MF24244Optical properties of dissolved organic matter along a salinity gradient from a boreal river estuary to open coastal waters
This study investigated the optical and isotopic properties of organic matter along a salinity gradient from the Glomma River to the outer Oslofjord. The results indicated that the light absorbance by terrestrial organic carbon and its fraction to marine-derived carbon diminish the further we go from the shore. It illustrates how coastal darkening is a relevant ecological issue affecting mainly near-coastal areas.
