甲烷通量在很大程度上控制着海底冷泉区生物地球化学过程及生态系统。缺氧甲烷氧化(AOM)作用是消耗CH4的一种重要途径,主要是由甲烷氧化古菌和硫酸盐还原菌共同调节的,其反应机制及碳循环可以利用生物标志物及其碳同位素比值来表征。这两种微生物所产生的特定生物标志物都具有相对负的δ13C值,且硫酸盐还原菌生物标志物的δ13C值要比古菌的略偏正,说明在AOM过程中,甲烷碳从古菌到细菌的传递。甲烷通量决定海底冷泉区微生物群落结构,通量高时以ANME-2古菌群落为主,而OH-AR和BIPH两个生物标志物指标可以指示古菌群落结构变化。所以,利用生物标志物及其δ13C值不仅能够证明AOM作用的存在和反应机制,还可以对冷泉区(尤其是古冷泉区)环境及微生物群落结构进行分析和重建。 相似文献

海底甲烷缺氧氧化与冷泉碳酸盐岩沉淀动力学研究进展 总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9
海底缺氧带甲烷氧化作用是一个重要的甲烷生物地球化学过程,已被许多地球化学现象所证实。甲烷缺氧氧化有效地减少了渗漏到海水和大气中的甲烷通量,但目前仅有的数据还不能很好地限定甲烷缺氧氧化在全球甲烷循环和全球碳循环中的作用。甲烷缺氧氧化的机理还存在争议,很可能是一个“反甲烷生成”过程。在许多天然气渗漏发育区域,由于甲烷缺氧氧化作用引起环境碱度的增加而沉淀冷泉碳酸盐岩,在海底表层沉积物中形成块状碳酸盐岩结壳。但冷泉碳酸盐岩生成所需的物理化学和生物地球化学条件在很大程度上还不清楚。数值计算表明,孔隙水中溶解足够量的甲烷、冷泉渗漏强度适中、较小的生物扰动作用有利于冷泉碳酸盐岩的生成,而过高的沉积速率则抑制冷泉碳酸盐岩结壳的生成。因此,海底发育冷泉碳酸盐岩可以指示天然气渗漏系统的演化特征。 相似文献

海洋沉积物中大部分甲烷会通过甲烷厌氧氧化作用(anaerobic oxidation of methane, AOM)而被消耗。早期研究表明,AOM可与硫酸盐、硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐的还原作用相耦合,从而有效减少甲烷向大气的排放。最近,金属依赖型AOM(metal-AOM,活性金属氧化物还原反应驱动的AOM)被证实存在于自然界沉积物和富集培养的样品中。但是,目前仍未从自然海洋环境中分离获得能够介导metal-AOM的微生物。对海洋沉积物中metal-AOM的研究大多聚焦于热液或冷泉等海洋特殊生境,一系列研究表明地质流体在这些海底化能自养生态系统的维持和演化方面起到了重要作用,并深刻影响全球地球化学循环,因此,该科学问题研究吸引了越来越多的注意力。本文讨论了可能参与海洋沉积物中metal-AOM的微生物类群及其地球化学证据,并在前人工作基础上,以冲绳海槽冷泉-热液共生区为例,提出一种新的metal-AOM作用机制。认为在全球冷泉-热液系统相互作用地区的调查有助于更好地探讨metal-AOM的发生机制及微生物在深海生境中分布的连通性问题。 相似文献

在有冷泉活动和水合物产出的海底环境中,甲烷氧化古细菌和硫酸盐还原细菌十分发育,它们主导着海底天然气(主要是甲烷)的缺氧氧化作用,并在海底碳循环和生物种群繁衍中发挥着重要作用。海底天然气渗漏活动区的甲烷氧化古细菌使渗漏CH4缺氧氧化为HCO3-,硫酸盐还原细菌使SO42-转化为HS-,从而使细菌微生物获得生命所需的能量,生物种群得以发育和繁衍。甲烷氧化古细菌有ANME-1、ANME-2、ANME-3三个种群,形成相应的醚类异戊二烯类和类异戊二烯烃类生物标志物。硫酸盐还原细菌有Desulfosarcina和Desulfococcus两个主要的细菌群落,形成二烃基甘油二醚和脂肪酸生物标志化合物。这种天然气渗漏区内微生物活动产生的生物标志化合物都具有特别负的碳同位素组成,δ13C值为-41.1‰~-95.6‰,说明微生物群落在生命代谢过程中摄取了来自甲烷的碳,同时也反映了天然气渗漏系统缺氧带存在的古细菌和硫酸盐还原细菌活动。 相似文献

