ABSTRACT

24

In this study, Hetero two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (Hetero-2DCOS)

25

combined with PARAFAC was employed to reveal the inner changes in the Dissolved

26

organic matter (DOM) components derived from soil amended with seven different

27

composts. The dynamics of the four DOM components showed that the fluorescence

28

peaks in each component varied in different directions during mineralization. Structural

29

equation models (SEM) demonstrated that the compost amendments changed the

30

correlations of the total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and bacterial

31

community composition with DOM components and strengthened the cooperative

32

function related to DOM components’ transformation. The compost sources were

33

further ranked as CW (cabbage waste) > CM (chicken manure), DCM (dairy cattle

34

manure), TSW (tomato stem waste), P (peat) > MSW (municipal solid waste), SS

35

(sewage sludge) by Projection Pursuit Regression analysis (PPR). It is helpful to

36

improve the bioavailability of compost products in order to obtain composts with a

37

particular function.

INTRODUCTION

62

Different types of organic wastes can be minimized and stabilized through

63

composting which is considered as an environmentally friendly way.1-3. The organic

64

matter level and soil water-holding capacity can be significantly increased following

65

the addition of compost4-6. Meanwhile, the activity of soil microbial communities can

66

also be stimulated due to compost amendments7-9.

67

The transformation and stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural

68

soils of China are of vital importance10. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) have a crucial

69

role in soil ecosystems as a major source of carbon and nutrients11. Therefore, the

70

possible effects of compost on soil properties can be potentially characterized by DOM.

71

Thus, DOM is regarded as a good nutrient medium for microbial which is relatively

72

labile and good substrate growth12,13. Organic amendments such as compost can affect

73

the DOM level in soil. After the addition of compost, the DOM level in soil generally

74

increases first and then goes back to the background levels. DOM is a small fraction of

75

the total soil carbon. DOM is composed of humic acids, fulvic acids, proteins,

76

polysaccharides, and hydrophilic organic acids. It can indicate the microbial activity

77

during compost decomposing in soil14. DOM consists of humic acid, fulvic acids,

78

proteins, polysaccharides, and hydrophilic organic acids, and about 25%-50% of DOM

79

is humic acid and fulvic acids15.

80

In some studies, the nature of DOM from compost, municipal solid waste, and

81

plant residues was explored through Excitation-emission matrixes (EEMs) combined

82

with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) modeling16-18. Then, the environmental 4

83

dynamic of DOM was successfully evaluated using this thechnique19,20. Fluorescence

84

spectroscopy has been most commonly used to assess the properties of humic and fulvic

85

acids and the quality of organic matter in soil21,22. Fluorescence provides a chance to

86

explore the chemistry of a DOM fraction and its dynamic during the decomposition in

87

soil23.

88

Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) is widely regarded as well-

89

established spectrum analytical technique that provides considerable utility and benefits

90

in various spectroscopic studies24,25. Hetero-2DCOS is one of the powerful forms of

91

2DCOS analysis26. In particular, two sets of samples spectral data with different

92

variables but from the same perturbation conditions could be compared by this

93

technique. Given the analytical ability of 2DCOS, in this study, the amended time was

94

selected as the external perturbation to investigate the inner dynamics of DOM

95

PARAFAC components derived from compost-amended soil. From the response

96

patterns of the system, which were monitored by two different components under the

97

same perturbation, one can detect the sequence of the spectral peak changes during the

98

amendment process. Therefore, 2DCOS combined with EEM-PARAFAC can be

99

applied to characterize the DOM during the compost-amended soil process.

