黄河下游营养盐浓度、入海通量月变化及“人造洪峰”的影响

于2009年至2011年在黄河下游采集溶解及颗粒态营养盐样品,分析了黄河下游各形态营养盐的浓度变化及营养盐入海通量,结果表明各形态氮的浓度多呈丰水期低、枯水期高,溶解无机氮是溶解态氮的主要存在形式;受黄河高悬浮颗粒物含量的影响,磷以颗粒态占绝对优势,而溶解态磷以溶解无机磷为主要存在形态;生物硅的含量平均约占硅酸盐与生物硅之和的20％,硅的浓度丰水期高于枯水期.颗粒态磷与生物硅的含量与悬浮颗粒物含量呈正相关.营养盐的组成具有高氮磷比、高硅磷比、低硅氮比的特点.近年来黄河下游溶解无机氮浓度显著升高而溶解无机磷变化不大,硅酸盐的浓度有所下降.黄河下游水沙通量、营养盐入海通量有明显的季节变化,丰水期占全年总入海通量的42％～84％.调水调沙期间,各营养盐的浓度和组成均有明显变化,氮的浓度、DIN/PO4-P下降,磷与硅的浓度、SiO3-Si/DIN、SiO3-Si/PO4-P升高,颗粒态营养盐的比例明显增加.短期内大量水沙及营养盐入海通量对黄河口及渤海生态系统产生重要影响.

胶州湾海水营养盐的分布及潜在性富营养化研究

根据2009年5、8、10月胶州湾海区3个航次海水营养盐的调查资料,分析了该海区海水营养盐的分布特征和时空变化,利用潜在富营养化评价模式评价水质营养状况。结果表明,溶解无机氮、活性磷酸盐以及活性硅酸盐的年均含量分别为0.335、0.028和0.725 mg/L,NO3-N是DIN的主要组成部分,占溶解无机氮含量的71.6%;8月营养盐含量高于5月和10月,营养盐的空间分布从东部河口区和北部养殖区两个高含量区向湾中心和湾口呈逐步递减之势;DIN∶P,Si∶DIN和Si∶P的比值年平均分别为53.9,2.03和57.7,活性磷酸盐为限制因素,胶州湾海域处于磷中等限制-磷限制潜在性富营养化,楼山河口和李村河口为中度营养-富营养,一旦有外界磷大量输入可能发生赤潮。

莱州湾西南部海域及其毗邻河流水体营养盐的分布特征及长期变化趋势

根据2012年9月对莱州湾西南部海域及其毗邻10条河流的调查结果,以及近30年来关于莱州湾海域表层水营养盐的调查资料,报道了各条河流和近海海域的营养盐状况及该海域营养盐的长期变化趋势,结果表明:(1)10条主要调查河流的总溶解态氮(TDN)平均含量在1.82~10.66mg/L之间,其中有8条河流超过河流总氮劣五类水质标准,6条河流硝态氮(NO3-N)含量高于氨氮(NH4-N)。(2)所调查的5个近海断面中小清河口近海断面、虞河口近海断面及溢洪河口近海断面的DIN平均含量超过海水无机氮第四类水质标准;除小清河口近海断面外其余近海断面活性磷(PO4-P)含量均属一类海水水质。(3)部分断面营养盐含量在河口混合区淡水端升高,可能与咸淡水混合动力作用相关;莱州湾西部区域营养盐含量高于南部区域,南部的堤河氮、磷含量极高;原油开采活动可能是影响附近水体中营养盐含量及形态的重要因素。(4)从20世纪80年代初至90年代中期,莱州湾表层水无机氮平均含量经历了由低到高的变化,到90年代后期已属劣四类海水水质;无机磷平均含量在该时段呈降低趋势,但到90年代后期也保持在较高水平,随后又波动下降。(5)所调查的莱州湾近海区域整体处于磷限制潜在富营养状态;氮磷摩尔比(N∶P)在所考察的大部分时段内高于Redfield阈值(16),净营养盐收支呈磷减少而氮增加的总体变化趋势,近年来磷限制程度有所减缓。

