Carbon cycling in rivers is altered by the creation of impoundments through dam construction. This paper seeks to identify the source and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in both water and sediment in Lake Longjing by contrasting the optical characterization of DOM. By comparing the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, we show that the sediment (53.7 ± 16.6 mg/L) acts as a DOC source to the overlying water (23.1 ± 1.4 mg/L). The estimated DOC flux in the original reservoir region (88.3 mg m−2 d−1) is higher than that in the newly submerged region (26 mg m−2 d−1), whereas the latter has larger contribution to the DOC annual load because of its larger sediment area. Spectroscopic analysis suggested that pore waters had higher aromaticity and lower proportion of fresh DOM than those in surface waters and benthic overlying waters. Through Parallel Factor Analysis, four fluorescent components were identified, i.e., two terrestrial humic-like components, one protein-like, and one microbial humic-like. Spearman correlation and Non-Metric-Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) analysis manifested that fluorescent DOM in surface sediments is mainly contributed by autochthonous source, the others by allochthonous source. Due to the high sensitivity of the fluorescent intensity of the protein-like component, it is a useful indicator to reveal the changes of source of DOM.
