Abstract

Abstract

The coastal estuarine ecosystem is a unique ecosystem formed at the confluence of rivers and oceans. It has high primary productivity, can provide food and habitat for many organisms, and plays an important role in maintaining the stability of ecosystem structure. In order to explore the temporal and spatial dynamics of phytoplankton community and its environmental impact factors in Liuqing River Bay, four cruises were carried out at seven sampling sites in Liuqing River Bay in winter (March), spring (May), summer (August) and autumn (October) of 2023. The results showed that a total of 97 species of phytoplankton belonging to 56 genera and 3 phyla were identified in the four cruises. The phytoplankton community structure was mainly composed of diatoms and dinoflagellates. The cell abundance of phytoplankton in Liuqing River Bay has obvious temporal and spatial dynamic changes. From the time dimension, the average abundance of phytoplankton in the four seasons from high to low is winter, autumn, summer and spring.In terms of spatial distribution, the phytoplankton abundance in Liuqing Bay reflects seasonal spatial distribution differences. The high abundance areas in spring, autumn and winter are concentrated in the northeast coastal waters, which are mainly driven by terrestrial input. The low abundance area is continuously distributed in the northwest sea area, which is mainly related to turbulent mixing. The overall spatial pattern is characterized by near-shore enrichment and offshore decline. The dominant species mainly include Cladophora in Bacillariophyta, Coscinodiscus in Ophiales, Chaetoceros capillipes, Chaetoceros spiralis, Coscinodiscus astromboides, Coscinodiscus grijsii and Chaetoceros capillipes, Chaetoceros tricornis in Pyrrophyta. The biodiversity in summer and autumn was significantly higher than that in spring and winter. The results of redundancy analysis showed that salinity, DIN (dissolved inorganic nitrogen) and DIP (dissolved inorganic phosphorus) were the key environmental factors affecting the changes of phytoplankton community structure.
