2015年春季长江口表层沉积物生源要素分布和来源

根据2015年5月对长江口及其邻近海域的生态环境调查资料, 探讨长江口春季表层沉积物总有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)和生源硅(BSi)4类生源要素的空间分布和来源。结果表明: 2015年春季长江口表层沉积物TOC、TN、TP和BSi平均含量分别为0.315%、0.041%、0.066%和0.450%, 其中, 沉积物中TOC、TN受到陆源输入和海洋自生输入双重影响, 且海洋自生组分的贡献较大, 二者空间分布均呈现南部分布最高并沿西北方向递减趋势; TP分布主要受陆源输入影响, 并呈西北向东南递减趋势; BSi来源于生物沉积, 总体呈现南部高、北部低的分布趋势。与2007年相比, 长江口表层沉积物有机碳、氮含量降低, 东南外海区域替代浑浊区域成为表层沉积物生源要素含量最高区域, 且陆源输入对长江口表层沉积物生源要素的贡献趋于减弱。

基于水淘选分级的长江口及其邻近海域表层沉积物中有机碳的来源、分布和保存

从分级的角度认识大河三角洲前缘河口沉积有机碳的来源、分布和保存对深刻理解全球碳循环具有重要意义。于2012年6月采集了长江口和浙闽沿岸共6个站位的表层沉积物样品,采用水淘选的方法按照颗粒物水动力直径大小对其进行分级分离,分析了这些分级样品的有机碳含量、稳定同位素、比表面积以及木质素等参数,并且结合蒙特卡洛模拟的三端元混合模型,讨论了此区域不同粒级沉积有机碳的来源、分布和保存特点。结果表明,长江口表层沉积物的有机碳在小粒级中含量较高,如8~16μm粒级有机碳含量的均值为1.30%,而32~63μm粒级的均值为0.90%,但是大粒级有机碳对沉积物有机碳的贡献最高(81.3%),这是因为大粒级的质量贡献占绝对优势(72.0%)。三端元混合模型的计算结果表明,长江口表层沉积物中沉积有机碳的贡献以海洋来源为主(平均为73%),土壤和维管植物也有一定贡献(平均值分别为21%和6%)。在小粒级(8~16μm)中,土壤对于沉积有机碳的贡献显著高于其他粒级,这是由于土壤有机质比较容易富集在细颗粒上。木质素的参数,如C/V(0.04~0.32)和S/V(0.33~1.23),显示长江口表层沉积物主要来源于草本和木本被子植物的混合,随着粒级的增大,草本被子植物的来源逐渐增多。浙闽沿岸分级沉积物的OC/SSA0.4mg/m2,而长江口的站位中OC/SSA0.4mg/m2,表明长江口沉积有机碳的保存效率比浙闽沿岸的高。木质素降解参数,如(Ad/Al)v、3,5-Bd/V和P/(S+V)随着粒级的增大逐渐降低,表明小粒级降解程度较高,而大粒级中降解程度较低。

2016年夏季长江口及其邻近海域表层沉积物中有机质的分布特征与来源分析

2016年夏季,在长江口及其邻近海域采集了55个表层沉积物样品,通过分析样品的粒级组成、总有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)及其稳定同位素(δ¹³C和δ¹⁵N)等相关指标,探讨了长江口邻近海域表层沉积物中有机质的空间分布特征、来源及环境指示意义。结果表明,有机质的空间分布与海域周边陆源有机质输入、沉积物粒径及海流影响密切相关,长江口外南侧海域和浙江外海泥质区是TOC、TN的高值区(TOC>0.5%,TN>0.08%),长江口北侧的砂质粉砂区为低值区(TOC<0.4%,TN<0.05%)。δ¹³C (-23.94～-20.49‰)与TOC/TN(6.45～11.16)的空间分布特征与数值范围显示,表层沉积物中有机质是海洋和陆地来源的混合;通过分析陆源有机碳的相对贡献率(f:13.00～58.45%)与海源有机碳(TOC_marine:0.12～0.55%)可知,陆海物质来源比例的变化与离岸距离及长江冲淡水的路径密切相关,海源有机质在123°E以东海域显著增加。δ¹⁵