本文利用三维水动力和盐扩散方程,计算厦门湾九龙江河口区的盐度时空分布,并利用监测调查所得到的盐度与无机氮、活性磷酸盐的经验关系,对厦门九龙江河口区的无机氮、活性磷酸盐的三维时空分布进行计算,对监测站位的计算值和实测值进行的比较和分析,结果说明在潮周变化尺度,物理混合及扩散对无机氮、活性磷酸盐的分布起主要作用.     

未来黄、东海营养盐浓度变化情景预测

本文基于FGOALS(Flexible Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System model)对未来气候情景的预测结果,结合千年生态评估的未来两个情景下的河流营养盐载荷特征,利用黄、东海水动力模型和生态模型并采用降尺度的方法对未来黄、东海营养盐的分布特征进行情景预测。结果表明,两个情景下未来河口邻近海区营养盐浓度将显著增加,富营养化加剧;GO(Global Orchestration)情景下,河流无机氮载荷增幅较大,夏季黄海中部无机氮浓度明显升高;AM(Adapting mosaic)情景下,由于河流无机磷载荷增幅较大,海区氮磷比有所下降,夏季黄海中部表层无机氮浓度降低,而在底层升高。通过敏感性实验并结合收支分析对各海区水动力条件未来变化、河流载荷变化的相对贡献进行了评估:相对于水温和水动力环境改变,河流营养盐排放量的增长是未来营养盐浓度增加的主要原因。营养盐收支分析表明,未来对流和混合输运的变化有助于黄海营养盐浓度的增加,夏季生物量升高造成更多碎屑沉降并在底层矿化使得层化季节冷水团底部营养盐浓度增长;长江口邻近海区营养盐浓度增长主要受冲淡水羽流的影响;净初级生产增加加剧了营养盐的消耗。     

广西近海营养盐的时空分布特征

利用2006～2007年4个航次的大面调查数据,分析讨论了广西近海4个季节营养盐的时空分布变化特征。结果表明,该海域在春、夏、秋三季,活性硅酸盐和溶解无机氮分布趋势是近岸高,远岸低,由北向南呈梯度快速递减,高值区主要出现在廉州湾、铁山港和茅尾海三个区域;夏季磷酸盐在雷州半岛与涠洲岛之间出现高值;冬季3类营养盐在调查海区内分布均匀且为一年最低值。对该海区营养盐结构分析表明,硅在该海区过剩,溶解无机氮基本能满足浮游植物的生长需要,但在春季溶解无机氮和磷浓度都较低,属于寡营养型;夏季该海区磷浓度充足,在秋冬两季磷为该海区的限制性元素。     

胶州湾营养盐的长期变化及其生态效应

依据改革开放40 a来胶州湾营养盐状况历史资料以及2018—2019年的现场调查,对胶州湾营养盐历史变化过程及其生态效应进行了系统分析。结果表明:营养盐的浓度变化大致以2008年为分界节点,在2008年前胶州湾溶解无机氮(DIN)浓度呈现持续上升趋势,而溶解无机磷(DIP)、活性硅酸盐(DSi)浓度则先略有减少后快速增加;2008年后胶州湾3种营养盐浓度均快速减少。营养盐限制状况由20世纪80年代初期的氮限制、20世纪90年代的硅限制转变为目前的磷限制。胶州湾Chl a年均质量浓度一直在3μg·L^-1上下波动但近年来则呈下降趋势,浮游动物生物量1994年后大幅度增加。分析发现,入湾营养盐通量的增加和海域面积缩小是2008年前胶州湾营养盐浓度增加的主要原因,而近十几年来胶州湾环境综合整治措施的大力实施则是氮、磷营养盐浓度减少的主要原因。2010年以前贝类养殖是控制胶州湾浮游植物生物量的主要因素,但近年来溶解无机磷浓度的减少和浮游动物生物量的增加是Chl a质量浓度呈下降趋势的主要原因。     

