东海特定海区表层沉积物中磷的形态、分布及其环境意义

对国家海洋局第二海洋研究所1998年5月调查过程中采集的长江口外东海特定海区表层沉积物综合运用了EDEX、ASPILA和李悦方法进行了系统的总磷及其磷赋存形态分析。把磷分为5种赋存形态：吸附态、铁结合态、钙结合态、碎屑态和有机态。同时，结合其他沉积物性质和化学组分以及海水环境特征，讨论了磷的地球化学特征及其环境意义。研究表明，表层沉积物中总磷(TP)、有机磷(0P)和铁结合态磷(Fe—P)的含量主要受控于物质来源；吸附态磷(Ad-P)与Fe—P和0P同属于沉积物中生物可利用磷范畴，其在沉积物中的循环主要与铁氧化物有关，钙结合态磷(Ca—P)主要来源于海洋浮游生物。     

三亚湾沉积物中磷释放的初步研究

利用现场调查和室内模拟试验的结果,探讨了三亚湾表层沉积物中磷的形态与磷释放的关系以及环境条件变化对该湾沉积物中磷释放的影响。结果表明,三亚湾海水总磷(TP)中以总溶解磷(TDP)为主,总溶解磷约占总磷61%,其余形态磷约占总磷30.7%。初步计算了三亚湾沉积物 海水界面间DIP、TDP和TP的扩散通量分别为15.31、64.99和330.50μmol·(m2·d)-1。沉积物总磷(PT)中以无机结合态磷(PIN)为主,无机结合态磷约占沉积物总磷70.7%,其余形态磷约占沉积物总磷33.3%。沉积物中磷释放取决于磷的形态,总磷、有机结合态磷(POR)和无机结合态磷在沉积物磷的释放中所起的作用较大,其余形态的磷所起的作用较小。温度、盐度和pH的变化对沉积物中磷释放均产生一定的影响,相关分析表明,TDP和DIP这2种形态磷均具有相似的释放规律。     

花鸟山外海域几种形态磷在柱状沉积物中的分布及环境意义

综合运用 SEDEX化学法、ASPILA化学法和 XRF仪器分析法 ,对在东海赤潮多发区花鸟山外海域采集的柱状沉积物进行了总磷及其不同形态磷含量的系统分析。研究表明 ,总磷及其不同形态磷在沉积柱垂向上的分布有一定的变化规律。在采样深度范围内 ,总磷 (TP)、有机磷 (OP)和铁结合态磷 (Fe - P)的含量自下而上增高 ,而吸附态磷 (Ad - P)、自生钙结合态磷 (Ca- P)与碎屑态磷 (De- P)的含量向上递减。样品柱具有较均匀的粒度及矿物、化学组成 ,基本可以排除沉积物质来源和沉积环境变化对沉积物中磷含量的影响 ,而且也不能仅仅用早期成岩作用来解释磷的上述行为。不同形态磷在柱状沉积物中的分布规律 ,在一定程度上反映了近年来陆源区环境污染加剧的趋势。     

胶州湾柱状沉积物中无机与有机磷的形态研究

研究了胶州湾柱状沉积物磷的存在形态、浓度水平及其分布特征.结果表明3种形态磷的浓度为:总磷(TP) 12.78 μmol·g-1;无机磷(IP)9.60 μmol·g-1;有机磷(OP)3.18 μmol·g-1.无机态磷占总磷的75%,为沉积物中磷的主要存在形式.磷在柱状沉积物中的分布呈上层低(0～10cm),中间层段(66～90cm)略高,155cm以深层段浓度稳定且较低的态势,尤以TP和IP表现明显.磷在上层沉积物中浓度水平较低的现象可能与近年来入湾河流磷的输入量较低有关.

