Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays important roles in the global carbon cycle and aquatic ecosystem health. Estuaries are critical zones connecting land ocean which DOM experiences dispersion, transformation, degradation, deposition, etc. The Water-sediment regulation scheme (WSRS) was implemented Yellow River (YR) approximately half of annually sediment a quarter water were poured into estuary around 20 days. Meanwhile, huge amounts discharged (YRE) rapidly, but their processes fates YRE adjacent seas unclear. This study aims to investigate molecular spectrum compositions its associated transformation mechanisms sea before (from June 8 12, 2022) after July 18 22, WSRS. A relatively greater amount highly unsaturated compounds terrestrial-derived found with higher aromaticity humification degree WSRS, by bulk geochemical techniques, optical spectroscopy Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) techniques. High levels less photodegraded estuarine region due rapidly pouring fresh YRE. high suspended concentration facilitates sorption dissolved (DOC), especially those sulphur-containing decreased both relative intensity number. However, long term, WSRS may lead an increase DOC column. Along YR plume coastal current, transported from Laizhou Bay south arrived at Bohai Strait east. Overall, this research provides valuable insights variations induced intensive dam-orientated short term.