珠江口夏季水体中的氮和磷

根据1999年7月17～28日于珠江口现场调查和实验的资料,研究夏季水体中氮、磷的分布、形态变化和初级生产力的限制因素.结果表明该海域氮含量高,N/P属于世界上高值区之一.从河口向外海运输过程中,氮和磷的形态和浓度均有剧烈的变化.虽然氮在中途中有新源的补充;但由于外海水的入侵稀释、生物吸收和形态变化的迁移作用,NO₃-和可溶无机氮的浓度总的变化趋势仍是随盐度增大而大幅度地降低,以至珠江口外出现N/P低于16.由于夏季水体层化稳定,在表、底层其生物地球化学变化方向相反,PO₄3的浓度变化互成镜像关系并可按盐度分为3段不同特征的反应区.初级生产力的限制因素在大部分区域是磷,但从口门至最大浑浊带和口外区则分别是浊度(或光照)及可溶无机氮.现场培养实验再现了真光层和底层氮和磷的生物地球化学过程差异并表明磷的循环和再生比氮迅速;在可溶无机氮浓度大且高N/P的海域,磷的再生可成为水华的引发因素,而氮被耗尽却是水华消亡的原因.总体上夏季该区水体氮的迁出率比磷高.于水体层化稳定的区域,氮和磷的生物地球化学作用在真光层以浮游生物吸收占优势、在下层以有机物的降解和可溶无机态的再生为主,当层化消失、上下水体充分混合则可完成循环.     

Influences of Nutrient Outwelling from the Mangrove Swamp on the Distribution of Phytoplankton in the Matang Mangrove Estuary, Malaysia

Distributions of dissolved nutrients and Chl. a were investigated in the Sangga Besar River Estuary in the well-managed Matang Mangrove Forest in West Malaysia. In the estuary, spring tide concentrations of ammonium, silicate and phosphate were higher than those in the neap tide, which suggests that these nutrients are flushed from the mangrove area by the inundation and tidal mixing of the spring tide. Ammonium comprised over 50% of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen in the spring tide, while nitrite tended to dominate in the neap tide, indicating the predominance of nitrification inside the estuary in neap tides. Nutrient concentrations in the creek water were higher than those of estuarine water, indicating the nutrient outwelling from the mangrove swamp and ammonium regeneration from mangrove litter in the creek sediments. The maximum concentration of Chl. a in spring tides reached 80 g/l while it was below 20 g/l in the neap tides. These variations in the phytoplankton biomass and nutrients probably reflect the greater nutrient availability in the spring tide due to outwelling from the mangrove swamp and creek.     

闽江河口咸淡水混合过程中营养盐含量的变化特征

为研究闽江水体营养盐等物质的输运作用,于2009年11月(秋季),分3个航段(北支、南支及闽江河口区)同步对闽江下游及其河口区表、底层水的盐度、营养盐、悬浮物含量等进行观测,并在北支流、南支流交汇处的19站(罗星塔附近)进行了一个潮周期的连续观测.调查期间闽江表层水体中无机氮含量变化范围在0.640～3.873 mg/dm3之间,平均值为1.789 mg/dm3;活性磷酸盐含量变化范围在0.011～0.059 mg/dm3之间,平均值为0.027 mg/dm3;可溶性硅酸盐含量变化范围在0.82～7.10 mg/dm3之间,平均值为3.77 mg/dm3;总氮含量变化范围在0.67～3.91 mg/dm3之间,平均值为2.39 mg/dm3;总磷含量变化范围在0.027～0.289 mg/dm3之间,平均值为0.087mg/dm3.水体各营养盐含量的平面分布呈闽江北支流的含量均高于南支流,其高值区受陆源输入的影响集中出现在21～23号站区间.受城市污水影响的北支流水体与南支流水体交汇后,近海河段水体营养盐含量迅速降低.在一个潮周期内,涨潮时,随着外海水占比的提高,营养盐含量呈现随着盐度升高而逐步降低的趋势;在退潮时,陆源冲淡水的作用逐渐加强,营养盐在河口表现为随着盐度降低而逐步增高的趋势.闽江河口水体活性磷酸盐含量与盐度没有显著的相关性,为非保守要素;而无机氮、可溶性硅酸盐和总氮整体表现为保守要素.同时,发现在闽江河口盐楔端浊度最大值的"滤器"滞留区,总氮含量受其富集的影响在底层产生一个高值区.     