2010年3月在厦门湾采集表层沉积物,应用改进的化学试剂连续分级浸取法(SEDEX)法对其中的弱吸附态磷(Ads-P)、铁结合态磷(Fe-P)、自生磷灰石及钙结合态磷(Ca-P)、碎屑态磷(De-P)和有机态磷(OP)的含量进行了分析测定,结合沉积物的环境参数,讨论了各种形态磷的地球化学行为。Ads-P、Fe-P、Ca-P、De-P、OP和总磷(TP)平均含量分别为9.80μg·g-1、148.69μg·g-1、14.07μg·g-1、136.89μg·g-1、91.97μg·g-1和401.41μg·g-1。研究表明,沉积物中的TP受陆源输入影响较小;Ads-P和Ca-P含量主要源于海区内部生物地球化学过程;De-P、OP和Fe-P主要受陆源输入影响;Ca-P、De-P和OP与重金属(Cu、Pb、Cd和As)具有化学耦合作用,在沉积过程中,可能具有相似地球化学行为。     

不同规格刺参的生物扰动作用对沉积物中磷赋存形态及吸附特性的影响

本实验研究了不同规格刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)的生物扰动作用对沉积物中磷赋存形态及吸附特性的影响。实验设置了5、15和30g/头3个刺参规格处理组和1个空白对照组,分别标记为S5、S15、S30和S0,每组设置4个重复。通过SMT分布浸提法和磷吸附特性实验,分别测定了各处理组沉积物中磷不同赋存形态的含量以及沉积物对磷的吸附特征参数。研究表明:(1)S30组大规格刺参生物扰动作用显著增加了无机磷(IP)和铁/铝结合态磷(NaOH-P)的含量,而有机磷(OP)和总磷(TP)的含量则显著减少(P0.05);生物扰动作用强度随着刺参规格减小而减弱,S5组刺参生物扰动作用对磷赋存形态的影响不显著(P0.05)。(2)底质中钙结合态磷(HCl-P)为磷的主要形态,其性质比较稳定,各规格处理组中刺参的生物扰动作用对其影响不显著(P0.05)。(3)S15和S30组底泥K_d值显著降低,ECP_0值显著增大(P0.05),而S5组刺参的生物扰动作用对K_d值和ECP_0值的影响不显著(P0.05)。(4)S0组MBC和K_f值随着时间增加而显著减小(P0.05),而处理组S5、S15和S30的MBC和K_f值随时间无显著变化(P0.05)。结果表明:随着刺参养殖规格的增加,刺参的生物扰动作用可以有效降低沉积物中有机物(包括有机磷)的含量,通过提高沉积物的氧化还原电位,促进有机磷(OP)的降解、矿化和部分向铁/铝结合态磷(NaOH-P)转变,增强了沉积物对磷的吸附能力,减少了水体富营养化的危险。     

南黄海表层沉积磷的赋存形态及其对水体富营养化态势的影响

南黄海水体富营养化日益加剧,作为我国绿潮孕育和暴发的主要场所,其水体富营养化的形成演变机制仍未完全清楚。为解析该区沉积物中营养元素磷（P）的释放特征和对水体富营养化的潜在贡献,采用改进的连续浸取法（SEDEX）分析了表层沉积中磷的含量水平和赋存形态,探讨了其生物有效性和对水体富营养化态势的影响。研究表明：总磷（TP）平均值为514 mg/kg,处于轻度污染,以无机磷（IP）为主要赋存形态（76.39%）,有机磷（OP）次之,IP又以Ca-P为主（30.17%）。各形态磷平均贡献依次为OP>Ca-P>De-P>Fe-P>Ex-P。Ca-P和De-P属于生物不可利用磷,在沉积物中稳定性较强,在较粗粒径沉积物中含量较高。Ex-P和Fe-P易吸附于细颗粒沉积物表面,pH、温度、水体动力和氧化还原条件等是影响其吸附-释放的主要因素,南黄海海水酸化将促进Ex-P和Fe-P向海水释放,加剧海水富营养化程度。OP变化趋势显示,近岸以陆源输入为主,远岸生物过程具有重要贡献。南黄海生物有效磷（BAP:Ex-P+Fe-P+OP）平均值为240.1 mg/kg,占TP的46.4%,表明...

