222Rn指示北部湾北部近海SGD输送的时空特征初探
A preliminary investigation on the spatial and temporal distribution of submarine groundwater discharge in the northern Beibu Gulf as indicated by 222Rn activities
放射性同位素氡222 (222Rn) 是来源于地层中铀衰变生成的惰性元素。由于其性质稳定,容易测量且在地下水和地表水中活度差异显著,近年来被用作示踪剂广泛应用在海底地下水排泄(submarine groundwater discharge,SGD)的研究中。本文选取北部湾北部海水的222Rn活度作为研究对象,通过2021年8月—9月以及12月—次年1月在北部湾北部海域的两个航次采样,分析了北部湾北部海域水体222Rn的空间分布和季节性变化特征,并结合222Rn的质量平衡模型,估算了北部湾北部海域的SGD通量。结果表明,222Rn分布特征受到季节变化和陆源SGD过程的显著影响,冬季222Rn活度的平均值与夏季相比减少了约40%。夏季底层水222Rn活度较高,断面特征显示SGD过程明显且多集中于研究区北部,而冬季底层水222Rn活度较低,断面特征显示SGD过程较弱。通过构建222Rn质量平衡模型,估算出北部湾北部海域夏季与冬季SGD速率分别为4.16 cm·d-1和2.88 cm·d-1。夏季SGD速率明显高于冬季,且夏季以近岸SGD过程为主,冬季以离岸SGD为主。北部湾北部海域存在着明显的SGD过程,而且由于该区域被陆地和岛屿三面环绕,SGD过程很可能是陆源物质向近岸海域输送的重要自然途径。
The radioactive isotope radon-222(222Rn) is an inert element derived from the decay of uranium in the earth’s strata. Due to its stability, ease of measurement and significant difference in activity between groundwater and surface water, it has been widely used as a tracer in the study of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in recent years. In this study, the 222Rn activity of seawater was selected as the object of study, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of 222Rn were analyzed, and the SGD flux was estimated through a 222Rn mass balance model, based on two cruises of August-September, 2021 and December, 2021-January, 2022 from the northern Beibu Gulf. The results show a spatial and temporal variation of 222Rn distribution which was significantly affected by the terrestrial SGD process. The mean 222Rn activity decreased by about 40% in winter compared with that in summer. In summer, there show high 222Rn activity in bottom water especially from the northern part of the research area with a strong SGD process, but with low 222Rn activity in winter with weak SGD process. Based on the 222Rn mass balance model, the SGD fluxes of 4.16 cm·d-1 in summer and 2.88 cm·d-1 in winter were calculated from the research area, which shows significantly high SGD flux in summer dominant with nearshore SGD and low SGD flux in winter dominant with offshore SGD. Since the research area is surrounded by land and islands, the SGD processes were likely to be an important natural pathway for the terrestrial sources transporting to the nearshore waters.

The exchange of groundwater between land and sea is a major component of the hydrological cycle. This exchange, called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), is comprised of terrestrial water mixed with sea water that has infiltrated coastal aquifers. The composition of SGD differs from that predicted by simple mixing because biogeochemical reactions in the aquifer modify its chemistry. To emphasize the importance of mixing and chemical reaction, these coastal aquifers are called subterranean estuaries. Geologists recognize this mixing zone as a site of carbonate diagenesis and dolomite formation. Biologists have recognized that terrestrial inputs of nutrients to the coastal ocean may occur through subterranean processes. Further evidence of SGD comes from the distribution of chemical tracers in the coastal ocean. These tracers originate within coastal aquifers and reach the ocean through SGD. Tracer studies reveal that SGD provides globally important fluxes of nutrients, carbon, and metals to coastal waters.

海底地下水排泄是全球水循环的重要组成部分,是近岸、滩涂和河口地区典型而重要的海水—地下水相互作用过程。作为全球水循环的重要组成部分,海底地下水排泄是海洋中水和各种化学物质的重要来源之一,同时也是各种污染物从陆地向海洋输送的一个重要而隐蔽的通道。综述了海底地下水排泄(SGD)的研究现状与进展,对海底地下水排泄的过程、研究方法、研究分布以及环境意义等方面进行了详细介绍,指出了目前研究存在的不足和需要努力的方向,从而为我国开展大规模海底地下水排泄研究提供了一定的思路。
Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD), an important component of global water cycle, typical and important seawater-groundwater interaction process in coasts, intertidal zones and estuaries, is recently recognized as a research highlight on the land-ocean interaction. As an important component of global water cycle, SGD is not only one of the important sources of water and chemicals in the ocean, but also an important but hidden pathway for various contaminants transport between land and ocean. This paper reviews the research status and progresses of SGD, with a detailed description of the groundwater discharge process, research methods and spatial distribution and their corresponding environmental significance, etc. The deficiencies in present studies and prospects for future research are proposed to provide some thoughts and scientific basis for the research of large-scale SGD in our country. |

The clam Meretrix meretrix was used as a biomonitor to implement an environmental monitoring program along the coast of Beibu Gulf in October 2011. This program not only analyzed biomarkers including acetylcholinesterase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, catalase and superoxide dismutase activities, total glutathione content and lipid peroxidation level in M. meretrix but also adopted a multi-biomarker approach - integrated biomarker response (IBR) to assess the environmental quality in this ecosystem. In addition, the metal (Hg, As, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and Cr) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) content in the surface sediment at the study area were also measured. The results showed that IBR index was able to distinguish a space trend between sampling sites with different degrees of anthropogenic environmental stress. Integrated contamination degree were displayed in the form of star plots and compared to IBR plots. There was a visual consistency between the pollution level and IBR variation. Based on the results, it was proved that the IBR method coupled with chemical analysis was quite useful for the assessment of environmental pollution in the coastal system.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Multiple tracers, including radium quartet, (222)Rn and silica are used to quantify submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into Tolo Harbor, Hong Kong in 2005 and 2011. Five geotracer models based on the end member model of (228)Ra and salinity and mass balance models of (226)Ra, (228)Ra, (222)Rn, and silica were established and all the models lead to an estimate of the SGD rate of the same order of magnitude. In 2005 and 2011, respectively, the averaged SGD based on these models is estimated to be ≈ 5.42 cm d(-1) and ≈2.66 cm d(-1), the SGD derived DIN loadings to be 3.5 × 10(5) mol d(-1) and 1.5 × 10(5) mol d(-1), and DIP loadings to be 6.2 × 10(3) mol d(-1) and 1.1 × 10(3) mol d(-1). Groundwater borne nutrients are 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than other nutrient sources and the interannual variation of nutrient concentration in the embayment is more influenced by the SGD derived loadings. Annual DIP concentrations in the harbor water is positively correlated with the precipitation and annual mean tidal range, and negatively correlated with evapotranspiration from 2000 to 2013. Climatologically driven SGD variability alters the SGD derived DIP loadings in this phosphate limited environment and may be the causative factor of interannual variability of red tide outbreaks from 2000 to 2013. Finally, a conceptual model is proposed to characterize the response of red tide outbreaks to climatological factors linked by SGD. The findings from this study shed light on the prediction of red tide outbreaks and coastal management of Tolo Harbor and similar coastal embayments elsewhere.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
