Abstract

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a significant role in the carbon cycling of all types of ponds. Optical characteristics of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were examined between two different kinds of ponds ecosystem (freshwater pond and brackish water pond) in every month for one annual cycle [pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons] in Indian Sundarbans. Present study is the first research regarding the CDOM optical properties of the pond ecosystem in the Indian Sundarbans Delta. Annual data set demonstrates that there is a rise of CDOM value in both ponds during monsoon as compared to other seasons. The water salinity was found much higher in Pond B (brackish water) than Pond A (freshwater) throughout the annual period of sampling but the chl-a value was higher in Pond A than Pond B. The present study revealed that the CDOM of both types of ponds is allochthonous in the Indian Sundarban, except for post-monsoon season in the freshwater pond. The strong negative relationship between CDOM and salinity described the conservative nature of CDOM in the brackish water pond but non-conservative behavior in the freshwater pond.
