Hu K, Hu J, Tchinda NT, George C, Li J, Du L. Revealing the composition and optical properties of marine carbonaceous aerosols: A case of the eastern China marginal seas. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2025; 958:178136. [PMID: 39705957 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.178136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2024] [Revised: 11/27/2024] [Accepted: 12/13/2024] [Indexed: 12/23/2024]
Abstract
Marine aerosols are major components of atmospheric aerosols, playing substantial roles in influencing the regional and global environment and climate. Marine aerosols are not only produced by seawater directly, but also by indirect processes such as atmospheric oxidation of marine bioactive gases as well as terrestrial transport. Over the Eastern China Marginal Seas (ECMS), marine aerosols are strongly affected by marine emission and transport of terrestrial aerosols. However, only few studies have paid attention to the optical properties across three marginal seas. In this study, marine aerosol samples were collected from the entire ECMS in spring 2023 to explore the composition and properties of carbonaceous species. Due to the significant influence of terrestrial transport on Bohai Sea, the average concentration of total suspended particles (TSP) is as high as (359.65 ± 150.45) μg m-3, while the average concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and element carbon (EC) can be up to (17.99 ± 7.71) μg m-3 and (3.28 ± 1.23) μg m-3, respectively. Besides, intense solar radiation may be a potential factor leading to an increase in the solubility of OC in aerosols over southern Yellow Sea. The light-absorbing capacity (MAE365) of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) is higher in northern sea region, being (0.58 ± 0.11) m2 g-1 in Bohai Sea, (0.40 ± 0.12) m2 g-1 in Yellow Sea and (0.29 ± 0.11) m2 g-1 in East China Sea. The current results show that humic-like and protein-like substances are the main fluorescent components in water-soluble organic matter. Terrestrial sources enhance the warming effect of aerosols over ECMS by about 1.5-2 times more than marine sources. This study suggests that future research should focus on the impact of terrestrial sources on the northern region of ECMS and the impact of marine sources on the southern region of ECMS.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 945:174144. [PMID: 38901588 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Coastal bays serve as undeniable dissolved organic matter (DOM) reactors and the role of prevalent mariculture in DOM cycling deserves investigation. This study, based on four seasonal field samplings and a laboratory incubation experiment, examined the source and seasonal dynamics of DOM and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) in the seawater of fish (Larimichthys crocea, LC), seaweed (Gracilaria lemaneiformis, GL) and abalone (Haliotis sp., HA) culturing zones in Sansha Bay, China. Using three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with parallel factor analysis (EEMs-PARAFAC), three fluorescent components were identified, i.e. protein-like C1, protein-like C2, and humic-like C3. Our results showed that mariculture activities dominated the DOM pool by seasonal generating abundant DOM with lower aromaticity and humification degrees. Accounting for 40-95 % of total fluorescent components, C1 (Ex/Em = 300/340 nm) was regarded the same as D1 (Ex/Em = 300/335 nm) identified in a 180-day degradation experiments of G. lemaneiformis detritus, indicating that the cultured seaweed modulated DOM through the seasonal production of C1. In addition, the incubation experiment revealed that 0.7 % of the total carbon content of seaweed detritus could be preserved as recalcitrant dissolved organic carbon (RDOC). However, fish culture appeared to contribute to liable DOC and protein-like C2, exerting a substantial impact on DOM during winter but making a negligible contribution to carbon sequestration, while abalone culture might promote the potential export and sequestration of seaweed-derived carbon to the ocean. Our results highlight the influences of mariculture activities, especially seaweed culture, in shaping DOM pool in coastal bays. These findings can provide reference for future studies on the carbon accounting of mariculture.

Abstract
Atmospheric aerosol (including total suspended particulate (TSP) samples and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) samples) and precipitation samples were collected in Qingdao from May 2020 to June 2021. The concentrations of metal elements on fog days were 0.28-0.56 times that on clean days; those on haze-fog (HF), haze and dust days were 0.76-2.7, 1.2-3.6 and 1.7-5.7 times those on clean days, respectively. Compared with that on clean days, the solubility of metals on fog, HF and haze days increased by 4 %-193 %, but that on dust days decreased by 1 %-62 %. The dry deposition fluxes of dissolved Al, Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu and Cd were the highest on HF or haze days, which were 2.2-15 times clean days. The dry deposition fluxes of metals accounted for 56 %-89 % of the total deposition fluxes (including dry and wet deposition).

