| 2 | Submarine groundwater discharge and seasonal hypoxia off the Changjiang River Estuary显示文摘Hypoxia is a common phenomenon in the sea adjacent to the Changjiang River Estuary(CJE),one of the global major estuaries.Submarine groundwater discharge(SGD)is a widely recognized pathway for terrestrial materials entering the sea,and has been found to be significant off the CJE.We used a^(222)Rn mass balance model to estimate the SGD fluxes off the CJE and showed that it is linked to seasonal dissolved oxygen(DO)variations.Average SGD fluxes were estimated to be(0.012±0.010)m^(3)/(m^(2)·d)in winter,(0.034±0.015)m^(3)/(m^(2)·d)in summer,and(0.020±0.010)m^(3)/(m^(2)·d)in autumn.We found a significant negative correlation between DO concentrations and SGD rates with groundwater discharge being highest in the summer flood season.In addition,distribution patterns of SGD and hypoxia zones in summer are spatially overlapped,indicating that SGD is an important contributor to summer hypoxia in this region. | Tianyi Zhu Bochao Xu Xiaoyi Guo Qinsheng Wei Ergang Lian Pengxia Liu William C.Burnett Qingzhen Yao Zhigang Yu | 2023 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2023，42，8： | 0 |
| 3 | Submarine groundwater discharge and benthic biogeochemical zonation in the Huanghe River Estuary显示文摘Submarine groundwater discharge(SGD)has received increasing attention by studies on coastal areas;however,its effects on biogeochemical zonation have not been investigated to date.The Huanghe River Estuary(HRE)is a world class river estuary with high turbidity,and heavy human regulation.This study investigated how SGD is related to the benthic biogeochemistry of the HRE.Based on the distribution of several parameters(e.g.,salinity,temperature,dissolved oxygen(DO)levels,p H,radium isotopes,and nutrients),the HRE was subdivided into six different zones,and the SGD fluxes within each zone were quantified and compared.The highest SGD flux was found in the northwest nearshore zone,where it was more than one order of magnitude higher than in the offshore zone.High SGD resulted in low DO and p H,but high nutrient levels in the benthic boundary layer.The southeast nearshore zone was also characterized by high SGD flux,but benthic waters were more oxic because of the dominating inputs by the Huanghe River.These data suggest that such a zonation would help to understand benthic biogeochemical processes.High SGD may not only contribute to the estuarine nutrient budget,but may also contribute to the formation of hypoxia and acidification. | Guangquan Chen Bochao Xu Shibin Zhao Disong Yang William C.Burnett Shaobo Diao Maosheng Gao Xingyong Xu Lisha Wang | 2022 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2022，41，1： | 0 |
