Here we present results of an initial assessment of the impacts of a water diversion event on the concentrations and chemical composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacterioplankton community composition in Barataria Bay, Louisiana U.S.A, an important estuary within the Mississippi River Delta complex. Concentrations and spectral properties of DOM, as reflected by UV/visible absorbance and fluorescence, were strikingly similar at 26 sites sampled along transects near two western and two eastern areas of Barataria Bay in July and September 2010. In September 2010, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was significantly higher (568.1-1043 μM C, x=755.6+/-117.7 μM C, n=14) than in July 2010 (249.1-577.1 μM C, x=383.7+/-98.31 μM C, n=14); conversely, Abs254 was consistently higher at every site in July (0.105-0.314) than in September (0.080-0.221), averaging 0.24±0.06 in July and 0.15±0.04 in September. Fluorescence data via the fluorescence index (FI450/500) revealed that only 30% (8 of 26) of the July samples had an FI450/500 above 1.36, compared to 96% (25 of 26) for the September samples. This indicates a more terrestrial origin for the July DOM. Bacterioplankton from eastern sites differed in composition from bacterioplankon in western sites in July. These differences appeared to result from reduced salinities caused by the freshwater diversion. Bacterioplankton communities in September differed from those in July, but no spatial structure was observed. Thus, the trends in bacterioplankton and DOM were likely due to changes in water masses (e.g., input of Mississippi River water in July and a return to estuarine waters in September). Discharge of water from the Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion (DPFD) through Barataria Bay may have partially mitigated some adverse effects of the oil spill, inasmuch as DOM is concerned. 相似文献

This review discusses the use of hypoxia models in synthesizing the knowledge about the causes of Gulf of Mexico hypoxia,
predicting the probable consequences of management actions, and building a consensus about the management of hypoxia. It also
offers suggestions for future efforts related to simulating and forecasting Gulf hypoxia. The existing hypoxia models for
the northern Gulf of Mexico range from simple regression models to complex three-dimensional simulation models, and they capture
very different aspects of the physics, chemistry, and biology of this region. Several of these models were successfully calibrated
to observations relevant for their process formulations and spatial-temporal scales. Available model results are compared
to reach the consensus that large-scale hypoxia probably did not begin in the Gulf of Mexico until the mid 1970s, and that
the 30% nitrogen load reduction that is called for by the Action Plan may not be sufficient to achieve its goal. The present
models results suggest that a 40–45% reduction in riverine nitrogen load may be necessary to achieve the desired reduction
in the areal extent of hypoxia. These model results underscore the importance of setting this goal as a running average because
of significant interannual variability. Caution is raised for setting resource management goals without considering the long-term
consequences of climate variability and change. 相似文献
