Seaweed (Porphyra) cultivation enhances production of autochthonous refractory dissolved organic matter in coastal ecosystems by Ting Wang, Ting Wang, Jiajun Xu, Jiajun Xu, Randy A. Dahlgren, Qiang Liu, Yang Jia, Yang Jia, Binbin Chen, Binbin Chen, Hanqin Xu, Hanqin Xu, Zengling Ma, Zengling Ma, Liyin Qu, Liyin Qu

“…Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration was significantly elevated during the cultivation versus non-cultivation period, while particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration decreased, thereby resulting in a higher DOC/POC ratio in the water column. Endmember mixing analysis further suggested that autochthonous organic matter dominated in the coastal cultivation zone during both periods, with limited inputs of terrestrial organic carbon. …”
