Proton Binding Characteristics of Dissolved Organic Matter Extracted from the North Atlantic by Pablo Lodeiro (4534324)

“…We estimate that 11.4 ± 0.6% of C atoms in the extracted marine DOM have a functional group with a binding site for ionic species. The log <i>K̅</i>_H of the most acidic groups was larger (4.01–4.02 ± 0.02) than that observed in DOM from coastal waters (3.82 ± 0.02), while the chemical binding heterogeneity parameter increased with depth to values (<i>m</i>₁= 0.666 ± 0.009) ca. 10% higher than those observed in surface open ocean or coastal samples. …”

Spatial Scaling of Non-Native Fish Richness across the United States by Qinfeng Guo (566750)

“…The fractions of both domestic (introduced among watersheds within the USA) and foreign (introduced from abroad) exotics increased with area across scales but decreased within each scale. The foreign exotics exhibited the highest dominance (lowest evenness) and spatial variation in distribution, followed by domestic exotics and natives, although on average natives still occupy larger areas than domestic and foreign exotics. …”
