杭州湾南岸滨海盐沼碳库的季节性变化

滨海盐沼的碳库变化可为蓝碳碳汇核算提供依据。为量化短时间尺度(季节到年际尺度)内滨海盐沼碳库的固碳速率,基于高分辨率的地表高程监测系统,于2022年在杭州湾南岸典型滨海盐沼开展了季节性的观测和采样分析。研究结果表明,在观测期间,本地种海三棱藨草和外来种互花米草的生长呈现季节性变化特征,植物生长主要集中在3—9月。就植物碳库的地下部分而言,海三棱藨草固碳量达到11 g C·m^-2,互花米草盐沼则较高,为56 g C·m^-2。地表高程监测数据表明,海三棱藨草盐沼的沉积速率为12.30 cm·a^-1,略低于互花米草盐沼的沉积速率(13.02 cm·a^-1)。结合沉积速率与沉积物容重、有机碳含量等数据,可以算得观测期间,海三棱藨草盐沼沉积物碳埋藏速率为460 g C·m^-2·a^-1,互花米草盐沼沉积物碳埋藏速率为588 g C·m^-2·a^-1,这两种滨海湿地的碳埋藏速率也具有季节性,在夏、秋季达到高值。结合植物碳库和沉积...     

植被演替对杭州湾南岸盐沼物质循环的影响

本研究选择杭州湾庵东浅滩作为研究区,选取盐沼区三个不同植被带进行柱状样的采集,通过测量沉积物的粒度、沉积速率、碳氮含量(有机碳、总碳、总氮、碳氮比)等参数,系统分析研究区盐沼湿地植被演替对盐沼物质循环产生的影响。研究结果发现,不同植被覆盖下沉积物粒径差异显著,沿海向陆逐渐变细;沉积速率从海三棱藨草滩、互花米草滩、植被交错区依次递减;总碳、总氮、有机碳含量特征为互花米草滩植被交错区海三棱藨草滩,碳氮比介于6～9,有机碳以海源物质为主;通过计算,发现有机碳埋藏速率为互花米草[159 g/(m2·a)]海三棱藨草[140 g/(m2·a)]植被交错区[119 g/(m2·a)]。从整体上来看,杭州湾南岸盐沼从海三棱藨草群落向互花米草群落演替时,沉积物颗粒发生细化,沉积速率有所变化,而总碳、有机碳、总氮含量增加,盐沼有机碳埋藏速率增加。     

秋茄落叶分解失重过程的季节变化和滩面差异

秋茄红树林不同季节落叶分解失重速率研究表明:落叶的干重损失速率是夏>秋>春>冬。就失重过程而言,最高的失重速率和季节间最明显的分解速率差异都出现于分解初期,淋溶作用很可能是引起这一分解特征的重要原因。落叶在林地滩面外滩(中潮带).中滩和内滩(高潮蒂)分解28d时的失重率分别为53.4%、44.8%和48.9%,即外滩>内滩>中滩。中潮带比高潮带具有较高的潮浸频度和滩面潮湿度,使得落叶在中潮带的分解快于高潮带。     

潮间带盐沼植物黏附悬浮颗粒物的差异性研究

为了研究潮间带盐沼植物黏附悬浮颗粒物的差异性,在长江口选择了三种盐沼植物群落对它们黏附的颗粒物质量进行测定,结果表明:(1)植物群落距潮沟或光滩越近,生长位置的滩面高程越低,则黏附颗粒物越多,而在盐沼前缘单位滩地面积上植物黏附颗粒物的质量以1%~3%/m(单位水平距离)的速率从水体悬浮颗粒物含量相对较高的盐沼外缘光滩或潮沟向盐沼内部减小;(2)植物黏附的颗粒物量在垂向上从上到下急剧增大,通常在靠近滩面5~10 cm的部分植物的黏附量占植物黏附总量的三分之一以上;(3)相邻群落单位滩地面积的互花米草[(220.6±172.7)g/m2]的总黏附量明显多于芦苇[(64.9±38.1)g/m2]和海三棱藨草[(45.2±31.7)g/m2],而按单位生物量来说单位滩地面积上三种盐沼植物黏附的颗粒物以海三棱藨草最多[(150.5±134.8)g/kg],芦苇最少[(28.8±22.8)g/kg],互花米草介于两者之间[(57.5±32.9)g/kg];(4)海三棱藨草的黏附量在季节上差异性明显,秋初(9月)是春末(5月)的6倍,在冬季该植物消失,其黏附颗粒物的功能也消失。造成盐沼植物黏附悬浮颗粒物差异的根本原因是生物量、悬浮颗粒物含量和淹没条件(淹没的深度、时间、频率)的不同。     

