潮汐作用对河口区域温室气体的影响-以鳌江流域为例

Tidal ActionEffects on Estuarine Greenhouse Gases: A Case Study of the Aojiang River Basin

  • 摘要: 河口区域作为海陆过渡带,其水动力条件受潮汐驱动显著,从而影响水体理化性质与温室气体排放过程。本研究以浙江省温州市鳌江河口为研究对象,系统分析了上游、退潮与涨潮阶段水体环境因子的空间差异,并基于广义可加模型(GAM)探讨温室气体对多环境因子的非线性响应规律。结果表明,潮汐过程显著改变河口水体的盐度和溶解氧状况,盐度在退潮与涨潮阶段明显上升并表现出强烈的空间分异,而溶解氧在潮汐混合作用下显著下降,形成低氧环境。相比之中,氮、磷及有机碳等营养盐指标未表现出显著空间差异。温室气体排放对环境因子的响应具有明显的非线性特征。N₂O对水温呈“双峰型”响应,并随盐度升高而显著下降;CO₂在高温与低溶解氧条件下显著升高;CH₄对温度极为敏感,在潮汐引起的温度变化中呈显著波动,并受到高盐度的强烈抑制。基于此,本研究推测潮汐通过调控水体盐度、溶解氧水平及温度变化,共同控制了河口区域温室气体的排放格局。本研究揭示了潮汐作用对河口温室气体的调控,为理解河口地区温室气体排放机制及评估其对区域碳收支的影响提供了重要科学依据。

     

    Abstract: Estuarine zones, as transitional zones between land and sea, exhibit hydrodynamic conditions significantly influenced by tidal forces, which consequently impact water physicochemical properties and greenhouse gas emission processes. The study focused on the Aojiang river basin in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, systematically analyzing spatial variations in aquatic environmental factors during upstream, ebb tide, and flood tide phases. Based on generalized additive models (GAM), it explored the nonlinear response patterns of greenhouse gases to multiple environmental factors. The results indicate that tidal processes significantly alter salinity and dissolved oxygen conditions in estuarine waters. Salinity rises markedly during ebb and flood tides, exhibiting distinct spatial variation. Dissolved oxygen levels decline significantly under tidal mixing, creating hypoxic conditions. In comparison, nutrient indicators such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon showed no significant differences. The response of environmental factors to greenhouse gas emissions exhibits distinct nonlinear characteristics. N₂O exhibits a “biphasic” response to water temperature and decreases significantly with increasing salinity. CO₂ increases markedly under high temperature and low dissolved oxygen conditions. CH₄ shows extreme sensitivity to temperature, exhibiting significant fluctuations during tidal-induced temperature changes and being strongly suppressed by high salinity. Based on these findings, it is hypothesized that tidal forces collectively govern greenhouse gas emission patterns in estuarine regions by regulating water salinity, dissolved oxygen levels, and temperature dynamics. The study reveals tidal action regulation of estuarine greenhouse gases, providing crucial scientific evidence for understanding emission mechanisms and assessing the impact on regional carbon budgets.
