I have benthic samples that were collected with an Ekman dredge from some small ponds. The samples contain quite a bit of coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM, basically dead leaves). I would like to quantify the amount of CPOM in the samples but they were preserved with 70% ethanol in the field.
Is there any evidence that ethanol preservation alters benthic CPOM mass?