两种米草(叶)的分解及其营养成分的初步研究

高生物量的米草植物枯死后分解成碎屑颗粒,成为河口、近海及海滩本身异养生物的食源。 作者采用尼龙袋法模拟自然条件下的分解过程,结果表明,低低滩的大米草(枯叶)年分解速度为90%左右;低滩的大米草(枯叶)在8个月内分解速度接近80%,相应的互花米草(枯叶)为76%。在分解过程中两种米草的残体(包括部分碎屑)蛋白质合量比原来枯叶的含量增加,最高可增加到200%以上;纤维素含量明显下降;粗灰分、碳水化合物和脂肪的含量与分解物所处不同高程而有明显差异。此外,还测定和比较了在不同风浪条件下生长的大米草地上部分和地下部分生物量以及地上部分枯死量的季节性变化。     

长江口崇明东滩不同植被带沉积速率研究

利用2007年丰水期、枯水期在崇明东滩芦苇带、藨草带和光滩采集的6根沉积物柱状样,研究了沉积物的粒度特征和过剩的210Pb和228Th及7Be活度的垂向分布特征,探讨了由陆地向海洋不同植被间的沉积物粒度变化规律。依据恒定比活度沉积速率模型,估算了不同时间尺度的崇明东滩芦苇带、藨草带和光滩的表观沉积速率。结果表明:3种核素示踪的崇明东滩的表观沉积速率都随潮滩植被的不同从陆到海方向逐渐降低,同时依过剩的210Pb和228Th,7Be的次序而增大。由过剩的210Pb和228Th计算的夏季沉积速率比冬季的稍高,而由7Be计算的夏季表观沉积速率则明显高于冬季的。结合沉积物粒度的时空分布和这些核素的大气通量,对利用这些核素测定潮滩沉积速率的影响因素进行了探讨。     

不同环境因子对海三棱藨草种子及球茎萌发影响的研究

海三棱藨草(Scirpus mariquete)是一个在滩涂潮间带原生裸地上首先定居的先锋种,是我国特有的盐沼植物。通过分析海三棱藨草种子和球茎的物理特性及室内正交试验研究其萌发的生物学特性,探究不同环境因子(温度、盐度、淹水深度)对该物种种子和球茎萌发的影响,本研究采用3因素5水平的正交试验进行探究,结果表明:海三棱藨草种子和球茎最佳萌发的环境因子组合均为温度为34℃、盐度为4‰、水深为0cm,最佳组合下种子发芽率为(81.82%±1.85%),显著(p0.05)低于球茎的(88.88%±2.31%);海三棱藨草种子萌发对温度有较广的适应性,18—42℃都可以萌发,26—34℃萌发率较高且无显著差异(p0.05);不同盐度下海三棱藨草种子的萌发率有较大的差异,海三棱藨草的种子在盐度为0—4‰的环境下发芽率最高。结论认为,影响海三棱藨草种子萌发的关键因素依次为盐度、温度和水深,影响海三棱藨草球茎的关键因素依次为盐度、水深和温度。海三棱藨草种子比球茎具有更强的耐环境胁迫能力,但是海三棱藨草球茎在最佳条件下比种子具有更高的发芽率。本研究为探究长江口湿地海三棱藨草退化的原因及其保护提供理论依据。     

