Organic matter (OM) refers to the largest reactive reservoir of carbon-based compounds on
Earth. Aside of its role as a source of carbon, OM is also actively involved in a wide range of …

Nitrate pollution in surface water has become an environmental problem of global concern.
The effective way for controlling the nitrate pollution of surface water is to identify the …

Sedimentary organic matter provides carbon substrates and energy sources for
microorganisms, which drive benthic biogeochemical processes and in turn modify the …

The identification and apportionment of the multiple pollution sources are essential and
crucial for improving the effectiveness of surface water resources management. In this study …

Despite numerous studies on changes to optical proxies of dissolved organic matter (DOM)
by biogeochemical processing, the applicability of commonly-used spectroscopic indices …

Abstract The Yangtze River, the largest river in Asia, plays a crucial role in linking
continental and oceanic ecosystems. However, the impact of natural and anthropogenic …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in river water dynamically changes with respect to its major
sources during heavy rain events. However, there has been no established tool to estimate …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in river watersheds dynamically changes based on its
source during a monsoon period with storm event. However, the variations in DOM in urban …

Priming effect (PE) is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism in the microbial
degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from freshwater to the ocean. However …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an essential component of environmental systems. It
usually originates from two end-members, including allochthonous and autochthonous …
