  abstract = {{C}hromophoric dissolved organic matter ({CDOM}) fluorescence or absorption is often proposed as a rapid alternative to chemical methods for the estimation of bulk dissolved organic carbon ({DOC}) concentration in natural waters. {H}owever, the robustness of this method across a wide range of systems remains to be shown. {W}e measured {CDOM} fluorescence and {DOC} concentration in four tropical freshwater and coastal environments (estuary and coastal, tropical shallow lakes, water from the freshwater lens of two small islands, and soil leachates). {W}e found that although this method can provide an estimation of {DOC} concentration in sites with low variability in {DOC} and {CDOM} sources in systems where the variability of {DOC} and {CDOM} sources are high, this method should not be used as it will lead to errors in the estimation of the bulk {DOC} concentration.},
