长江口区浮游植物营养限制因子的研究 1. 秋季的营养限制情况

1998年11月在长江口及周围海域进行了一个航次的环境调查,并在室内以中肋骨条藻为实验藻种,应用营养加富生物测定法对本海域浮游植物的营养需求状况进行了研究．结果表明,可大致根据离河口的远近将此海域分为3个部分：近河口光限制区、过渡带光和磷酸盐限制区、远河口氮盐限制区．P与N分别为潜在营养限制因子的界线大致沿盐度为31的盐线．并指出,以溶解无机氮磷比的判断标准,在悬浮物浓度较高的区域会高估磷的限制作用．

长江口及邻近海域冬夏季浮游植物营养限制及其比较

2001年7月27日至8月11日,2002年1月8~19日在长江口及邻近海域进行了浮游植物限制因子测定的现场培养实验.结果显示:在近长江口透明度低于1 m的海域,冬季和夏季浮游植物的生长均受到光的限制.调查海域范围内夏季高浮游植物生物量海区主要集中在舟山渔场和长江口以北两个区域,盐度范围在28~31.冬季高浮游植物量海区向东南方向移动.夏季浮游植物的生长按照受限情况划分为4个区域:Ⅰ.近河口光限制区;Ⅱ.磷潜在的限制区;Ⅲ.氮、磷潜在限制过渡区;Ⅳ.氮潜在限制区.冬季划分为3个区域:Ⅰ.近河口浮游植物光限制区;Ⅱ.磷潜在限制区;Ⅲ.非营养潜在限制区.     

长江口区浮游植物营养限制因子的研究 Ⅱ.春季的营养限制情况

1999年5月在长江口及周围海域进行了环境调查,通过对该海域的浮游植物、叶绿素、营养盐、温度、盐度等进行分析,并结合现场实验和室内模拟实验,对本海域浮游植物的营养限制状况进行了研究.调查期间受冲淡水流量、流向和水体垂直分层的影响,冲淡水影响的范围和磷限制的范围相对于1998年11月均有所扩展.现场对26号站的加富实验直接证实了磷的限制作用;室内对26,41号站位的营养加富实验也均证实了磷限制的结论.根据浮游植物的需求和营养盐的补充情况,将该海区划分为:近河口区、冲淡区、台湾暖流影响区和黄海沿岸流影响区.本次调查处在春季水华的结束阶段,因而浮游植物的数量和种类数比1998年11月偏低.     

盐度和营养限制对盐田底栖硅藻披针舟形藻生长及胞外多糖产率的影响

从台南盐场藻垫中分离得到底栖硅藻披针舟形藻(Navicula lanceolata),该藻生长的最适盐度是1.6% NaCl.在最适盐度之上,随着盐度增大,藻细胞生长受到轻微抑制.氮磷营养限制条件下披针舟形藻生长受到严重抑制,氮营养限制比磷营养限制对藻生长的抑制作用更显著.高盐度和氮磷营养限制条件下,披针舟形藻胞外多糖(EPS)产率都明显增加,氮营养限制比磷营养限制对EPS产率的促进作用更显著.这表明在盐田高盐和氮磷营养限制条件下披针舟形藻产生更多的EPS,有利于藻垫的形成和稳定.     

中国近岸海域潜在性富营养化程度的评价

浮游植物的营养限制研究进展

近岸海域受人类影响较深 ,随着污染的加剧和富营养化程度的提高 ,浮游植物爆发而形成赤潮的频率和范围都在加大。深入地了解浮游植物与周围环境尤其是营养盐的相互关系 ,对探讨赤潮发生机制 ,促进海域生态环境的改善 ,具有理论上的指导意义。１对营养限制的理解对营养限制概念的定义有如下几种 :最早的是利比希最小因子定律（１８４０年）中指出的 :植物的生长取决于处在最小量状况的必需物质 ,这种物质就是限制因子。谢尔福德耐受性定律１９１１年认为 ,生物对各种环境因子的适应有一个生态学上的最小量和最大量 ,它们之间的幅度称为耐受限…     

海水营养状态的灰色关联评价模型及应用

基于计算海水营养状态评价指标的参考序列(u0)和其比较序列(ui)之间的关联度这一思路,建立了一种新的海水营养状态的灰色关联评价模型,并应用这个模型对2001年8月东海区10个主要河口、海湾的水体进行了营养状态评价,结果表明:应用灰色关联海水营养状态评价模型所进行的海水营养状态等级的评价和划分,与实际该区水体的营养状态有很好的吻合。同时,该模型在进行营养状态评价时,能避免人为的主观臆断,并能适应营养状态受PO4-P限制的中国主要近岸河口、海湾等特殊海域的要求,因而可以作为一种科学、实用的海水营养程度评价模型,推广应用于水质评价等研究领域和实际评价中。     