互花米草入侵对漳江口红树林保护区的影响研究

文章根据2019年、2020年漳江口红树林保护区内互花米草、沉积物、潮间带底栖生物的调查结果,结合历史遥感影像资料分析互花米草的入侵过程。结果表明：漳江口红树林保护区互花米草高潮区株高略低于同潮区红树植物,亦低于中潮区互花米草株高,更倾向于向光滩扩张;研究区域互花米草区沉积物中总氮、硫化物和有机碳含量高于光滩,全盐含量低于光滩;根据研究区域的遥感影像分析,2011—2019年漳江口互花米草保持较高的速率扩张,2020年互花米草扩张进入稳定期;根据丰度生物量比较法,2020年互花米草区的潮间带底栖生物群落结构较2019年稳定。在研究互花米草入侵对滨海湿地的影响时,除了考虑调查方法、时空因素和样地互花米草入侵时间的长短外,还应考虑互花米草入侵的不同扩张时期。     

不同植被类型对福建三沙湾潮滩有机碳埋藏的影响

潮滩作为重要的湿地类型和高效的有机碳汇备受关注,近期围垦、养殖等人类活动和互花米草入侵对潮滩生化环境和有机碳埋藏产生了重要影响。本研究选取了福建三沙湾三处不同植被类型的潮滩各取得沉积物短柱样,测定沉积物的总有机碳含量(TOC)、稳定碳同位素(δ13C),结合210Pbex测试计算的沉积速率,估算了不同区域的有机碳埋藏通量(BC)。结果表明,互花米草阶段和红树林阶段TOC含量分别为0.67%和0.95%,比对应的光滩阶段分别提高了13.6%和26.7%,表明红树林对潮滩固碳效率的提升比互花米草更加显著。在两者的共同生长区域,随时间推移TOC含量显著下降,表明互花米草入侵挤占红树林生长空间之后,降低了潮滩的固碳效率。短柱样沉积物δ13C值分布范围在-24.70~-21.87‰,主要体现海源有机质同位素特征,但也会受潮滩植被生长类型影响。对各短柱样有机碳埋藏通量进行估算,得到研究区红树林生长阶段BC平均值为149.53 g/m2/yr,远高于互花米草生长阶段的平均值57.37 g/m2/yr。     

广西山口不同演替阶段红树植物叶茎根的生态化学计量特征

红树林是一种典型的湿地生态系统,研究其生态化学计量特征对了解不同演替阶段红树植物养分利用、分配以及环境适应策略具有重要意义。本文以广西山口红树林保护区由海向岸不同演替阶段的三种红树植物(白骨壤、秋茄和木榄)为研究对象,比较不同器官碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)以及沉积物中有机碳(sedimental organic carbon, SOC)、全氮(total nitrogen, TN)、全磷(total phosphorus,TP)的化学计量特征,分析三个演替阶段的红树植物不同器官和沉积物养分的生态化学计量特征。结果表明:C、N、P含量在三个演替阶段植物中均表现为叶、茎大于根(P<0.05),白骨壤叶和茎的N、P含量显著高于秋茄和木榄(P<0.05),不同演替阶段植物对于养分的利用策略不同,演替初期为竞争,演替后期为防御。相关性分析显示,秋茄茎与根中的P含量呈显著负相关(P<0.05),木榄叶与茎中的N含量、P含量均呈显著正相关(P<0.05),红树植物叶、茎的N、P含量与土壤SOC、TP以及C:N有显著的负相关性,随着由海向岸的群落演替,红树植物生长从N限制转为...     

Decomposition rate and invertebrate colonization of seagrass detritus along a hydrodynamic gradient in a Mediterranean coastal basin: The Stagnone di Marsala (Italy) case study

Seagrass leaf litter decomposition is a key component of marine carbon flow driven by both biotic and abiotic factors, including water movement. In this study, we analyse Posidonia oceanica litter decomposition and invertebrate colonization in three sites with different hydrodynamics in a coastal basin. Litterbags were put on the sea bed along a gradient of distance from the open sea, implying a different level of water exchange. Leaf litter mass loss and carbon and nitrogen concentration were analysed, and density and biomass of benthic invertebrates colonizing litterbags were recorded after 3, 7, 14, 47, 101, 152 and 221 days. Results showed that in the most sheltered site, the leaf litter decomposition rate, the invertebrate density and biomass and the detrital carbon release were the lowest. The reduction of the decomposition rates of seagrass leaves in the site characterized by low hydrodynamic forces may promote organic matter burial and carbon stocks, emphasizing the role of coastal basins such as ponds and lagoons as sinks of carbon and the important role of seagrass detritus in the Blue Carbon global balance.     

