    Abstract:
    At present, there are few studies on the spectral characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the sediments of the Poyang Lake basin. Therefore, excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMs) technology and ultraviolet-visible spectra combined with the parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) were applied to investigate the fluorescent components and sources of DOM in sediments from Poyang Lake. The results showed that the DOM in sediments originated from both terrestrial and autochthonous sources with a high humification. Compared with the sub-lakes, the DOM from the main lake was characterized with a higher concentration of colored DOM, larger particle size, and higher aromaticity and humification degree. In addition, four fluorescence components of DOM in sediments were identified by the PARAFAC model, including three humic-like components (C1, C2, and C4) and one protein-like component (C3). The fluorescence intensity of the humic substances in the sub-lakes was higher than those in the main lake. Furthermore, the percentage of fluorescence abundance of C1 was the highest both in the sub-lakes (42%) and main lake (46%). The spatial distribution of the fluorescence intensity of the four components gradually increased from west to east, and the peak values were observed in the Duchang and Nanji Wetland. This may be related to the death of a large number of plants due to the rise in the water level during the wet season and human activities. Principal component analysis showed that although there were no significant differences in the four fluorescent components between the sub-lakes and the main lake, the humification degree of DOM in the sub-lakes was slightly higher than that in the main lake.
