NM, not measured.

a

DOC, dissolved organic carbon measured as the difference between dissolved non-purgable organic carbon and total inorganic carbon.

b

Total N, total dissolved nitrogen measured as all N compounds present in sample, including nitrogen compounds in DOM.

c

Water flow rate; BDL, below detection limit for the flow meter measurement.

d

NC, not calculated because velocity measurements were below detection.

e

FI, Fluorescence index, see text for description.

f

HIX, Humification index, see text for description.

g

BIX, Biological index, see text for description.