Response of early Ruppia cirrhosa litter breakdown to nutrient addition in a coastal lagoon affected by agricultural runoff

The response of early Ruppia cirrhosa Petagna (Grande) litter decomposition to external nitrogen and phosphorus availability in La Tancada (Ebro River, NE Spain), a coastal lagoon that receives agricultural freshwater runoff from rice fields has been examined. Recently abscised dead R. cirrhosa stems were collected and 25 g of fresh weight was placed in litter bags with a mesh size of 100 μm and 1 mm. These bags were fertilised by adding nitrogen (N), a mixture of nitrogen plus phosphorus (N + P), or phosphorus (P), or were left untreated (CT). Macroinvertebrates were retrieved from the bags and the ash-free dry weight, and carbon, and N and P content of the remaining plant material were measured after 0, 3, 7, 14, 22 and 32 days. Litter decomposition rates, k (day⁻¹), were estimated using a simple exponential model. Litter decay was clearly accelerated by the addition of P in the fine (100 μm) litter bags (0.042), but when N was added alone (0.0099) the decomposition rate was lower than in the CT treatments (0.022). No significant difference was observed between the N (0.0099–0.018) and N + P (0.0091–0.015) treatments in either the fine or the coarse (1 mm) litter bags. These results could be attributed to the relatively high availability of external (environmental) and internal (detritus contents) N. No significant effect of macro invertebrates was observed in the CT treatment or under N or P or N + P addition. The ratio between the decomposition rates in coarse and fine litter bags (k_c/k_f) was lower in disturbed Tancada lagoon (0.82) than in Cesine lagoon (2.11), a similar Mediterranean coastal water body with almost pristine conditions. These results indicate that, in addition to data on macroinvertebrate community structure, decomposition rates could also be used to assess water quality in coastal lagoons.     

大型海藻龙须菜凋落物分解对水质的影响

大型海藻龙须菜(Gracilaria lemaneiformis)规模栽培具有重要的经济和环境效益, 但藻体的凋落分解会对栽培区和邻近海域水环境造成一定影响。为探讨龙须菜凋落对水环境的影响, 本文通过45d的室内受控实验, 评估了龙须菜凋落分解过程中水体溶解氧和氮、磷的含量变化。结果发现, 干龙须菜实验组在实验期内水体溶解氧浓度显著降低(较对照组降低了82.81%); 水体氮、磷浓度显著提高, 总氮、总磷浓度较对照组分别上升了161.78%和759.93%。鲜龙须菜+海水+沉积物组在实验前中期(第0~21天)水体溶解氧浓度持续降低(较对照组降低了53.92%), 但在21d后又逐渐恢复至对照组水平; 其水体氮、磷浓度在实验中末期亦显著提高, 分解过程总氮、总磷浓度分别较对照组上升了36.65%和177.80%, 水体氮、磷变化曲线较干龙须菜组平缓且迟滞。鲜龙须菜凋落分解过程中的营养盐释放率低于干龙须菜, 沉积物对鲜龙须菜的分解及氮、磷和碳释放有促进作用, 但对干龙须菜的分解及氮、磷和碳释放有一定程度的减缓作用。龙须菜失重率、分解速率及营养盐释放率均呈现如下规律: 干龙须菜+海水组>干龙须菜+海水+沉积物组>鲜龙须菜+海水+沉积物组>鲜龙须菜+海水组。依据上述结果, 建议在龙须菜规模栽培和收获过程中应及时打捞脱落或衰老藻体, 尤其对已收获的大型海藻应妥善处理, 避免大型海藻腐烂而导致水体污染。     

