Abstract: In this experiment, different proportions of the cattle manure, tealeaf, herb and mushroom residues, were used as food for earthworm (Eisenia fetida) to study the growth of the earthworm. Then the characteristics and transformation of nutrient content and  threedimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence (3DEEM) of 〖JP〗dissolved organic matter (DOM) during vermistabilization were investigated by means of chemical and spectroscopic methods. The result showed that the mixture of different ratios of cattle manure with herb residue, and cattle manure with tealeaf were conducive to the growth of earthworm, while the materials compounded with mushroom residue inhibited the growth of earthworm. With the increasing time of verimcomposting, the pH in vermicompost tended to be circumneutral and weakly acidic, and there were increases in electrical conductivity, and the contents of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, available nitrogen, and available phosphorus, while the total potassium and available potassium increased first and then decreased, and the organic matter content decreased. 3DEEM and fluorescence regional integration  results indicated that, the fluorescence of proteinlike fluorescence peaks declined significantly, while the intensity of humiclike fluorescence peak increased significantly in DOM. Vermicomposting process might change the compositions of DOM with elevated concentrations of humic acid and fulvic acid in the organics. In all, this study suggested the suitability of 3DEEM for monitoring the organics transformation and assessing the maturity in the vermicomposting.