Abstract
It is still unclear how the chemical speciation of Cu in surface seawater is impacted by aerosols from various sources deposited on the sea surface, which is surprising, considering the environmental importance of Cu. Therefore, we used voltammetry to investigate Cu complexing capacity (CuCC) in the sea surface microlayer (SML) and in the underlying water (ULW) of the oligotrophic middle Adriatic Sea during February-July 2019. The focus was on the impacts of specific atmospheric processes such as open-fire biomass burning (BB), pollination season and Saharan dust intrusion. The presence of ligand class L2 (19.9-392.0, average 63.8, median 43.1) nM; log K2 (8.3-10.2, average 9.6, median 9.6) was observed in all samples, while ligand class L1 (40.5-76.1, average 53.6, median 48.9) nM; log K1 (10.3-11.1, average 10.6, median 10.5) was found in only 25% of SML samples. Throughout the period, the SML was enriched with organic ligands by a factor of up to 9.1 compared to the ULW, mainly due to the high sensitivity of the SML to specific atmospheric depositions. In addition, measurements with corresponding specific model aerosols were conducted to analyse their impacts on CuCC. Pollen directly affected CuCC in the SML by increasing the concentration of allochthonous ligands such as proteins. The deposition of BB aerosols rich in nutrients and trace metals stimulated the biological production of organic ligands, showing an indirect effect on CuCC delayed by up to two weeks. Finally, Saharan dust had a negligible impact on CuCC. This study illustrates the susceptibility of oligotrophic coastal area to the effects of pollen and open-fire BB aerosols in altering the Cu-binding organic ligands in the SML.

Abstract
The study of nitrogen (N) transformation in urban ecosystems is crucial in the protection of coastal water bodies because excess N may fuel harmful algae blooms (HABs). The purpose of this investigation was to study and identify the forms and concentrations of N in rainfall, throughfall, and stormwater runoff for 4 storm events in a subtropical urban ecosystem and to use fluorescence spectroscopy to evaluate the optical properties and expected lability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the same samples. The rainfall contained both inorganic and organic N pools, and organic N as nearly 50 % of total dissolved N in the rainfall. As water moved through the urban water cycle, from rainfall to stormwater and from rainfall to throughfall, it was enriched in total dissolved N, with most of the enrichment coming from dissolved organic N. Throughfall fluxes of total dissolved N were as high as 0.67 kg ha-1, compared to 0.44 kg ha-1 from rainfall, suggesting that the urban tree canopy can facilitate anthropogenic subsidies of N to the urban water cycle. Through analysis of sample optical properties, we saw that the throughfall presented the highest humification index and the lowest biological index when compared to rainfall, suggesting throughfall likely consists of higher molecular weight compounds of greater recalcitrance. This study highlights the importance of the dissolved organic N fraction of urban rainfall, stormwater, and throughfall and shows how the chemical composition of dissolved organic nutrients can change as rainfall is transformed into throughfall in the urban tree canopy.

Abstract
In this research, the atmospheric dry and wet deposition fluxes of particulate organic carbon (POC) over the coastal waters around the Yangma Island in North Yellow Sea were investigated. Combining the results of this research and previous reports about the wet deposition fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in precipitation (FDOC-wet) and dry deposition fluxes of water-dissolvable organic carbon in atmospheric total suspended particles (FDOC-dry) in this area, a synthetic assessment of the influence of atmospheric deposition on the eco-environment was conducted. It was found that the annual dry deposition flux of POC was 1097.9 mg C m-2 a-1, which was approximately 4.1 times that of FDOC-dry (266.2 mg C m-2 a-1). For wet deposition, the annual flux of POC was 445.4 mg C m-2 a-1, accounting for 46.7 % that of FDOC-wet (954.3 mg C m-2 a-1). Therefore, atmospheric POC was mainly deposited through dry process with the contribution of 71.1 %, which was contrary to the deposition of DOC. Considering the indirect input of organic carbon (OC) from atmospheric deposition, that is, the new productivity supported by nutrient input from dry and wet deposition, the total OC input from atmospheric deposition to the study area could be up to 12.0 g C m-2 a-1, highlighting the important role of atmospheric deposition in the carbon cycling of coastal ecosystems. The contribution of direct and indirect input of OC through atmospheric deposition to the dissolved oxygen consumption in total seawater column was assessed to be lower than 5.2 % in summer, suggesting a relatively smaller contribution to the deoxygenation in summer in this region.

