摘要

Abstract

The property of water mass plays an important role in determining the distribution of phytoplankton in the ocean. In the Yellow Sea

summer stratification constrains water exchange and differentiates the properties of the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) and surface water

which in turn affects the spatiotemporal patterns of phytoplankton communities. Here

based on four summer cruises in the Yellow Sea

we examined the response of phytoplankton pigment assemblages to three water masses

including surface water (water mass Ⅰ

WM-Ⅰ)

thermocline water (WM-Ⅱ)

and the YSCWM (WM-Ⅲ). Based on the opportunities for group dominance across the four cruises

Cyanophyceae

Haptophyceae

Chlorophyceae

and Cryptophyceae preferred living in WM-Ⅰ

characterized by relatively higher temperature and light intensity but lower nutrients; Bacillariophyceae

Chlorophyceae

Cyanophyceae

and Dinophyceae dominated in WM-Ⅲ

with relatively lower temperature and light intensity but higher nutrients. In comparison

the highest diversity of the dominant pigment groups was observed in WM-Ⅱ with intermediate temperature

light

and nutrient levels. The Dirichlet regression model identified the key environmental factors driving changes in phytoplankton assemblages in WM-Ⅰ

Ⅱ

and Ⅲ as dissolved inorganic phosphate (DIP)

DIP and light

and temperature and ammonium

respectively. Under the impact of global environmental change

the fluctuations of key driving forces and their potential ecological implications need further investigation.