100

The soil quality and functioning may be potentially enhanced by the DOM form

101

the composts. To establish judicious management of the resources, in-depth chemical

102

properties of DOM origin from compost-amended soil should be illustrated. The

103

objectives of this study were to show that 2DCOS combined with EEM-PARAFAC is

104

a reliable method to characterize the fate of DOM during the compost-amended soil 5

105

process and to assess the amended properties of the fluorescence peaks. It is helpful for

106

precise fertilization to regulate the transformation of substances in composts to obtain

107

composts that present a particular function. Therefore, there is far-reaching significance

108

to revealing the inner changes in the DOM PARAFAC components derived from

109

compost-amended soil.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

112

Properties of soil and composting sample. In this study, the black soil (CK) from

113

Xiangfang Experimental Farm (Heilongjiang Province, China). The Shanghai

114

Songjiang Composting Plant provided seven types of trapezoidal piles which are

115

composed of CM, DCM, MSW, CW, TSW, P, and SS respectively. The properties of

116

soil and composting samples were the same as our previous study and the detail

117

information about them was provided in supplementary file (Text S2)27.

118

Mineralization experiment. The soil was added to the compost samples with 0%,

119

5%, 15%, and 30% volume ratio, and aerobically incubated at 25ºC for 50 days where

120

was kept the highest moisture content at 60% with distilled water. The design of the

121

mineralization experiment was the same as our previous study27 and the detail

122

information about it was provided in supplementary file (Text S2)

123

Extraction of DOM. DOM was extracted based on the procedure designed by

124

Said-Pullicino et al. (2007)9. Generally, Milli-Q water (with 1:10 of solid to water ratio,

125

w/v) was employed to extract the DOM in compost samples and the extraction was

126

conducted in a horizontal shaker at 25 ˚C for 24h. Milli-Q water was acquired from a 6

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 6 of 37

Page 7 of 37

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

127

Milli-Q water purification system (Millipore Corporation, Hayward, CA, USA)

128

operated at 18.2 MΩ·cm. The extractrs were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min.

129

After the centrifugation, the supernatants were filtered through a 0.45-μm membrane

130

filter.

131

Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis. Hitachi model F-7000 fluorescence

132

spectrophotometer (Hitachi High Technologies, Japan) was employed to acquire the

133

fluorescence spectrum of the DOM samples. All the samples were analyzed in a 1-cm

134

clear quartz cuvette at room temperature (20±2°C). Before the measurement, Milli-Q

135

water was used to dilute the samples to confirm the DOC contents below 20 mg L-1 to

136

avoid inner filter effects for fluorescence analysis. The slit widths of both the excitation

137

and emission monochromators were 5 nm, and the scan speed was 1200 nm min-1. In

138

addition, the EEM spectra were obtained by subsequently scanning the emissions

139

spectra from 250 to 600 nm by increasing the excitation wavelength from 200 to 550

140

nm. Roman Units (R.U.) was used to reported the fluorescence intensities. Besides, the

141

fluorescence spectrum of Milli- Q water was subtracted from the spectra of the DOM

142

samples to eliminate the influence of Rayleigh and Raman scattering28. The EEM

143

spectrum of Milli-Q water was plotted in the supporting information (Fig. S10).

144

Parallel factor analysis. 110 EEMs of DOM samples were input into the

145

PARAFAC analysis, and the MATLAB 2013a (Mathworks, Natick, MA) was

146

employed to carry out in the PARAFAC analysis using the DOMFluor toolbox

147

(http://www.models. life.ku.dk/) based on the procedure described by Stedmon and

148

Bro29. In the PARAFAC, the excitation wave-lengths of 200 to 220 nm were deleted 7

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

149

from all the EEM spectrum due to the random data fluctuations19. PARAFAC

150

statistically decomposes the three-way DOM data into individual fluorescence

151

components with regard to their spectral shape or number30. The model was run with

152

non-negativity constraints applied to each dimension29,31. An initial exploratory

153

analysis was performed in which outliers were considered. Two to six components were

154

tested for the EEMs. The determination of the number of components was primarily

155

based on the explained variance and core consistency of the PARAFAC analysis29.

156

Maximum fluorescence intensities (Fmax) (R.U.) was used to express the concentration

157

scores of the PARAFAC components.

