摘要

Abstract

Ocean acidification (OA) and global warming-induced water column stratification can significantly alter phytoplankton-related biological activity in the marine ecosystem. Yet how these changes may play out in the tropical Indian Ocean remains unclear. This study investigated the ecological and metabolic responses of the different phytoplankton functional groups to elevated CO

partial pressure and nitrate deficiency in two different environments of the eastern Indian Ocean (EIO). It is revealed that phytoplankton growth and metabolic rates are more sensitive to inorganic nutrients rather than CO

. The combined interactive effects of OA and N-limitation on phytoplankton populations are functional group-specific. In particular

the abundance and calcification rate of calcifying coccolithophores are expected to be enhanced in the future EIO. The underlying mechanisms for this enhancement may be ascribed to coccolithophore's lower carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) efficiency and OA-induced [HCO

] increase. In comparison

the abundance of non-calcifying microphytoplankton (e.g.

diatoms and dinoflagellates) and primary productivity would be inhibited under those conditions. Different from previous laboratory experiments

interspecific competition for resources would be an important consideration in the natural phytoplankton populations. These combined factors would roughly determine calcifying coccolithophores as "winners" and non-calcifying microphytoplankton as "losers" in the future ocean scenario. Due to the large species-specific differences in phytoplankton sensitivity to OA

comprehensive investigations on oceanic phytoplankton communities are essential to precisely predict phytoplankton ecophysiological response to ocean acidification.
