| Theinput of organic carbon being an indicator of organic pollution as well to theoceans provides crucial sources in food web of estuarine ecosystems. The BlackSea surrounded by six countries is the world’s largest land-locked inland sea and its totallength of the coastal zone is 4,340 km, of which 1,400 km is shared by Turkey.The Black Sea receives annually a considerable freshwater input from the riverscarrying substantial loads of organic matter, nutrients and anthropogenicpollutants and the coastal parts are highly affected by eutrophication. The aimof this study is to determine the temporal variability of total carbon (TC),total organic carbon (TOC) and total inorganic carbon (TIC) carried from theeight Turkish streams to the Black Sea. The streams included in this study areAğasar,Fol, Galanima, Değirmendere,Yomra, Karadere, Manahoz and Solaklı, within the boundaries of Trabzon Province, themost densely populated city located in the coast of Southeastern Black Sea. Thewater sampling studies have been monthly conducted in one station, which wasselected at the point where the stream is discharged into the Black Sea, foreach stream during a period of twelve months between March 2015 and February2016. Considering the mean values for each stream, TOC concentration fluctuatedfrom 1.59 to 25.90 mg/L and the Stream Yomra being under immense pressure dueto various kinds of anthropogenic activities among which sand and gravel miningis the most disastrous one was the most critical one. The streams showed highTC and TIC yields during the summer and autumn months, corresponding to theseasonal trend of stream discharge … |
