北冰洋沉积物岩芯中厌氧细菌分布

用逐步稀释法对北冰洋研究区10个沉积物岩芯(计189份样品)的厌氧细菌(AAB)进行分析,用改进的ZoBell 2216号培养基,在4 ℃和25 ℃温度中分别培养3周以上,根据培养结果统计样品中厌氧细菌的检出率与含量,分析厌氧细菌含量的分布情况.结果表明,4 ℃时AAB检出率为85.71%,含量范围 0~2.40×109 个·g-1,平均4.42×107 个·g-1;25 ℃时检出率为93.05%,含量范围0~1.10×109 个·g-1,平均5.31×107 个·g-1,略高于4 ℃时的平均值.研究表明研究区岩芯中广布AAB;温度的提高,可能提高AAB的相关指标;沉积物深度增加可能有利于AAB生长,但太深也不利于AAB生长,呈中层增高现象,但并不规则;在一定水深范围内,水深增加也有利于AAB的生长.同时给出了研究区内不同海域AAB分布差异.     

九龙江口表层沉积物重金属分布及潜在生态风险评价

对九龙江口表层沉积物中的TOC,Cu,Pb,Cd,Cr,Hg,As的含量进行了分析,TOC,Cu,Cd,Hg和As的质量分数均符合一类海洋沉积物质量标准;Pb和Cd在个别站位超标.相关性分析表明,九龙江口表层沉积物中大多数重金属呈现相近的来源特征,有机质是影响沉积物中重金属分布的重要因素.采用潜在生态风险指数法对九龙江口表层沉积物重金属污染的潜在生态风险进行了评价,结果表明,九龙江口存在一定程度的生态风险,重金属的生态风险依次为Cd>Hg>As>Pb>Cu>Cr,除Cd达到重的生态风险外,其余元素均为低生态风险.     

北冰洋西部表层沉积物中生源组分及其古海洋学意义

通过对中国首次和第二次北极科学考察在北冰洋西部所采取的66个表层沉积物中生源组分的分析,探讨了该海区表层生产力变化与水团的相互关系。楚科奇海西南部呈现出高的有机碳和生源蛋白石含量,而中部和东部哈罗德浅滩至阿拉斯加沿岸,以及楚科奇海台、北风脊和加拿大海盆表现出低的有机碳和生源蛋白石含量。楚科奇海陆架区表层沉积物以底栖有孔虫为主,丰度低;而楚科奇海台、北风脊和加拿大海盆则以浮游有孔虫占绝对优势,丰度较高。生源组分的分布特征显然与通过白令海峡进入楚科奇海的三股太平洋水和大西洋次表层水相关。楚科奇海西侧沿富营养的阿纳德尔流方向的区域呈现出高的表层生产力。而东侧受寡营养的阿拉斯加沿岸流及阿拉斯加西北沿岸陆源物质输入的影响,呈现出低的表层生产力。北纬75°以北及加拿大海盆受海冰覆盖影响,也表现出最低的表层生产力。而受北大西洋次表层水的影响,楚科奇海陆架外侧高纬海域表现出较高的钙质生物生产力。表层沉积物中Corg/N比值及其分布反映楚科奇海表层沉积物中的有机碳以海洋自身来源为主,且主要受生物泵过程控制。有机碳和生源蛋白石含量呈现高的正相关关系,说明硅藻等浮游植物的初级生产力可能控制着生物泵对碳的吸收和释放。     

用氢氧稳定同位素揭示闽江河口区河水、地下水和海水的相互作用

为了揭示闽江河口两岸的地下水形成演化规律以及河口区河水、地下水和海水的相互作用,分别于2009年枯水期(10至11月)和2010年丰水期(7至8月),在闽江河口区采集了河水、地下水和海水样品,测定了水样的氢氧稳定同位素组成和盐度.研究结果表明:(1)闽江河口两岸的浅层地下水主要接受降水补给,北岸地下水还接受山区基岩裂隙水补给,南岸浅层地下水在枯水期还接受经过蒸发作用的灌溉水补给;(2)闽江河口区,枯、丰水期河水与地下水的补排关系始终表现为地下水补给河水,枯水期南岸地下水在河口混合中的贡献明显增大;(3)海岸带含水层基本上不存在海水入侵,仅局部含水层有微弱的海水入侵迹象;(4)丰水期和枯水期的淡咸水混合带在河口中的位置和混合类型存在明显差异.     

Geographical distribution of general aerobic heterotrophic bacteria in surficial sediments from the Chukchi Sea and Canadian Basin

This paper determined the abundance of General Aerobic heterotrophic Bacteria(GAB) in surficial sediments from the Chukchi Sea and the Canadian basin by using MPN and discussed their geographical distribution.The result shows that the determination percentages of the GAB were high,even till 100 percentage.The abundance range and averages of GAB for 4℃and 25℃ were from 4.00×102 to 2.40×106,1.71×106 ind.·g-1(wet sample) and from 2.40×105 to 2.40×107,1.10×107 ind.·g-1(wet sample) respectively.Not only the abundance range but also the averages of GAB in 25℃ were higher than that in 4℃.The abundance of GAB in sediments show a tendency that it is roughly greater in the lower latitudinal area than in the higher latitudinal area.The abundance of GAB increased from east to west as for the longitudinal distribution.With the water depth increasing,the abundance of GAB at 4℃ decreased,but GBA at 25℃ is not changed obviously with water depth.It seems that warmer circumstantial temperature is more suitable for some GAB.     

Seasonal and spatial variations in rare earth elements and yttrium of dissolved load in the middle,lower reaches and estuary of the Minjiang River,southeastern China

A bstract With the aim of elucidating the spatial and seasonal behaviors of rare earth elements(REEs), we investigated the dissolved REE concentrations of surface water collected during four seasons from middle, lower reaches and estuary of the Minjiang River, southeastern China. The results display that the REE abundances in Minjiang River, ranging from 3.3–785.9 ng/L, were higher than those of many of the major global rivers. The total REE concentrations(∑REE) were seasonally variable, averaging in 5 937.30, 863.79, 825.65 and 1 065.75 ng/L during second highest flow(SHF), normal flow(NF), low flow(LF) and high flow(HF) season, respectively. The R_(( L/M)) and R_((H/M)) ratios reveal the spatial and temporal variations of REE patterns, and particularly vary apparently in the maximum turbidity zone and estuary. REE patterns of dissolved loads are characterized by progressing weaker LREEs-enrichment and stronger HREEsenrichment downstream from middle reaches to estuary during all four seasons. Comparing with NF and LF seasons, in which REE patterns are relatively flat, samples of SHF season have more LREE-enriched and HREE-depleted patterns that close to parent rocks, while samples of HF season are more LREEs-depleted and HREE-enriched. REE fractionations from the middle to lower reaches are stronger in the SHF and HF seasons than those in NF and LF seasons. Generally, spatial and seasonal variations in REE abundance and pattern are presumably due to several factors, such as chemical weathering, mixture with rainfall and groundwater, estuarine mixing, runoff, biological production and mountain river characters, such as strong hydrodynamic forces and steep slopes. The highest Gd/Gd* always occurs at north ports during all four seasons, where most of the large hospitals are located. This suggests Gd anomalies are depended on the density of modern medical facilities. Y/Ho ratios fl uctuate and positively correlate to salinity in estuary, probably because of the geochemical behavior differences between Y and Ho.
