海洋沉积物/颗粒物在生源要素循环中的作用及生态学功能

海洋沉积物/颗粒物是生源要素循环过程中的关键源与汇,沉积物/颗粒物一方面是海水生源要素的主要归宿,生源要素从溶解态经复杂的生物-化学过程转变为颗粒态,颗粒物质再沉降形成沉积物,另一方面,海洋沉积物/颗粒物经过微生物-浮游动物-底栖生物作用分解形成溶解态的生源要素,并释放到海水中再次被浮游植物利用,进入下一轮循环,所以,海洋沉积物/颗粒物具有异常重要的生态学功能。浮游植物是海水溶解态生源要素的利用者和海源颗粒态生源要素的初始形成者,浮游动物通过摄食浮游植物或其他有机颗粒物可释放出溶解态生源要素或形成更大的颗粒物,颗粒物沉降后形成的沉积物又通过底栖生物摄食-扰动-破碎等过程将颗粒生源要素释放进入水体参与再循环。生态系统不同类群的生物在颗粒生源要素的释放-沉降中所起的作用不同而又相互关联,其中浮游动物-底栖生物的摄食与代谢、微生物参与的分解过程起着非常重要的作用。所以,海洋沉积物/颗粒物生态学功能研究作为支撑海洋环境和资源的持续利用的科学基础,已成为海洋科学的前沿领域,必将获得跨越发展。

南海东北部海区的溶解有机碳

碳是生态系统中重要的生命元素之一。近年来,海洋学家们对海水中溶解有机质的研究已经引起了很大的注意。海水中总有机质的重要来源是海洋内部的生物学过程,包括浮游植物通过光合作用固定二氧化碳,浮游植物的直接分解,死细胞的溶解和部分矿化、海洋沉积物的再悬浮作用和河流以及大气将陆源有机质搬入海洋等。这些溶解有机物很快被异氧生物(主要是微生物)所利用,可能也有不到10％的溶解有机质变成大分子量的络合物混进难溶的残质中沉到海底。目前,一般采用有机碳的测定     

海水中腐殖质对溶解态铁的络合及其影响因素

腐殖质(humic substances,简称HS)是地表普遍存在的天然有机物,对海洋中重要的微量营养元素-铁(Fe)的分布及生物地球化学循环具有重要的影响作用。本文对腐殖质的来源、分布及对海水中溶解态铁的迁移转化的影响做了总结,特别论述了其在河口及沿岸水域的行为。大量研究表明河口、沿岸及开放海水中溶解态铁分布的变化可以用腐殖质的浓度及其铁结合能力的变化来解释。腐殖质的络合作用不仅能够阻止溶解态铁(DFe)在河口、沿岸等水域被去除,而且能够通过洋流将DFe迁移至外海及大洋区域,此外还能增加铁的溶解度及对海水中浮游植物的生物可利用性,并且促进铁的氧化还原循环。研究还发现两者之间的络合强度受到盐度、pH等理化因素的影响。盐度是影响HS与DFe配合能力的重要影响因素,盐度增加,导致HS中可以与Fe配合的位点数量降低,配合总量呈现指数降低,而pH的增加可以增加HS与DFe的配合量。另外HS还能影响海水中DFe的氧化还原,并以此影响浮游植物对DFe的吸收利用。因此腐殖质对溶解态铁的有机络合作用是影响其海洋生物地球化学循环的一个重要参数,对进一步研究海水中腐殖质的浓度和分布具有重要的意义。

海洋细菌作用下海水中铬化学形态的转化

于外加Cr(Ⅳ)和Cr(Ⅲ)的天然海水中接种海洋细菌,充氧条件下培养。在细菌对数生长期,大部分Cr(Ⅳ)被还原为Cr(Ⅲ)继而转化为有机铬。在稳定期,有机铬为溶解铬的主要形态,在无菌控制实验中,Cr(Ⅳ)和Cr(Ⅲ)浓度基本不随培养时间变化。说明在没有海洋细菌活动参与下,水中铬形态转化难以进行。实验结果为天然海水中溶解态铬的热力学不平衡状态提供部分可能的解释。     

海水成分知多少

正海水是一种化学成分非常复杂的混合溶液,为什么海中能有大量动植物生存?海水的成分是关键!首先,海水中有溶解的气体存在,其中最重要的就是溶解于海水中的分子态氧——溶解氧。溶解氧是海洋生命活动中不可缺少的物质,主要来源于大气和浮游植物的光合作用。水中溶解氧的含量与大气压力、水温以及含盐量等因素有关。大气压力越大、水温越低、盐度越小,则溶解氧含量越高,反之则越低。在浮游生物生长繁殖的海域,表层海水的溶解氧含量不但昼夜不同,而且因季节而异,加上海流等因素的影响,使海洋中的溶解氧具有明显的垂直分布和区域分布特征。     

