Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coupled simulation of marine ecological dynamics and biogeochemical processes, and particularly relates to a method for regulating the competitive evolution mechanism of marine diatoms and dinoflagellates by nutrient salts and enzyme activity. Background Art

[0002] Coastal ecosystems have important ecological, social and economic values. However, the levels and structures of coastal nutrient salts are constantly changing, which may lead to ecological and environmental problems such as the large-scale reproduction of harmful algal blooms, seasonal hypoxia, and seawater acidification in coastal ecosystems, and are not conducive to the health and sustainable development of coastal ecosystems. The large increase in the discharge of land-source nitrogen and phosphorus into the sea, with the increase in nitrogen nutrient salts far higher than that of phosphorus nutrient salts, has led to significant changes in the levels and structural compositions of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient salts. These changes not only cause the imbalance of the nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient salt structures, but also make the organic nutrient substances the main form, which promotes the evolution of the marine phytoplankton community structure. Quantitatively analyzing the regulatory effect of the transformation of nutrient salt patterns on the competitive evolution of marine diatoms and dinoflagellates is of great significance for clarifying the evolution trend of the marine phytoplankton community structure and marine ecological protection.

[0003] At present, for the quantitative analysis of the competitive evolution mechanism of marine diatoms and dinoflagellates, ecological dynamics models such as NPZD and CoSiNE are mainly used. Among them, the NPZD model, the full name of which is the Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Detritus ecological dynamics model, is a classic biogeochemical model used to study the dynamics of marine ecosystems, mainly focusing on the interactions between nutrient salts, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and organic detritus; the CoSiNE model, the full name of which is the Carbon-Silicate-Nitrogen ecological dynamics coupling model, is a kinetic model used to study the relevant connections in the cycling processes of phytoplankton and carbon, silicon, and nitrogen in the marine ecosystem; these ecological dynamics models use relatively simple multiple state variables such as nutrient salts, large algae, small algae, and biological detritus, mainly refining the description of the biogeochemical processes of nutrient salts and plankton; although the above analysis methods classify phytoplankton groups, they lack the regulation of the biogeochemical processes of nutrient salts by extracellular enzymes based on gene control in diatoms and dinoflagellates in the model architecture, and the description of the biogeochemical processes of organic nutrient salts is also not fine enough, making it difficult to accurately and quantitatively analyze the evolution process of diatoms and dinoflagellates in the ocean.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides a method for regulating the competitive evolution mechanism of marine diatoms-dinoflagellates by nutrient-enzyme activity, comprising the following steps: Construct an NEDF model, the NEDF model includes a nutrient module, a phytoplankton module and a detritus module; The nutrient module is used to simulate the migration and transformation process of nutrients in the marine environment; the nutrients are nitrogen nutrients, phosphorus nutrients and silicon nutrients; nitrogen nutrients are ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, reactive dissolved organic nitrogen and inert dissolved organic nitrogen; phosphorus nutrients are reactive phosphate, reactive dissolved organic phosphorus and inert dissolved organic phosphorus; silicon nutrients are silicate; The phytoplankton module is used to simulate the growth and decay process of phytoplankton in the marine environment, including a diatom sub-module and a dinoflagellate sub-module; the diatom sub-module includes diatom bioactive nitrogen, diatom bioactive phosphorus, diatom bioactive silicon and diatom biomass; the dinoflagellate sub-module includes dinoflagellate bioactive nitrogen, dinoflagellate bioactive phosphorus and dinoflagellate biomass; the phytoplankton includes dinoflagellates and diatoms; The detritus module is used to simulate the process of phytoplankton turning into particulate nitrogen, particulate phosphorus and particulate silicon of cell detritus after death, as well as the mineralization process; the detritus module includes particulate nitrogen of detritus, particulate phosphorus of detritus, particulate silicon of detritus, particulate nitrogen of diatom cell detritus, particulate phosphorus of diatom cell detritus, particulate nitrogen of dinoflagellate cell detritus and particulate phosphorus of dinoflagellate cell detritus; Among them, according to the principle of dual-algae niche competition regulated by nutrients and enzyme activity, the NEDF model couples the processes of nutrient uptake, assimilation and secretion with the photosynthesis-metabolism-death process of phytoplankton, and uses the genes of diatoms and dinoflagellates to regulate the secretion of extracellular enzymes to regulate the uptake and assimilation processes of dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus, and simulates the growth, metabolism, secretion, death and apoptosis of diatoms and dinoflagellates under different nutrient patterns; By detecting the biomass of phytoplankton, studying the growth and decay process of phytoplankton, further obtaining the dependence degree of phytoplankton on nutrients, and using the NEDF model, analyzing the mechanism of the competition evolution between diatoms and dinoflagellates under different marine nutrients.

