Examination of Silicate Limitation of Primary Production in Jiaozhou Bay,North China：Ⅲ.Judgment Method ,Rules and Uniqueness of Nutrient Limitation Among N,P,and Si

Analysis and comparison of Jiaozhou Bay data collected from May 1991 to February 1994 (12 seasonal investigations) provided by the Ecological Station of Jiaozhou Bay revealed the characteristic spatiotemporal variation of the ambient concentration Si∶DIN and Si∶16P ratios and the seasonal variation of Jiaozhou Bay Si∶DIN and Si∶16P ratios showing that the Si∶DIN ratios were <1 throughout the year in Jiaozhou Bay; and that the Si∶16P ratios were <1 throughout Jiaozhou Bay in spring, autumn and winter. The results proved that silicate limited phytoplankton growth in spring, autumn and winter in Jiaozhou Bay. Analysis of the Si∶DIN and Si∶P ratios showed that the nutrient Si has been limiting the growth of phytoplankton throughout the year in some Jiaozhou Bay waters; and that the silicate deficiency changed the phytoplankton assemblage structure. Analysis of discontinuous 1962 to 1998 nutrient data showed that there was no N or P limitation of phytoplankton growth in that period. The authors consider that the annual cyclic change of silicate limits phytoplankton growth in spring, autumn and winter every year in Jiaozhou Bay; and that in many Jiaozhou Bay waters where the phytoplankton as the predominant species need a great amount of silicate, analysis of the nutrients N or P limitation of phytoplankton growth relying only on the N and P nutrients and DIN∶P ratio could yield inaccurate conclusions. The results obtained by applying the rules of absolute and relative limitation fully support this view. The authors consider that the main function of nutrient silicon is to regulate and control the mechanism of the phytoplankton growth process in the ecological system in estuaries, bays and the sea. The authors consider that according to the evolution theory of Darwin, continuous environmental pressure gradually changes the phytoplankton assemblage's structure and the physiology of diatoms. Diatoms requiring a great deal of silicon either constantly decrease or reduce their requirement for silicon. This will cause a series of huge changes in the ecosystem so that the whole ecosystem requires continuous renewal, change and balancing. Human beings have to reduce marine pollution and enhance the capacity of continental sources to transport silicon to sustain the continuity and stability in the marine ecosystem.

湛江港浮游硅藻优势种的初步调查

前文对湛江港浮游硅藻的种类组成和周年的数量变化已作了论述。本文主要论述从1981年4月至1982年3月湛江港浮游硅藻优势种的初步调查，鉴定结果共有9种。调查水域浮游硅藻优势种年总生物量的周年变化中，大约出现三个高峰期。在9个优势种中．它们生物量的周年变化皆不相同。调查结果表明，湛江港浮游硅藻总生物量的多少是由优势种总生物量的多少决定的。     

琵琶潭瀑布岩溶沉积物生物多样性研究

为了探索瀑布岩溶沉积物中生物多样特征, 2006年12月对贵阳市琵琶潭瀑布岩溶沉积环境进行了野外生态学调查,采集样品和标本25份。经室内初步分析和鉴定, 该瀑布岩溶沉积物中含有5大生物多样性类群共33个物种,它们是蓝细菌( Cya no bacteria) 2个种,原生动物( Pr oto zoan) 12个种,绿藻( Green algae ) 1个种,硅藻( Dia toms) 10个种和苔藓植物( Bry ophy tes) 8个种。生物多样性在琵琶潭岩溶沉积形成中的地质生态学贡献主要表现在: ( 1)生物表面为淡水碳酸钙晶体提供了附着基础; ( 2) 绿色植物光合作用转移了二氧化碳,有助于碳酸钙沉积;( 3)生物群落为瀑布岩溶沉积提供了骨架; ( 4) 生物群落在一定程度上控制和影响了岩溶沉积形态。