痕量金属元素与营养水平对科威特海岸浮游植物的影响

油溢、工业排放以及污水处理场处理过的污水进入海洋已经成为最近海洋污染的主要污染源。浮游植物是鱼与高等有机生物的主要食物，它从海水中吸附大量的溶解有机物，因此，浮游植物对各种污染非常敏感，如烃、原油与工业废水等。Barbeau(1996)、Behrenfeld(1996)、La—Roche等(1996)已经对浮游植物中Fe的毒性进行了研究。

荧光淬灭剂TrueBlack Lipofuscin对珊瑚自体荧光的消除及其在免疫荧光标记中的应用

自体荧光是生物体内部组织成分在吸收光时自然发出的荧光,会影响人工标记荧光的有效识别,严重干扰对抗体标记的目的蛋白荧光的观察及数据分析,在珊瑚冰冻切片免疫荧光标记研究中尤为突显。为更有效地去除珊瑚组织切片中的自体荧光,本研究以共生模式种花伞软珊瑚（Xenia sp.）为研究对象,首次尝试在花伞软珊瑚冰冻切片免疫荧光染色中,使用一种在小鼠和人体组织切片中常用的TrueBlack Lipofuscin自体荧光淬灭剂,并与已有研究中的酒精梯度脱水法进行比较。结果表明,使用荧光淬灭剂TrueBlack Lipofuscin后,花伞软珊瑚组织切片中的自体荧光强度是传统的酒精梯度脱水法的52.4%,且在Cy5通道下效果最佳。同时,通过珊瑚免疫荧光标记实验表明使用TrueBlack Lipofuscin的实验组特异性荧光信号强度为对照组的205.3%,背景荧光和自体荧光基本去除。     

Photobleaching of fluorescence and the organic carbon concentration in a coastal environment

In order to investigate the photobleaching potential of estuarine waters from different depths and redox conditions and with varying degree of biological activity, filtered, unfiltered and chloroform-poisoned water samples from the Baltic Sea were exposed to ambient sunlight. Fluorescence, at excitation 350 nm and emission 450 nm, was used as an indication of humic substance concentration. Fluorescence and organic carbon concentration were measured at regular time intervals during light exposure. We found that the decrease in humic substance fluorescence can be fitted to an exponential decay function. The fluorescence half-lives were within the range 0.4 – 4.6 days in different water masses, with fluorescence decreasing to between 20% and 60% of initial concentration, respectively. Results from the curve fitting procedure indicate a rest concentration of humic substance fluorescence, similar among the sampled sites, that is resistant to further photochemical degradation. The largest relative decreases in fluorescence were found in deep waters, but samples from deep waters also had a higher fluorescence rest concentration than samples from surface waters. Biological activity was reduced by filtering the samples through 0.2μm pore size filters or adding chloroform. No statistically significant differences were found after 3 days of irradiation between samples with and without treatment to reduce biological activity. The highest initial fluorescence values and the largest fluorescence decrease were found in the anoxic waters of the Gotland Deep. The organic carbon concentrations decreased 3–7% at all stations. The shortest half-life of humic substance, and the largest decrease in organic carbon concentrations, were found in samples from the northern basins of the Baltic Sea.

浊度对活体叶绿素荧光检测的影响及修正方法

本文研究了泥沙悬浮液浊度对叶绿素荧光计测定水样中活体叶绿素荧光的影响。结果表明,浊度产生的荧光效应和遮蔽效应对活体叶绿素荧光测定具有显著影响。在100 NTU浊度范围内,浊度会导致荧光效应使活体叶绿素荧光值测量结果随着浊度的增大而增大,并构成良好的线性关系;实际测定水体中硅藻的活体叶绿素荧光值时,泥沙悬浮液的浊度会导致遮蔽效应使活体叶绿素荧光值测量结果随着浊度的增大而减小,水体中硅藻质量浓度越高遮蔽效应越显著,在1 000 mV(约10 μg/L)硅藻质量浓度,100 NTU浊度条件下,浊度遮蔽效应可导致活体叶绿素荧光值偏低20%。根据近海泥沙实验数据,本文提出了一种活体叶绿素荧光检测的浊度影响修正方法,在100 NTU浊度内,修正后叶绿素荧光值偏差率都下降到±10%以内,校准后的荧光值与真实叶绿素荧光值较为接近。     

Characterization of dissolved organic matter fluorescence in the South Atlantic Bight with use of PARAFAC model: Interannual variability

