摘要

The lagrangian progression of biogeochemical processes was followed in a filament of the Mauritanian upwelling system, North West Africa, during offshore advection. Inert duel tracers sulphur hexafluoride and helium-3 labelled a freshly upwelled patch of water that was mapped for 8 days. Changes in biological, physical and chemical characteristics were measured including phytoplankton productivity, nitrogen assimilation and regeneration. Freshly upwelled water contained high nutrient concentrations (NO_3~-= 9.0 ± 0.1 μmol L~(-1); PO_4~(3-)=0.7 ± 0.1 μmol L~(-1); Si = 2.7 ± 0.1 μmol L~(-1)) but was depleted in N compared to Redfield stoichiometry (N:P = 13.9:1). A maximum primary productivity rate of 0.7 mol C m~(-2) d~(-1) was measured on the continental shelf, associated with N-assimilation rates of 43.8 nmol L~(-1) h~(-1) for NO_3~-, 32.8 nmol L~(-1) h~(-1) for NH_4~+ and a phytoplankton community dominated by diatoms and flagellates. Indicators of phytoplankton abundance and activity decreased as the labelled water mass transited the continental shelf slope into deeper water, possibly linked to the mixed layer depth exceeding the light penetration depth. By the end of the study, primary productivity rates of 0.1 mol C m~(-2) d~(-1) were measured, associated with N-assimilation rates of 3.9 nmol L~(-1) h~(-1) for NO_3~-, 6.1 nmol L~(-1) h~(-1) for NH_4~+ and lower nutrient concentrations (NO_3~- = 4.6 ± 0.3 μmol L~(-1); PO_4~(3-)= 0.4 ± 0.1 μmol L~(-1); Si = 0.9 ± 0.1 μmol L~(-1)). Nitrogen regeneration and assimilation took place simultaneously; NH_4~+ was regenerated at 9.4-85.0 nmol L~(-1) h~(-1); NH_4~+ was oxidised at 0.30-8.75 nmol L~(-1) h~(-1); NO_2~- was oxidised at 25.55-81.11 nmol L~(-1) h~(-1). Results highlight the importance of regenerated NH_4~+ in sustaining phytoplankton productivity and indicate that the up-welled NO_3~- pool contained an increasing fraction of regenerated NO_3~- as it advected offshore. By calculating this fraction and incorporating it into an f ratio formulation we estimated that of the 12.38 Tg C of annual regional production, 4.73 Tg C was exportable.