158

2D correlation spectra analysis. The 2DCOS analysis was conducted on the 2D

159

Shige version 1.3 software which developed according to the theory of 2DCOS analysis

160

based on the detailed algorithm reported by Noda24. For the 2DCOS, a set of compost-

161

amended soil time-dependent PARAFAC components’ excitation loadings data was

162

obtained, and the 2DCOSs were produced based on the PARAFAC components

163

excitation loadings data using the incubation time as the external perturbation (Text

164

S1). For the hetero 2DCOS analysis, they were produced using the different PARAFAC

165

components’ excitation loading data.

166

DGGE and 16S rDNA sequences. The method for the DGGE and 16S rDNA

167

sequences analysis was based on our previous study. Detail procedures were shown in

168

supplementary file (Text S2).

169

Projection pursuit model. PPR model was employed analyze the compost

170

sources rank. Friedman and Stuetzle (1981) proposed PPR model which was based on 8

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

171

a nonlinear multivariate regression procedure32. The aim of this model was to project

172

high dimension data to a low-dimensional space, In the low-dimensional space,

173

intrinsic structural information could be found through this model33.

174

Structural equation models. SEM is an a priori approach. The casual

175

relationships between variables could be easily visualized through fitting data to the

176

model representing casual hypotheses. To confirm the overall goodness of fit for SEM,

177

several parameters were tested (such as non-significant chi-square test, high goodness-

178

of-fit index, and low root mean square errors of approximation). The P value in the non-

179

significant chi-square test should be larger than 0.0534. The GFI value in the high

180

goodness-of-fit index should be larger than 0.90. The RMSEA value should be less than

181

0.05.

182

Statistical analysis. The analytical data were subjected to one-way ANOVA using

183

Statistic 8.0 software. The structural equation models (SEM) were constructed using

184

the IBM SPSS AMOS 23.0 software. PARAFAC and PPR analysis was carried out

185

using MARLAB 2013a.

RESULTS

188

DOM characterization using PARAFAC analysis. During the 50 days of

189

incubation, the dynamics of the DOC concentrations derived from soil amended with

190

seven composts are shown in Fig.S1. The DOC concentrations were decreased in all

191

compost amendments throughout the entire incubation. The magnitudes of the DOC

192

concentrations are in the order 30% > 15% > 5% > CK (P < 0.01). In this study, 9

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

193

PARAFAC analysis was used to acquire more details about the DOM mineralization

194

characterization in the compost-amended soil. The PARAFAC model was based on the

195

explained variance and core consistency of PARAFAC analysis. The results of the

196

explained variance and core consistency of PARAFAC analysis at each sampling time

197

are presented in Table S2. Combined with the results of the explained variance and core

198

consistency, the results showed that four components were appropriate (Fig. S2 and S3;

199

Table S2). Thus, the EEMs of different sampling time could be successfully divided

200

into a four-component model using PARAFAC analysis (Fig. S4). In the PARAFAC

201

model, four components in each sampling time were detected for the dataset. However,

202

our results did not suggest that only four components were present in all samples. This

203

means that the existing components were present in the most of the compost-amended

204

soil samples. Certainly, other fluorescent materials certainly exist, but their weak

205

intensity made them difficulty to be distinguished from the noise. Thus, most of the

206

variation could be explained by these four PARAFAC components. Besides, Table S3

207

presented the EEM spectra of the identified PARAFAC components at each sampling

208

time. The determined PARAFAC were also compared with the similar DOM that other

209

researchers who modeled in various natural environments (Table S3).

210

Component 1 (C1) with maximum excitation/emission (Ex/Em) wavelength pair

211

centered at 230 (280)/345 nm was characterized by two fluorescence peaks, and its (Fig.

