摘要

本研究基于2022年3月在杭州湾海域的航次调查,阐述了春季杭州湾及其邻近海域溶解氧化亚氮(N2O)的空间分布特征与海-气交换通量,并分析其影响因素。 结果表明,春季杭州湾及其邻近海域表层水体溶解N2O的浓度与饱和度范围分别为12.5~21.3 nmol·L-1和115%~183%,其中,上、中、下游N2O浓度平均值分别为17.2±2.9、14.1±0.8和13.2±0.7 nmol·L-1,饱和度平均值分别为151%±17%、125%±6%和123%±6%,所有站位的溶解N2O均处于过饱和状态。表层水体N2O浓度和饱和度的分布显示出明显的空间差异性,高值集中在上游,且自西向东逐渐递减,中、下游呈现自北向南逐渐递减的趋势。温度、河口混合、河流输入和生物过程对春季杭州湾及其邻近海域溶解N2O的分布具有重要影响。N2O海-气交换通量范围为11.4~71.2 μmol·m-2·d-1,平均值为29.5±16.0 μmol·m-2·d-1。与国内其他河口、海湾相比,杭州湾的N2O海-气交换通量相对较高,N2O释放潜力大。根据海域面积,本研究初步估算春季杭州湾及其邻近海域N2O的释放量为3.5×105 mol·d-1,表明其在大气N2O排放中扮演着重要的角色。

Abstract

Based on a survey in Hangzhou Bay in March 2022, the distribution and sea-air exchange flux of N2O in Hangzhou Bay and its adjacent waters in spring were investigated, and the influencing factors were analyzed. The dissolved N2O concentration and saturation of surface water were 12.5-21.3 nmol·L-1 and 115%-183%, respectively. The average N2O concentration in the upper, middle and lower waters were 17.2±2.9, 14.1±0.8 and 13.2±0.7 nmol·L-1, respectively, and the average saturation were 151%±17%, 125%±6% and 123%±6%, respectively. Dissolved N2O in all sampling sites were in a supersaturated state. The spatial distribution of N2O concentration and saturation in the surface water exhibited significant variations, with high values concentrated in the upstream area and gradually decreasing from west to east, while these showed a decreasing trend from north to south in middle and lower areas. The distribution of N2O in the Hangzhou Bay and its adjacent waters was influenced by multiple factors such as temperature, estuarine mixing, river input and in situ bioproduction. The sea-air N2O exchange flux ranged from 11.4 to 71.2 μmol·m-2·d-1, with an average of 29.5±16.0 μmol·m-2·d-1. Comparing with other domestic estuaries and bays, this is relatively high in Hangzhou Bay, indicating a significant potential for N2O release. Combining the sea-air exchange flux and sea area, this study preliminarily estimated that the N2O emission in Hangzhou Bay and its adjacent waters in spring was 3.5×105 mol·d-1, indicating its important role in atmospheric N2O emissions.

By comparing the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances, we show that N2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-depleting emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century. N2O is unregulated by the Montreal Protocol. Limiting future N2O emissions would enhance the recovery of the ozone layer from its depleted state and would also reduce the anthropogenic forcing of the climate system, representing a win-win for both ozone and climate.

Nitrous oxide is a powerful, long-lived greenhouse gas, but we know little about the role of estuarine areas in the global N2 O budget. This review summarizes 56 studies of N2 O fluxes and associated biogeochemical controlling factors in estuarine open waters, salt marshes, mangroves, and intertidal sediments. The majority of in situ N2 O production occurs as a result of sediment denitrification, although the water column contributes N2 O through nitrification in suspended particles. The most important factors controlling N2 O fluxes seem to be dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and oxygen availability, which in turn are affected by tidal cycles, groundwater inputs, and macrophyte density. The heterogeneity of coastal environments leads to a high variability in observations, but on average estuarine open water, intertidal and vegetated environments are sites of a small positive N2 O flux to the atmosphere (range 0.15-0.91; median 0.31; Tg N2 O-N yr(-1) ). Global changes in macrophyte distribution and anthropogenic nitrogen loading are expected to increase N2 O emissions from estuaries. We estimate that a doubling of current median NO3 (-) concentrations would increase the global estuary water-air N2 O flux by about 0.45 Tg N2 O-N yr(-1) or about 190%. A loss of 50% of mangrove habitat, being converted to unvegetated intertidal area, would result in a net decrease in N2 O emissions of 0.002 Tg N2 O-N yr(-1). In contrast, conversion of 50% of salt marsh to unvegetated area would result in a net increase of 0.001 Tg N2 O-N yr(-1). Decreased oxygen concentrations may inhibit production of N2 O by nitrification; however, sediment denitrification and the associated ratio of N2 O:N2 is expected to increase.© 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Assessment of the global budget of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide ([Formula: see text]O) is limited by poor knowledge of the oceanic [Formula: see text]O flux to the atmosphere, of which the magnitude, spatial distribution, and temporal variability remain highly uncertain. Here, we reconstruct climatological [Formula: see text]O emissions from the ocean by training a supervised learning algorithm with over 158,000 [Formula: see text]O measurements from the surface ocean-the largest synthesis to date. The reconstruction captures observed latitudinal gradients and coastal hot spots of [Formula: see text]O flux and reveals a vigorous global seasonal cycle. We estimate an annual mean [Formula: see text]O flux of 4.2 ± 1.0 Tg N[Formula: see text], 64% of which occurs in the tropics, and 20% in coastal upwelling systems that occupy less than 3% of the ocean area. This [Formula: see text]O flux ranges from a low of 3.3 ± 1.3 Tg N[Formula: see text] in the boreal spring to a high of 5.5 ± 2.0 Tg N[Formula: see text] in the boreal summer. Much of the seasonal variations in global [Formula: see text]O emissions can be traced to seasonal upwelling in the tropical ocean and winter mixing in the Southern Ocean. The dominant contribution to seasonality by productive, low-oxygen tropical upwelling systems (>75%) suggests a sensitivity of the global [Formula: see text]O flux to El Niño-Southern Oscillation and anthropogenic stratification of the low latitude ocean. This ocean flux estimate is consistent with the range adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, but reduces its uncertainty by more than fivefold, enabling more precise determination of other terms in the atmospheric [Formula: see text]O budget.
