Rapid Access: Linking Organic Matter and Organic Phosphorus Dynamics within Freshwater Wetlands of the Everglades


EMSL Project ID
50648

Abstract

The primary goal of this work is to investigate the sources and fate of organic matter and the relationship between organic carbon and organic phosphorus within the wetlands of the Everglades using a suite of biomarkers (University of Florida) and ion mobility quadrupole time of flight liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (IM-QTOF-LCMS; Texas A&M). We propose to utilize EMSL’s facilities to analyze 12 dissolved organic matter samples with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT ICR MS) to complement the biomarker and IM-QTOF-LCMS datasets that we have already gathered at UF and TAMU, respectively.