Nutrient concentrations and fluxes in the Changjiang Estuary during summer

In June 2003 and 2006 concentrations of nutrient were determined in the Changjiang Estuary. The data indicated that phosphate and nitrate did not behave conservatively in the estuary, but silicate behaved conservatively. An important mobilization of phosphate and nitrate was observed from the river up to halfway in the estuary. Both input flux (from river to estuary) and output flux (from estuary to coastal zone) of phosphate, silicate and nitrate were calculated from statistical interpretations of the salinity profiles. There was a large discrepancy between input and output fluxes of phosphate and nitrate. The river fluxes of silicate, phosphate and nitrate (f_r) are augmented 5.3%, 28.9% and 36.6% in June 2003 and 1.0%, 62.5%, 31.7% in June 2006 by internal inputs (f_i). The phosphate and nitrate fluxes are enhanced through the estuarine process, while silicate flux is unaltered. The authors present some long-term data for nutrient concentrations and the ratios of silicon to nitrogen to phosphorus in the Changjiang Estuary. Silicate level falled in the last two decades, while concentration of nitrate increased. Phosphate concentration had no significant change.     

南海北部神狐海域营养盐浓度与结构的分布特征及影响因素

生源要素是海洋初级生产的基础，其在海洋环境中的循环受到多种物理、化学和生物过程的影响，对其浓度分布、结构特点及影响因素的认识是理解海洋生态系统动力学的基础。于2019年2月在南海北部神狐海域进行了现场考察和海水样品采集，对海水中的溶解态无机营养盐浓度进行了分析，并结合温度、盐度、叶绿素a(Chl a)、pH和溶解氧(DO)等水文环境参数，研究了神狐海域海水中营养盐浓度与结构的分布特征及影响因素等。在0～30 m的海水中各营养盐浓度均很低，随着深度的增加，营养盐浓度逐渐增大。在水深3 000 m左右处，无机氮、磷酸盐和硅酸盐浓度分别达到了38.02 μmol/L、2.71 μmol/L和149.07 μmol/L。温度、pH和DO与各营养盐浓度均具有显著的相关性，表明环境因素影响着营养盐的生物地球化学过程。此外，在75 m深度，研究区域东北方向的站位营养盐浓度相对较低，并呈现向西南方向逐渐增大的变化趋势，可能与高温、高盐和低营养盐的黑潮水入侵有关。根据端元混合模型计算所得保守混合浓度与实测值的差值显示，在75 m深度硅酸盐和磷酸盐以生物消耗为主，而硝酸盐存在添加。随磷酸盐浓度增加，各站位无机氮浓度呈线性升高，但硅酸盐浓度则以幂函数式升高，表明不同营养盐之间再生速率和再利用效率有所不同。神狐海域的N/P比与Si/N比和Si/P比呈现出截然相反的变化趋势。在0～30 m，N/P比较小而Si/N比和Si/P比较大；在75 m，受不同生物作用影响，N/P比变大，Si/N比和Si/P比变小；在75 m以下N/P比逐渐降低至14.44，而Si/N比和Si/P比则逐渐升高；在1 000 m以下，各营养盐比例均保持稳定。氮异常指数的计算结果显示，神狐海域300 m以上的海水中固氮作用强于反硝化作用，而300 m以下反硝化作用增强。神狐海域营养盐浓度与结构的分布特征表明黑潮入侵和生物活动显著影响了此区域营养盐的生物地球化学过程。     