海底沉积物-水界面溶解甲烷渗漏不仅是海底天然气水合物的存在标志和分解释放途径,也是冷泉生物群落的物质和能量来源,因其对海洋环境乃至全球变化的可能重要影响而日益引起人们关注,而海底原位观测及渗漏甲烷通量估算是理解上述问题的关键。目前国际上有两种较为成熟的海底甲烷通量观测方法:1流体渗漏速率原位测量配以室内甲烷浓度分析;2底栖室流体连续取样配以室内甲烷浓度分析,前者能灵敏反应冷泉渗漏速率的时序变化,而后者具有较高的甲烷通量测量准确度。随着甲烷传感器技术的发展,原位测量方法将大大提高甲烷通量测量精度、时间和分辨率。在可移动式观测平台上搭载甲烷传感器,同时进行近海底界面微尺度甲烷浓度梯度测量和湍流观测,不仅能够精细刻画近海底甲烷浓度变化、渗漏通量变化,并且非封闭环境能够最大限度地避免沉积物-水界面遭受扰动,使观测数据更接近海底真实环境,这成为未来海底原位观测的主要发展方向之一。除此之外,特征冷泉生物群落的分布已被广泛应用于将个别测量站位的观测结果扩展到整个区域的甲烷渗漏流量估算。目前,国外学者已经对部分典型海底冷泉区进行了渗漏甲烷通量估算,发现每个渗漏系统每年通过溶解形式向海水释放甲烷量约为6×103~1.35×107 mol,并且甲烷渗漏在时间上和空间上都是多变的,但还没能将单个冷泉系统的通量估算延伸到更大的时空尺度,这成为深入研究海底甲烷储库及其在全球碳循环和气候变化中的作用的瓶颈之一。 相似文献

定义了海域天然气水合物成矿带的上界面。指出在地球深部存在最原始的、从根本上不依靠光合作用来生存的生命系统。根据对ODP岩心样品中微生物数量的统计,海底以下沉积层中的生物数量可能占据全球原核生物总量的70%,其生物总碳量和地球表面所有植物的碳总量相当。地球内部如此巨大的生物总量应该在地壳中的气体分布等方面起着重要作用。甲烷在地壳层中广泛存在,并主要是微生物成因的。微生物产甲烷的途径主要有两个,一是二氧化碳还原,另一个是醋酸盐发酵。相应地,参与产甲烷的微生物菌群主要是产甲烷菌和食醋酸菌。甲烷在沉积层中的厌氧氧化是一个不争的事实。该过程发生在海底以下一个非常局限的区带,称为硫酸盐还原-甲烷厌氧氧化区带。通常,这个区带很窄,仅为一个面,因此,硫酸盐还原-甲烷厌氧氧化区带又称硫酸盐还原-甲烷厌氧氧化界面。这是一个基本的生物地球化学界面,在功能上它起到屏蔽甲烷向海底和大气逸散的作用,是一个巨大的甲烷汇。甲烷的厌氧氧化同样是一个由微生物介导的过程,参与此过程的微生物主要是食甲烷古菌和硫酸盐还原菌。硫酸盐还原-甲烷厌氧氧化界面在海洋沉积层中一般深可达海底以下上百米,浅可至海底。此界面为天然气水合物的上界面,该界面以上没有甲烷... 相似文献

海底天然气水合物藏是天然的巨型碳储藏库,是深部甲烷等烃类气体运移至海底过程中暂时的碳储,是地球碳循环过程的重要一环。冷泉通常与海底天然气水合物藏分解密切相关,是深源或浅层气及水合物分解气在海底发生渗漏的现象。该文根据国内外天然气水合物及冷泉系统勘查的最新动向,综述了与水合物及冷泉流体渗漏相关的羽状流、运移通道、海底微地形地貌等要素的海底原位观测技术,主要包括：走航式及坐底式原位观测、海面及低空渗漏甲烷观测、海底可视化观测、与水合物及冷泉相关的海底观测网络等。综合使用原位观测技术可以更细致、全面地描绘水合物和冷泉系统的时空“景象”,更好地协助厘清海底渗漏甲烷的归趋,拓展人类对深海独特生命绿洲的认知。 相似文献

