Data used in 'Size-Based Characterization of Freshwater Dissolved Organic Matter finds Similarities within a Water Body Type across Different Canadian Ecozones'
- Description:
- Field collection of freshwater surface and groundwater samples from five ecozones across Canada. Concentration and composition (via UV-absorbance and size-exclusion chromatography) of dissolved organic matter were analyzed across all sites and compared across hydrologic compartments to identify similarities in dissolved organic matter (DOM).
