    摘要:

    三峡大坝已经蓄水20余年,超过50%以上的三峡库区一级支流持续爆发水华,主要以蓝绿藻和甲藻为优势藻类。研究水华与内源积累的相互关系,将有助于预警三峡库区水华、预测库区生态环境。河流泥芯无疑是研究河流内源生态和水华影响的适宜材料。为此选择同位于三峡库区云阳县的两条一级支流,即水华支流澎溪河和非水华支流磨刀溪,采集两河中游泥芯,在相似的气候和地理条件下研究水华对底泥沉积的影响。通过210Pb定年法确定,澎溪河蓄水后的泥芯沉积深度为45 cm,沉积速率为2.3 cm.a-1,而磨刀溪的沉积深度约为30 cm,沉积速率为1.5 cm.a-1,其仅为澎溪河的65%。泥芯数据显示,蓄水前澎溪河底泥中有机质、TN、TP、溶解性磷(AP)和碱解氮(AN)的平均含量分别为9154.9、454.1、432.1、13.3和60.4 mg.kg-1磨刀溪底泥的相应指标为12342.4、756.5、530.2、17.0和63.2 mg.kg-1,分别比澎溪河高出35%、67%、23%、28%和5%。截至2023年采样时,澎溪河和磨刀溪泥芯底泥OM分别为19182.2和13878.6 mg kg -1,后者仅为前者的72%。澎溪河底泥中TN、TP、AP和AN较蓄水前分别增加了96%、37%、77%和51%,而磨刀溪的增幅仅分别为16%、13%、8%和AN减少2%。对澎溪河和磨刀溪泥芯表层20 cm进行5 cm分样的16S和18S DNA高通量测序,结果显示两河底泥微生物群落种类和组成无显著差异。将泥芯定年、泥芯表层DNA高通量测序与水华期间水体浮游植物群落数据结合分析,则显示2010年至2023年期间,澎溪河泥芯0~5 cm处的甲藻和绿藻相对丰度较15~20 cm处分别增加了2.1倍和0.1倍;而同期内磨刀溪泥芯的甲藻和绿藻相对丰度则分别减少了50%和70%。两河泥芯甲藻相对丰度与其有机质含量呈显著正相关(P< 0.05),表明甲藻水华是蓄水后两河内源有机质沉积差异的主要原因。随着内源有机质的积累,库区水华一级支流未来爆发水华,尤其是甲藻水华的风险将增加。沉积物中有机质含量和内源营养积累动态可作为预测库区支流未来甲藻水华规模的关键指标。

    Abstract:

    After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam for more than 20 years, over 50% of 1st order tributaries have experienced harmful algal blooms (HABs), primarily dominated by Dinoflagellates, Cyanobacteria and Green Algae. Investigating the relationship between HABs and endogenous nutrient accumulation will help in the early warning of HABs and in predicting the ecological environment in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). The sediment cores are undoubtedly valuable materials for studying the effects of internal nutrient accumulation and algal bloom impacts. This study selected two 1st order tributaries both mainly located in Yunyang County of the TGR, namely Pengxi River which have been heavily algal bloomed, and Modao River barely reported with bloom. Sediment cores were collected from both mid-reaches to investigate the effects of blooms on sediment deposition under similar climatic and geographic conditions. Through the 210Pb dating methods, the sedimentation deposition depths after TGR impoundment in Pengxi and Modao River were 45cm and 30cm, with average sedimentation rates of 2.3 and 1.5cm.a-1, respectively, showing Modao River was only 65% of Pengxi River in this rate. The sediment cores show that prior to impoundment of TGR, the average contents of organic matter (OM), TN, TP, Available Phosphorus (AP), and Alkali-hydrolyzable Nitrogen (AN) in Pengxi River sediments were 9154.9, 454.1, 432.1, 13.3, and 60.4 mg.kg?1, respectively; in Modao River, the respective values were 12342.4, 756.5, 530.2, 17.0, and 63.2 mg.kg?1, which were 35%, 67%, 23%, 28%, and 5% higher than those in Pengxi River. As of the 2023 layer in the core, OM content in Pengxi and Modao River sediments was 19182.2 and 13878.6 mg.kg?1, respectively, with the latter being only 72% of the former. TN, TP, AP, and AN in Pengxi River sediments increased by 96%, 37%, 77%, and 51%, respectively, compared to its pre-impoundment levels, while Modao River showed increases of 16%, 13%, 8%, with AN decreasing by 2% based on the similar relative comparison. The results of 16S and 18S DNA high-throughput sequencing of 5 cm sections from the top 20 cm of the sediment cores revealed no significant differences in the microbial community composition between the two rivers. However, combining core dating, surface DNA sequencing and phytoplankton community data during bloom periods indicated that between 2010 and 2023, the relative abundances of Dinoflagellates and Green Algae in the 0~5 cm layer of Pengxi River cores increased by 2.1 and 0.1 times, respectively, compared to the 15~20 cm layer. Conversely, in Modao River during the same period, Dinoflagellates and Green Algae relative abundances decreased by 50% and 70%, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between the relative abundance of Dinoflagellates and organic matter in both rivers" sediment cores (P<0.05), suggesting that Dinoflagellate blooms are the primary cause of the differences in endogenous organic matter deposition post-impoundment. As endogenous organic matter accumulates, the risk of future algal blooms, especially Dinoflagellate blooms, in the 1st order tributaries of TGR will increase. Organic matter content and the dynamics of endogenous nutrient accumulation in sediments could serve as key indicators for predicting the future scale of Dinoflagellate blooms in the tributaries of the reservoir.
