Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Atmospheric Deposition of Dissolved Organic Carbon

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

Atmospheric deposition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to terrestrial ecosystems is a small, but rarely studied component of the global carbon (C) cycle. Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and organic particulates are the sources of atmospheric C and deposition represents a major pathway for the removal of organic C from the atmosphere. Here, we evaluate the spatial and temporal patterns of DOC deposition using 70 datasets at least one year in length ranging from 40° south to 66° north latitude. Globally, the median DOC concentration in bulk deposition was 1.7 mg L-1. The DOC concentrations were significantly higher in tropical (< 25°) latitudes compared to temperate (> 25°) latitudes. DOC deposition was significantly higher in the tropics because of both higher DOC concentrations and precipitation. Using the global median or latitudinal specific DOC concentrations leads to a calculated global deposition of 202 or 295 Tg C yr-1 respectively. Many sites exhibited seasonal variability in DOC concentration. At temperate sites, DOC concentrations were higher during the growing season; at tropical sites, DOC concentrations were higher during the dry season. Thirteen of the thirty-four long-term (> 10 years) datasets showed significant declines in DOC concentration over time with the others showing no significant change. Based on the magnitude and timing of the various sources of organic C to the atmosphere, biogenic VOCs likely explain the latitudinal pattern and the seasonal pattern at temperate latitudes while decreases in anthropogenic emissions are the most likely explanation for the declines in DOC concentration.

Description:

data processing methods: The database of DOC measurements in precipitation began with a search of the literature in the ISI Web of Science online database (http://isiknowledge.com/). However, because we found relatively few datasets using the search terms “dissolved organic carbon” and “precipitation” we supplemented the published datasets by contacting researchers who might be measuring DOC in precipitation. We asked if they had any data and if they knew anyone who had any data that encompassed at least one year of DOC in precipitation. The database includes 70 datasets from around the globe with data at least at monthly frequency for at least one complete year.