212

S4 and Table S3). This component was characterized as having tryptophan-like

213

component peak T1(C1) and peak T2(C1). The protein-like components are often used

214

as indicators of DOM lability and bacterial production35. Component 2 (C2) was also 10

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 10 of 37

Page 11 of 37

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

215

contained two peaks with maximum excitations at 250 and 340 nm, maximum

216

emissions were found in the EEMs at 414 nm (Fig. S4 and Table S3). However, the

217

peak at Ex/Em = 250/415 was weak in the initial incubation. This component was

218

characterized as a combination of the humic-like fluorescence components peak A1(C2)

219

and peak A2(C2). Component 3 (C3) showed a fluorescence peak at the

220

excitation/emission wavelength pair of 260/435 nm (Fig. S4 and Table S3), which was

221

characterized as a humic acid-like component peak B1. Furthermore, C3 also showed a

222

fluorescence shoulder peak (B2) at the excitation/emission wavelength pair of 295/435

223

nm. Component 4 (C4) showed excitations at 280 and 370 nm, with maximum

224

emissions at 470 nm (Fig. S4 and Table S3). This component was characterized as a

225

combination of the terrestrial humic-like peak Z1(C4) and the ubiquitous humic-like

226

peak Z2(C4) according to Coble36. The fluorescence components C3 and C4 were

227

similar to the components produced from biogeochemical processing (eg. microbial

228

oxidized components and humic-acid-like components). However, the DOM

229

components in soil were also characterized using PARAFAC analysis. The DOM in

230

CK was successfully divided into three components based on the explained variance

231

and core consistency from the PARAFAC analysis (Fig. S5).

232

To acquire more details characterization about the changes of DOM components

233

in compost-amended soil, the PARAFAC analysis can quantitative information of

234

DOM components in the studied samples37. The relative concentrations of the

235

PARAFAC components at each sampling time are shown in Fig. 1 and S6. As the

236

mineralization progresses, the relative concentration of each component is similar, 11

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

237

regardless of whether there is 5%, 15%, or 30% compost in the compost-amended soil.

238

The relative concentration of C1 and C3 presented decreasing trends, and those of C2

239

and C4 presented increasing trends.

240

The general 2DCOS analysis. To obtain further evolutionary information of

241

DOM in compost-amended soil, the general 2DCOS analysis was employed to analyze

242

the excitation loadings of the PARAFAC components with time as the external

243

perturbation. Fig S7 shows the synchronous and asynchronous 2DCOS maps of the

244

PARAFAC component fluorescent peaks, which were constructed based on the

245

excitation loading spectra of the fluorescent components from incubation time-

246

dependent samples. In addition, the rules for identifying peaks in 2DCOS maps are

247

detailed in Text S1. The intensity changes in the fluorescence peaks in these PARAFAC

248

components during incubation are shown in Table S4.

249

In the synchronous 2DCOS of component C1, peak T1(C1) was negatively

250

correlated with peak T2(C1) (Fig. S7 and Table 1). This revealed that the tryptophan-

251

like component peak T1(C1) and peak T2(C1) varied in different directions during the

252

incubation. In the asynchronous 2DCOS of component C1, a positive peak was found

253

between peak T1(C1) and peak T2(C1). Based on the Noda’s rule, the band variation

254

sequence with the compost’s amendment time follows the order peak T1(C1) → peak

255

T2(C1). This result indicated that, as a biodegradable component, peak T1(C1) in

256

component C1 was more easily biodegradable in compost-amended soil.

257

In the synchronous maps, a negative peak was observed between peak A1(C2) and

258

peak A2(C2), peak B1(C3) and peak B2(C3), and peak Z1(C4) and peak Z2(C4), 12

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 12 of 37

Page 13 of 37

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

259

suggesting the different directions of these two bands’ intensity changes (Fig. S7 and

260

Table 1). The results of the general 2DCOS synchronous maps show that the two peaks

261

in each component are in opposite directions, which is consistent with the results of

262

Table 1 and S5. In the synchronous and asynchronous maps, the variation of the humic-

263

like component peak A1(C2) was ahead of the humic-like component peak A2(C2), the

264

sequence of the peaks in component C3 follows the order peak B2(C3) → peak B1(C3)

265

and the sequence of the peaks in component C4 follows the order peak Z1(C4) → peak

266

Z2(C4).

