| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in a stream is derived from the soil respiratory CO2 gas in the basin. So, we succeeded to obtain information about the loaded decomposable organic matter from the basin by using a plot of δ13C vs. concentration of DIC. Most of all the δ13C values of H2CO3* were distributed from -26‰ to -22‰ that were close to the δ13C values of the soil respiratory CO2. In several streams, we were able to observe the effect of photosynthesis and atmospheric equilibrium on DIC pool. Meanwhile, we found that δ13C values of DIC in pore water of lake sediment can be a index of methane production within a sediment.
