| Abstract: | Ultraviolet–visible absorption spectral slope ratios SR (slope in 275–295 nm divided by slope in 350–400 nm) and humification index (HIX, integrated fluorescence emission in 435–480 nm
divided by that in 435–480 and 300–345 nm) were compared when characterizing chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM)
in three humic acids and 44 whole water samples. HIX increased with increasing pH for humic acids, while their SR showed much more complicated dependencies on pH. There was a negative correlation between SR and HIX. SR increased in the order terrestrial coal/peat < terrestrial soil/river < seawater, while HIX increased in the order seawater < terrestrial
soil/river < terrestrial coal/peat. The comparative study in this work indicates that terrestrially derived CDOM has higher
HIX and lower SR than marine CDOM. Investigators may potentially use these two indices to compare qualitatively the character of CDOM in different
sources (e.g., terrestrial vs. marine). |
