Mobilization and Export of Particulate and Dissolved Solids and Organic Carbon From Contrasting Mountainous River Watersheds in California and Oregon

Abstract

The magnitude, composition, and timing of dissolved and particulate fluxes by rivers are important variables in the biogeochemical cycles of many elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, silica, trace metals) along the land-ocean continuum, from soils and streams to estuaries and the coastal ocean (e.g.,
