Abstract
ABSTRACT The grain size structure of phytoplankton has great influence on shellfish culture. The present study aimed to assess the spatial and temporal variation in the phytoplankton community structure in the Yalu River Estuary and to explore the relationship between the phytoplankton community structure and various environmental parameters in 2020. High-throughput sequencing was used in this study. The results showed that nanophytoplankton, especially Karlodinium veneficum, dominated the estuary throughout the year. The biomass ratio of picophytoplankton, nanophytoplankton, and microphytoplankton were 20:63:17 in spring, 30:44:26 in summer, 1:38:61 in autumn, and 2:45:53 in winter, respectively. Meanwhile, Dinophyta had the greatest biomass throughout the year, followed by Bacillariophyta. On the spatial dimension (Station average), COD, T, SST had a positive impact on total phytoplankton communities, and Dep had a negative impact. In the time dimension (Monthly average), the environmental factor that significantly controlled the phytoplankton community structure were NO2 and SST.
期刊介绍:
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability publishes articles on advances in ecology and sustainability science, how global environmental change affects ecosystem health, how changes in human activities affect ecosystem conditions, and system-based approaches for applying ecological science in decision-making to promote sustainable development. Papers focus on applying ecological theory, principles, and concepts to support sustainable development, especially in regions undergoing rapid environmental change. Papers on multi-scale, integrative, and interdisciplinary studies, and on international collaborations between scientists from industrialized and industrializing countries are especially welcome.
Suitable topics for EHS include:
• Global, regional and local studies of international significance
• Impact of global or regional environmental change on natural ecosystems
• Interdisciplinary research involving integration of natural, social, and behavioral sciences
• Science and policy that promote the use of ecological sciences in decision making
• Novel or multidisciplinary approaches for solving complex ecological problems
• Multi-scale and long-term observations of ecosystem evolution
• Development of novel systems approaches or modeling and simulation techniques
• Rapid responses to emerging ecological issues.
