Abstract
Background
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a significant role in the biogeochemical cycle of crucial elements in aquatic ecosystem. However, it is still not clear on the spectral characteristics of water DOM in different types of alpine wetlands, which have less anthropogenic influences and intensive ultraviolet radiation. Here, we collected 107 water samples from marsh, lake, and river wetlands in the Zoige plateau, China, and analyzed the chemical characteristics, compositions, and potential sources of chromophoric DOM by combining UV–vis spectroscopy and excitation–emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with parallel factor analysis (EEMs-PARAFAC).
Results
UVC and UVA fulvic-like substances were the prevailing fluorescence components in water DOM, which accounted for 23.74–71.59% and 16.76–30.01% of the total fluorescence intensity, respectively. Compared with the lake and river wetlands, fluoresce intensities of UVC and UVA fulvic-like substances in DOM were higher in marsh wetland. Marsh wetlands possessed the highest SUVA254, E2/E3, E2/E4, and E4/E6 of DOM, suggesting higher humification degree, higher relative molecular nominal size, and higher aromaticity. And the E2/E4 ratios in most water samples were higher than 12, indicating water DOM was mainly derived from autochthonous sources in alpine wetlands.
Conclusions
Wetland types strongly affected the spectral characteristics of water DOM in Zoige plateau. These findings may be beneficial for sustainable management of alpine wetlands.
期刊介绍:
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed forum for the advancement and application to all fields of agriculture of modern chemical, biochemical and molecular technologies. The scope of this journal includes chemical and biochemical processes aimed to increase sustainable agricultural and food production, the evaluation of quality and origin of raw primary products and their transformation into foods and chemicals, as well as environmental monitoring and remediation. Of special interest are the effects of chemical and biochemical technologies, also at the nano and supramolecular scale, on the relationships between soil, plants, microorganisms and their environment, with the help of modern bioinformatics. Another special focus is the use of modern bioorganic and biological chemistry to develop new technologies for plant nutrition and bio-stimulation, advancement of biorefineries from biomasses, safe and traceable food products, carbon storage in soil and plants and restoration of contaminated soils to agriculture.
This journal presents the first opportunity to bring together researchers from a wide number of disciplines within the agricultural chemical and biological sciences, from both industry and academia. The principle aim of Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is to allow the exchange of the most advanced chemical and biochemical knowledge to develop technologies which address one of the most pressing challenges of our times - sustaining a growing world population.
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture publishes original research articles, short letters and invited reviews. Articles from scientists in industry, academia as well as private research institutes, non-governmental and environmental organizations are encouraged.
