Abstract
Organic carbon (OC) depleted in 13C is a widely used tracer for
terrestrial organic matter (OM) in aquatic systems. Photochemical reactions
can, however, change δ13C of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) when
chromophoric, aromatic-rich terrestrial OC is selectively mineralized. We
assessed the robustness of the δ13C signature of DOC
(δ13CDOC) as a tracer for terrestrial OM by estimating
its change during the photobleaching of chromophoric DOM (CDOM) from 10
large rivers. These rivers cumulatively account for approximately one-third of the
world's freshwater discharge to the global ocean. Photobleaching of CDOM by
simulated solar radiation was associated with the photochemical
mineralization of 16 to 43% of the DOC and, by preferentially removing
compounds depleted in 13C, caused a 1 to 2.9‰ enrichment in
δ13C in the residual DOC. Such solar-radiation-induced
photochemical isotopic shift could bias the calculations of terrestrial OM
discharge in coastal oceans towards the marine end-member. Shifts in
terrestrial δ13CDOC should be taken into account when
constraining the terrestrial end-member in global calculation of
terrestrially derived DOM in the world ocean.
