(Table S2) Contribution of formulas and elemental ratios of solid phase extracted dissolved organic matter from porewater and overlying bottom water collected during Maria S. Merian cruise MSM29 and Polarstern cruise PS85 to the Fram Strait
Contribution of different molecular categories, H/Cwa and O/Cwa elemental ratios, aromaticity index (Aimodwa) and double bond equivalents (DBEwa) and indices of degradation (Ideg) and lability (MLBwl; Ibioprod). The contribution of each molecular category is expressed as a percentage of the total formulas in each sample obtained after normalization. Molecular formulas were additionally associated with different molecular categories because less than 6% of the DOM has been identified on a molecular level. Molecular categories are defined as follow: 1) condensed aromatics, with an AImod ≥ 0.67 (Koch and Dittmar, 2006, doi:10.1002/rcm.2386) was separated in 3 different subgroups, either <15 (condensed aromatics 0.5 but <0.67; 3) highly unsaturated formulas, with an AImod <0.5, H/C <1.5; 4) formulas of unsaturated aliphatics, with an 1.5< H/C <2, O/C 2, O/C 0.9 and with either no (sugars) or with heteroatoms (sugars-CHOx) and 7)unsaturated with N (unsaturated-N) molecular formulas, with 1.5 < H/C <2, O/C 0. Additionally, polyphenols, highly unsaturated and unsaturated aliphatics were further separated in oxygen rich (-O-rich) and oxygen poor (-O-poor) if the element ratio O/C was > 0.5 or < 0.5 respectively.
