EEM spectra were operationally divided into five regions as shown in Figure 2. Calculations were

preformed using the method developed by Chen et al. (2003). The volume (Fi) beneath region “i”

of the EEM can be calculated with i  I (exem )dex dem . For discrete data, it can be ex em

  I(  )  calculated with i   ex em ex em , in which ex is the excitation wavelength ex em

interval (taken as 5 nm), em is the emission wavelength interval (taken as 5 nm), and I(exem) is the fluorescence intensity at each excitation-emission wavelength pair. The cumulative volume

beneath the EEM (FT) was calculated as FT = SFi.