Systematic water sampling for characterization of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the coastal South Atlantic Bight, was conducted as part of the long term Coastal Ocean Research and Monitoring Program (CORMP). Water samples were collected during a 3.5 year period, from October 2001 until March 2005, in the vicinity of the Cape Fear River (CFR) outlet and in adjacent Onslow Bay (OB). During this study there were two divergent hydrological and meteorological conditions in the CFR drainage area: a severe drought in 2002, followed by the very wet year of 2003. CDOM was characterized optically by the absorption coefficient at 350 nm, the spectral slope coefficient (S), and by Excitation Emission Matrix (EEM) fluorescence. Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) was used to assess CDOM composition from EEM spectra and six components were identified: three terrestrial humic-like components, one marine humic-like component and two protein-like components. Terrestrial humic-like components contributed most to dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluorescence in the low salinity plume of the CFR. The contribution of terrestrial humic-like components to DOM fluorescence in OB was much smaller than in the CFR plume area. Protein-like components contributed significantly to DOM fluorescence in the coastal ocean of OB and they dominated DOM fluorescence in the Gulf Stream waters. Hydrological conditions during the observation period significantly impacted both concentration and composition of CDOM found in the estuary and coastal ocean. In the CFR plume, there was an order of magnitude difference in CDOM absorption and fluorescence intensity between samples collected during the drought compared to the wet period. During the drought, CDOM in the CFR plume was composed of equal proportions of terrestrial humic-like components (ca. 60% of the total fluorescence intensity) with a significant contribution of proteinaceous substances (ca. 20% of the total fluorescence). During high river flow, CDOM was composed mostly of humic substances (nearly 75% of total fluorescence) with minor contributions by proteinaceous substances. The impact of changes in fresh water discharge patterns on CDOM concentration and composition was also observed in OB, though to a lesser degree.     

Ship-of-opportunity based phycocyanin fluorescence monitoring of the filamentous cyanobacteria bloom dynamics in the Baltic Sea

Distribution of cyanobacteria cannot be evaluated using chlorophyll a (Chla) in vivo fluorescence, as most of their Chla is located in non-fluorescing photosystem I. Phycobilin fluorescence, in turn, is noted as a useful tool in the detection of cyanobacterial blooms. We applied phycocyanin (PC) fluorometer in the monitoring of the filamentous cyanobacterial bloom in the Baltic Sea. For the bloom forming filamentous cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and Nodularia spumigena, PC fluorescence maximum was identified using the excitation–emission fluorescence matrix. Consequently, the optical setup of our instrument was noted to be appropriate for the detection of PC, and with minor or no interference from Chla and phycoerythrin fluorescence, respectively.During summer 2005, the instrument was installed on a ferryboat commuting between Helsinki (Finland) and Travemünde (Germany), and data were collected during 32 transects providing altogether 200 000 fluorescence records. PC in vivo fluorescence was compared with Chla in vivo fluorescence and turbidity measured simultaneously, and with Chla concentration and biomass of the bloom forming filamentous cyanobacteria determined from discrete water samples.PC fluorescence showed a linear relation to the biomass of the bloom forming filamentous cyanobacteria, and the other sources of PC fluorescence are considered minor in the open Baltic Sea. Estimated by PC fluorescence, cyanobacterial bloom initiated late June at the Northern Baltic Proper, rapidly extended to the central Baltic Proper and the Gulf of Finland, and peaked in the mid-July with values up to 10 mg l⁻¹ (fresh weight). In late July, bloom vanished in most areas.During single transects, or for the whole summer, the variability in Chla concentrations was explained more by PC fluorescence than by Chla fluorescence. Thus, filamentous cyanobacteria dominated the overall variability in phytoplankton biomass. Consequently, we show that during the cyanobacterial blooms, the estimation of Chla concentration using only Chla in vivo fluorescence is not applicable, but PC in vivo fluorescence is required as a predictor as well.     

Surface layer variability in the Ross Sea,Antarctica as assessed by in situ fluorescence measurements

Phytoplankton fluorescence, temperature and salinity were measured from December through February using in situ instruments deployed at two locations in the southern Ross Sea, Antarctica during the austral summers of three consecutive years (2003–2004, 2004–2005, and 2005–2006) to assess the short-term, seasonal and interannual variations in phytoplankton biomass and oceanographic conditions. The seasonal climatologies of physical forcing variables were also determined from satellite measurements, and the data from the two sites compared to the 2000–2009 mean. In situ fluorometers were deployed at three depths at 77°S, 172.7°E and 77.5°S, 180°. Significant differences between the two sites were consistently observed, confirming the anticipated high level of spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Chlorophyll fluorescence was maximal in late December, and generally decreased rapidly to modest levels in January and February. However, during 1 year (2003–2004) a secondary bloom was found, with summer maxima being similar to those observed during spring. Fluorescence displayed a strong diel cycle, with strong quenching during periods of maximum irradiance. The magnitude of this reduction was large (the minimum average fluorescence was 25% of the daily mean) and decreased with depth. Fluorescence varied interannually, with the absolute levels and temporal patterns being different among years. The two sites had different temperature/salinity properties as measured at 24 m, and both variables changed with time. During 2004–2005 we were able to continuously measure the photosynthetic quantum efficiency of PSII (F_v/F_m) at 11 m, which revealed a minimum in December, and an increase in January, whereas the absolute fluorescence (F_o) decreased simultaneously. We suggest that this reflected a mixing event, whereby available irradiance increased, allowing a short period of growth in a more favorable optical environment. While substantial variations from the mean physical forcing were observed, the linkage of these physical variations with fluorescence was not always clear. Short-term (over 24-h) changes in fluorescence occurred, and were likely related to advective events. Wind events altered fluorescence in the surface layer, and these redistributed phytoplankton in the surface. The variability in chlorophyll fluorescence and physical forcing over a variety of scales in the Ross Sea provides insights into temporal–spatial coupling of phytoplankton.
