| Description | Severe human activities in coastal areas have greatly impacted the sources and biogeochemical behaviors of organic matter (OM), including particulate OM (POM) and dissolved OM (DOM). However, few studies have incorporated the indices of POM and DOM to address this issue. Here, a dataset of the combination of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in POM and the optical properties of DOM was presented in Xi Bay, a semi-enclosed bay with a highly developing industrial port in Beibu Gulf, South China, to reveal the origin, distribution, and fate of OM during the rainy season. In the upper bay, depleted δ13C suggested that particulate organic carbon (POC) mainly originated from terrestrial sources. However, the negative relationship between chromophoric DOM (CDOM) and particulate nitrogen (PN) suggested that bacterial-mediated decomposition of POM may be the primary source of CDOM. The negative correlation between humic-like fluorescent components (C1 and C2) and salinity suggested that those two components were mainly affected by terrestrial input. The significant correlation between the protein-like component (C3) and Chl a suggested that C3 was mainly derived from phytoplankton production in the upper bay. In the lower bay, the increase of δ13C values indicated an increased contribution of marine POC. The high levels of CDOM may be due to the decomposition of marine (fresh) POM. However, the low levels of C1 and C2 might be affected by dilution with seawater, and the increa... |
| Abstract | The severe human activities in the coastal areas have greatly impacted the sources and biogeochemical behaviors of organic matter (OM), including particulate OM (POM) and dissolved OM (DOM). However, few studies incorporated the indices of POM and DOM to address this issue. Here, a dataset of combination of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in POM and optical properties of DOM was presented in the Xi Bay, a semi-enclosed bay with a highly developing industrial port in the Beibu Gulf, South China, to reveal the origin, distribution, and fate of OM during the rainy season. In the upper bay, depleted δ13C suggested that particulate organic carbon (POC) mainly originated from terrestrial sources. However, the negative relationship between chromophoric DOM (CDOM) and particulate nitrogen (PN) suggested that bacterial-mediated decomposition of POM may be the primary source of CDOM. The negative correlation between humic-like fluorescent components (C1 and C2) and salinity suggested that those two components were mainly affected by terrestrial input. The significant correlation between protein-like component (C3) and Chl a suggested that C3 was mainly derived from phytoplankton production in the upper bay. In the lower bay, the increase of δ13C values indicated an increased contribution of marine POC. The high levels of CDOM may be due to the decomposition of marine (fresh) POM. However, the low levels of C1 and C2 might be affected by the dilution with seawater, and the increased levels of protein-like C3 were due to enhanced primary production. In addition, the enhancement of δ15N values in both the upper and lower bay indicated serious nitrogen pollution in the bay. This study highlights that the biological production fueled by excess nutrients is the dominant OM dynamic process in the bay with high human impact in the Beibu Gulf. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