Organic nitrogen and caloric content of detritus III. Effect on growth of a deposit-feeding polychaete, Capitella capitata

Laboratory experiments showed that individual growth rate of the deposit-feeding polychaete, Capitella capitata (type 1) can be predicted by rate of organic nitrogen supply (ration) of detritus to the animals. The rate at which detritus is available to a deposit-feeder, whether by sedimentation to the bottom, or decomposition of otherwise undigestable components via microbial activity, or production rate of microbes themselves, is important and not just the concentrations of limiting substrate of different detritus sources. Even so, the portion of total caloric content of the detritus that can be utilized by a deposit-feeder—approximated by the ‘available’ caloric content—also contributes to limiting growth. However, available caloric content usually is low when nitrogen content is low, as in the case of vascular plant detritus. Trophic transfer efficiency (net production/food supplied) is a measurement of food chain transfer that is usually calculated in carbon or caloric units. If one is interested in comparing energy or carbon flow in food chains, then use of these parameters is appropriate; if one is interested in comparing the efficiencies of different species, then calculations must be made using nutritional factors limiting growth.     

大叶藻的热值和元素含量(碳、氮、磷)及其相关性 *

提要:选取辽宁獐子岛近岸海域大叶藻样品,对其根系、根状茎和不同生长阶段叶片的灰分含量、热值和元素含量(碳、氮、磷)及其相关性进行研究,结果表明：在不同生长阶段,叶片长度随着生长顺序先增大后减小;灰分含量随着叶片生长逐渐升高,且极显著小于根状茎和根系(P<0.01);不同部位干质量热值差异极显著(P<0.01),以初生叶最高,为14894.36±40.25 Jg-1,后逐渐减小,在根系中最小,为8153.81±78.91 Jg-1;不同生长阶段叶片的去灰分热值差异不大,但大于根系和根状茎;碳氮磷含量均呈同一趋势：初生叶>幼叶>成熟叶1>成熟叶2>衰老叶>根状茎>根系;N/P比值为12.23,说明大叶藻存在N限制;N/P比值在根状茎中最大,根系中最小,这说明大叶藻存在能量的转移和存贮;大叶藻不同部位灰分含量与干质量热值、去灰分热值、碳含量、氮含量、磷含量之间呈极显著的负相关(P<0.01),干质量热值与碳含量、氮含量、磷含量之间呈极显著的正相关(P<0.01);大叶藻不同部位的热值与碳氮磷元素含量之间均呈显著的线性关系(P<0.05)。     

Biomass Production in PioneerSpartina anglicaPatches: Evidence for the Importance of Seston Particle Deposition

Salt marsh formation can be initiated by the colonization of bare tidal flats by pioneer halophytes such asSpartina anglica. In the present study, growth ofS. anglicain the edge and centre zones of pioneer patches colonizing a tidal flat in a marine bay in the south-west Netherlands was investigated. Average biomass and shoot length was significantly lower in centre zones than in edge zones of the patches. Multiple linear regression showed that 84% of the variance in aboveground biomass in the centre zones could be explained by sediment phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations. No such relationship existed in the edge zone. This suggests that biomass production in the centre zones of the patches is nutrient limited, but that factors other than sediment nitrogen and phosphorus content determine growth ofSpartinain the edge zones.The sediment nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the centre zones of the patches were significantly related with sediment carbon concentrations, indicating that the pool of particle-bound nutrients in the sediment to an important extent is associated with organic particles. Determination of stable carbon isotope signatures of the sedimentary organic matter showed that an increasing carbon content of the sediment in the centre zone of the patches (and a rise in plant biomass) coincides with a higher contribution of non-Spartinaderived carbon to the sedimentary organic matter pool. Sustained biomass production in the centre zones of the patches, thus, probably depends on deposition of allochthonous organic particles and the nutrient inputs inherent in this process. Due to the construction of large-scale hydro-engineering works, however, conditions for deposition of waterborne particles are currently unfavourable. The consequences of reduced carbon and nutrient inputs into the patches will be particularly in the (older) centre zones, where the nutrient pools in non-refractory organic matter have been drained in the years of previous growth. Accordingly, it is hypothesized that the canopy-enhanced sedimentation for whichSpartinais well- known, via positive feed-back effects on plant growth can be crucial for plant vitality, and, hence, for successful colonization of unvegetated areas.     

