摘要:

由于存在极高的初级生产和高效的碳代谢速率, 珊瑚礁海域二氧化碳(CO2)的汇/源属性仍存有争议。为了明晰我国亚热带珊瑚礁海域CO2的源、汇特征及驱动因素,基于2023年5月的海上调查结果并结合室内培养实验数据,本文探究了春季大澳湾(珊瑚礁海域)海水CO2分压(pCO2)的分布特征及主要控制机制。结果表明:春季大澳湾海水pCO2的范围为412.9~555.7 μatm,主要表现为大气CO2的源,平均释放通量为0.53±0.90 mmol·m-2·d-1。调查期间,pCO2整体呈现近岸高于远岸的分布特征,这主要受到生物活动(净呼吸)和陆源淡水输入的共同控制。此外,海水pCO2的日周期变化显著,其差值最高可达168 μatm。生物活动(光合和呼吸作用)的昼夜差异是导致pCO2日变化的主要因素,在礁区和非礁区对pCO2日变化的贡献分别为89.4%和66.4%。物理过程(温度和潮汐作用)对pCO2昼夜变化的影响较小,其中温度变化在礁区和非礁区的贡献分别为12.7%和21.5%,其作用远低于生物过程。此外,近岸珊瑚的代谢过程可能会显著提升大澳湾局部(礁区)的pCO2,增强海域的CO2源属性。

Abstract:

Based on the field survey in May 2023 along with data obtained from indoor culture experiments, the distribution characteristics of seawater partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and its main control mechanisms in Daao Bay (coral reefs region) in spring were explored. The pCO2 in Daao Bay ranged from 412.9 to 555.7 μatm in spring, and the study area acted as a source for atmospheric CO2 with the average efflux of 0.53±0.90 mmol·m-2·d-1. During the survey period, the horizontal distribution of pCO2 was generally higher in nearshore area than that in offshore zone, which was mainly controlled by biological activities (net respiration) and coastal terrestrial input. In addition, pCO2 showed significant diurnal variation with a maximum difference of 168 μatm. Diurnal differences in biological activities (photosynthesis and respiration) were the main factors leading to changes in pCO2, contributing 89.4% and 66.4% of pCO2 in the reef and non-reef areas, respectively. In comparison, physical processes (temperature and tidal effects) had a weak effect on the pCO2 dynamic, and the temperature effect contributed 12.7% and 21.5% of pCO2, which was much lower than that of biological processes. Furthermore, the metabolic activity of corals might increase the pCO2 in the local (reef area) of Daao Bay and enhance the CO2 source properties of the sea area.
