大亚湾表层沉积物中生源要素的季节分布及污染评价

2006年7月至2007年11月采集了大亚湾10个采样点春、夏、秋和冬4季表层沉积物样品,分析了沉积物中的生物硅(BSi)、有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)含量。结果表明:大亚湾生源要素含量与国内外港湾相比属于中等水平;春季BSi、TP的平均含量分别为1.09%、0.043%;夏季BSi、TOC、TN、TP的平均含量分别为1.21%、1.05%、0.37%、0.043%;秋季BSi、TP的平均含量分别为0.99%、0.038%;冬季BSi、TOC、TN、TP的平均含量分别为1.09%、0.84%、0.11%、0.039%。根据TN/TP和TOC/TN比值判断,大亚湾沉积物为磷限制;夏季TOC主要来源于水生有机碳,冬季为混合来源。夏季表层沉积物中BSi、TOC、TN和TP的平均含量均高于其他季节;其中夏季各站位TN的含量较冬季要高,反映了夏季较高的硅藻生产力以及较丰富的地表径流。大亚湾大部分采样点TOC和TN的污染基本属于Ⅱ类,TP属于Ⅰ类,可能对底栖生物群落具有一定毒害作用。

Seasonal Distributions of Biogenic Elements and Contaminative Assessment in Surface Sediments from Daya Bay

The concentrations of biogenic elements including biogenic silica(BSi),total organic carbon(TOC),total nitrogen(TN) and total phosphorus(TP) in surface sediments collected from 10 sampling sites of Daya Bay beginning from July 2006 to November 2007 were determined.The results showed that the contents of biogenic elements from Daya Bay were at moderate levels compared with those obtained from worldwide coastal zones.Contents of BSi and TP were in the ranges of 0.60%-1.51%,and 0.035%-0.048%,respectively,with ...