Abstract
A total of 37 atmospheric aerosol samples were collected over the Yellow and Bohai Seas (YBS) during four cruises in autumn, winter, spring and summer from 2017 to 2018. The concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) ranged from 1.04 to 15.43 μg m-3 and 0.77-5.49 μg m-3, respectively, with higher values in autumn and winter than in spring and summer. WSOC contributed 68.49 % to OC in summer and 34.55 % in winter and was affected by temperature and relative humidity. Dicarboxylic acid showed a predominance of oxalic acid followed by malonic and then succinic acids. The contributions of secondary sources to OC and WSOC were 54 % and 65.3 %, respectively, indicating the importance of secondary aging in improving the water solubility of OC. The dry deposition flux of WSOC over the YBS was estimated to be 0.87 mg m-2 d-1, which might play a potential role in the marine carbon cycle.

Atmospheric deposition as a direct source of particulate organic carbon in region coastal surface seawater: Evidence from stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis.

Abstract
To assess the source characteristics of coastal aerosols and evaluate the contribution of atmospheric deposition to particulate organic matter in surface seawater, total suspended particulates (TSP) were collected at a shore-based site on the south coast of North Yellow Sea from December 2019 through November 2020. The samples were analyzed for total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrogen (TN) as well as stable carbon and nitrogen isotope (δ13C and δ15N). The results showed that the annual mean concentrations of TOC and TN were 5.36 ± 4.74 and 5.12 ± 6.52 μg m-3, respectively. δ13C fluctuated between -25.1 ‰ and -19.2 ‰ with an annual mean of -24.0 ± 1.0 ‰ and a significant seasonal variation (P < 0.05) characterizing by the enrichment in winter (-23.4 ± 0.6 ‰) compared to other seasons, which was probably related to the massive coal combustion. Besides, δ15N ranged from 7.9 ‰ to 21.1 ‰ with an annual mean of 12.5 ± 2.9 ‰ and a less pronounced seasonal pattern (P = 0.23). The Bayesian isotope-mixing model showed that, annually, the most important source of TSP was biogenic and biomass source (55.5 ± 10.8 %), followed by fossil fuel combustion (31.9 ± 9.0 %), while the marine contribution was less (12.6 ± 2.3 %). For TOC and TN, the dominated sources were fossil fuel combustion (47.7 ± 3.4 %) and biogenic and biomass source (57.3 ± 11.7 %), respectively. Furthermore, the model results indicated that the contribution of atmospheric deposition to suspended particulate matter in surface seawater was 18.0 ± 11.0 %, 17.1 ± 6.7 % and 10.2 ± 2.0 % in autumn, spring and summer, respectively. For particulate organic carbon in surface seawater, the contribution of atmospheric deposition was 35.2 ± 3.5 % in spring, highlighting the huge impact of atmospheric deposition on particulate carbon cycling in coastal waters.

