Geomorphological control of subsurface hydrology in the creekbank zone of tidal marshes     

Judson W. Harvey  Peter F. Germann  William E. Odum 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》1987,25(6)

A combination of field and numerical modeling methods was used to assess porewater movement in a narrow (20 m) Spartina marsh which was flooded regularly by tidal waters. Soil composition and soil hydraulic properties did not vary across the marsh or with depth. Hydraulic head was monitored on a transect perpendicular to the creekbank. During exposure of the marsh surface, hydraulic gradients were predominantly horizontal; vertical gradients were small or zero. Subsurface flow was directed from the marsh interior toward the creekbank. Approximately 141 of pore water were discharged laterally to the adjacent tidal creek per meter of creekbank over a complete tidal cycle.A numerical hydrological model was modified to simulate subsurface hydraulics in the creekbank vicinity of regularly flooded tidal marshes. The model was parameterized to represent soil conditions, tidal fluctuations and topography at the field site. Observed changes in hydraulic head over complete tidal cycles were accurately predicted by the model. Model simulations identified the vertical infiltration of creek water into the marsh surface at the onset of tidal flooding as the primary source (66%) for the replacement of water drained at the creekbank. Significant replacement (31%) also occurred as discharge from the interior marsh. Horizontal recharge at the creekbank was minimal (3%).A sensitivity analysis was conducted with the model to assess the relative importance of geomorphological factors and soil properties in controlling pore water export at the creekbank of tidal marsh soils. Each parameter was varied systematically over a realistic range for field conditions. Changes in marsh elevation exerted greater control over creekbank discharge than changes in soil hydraulic properties. More rapid turnover of pore water near creekbanks of higher elevation marshes is hypothesized.  相似文献   

胶州湾海域大型底栖生物的调查与研究     

朱爱美  叶思源  卢文喜 《海洋地质前沿》2006,22(10):24-27

根据2003年6月初对胶州湾海域的调查资料,分析了该海域的底栖生物的种类组成及生物量分布。共鉴定了40种底栖生物,平均总生物量为23.93g/m2,平均栖息密度为400个/m2。调查结果表明,生物量受盐度影响,而栖息密度受水深和有机质含量影响。胶州湾由于受污染缘故,多样性指数远低于3,生物群落呈非健康状态,并与20世纪90年代的调查结果相比较发现,生物量呈严重下降趋势,而栖息密度呈上升趋势。  相似文献

利用胶州湾现场黄色物质吸收系数测量数据,建立了胶州湾水域黄色物质反演的三种统计模式。与Bricaud和Pegau所建立的模式进行比较发现,胶州湾黄色物质均值模式中的S值比Pegau和Bricaud模式中的S值要小近一倍。为了进一步检验所建模式的真实性、可靠性,利用2003年3月12日—4月6日在黄、东海海域(120°30′05″E,35°59′46″N—123°27′04″E,36°00′04″N;122°12′50″E,30°45′40″N—125°00′26″E,30°00′10″N)81个站点的现场数据分别对已建的胶州湾模式和国外相应模式进行了比较、验证。结果表明,用胶州湾400均值模式、440均值模式、Bricaud模式和Pegau模式获得的黄色物质吸收系数计算值与现场同步实测值的误差平均值分别为-14.37%、-35.20%,0.19%和19.95%。对比值进行计算,给出胶州湾400均值模式、440均值模式、Bricaud模式和Pegau模式计算值与实测值的平均比值分别为0.85012、0.63932、0.98180和1.17541。同时,也给出胶州湾海域S值的变化区间为0.00166≤S≤0.02403。分析认为,胶州湾400均值模式和Bricaud模式优于胶州湾440均值模式和Pegau模式,在黄、东海海域有较好的适应性。  相似文献   

The phytoplankton bloom response to wind events and upwelled nutrients during the CoOP WEST study

In the coastal waters off northern California, seasonal wind-driven upwelling supplies abundant nutrients to be processed by phytoplankton productivity. As part of the Coastal Ocean Processes: Wind Events and Shelf Transport (CoOP WEST) study, nutrients, CO₂, size-fractionated chlorophyll, and phytoplankton community structure were measured in the upwelling region off Bodega Bay, CA, during May–June 2000, 2001 and 2002. The ability of this ecosystem to assimilate nitrate (NO₃) and silicic acid/silicate (Si(OH)₄) and accumulate particulate material (i.e. phytoplankton) was realized in all 3 years, following short events of upwelling-favorable winds, followed by periods of relaxed winds. This was observed as phytoplankton blooms, dominated by chlorophyll in cells greater than 5 μm in diameter, that reduced the ambient nutrients to zero. These communities were located over the near-shore shelf (<100 m depth) and were dominated by diatoms. An optimal window of 3–7 days of relaxed winds, following an upwelling pulse, was required for chlorophyll accumulation. The large-celled phytoplankton that result are likely important players in coastal new production and carbon cycling.  相似文献   

A regional analysis of new production on the northwest European shelf using oxygen fluxes and a ship-of-opportunity