杭州湾海底沉积物中蕴藏着大量的浅层生物气,作为温室气体CH4的重要载体,研究其甲烷厌氧氧化(AOM)及相关碳循环过程,对正确评估浅层生物气的生态环境效应具有重要的科学意义。通过对YS6孔柱状沉积物孔隙水、顶空气等地球化学参数的测试分析,基于质量平衡和碳同位素质量平衡原理,利用"箱式模型"定量研究了硫酸盐—甲烷转换带(SMTZ)内的碳循环过程。结果表明:SMTZ位于海底约6～8 mbsf沉积层,其内部碳循环过程除了包含有机质的硫酸盐还原(OSR)、AOM和碳酸盐沉淀(CP)反应外,还隐藏存在"AOM生成的溶解无机碳(DIC)"产甲烷反应(CR),反应速率分别为9.14、7.42、4.36、2.72 mmol·m~(-2)·a~(-1),而有机质降解产甲烷反应(ME)未发生。各反应对SMTZ内孔隙水DIC的补充贡献率为OSRAOMME,而对DIC的消耗贡献率CPCR。深部含甲烷沉积层向上扩散而来的CH4并不是驱动SMTZ内部SO42-还原的唯一电子供体,CR和OSR反应亦是导致进入SMTZ内硫酸盐扩散通量大于甲烷的重要因素,且SMTZ下边缘沉积层出现明显的13CH4亏损亦与CR反应有关。本研究认为,定量评估海底沉积物中AOM作用的相对强弱时,SMTZ内可能存在的"隐藏的"产甲烷作用(如CR、ME等)不能忽视。 相似文献

冷泉活动是现代深海极端环境系统之一，其在天然气水合物资源勘探、全球气候变化、极端环境生命活动等方面具有重要的科学研究意义。重建海底冷泉区氧化还原环境是研究其中生物地球化学过程、揭示甲烷渗漏活动特征的重要途径。近年来，大量矿物学及地球化学指标在冷泉系统氧化还原条件的恢复研究中获得了成功的应用。在前人研究的基础上，对自生矿物学标志、稀土元素、氧化还原敏感元素(Mo、U、Fe)和稳定同位素(钼同位素δ98Mo、铁同位素δ56Fe、硫同位素δ34S)等不同指标对氧化还原环境变化的响应机制进行了系统总结，从测试分析方法、后期成岩改造、单一指标的多解性等多个方面探讨了各指标的影响因素和当前仍存在的问题，并指出了未来该领域需进一步加强的关键研究方向。 相似文献

The influence of coupling mode of methane leakage and debris input on anaerobic oxidation of methane
Rui Xie Daidai Wu Jie Liu Guangrong Jin Tiantian Sun Lihua Liu Nengyou Wu 《海洋学报(英文版)》2021,40(8):78-88
Anaerobic oxidation of methane(AOM) is an important biogeochemical process, which has important scientific significance for global climate change and atmospheric evolution. This research examined the δ~(34)S, terrigenous clastic indices of TiO_2 and Al_2O_3, and times for formation of the Ba front at site SH1, site SH3 and site 973-4 in the South China Sea. Three different coupling mechanisms of deposition rate and methane flux were discovered. The different coupling mechanisms had different effects on the role of AOM. At site 973-4, a high deposition rate caused a rapid vertical downward migration of the sulphate–methane transition zone(SMTZ), and the higher input resulted in mineral dissolution. At site SH3, the deposition rate and methane flux were basically in balance,so the SMTZ and paleo-SMTZ were the most stable of any site, and these were in a slow process of migration. At site SH1, the methane flux dominated the coupled mode, so the movement of the SMTZ at site SH1 was consistent with the general understanding. Understanding the factors influencing the SMTZ is important for understanding the early diagenesis process. 相似文献

Characterizing lipid biomarkers in methanotrophic communities of gas hydrate-bearing sediments in the Sea of Okhotsk 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We studied specific lipid biomarkers of archaea and bacteria, that are associated with the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in a cold seep environment as well as the origin of sedimentary organic matter on the continental slope off NE Sakhalin in the Sea of Okhotsk. The organic geochemical parameters demonstrated that most of the sedimentary organic matter containing hydrate layers could be derived from marine phytoplankton and bacteria, except for a station (LV39-29H) which was remarkably affected by terrestrial vascular plant. Specific methanotrophic archaea biomarkers was vertically detected in hydrate-bearing cores (LV39-40H), coinciding with the negative excursion of the δ13Corg at core depths of 90–100 cm below the seafloor. These results suggest that methane provided from gas hydrates are already available substrates for microbes thriving in this sediment depth. In addition, the stable isotope mass balance method revealed that approximately 2.77–3.41% of the total organic carbon (or 0.036–0.044% dry weight sediment) was generated by the activity of the AOM consortium in the corresponding depth of core LV39-40H. On the other hand, the heavier δ13C values of archaeol in the gas hydrate stability zone may allow ongoing methanogenesis in deeper sediment depth. 相似文献

