Abstract

We isolated fulvic acids from two antarctic coastal ponds by means of preparative scale column chromatography with XAD‐8 resin. Both ponds are on Ross Island. Pony Lake at Cape Royds has abundant phytoplankton populations, and Feather Pond at Cape Bird has a luxuriant benthic algal mat. Neither site has higher plants in the watershed. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration in Pony Lake was very high, but the percentage of DOC accounted for by fulvic acid was low, as has been observed for other lakes with algal‐derived DOC sources. Fulvic acid from Pony Lake was more enriched in nitrogen than fulvic acid from Feather Pond, with a C: N atomic ratio of 13 in Pony Lake and a C: N ratio of 24 in Feather Pond. The [13 C]NMR spectra for the coastal pond samples showed that the content of sp 2‐hybridized carbon atoms (aromatic or olefinic) was only 16.5% of the total spectral area for Pony Lake and only 20.1% for Feather Pond.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
