2008年南黄海西部浒苔暴发区有机碳的分布特征及浮游植物的固碳强度

Distribution of Organic Carbon and Carbon Fixed Strength of Phytoplankton in Enteromorpha prolifera Outbreak Area of the Western South Yellow Sea,2008

根据2008-08-09～2008-08-13在南黄海西部绿潮(浒苔)暴发区取得的溶解有机碳(DOC)、颗粒有机碳(POC)和颗粒氮(PN)的分析数据,结合同步获得的水文环境要素资料,研究了该区域有机碳的分布特征、来源、影响因素以及浮游植物的固碳强度.结果表明,DOC的浓度范围为1.55～3.22mg/L,平均值为2.44mg/L;POC的浓度范围为0.11～0.68mg/L,平均值为0.27mg/L.DOC与POC的分布特征基本一致,呈现近岸高,外海低;表层高,底层低的趋势.POC与TSS的相关分析表明,POC与TSS整体上呈显著正相关,表明TSS的浓度和来源是控制POC浓度高低的重要因素.通过建立POC与PN的一元线性回归模型,估算了样品中PIN的含量.扣除样品中PIN的影响后,沿岸大部分海域POC/PON的平均值<8,结合POC/Chl-a比值,表明沿岸海域POC主要是海洋有机质来源,并且存在降解有机物,这可能是调查期间处于绿潮暴发后期,部分浒苔开始腐烂被降解所致.应用初级生产力估算的浮游植物固碳强度的结果表明,南黄海西部绿潮(浒苔)暴发区浮游植物的固碳强度变化范围为167～2017mg/(m2·d),平均为730mg/(m2·d),该区域日固碳量达到2.95×104t.换算至整个黄海,日固碳量为28.03×104t.

Based on the analysis of dissolved organic carbon（DOC）,particulate organic carbon（POC） and particulate nitrogen（PN） of the samples collected from stations in Enteromorpha prolifera outbreak area of the Western South Yellow Sea during the period August 9-13 of 2008,combining with the data of environmental hydrology,the horizontal distribution,source and influential factors of organic carbon and carbon fixed strength of phytoplankton were discussed.The results showed that the concentrations of DOC and POC ranged from 1.55 mg /L to 3.22 mg /L,0.11 mg /L to 0.68 mg /L,with average values of 2.44 mg /L and 0.27 mg /L.The horizontal distributions of DOC and POC were similar in study area.The concentrations of DOC and POC in coastal area were higher than that in the outer sea and the concentrations of DOC and POC at surface water layer were higher than those at the bottom water layer.There were a positive correlation between POC and TSS,indicating that the concentrations and source of TSS were main factors for the POC.According to the univariate linear regression model between POC and PN,the concentrations of particulate inorganic nitrogen（PIN） were evaluated.Removing the content of PIN in the samples,the average POC /PON values in most coastal waters were less than 8,combining with the values of POC /chlorophyll a,suggesting that the marine primary production were the important source of POC in most coastal waters,and the presence of degraded organic matter which derived from degraded Enteromorph prolifera was in the latter period of green tide outbreak.The results of evaluated carbon fixed strength based on primary productivity showed that carbon fixed strength of phytoplankton in Enteromorpha prolifera outbreak area of the Western South Yellow Sea ranged from 167 mg /（m2 ·d） to 2 017 mg /（m2 ·d）,with the average of 730 mg /（m2 ·d）.The daily carbon fixed quantities of the study area were up to 2.95 × 104 t.Then the daily carbon fixed quantities of the Yellow Sea were 28.03 × 104 t.
