Abstract

Abstract

The flowing seawater can provide the nutrients for the growth of marine plants, which plays a vital role in the growth and reproduction of marine plants. However, most of the current simulation physiological and ecological experiments ignored this important environmental factor. Although macroalgae is regarded as the emerging fourth category of “blue carbon”, there are few studies on its carbon sequestration. In this study, we design a carbon sequestration capacity measurement system of macroalgae that can adjust the flow speed, which can not only measure the photosynthetic rate, respiratory rate and the absorption rate of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), but also measure the release rate of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of macroalgae. The results show that the net photosynthetic rate, net primary productivity, DOC release rate and the absorption rate of DIN and DIP of Sargassum thunbergii are increased at medium (0.033 m/s) and high (0.094 m/s) flow speed compared with static status (0 m/s), and the highest values are obtained under high flow speed (0.094 m/s). In addition, the DOC release rate of S. thunbergii increased with the increase of the net primary productivity. This measurement system can provide a practical reference for the study of carbon sequestration capacity of macroalgae.
