Composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter in a semi-enclosed mariculture bay: Insights from spectral and stable carbon isotope analyses.
Characterizing the composition, sources, and apparent bioavailability of coastal dissolved organic matter (DOM) is essential for understanding carbon cycling in semi-enclosed mariculture systems. In this study, field observations and laboratory incubation experiments were conducted in the Haizhou Bay (HZB), South Yello...