辽东湾北部海域夏季水质的综合评价

根据2001~2004年6月与8月调查资料,阐述了辽东湾海域水体各化学要素的空间分布规律,并对辽东湾北部海域夏季的综合水质状况,海域营养结构及营养水平进行了评价。结果表明:各化学要素的空间分布趋势基本为近岸高于远岸,主要的污染区域集中在大凌河口与双台子河口海域。主要的污染因子氮、锌、铅和油。2001~2004年间,2002年该海域为严重污染,其它年份为中污染;氮磷比率偏高并逐年上升;整个海域一直处于磷限制潜在性富营养状态。     

辽东湾北部海域营养状况与趋势评价

根据 1999-2006 年 6-8 月的调查数据,分析辽东湾北部海域的营养水平及变化趋势,以了解辽东湾北部海域营养水平的分布特点及污染状况.由 E 值和 CN/CP 值的总体评价结果来看,辽河口、双台子河口和大凌河口海域的富营养化程度较高,属于磷中等限制潜在性富营养区,而锦州湾海域污染相对较轻,属于中度营养区;在时空分布上,辽东湾北部海域 1999 年与 2006 年污染较为严重,中间年份污染相对较轻.针对辽东湾的具体环境用 CN/CP 值的评价模式更能揭示出营养盐限制对富营养化的影响.     

加拿大海盆北部营养盐限制作用研究

利用2008年夏季中国第三次北极科学考察获得的营养盐、叶绿素a、温度和盐度等数据资料,结合现场营养盐添加实验的结果讨论西北冰洋加拿大海盆北部营养盐对浮游植物生长的限制作用。结果表明:由于融冰水稀释作用,加拿大海盆B80站约20m深度存在较强的盐跃层,阻碍了水体上下混合。较低浓度的溶解无机氮(DIN)和硅酸盐(分别为0.31μmol/L和0.94μmol/L)以及严重偏离Redfield比值的N/P、N/Si比值(分别为0.42和0.32)表明加拿大海盆表层水体存在N和Si限制。根据现场营养盐加富实验各培养组叶绿素a浓度变化、营养盐吸收总量差异和浮游植物种群结构,进一步表明氮是北冰洋海盆首要限制营养盐,而Si则抑制了硅质生物的生长。同时,较小的硝酸盐半饱和常数(Ks)证明即使在营养盐充足的情况下北冰洋海盆浮游植物生长速率也处于较低水平。计算得到各培养组营养盐吸收比例(N/P比值)均大于Redfield比值,可能是培养实验过程中以微型、微微型浮游植物为主,硅藻等小型浮游植物为辅造成的。     

Phosphate limitation of phytoplankton growth in the Changjiang Estuary

Laboratory experiments of bioassay with Pltaeodaetytum tricornutum, Chatoceros didymus, Chaetoreros calcitraus and Heterogtoea sp. sampled from the Changjiang Estuary in spring and summer, 1986, indicated that both N and P limit phytoplankton growth in the medium with N : P ranged between 8-30, and N limits phytoplankton production in the medium with N: P<8, while P is the limitary nutrient in the N : P>30. Generally, N : P in the Changjiang Estuary waters is 2 times higher than Redfield ratio. The bioassay experiments with high N : P water samples collected from Changjiang Estuary show that phytoplankton production is limited by P. Phytopiankton appears to give priority to the uptake of P at all periods of time. And the optimum N:P for phytoplankton growth is determined to be 18.     

Nutrient limitation in two marine diatoms inhibits release of bromoform

Bromoform released from phytoplankton and kelp in the ocean is the largest known carrier of bromine to the atmosphere. The photoproducts of atmospheric bromoform catalyse ozone depletion. Laboratory investigations were conducted into the link between nutrient limitation and bromoform production using axenic cultures of two warm-water diatoms (Chaetoceros neogracile and Phaeodactylum tricornutum). During exponential growth the bromoform production was 2 000–3 000 nmol bromoform (g Chl a)?1 h?1, i.e. 10–100 times higher than earlier values for temperate and cold-water diatoms. Bromoform production decreased down to zero under CO2 and nitrate limitation for both species. These results suggest that the bromoform production could be directly related to bromoperoxidase activity (and irradiance) only during exponential growth, whereas compounds other than bromoform might be formed under nutrient limitation.     

Proteomic response of Phaeocystis globosa to nitrogen limitation

Phaeocystis globosa is an important unicellular eukaryotic alga that can also form colonies.P. globosa can cause massive harmful algal blooms and plays an important role in the global carbon or sulfur cycling. Thus far, the ecophysiology of P. globosa has been investigated by numerous studies.However, the proteomic response of P. globosa to nitrogen depletion remains largely unknown. We compared four protein preparation methods of P. globosa for two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE)(Urea/Triton ...     

