Abstract:

Characters of plankton community metabolism of Daya Bay were studied using data collected in August 2016 and January 2017. The possible effects of nutrients input were discussed to understand the response mechanism of plankton to warming and eutrophication based on simulation experiments. The results indicated that both GPP (gross primary production) and CR (community respiration) were influenced by warming and nutrients input, and response of GPP to environment was seriously sensitive. The impact of GPP on nutrients input was more remarkably than that of temperature, except for being significantly inhibited in early cultured stage (24 h) with extremely high temperature conditions. In winter, both GPP and CR were significantly affected by the warming effect (p<0.05). Overall, both warming effect and nutrients input could affect carbon metabolism of plankton community which would lead to the declining of marine ecosystem stability, thereby affecting marine ecosystem stability and biodiversity and quality of marine ecological environment and fishery resource output.

Key words: plankton, community metabolism, nutrients input, Daya Bay
