摘要

Carbon isotope ratios (C-13/C-12) can be used to trace sources of production supporting food chains, as delta C-13 undergoes relatively small and predictable increases (similar to 0.5%0) through each trophic level. However, for this technique to be precise, variation in delta C-13 signatures of different sources of production (baseline sources) must be clearly defined and distinct from each other. Despite this, delta C-13 in the primary producers of marine systems are highly variable over space and time, due to the complexity of physical and biogeochemical processes that drive delta C-13 variation at the base of these foodwebs. We measured spatial and temporal variation in the delta C-13 of two species of macroalgae that are important dietary components of grazers over temperate reefs: the small kelp Ecklonia radiata, and the red alga Plocamium preissianum, and related any variation to a suite of physical and biogeochemical variables. Patterns in delta C-13 variation, over different spatial (10 s m to 100 km) and temporal scales (weeks to seasons), differed greatly between taxa, but these were partly explained by the delta C-13 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and light. However, while the delta C-13 in Ecklonia radiata was not related to water temperature, a highly significant proportion of the spatio-temporal variation in delta C-13 of Plocamium preissianum was explained by temperature alone. Accordingly, we applied this relationship to project (across temperate Australasia) and forecast (in time, south-western Australia) patterns in Plocamium preissianum delta C-13. The mean projected delta C-13 for Plocamium preissianum in the study region varied by only similar to 1%0 over a 12-month period, compared to similar to 3%0 over 2000 km. This illustrates the potential scale in the shift of delta C-13 in baseline food sources over broad scales, and its implications to food web studies. While we show that those relationships differ across taxonomic groups, we recommend developing models to explain variability in delta C-13 of other baseline sources to facilitate the interpretation of variation in delta C-13 of consumers in food webs, particularly where data for baselines are absent over broad scales.
