    Abstract One interesting question in the study of marine microbial ecology is how ocean currents affect the geographic distributions of microorganisms. The Zhe-Min Coastal Current (ZMCC) is strong in winter and could influence the plankton communities in Hong Kong coastal waters by bringing species from far north. In this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of microbial eukaryotic communities (MEC) in the ZMCC and evaluated the relative contribution of environmental and spatial factors on the variations of MEC. The results showed that diverse taxa of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) and Dinophyceae (Dinoflagellata) dominated the sequences in all samples. MEC compositions in the Hong Kong coastal waters were closer to the communities in the ZMCC than other adjacent areas. Abundant and rare taxa exhibited a similar geographic pattern of distribution. Environmental factors alone explained 14.1% and 27.6% of the variations in the entire and abundant communities, respectively, which were higher than pure spatial factors (8.3% and 19.5%, respectively). The lower importance of spatial factors (dispersal limitation) might be explained by the passive dispersal favored by current transportation and was further supported by the high immigration rate computed in the neutral community model (NCM). High fitness to the NCM (R2 = 0.74) indicated the predominant role of neutral process in shaping the MEC. The large proportion of unexplained variations in rare taxa suggested the importance of other potential factors, especially biotic interactions. Our study demonstrates the influences of coastal current on local and regional structures of MEC.

    Abstract The temporal variation of sedimentary organic matters (SOM) in the East China Sea (ECS) is not fully assessed due to the complicated natural and anthropogenic processes. In this study, the compositions and distributions of multi-biomarker indicators (n-alkanes, n-alkanols and specific sterols) in a long sediment core collected from the Min-Zhe fined-grained sediment zone of the ECS were systematically studied to reveal variations of SOM sources and phytoplankton records over the last decades. The results of n-alkanes and sterols have demonstrated that terrestrial plants are the dominant SOM source, with the mean proportion of 67%. The temporal variation of terrestrial to marine biomarker ratios (TMBR) agree well with that of the dominant n-alkanes and terrigenous/aquatic ratios (TAR), suggesting that the multi-biomarker indicators yield a better assessment of the SOM source input. The regular variations of terrestrial OM and phytoplankton signals during the past decades record the interaction among marine ecological effects, anthropogenic activities and natural processes (i.e., extreme climate events). As a whole, the elevated productivity of marine phytoplankton since 1952 (mainly caused by enhanced nutrient inputs owing to the intensified human activities) and the decline in the period of 2005–2011 (likely influenced by the water impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam in 2003) were well reconstructed on the basis of brassicasterol (B) and dinosterol (D) indicators in this study. The B/(B + D) ratios also reveal the changes of community structure as a result of variations in the nutrient structure controlled by anthropogenic forcing. Notably, the anomalous peak in the abundance of n-alkanes with the even carbon predominance in about 1990 is identified for the first time, which may occur at that time of the first heavy rainfall after a long drought and is probably of the origin of biomass/fossil fuel combustion.

    Abstract The global carbon cycle has played a key role in mitigating global warming and climate change. Long-term natural and anthropogenic processes influence the composition, sources, burial rates, and fluxes of carbon in sediments on the continental shelf of China. In this study, the rates, fluxes, and amounts of carbon storage at the centennial scale were estimated and demonstrated using the case study of three fine-grained sediment cores from the central South Yellow Sea area (SYSA) and Min-Zhe belt (MZB), East China Sea. Based on the high-resolution temporal sequences of total carbon (TC) and total organic carbon (TOC) contents, we reconstructed the annual variations of historical marine carbon storage, and explored the influence of terrestrial and marine sources on carbon burial at the centennial scale. The estimated TC storage over 100 years was 1.18×108 t in the SYSA and 1.45×109 t in the MZB. The corrected TOC storage fluxes at the centennial scale ranged from 17 to 28 t/(km2·a)in the SYSA and from 56 to 148 t/(km2·a) in the MZB. The decrease of terrestrial materials and the increase of marine primary production suggest that the TOC buried in the sediments in the SYSA and MZB was mainly derived from the marine autogenetic source. In the MZB, two depletion events occurred in TC and TOC storage from 1985 to 1987 and 2003 to 2006, which were coeval with the water impoundment in the Gezhouba and Three Gorges dams, respectively. The high-resolution records of the carbon storage rates and fluxes in the SYSA and MZB reflect the synchronous responses to human activities and provide an important reference for assessing the carbon sequestration capacity of the marginal seas of China.
