Problems solved by technology

Reduce the pH of seawater and the concentration of carbonate ions, affecting the calcification of reef-building corals, making reef-building corals fragile and easily damaged, slowing down or even stopping the reef-building process, and eventually causing large-scale dissolution of coral reefs

Embodiment 1

[0023] The method for accelerating coral calcification into reefs by anti-acidification in marine reef-building stony coral sea areas of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0024] like figure 1 As shown, water tower 1 (30 cubic meters) is set up on the coral reef coast, and upstream and downstream of the coral reef area 2 tidal current of nearly one mu are respectively arranged with upstream lye release device 3 (porous water pipe) and downstream lye release device 4 (porous water pipe) , the upstream lye release device and the downstream lye release device are respectively connected to each other through the output port of the reversing valve 5 through the pipeline, and the input port of the reversing valve 5 is connected to the water tower through the pipeline again, and between the water tower and the reversing valve Also be provided with water pump 6 on the pipeline, also be provided with pH probe 7 and Doppler flow meter 8 in coral reef area, between up...

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 applications in areas of degraded ecosystems due to ocean acidification, and specifically relates to the use of NaOH and Ca(OH) 2 Solution enrichment techniques increase the alkalinity of coral reef zones to prevent the degradation of reef-building stony corals and other calcifying organisms caused by ocean acidification. Background technique: [0002] The coral reef ecosystem has extremely high species diversity, and as one of the most productive ecosystems in the ocean, it is known as "an oasis in the tropical marine desert" and "a tropical rainforest in the 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 the water is absorbed by the ocean, which lowers the pH of the seawater and changes the carbonate balance. According to the prediction of the Unite...
