A coastal ecosystem model coupling multiple human activities, including runoff discharge, reclamation, mariculture, and atmospheric deposition, was developed using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) coupled with the Carbon, Silicate, and Nitrogen Ecosystem (CoSiNE) model. The model performance was rigorously evaluated in the Bohai Sea as the study area. Through orthogonal experiment, multiple human activity scenarios were designed, and the contribution rates of these activities to marine ecological factors were quantified using variance analysis. The results showed that (1) the simulated results of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in 2020 were compared with observational data, whose average R<sup>2</sup> values were 0.839, 0.820, 0.814, respectively, which indicated the simulated results were generally in accordance with observational data. (2) Orthogonal experiment results revealed that the contribution rates of runoff discharge to DIN, DIP, the nitrogen content of phytoplankton and zooplankton all ranked first, reaching 59.73 %, 65.05 %, 66.92 %, and 68.23 % respectively, indicating that runoff discharge is a key factor affecting the Bohai Sea ecosystem. (3) The response of ecological factors to human activities exhibited significant spatial heterogeneity, with the impacts of runoff discharge, reclamation, and mariculture diminishing with increasing distance from the coastline. The proposed model not only facilitates efficient scenario simulation but also demonstrates high accuracy, making it a valuable tool for quantifying the combined impact of multiple human activities and simulating coastal ecosystems under intense anthropogenic pressure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"214 ","pages":"Article 117805"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143601141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs bibliometric analysis to examine research trends from 1995 to 2024 on the impact of salinity on metal accumulation in seaweeds. A search conducted on 8 October 2024 resulted in 242 articles, which were then filtered to 28 relevant studies for analysis.

Results reveal a growing academic interest since 2006, with increasing citation counts reflecting global concern over salinity and heavy metal pollution. Significant contributions from Brazil and Portugal, alongside strong European collaborations, highlight regional strengths. Five key themes emerge, encompassing seaweed physiology, biomonitoring, and phytoremediation. Findings indicate that salinity fluctuations significantly affect metal bioavailability and uptake in seaweeds, influenced by species-specific factors, temperature, and pH. This study highlights the need for targeted, site-specific research on diverse seaweed species to effectively manage heavy metal pollution in coastal ecosystems, particularly in light of climate change and industrial activities.

A comparison with the environmental quality standards (EQSs) defined by the legislation showed that threshold levels were exceeded for Cr, Ni, Hg, Pb, As and Cd.

Negligible or low contamination was found for sediments far from the urbanised and industrialised areas, whereas the EFs were higher near the coast, revealing notable isolated anomalies. The highest enrichment was found for Hg, whose average EF value was 14 times higher than the local baseline, followed by Cu > Cd > Mo > Pb > Zn. On the contrary, Cr and Ni are, in fact, not enriched although showing concentrations higher than the EQS values.