In order to investigate the response of authigenic minerals to gas hydrate geo-systems, the biogeochemical processes and its induced mineralization were predicted by employing the comprehensive reactive transport modeling approach. Based on the available data extracted from the northern continental slope area of the South China Sea, a 1-D vertical column model was developed. Three cases with different upward methane flux rates and three cases with different mineral compositions, i.e., a total of six cases were designed to investigate the effects of variations in the depth of sulfate methane transition zone (SMTZ) and in the mineral composition on the formation of authigenic minerals. The simulation results indicate that the SMTZ depth influenced by both the upward methane flux rate and the initial composition played an important role in the formation of authigenic minerals. The AOM reaction is intensive at the interface, and the precipitation amount of calcite is large, which is mainly controlled by AOM. When the methane leakage rate is 20 times higher than the base case, aragonite starts to precipitate. During the simulation, oligoclase, k-feldspar, smectite-Na, smectite-Ca, chlorite dissolved. Our study specific to this area as a starting point may provide a quantitative approach for investigating carbonate and pyrite formation in hydrate-bearing sediments accounting for methane oxidation and sulfate reduction. The method presented here and the model built in this study can be used for other sites with similar conditions. In addition, this study may serve as an indication for the potential natural gas hydrate reservoir in depth, and is also significant for marine carbon and sulfur cycle. 相似文献

南海东北部冷泉区沉积物中有机质来源的生物标志物分析与环境指示意义 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Multi-biomarker indexes were analyzed for two piston cores from potential cold seep areas of the South China Sea off southwestern Taiwan. Total organic carbon(TOC) normalized terrestrial(n-alkanes) and marine(brassicasterol, dinosterol, alkenones and iso-GDGTs) biomarker contents and ratios(TMBR, 1/Pmar-aq, BIT) were used to evaluate the contributions of terrestrial and marine organic matter(TOM and MOM respectively) to the sedimentary organic matter, indicating that MOM dominated the organic sources in Core MD052911 and the sedimentary organic matter in Core ORI-_(86)0-22 was mainly derived from terrestrial inputs, and different morphologies were the likely reason for TOM percentage differences. BIT results suggested that river-transported terrestrial soil organic matter was not a major source of TOM of sedimentary organic matter around these settings.Diagnostic biomarkers for methane-oxidizing archaea(MOA) were only detected in one sample at 172 cm depth of Core ORI-_(86)0-22, with abnormally high iso-GDGTs content and Methane Index(MI) value(0.94). These results indicated high anaerobic oxidation of methane(AOM) activities at or around 172 cm in Core ORI-_(86)0-22.However in Core MD052911, MOA biomarkers were not detected and MI values were lower(0.19–0.38), indicated insignificant contributions of iso-GDGTs from methanotrophic archaea and the absence of significant AOM activities. Biomarker results thus indicated that the discontinuous upward methane seepage and insufficient methane flux could not induce high AOM activities in our sampling sites. In addition, the different patterns of TEX_(86) and U_(37)~(K′) temperature in two cores suggested that AOM activities affected TEX_(86)37 temperature estimates with lower values in Core ORI-_(86)0-22, but not significantly on TEX_(86) temperature estimates in Core MD052911. 相似文献

Gas hydrate decomposition recorded by authigenic barite at pockmark sites of the northern Congo Fan 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Sabine Kasten Kerstin N?then Christian Hensen Volkhard Spie? Martin Blumenberg Ralph R. Schneider 《Geo-Marine Letters》2012,32(5-6):515-524
The geochemical cycling of barium was investigated in sediments of pockmarks of the northern Congo Fan, characterized by surface and subsurface gas hydrates, chemosynthetic fauna, and authigenic carbonates. Two gravity cores retrieved from the so-called Hydrate Hole and Worm Hole pockmarks were examined using high-resolution pore-water and solid-phase analyses. The results indicate that, although gas hydrates in the study area are stable with respect to pressure and temperature, they are and have been subject to dissolution due to methane-undersaturated pore waters. The process significantly driving dissolution is the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) above the shallowest hydrate-bearing sediment layer. It is suggested that episodic seep events temporarily increase the upward flux of methane, and induce hydrate formation close to the sediment surface. AOM establishes at a sediment depth where the upward flux of methane from the uppermost hydrate layer counterbalances the downward flux of seawater sulfate. After seepage ceases, AOM continues to consume methane at the sulfate/methane transition (SMT) above the hydrates, thereby driving the progressive dissolution of the hydrates “from above”. As a result the SMT migrates downward, leaving behind enrichments of authigenic barite and carbonates that typically precipitate at this biogeochemical reaction front. Calculation of the time needed to produce the observed solid-phase barium enrichments above the present-day depths of the SMT served to track the net downward migration of the SMT and to estimate the total time of hydrate dissolution in the recovered sediments. Methane fluxes were higher, and the SMT was located closer to the sediment surface in the past at both sites. Active seepage and hydrate formation are inferred to have occurred only a few thousands of years ago at the Hydrate Hole site. By contrast, AOM-driven hydrate dissolution as a consequence of an overall net decrease in upward methane flux seems to have persisted for a considerably longer time at the Worm Hole site, amounting to a few tens of thousands of years. 相似文献