Sporadic silicate limitation of phytoplankton productivity in the subarctic NE Pacific

A time series (1970–1980) of silicate concentrations in the surface mixed layer at Ocean Station P (OSP, 50°N, 145°W) in the subarctic NE Pacific Ocean in high-nutrient and low-chlorophyll (HNLC) waters shows nearly total depletion of silicate (<1 μmol kg⁻¹) in the summers of 1972, 1976 and 1979. From a mixed-layer model for the spring–summer period, we calculated silicate and nitrate utilization. The silicate utilization (ΔSiO₄) during the growing season displays large interannual variations, suggesting that diatom production would experience similar fluctuations. The years 1972 and 1979 had both high-silicate utilization (ΔSiO₄) and high-nitrate utilization (ΔNO₃). During these two high-production years, the lack of available silicate appeared to limit diatom production. For 1972 and 1979, the ratio of ΔSiO₄ to ΔNO₃ was 1.4 and 2.5, respectively. The 1979 ratio supports the conclusion that high-nutrient utilization in the mixed layer is dominated by diatoms. The 1972 ratio is consistent with the average value calculated from the time-series data and suggests that the high-nutrient utilization resulted from a combination of diatom and non-siliceous production. A time series of particle fluxes (1980–1994) collected in deep-moored sediment traps at OSP showed that the averaged monthly flux ratio of opal to particulate organic nitrogen (PON) remained constant except during two high-PON flux periods. These two periods occurred during the late summers of 1983 and 1993 when the PON flux was more than double the average. During these two high-PON flux periods a significant decrease in the opal to PON flux ratio occurred. If these high-PON fluxes were caused by increased diatom production, the composition and preservation of nitrogen in the sinking organic matter also must increase during these diatom blooms. In 1983, the high-PON flux period was associated with a high-opal flux but not in 1993. It appears that the two high-PON periods were driven by two different processes. In 1983, the high-PON and opal fluxes are consistent with increased diatom production, while in 1993, the high-PON flux and average opal flux suggest increased non-diatom production. The switch between high production of diatoms and high production by non-diatoms is consistent with the silicate and nitrate utilization, which also had years with both high silicate and nitrate utilization and years with only high-nitrate utilization.     

Modeling iron limitation of primary production in the coastal Gulf of Alaska

A lower trophic level NPZD ecosystem model with explicit iron limitation on nutrient uptake is coupled to a three-dimensional coastal ocean circulation model to investigate the regional ecosystem dynamics of the northwestern coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA). Iron limitation is included in the NPZD model by adding governing equations for two micro-nutrient compartments: dissolved iron and phytoplankton-associated iron. The model has separate budgets for nitrate (the limiting macro-nutrient in the standard NPZD model) and for iron, with iron limitation on nitrate uptake being imposed as a function of the local phytoplankton realized Fe:C ratio. While the ecosystem model represents a simple approximation of the complex lower trophic level ecosystem of the northwestern CGOA, simulated chlorophyll concentrations reproduce the main characteristics of the spring bloom, high shelf primary production, and “high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll” (HNLC) environment offshore. Over the 1998–2004 period, model-data correlations based on spatially averaged, monthly mean chlorophyll concentrations are on average 0.7, with values as high as 0.9 and as low as 0.5 for individual years. The model also provides insight on the importance of micro- and macro-nutrient limitation on the shelf and offshore, with the shelfbreak region acting as a transition zone where both nitrate and iron availability significantly impact phytoplankton growth. Overall, the relative simplicity of the ecosystem model provides a useful platform to perform long-term simulations to investigate the seasonal and interannual CGOA ecosystem variability, as well as to conduct sensitivity studies to evaluate the robustness of simulated fields to ecosystem model parameterization and forcing. The ability of the model to differentiate between nitrate-limited, and iron-limited growth conditions, and to identify their spatial and temporal occurrences, is also a first step towards understanding the role of environmental gradients in shaping the complex CGOA phytoplankton community structure.     

台湾海峡浮游植物生长的营养盐限制研究

2004年7～8月,2005年7月及2006年8月分别在台湾海峡南部海区5个测站进行了浮游植物生长的营养盐限制船基培养实验.结果表明,在调查期间,夏季台湾海峡南部海区浮游植物营养盐的限制状态存在一定的时空差异,氮是浮游植物生长的主要限制因子,并与上升流的存在与否无关;磷的弱限制偶尔会发生,这与涌升水的N/P比值有关.而硅只有在近岸上升流区形成高氮和磷的补充情况下偶尔才会产生微弱限制.在陆架外缘区,浮游植物限制状态较稳定,表现为受N的限制为主导的N、P的共同限制,P限制相对较弱.
