Emerging patterns in the global distribution of dissolved organic matter fluorescence
Journal article, 2019

The spectra responsible for natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluorescence in 90 peer-reviewed studies have been compared using new similarity metrics. Numerous spectra cluster in specific wavelength regions. The emerging patterns suggest that most fluorescence spectra are not tied to biogeochemical origin, but exist across a wide range of different environments.
