南海北部珊瑚群落结构特征及其对海洋热浪事件的响应

Abstract

Abstract:

Coral communities in the northern South China Sea (SCS), which have the potential to act as regions of refugia for many coral species in the face of global warming. However, the temporal and spatial diversities of coral communities in the northern SCS and the effects of coral bleaching caused by marine heat waves are still unclear. In this study, the status of coral communities across the northern SCS, including the Daya Bay, the Weizhou Island, the Xuwen and Luhuitou fringing reefs, and the space differences are studied on the basis of ecological materials in the field investigations during August 2020, and its response to marine heatwaves. Our results indicate that coral communities across the northern SCS show remarkable regional characteristics. The dominant species composition, species number and α diversity index of coral communities are subject to significant regional differences, and the live coral cover is higher in the Luhuitou and Daya Bay (37.78% and 17.97%, respectively). Thus, the coral communities in Xuwen and Weizhou were subject to mass coral bleaching events during the field investigation, and the coral bleaching rate and mortality rate was 84.78% and 10.68%, 65.52% and 0.70% in Xuwen and the Weizhou Island, respectively, while no coral bleaching occurred in the Daya Bay and Luhuitou. Based on historical data analysis, although the live coral cover of coral communities in the northern SCS has dropped significantly since 1980s, there has been a recovery trend in recent years; the proportion of heat bleaching tolerant genera and heat bleaching resistant genera increased in the coral communities of the Weizhou Island, Xuwen and Luhuitou. In general, the coral community in the northern SCS has a strong resistance to heat bleaching. Strengthening the conservation and management of coral reef areas is crucial for the restoration and refuge of coral communities in the northern SCS under global warming.