普里兹湾及邻近海区表层沉积硅藻分布与环境分析

表层沉积物中硅藻的分布及组合特征对于研究相应的海洋环境有着重要的意义。东南极普里兹湾及其附近海域的22站表层沉积物中鉴定出硅藻36种,分属13属,其中Fragilariopsis curta在普里兹湾内占36.76%~66.36%,Fragilariopsis kerguelensis在湾外开阔水域占54.33%~70.95%。除趋势对应分析(DCA)显示研究区主要的10种硅藻分为开放水域种组合、近海冰种组合和海冰种组合,其表层沉积硅藻组合分布也分成3个区。作为硅藻极地开放海洋指示种的Fragilariopsis kerguelensis分布在普里兹湾外的深海平原,受湾内冰架水的限制,不能向湾内扩散;作为硅藻海冰指示种的Fragilariopsis curta主要分布在普里兹湾内的陆架上,受南极表层水和海冰的影响较重,在湾外受深水溶解作用而急剧减少;作为硅藻近海冰指示种的Thalassiosira antarctica的出现是受普里兹环流、冰架水和海冰的控制。研究区硅藻的组成和分布反映和验证了区域内环流的分布和扩散极限。     

老爷海潟湖内底层缺氧规模对南海季风气候节律的响应

在海南岛形成春旱时,老爷海潟湖内常常发生网箱养殖鱼类因缺氧(DO2mg/L或者30%)而迅速(1—2天内)大规模死亡的事件;然而,其中的缺氧成因至今仍未见相关研究报道。本文在2008—2011年对老爷海执行了7个航次的生物地球化学调查。在形成充沛春雨的2009年春季季风转换期所执行航次(气象条件表现为风速高和多雨)中,很难观察到底层缺氧现象;与此相对应,潟湖水体的垂直稳定度差,浮游植物群落以微微型(2μm)和微型(2—10μm)藻类占优势。在形成显著春旱的2010年春季季风转换期所执行航次(气象条件表现为微风和少雨)中有大规模底层缺氧形成,缺氧水体从内湾深坑水柱(水深约6m)底层一直蔓延到外湾浅水养殖区;与此相对应,内湾深坑水柱明显层化并形成高盐度生境,浮游植物群落以海洋角管藻(硅藻)占优势,而病毒丰度则达到所有7个航次调查中的最高值。在2008、2009和2011年西南季风盛行期所执行航次(气象条件表现为高温、微风和多雨)中都有小规模底层缺氧形成,且仅局限在内湾深坑底层水中;与此相对应,深坑水柱强烈层化并形成低盐度生境,浮游植物群落以微微型和微型藻类占优势。以上调查结果说明,老爷海潟湖内的底层缺氧规模对上界面的南海季风气候节律有着明显响应;其中,春旱气象条件在潟湖内湾所营造的水柱层化(阻碍复氧)和高盐度生境(有利于硅藻成为浮游植物群落优势种)相耦合,则可促成从潟湖内湾深坑底层一直蔓延到外湾网箱养殖区的大规模底层缺氧现象。

SPECIES COMPOSITION, HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONAL SUCCESSION OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN THE CHANNEL FROM DONGTING LAKE TO THE CHANGJIANG RIVER, CHINA

The species composition, horizontal distribution and seasonal succession of the phyto-plankton at five sampling stations in the channel between Dongting Lake and the Changjiang River, China were studied from May 1995 to December 1997. A total of 416 taxa were observed; diatoms comprised the most diverse taxonomic group representing 58.2 % of the total species. The β-mezotrophic indicators were 92 taxa or 22 % of the total, the a-mezotrophic or α, β-eutrophic indicators decreased distinctly to 20 taxa or 4.8 % of the total. The species number and composition of various phyla were approximately similar at Stations 1, 2, 3 and 4, but at Station 5 the number of species was the minimum and the ratio of diatoms to total phytoplankton in the number of species was the highest. In seasonal succession of the phytoplank-ton species, the number was the highest in May and June, lower in December, January, March and July in the channel. The dominant species were different in different months. The ratio of diatoms species number to blue green algae and green algae species number diminished gradually from winter to summer and autumn, and then increased gradually from autumn to winter and early spring in the annual cycle. Margalef, Simpson and Shannon—Weaver diversity indices changed in different months, their values were higher in winter, lower in summer. Nygaard‘s diatoms quotients were lower in winter, then in spring and autumn, higher in summer. These results indicated that the water quality was the best in winter, better in spring and autumn than in summer. The relationship between the structure of the phytoplankton communi-ty and the water environmental quality was discussed.
