These species have ambiguous source origins; thus quantifying PM<sub>2.5</sub> sources with high source sectors is difficult. In this study, online measurements of major chemical components, elemental tracers, as well as organic molecular markers were applied in a PMF model to investigate the differences between the major chemical components-based PMF (MCC) and organic molecular markers-based PMF (OMM) methods in terms of source identification, source separation, and source quantification. The results showed that with the input of organic molecular markers (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fatty acids, dicarboxylic acids, hydroxyl-dicarboxylic acids, C<sub>9</sub> acids, and phthalic acid), the OMM method greatly enlarged the number of source factors identified. Further, industry emission, shipping emission, dust, vehicle emission, biomass burning, secondary nitrate, and secondary sulfate; two primary source factors (coal combustion and cooking emission); and four secondary organic aerosol (SOA) source factors were also resolved in the OMM method. Comparing with the source profiles resolved by the MCC method, we found that OC/EC mass ratios in OMM-resolved source profiles of industry emission, vehicle emission, biomass burning, and coal combustion were closer to those obtained from emission inventories. In terms of source quantification, the mass contributions of vehicle emission and biomass burning resolved by the MCC method were notably higher than those resolved by the OMM method, especially under high O<sub>3</sub> concentrations (> 120 μg·m<sup>-3</sup>). This suggests that without the input of specific organic molecular markers, the MCC method was inclined to apportion parts of secondary source contributions into primary sources (such as vehicle emission and biomass burning).

Currently, most studies on ecological restoration in Chinese coal mining areas are scattered across the major coal-producing provinces in the Yellow River Basin. Its effect on soil carbon sequestration at a basin scale must be crucially elucidated. In this study, we focused on changes in soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities after vegetation restoration using an integrated analysis method, combined with climate and soil characteristics in the Yellow River Basin's coal mining areas to reveal the major factors affecting soil carbon restoration. Our results showed that: ① Soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities were improved significantly after ecological restoration; however, some differences were present among different soil layers. ② Soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen, and alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen increased by 62.2%, 40.5%, and 36.0%, respectively, showing an overall increasing trend with increasing restoration years. From the perspective of vegetation type, mixed forest had the largest increment in SOC. ③ The increase in nitrogen and phosphorus content improved soil fertility and helped to increase soil carbon input from vegetation litter, thus promoting the restoration of the soil organic carbon pool.

The results showed that during the bloom season, the release of cyanobacterial-derived organic matter led to a significant increase in DOM concentration in Meiliang Bay and Gonghu Bay, which was mainly composed of protein components, such as tyrosine and tryptophan (>70%) with a lower aromaticity (SUVA<sub>254</sub>), molecular weight, and humification degree (HIX).
