摘　　要：由于存在极高的初级生产和高效的碳代谢速率,珊瑚礁海域二氧化碳(CO_(2))的汇/源属性仍存有争议。为明晰中国典型珊瑚礁海域CO_(2)的汇源属性及驱动因素,作者基于2022年11月(秋季)和2023年2月(冬季)在深圳杨梅坑海域的调查结果并结合室内培养实验所获得的数据,探究了枯水季节典型亚热带珊瑚礁海水二氧化碳分压(pCO_(2))的分布特征及主要控制机制。结果表明,调查期间pCO_(2)的变化较大,其范围为233.3~465.3μatm。秋季表现为大气CO_(2)的汇,CO_(2)吸收通量为1.66±0.41 mmol C/(m^(2)/d);冬季表现为大气CO_(2)的弱源,其释放通量为0.36±0.17 mmol C/(m^(2)/d)。调查期间(枯水季)杨梅坑海域受淡水输入的影响较小,季节性温度影响下的生物过程是驱动pCO_(2)变化的关键因素,其贡献pCO_(2)总变化量的73.6%(表层)和66.5%(底层)。其中,浮游植物光合作用的季节差异是导致海水CO_(2)汇源转变的主要成因,而微生物呼吸作用的影响甚微。相比较,物理过程(CO_(2)海-气交换、温度和盐度变化)对pCO_(2)的影响相对较小,其作用结果远低于生物过程。此外,珊瑚的代谢活动对杨梅坑局部海域pCO_(2)分布产生一定影响,造成礁区pCO_(2)值高于非礁区。因此,海气CO_(2)通量估算中不能忽视局部海域珊瑚代谢作用的影响。Due to the extremely high primary production and efficient carbon metabolism rate,the sink/source properties of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))in coral reef waters are still controversial.This study aims to explore the distribution characteristics of the seawater partial pressure of carbon dioxide(pCO_(2))and its main control mechanisms in a typical subtropical coral reef during the dry season based on field surveys conducted in the Yangmeikeng Sea area of Shenzhen,China in November 2022(autumn)and February 2023(winter)and the data obtained from indoor culture experiments.The investigation reveals a significant pCO_(2)variation that ranges from 233.3 to 465.3μatm.In autumn,the study area acts as a sink for atmospheric CO_(2),yielding an absorption flux of 1.66±0.41 mmol C/m^(2)/day.Conversely,in winter,it is a weak source of atmospheric CO_(2),depicting an emission flux of 0.65±0.14 mmol C/m^(2)/day.The Yangmeikeng Sea area notably experiences minimal influence from the freshwater input.The biological process under the seasonal temperature influence is the key factor driving the seasonal variation of pCO_(2),which contributes 73.6%(surface)and 66.5%(bottom)of the total variation.The seasonal difference of the phytoplankton photosynthesis is the main cause of the seawater CO_(2)transformation from sink to source,while the effect of the microbial respiration is weak.In comparison,physical processes,such as the sea–air exchange of CO_(2)and the temperature and salinity changes,have a weaker effect on the pCO_(2)dynamic than that of biological processes.The metabolic activity of corals also has a noteworthy impact on the pCO_(2)distribution in the local sea area of Yangmeikeng,resulting in a higher pCO_(2)value in the reef area than in the non-reef area.Thus,the influence of the coral metabolism in the local sea area cannot be ignored when estimating the air–sea CO_(2)flux.
