Spatial and seasonal variations of organic carbon-based nutrients in Setiu Wetland, Malaysia

The aim of this study was to assess spatial and seasonal variations of dissolved and particulate organic carbon (DOC and POC, respectively) in the Setiu Wetland, which is located in the southern region of the South China Sea coastal area. Surface water samples were collected monthly from October 200...
