  Information - SSS4 Functional role of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil and aquatic systems (co-listed in BG & HS)

Event Information
Dissolved organic matter is by definition the most mobile inanimate organic fraction in soils, sediments, and aquatic systems, including lakes, oceans, and groundwater. It has numerous ecological functions and influences e.g. microbial activities, plant growth, trace gas production, and pollutant fate. In this Session recent research dealing with fraction will be holistically presented. It is hoped that this Session will link with other sessions in the Soil Systems Sciences Programme and with the Hydrological Sciences and Ocean Sciences Programmes.
