 Central River Meanders, Mammoth Cave, Jenolan
The source of Central River is conjectured by H. Shannon [Shannon 1976] to be Hennings Creek and associated alluvial storage.
This is based upon the following observations: rises in Central River coinciding with advances of Hennings Creek or of the Jenolan River to the Serpentine area, the sinking point of Hennings Creek (see map) and the tracing of flourescein from a surface tributary opposite Serpentine Cave in August 1972 to Central River [Shannon 1973a].
Other known tributaries of Central River are the stream from Waterfall Passage, flood flow from the Infinite Crawl, possibly the stream appearing in Twiddly-Om-Pom (that is if it is confirmed not to be the major portion of Central River) and that appearing in flood in Great North Cavern.

A study of the sources of organic matter (OM) and the biogeochemical and physico-chemical sinks was undertaken in the York River estuary, Virginia.
Stable isotopic (d13C, d15N) and radiocarbon (D14C) values of bacterial nucleic acids were used to estimate the sources and ages of OM assimilated by bacteria in the York and Hudson River estuaries.
Thus, the physical form of OM (particulate vs dissolved) may affect both the distribution and biogeochemical processing of OM such that terrigenous DOM appears to be exported from rivers while POM is retained within the estuary.

The distribution and accumulation of particulate terrestrial organic matter (OM) west of the Atchafalaya River was examined using mineral surface area, elemental, carbon isotopic, and biomarker analyses.
C/N ratios, carbon isotopic values, and lignin content and composition indicate that the OM exported by this river system is likely composed of two distinct ‘pools’: fresh, C3 plant debris that is deposited close to the river, and degraded soil OM of C4 origin, which is carried farther offshore.
Quantitative evaluation of organic carbon (OC) burial in the study area accounts for 16% of the riverine OC discharge.
