[Three dimensional fluorescent characteristics of soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Jiaozhou Bay coastal wetlands, China].

: In order to elucidate the structure characteristics of soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) and analyze the sources in Jiaozhou Bay coastal wetlands, four typical types of wetlands around Jiaozhou Bay were chosen, including Spartina anglica wetland, the barren wetland, Suaeda glauca wetland and Phragmites australis wetland. The soil samples were collected in January 2014. The contents of soil DOM were determined and the spectral analysis was made by three-dimensional fluorescent technology. The results showed that the contents of soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in four types of wetlands all decreased with the increasing soil depth, and S. anglica wetland ranked the first in the contents of soil DOC, followed by the barren wetland, S. glauca wetland and P. australis wetland. Five fluorescence peaks including B, T, A, D and C were found in the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum (3DEEMs), indicating tyrosine-like, tryptophan-like, phenol-like, soluble microbial byproduct-like and humic acid-like- substances, respectively. Fluorescence integration (FRI) was applied in the qualitative analysis of five components. The results showed that tryptophan-like, phenol-like and tyrosine-like substances ranked in top three in content, followed by soluble microbial byproduct-like and humic acid-like substances which were not significantly different. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that a positive correlation existed between any two of the five components of DOM, and they were all positively related to DOC content. In addition, there existed different correlations between the five components of DOM and total phosphorus (TP), available phosphorus (AP) and total nitrogen (TN). The soil DOM in the four types of wetlands was mainly produced by biotic interactions, and the degree of humification was relatively low.
