Accumulation of recalcitrant dissolved organic matter in aerobic aquatic systems

Abstract An oxygenated atmosphere changed life on Earth but it also provided a negative feedback to organic matter accumulation by increasing decomposition rates. Nonetheless, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a huge carbon pool (> 750 Pg) and it can accumulate to high concentrations (20–100 mg C...
