Conservation and management of organic carbon (OC) pools in aquatic regions are vital for enhancing carbon sequestration. However, whether the influence of nutrient-driven dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition on OC dynamics is convergent or divergent across aquatic systems remains unclear. This study selected 124 sediment sites from rivers, reservoirs, and offshore areas to investigate the relationships between DOM components, OC fractions, and environmental parameters.
