  abstract = {{I}n coastal systems, the multiplicity of sources fueling the pool of particulate organic matter ({POM}) leads to divergent estimations of {POM} composition. {E}leven systems (two littoral systems, eight embayments and semi-enclosed systems and one estuary) distributed along the three maritime facades of {F}rance were studied for two to eight years in order to quantify the relative contribution of organic matter sources to the surface-water {POM} pool in coastal systems. {T}his study was based on carbon and nitrogen elemental and isotopic ratios, used for running mixing models. {T}he {POM} of the estuary is dominated by terrestrial material (93% on average), whereas the {POM} of the other systems is dominated by phytoplankton (84% on average). {N}evertheless, for the latter systems, the {POM} composition varies in space, with (1) systems where {POM} is highly composed of phytoplankton (>= 93%), (2) systems characterized by a non-negligible contribution of benthic (8-19%) and/or river (7-19%) {POM} sources, and (3) the {M}editerranean systems characterized by the contribution of diazotroph organisms (ca. 14%). {A} continent-to-ocean gradient of river and/or benthic {POM} contribution is observed. {F}inally, time series reveal (1) seasonal variations of {POM} composition, (2) differences in seasonality between systems, and (3) an inshore-offshore gradient of seasonality within each system that were sampled at several stations. {S}patial and seasonal patterns of {POM} composition are mainly due to local to regional processes such as hydrodynamics and sedimentary hydrodynamic (e.g. resuspension processes, changes in river flows, wind patterns influencing along-shore currents) but also due to the geomorphology of the systems (depth of the water column, distance to the shore). {F}uture studies investigating the link between these forcings and {POM} composition would help to better understand the dynamics of {POM} composition in coastal systems.},
