英文摘要: Terrestrial contribution of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to riverine carbon transport remains relatively uncertain despite recent research highlighting its importance. Here we present data on changing state of atmosphere-land-water transfer and associated shift in DOC build-up in Ganga River (India) for a period of 6 years (March, 2007-February, 2013). Although the N:P stoichiometry of atmospheric deposition (AD) showed a declining trend, there was over 1.4 to 1.6-fold increase in AD-NO3 -, 1.5 to 1.8-fold increase in AD-OC and, over 1.5 to 2.2-fold increase in AD-NH4 + and AD-PO4 3- input over time. Water soluble organic carbon and microbial activity in sub-catchments and, DOC and nutrient concentrations in runoff increased consistently over time along the gradient of AD-input. We found a variable but strong linkage between atmospheric deposition and hydrological control of terrestrial carbon and nutrient input to the river. The results showed that the increasing input of AD-nutrients enhance primary production whereas, such input in sub-catchment enhance DOC in runoff and, the coupled effect of these favor DOC build-up in Ganga River at Varanasi. The study that forms the first report establishing trans-boundary drivers of DOC in Ganga River suggests that future climate model should consider large scale inter-regional time series data on changing atmosphere-land-water transfer and associated shift in carbon balance of major rivers for more accurately predicting cross-domain carbon linkages and planning for integrated river basin management. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
