Front. Environ. Sci. 13:1675720. doi: 10.3389/fenvs.2025.1675720 Graphical Abstract

Diagram illustrating site-specific and depth-specific dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition changes. It features four soil types: Peat, Peaty Gleysol, Podzol, and Cambisol, each with processes like anaerobic preservation and microbial processing. Depth-specific changes are shown with arrows, indicating how shared compounds' abundance alters with depth. The right side shows surface water flow.

There was a mistake in the graphical abstract as published. The labels Cambisol and Podzol were reversed in the figure. The corrected graphical abstract appears below.
