Embodiment 1

[0023] The method for accelerating the calcification of corals into reefs by anti-acidification of marine reef-building corals in the present invention includes the following steps:

[0024] Such as figure 1 As shown, a water tower 1 (30 cubic meters) is built on the coral reef coast, and an upstream lye release device 3 (porous water pipe) and a downstream lye release device 4 (porous water pipe) are respectively arranged upstream and downstream of the tidal current in the coral reef area 2 of nearly one acre , The upstream lye release device and the downstream lye release device are respectively connected to the output port of the reversing valve 5 through a pipe, and the input port of the reversing valve 5 is connected to the water tower through a pipe, between the water tower and the reversing valve The pipeline is also equipped with a water pump 6, and in the coral reef area, between the upstream lye release device and the downstream lye release device, there are also a pH p...

Abstract

The invention discloses an acidification preventing and coral calcification and reef formation accelerating method for a marine scleractinian coral sea area. An alkali solution is put to a coral reefarea in an acidified sea area. An intelligent switch valve is adopted, and putting of the alkali solution is adjusted automatically according to the sea pH and the flow direction. By adopting the method of the invention, the alkalinity and the pH can be promoted, and corals and other organisms can grow in a healthier water body. An ideal marine environment can be provided for marine reef-buildingorganisms, calcification of corals into reefs is accelerated, and the coral calcification speed is increased by one to three times.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention relates to the application in the area of ​​ecosystem degradation caused by ocean acidification, and specifically to the use of NaOH and Ca(OH) 2 Solution enrichment technology improves the alkalinity of coral reef areas to prevent the degradation of reef-building corals and other calcified organisms caused by ocean acidification. Background technique: [0002] Coral reef ecosystem has extremely high species diversity, and as one of the ecosystems with extremely high productivity in the ocean, it is called "oasis in tropical ocean desert" and "tropical rain forest in ocean". In recent years, due to the intensification of human activities such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation, CO emissions into the atmosphere 2 Dramatic increase. Increasing atmospheric CO 2 About 1 / 3 of it is absorbed by the ocean, which lowers the pH of the sea water and changes the carbonate balance. According to the prediction of the Intergovernmental Panel...
