An influx of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC) into freshwater habitats can regulate a range of ecosystem characteristics, from water clarity to productivity. To understand the extent to which DOC can regulate ecosystem functioning, we conducted a survey to determine the source of DOC in lo...
