Silicon limitation on primary production and its destiny in Jiaozhou Bay, China——Ⅳ：Study on cross-bay transect from estuary to ocean

The authors analyzed the data collected in the Ecological Station Jiaozhou Bay from May 1991 to November 1994, including 12 seasonal investigations, to determine the characteristics, dynamic cycles and variation trends of the silicate in the bay. The results indicated that the rivers around Jiaozhou Bay provided abundant supply of silicate to the bay. The silicate concentration there depended on river flow variation. The horizontal variation of silicate concentration on the transect showed that the silicate concentration decreased with distance from shorelines. The vertical variation of it showed that silicate sank and deposited on the sea bottom by phytoplankton uptake and death, and zooplankton excretion. In this way, silicon would endlessly be transferred from terrestrial sources to the sea bottom. The silicon took up by phytoplankton and by other biogeochemical processes led to insufficient silicon supply for phytoplankton growth. In this paper, a 2D dynamic model of river flow versus silicate concentration was established by which silicate concentrations of 0.028–0.062 μmol/L in seawater was yielded by inputting certain seasonal unit river flows (m³/s), or in other words, the silicate supply rate; and when the unit river flow was set to zero, meaning no river input, the silicate concentrations were between 0.05–0.69 μmol/L in the bay. In terms of the silicate supply rate, Jiaozhou Bay was divided into three parts. The division shows a given river flow could generate several different silicon levels in corresponding regions, so as to the silicon-limitation levels to the phytoplankton in these regions. Another dynamic model of river flow versus primary production was set up by which the phytoplankton primary production of 5.21–15.55 (mgC/m²·d)/(m³/s) were obtained in our case at unit river flow values via silicate concentration or primary production conversion rate. Similarly, the values of primary production of 121.98–195.33 (mgC/m²·d) were achieved at zero unit river flow condition. A primary production conversion rate reflects the sensitivity to silicon depletion so as to different phytoplankton primary production and silicon requirements by different phytoplankton assemblages in different marine areas. In addition, the authors differentiated two equations (Eqs. 1 and 2) in the models to obtain the river flow variation that determines the silicate concentration variation, and in turn, the variation of primary production. These results proved further that nutrient silicon is a limiting factor for phytoplankton growth.

修武:千年古坑免遭一劫

近日,修武县国土资源局西村国土所及时制止一起盗采铁矿石行为,使该乡一"千年古坑"免遭破坏. 被当地人称为"千年古坑"的大水坑位于修武县北部山区西村乡黑岩村与孟泉村交界处,呈椭园形,长约50米,宽约30米,最深处约4米.此坑是自然形成,坑里的水是靠雨季和雪融水储存的.千百年来,黑岩和孟泉两村千余口人和牲畜就是靠吃这个水坑里的水生存的,坑里的水常年清澈见底,不用过滤不用沉淀可直接饮用.随着经济的发展,山区饮水条件的改善,此坑里的水现已成为黑岩村的牲畜饮用水.在上世纪70年代,黑岩村村民对坑内进行了清於,对已损坏的护坑石楞进行了维修,并作为历史古迹保护了下来.     

Biogenic silicate accumulation in sediments, Jiaozhou Bay

1 INTRODUCTION Silicate, or silicic acid (H4SiO4), is a very im- portant nutrient in the ocean. Unlike other major nu- trients such as phosphate and nitrate or ammonium, which are needed by almost all marine plankton, silicate is an essential chemical req…     

巴拉贡矿区低品位坡缕石粘土的成胶性能探讨

以改良库布齐沙漠为目的,结合坡缕石粘土特有的成胶性、吸附性和保水性能,用巴拉贡矿区的低品位坡缕石粘土进行了粘土成胶性能的研究.结果表明,在加入聚合物PAAS含量相同的条件下(与水的体积比为0.05mL/100 mL),球磨成胶和胶磨成胶的效果较好,两者的最佳土水比值相近,约20～21 g/100 mL,略高于棒磨成胶的18 g/100 mL,远高于均质成胶的6 g/100 mL.本研究为改良沙漠化土壤提供了新思路,同时为坡缕石矿物找到了新的应用领域,拓宽了低品位坡缕石粘土的市场.

Calculation of Environmental Capacity of Petroleum Hydrocarbon in Jiaozhou Bay

The method has been established to calculate the environmental capacity (ECo),surplus environment capacity (SECo) of water with respect to marine petroleum hydrocarbons associated with oil (PHAOs) and the self-purification capacity (SPCo) of main self-purification process to PHAOs in the Jiaozhou Bay, China, according to the dynamic model for distribution of marine PHAOs among multiphase environments. The variation of concentration of PHAOs in the Jiaozhou Bay is well simulated by the dynamic model. Based on the model.the ECo, SECo of water with respect to PHAOs in the Jiaozhou Bay were calculated during the last 10 years under the first-class and second-class quality standard requirement, according to SPCoof main self-purification process to PHAOs. The results show that about 200 tons of PHAOs could be discharged into the Jiaozhou Bay for maintaining the first class seawater quality standard, and about 600 tons of PHAOs for the second class seawater quality standard later.
