摘要

Abstract

Mangrove-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) has an important effect on estuarine and coastal area on a large scale. In order to improve the understanding of origin

composition

and fate of DOM in mangrove-fringed estuarine and coastal areas

dissolved humic substances (DHS) were isolated from one mangrove pore-water sample and one near-shore seawater sample downstream the mangrove pore-water site in the eastern coast of Hainan Island

South China. Fulvic acids

humic acids and XAD-4 fractions were obtained from the two water samples by using a two-column array of XAD-8 and XAD-4 resins. Chemical and spectroscopic methods were used to analyze the features of these DHS. Compared to the mangrove pore-water DHS

the near-shore seawater DHS were found rich in 13C with lower C/N ratios and more aliphatic compounds and carbohydrates

but less aromatic structures and carboxyl groups. As for the three fractions of the two DHS

XAD-4 fractions contain more aliphatics

carbohydrates

carboxyl groups

and enrich in 13C with respect to both fulvic and humic acids. Photo-oxidation transformation and contribution from marine-derived DOM were considered as the main reasons resulted in the difference in compositional features for these DHS in this study.