渤海表层沉积物中有机碳的分布和来源

大河影响下的陆架边缘海沉积有机碳的分布和来源是全球碳循环研究的重要内容。本研究于2012年5月采集了渤海海域的29个表层沉积物样品,分析了粒度组成、总有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)、木质素含量和稳定碳同位素丰度(δ13C)等参数,结合基于蒙特卡洛模拟的三端元混合模型,定量研究了沉积物中有机碳的分布和来源情况,并讨论了其影响因素。结果表明,研究区域表层沉积物中TOC含量为0.19%~0.81%,渤海中部泥质区站位(大于0.65%)明显高于其周围砂质区域站位(小于0.40%);TOC与黏土含量也有显著的正相关性,说明细颗粒沉积物容易富集有机碳。沉积有机碳的δ13C范围为-23.7‰~-21.8‰,显示沉积有机碳是海源和陆源有机碳的混合输入。木质素参数,如C/V、S/V和LPVI的数值范围显示研究区域表层沉积物中木质素主要来源于被子植物草本组织与木本组织的混合,同时有少量裸子植物的贡献。基于蒙特卡洛模拟的三端元混合模型显示研究区域沉积物中有机碳主要来源于海洋浮游植物,平均为64%,陆源有机碳中来自土壤的贡献最高(平均为27%),C₃维管植物的贡献较少(平均为9%)。海洋浮游植物有机碳主要分布在渤海中部泥质区及离岸较远的区域,而土壤有机碳和C₃维管植物有机碳则主要沉积在河口附近及近岸区,并可以离岸输运到较远的地方。     

长江口及毗邻海区沉积物中磷的分布特征长江口及毗邻海区沉积物中磷的分布特征

于2006年6月和2007年4月在长江口及毗邻海区采集了表层沉积物样品,利用水淘选法对沉积物进行了粒径分级,并采用改进后的SEDEX方法对沉积物样品及分粒级沉积物样品进行了磷形态分析。结果表明,2006年6月和2007年4月长江口及毗邻海区沉积物总磷变化分别为1256~1964 μmol/g和899~1991 μmol/g,其中碎屑磷是磷的主要存在形态。可交换态磷、铁结合态磷、有机磷、自生磷灰石磷及难分解有机磷在长江口外的平面分布比较一致,均在紧邻长江口门外、杭州湾外的条状带出现了含量的高值,而在口门内及口门外河口靠海一侧碎屑磷含量较高。不同形态磷在不同粒径沉积物中的含量不尽相同：有机磷、自生磷灰石磷以及难分解有机磷是小于8 μm粒级沉积物中磷的主要组成部分,而且其在总磷中所占比例随沉积物粒径的增加而下降;碎屑磷则主要集中在粗沉积物中,为32~63 μm及大于63 μm粒级沉积物中磷的主要贡献者。沉积物的粒度分异以及各形态磷在不同粒径沉积物中含量的差异,共同影响着河口沉积物中磷的分布     

杭州湾表层沉积物有机碳分布、来源及近20年来的变化

根据2002年、2008年、2012年、2017年和2022年夏季采样分析结果,对杭州湾表层沉积物中有机碳（TOC）时空分布变化进行了研究。结果表明研究区TOC平均值分别为0.55%(n=16)、0.50%(n=112)、0.44%(n=38)、0.53%(n=38)和0.51%(n=38),总体上呈现南北高东西低的“X”形平面分布特征,高值区出现在北岸金山至南汇咀海域和南侧镇海至慈溪海域,相关性分析表明TOC分布受到沉积物类型的控制,主要赋存于细颗粒沉积物内。沉积物的氧化还原环境也对TOC分布有显著影响。分区进行5个年份TOC统计分析显示,20年来北部海域先减后增,变化较为明显,南部和东部海域2017年增大之后减小,西部海域变化不大。TOC随时间的变化受到自然条件和人为活动造成的长江入海泥沙和有机物质通量下降、海洋源增加等因素的影响。C/N、δ13C特征表明,研究区沉积物中有机碳陆源贡献比例大都在30%～70%,站点差异较大,北岸近岸海域和东南侧海域陆源有机碳比例较高,湾中部和东部海域有机碳的海洋源比例较高。     