Differences in perception and reaction of tourist groups to beach marine debris that can influence a loss of tourism revenue in coastal areas

Marine debris is the most conspicuous pollutant that makes beaches aesthetically unappealing to users. The perceptions and reactions of beach users to stranded litter were compared between second-home owners and users (SHOU) and non-recurrent tourists (T). A questionnaire was applied to obtain socio-economic characteristics; assessment of the overall beach quality and perception of beach litter pollution (perception); hypothetical scenarios of marine litter pollution and deterrence (reaction); and potential alternative destinations in the case of deterrence (economic effect). Questionnaires (n = 319) were applied at two Brazilian subtropical beaches, with different physiographical settings (Pontal do Sul, PS, estuarine beach; Ipanema, I, open-ocean beach). Beach users’ groups differed regarding daily expenses (T > SHOU), period of permanence per trip (SHOU > T) and trip frequency (SHOU > T). The open-ocean beach (I) was rated the worst regarding overall beach quality. Marine debris generation was mainly attributed to local “beach users”, in the open-ocean beach (I). “Marine” (or non-local) sources were four times more frequently cited in the estuarine beach (PS). Perception on actual litter pollution and litter deterrence scenarios, did not vary between beaches or groups. More than 85% of beachgoers would avoid a beach visit if a worst scenario (> 15items/m²) occurred and most users would choose a neighboring state beach destination. Stranded litter may potentially reduce local tourism income by 39.1%, representing losses of up to US$ 8.5 million per year. These figures are proxies to support the trade-off local authority's make between investments to prevent/remove beach litter and the potential reduction in income from a tourist destination change.

海岸圈围对雁鸭类种群及生境的影响研究——以长江口横沙东滩为例

滨海湿地是雁鸭类的重要栖息地,然而高强度的海岸圈围工程对滨海湿地生态系统和鸟类栖息地造成了显著影响,因此分析和研究海岸圈围对雁鸭类种群及栖息地的影响,对水鸟保护和滨海湿地资源可持续利用具有重要的理论和实践意义。位于长江口的横沙东滩,于2003年启动了海岸圈围促淤工程,工程的实施导致湿地生境和水鸟种群都发生着快速变化。本研究分别对2013、2015、2016和2017年,横沙东滩雁鸭类种群和生境因子的时空变化进行了调查与分析,通过拟合回归分析了两者的相关关系,探讨海岸圈围后生境的快速变化对雁鸭类种群产生的影响,从而提出海岸带圈围后水鸟栖息地的保护与管理对策。结果表明:1)海岸圈围工程的实施显著改变了滨海湿地的水鸟生境及种群特征。随着工程的推进,自然潮滩的盐沼湿地呈动态变化趋势;促淤区则随着泥沙的补给,新生了大面积的沼泽湿地;成陆区逐渐向淡水生态系统演替。伴随着生境的变化,雁鸭类种群逐渐从成陆区和自然潮滩向促淤区转移。2)不同生境类型影响雁鸭类种群数量特征的生境因子不同。未实施圈围的自然潮滩影响雁鸭类数量的主要因素是海三棱藨草/藨草群落面积;正在实施圈围的促淤区的主要影响因素是挺水植物面积、植被归一化指数(NDVI)和无植被覆盖水域面积;已圈围的成陆区主要影响因素为沉水植物面积。综上,雁鸭类偏向选择具有开阔水域、充足食物供给和相对较低植被盖度的生境类型。对于海岸圈围区域,若能合理利用圈围土地,保留部分区域为湿地,并根据水鸟的生境需求,适当营造水鸟适宜的栖息地,可在一定程度上减缓圈围工程对水鸟的影响,实现滨海湿地水鸟栖息地保护和湿地资源可持续利用的动态平衡。
