摘要

海洋浮游动物粪便颗粒的沉降被认为是碳从海洋表层向海底输送的主要途径之一,对研究碳通量和水层—底栖耦合具有重要意义。综述了有关浮游动物粪便的形态、产生率、分解速度和沉降速度的研究,以及近年来沉积物捕捉器样品的研究。虽然通过粪便产生率和沉降速度估计出的粪便通量很大,但是沉积物中粪便颗粒造成的碳通量所占比例不大。因此,对其它沉积途径的研究不容忽视。

Abstract

 The sinking zooplankton fecal pellets had been considered as one of the important component of marine vertical carbon flux. The study on fecal pellets flux is also vital to understand the benthic pelagic coupling. In this paper, the morphology, production rate, decomposition and sinking rate of zooplankton fecal pellets were reviewed. Estimates from above factors showed that fecal pellets played an important role in carbon sedimentation. But the results of sediment traps indicate that fecal pellet carbon constitute only a small part of the POC in the trap. Studies on other sediment processes such as the microbiol food web are needed.
