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 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. The notably high DOC and CDOM yields for the Suixi River further emphasize the importance of small, tropical rivers in shaping the estuarine and coastal carbon budget.…”