267

Hetero-2DCOS Analysis. To investigate the evolution of the fluorescence peaks

268

in the incubation, hetero-2DCOS (between the excitation loadings of each component)

269

analysis was performed. Fig. 2 and Table 1 show the synchronous/asynchronous hetero-

270

2DCOS maps of the components in compost-amended soils.

271

The excitation loadings of C1 and C2 were employed to analyze the synchronous

272

and asynchronous spectra of the hetero-2DCOS (Fig. 2; Table 1). Remarkably, in the

273

synchronous hetero-2DCOS map, peak T1(C1) was negatively correlated with peak

274

A1(C2) but positively correlated with peak A2(C2). Peak T2(C1) was negatively

275

correlated with peak A2(C2) but was positively correlated with peak A1(C2). These

276

results indicated that peak T1(C1) and peak A2(C2) have similar fates and that peak

277

T2(C1) and peak A1(C2) have similar fates. In the asynchronous hetero-2DCOS map,

278

the changing sequence of peaks in components C1 and C2 in compost-amended soil

279

followed the order of peak A1(C2) → peak A2(C2) → peak T1(C1) → peakT2(C1).

280

The fluorescence response of the tryptophan-like component C1 occurred after the 13

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

281

spectral changes in the humic-like component C2.

282

The excitation loadings of C1 and C3, C1 and C4, C2 and C3, C2 and C4, and C3

283

and C4 were used to construct the synchronous and asynchronous maps (Fig. 2). In the

284

synchronous hetero-2DCOS map, peak T1(C1) and peak B2(C3), peak T2(C1) and

285

peak B1(C3), peak T1(C1) and peak Z2(C3), peak T2(C1) and peak Z1(C3), peak

286

A1(C2) and peak B1(C3), peak A2(C2) and peak B2(C3), peak A1(C2) and peak

287

Z1(C3), peak A2(C2) and peak Z2(C3), peak B1(C2) and peak Z1(C3), and peak B2(C2)

288

and peak Z2(C3) have the same basic fluorescent units during the incubation (Table 1).

289

In the asynchronous hetero-2DCOS map, the changing sequence of peaks in

290

components C1 and C3 in compost-amended soil followed the order peak B2(C3) →

291

peakT1(C1) → peak T2(C1) → peak B1(C3); in components C1 and C4, it followed

292

peak T1(C1) → peak T2(C1) → peak Z1(C4) → peak Z2(C4); in components C2

293

and C3, it followed peak B2(C3) → peak B1(C3) → peak A1(C2) → peak A2(C2);

294

in components C2 and C4, it followed peak A1(C2) → peak A2(C2) → peak Z1(C4)

295

→ peak Z2(C4); and components C3 and C4, it followed peak Z1(C4) → peak Z2(C4)

296

→ peak B2(C3) → peak B1(C3).

297

Bacterial community dynamics and diversity. The DGGE diagram showed the

298

bacteria communities observed through the whole incubation process (Fig. S8).

299

Twenty-two different dominant 16S rDNA gene fragments were isolated. These gene

300

fragments were identified as belonging to two domains: Proteobacteria and

301

Bacteroidetes (Table. S5). Most of the bands in the treatment were classified as

302

Proteobacteria. Soil microorganisms are involved in the decomposition of organic soil 14

matter and the formation of humus.

304

The diversity of bacteria was investigated according to the H′, and each treatment

305

had a significant difference compared with CK (Fig. S9). The dynamics of the bacteria

306

community were high before the primary stage and then decreased until the end of the

307

incubation. The maximum and minimum of the bacteria diversity index were found in

308

the CM treatment and P treatment.

