Hydrological and biogeochemical controls on watershed dissolved organic matter transport: pulse‐shunt concept

Hydrological precipitation and snowmelt events trigger large “pulse” releases of terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) into drainage networks due to an increase in DOM concentration with discharge. Thus, low‐frequency large events, which are predicted to increase with climate change, are respon...
