Seasonal variations of particulate silicon in the Changjiang (Yangtze River) Estuary and its adjacent area
CAO Lu, LIU Sumei, REN Jingling
2013, 32(4): 1-10. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0293-5
Abstract:
Temporal and spatial distribution of biogenic (BSi) and lithogenic (LSi) silica were studied in the Changjiang (Yangtze River) Estuary and its adjacent area. The annual average BSi and LSi concentrations were (1.71±1.79) μmol/L and (0.56±1.41) mmol/L...
Nitrate δ15N and δ18O evidence for active biological transformation in the Changjiang Estuary and the adjacent East China Sea
CHEN Fajin, CHEN Jianfang, JIA Guodong, JIN Haiyan, XU Jie, YANG Zhi, ZHUANG Yanpei, LIU Xizhen, ZHANG Haisheng

Abstract:
The Changjiang Estuary has been considered as one of the most polluted estuaries in the world due to high nitrate (NO3-) input, especially in spring and summer. In this study, δ15N and δ18O of NO3-, along with other chemical parameters in this area, ...
Sources and distributions of terrigenous organic matter in a mangrove fringed small tropical estuary in South China
BAO Hongyan, WU Ying, TIAN Lixin, ZHANG Jing, ZHANG Guiling
2013, 32(4): 18-26. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0295-3
Abstract:
The sources and distributions of terrigenous organic matter (OM) were investigated in a small tropical estuary in the Hainan Island, South China. Plants, suspended particulate matter (SPM), and surface sediments samples in the estuary and coast were ...
Response of bedload transport, submarine topography, and dune internal structures to typhoon processes off Dongfang coast in the Beibu Gulf
MA Xiaochuan, YAN Jun, FAN Fengxin, YAO Ping
2013, 32(4): 27-40. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0296-2
Abstract:
Bedload sediment transport was estimated by the SEDTRANS96 model based on three-day hydrodynamics data obtained off the Dongfang coast in the Beibu Gulf during Typhoon Ketsana in September 2009. Bedforms on the sea floor off the Dongfang coast and in...
Assessment of structural stability in Bohai Sea area based on AHP-GDM model
XIU Zongxiang, LIU Baohua, XIE Qiuhong, LI Xishuang, LIU Chenguang, PEI Yanliang, ZHENG Yanpeng
2013, 32(4): 41-48. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0297-1
Abstract:
The AHP-GDM model is used for the assessment of structural stability, with the Bohai Sea area as an example. In this model, the credit degree of each expert is calculated through the assessment matrix based on the similarity and diversity of vector. ...
Characteristics and provenance implication of detrital minerals since Marine Isotope Stage 3 in Core SYS-0701 in the western South Huanghai Sea
ZHANG Junqiang, LIU Jian, WANG Hongxia, XU Gang, QIU Jiandong, YUE Baojing, ZHAO Guangtao
2013, 32(4): 49-58. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0281-9
Abstract:
The previous studies of the sedimentology and chronology of sediment core SYS-0701, which was recovered from the western South Huanghai Sea (Yellow Sea), have revealed the changes in the sea-level and sedimentary evolution during the late Quaternary ...
The complete mitochondrial genome of the grey bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium griseum) (Orectolobiformes: Hemiscylliidae): genomic characterization and phylogenetic application
CHEN Xiao, AI Weiming, YE Le, WANG Xuehui, LIN Chongwen, YANG Shengyun
2013, 32(4): 59-65. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0298-0
Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of the grey bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium griseum (Orectolobiformes:Hemiscylliidae) was obtained, with a total of 16 755 base pairs (bp). The mitogenome encoded 13 proteincoding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer R...
Latitudinal changes (6°S-20°N) of summer ciliate abundance and species compositions in surface waters from the Java Sea to the South China Sea
LIU Huaxue, LI Gang, TAN Yehui, KE Zhixin, HUANG Jianrong, HUANG Liangmin
2013, 32(4): 66-70. doi: 10.1007/s13131-013-0299-z
Abstract:
Ciliates play a curial role in energy transfer from pico-and nano-phytoplankton to mesozooplankton in marine ecosystems. In order to visualize their geographical distributions from the Java Sea to the South China Sea (6°S to 20°N), the authors invest...