长江口邻近陆架区表层沉积物的木质素分布和有机物来源分析

对长江口邻近陆架区表层沉积物的有机物进行碳、氮元素、碳稳定同位素和木质素测定,以分析其物质来源,特别是陆源有机物的迁移埋藏。结果表明,碳与氮含量的比值为6.2~7.7,δ13C为-19.9×10-3~-22.4×10-3。8种木质素酚单位的总含量(相对于总有机碳)为0.15×10-2~1.56×10-2mg/mg,显著低于长江口门处的2.50×10-2mg/mg。香草基酚类的酸醛比平均值为0.90,表明该海区的陆源有机物是高度降解的;紫丁香级酚类与香草基酚类的含量之比为(0.78±0.35),肉桂基酚类与香草基酚类的含量之比为(0.13±0.08),表明这些陆源有机物源于草本和木本混合的被子植物。31.5°N以南站位木质素的降解程度比北部的高,草本植物源的贡献更大,被子植物的主导优势也更明显;长江输入的有机物以沿岸堆积为主,具有显著的离岸降低趋势。在31.5°N以北的陆架区,虽然近岸站位陆源有机物的贡献显著高于其他站位,但其他站位并没有离岸递减趋势。这种南北分布差别可能是由海流条件和水深梯度的差异引起的。计算结果显示,该海区表层沉积物中的陆源有机物占总有机物的5%~57%,且主要来自土壤有机质。     

Simulating the influence of various nutrient sources on hypoxia off the Changjiang River Estuary

Hypoxia is increasingly reported off the Changjiang River Estuary with the confluence of multiple high volume nutrient sources. The Regional Ocean Modeling System coupled with a biological model was used to analyze the effect of different nutrient sources on the development of hypoxia off the Changjiang River Estuary. By comparing to observed data, our model suitably captured the regional dynamics of chlorophyll a, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient concentration. A series of sensitivity experiments were conducted to investigate the hypoxia response to the various nutrient sources, such as loading from the Changjiang River, Kuroshio and Taiwan Warm Current. Our model results indicated that nutrients from different sources significantly influenced the hypoxia off the Changjiang River Estuary, and it was mostly affected by nutrients sourced from the Kuroshio. The nutrients input from the Changjiang River had larger impacts on the hypoxia in the north of 30°N than that in the south of 30°N. The nutrients sourced from the Taiwan Strait had a least influence on the hypoxia off the Changjiang River Estuary.     

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide and air-sea fluxes in the Changjiang River Estuary and adjacent Hangzhou Bay

The distributions of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (p CO2 ) in the surface waters of the Changjiang River Estuary and adjacent Hangzhou Bay were examined in the summer of 2010. Surface water p CO2 ranged from 751-2 095 μatm (1 atm=101 325 Pa) in the inner estuary, 177-1 036 μatm in the outer estuary, and 498-1 166 μatm in Hangzhou Bay. Overall, surface p CO2 behaved conservatively during the estuary mixing. In the inner estuary, surface p CO2 was relatively high due to urbanized pollution and a high respiration rate. The lowest p CO2 was observed in the outer estuary, which was apparently induced by a phytoplankton bloom because the dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll a were very high. The Changjiang River Estuary was a significant source of atmospheric CO2 and the degassing fluxes were estimated as 0-230 mmol/(m2 d) [61 mmol/(m2 d) on average] in the inner estuary. In contrast, the outer estuary acted as a CO2 sink.     

Grain size composition and transport of sedimentary organic carbon in the Changjiang River (Yangtze River) Estuary and Hangzhou Bay and their adjacent waters

Surface sediments from the Changjiang River(Yangtze River) Estuary,Hangzhou Bay,and their adjacent waters were analyzed for their grain size distribution,organic carbon(OC) concentration,and stable carbon isotope composition(δ13C).Based on this analysis,about 36 surface sediment samples were selected from various environments and separated into sand(0.250 mm,0.125–0.250 mm,0.063–0.125 mm) and silt(0.025–0.063 mm)fractions by wet-sieving fractionation methods,and further into silt-(0.004–0.025 mm) and clay-sized(0.004mm) fractions by centrifugal fractionation.Sediments of six grain size categories were analyzed for their OC andδ13C contents to explore the grain size composition and transport paths of sedimentary OC in the study area.From fine to coarse fractions,the OC content was 1.18%,0.51%,0.46%,0.42%,0.99%,and 0.48%,respectively,while theδ13C was –21.64‰,–22.03‰,–22.52‰,–22.46‰,–22.36‰,and –22.28‰,respectively.In each size category,the OC contribution was 42.96%,26.06%,9.82%,5.75%,7.09%,and 8.33%,respectively.The OC content in clay and fine silt fractions(0.025 mm) was about 69.02%.High OC concentrations were mainly found in offshore modern sediments in the northeast of the Changjiang River Estuary,in modern sediments in the lower estuary of the Changjiang River and Hangzhou Bay,and in Cyclonic Eddy modern sediments to the southwest of the Cheju Island.Integrating the distribution of terrestrial OC content of each grain size category with the δ13C of the bulk sediment indicated that the terrestrial organic material in the Changjiang River Estuary was transported seaward and dispersed to the Cyclonic Eddy modern sediments to the southwest of the Cheju Island via two pathways:one was a result of the Changjiang River Diluted Water(CDW) northeastward extending branch driven by the North Jiangsu Coastal Current and the Yellow Sea Coastal Current,while the other one was the result of the CDW southward extending branch driven by the Taiwan Warm Current.     

