Terrigenous dissolved organic matter persists in the energy-limited deep groundwaters of the Fennoscandian Shield

Dissolved organic matter in the Fennoscandian Shield deep continental bedrock fracture waters of varying characteristics and ages carries a strong terrigenous signature, and only a small proportion of this potential energy source links to the deep biosphere microbial community.
