摘要:

溶解性有机质(dissolved organic matter, DOM)是生物地球化学反应的重要驱动因子, 河口海湾水体DOM组分特征及其来源对海域生态环境具有重要影响。本研究于2024年8月至2025年6月期间, 以平陆运河—钦州湾入海口为研究区域进行多批次采样, 综合运用紫外-可见吸收光谱与三维荧光光谱-平行因子技术分析采集的样品, 旨在系统解析水体中溶解性有机质的组分特征与来源。研究结果表明, 钦州湾表层水体溶解有机碳(dissolved organic carbon, DOC)范围为1.31~9.14mg·L−1。其中, 2025年2月平均浓度最低, 为(2.11±0.38)mg·L−1, 2024年10月平均浓度最高, 为(7.53±1.43)mg·L−1。同时, 空间上呈现出从平陆运河河口向茅尾海降低, 但湾外浓度有所回升。钦州湾水体中DOM识别出3种荧光组分: 类腐殖质C1(Ex/Em=240/430nm)、类蛋白质C2(Ex/Em=245/300nm)和C3(Ex/Em=250, 275/350nm), 各组分相对占比存在着季节变化。在丰水期, DOM类腐殖质组分(C1)相对占比高达60%~81%, 同时芳香性指数和腐殖化指数(humification index, HIX)显著升高, 表明水体中DOM是由河流输送的大量芳香性强、腐殖化程度高的陆源类腐殖质; 枯水期类蛋白组分(C2+C3)占比超过60%, 芳香性指数(<1.5)和HIX降至极低水平, 而生物源指数(biological index, BIX)升高, 此阶段以内源自生源和人为源为主。盐度与类腐殖质组分C1(r=−0.96, P<0.01)呈显著负相关, 与DOC浓度(r=−0.23, P>0.05)和类酪氨酸组分C2(r=−0.08, P>0.05)无显著相关性, 表明陆源DOM在河口的混合过程复杂。与长江口、黄河口等大型自然河口对比发现, 钦州湾DOM动态同时受到自然水文过程(例如降雨)与高强度人类活动(例如平陆运河疏浚、水产养殖)的共同调控, 体现了典型人为干扰河口的生物地球化学特征。研究结果为理解人类活动影响下河口碳循环的演变提供了支持, 并为平陆运河建设及区域水环境管理与污染控制提供了参考依据。

Abstract:

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) serves as a key driver in biogeochemical processes. The composition and sources of DOM in estuarine and bay waters significantly influence marine ecosystems. This study was conducted in the estuary area connecting the Pinglu Canal and Qinzhou Bay through multiple sampling campaigns from August 2024 to June 2025. By integrating ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy with three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis (3D-EEM-PARAFAC) on collected samples, this study systematically investigated the compositional characteristics and sources of aquatic DOM. The study revealed that the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration in the surface water of Qinzhou Bay ranged from 1.31 to 9.14 mg·L−1. The lowest concentration [average (2.11±0.38) mg·L−1] was in February 2025 and the highest concentration [average (7.53±1.43) mg·L−1] was in October 2024. Spatially, DOM concentrations showed a decreasing trend from the Pinglu Canal estuary to the Maowei Sea, but the concentration outside the bay has rebounded. Three fluorescent components were identified in the DOM of Qinzhou Bay: one humic-like component C1 (Ex/Em=240/430 nm), and two protein-like components, C2 (Ex/Em=245/300 nm) and C3 (Ex/Em=250, 275/350 nm), whose relative abundances varied seasonally. During the high-flow period, the relative proportion of the humic-like component (C1) reached 60%-81%, accompanied by significantly elevated aromaticity index and humification index (HIX). This indicates that the DOM pool was dominated by terrestrially derived, highly aromatic and humified substances transported by river inflow. During the low-flow period, protein-like components (C2 and C3) exceeded 70%, while aromaticity index (<1.5) and HIX dropped to extremely low levels; meanwhile, the biological index (BIX) increased, indicating a shift to endogenous and anthropogenic sources. Correlation analysis revealed significant negative correlations between salinity and humic-like component C1 (r=−0.96, P<0.01), while it showed no significant correlations with the DOC concentration (r=−0.23, P>0.05) and tyrosine-like component C2 (r=−0.08, P>0.05), suggesting that terrestrial DOM shows complex mixing behaviors in estuary. Comparative analysis with large natural estuaries such as the Yangtze River Estuary and the Yellow River Estuary reveals that the dynamics of DOM in Qinzhou Bay are co-regulated by natural hydrological processes (e.g., rainfall) and intensive anthropogenic activities (e.g., canal dredging, aquaculture), reflecting the biogeochemical signatures typical of a heavily human-modified estuary. The results provide support for understanding the evolution of the carbon cycle in estuaries under the influence of human activities and serve as a reference for the construction of Pinglu Canal, as well as for regional water environment management and pollution control.
