Particulate organic carbon in the estuarine turbidity maxima of the Gironde, Loire and Seine estuaries: origin and lability

Introduction
Materials and methods
– Study area
– Sampling and database
– Determination of organic carbon contents and their labile fraction
– Fluvial POC inputs and origin
Results
– POC contents in the TSS from the ETMs of the Gironde, Loire and Seine estuaries
– Lability of organic matter in the ETMs of the Gironde, Loire and Seine
– Lability of organic matter in the riverine material entering the estuaries
– Fluvial organic carbon pools entering the estuaries of the Gironde, Loire and Seine
Discussion
– Limitations of the labile organic carbon determination
– Refractory POC contents in rviers and in the ETMs
Conclusion
