Background Insight into temporal–spatial variations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions were undertaken to trace potential factors toward a further understanding aquatic environment in Lake Shahu, a brackish-water lake in northwest China, using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) combined with principal component analysis (PCA), second derivative and canonical correlation analysis (CCA). Result Five fluorescence peaks were extracted from SFS by PCA, including tyrosine-like fluorescence (TYLF), tryptophan-like fluorescence (TRLF), microbial humic-like fluorescence (MHLF), fulvic-like fluorescence (FLF), and humic-like fluorescence (HLF), whose relative contents were obtained by second derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. The increasing order of total fluorescence components contents was July (11,789.38 ± 12,752.61) &lt; April (12,667.58 ± 15,246.91) &lt; November (19,748.87 ± 17,192.13), which was attributed to tremendous enhancement in TYLF content from April (1615.56 ± 258.56) to November (5631.96 ± 634.82). The PLF (the sum of TYLF and TRLF) dominated the fluorescence components, whose proportion was 40.55, 37.09, or 46.91% in April, July, or November. DOM fractions in November were distinguished from April and July, which could be attributed to that water of the Yellow River was continuously loaded into the lake as water replenishment from April to September. From the replenishment period to non-replenishment, the contents of the five components gradually changed from low in the middle and high around the lake to high throughout entire lake. Based on the CCA results, the potential factors included TYLF, TRLF, MHLF, SD, and BOD 5  in April, which were relative to organic matter pollution. The potential factors contained TYLF, TRLF, FLF, Chl-a, TP, COD Cr , and DO in July, indicating the enrichment of TP lead algae and plants growth. The potential factors in November consisted of TYLF, TRLF, COD Cr , SD, TN, and FLF, representing residue of the algae and plants have been deeply degraded. Conclusion The replenishment of water led to enrichment of TP, resulting in growth of algae and plants, and was the key factor of water quality fluctuations. This work provided a workflow from perspective of DOM to reveal causes of water quality fluctuations in a brackish-water lake and may be applied to other types of waterbodies.
