1] Small mountainous rivers (SMR) have recently been recognized as important contributors of organic carbon to the marine environment. We present dissolved and particulate organic carbon fluxes from previously unexamined rivers of the southwestern region of New Zealand's North Island and additional flux data from the Southern Alps, South Island, New Zealand. The dissolved fluxes are relatively low and show little variation. The particulate fluxes are less than our previous estimates but still high compared to other non-SMR watersheds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
