Sulfate Reduction in Sediments Produces High Levels of Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter

Abstract Sulfate reduction plays an important role in altering dissolved organic matter (DOM) in estuarine and coastal sediments, although its role in the production of optically active chromophoric DOM (CDOM) and a subset of fluorescent DOM (FDOM) has not been previously investigated in detail.
