Abstract
![CDATA[An acid sulfate soil landscape was investigated to understand the pattern of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). Drainage water was measure in situ for DIC using a novel conversion methodology. Sediments and soils were collected and used in an incubation experiment to induce oxidation. Temporal and spatial variations in DIC and stable isotope (13CDIC) concentration were found to exist between the groundwater and surface water. This demonstrated a hydrologic boundary between the surface water located in the drainage system and the underlying groundwater. Lab-based atmospheric equilibration studies of groundwater showed temporal decreases in pH, Fe(II), alkalinity, and, DIC with an associated increase in 13CDIC when compared to non-acid sulfate impacted waterbodies. The loss of DIC was demonstrated to follow first-order kinetics.]]
