Abstract
Coastal sediments serve as an important sink for phosphorus from terrestrial sources, yet the impact of coastal industrialization and urbanization on marine phosphorus cycling remains poorly understood. This study employs the Dual-Mode Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films (DGT) technique to investigate the interplay between dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), dissolved sulfide (S2−), and iron (Fe2+) in surface sediments of Zhelin Bay and Daya Bay. Notably, Zhelin Bay, influenced by agricultural activities, displays significantly elevated Fe2+ (358.64 μg/L) and DRP (38.84 μg/L) levels, compared to the more industrially and urbanization-impacted Daya Bay, which has lower averages (Fe2+: 17.24 μg/L; DRP: 22.67 μg/L). Our analysis reveals strong linear correlations between Fe2+, S2−, and DRP, indicating that these dissolved species predominantly regulate DRP levels. These findings underscore the profound effects of coastal industrialization and urbanization on marine phosphorus dynamics, providing essential insights for the management and restoration of coastal ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
Gondwana Research (GR) is an International Journal aimed to promote high quality research publications on all topics related to solid Earth, particularly with reference to the origin and evolution of continents, continental assemblies and their resources. GR is an "all earth science" journal with no restrictions on geological time, terrane or theme and covers a wide spectrum of topics in geosciences such as geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, structure, petrology, geochemistry, stable isotopes, geochronology, economic geology, exploration geology, engineering geology, geophysics, and environmental geology among other themes, and provides an appropriate forum to integrate studies from different disciplines and different terrains. In addition to regular articles and thematic issues, the journal invites high profile state-of-the-art reviews on thrust area topics for its column, ''GR FOCUS''. Focus articles include short biographies and photographs of the authors. Short articles (within ten printed pages) for rapid publication reporting important discoveries or innovative models of global interest will be considered under the category ''GR LETTERS''.