近30a来长江口海域生态环境状况变化趋势分析

在过去近30a监测结果基础上,对长江口海域生态环境变化趋势进行了分析。结果表明,近30a来,长江口海域水体中无机氮和活性磷酸盐呈现上升的趋势,重金属(铜、铅、镉和总汞)在一定范围内波动;浮游生物的种类数年际变化较大,浮游植物中硅藻比例有所下降,甲藻所占比例有所上升,浮游动物中桡足类的比例下降。讨论了长江径流输沙量与环境因子之间的相关性,发现硅酸盐的含量与输沙量呈显著正相关,且硅酸盐的减少与海域硅藻比例的减少具有一定相关性。长江口及其邻近海域环境与生态状况有所下降,特别是本世纪以来,海域的主要污染物仍为无机氮和活性磷酸盐,生物状态基本稳定在一个较低的水平上,近年来虽偶有波动,但没有明显改善的趋势。

Porewater-derived dissolved inorganic carbon and nutrient fluxes in a saltmarsh of the Changjiang River Estuary

Saltmarshes are one of the most productive ecosystems, which contribute significantly to coastal nutrient and carbon budgets. However, limited information is available on soil nutrient and carbon losses via porewater exchange in saltmarshes. Here, porewater exchange and associated fluxes of nutrients and dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC) in the largest saltmarsh wetland(Chongming Dongtan) in the Changjiang River Estuary were quantified. Porewater exchange rate was estimated to be(37±35) cm/d during December 2017 using a radon(~(222)Rn) mass balance model. The porewater exchange delivered 67 mmol/(m~2·d), 38 mmol/(m~2·d) and 2 690 mmol/(m~2·d) of dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN), dissolved silicon(DSi) and DIC into the coastal waters,respectively. The dominant species of porewater DIN was NH_4~+ (99% of DIN). However, different with those in other ecosystems, the dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP) concentration in saltmarsh porewater was significantly lower than that in surface water, indicating that saltmarshes seem to be a DIP sink in Chongming Dongtan. The porewater-derived DIN, DSi and DIC accounted for 12%, 5% and 18% of the riverine inputs, which are important components of coastal nutrient and carbon budgets. Furthermore, porewater-drived nutrients had obviously high N/P ratios(160–3 995), indicating that the porewater exchange process may change the nutrient characteristics of the Changjiang River Estuary and further alter the coastal ecological environment.     

长江口海域表层沉积物常量元素地球化学及其地质意义

通过对长江口外海域187个表层沉积物样品进行常量元素氧化物(SiO₂,Al₂O₃,Fe₂O₃,MgO,CaO,Na₂O,K₂O,P₂O₅,TiO₂,MnO,TOC和 CaCO₃)测试,分析其空间分布特征及其地质意义。结果显示,研究区表层沉积物常量元素氧化物主要由SiO₂,Al₂O₃,Fe₂O₃,MgO,CaO,Na₂O,K₂O和TiO₂等组成,这8种组分约占沉积物总量的91.59%;其中SiO₂和Al₂O₃含量最高,平均值分别为62.43%和11.16%。R型因子分析结果表明,研究区表层沉积物的常量元素氧化物可以分为3类:第1类包括SiO₂,Al₂O₃,Fe₂O₃,MgO,P₂O₅,TiO₂和MnO;第2类包括CaO,K₂O,CaCO₃和TOC;第3类包括Na₂O,这3类可能分别代表了陆源碎屑沉积、海洋生物和陆源混合沉积以及海洋化学沉积。Al₂O₃/Na₂O和CIA的空间分布较为相似,指示了长江入海物质主要堆积在长江口及其以南的123.5°E以西海域,闽浙冬季沿岸流是其主要驱动力。
