Sediment alkaline-extracted organic matter (AEOM)fluorescence : An archive of Holocene marine organic matter origins
Organic matter (OM)is comprised of a complex mixture of substrates, which are difficult to fully characterize. Therefore a range of analytical approaches is applied to provide a better understanding of the dynamics and biogeochemical cycling of aquatic system. One approach is UV–Visible spectroscopy, which includes measurements of spectral absorption and fluorescence of colored and fluorescent fr
