Abstract

Abstract

Based on the daily satellite monitoring data of floating green tides, and the nitrogen nutrients and hydrological environment parameters were collected in spring (April, before green tides) and summer (July, later stage of green tides) cruises in the southern Yellow Sea (SYS) in 2018, we studied the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of the green tides, and the role of nitrogen nutrients in it. The results showed that the small U. prolifera patches were firstly observed in shallow waters off Nantong, Jiangsu Province on April 25, then floated northward and reached its maximum scale on the June 29, followed by decomposition and disappearance in the coast of Shandong Peninsula in the mid-August. The trajectory area of floating green tides was mainly located in the western of 122°E in the SYS, and showed two distinguishable development phases, the rapid growth phase in the south of 35°N, nearshore area of Jiangsu, and the decline phase in the north of 35°N, offshore area of Shandong Peninsula. The nitrogen nutrient components showed regional and seasonal variations, influenced by the freshwater influx, cold water masses, biological activity and other factors. The effects of nitrogen components were different in different development phases of green tides. The rich nitrogen nutrients from a variety of sources (total dissdved nitrogen (TDN) >20 μmol/L and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) >20 μmol/L) provided sufficient nitrogen for the development of green tides in the dominated form of DIN, and contributed to the fast reproduction and growth of U. prolifera in the rapid growth phase. While the U. prolifera showed a higher affinity for DON in the decline phase area, the urea-N become main nitrogen source for the development of green tides because of the poor bioavailable nitrogen content (DIN<2 μmol/L and urea-N<1.5 μmol/L) condition, which would limit the continuous growth of U. prolifera.
