摘要

Abstract

The Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS) are important marginal seas of the western Pacific. Understanding the dynamics of methane (CH

) in the YS and ECS are essential to evaluate the role of coastal seas in global warming. We measured dissolved CH

at various depths in the water column of the YS and ECS during a cruise from March to April 2017. The concentrations of CH

varied greatly in different water masses

suggesting that the hydrographic conditions can substantially affect the CH

distribution. The CH

budget in the shelf of the ECS

which was estimated with a box model

suggests CH

consumption in the water column was the major sink (

95%)

followed by a loss with a total of 2.2% CH

released to the atmosphere. Overall a local CH

production of 0.28 nmol/(L·d) was needed to maintain the CH

excess. Results from laboratory incubations showed an increase in CH

(1.5 times higher than the value of the control) after the addition of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). Field incubations result in a CH

production rate of 1.2 nmol/(L·d) under a N-stressed conditions (N: P

indicates that the DMSPdependent CH

production prefer to occur in the oligotrophic seawaters

where nitrogen is depleted. This study demonstrates that the marginal seas of China is a hotspot for CH

dynamics

and the cycling of methylated sulfur compounds (such as DMSP) may contribute importantly to locally formed CH

. This may have further implication to carbon and sulfur biogeochemical cycles in the western Pacific.
