Seasonal Changes in Phytoplankton Biomass and Dominant Species in the Changjiang River Estuary and Adjacent Seas：General Trends Based on Field Survey Data 1959-2009

The characteristics of seasonal variation in phytoplankton biomass and dominant species in the Changjiang River Estuary and adjacent seas were discussed based on field investigation data from 1959 to 2009. The field data from 1981 to 2004 showed that the Chlorophyll-a concentration in surface seawater was between 0.4 and 8.5 ktg dm-3. The seasonal changes generally presented a bimodal trend, with the biomass peaks occurring in May and August, and Chlorophyll-a concentration was the lowest in winter. Seasonal biomass changes were mainly controlled by temperature and nutrient levels. From the end of autumn to the next early spring, phytoplankton biomass was mainly influenced by temperature, and in other seasons, nutrient level （including the nutrient supply from the terrestrial runoffs） was the major influence factor. Field investigation data from 1959 to 2009 demonstrated that dia- toms were the main phytoplankton in this area, and Skeletonerna costatum, Pseudo-nitzschia pungens, Coscinodiscus oculus-iridis, Thalassinoema nitzschioides, Paralia sulcata, Chaetoceros lorenzianus, Chaetoceros curvisetus, and Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu were common dominant species. The seasonal variations in major dominant phytoplankton species presented the following trends： 1） Skeletonema （mainly S. costatum） was dominant throughout the year; and 2） seasonal succession trends were Coscinodiscus （spring） →Chaetoceros （summer and autumn） → Coscinodiscus （winter）. The annual dominance of S. costatum was attributed to its environmental eurytopicity and long standing time in surface waters. The seasonal succession of Coscinodiscus and Chaetoceros was associated with the seasonal variation in water stability and nutrient level in this area. On the other hand, long-term field data also indicated obvious interannual variation of phytoplankton biomass and community structure in the Changjiang River Estuary and adjacent seas： average annual phytoplankton biomass and dinoflagellate proportion both presented inc     

河口海岸区GPS高程异常的空间特征与拟合研究

为了实现河口海岸区GPS大地高向正常高的转换,就需要掌握该区高程异常的空间特征并进行高精度的拟合研究.文章以福建闽江口为研究区,综合应用半方差函数以及整体和局部逼近拟合方法对闽江口测区GPS高程异常进行研究.结果表明:闽江口GPS高程异常在空间上可用高斯和球状半方差函数进行表达,水平分布上呈海区至陆地逐渐变小的分带规律性;二次曲面和Shepard分区加权方法对研究区高程异常的整体拟合和局部逼近结果具有相似的累积频率分布和外符合精度,而两者的组合模型较之单一拟合方法在精度上提高42.9％～55.2％,可获得较为稳健的拟合结果,适用于该地形条件复杂的河口海岸区.     

鸭绿江口主汊道常量元素沉积记录的特征及其意义

本文依据鸭绿江口主汊道采集的K1和K12柱状样,进行了常量元素的富集特征、相关系数、主成分分析及含量与特征参数垂向分布的讨论。研究表明:鸭绿江口属于涨潮三角洲,纳潮海湾泥质堆积区快速沉积的时间始于1960年。主汊道的沉积物具有多源性,K12柱状样受粒度控制显著,陆源碎屑为主;K1柱状样受粒度控制不显著,受海洋作用的影响较大。主汊道的沉积记录以1978年为界,分为上下2个沉积单元。主汊道的沉积物受到河口区水动力的强烈改造,与物源区的沉积物相比已经产生了很多的分异和变化。该研究通过对鸭绿江口主汊道常量元素沉积记录的分析,发现了近百年来该区域地貌演变和发育的规律,有效补充了鸭绿江口新生陆地形成过程的全貌。     

春季长江口及其邻近海域溶解有机物的分布、组成及降解行为研究

2021年3月对长江口及其邻近海域9个断面溶解氨基酸(THAA)、溶解有机碳(DOC)和溶解有机氮(DON)的分布和组成进行了调查研究。结果表明:THAA的浓度范围为1.24~4.71μmol/L,平均浓度为(2.61±0.85)μmol/L;DOC的浓度范围为118.17~450.58μmol/L,平均浓度为(149.73±33.34)μmol/L;DON的浓度范围为10.48~24.45μmol/L,平均浓度为(13.80±1.81)μmol/L。THAA、DOC和DON的水平分布表现出近岸高于远岸的特点,表明陆源输入对调查区域的THAA等分布有重要影响。而THAA与D-天门冬氨酸、D-谷氨酸、D-丝氨酸和D-丙氨酸的D/L比均呈显著负相关,与天门冬氨酸/β-丙氨酸(Asp/β-Ala)呈正相关,表明细菌活动是影响THAA浓度变化的重要因素。长江口及邻近海域的优势氨基酸为L型氨基酸,D型氨基酸和非蛋白型氨基酸的占比仅为7.34%。基于C/N比值分析,长江口及其邻近海域溶解有机物(DOM)的来源受到长江冲淡水和台湾暖流的共同影响。THAA-C%、THAA-N%、降解因子和反应活性指数表明:水平方向上盐度接近于0的淡水区域和盐度高于34的远海区域降解程度较高;垂直方向上随着深度的增加,有机物的降解程度逐渐升高。调查区域有机物的降解程度主要受到陆源输入和细菌活动的影响。     

