A RAPID METHOD FOR THE ESTIMATION OF THE CARBON CONTENT OF SESTON AND PERIPHYTON

Richard Armstrong, Charles R. Goldman, Dennis K. Fujita

Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

Microgram amounts of organic carbon in seston and periphyton samples were measured with an infrared analyzer after combustion with an induction furnace. Replicate standards gave the same results to within 3%. Replicate seston samples prepared by filtering 135 ml of Castle Lake water or 500 ml of Lake Tahoe water usually agreed within 10%; replicated periphyton samples agreed within 20%.