309 310

DISCUSSION

311

Some studies showed that the soil physical properties and soil nutrient availability

312

can be improved through the application of mature composts to soil38,39. After being

313

amended with composts, the content and composition of the DOM components in soil

314

were significantly changed. From the results of the relative concentration of each DOM

315

component, the overall change in each component can be shown during incubation. C2

316

and C4 were accumulated, while components C1 and C3 were degraded during the 50

317

days of DOM mineralization (Fig. 1 and S6). In the initial stage of incubation, the

318

concentration of the protein-like component is significantly higher than any other

319

component. As the mineralization proceeds, the protein-like component is decomposed

320

by microbial organisms due to the formation and accumulation of the humic-like

321

component. These results indicated that the DOM components evolved during

322

incubation. However, the inner changes in the PARAFAC component cannot be given

323

because there are always two or more peaks in one fluorescent component. Based on

324

the analytical ability of 2DCOS, PARAFAC combined with 2DCOS was employed to 15

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

325

reveal the detailed evolutionary information of the DOM PARAFAC components.

326

The fate of DOM components can be concluded based on the synchronous and

327

asynchronous 2DCOS spectra (Figs. 2 and S7; Table 1), which were analyzed using the

328

excitation loadings of the fluorescence components. Summarizing the results of

329

2DCOS and the relative changes in fluorescence components, the intensities of the

330

fluorescence peaks T1(C1), A2(C2), B2(C3) and Z1(C4) decreased, but the intensities

331

of peaks T2(C1), A1(C2), B1(C3) and Z2(C4) increased during incubation (Table S4).

332

The fate of each component in the composts amended soil was plotted in Fig. 3. We

333

found that the increases in fluorescence peaks T2, A1 and B1 may be derived from Z1,

334

and the increase in fluorescence peak Z2 may be transformed from T1, A2 and B2.

335

These results revealed the characterization of the inner dynamic of the DOM

336

fluorescence components derived from the compost-amended soil. After the application

337

of composts to soil, the available organic compounds can be used by microorganisms

338

to synthesize enzymes, thereby accelerating soil native organic matter degradation40.

339

This study revealed that soil’s indigenous microbes can rapidly decompose complex

340

humic acids (Z1) with the formation of peaks T2, A1 and B1, and these peaks can also

341

exacerbate the microbial activity in the soil. Simultaneously, the decomposition product

342

of organic composts contains some precursors (such as polyphenols, nitrogen-

343

containing organic compounds (e.g., amino acids, peptides, etc.) and other mineralized

344

intermediate products), which can form the humic acid molecules (Z2). After the

345

compost is applied to soil, the mineralization and humification of soil DOM occur

346

simultaneously. 16

347

SEM is an a priori approach allowing for an intuitive graphical representation of

348

the complex networks relationships between variables17. This study constructed SEMs

349

to further test the causal relationships among the basic chemical characteristics, bacteria

350

community information and the PARAFAC components (Fig. 4). During

351

mineralization the changes and distribution of bacteria could be directly affected by the

352

physical–chemical parameters. To identify which of the chemical parameters might

353

affect the variation occurring in the key bacteria community is of great important to

354

improve humification. In the early stage of incubation, the TOC, TN and bacterial

355

community affected four components. During the whole mineralization period, the

356

TOC concentration has a direct impact on the transformation of the four fluorescence

357

components. Bacteria have direct impacts on the conversion of the C2, C3 and C4

358

fluorescence components. TN directly or indirectly affects the components through

359

bacteria.

360

In addition, in the early stage of mineralization, protein-like substances (C1) are

361

more affected by TOC and TN. This result indicated that with the progress of

362

mineralization, the simply constructed, and easily degradable organic substances such

363

as soluble sugars, organic acids, and starches could preferentially be used by

364

microorganisms. However, in the later stages of mineralization, the formation of the

365

humic acid-like substance (C4) with a complex structure is mainly affected by TN and

366

microbial bacteria, indicating that the organic nitrogen compounds can contribute to the

367

formation of the humic acid-like substance (C4). These results indicated that N is an

368

important factor that can influence the dynamic of DOM components. The organic 17

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

369

compost can improve the nutrient retention and fertilizer supply of soil27. Therefore,

370

based on the N containing and DOM conversions, the composts could be differentiated

371

for different applications. In this study, the high component C1 contains compost that

372

can be regarded as soil amendments that improve the fertility of poor soil. The high

373

humic-like components (C4) contain compost that can be applied to long-term

374

insurance for nutrient retention to improve soil structural properties.

