To date, hot-spot N₂O emissions have been reported for low oxygen waters of the eastern boundary upwelling systems at their tropical latitudes, but there is a limited number of studies in their “oxygenated” temperate latitudes. This is the first study of the N₂O cycle in the NW Iberian Upwelling system, where we investigated the seasonality of the N₂O concentrations and their emissions to the atmosphere, along with the spatial differences in this coastal region in response to the upwelling. Monthly observations were collected from February 2017 to July 2018, in two hydrographic sections within the Ría of Vigo and Ría of A Coruña, two coastal embayments with contrasting response to the upwelling of the Eastern North Atlantic Central Water (ENACW) in the region. N₂O concentrations ranged between 8.56 to 12.53 nmol kg⁻¹ (94–121 % of saturation) in the shelf, and from 8.62 to 17.60 nmol kg⁻¹ (94–203 % of saturation) inside the rías, with the highest N₂O concentration at the bottom, which increase as the upwelling progress from April to October. The air-sea fluxes of N₂O varied between −1.6 to 3.26 µmol m⁻² d⁻¹ in the shelf and −1.53 to 7.00 µmol m⁻² d⁻¹ inside the rías. Local differences on the ventilation and remineralization pattern drives the seasonality of N₂O and differences between Ria of Vigo and Ria of A Coruña, being the higher values of N₂O concentrations and air-sea fluxes registered in the inner Ria of Vigo. Our study reports the N₂O emissions of an upwelling system in a temperate latitude, where the upwelling waters are central waters relatively well ventilated in terms of oxygen content, behaving as a moderate low net source of N₂O to the atmosphere compared to tropical upwelling latitudes, characterised by a lower oxygen content.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"224 ","pages":"Article 103261"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079661124000673/pdfft?md5=6f3af36957efae5b4b4219db7d2bf9c9&pid=1-s2.0-S0079661124000673-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140638312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These findings indicate high nutrient and low chlorophyll (HNLC)-like conditions. In the phytoplankton community, pennate diatoms, the larger subpopulation of pico-sized eukaryotic phytoplankton, and nano-flagellates substantially contributed to the low biomass of the chain-forming centric diatoms that mainly comprised the spring phytoplankton bloom. The microzooplankton biomass was 2.7–4.4 fold greater than the phytoplankton biomass in the surface layer. Naked ciliates substantially contributed to the microzooplankton community (40–87 %). The naked ciliate growth rates during our <em>in situ</em> bottle incubation experiments were significantly greater than the maximum growth rates as calculated from cell volume and water temperature. The mesozooplankton biomass was mainly composed of krill and copepods and was 5.9–9.3 fold higher than the microzooplankton biomass. This inverted biomass pyramid with relatively low microzooplankton and high mesozooplankton biomass may be explained by the high production and growth rates of the microzooplankton.

Here, we investigated the marine ecosystem response to the MJO by analyzing phytoplankton pigment data collected in cruises from 2010 to 2014. The results indicated the strong influence of the MJO on the structure of phytoplankton size classes (PSCs) in the upper 50 m of the SCS basin. To further explore the ecosystem's response to MJO, we utilized a well-calibrated physical-biogeochemical model (ROMS-CoSiNE) of the SCS to conduct numerical experiments with and without MJO forcings. Our model demonstrated that MJO-induced deep mixing and upwelling increased nutrients in the upper layer, increasing the Chl concentration with a higher proportion of nanophytoplankton (15 %) and a lower proportion of picophytoplankton (−20 %). Moreover, The MJO-forced model experiment exhibited a substantial enhancement in primary production (56 %) and export production (23 %), resulting in a notable decrease in the e-ratio. This reduction in the e-ratio cannot be attributed to changes in PSCs but can be explained by the time lag between primary and export production. This lag was prolonged by the physical processes of upwelling and mixing, which slows down the particle sinking.

The hypothesis is evaluated here based on the new data set and extends from 2018 to 2020, referring additionally to 2017 data which are already published. Data collected in 2017 and 2020 support the hypothesis, pointing to the large organic outputs after highly productive winters.

Such a circulation system could favour the spreading of the Po River waters across the NAd, inducing high primary production in winter, at the beginning of the yearly pelagic cycle, with a subsequent retention/accumulation of organic matter produced in the following months in the area. Using climate projections of temperature and salinity and the associated circulation and following the observed biological relations, a prediction of the organic matter production in the NAd can be obtained. With increased horizontal density gradients in future winters, an intensification of transversal motions across the NAd is expected. Thus, the retention of the Po waters with higher winter production in the NAd may be predicted.

However, this “oceanographic barrier” has been breached as established green crab populations have been detected in the eastern Salish Sea in recent years. Here we carried out particle-tracking simulations to understand possible natural pathways of green crab larvae invading the eastern Salish Sea. Both diel vertical migration and temperature-dependent mortality were considered in these simulations. Our results suggest that green crab larvae from the outer coast (outside the Salish Sea) and Sooke Basin (in SJdF) could be carried into the eastern Salish Sea in a narrow time window during the later cold season (esp. in March) when frequent flow reversals in SJdF occur and the seasonally rising water temperature becomes relatively favorable for green crab larvae. The major pathway for larvae to reach the eastern Salish Sea is along the southern coast of SJdF. The probability of live larvae reaching the eastern Salish Sea is highly sensitive to water temperature. Sensitivity simulations indicate that a temperature increase of 0.5–1 °C would double or quadruple the probability of successful arrival in the eastern Salish Sea. This suggests that invading green crabs might have taken advantage of the mild winter conditions in recent warm years.

SOCAT reveals significant spatial and seasonal variations in &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;CO&lt;sub&gt;2sw&lt;/sub&gt; in the GOM owing to complex local nonthermal (physical and biological) dynamics, particularly in the Louisiana Shelf (LAS) and Western Florida Shelf (WFS).

Three main categories of marine particles link the different parts of the open ocean by shaping carbon distribution: (i) sinking; (ii) suspended, and (iii) ascending. Atmospheric carbon captured by phytoplankton in the surface water, is partly sequestered by sinking particles to the bottom of the ocean and plays an important role in controlling global climate. Suspended particles represent a significant source of organic carbon for heterotrophic microorganisms and are more likely to undergo remineralization compared to sinking particles. Ascending particles, depending on their composition, point of origin, and ascending velocity, may lead to carbon remineralization in the upper layers of the ocean in closer proximity to the atmosphere. Marine particles are hotspots of microbial activity and thus heavily colonized by microorganisms whose dynamics play an important role in organic matter degradation, aggregation and sinking, thus directly influencing the biological carbon pump efficiency. Microbiomes of marine particles differ depending on particle size, source, and age. Nevertheless, these factors are generally overlooked, and particles are mostly studied as “bulk” without considering the high heterogeneity between individual particles. This hinders our understanding of the carbon budget in the ocean and thus future predictions of climate change. In this review we examine known particle-types and associated sampling methods and identify knowledge gaps and emphasize the need for a better understanding of the single-particle ecosystem to enhance global upscaling rates. Furthermore, we introduce a novel concept: the ‘lipid carbon shunt’.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20620,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Oceanography","volume":"224 ","pages":"Article 103233"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079661124000399/pdfft?md5=443711e7dc9af5f6f4d20313bd4a769b&pid=1-s2.0-S0079661124000399-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140268912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