Seasonal new production (g C m⁻²) estimates obtained from dissolved oxygen and nitrate concentrations in surface waters (5 m depth) along a track between the UK (Portsmouth) and northern Spain (Bilbao) are compared. An oxygen flux method, in combination with a ship of opportunity (SOO), was tested on the northwest European shelf for its value in distinguishing high production in frontal regions. Dissolved oxygen, nitrate and chlorophyll a samples were collected monthly from February to July 2004, alongside continuous autonomous measurements of salinity, temperature and chlorophyll fluorescence. Depth integrated new production estimates for all the individually analysed hydrographic regions of the route were produced.Results from three widely used gas-exchange parameterizations gave seasonal (February–July) new production estimates of 54–68 g C m⁻² for the Ushant region of the western English Channel and 31–40 g C m⁻² for the shelf slope, averaging 24–31 g C m⁻² for the route. This is double the route average obtained using the nitrate assimilation method (17 g C m⁻²) and within the ranges of previous estimates in the same region. The oxygen flux method gave a fivefold enhancement compared to the nitrate method in the Ushant frontal region and a threefold enhancement in the English Channel and shelf break regions. Determining oxygen fluxes to estimate new production may be more reliable than nitrate assimilation in active tidal or frontal regions of shelves where nitrate may be added to the system post-winter through advection or entrainment.  相似文献

通过对乐清湾野外考察、表层沉积物的粒度分析和水样的悬沙质量浓度分析，探讨了乐清湾现代沉积和悬沙质量浓度分布特征。研究结果表明，乐清湾现代沉积主要以细颗粒沉降为主，粉沙和粘土总含量占90％以上；悬沙质量浓度具有从湾口向湾内递减的变化趋势，湾口悬沙质量浓度为0．2～0．25kg／m^3，而湾内质量浓度小于0．01kg／m^3。半封闭性海湾和以外海来沙为主的物质来源共同决定沉积物的特征及悬沙质量浓度的空间变化规律，而泥沙来源及沉积过程的研究将为港湾治理工程提供重要的依据参数。  相似文献

利用2003年胶州湾调查资料，分析了浮游植物群落结构及其与温度和营养盐的相关性。结果表明，胶州湾浮游植物群落主要由硅藻和甲藻组成，生态类型为近岸广布种、温带种和暖温带种以及少数暖水种。浮游植物数量一年中出现2次高峰期，主高峰出现在9月，次高峰出现在2月，低值期在7月和10月至翌年1月期间。浮游植物数量较近几年继续降低，尤其是峰值。浮游植物在春季以角毛藻、丹麦细柱藻、中肋骨条藻和冰河拟星杆藻为优势种群，夏季至秋初暖水性近岸种中华齿状藻、泰晤式旋鞘藻和广温性种星脐圆筛藻占优势地位，而秋季至冬初羽纹硅藻和派格棍形藻逐渐占优势地位，并一直持续整个冬季。溶解无机氮、硅酸盐和磷酸盐与硅藻丰度无明显相关性（R^2〈0．1）。中心硅藻丰度与溶解态无机氮呈线性负相关（R^2=0．4399），而与硅酸盐和磷酸盐无明显相关性（R^2〈0．1）。群落多样性指数与中心硅藻丰度和硅酸盐呈线性相关（R^2=0．3198和0．4443）。  相似文献   

Biogeochemistry of Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the Surface Microlayer and Subsurface Seawater of Funka Bay,Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Twenty-eight sea surface microlayer samples, along with subsurface bulk water samples were collected in Funka Bay, Japan during October 2000–March 2001 and analyzed for dimethylsulfoniopropionate, dissolved (DMSP_d) and particulate (DMSP_p), and chlorophyll a. The aim of the study was to examine the extent of enrichment of DMSP in the microlayer and its relationship to chlorophyll a, as well as the production rate of dimethylsulfide (DMS) from DMSP and the factors that influence this. The enrichment factor (EF) of DMSP_d in the surface microlayer ranged from 0.81 to 4.6 with a mean of 1.85. In contrast, EF of DMSP_p in the microlayer varied widely from 0.85–10.5 with an average of 3.21. Chlorophyll a also appeared to be enriched in the microlayer relative to the subsurface water. This may be seen as an important cause of the observed enrichment of DMSP in the microlayer. The concentrations of DMSP_p in the surface microlayer showed a strong temporal variation, basically following the change in chlorophyll a levels. Moreover, the microlayer concentrations of DMSP_p were, on average, 3-fold higher than the microlayer concentrations of DMSP_d and there was a significant correlation between them. Additionally, there was a great variability in the ratios of DMSP_p to chlorophyll a over the study period, reflecting seasonal variation in the proportion of DMSP producers in the total phytoplankton assemblage. It is interesting that the production rate of DMS was enhanced in the microlayer and this rate was closely correlated with the microlayer DMSP_d concentration. Microlayer enrichment of chlorophyll a and higher DMS production rate in the microlayer provide favorable evidence supporting the view that the sea surface microlayer has a greater biological activity than the underlying water.  相似文献

根据2001年11月2--3日和12月8--10日在台湾南湾12个测站分别用2种圆锥形浮游生物网(长180cm，网口直径45cm，网目333μm或200μm)采集表层和底层的浮游动物样品，分析了南湾浮游海樽类的种类组成和数量分布，其鉴定海樽类16利，其中7种为台湾周围海域新记录。东方双尾纽鳃樽和小齿海樽为优势种。南湾海樽类的种类数及个体数量均以12月多于11月。讨论了水文条件与海樽类时空分布的关系，认为外海高盐水团足南湾冬季海樽类生态特征的主要制约因子。典型的高温高盐种大西洋火体虫、长吻纽鳃樽、安纽鳃樽、多手纽鳃樽、书氏纽鳃樽、羽环纽鳃樽和斑点纽鳃樽等可以作为外海高温高盐水入侵南湾的指标种。与邻近海域比较，秋冬季南湾与台湾岛以东海域海樽类的区系特征比与台湾海峡和南海北部更加相似。  相似文献