375

Fluorescence parameters alone are unable to express the structural changes of

376

DOM. However, the PPR analysis could be regarded as a useful method to reveal the

377

structural changes of DOM form composts41. The humification of DOM was ranked

378

based on PPR model in seven compost-amended soils based on the Fmax values of C1,

379

C2, C3, and C4. Generally, the projection value was of positive relevance with the the

380

degree of humification. In CW, the humification degree of DOM was the highest. The

381

lowest humification degree of DOM presented in MSW and SS. The intermediate

382

humification degree of DOM presented in P, CM, DCM and TSW (Fig. 5). It would be

383

difficult to degrade for the DOM from the CW compost treatment with high degree of

384

humification through biological means after soil amendment. Thus, the higher

385

humification, results in lower bioavailability42. Besides, high humification composts

386

can be considered as long-term insurance for nutrient retention. To maintain the fertility

387

of soil, these kinds of composts can be sustainably applied to soil27.

388

DOM from compost products plays key roles in the dynamics of carbon and

389

nutrient and microbial activity in soil ecosystems43. In soil, DOM is an active chemical

390

composition, which can be directly used by microbes during the mineralization phase. 18

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 18 of 37

Page 19 of 37

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

391

The major source of microbial energy and nutrients comes from DOM. The microbial

392

activity in the application of organic compost was significantly higher than CK,

393

indicating that the compost directly supplements soil nutrients for microbial growth,

394

and complements a certain amount of microorganisms that are used in the soil. The

395

crucial process which leading the the bacterial communities changes could be expressed

396

by the clustered together samples collected in the same day. The bacterial communities

397

among different treatments presented significant differences in different stages,

398

indicating that the bacterial community composition presented significant differences

399

according to the different composts. During incubation, the bacterial community

400

composition of P, MSW and CW showed no significant difference, suggesting the

401

similar bacterial community composition was excited in P, MSW and CW, while the

402

bacterial communities of CM, DCM, SS and TSW were more dispersed among all

403

inoculated groups (Fig. S8 and S9). It could be regarded as an effective method to

404

control microbial communities through altering the N contents in composts and thereby

405

influence the DOM components in the whole incubation period.

406

In conclusion, the transformation among the four fluorescence components of

407

DOM can be regulated through their microhabitat, chemical factors and

408

microorganisms.

409

transformation of various organic components can be regulated to produce more stable

410

humic acid-like substances, improve soil fertility and reduce CO2 production.

411

Consequently, this regulating model can provide theoretical guidance for compost-

412

amended soil practical application management in the future.

Therefore,

the

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

413

In summary, the peaks in each DOM PARAFAC component varied in different

414

directions during the composts amendment process. The compost amendments altered

415

the correlation of the physical and chemical index (TOC, TN) bacterial community

416

composition with DOM components and improved the cooperative function related to

417

DOM component transformation during mineralization. PPR model ranked the compost

418

sources as CW > CM, DCM, TSW, P > MSW, SS based on their humification degree

419

in DOM. Thus, through regulating the transformation of substances in composts,

420

specific DOM component compositions that represent particular functional composts

421

can be obtained to help provide more precise fertilization.

the hypothesized causal relationships among different TOC, TN, bacterial community

635

compositions, and DOM PARAFAC components (C1, C2, C3 and C4). The arrows

636

depict causal relationships. The red lines indicate positive effects, and the black lines

637

indicate negative effects. The continuous and dashed arrows indicate significant and

638

insignificant relationships, respectively. The arrow widths are proportional to the r

639

values. The proportion of variance explained for each variable is denoted by an r2

640

values. The significance levels are indicated as follows: ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, and

641

∗∗∗P < 0.001.
