Abstract
Dissolved organic matter was isolated from coastal and open-ocean surface waters having a wide range of biological productivities, and from seawater of intermediate depths. Approximately 50% of the organic matter was recovered by the use of activated-charcoal chromatography. The organic matter isolated from different types of water masses exhibited varying spectroscopic characteristics, and stable carbon-isotope compositions. The ability of the isolated organic matter to interact with copper ions also varied, but over a relatively narrow range which was not exceeded by more than a factor of two by similarly isolated terrigenous organic matter. © 1980.
