Dissolved inorganic carbon organic phosphorus

Fig. 15.6. CENTURY model-simulated results for soil phosphorus loss (organic and inorganic phosphorus) total nitrogen loss (nitrate, gaseous nitrogen and dissolved organic nitrogen) and nitrate loss (a) and change in live leaf carbon-to-nitrogen and carbon-to-phosphorus ratios (b) for the Hawaiian 4.1 million year soil chronosequence.

(see Table 8.4) versus the respective concentrations a-b of dissolved sulfate, chloride, 12 nietals (including all speciation forms), c of Nitrogen as nitrate, ammonium and organically bbund N, d of soluble reactive (SRP) and total Phosphorus (TP), and e of dissolved organic (DOC) and inorganic Carbon (IC). represents values below detection limit... 

The organic material is subjected to a variety of anabolic and catabolic processes, which are controlled by organisms. Metabolites of these processes can be released into the water as both, as POM and as dissolved organic material (DOM). Also in DOM, the amount of inorganic precursors is generally quantified as a sum of dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen or phosphorus (DOC, DON, DOP). As DOM is not subjected to...
