Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical drivers of aquatic biogeochemical processes, with dissolved organic matter (DOM) serving as a primary photosensitive source of ROS in natural waters. Despite their importance, the specific characteristics of DOM in shallow lakes across varying trophic states, as well as their net ROS photogeneration potential, remain poorly understood.
