http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00000573 Two adjacent catchments in
the Otway Ranges of Victoria, Australia (Redwater and
Clearwater) produce water with markedly different concentrations
of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) during summer. Water from
Redwater Creek had a DOC concentration of 32 mg L-l, while water
from Clearwater Creek had a DOC concentration of 3.8 mg L-l.
Examination of the catchments revealed that while climate,
topography, vegetation and land use were similar, the soils were
different. The objective of this study was to examine the
relationship betwe
