摘要

Seawater CO2 concentrations are steadily increasing in the Taiwan Strait of the Southeast China, while the effects of rising CO2 on carbon fixation and elemental composition of phytoplankton assemblages in this area are still poorly understood. Here, we enriched the seawater CO2 concentrations to 808 μatm and above to simulate the CO2–induced ocean acidification, and investigated the effects of CO2 enrichment on concentrations of chlorophyll (Chl) a, particulate organic carbon (POC), nitrogen (PON) and phosphorus (POP), the C:N:P ratio, and phytoplankton community composition in the coastal surface seawaters of the northwest Taiwan Strait in autumn 2023 and spring 2024 through an outdoor incubation experiment. After three days of incubation, CO2 enrichment increased the concentrations of Chl a by 1–14%, POC by 21–32% and PON by 21–56%, whereas reduced the POP concentrations by 1–37%, leading to elevated ratios of POC:POP and PON:POP. Furthermore, elevated CO2 level enhanced cell abundances of the dominant diatom genera at three stations. These results suggest that phytoplankton has the potential to buffer against rising atmospheric CO2 level and can help us to understand the elemental biogeochemistry in the Taiwan Strait under future ocean acidification scenarios.
