TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cold storage at 4 °C on DOC concentration and quality in water samples collected from a tropical peat catchment were examined, and the authors concluded that cold storage is an acceptable preservation method for tropical DOC water samples, for moderate time periods, and is preferable to freezing or storage at ambient temperatures.

TL;DR: Neutrally buoyant microplastics behaved in the same manner as a solute (Rhodamine) and more importantly displayed classical fundamental dispersion theory in uniform open channel flow, suggesting Rhodamine, a fluorescent tracer, can be released into the natural environment with the potential to mimic microplastic movement in the water column.

TL;DR: The predictive ability of the models suggests that UV-visible spectroscopy is both a viable and low cost method for rapidly analyzing DOC in water samples immediately post-collection, which can be important when working at remote field sites with access to only basic laboratory facilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured emissions from nine ponds and seven ditches over a full year and found that the concentrations of GHGs were positively related to nutrient status (C, N, P), and ponds GHG concentrations were highest in smallest waterbodies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first annual estimate of exported fluvial organic carbon in the drainage waters of four peatland oil palm plantations in Sarawak, Malaysia.
