Investigations into the pattern of fine particulate organic carbon (FPOC) concentration and export during periods of rapidly changing discharge in a small, mountain stream revealed maximum values before peak discharge. FPOC was washed out of the stream very rapidly with increasing discharge. A peak in FPOC concentration also occurred at the onset of rainfall during summer storms, before discharge began to rise; rainfall itself rather than increasing flow appeared to be responsible for this early peak. The length of time since the last storm determined, in part, the concentration of FPOC achieved during that discharge event.
