Abstract
Here, we present a novel approach for investigating dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition using thermal desorption proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), a technique that provides insight into the molecular composition of DOM < m/z 500 (termed "PTR-DOC"). The applicability of PTR-MS for understanding the relationship between DOM composition and reactivity has yet to be explored. We present results from a synoptic sampling campaign of streams and lakes in a Swedish forest catchment where we measured DOM composition using PTR-MS and traditional optical methods and conducted DOM biodegradability assays. PTR-DOC comprised
