New TROPECOS paper in Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science "Vertical and tidal variability of dissolved organic matter in mangrove soils: influence on dissolved trace metal dynamics"
- Dissolved organic carbon content is higher in deeper soil layers.
- The deep dissolved organic matter is older and more humified than at the surface.
- The vertical gradients studied are amplified during neap tides.
- Cr and Mn follow the dissolved organic carbon vertical gradient.
- Ni and Mo follow an opposite vertical gradient to dissolved organic carbon.