[0015] A method for regulating the competition evolution mechanism of marine diatoms-dinoflagellates by nutrients and enzyme activity according to the present invention describes the changes of phytoplankton through the dynamic interaction of four modules of nutrients-diatoms-dinoflagellates-detritus. Nutrients include nitrogen nutrients, phosphorus nutrients and silicon nutrients. Phytoplankton grows by absorbing and assimilating nutrients, while nutrients also have a limiting effect on the growth of phytoplankton. Due to the differences in the preference for nutrient structure and growth strategies of different phytoplankton, competition and succession occur. Diatoms have a high affinity for inorganic nitrogen and can dominate the environment rich in inorganic nitrogen; while dinoflagellates adapt to the limiting environment of high nitrogen-phosphorus ratio by converting and utilizing organic nutrients. Detritus realizes the remineralization process of nutrients through processes such as microbial decomposition, releases organic nutrients back into the water body to form a regeneration cycle, and phytoplankton will also be converted into detritus through death processes, dissolution processes, etc.

[0016] Compared with the traditional NPZD model, the NEDF model of the present invention removes the zooplankton module, modifies the phytoplankton module and introduces a competition mechanism between two types of algae. The phytoplankton is divided into diatoms and dinoflagellates, and their growth, metabolism, death and other processes are simulated respectively. The nutrient module is not simply divided into dissolved inorganic nitrogen, dissolved organic nitrogen, dissolved inorganic phosphorus and dissolved organic phosphorus; instead, DIN is divided into NH4-N, NO3-N and NO2-N; DON is divided into LDON and RDON; DIP is PO4-P; DOP is divided into LDOP and RDOP. Moreover, the detritus module is refined, and the detritus is divided into phytoplankton cell detritus and particulate detritus, the loss of organic matter in dead cell bodies and the process of detritus mineralization are distinguished, and the process of cell disintegration is supplemented.

[0017] In the NEDF model of the present invention, diatoms rapidly absorb dissolved inorganic nitrogen, reactive phosphate and silicate according to the R strategy; dinoflagellates maintain low growth and death rates according to the K strategy, and they can absorb all forms of nitrogen, PO4 and LDOP. The processes of diatoms and dinoflagellates absorbing and assimilating dissolved organic nutrients are restricted by enzyme activity regulatory factors. Among them, the activity of dissolved organic nitrogen degrading enzymes such as leucine aminopeptidase is regulated by nitrogen-limitation up-regulation control genes, and the activity of dissolved organic phosphorus degrading enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase is regulated by phosphorus-limitation up-regulation control genes, and diatoms and dinoflagellates are distinguished. The absorption strategy adopts the principle of competitive absorption. In addition, the processes of respiration, metabolism and secretion are subdivided in the growth and decay process of phytoplankton. The respiration process and the secretion process are combined into one item and reflected as the proportion item of photosynthesis, and the C, N, P metabolic secretion processes regulated by enzyme activity are supplemented. The larger the proportion of RDON, under the condition of environmental nitrogen deficiency, the nitrogen metabolism and photosynthesis genes of diatoms and dinoflagellate cells are up-regulated, the nitrogen-related extracellular enzyme activity increases, the metabolic rate increases, and the secretion of cell DON and DOC is promoted; for dinoflagellates, the metabolic secretion process under the condition of RDOP limitation is supplemented, that is, the larger the proportion of RDOP, under the condition of environmental phosphorus deficiency, the phosphorus metabolism genes of cells are up-regulated, the phosphorus-related extracellular enzyme activity increases, the metabolic rate increases, and the secretion of cell DOP is promoted.

