Review on Dissolved Organic Carbon and Particulate Organic Carbon in Marine Environment

Abstract

Quantification the Dissolved and Particulate organic carbon in marine waters is an essential step towards ecosystem modeling and understanding carbon sequestration processes. A detailed view of estimated and recorded carbon concentration from Arctic to Antarctic is the prime goal of this review. This review compiles some of the important research work carried out in quantifying the organic carbon available in off shore and open waters and in coral reef environment. The cited literatures were collected, grouped and carefully analyzed to give a comprehensive view on current status of marine environment with regard to distribution of dissolved and particulate organic carbon. Keywords: DOC, POC, continental shelf waters, open sea waters, coral reef environment.

Enhancing Molecular Characterization of Dissolved Organic Matter by Integrative Direct Infusion and Liquid Chromatography Nontargeted Workflows

“…DOM is operatively defined as the fraction of aqueous organic matter not retained on a 0.7 μm pore size filter and is constituted by a large, complex, and highly heterogeneous mixture of water-soluble organic compounds which are mainly biogenic but also include a minor fraction of anthropogenic origin . Concentrations of DOM generally range from 40 μM (<1 mg/L) in the deep ocean up to several hundred μM in impacted continental waters . DOM composition influences the function and activity of microorganisms involved in biogeochemical cycles and planetary ecosystem processes. ,, A comprehensive chemical evaluation of DOM is particularly challenging due to the heterogeneity of its composition.…”

Utility of Underwater Weenie Life Forms as Voluminous Organisms: A Review

“…This leads to an increased amount of nutrition is water, hence suitable condition for algal growth but adversely affects the coral growth and causes coral mortality (Gregg et al, 2013). Increasing climatic change and increase in the carbon dioxide level has caused the warming of the ocean and hence causes misbalancing in pH which points acidification, leading to coral bleaching and presently making it as endangered habitats (Anthony et al, 2011;Rocha et al, 2011;Kumari & Mohan, 2018). Therefore the current review is prepared for providing the basic knowledge about how these underwater weenie life forms could be conserved by culturing as well as some of their biomedical benefaction to humankind as a whole.…”