南海北部琼东南盆地冷泉区表层沉积物微量元素的分析及其对甲烷渗漏的指示 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Recent studies have shown that specific geochemical characteristics of sediments can be used to reconstruct past methane seepage events. In this work, the correlation between the Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios of sediment samples is analyzed and the sulfate concentration profile in Site C14 from cold-seep sediments in the Qiongdongnan Basin in northern South China Sea is obtained. The results confirmed that, sulfate at 0–247 cm below sea floor(Unit I) is mainly consumed by organic matter sulfate reduction(OSR), while sulfate at 247–655 cm(Unit II) is consumed by both the OSR and the anaerobic oxidation of methane(AOM). In addition, the bottom sediment layer is affected by weak methane seepage. The Mo and U enrichment factors also exhibit similar trends in their respective depth profiles. The responses of trace elements, including Co/Al, Ni/Al, Cr/Al and Zn/Al ratios to methane seepage allowed the study of depositional conditions and methane seepage events. Based on the results, it is speculated that the depositional conditions of Unit II changed with depth from moderate conditions of sulfidic and oxic conditions to locally anoxic conditions, and finally to suboxic conditions due to methane fluid leakage. The stable isotope values of chromium-reducible sulfide produced by AOM and those of sulfide formed by OSR in the early diagenetic environment suffered serious depletion of 34 S. This was probably due to weak methane leakage, which caused the slower upward diffusion and the effect of early diagenesis on the samples. It is necessary to consider the effects of depositional environments and diagenesis on these geochemical parameters. 相似文献

Cold seeps are pervasive along the continental margin worldwide,and are recognized as hotspots for elemental cycling pathway on Earth.In this study,analyses of pore water geochemical compositions of one-400 cm piston core(S3) and the application of a mass balance model are conducted to assess methane-associated biogeochemical reactions and uncover the relationship of methane in shallow sediment with gas hydrate reservoir at the Makran accretionary wedge off Pakistan.The results revealed that approximately 77% of sulfate is consumed by the predominant biogeochemical process of anaerobic oxidation of methane.However,the estimated sulfate-methane interface depth is-400 cm below sea floor with the methane diffusive flux of 0.039 mol/(m~2·a),suggesting the activity of methane seepage.Based on the δ~(13)C_(DIC) mass balance model combined with the contribution proportion of different dissolved inorganic carbon sources,this study calculated the δ~(13)C of the exogenous methane to be-57.9‰,indicating that the exogenous methane may be a mixture source,including thermogenic and biogenic methane.The study of pore water geochemistry at Makran accretionary wedge off Pakistan may have considerable implications for understanding the specific details on the dynamics of methane in cold seeps and provide important evidence for the potential occurrence of subsurface gas hydrate in this area. 相似文献

硫酸盐-甲烷界面在富甲烷和含天然气水合物的海洋沉积区已经成为一个重要的生物地球化学识别边界.在硫酸盐-甲烷界面之上,沉积物中的硫酸盐因参与分解有机质和甲烷厌氧氧化反应而被消耗,而界面之下沉积物中的甲烷则不断生成,含量逐渐增加.根据该界面附近硫酸盐浓度和甲烷浓度的变化特征,可以判断该区甲烷流体通量的大小,从而指示下伏天然气水合物的可能赋存状况.南海北部陆坡的柱状沉积物孔隙水数据的分析显示,其硫酸盐-甲烷界面埋深比较浅,表明该海域的甲烷通量较高.这种高甲烷通量很可能是由下伏的天然气水合物所引起的,并暗示着该区下伏海底可能有天然气水合物沉积层赋存. 相似文献