The effect of a tidal cycle on the dynamics of nutrients in a tidal estuary in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan

A 24 hour time series survey was carried out during a spring tide (tidal range ca.2 m) of May 1995 on a tidal estuary in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, in the context of an integrated program planned to quantify the dynamics of biophilic elements (carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus) and the roles played by the macrobenthos on the processes. Three stations were set along a transect line of about 1.4 km, which linked the river to the rear to the innermost part of the subtidal zone. Every hour, at each station, measurements were made of surface water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen concentration, and surface water was collected for the determination of nutrients [NH₄ ⁺−N, (NO₃ ⁻+NO₂ ⁻)−N, PO₄ ³⁻−P and Si (OH)₄−Si]. During the ebb flow, riverine input of silicate and nitrate+nitrite significantly increased the concentrations of both the intertidal and the subtidal stations. Conversely, during the high tide, river nutrient concentrations were lowered by the mixing of fresh water with sea water. As a result, best (inverse) correlations were found at the river station for salinity against silicate (y=-2.9 Sal.+110.7,r ²=0.879) and nitrate+nitrite (y=-1.3 Sal.+48.4,r ²=0.796). In contrast, ammonium nitrogen concentrations were higher at intermediate salinities. Indeed, no significant correlation was found between salinity and ammonium. The effect of the macrobenthos, which is abundant on the intertidal flat, is discussed as a biological component that influences the processes of nutrient regeneration within the estuary. The effect of the tidal amplitude is an important one in determining the extent of the variations in nutrient concentrations at all three stations, which were stronger between the lower low tide and the higher high tide.     

Cultural eutrophication in the Changjiang (Yangtze River) plume: History and perspective

The Changjiang (Yangtze River) is known to contribute significantly to the eutrophication that has caused drastic changes to the ecosystem of the East China Sea. However, evidence for historical changes in nutrient concentrations and composition and the consequent effects on the ecosystem in the coastal water is sparse. In this paper we present some long-term data for nutrient concentrations and Si:N:P ratios in the freshwater and the river plume and the long-term response of the ecosystem structure in the river plume. These data reveal increases in the dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphate concentrations in the Changjiang freshwater by a factor of five from the1960s to the end of the 1990s and a reduction in dissolved silicate by two thirds over the same period. Concomitantly, an increase in DIN concentration and a reduction in silicate concentration both by a factor of two were observed in the surface water of the Changjiang plume. As an ecological consequence to such nutrient changes, the chlorophyll a concentration increased by a factor of four since the 1980s and harmful algal blooms increased rapidly since 1985 in the Changjiang estuary and adjacent sea areas. The macrozoobenthic biomass decreased sharply from the mid 1980s to the present, suggesting that the Changjiang estuary has been in a high eutrophication state since that time. We predict that, due to the continuously increasing nutrient pressure, the symptoms of eutrophication associated with nutrients will worsen in the Changjiang plume in the near future.     

Factors controlling excess radium in the Nakdong River estuary,Korea: submarine groundwater discharge versus desorption from riverine particles