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

A Review of Some Environmental Issues Affecting Marine Mining

This article reviews information recently available from existing marine and coastal mining for responses to environmental issues affecting marine mining at different depths. It is particularly but not exclusively concerned with those issues affecting seabed biodiversity impact and recovery. Much information has been gathered in the past 10 years from shallow mining operations for construction aggregate, diamonds, and gold, from coastal mines discharging tailings to shallow and deep water, and from experimental deep mining tests. The responses to issues identified are summarized in a series of eight tables intended to facilitate site-specific consideration. Since impacts can spread widely in the surface mixing layer SML, and can affect the biologically productive euphotic zone, the main issues considered arise from the depth of mining relative to the SML of the sea. Where mining is below the SML, the issue is whether it is environmentally better to bring the extraction products to the surface vessel for processing (and waste discharge), or to process the extraction products as much as possible on the seabed. Responses to the issues need to be sitespecific, and dependent on adequate preoperational environmental impact and recovery prediction. For deep tailings disposal from a surface vessel, there are four important environmental unknowns: (1) the possible growth of "marine snow" (bacterial flocs) utilizing the enormous quantities of fine tailings particles (hundreds or thousands of metric tons per day) as nuclei for growth, (2) the possibility that local keystone plankton and nekton species may migrate diurnally down to and beyond the depth of deep discharge and hence be subjected to tailings impact at depth, (3) the burrow-up capability of deep benthos and their ability to survive high rates of tailings deposition, and (4) the pattern and rate of dispersion of a tailings density current through the deep water column from discharge point to seabed. Actions to obtain relevant information in general and site-specifically are suggested.     

Increased Particle Fluxes at the INDEX Site Attributable to Simulated Benthic Disturbance

Particle fluxes were measured 7 m above the sea bottom during the predisturbance, disturbance, and postdisturbance periods by using time series sediment traps attached to seven deep-sea moorings deployed in the INDEX experiment site in the Central Indian Basin. The predisturbance particle fluxes varied between 22.3 to 55.1 mg m -2 day -1 . Increased and variable particle fluxes were recorded by the sediment traps during the disturbance period. The increase observed was 0.5 to 4 times more than the background predisturbance fluxes. The increases in particle fluxes (~4 times) recorded by the sediment trap located in the southwestern direction (DMS-1) were the greatest, which could be the result of preferential movement of resuspended particles generated during the deep-sea benthic disturbance along the general current direction prevailing in this area during the experimental period. Also, the traps located closer to the disturbance area recorded greater fluxes than did the traps far away, across the Deep Sea Sediment Resuspension System path. This variability in recorded particle fluxes by the traps around the disturbance area clearly indicates that physical characteristics such as grain size and density of the resuspended particles produced during the disturbance had an important effect on particle movement. The postdisturbance measurements during ~5 days showed a reduction in particle fluxes of ~50%, indicating rapid particle settlement.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.     

Determination of In Situ Sediment Shear Strength from Advanced Piston Corer Pullout Forces

The advanced piston corer (APC) has been used by the Ocean Drilling Program since 1985 for recovering soft sediments from the ocean floor. The pullout force measured on extracting the core barrel from the sediment is shown to correlate with the average shear strength of the sediment core measured in the ship's laboratory. A simple rule of thumb is derived relating the shear strength of the sediment to the pullout force. Multiple APC holes at individual sites allow the consistency of the pullout measurements to be assessed. The effects of different operational procedures during APC coring are also explored. Although generally applicable, the correlation between pullout force and laboratory measurements of shear strength breaks down for some APC holes, possibly because of the disturbance of some sediment types during the APC coring process. A better understanding of the physical process of APC coring, and its effect on the properties of the sediment both inside and immediately outside the core barrel, would indicate what confidence can be put on the measurement of pullout force as a way of evaluating the in situ shear strength of deep sea sediments.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.
