About this ebook
The third edition of Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter, edited by Dennis A. Hansell and Craig A. Carlson, expands upon its predecessors to include 18 comprehensive chapters covering the foundational chemistry, distribution, and ecological significance of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the global ocean carbon cycle. [1]
The book updates classic frameworks and introduces nine entirely new chapters written by leading global research experts. [1, 2]
Key & Newly Added Topics
- Fundamental Roles: A dedicated focus on "why dissolved organics matter" and how DOM regulates atmospheric climate and carbon sequestration. [1, 2]
- DOM as Metabolites: Detailed coverage of the molecular complexities of DOM and its direct interaction with marine microbial loops as active metabolic substrates. [1, 2]
- Submarine Hydrothermal Vent Systems: Exploration of deep-ocean inputs and the localized removal/scavenging processes occurring via hydrothermal activity. [1, 2]
- Organic Metal-Binding Ligands: Analysis of how DOM interacts with and controls the availability and chemistry of trace metals in the sea. [1, 2]
- Volatile Organic Carbon (VOC): Examination of the major classes of marine VOCs (e.g., non-methane hydrocarbons, oxygenated and nitrogen-containing VOCs) and their associated sea-air fluxes. [1, 2]
- Regional Dynamics: The book features a brand-new synthesis of recent research focusing heavily on the DOM dynamics of the South China Sea. [1, 2]
Core Biogeochemical Themes Kept from Previous Editions
- Production & Accumulation: Mechanisms driving the net production and accumulation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) relative to overall marine primary production.
- Sinks & Marine Photochemistry: Processes that govern the abiotic and photochemical breakdown of old or biologically recalcitrant DOM into usable forms or gaseous components like CO2 and CO.
- The Biological Carbon Pump: Quantitative assessments regarding the structural role DOM export plays in global overturning circulations and its ultimate stabilization in the dark ocean. [1, 2, 3, 4]