The activities of naturally occurring radium isotopes (²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra) in estuarine water were measured downstream of the dam constructed in the Nakdong River, Korea. The sampling of surface waters for radium, silicate, and suspended solid (SS) analyses was conducted at 18 stations during three periods (July 1997, April 1998, and June 1999). In general, radium activities exceeded the value expected from the mixing of two freshwater and seawater endmembers. We characterized the responses of Ra and Si according to three different conditions: (1) when the freshwater discharge and the water level of the dam relative to the sea level at low tide were lower (April 1998), the excess Ra and Si contents were lower in the estuary; (2) when the fresh water discharge was larger following heavy precipitation (July 1997), both excess Ra and Si contents were higher in the estuary with conservative mixing of Si; and (3) when the water level of the dam relative to the sea level at low tide was highest under low freshwater discharge (June 1999), high excess Ra but low Si levels were observed. The occurrence of high Ra activity in June 1999 was likely due to the large submarine brackish groundwater discharge downstream of the estuary. Since brackish groundwater in general contains high concentrations of nutrients, Ba, Ra, etc, our result suggests an important role for the submarine groundwater discharge on the biogeochemistry of estuarine/coastal waters, especially when the water level of the dam (hydraulic head) is high.     

九龙江河口区海水水质模糊综合评价

根据九龙江河口区2011—2018年的监测数据,分析了该海域海水中无机氮(inorganic nitrogen, DIN)、活性磷酸盐(active phosphate, DIP)、化学耗氧量(chemical oxygen demand, COD)和石油类含量的年际变化趋势和平面分布特征,并应用模糊综合评价法对九龙江河口区的水质进行了评价。结果表明,2011—2018年,九龙江河口区DIN和DIP年均含量呈现先增加后降低趋势,COD年均含量呈现逐年下降趋势,而石油类年均含量总体呈波动变化趋势;DIN、DIP、COD和石油类均受九龙江径流输入的影响,含量平面分布大部分呈现西南部高于东北部的特征。模糊综合评价显示九龙江河口区水质为Ⅳ类水,主要污染物是DIN和DIP。水质综合评分值逐年变大,表明水质开始出现好转趋势。     

Behavior of organically-bound iron in seawater of estuaries

Behaviors of organically-bound iron in an estuary having normal primary production and in a red tide outbreak estuary were investigated. In the former, the iron complex decreases with increasing salinity because of its flocculation. In the latter, the iron complex as well as nutrients except silicate are completely assimilated by phytoplankton. Among nutrients silicate diffuses by only water mixing because the main species of phytoplankton were green colored algae at the river mouth. High nitrite concentration was found at about 15‰ salinity. This means that the decomposition of phytoplankton as well as photosynthesis is also carried out. The iron complex assimilated would be released to seawater with the decomposition of phytoplankton and then red tide outbreaks at the estuary would be continued for a long period.     

High nutrient pulses, tidal mixing and biological response in a small California estuary: Variability in nutrient concentrations from decadal to hourly time scales

Elkhorn Slough is a small estuary in Central California, where nutrient inputs are dominated by runoff from agricultural row crops, a golf course, and residential development. We examined the variability in nutrient concentrations from decadal to hourly time scales in Elkhorn Slough to compare forcing by physical and biological factors. Hourly data were collected using in situ nitrate analyzers and water quality data sondes, and two decades of monthly monitoring data were analyzed. Nutrient concentrations increased from the mid 1970s to 1990s as pastures and woodlands were converted to row crops and population increased in the watershed. Climatic variability was also a significant factor controlling interannual nutrient variability, with higher nutrient concentrations during wet than drought years. Elkhorn Slough has a Mediterranean climate with dry and rainy seasons. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentrations were relatively low (10–70 μmol L⁻¹) during the dry season and high (20–160 μmol L⁻¹) during the rainy season. Dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations showed the inverse pattern, with higher concentrations during the dry season. Pulsed runoff events were a consistent feature controlling nitrate concentrations during the rainy season. Peak nitrate concentrations lagged runoff events by 1 to 6 days. Tidal exchange with Monterey Bay was also an important process controlling nutrient concentrations, particularly near the mouth of the Slough. Biological processes had the greatest effect on nitrate concentrations during the dry season and were less important during the rainy season. While primary production was enhanced by nutrient pulses, chlorophyll a concentrations were not. We believe that the generally weak biological response compared to the strong physical forcing in Elkhorn Slough occurred because the short residence time and tidal mixing rapidly diluted nutrient pulses.