夏季长江口海域溶解态铁的分布及混合行为研究

本文基于2015年7月长江口的现场调查资料,分析讨论了长江河口区溶解态铁(DFe)的含量分布与混合行为及其影响因素。结果表明:长江径流携带大量的DFe入海,且口内区(Ⅰ)浓度高于混合区(Ⅱ)和外海区(Ⅲ),平均浓度分别为166.45±6.26nmol/L,14.04±8.80nmol/L和6.18±1.51nmol/L。受去除作用和海水稀释的影响,在河口区DFe的浓度下降率达到96.92%。DFe浓度与盐度的关系符合指数模型,由模型与理论稀释线估算的长江口海域DFe的理论最大去除率为97.75%,与实际测得的最大浓度下降率相近。长江冲淡水、苏北沿岸流和台湾暖流影响DFe的水平分布。受长江冲淡水影响,长江口外海域DFe浓度高达176.50nmol/L。苏北沿岸流主要影响研究区域北部的表层水,其携带的DFe浓度低于长江冲淡水。台湾暖流是导致研究区域东南部DFe浓度较低的主要原因,使得中层和底层水中浓度分别低至4.04nmol/L和4.79nmol/L。另外,在表层海水中DFe的分布受到叶绿素a、溶解有机碳和溶解氧的共同影响,DFe与叶绿素a、溶解氧呈显著负相关,与溶解有机碳呈显著正相关。

为加强闽江流域的环境治理以及支撑闽江口重金属污染的管控工作,文章基于闽江口14个采样站位的实测数据,综合运用相关性分析、主成分分析和潜在生态风险指数等方法,系统评价闽江口表层沉积物重金属分布及其潜在生态风险。研究结果表明:闽江口表层沉积物重金属含量差异显著,除个别站位的锌和汞外,其他重金属含量均符合第一类海洋沉积物质量标准;影响铅分布的主要因素是工业排污,影响其他重金属元素分布的主要因素是有机质和沉积环境;闽江口表层沉积物重金属潜在生态风险的低风险程度和中风险程度占比分别为71.43%和28.57%,其中琅岐岛的东部和南部为中风险区,琅岐岛的北部和东北部以及川石水道外侧为低风险区;镉和汞为主要潜在生态风险重金属元素,达到较高风险程度,须加强风险监控。

底物和电子受体对互花米草湿地沉积物甲烷产生潜力的影响

采用室内厌氧培养法研究闽江河口潮汐盐湿地甲烷产生不同底物(醋酸、甲醇和三甲胺)及电子受体(SO42-、NO3-和NH4+)对外来入侵种互花米草Spartinaalterniflora湿地表层沉积物甲烷产生潜力的影响,结果表明:盐湿地非竞争性甲烷产生底物中的甲醇对互花米草湿地表层沉积物甲烷产生潜力的促进作用最大,高于醋酸和三甲胺,且3种底物的添加均在培养5d后对沉积物甲烷产生潜力的促进作用最为明显;随着培养时间的增加,不同浓度的SO42-、NO3-、NH4+的添加对沉积物甲烷产生潜力的影响呈现出抑制作用或无抑制作用2种结果,添加电子受体的浓度越高,对沉积物甲烷产生潜力的抑制作用越显著。     

Links between saltwater intrusion and subtidal circulation in the Changjiang Estuary: A model-guided study

In this paper we discuss the links between saltwater intrusion and subtidal circulation in the Changjiang Estuary based on a 3D numerical model. We restricted our study mainly to the three major outlets of the estuary: the South Passage, the North Passage, and the North Channel. Subtidal transport is landward in the South Passage and NNW- or NW-ward on the shoals, whereas it is mainly seaward in the North Passage and North Channel. Such a residual characteristic is caused by the interaction between tide and shallow water depth. Decomposing analysis indicated that Stokes transport is the major mechanism causing this particular residual transport pattern. Under its influence, the South Passage is the most saline outlet and the North Channel is the major route discharging the Changjiang runoff. Results of a tracer experiment indicated that active water mass exchange occurs from the South Passage to the North Passage and finally to the North Channel. Thus, the salinity in each outlet is determined not only by the tidal-averaged diversion ratio around the bifurcation of the South and North Channels but also by the subtidal circulation in the waterways and on the shoals. The northerly wind produces a horizontal circulation around the river mouth, which flows into the estuary in the North Channel and out of the estuary in the South Channel and South Passage. This circulation increases the salinity in the North Channel and decreases it in the South Passage. Recent engineering projects have intensified the landward residual in the South Passage, thereby increasing the salinity in the South Passage and decreasing the salinity in the North Channel.     

长江三角洲亚三角洲地层结构对比

依据对江苏省泰兴市黄桥镇钻孔和海门市钻孔、上海长兴岛钻孔地层岩心沉积特征的研究,讨论 了冰后期以来长江三角洲河口地区的层序地层。研究表明,沿古河谷纵剖面各河段地层中沉积相组合关系有明 显区别。在古河谷下端地区,下切河谷充填层序自下而上由河流相、河口湾相、浅海相和三角洲相组成,沉积 相组合最完整。在古河谷上端地区,由于河口湾在海侵发生时存在着涌潮作用,因此,河漫滩泥质沉积层顶部 的冲刷面被确定为最大海泛面,其上覆稳定的河口砂体;浅海相和河口湾相沉积在该区域变薄直至尖灭;层序 顶部由中潮坪突变为高潮坪,最终形成泛滥平原。这意味着,原先确定的自西向东的长江三角洲的几个亚三角 洲或河口砂体沉积,并非都具有向上变粗的三角洲层序。文中报道的３个钻孔,揭露了冰后期长江三角洲完整 的下切河谷充填层序。河口湾顶不具备三角洲层序的地区应称为滨海平原。
