Spectroscopic Properties and Driving Factors of Dissolved Organic Matter in the Yellow River Delta
JOURNAL OF PLANT ECOLOGY(2023)
摘要
AbstractRiver deltas are hot spots of biogeochemical cycling. Understanding sources and driving factors of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in river deltas is important for evaluating the role of river deltas in regulating global carbon flux. In this study, spectroscopic properties of soil DOM were analyzed in both freshwater and tidal areas of the Yellow River Delta. Five fluorescent components of soil DOM (two humic-like DOM, two protein-like DOM and one possible contaminant) were identified by parallel factor analysis and further confirmed by comparison with an online database. Concentration, spectroscopic properties and sources of soil DOM and its components differed between freshwater and tidal areas. DOM concentration was much higher in freshwater areas than in tidal areas. In freshwater areas, soil DOM was mainly derived from phytoplankton and microorganisms, while it was mainly derived from microorganisms and human activities in tidal areas. These differences in DOM between both areas were strongly driven by environmental factors, especially soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and its stoichiometric ratio C/N. These explained 80.7% and 69.6% of variations in DOM and chromophoric DOM (CDOM), respectively. In addition, phytoplankton also contributed to soil DOM, CDOM and fluorescent components C1–C4 as identified by significant positive correlations between them. These results imply that both the concentration and composition of soil DOM are strongly driven by soil properties and phytoplankton density in the Yellow River Delta.
