摘要

Abstract

Global coral reef ecosystems have been severely degraded due to the combined effects of climate change and human activities. Changes in the seawater carbonate system of coral reef ecosystems can reflect their status and their responses to the impacts of climate change and human activities. Winter and summer surveys in 2019 found that the ecological community of the Luhuitou coral reef flat was dominated by macroalgae and corals

respectively

contrasting with the conditions 10 years ago. The Luhuitou fringing reefs were sources of atmospheric CO

in both seasons. In winter

the daily variation range of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in Luhuitou coral reefs was up to 450 μmol/kg

while that of total alkalinity (TA) was only 68 μmol/kg. This indicated that the organic production was significantly higher than the calcification process during this period. The TA/DIC was approximately 0.15

which was less than half of that in healthy coral reefs; hence

photosynthesis-respiration processes were the most important factors controlling daily changes in the seawater carbonate system. The net community production (NCP) of the Luhuitou coral reef ecosystem in winter was as high as 47.65 mmol C/(m

·h). While the net community calcification (NCC) was approximately 3.35 and -4.15 mmol CaCO

/(m

·h) during the daytime and nighttime respectively. Therefore

the NCC for the entire day was -21.9 mmol CaCO

/(m

·d)

indicating a net autotrophic dissolved state. In summer

the acidification was enhanced by thunderstorms

and heavy rain with the highest seawater partial pressure of CO

(

) and lowest pH

. Over the past 10 years

the increase rate of seawater

in Luhuitou reef was approximately 13.3 μatm/a

***

six times that of the open ocean

while the decrease rate of pH was approximately 0.008 3/a

being five times that of the global ocean. These findings underscore the importance of protecting and restoring Luhuitou fringing reef

as well as similar reefs worldwide.
