The effect of photochemical degradation on the carbon cycle in a eutrophic, semiarid estuary (Baffin Bay, Texas) was investigated using closed-system incubations. During this study, we collected eight time series of dissolved inorganic carbon, and their stable carbon isotope data in closed-system experiments. Stable carbon isotope of dissolved organic carbon was collected at the beginning and the end of each incubation. Chlorophyll a was only measured at the beginning of each incubation. Photochemical production rate and stable carbon isotope composition of photochemical degraded DOC can be calculated. ...
