Seasonal dynamics of dissolved organic matter in a small tropical estuary-coastal bay continuum: distribution, transformation, flux, and global perspectives by Pengfei Liu, Kuan Jiang, Qi Tan, Fajin Chen, Renming Jia, Chao Wang, Chao Wang, Chao Wang, Chao Wang

“…The Suixi River in summer contributed considerably but disproportionately to the annual DOM flux (47-59%), due to intense soil leaching processes that mobilize refractory terrigenous DOM. The deviation observed in the Suixi River’s DOC-CDOM relationship from that of global rivers, coupled with a distinctive single-peak pattern between the carbon-specific absorption coefficient and water yield in global rivers, highlights the critical role of watershed nature in influencing river-exported DOM composition. …”
