✦ Synopsis

A mono-protic multi-site model is developed to obtain a pK(acid) -concentration distribution.

Dense and equal interval pH data are required for an accurate characterization, A computer driven titrimetric system is used to obtain the data.

The technique is applied to dissolved organic carbon (> 15 mg C L -1) samples from the Kejimkujik region, Nova Scotia.

A calculation shows that the acidic (pH=4.6) dystrophic waters can result from mixing 15 mg C L -1 of the organic acids with an initial inorganic system of about 75 !ueq L -1 alkalinity.

The monitoring of eutrophication can be performed by measuring the turnover times of amino acids in watermasses using the Wright-Hobbie uptake kinetics approach. The substrate specificity of amino acids varies greater with turnover times than with sampling location in watermasses with a certain wat

## Abstract Many upland catchments in the UK have undergone afforestation; their characteristic waterlogged soils require extensive pre‐plantation ground drainage to allow tree establishment. In peatland areas this can result in very highly coloured runoff and enhanced dissolved organic matter (DOM

The spectral absorption properties of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and their distributions in two Chinese estuaries, the Yangtze River Estuary and the Jiulong River Estuary, were studied during August 2003 (wet season) and during different seasons between 2003-2005, respectively. The
