Spectral characteristics of soil dissolved organic matter: Long-term effects of exogenous organic matter on soil organic matter and spatial-temporal changes

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effect of urban and green waste compost exogenous organic matter (EOM) on soil dissolved organic matter (DOM). A luvic cambisol was amended 7 years before the study. DOM was investigated along a soil profile down to 1 m depth regarding seasonal variations (autumn and spring). DOM sampled by suction cups was characterized using dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content and excitation emission...
