Abstract

We used an oxygen microelectrode to measure the vertical profiles of oxygen concentration in sediments located near point sources of organic matter. The measurements were carried out between 13th and 17th May, 2003, in semi-closed bay and coastal sediments in the central part of the South Sea. The measured oxygen penetration depths were extremely shallow and ranged from 1.30 to 3.80 mm. This suggested that the oxidation and reduction reactions in the early diagenesis should be studied at the mm depth scale. In order to estimate the oxygen consumption rate, we applied the one-dimension diffusion-reaction model to vertical profiles of oxygen near the sediment/water interface. Oxygen consumption rates were estimated to be between 10.8 and 27.6 mmol O$_2$ m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/(average: 19.1 mmol O$_2$ m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/). These rates showed a positive correlation with the organic carbon of the sediments. The corresponding benthic organic carbon oxidation rates calculated using an modified Redfield ratio (170/110) at the sediment/water interface were in the range of 89.5-228.1 mg C m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/(average: 158.0 mg C m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/). We suggest that these results are maximum values at the presents situation in the bay because the sampling sites were located near point sources of organic materials. This study will need to be carried out at many coastal sites and throughout the seasons to allow an understanding of the mechanisms of eutrophication e.g. the spatial distribution of oxygen consumption within the oxic zone and hypoxic conditions in the coastal sea.

남해 중부해역 반폐쇄성 만과 유기오염 유입원이 다수 존재하는 7개 연안에서 2003년 5월 13일부터 17일에 걸쳐 산소 미세전극을 이용 공극수내 산소의 수직분포를 측정하였다. 관측된 산소투과깊이 범위는 1.30∼3.80 mm로 매우 작았다. 극히 얕은 산화층 존재는 초기속성 작용 연구 중 산화$.$환원 반응연구를 최소한 mm 단위로 연구할 필요성을 제시한다. 공극수 수직분포에 1차 확산-반응 모델을 적용하여 추정된 퇴적물/해수 계면에서 산소소모율 범위 는 10.8∼27.6 mmol $O_2$ m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$(평균 19.1 mmol $O_2$ m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$)였고 퇴적물 유기탄소 농도와 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 플럭스에 산소 대 탄소 비 (170/110)를 적용하여 추정한 유기탄소 산화율은 89.5∼228.1 mg C m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$(평균: 158.0 mg C m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$)였다. 이들 결과는 남해중부 해역중 유기물 유입이 많은 지역을 대상으로 한 결과로 남해 평균 값 중 최대값으로 생각되며 연안환경의 부영양화 및 빈산소 수괴 형성 기작을 밝히기 위해서는 이러한 연구가 보다 많은 지역에서 계절적으로 수행되어져야 할 것으로 생각한다.
