Pony Lake (Antarctica) Reference FA (1R109F) now available!
In December, 2005 to February, 2006, Prof. Yu-ping (Yo) Chin
(Ohio State University) and Prof. Diane McKnight (University of Colorado) used
the XAD-8 resin method to isolate a reference
fulvic acid from Pony Lake in Antarctica. Pony Lake fulvic acid is formed entirely
from biomass that does not contain lignin. As such, its chemical composition
is expected to be an end-member composition for aquatic
fulvic acids, representing negligible input of terrestrially derived organic
matter.
Humic Literature Review
Dr. Dan Olk, National Coordinator of the U.S. Chapter, has contributed a Bibliography containing many recent references dealing with humic substances. The citations, which are mostly from the soil literature, are loosely grouped by the following topics.
- Aquatic or Dissolved NOM
- Elemental, nutrient, and biochemical constituents of NOM
- Methods for fractionating and analyzing NOM
- Source materials of NOM
- NOM Interactions with soil or aquatic components
- NOM cycling and stabilization
- Effects of human activities on NOM
- Modeling
- Graduate theses
