Sažetak
Total organic carbon (TOC) plays an important role in the carbon cycle and in biological, geological and physico-chemical reactions that take place in surface waters. Seasonal changes in TOC concentrations in the water column are affected by organic matter intake through soil leaching and algal blooms, hydrological transport, flow, heat exchange among water layers and biological decomposition, which is controlled by temperature, light and nutrients. The goal of the paper is to show the values through seasonal variations obtained by using the high temperature catalytic oxidation method to measure the concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC) in surface water samples of the Nature Park Kopački rit. As part of the Naturavita project, a total of 226 samples collected at 19 different locations in the period from July 2021 to June 2022 were processed. The measured TOC values ranged from 2.6 to 140 mg C/l. The 50th percentile values for the TOC indicator ranged from 3.05 to 16.5 mg C/l. Based on the obtained TOC values, the lower values were recorded mostly during winter months, while the higher ones were observed in autumn, spring and summer months due to high summer temperatures leading to an increase in the amount of carbon that can be washed away and contribute to a greater increase in TOC during summer and autumn months compared to winter and spring.