Abstract
The widespread haze pollution over South Asia typically occurs in winter, affecting the abundance of organic aerosols (OA) over the Arabian Sea due to prevailing meteorology. We determined the concentrations of biomass burning (BB) derived anhydrosugars (levoglucosan: Lev, galactosan: Gal, and mannosan: Man), sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, and trehalose) and sugar alcohols (arabitol, mannitol, erythritol, and inositol) over the Arabian Sea during a winter cruise (6-24 December 2018). Molecular distributions revealed predominance of levoglucosan or sucrose. Besides, levoglucosan strongly correlated with mannosan, galactosan, sugar alcohols and elemental carbon, emphasizing their BB-origin. Backward air mass trajectories intercepted by the satellite-based fire counts over the Indo-Gangetic Plain together with relationship between stable carbon isotopic composition of TC (δ13CTC) and levoglucosan-C to organic carbon (%), confirmed the impact of BB-derived OA. A comparison of Lev/Man (av. 16.2) and Lev/K+ (av. 0.27) ratios over the Arabian Sea with the source-emissions revealed their origin from crop-residue burning. Rather high concentrations of Lev over the Arabian Sea compared to those documented over the Bay of Bengal, East China Sea, Sea of Japan and the western North Pacific further suggests a stronger impact of BB in the continental outflow over this marine basin. Besides, Lev/K+ ratios in marine aerosols exponentially decreased with an apparent increase in ambient relative humidity and temperature over the Arabian Sea during the South Asian outflow, implying a photochemical oxidation of BBOA. Such field-based relationship of Lev with the meteorological parameters can be useful for modelling the impact of BBOA on the surface Ocean. Besides, the aeolian input of sugar-C and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) accounted for 83 % and 92 % of that riverine supply to the Arabian Sea, respectively. This means atmospheric dry-deposition of sugars is an important external source of dissolved organic compounds to the surface water.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 844:157130. [PMID: 35792266 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
To address the potential roles of atmospheric wet deposition in carbon cycling in coastal waters, a comprehensive study of the biogeochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in precipitation and the resulting implication in a mariculture area in North Yellow Sea was conducted. The annual mean concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chromophoric and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (CDOM and FDOM) were 1.52 ± 1.52 mg C L-1, 0.36 ± 0.66 m-1 and 0.38 ± 0.35 QSU, respectively. The concentrations of most DOM proxies exhibited significant negative correlations with the corresponding precipitation amount (R2 = 0.15-0.40, P < 0.01), but the dilution effects became less significant when the precipitation amount exceeded 10.2, 10.7, 10.2 and 2.4 mm for DOC, CDOM, highly‑oxygenated and hypoxic structured humic-like substances, respectively. Seasonally, the dominant precipitation type in winter was snowfall, in which the DOM contained more high-molecular-weight compounds with higher aromaticity and humification degree, while the characteristics of DOM in intensive rainfall in summer were contrary to those in winter. The wet deposition flux of DOC to this region was estimated to be 6.31 × 108 g C a-1, which was 3.3 and 1.4 times that of the dry deposition and local riverine input, thereby contributing to 4.0 % of the DOC storage in the study area. In summer, the intensive input of DOC through wet deposition (0.43 g C m-2) to surface seawater could enrich its bioavailable DOC by 10.7 μmol L-1, the complete aerobic decomposition of which would cause an obvious dissolved oxygen depletion in the surface seawater by 21.4 μmol L-1, demonstrating the influence of wet deposition on summer deoxygenation in coastal waters.

Atmospheric wet deposition serves as an important nutrient supply for coastal ecosystems and fishery resources: Insights from a mariculture area in North China. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2022; 182:114036. [PMID: 35985129 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2022.114036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 08/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
To determine the ecological effects of atmospheric wet deposition of dissolved nutrients on the coastal waters around the Yangma Island, rain and snow samples were collected and analyzed at a shore-based site for one year. The wet deposition fluxes of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus (DIN and DIP) and dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus were 69.2, 0.136, 13.3 and 0.143 mmol m-2 a-1, respectively. In summer, the new production fueled by wet deposition accounted for 19.3 % of that in seawater and 16.4 % of the amount of particulate organic carbon ingested by the scallops cultivated in the study area, indicating the potential contribution of wet deposition to fishery resources. Meanwhile, precipitation increased the seasonal average DIN/DIP ratios in surface seawater by 17.7 %, 16.3 %, 23.4 % and 6.5 % in spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively, which could change the composition of ecological community and cause obvious negative impact on the ecosystem and mariculture.

Concentration, Spatial-Temporal Distribution, and Bioavailability of Dissolved Reactive Iron in Northern Coastal China Seawater. JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 2022.

Abstract
The concentrations of total dissolved iron (TdFe) and dissolved reactive iron (DrFe) in the Northern coastal China seawater (Yantai Sishili Bay) in 2018 were determined using cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV). It was found that while the concentrations of TdFe ranged from 27.8 to 82.0 nM, DrFe concentrations changed in a much narrower range from 6.8 to 13.3 nM. The annual mean concentrations of DrFe also ranged from 7.1 to 12.6 nM at the 12 sites monitored over the 4 years of the study (2017–2020). Considering the obvious changes in temperature (T), chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations (Chl a contents were higher in May, July and September than in March and November), and nutrients over a year in this zone, the consumption of DrFe was expected; the supplement of DrFe observed may have resulted from the transformation of strong organically complexed iron by photoreduction and cell surface reduction. Additionally, a pre-liminary conclusion was drawn based on the theoretical calculation of Fe* that the concentration of DrFe was sufficient to meet the phytoplankton demand.