[0018] The NEDF model of the present invention describes the biogeochemical processes of marine nutrients and the competition and evolution mechanism between diatoms and dinoflagellates more precisely and comprehensively, the logical framework is more perfect, and it is closer to the actual ecosystem. By introducing physiological responses and molecular biological mechanisms, the present invention reveals the driving mechanism of the evolution of the phytoplankton community structure in the Bohai Sea, and provides a scientific basis and application value for the prediction of harmful algal blooms in the Bohai Sea and the health assessment of the ecosystem.

The NEDF model includes four major modules: a nutrient module, a diatom module, a dinoflagellate and detritus module; it is composed of 23 state variables including ammonium nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, reactive dissolved organic nitrogen, refractory dissolved organic nitrogen, inorganic phosphorus, reactive dissolved organic phosphorus, refractory dissolved organic phosphorus, silicate, particulate nitrogen of diatom phytoplankton, particulate nitrogen of dinoflagellate phytoplankton, particulate nitrogen of diatom cell debris, particulate nitrogen of dinoflagellate cell debris, particulate nitrogen of detritus, particulate phosphorus of diatom phytoplankton, particulate phosphorus of dinoflagellate phytoplankton, particulate phosphorus of diatom cell debris, particulate phosphorus of dinoflagellate cell debris, particulate phosphorus of detritus, particulate silicon of diatom phytoplankton, particulate silicon of detritus, diatom phytoplankton and dinoflagellate phytoplankton, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0051] Figure 2This is the logical architecture of the NEDF model of the present invention, where (1) represents the microbial degradation of dissolved organic nitrogen; (2) represents the oxidation of NH4-N; (3) represents the nitrification of NO2-N; (4) represents the conversion of reactive dissolved organic nitrogen to refractory dissolved organic nitrogen; (5) represents the absorption process and growth process of phytoplankton regulated by enzyme activity; (6) represents the metabolic process of phytoplankton, represented by particulate phytoplankton; (7) represents the death process of phytoplankton, represented by particulate phytoplankton; (8) represents the degradation of dead algal cells into detritus; (9) represents the lysis and release of dead algal cells; (10) represents the microbial degradation of detritus; (11) represents the microbial degradation of dissolved organic phosphorus; (12) represents the conversion of reactive dissolved organic phosphorus to refractory dissolved organic phosphorus.

[0052] On the one hand, the NEDF model of the present invention couples the processes of nutrient uptake, assimilation, and secretion with the photosynthesis-metabolism-death processes of phytoplankton. On the other hand, considering the representativeness of regionality and interdecadal evolution, as well as the coupling of physiological response and molecular biology, it combines the absorption and assimilation of organic matter by extracellular enzyme activity under gene control, and quantitatively analyzes the kinetic parameters of the growth, metabolism, death processes of diatoms-dinoflagellates in the Bohai Sea and the nutrient uptake, assimilation, and secretion processes under different nutrient patterns.

[0053] Subsequently, based on the marine nutrient-diatom-dinoflagellate competition-detritus ecological dynamics model, the present invention obtains the relevant parameters such as the growth and death of phytoplankton and their uptake of nutrients, and analyzes the parameter changes under different conditions; through the changes in light, temperature, and nutrient structure in different decades, it conducts simulation analysis to clarify the nutrient-driven mechanism of the community structure evolution of diatoms-dinoflagellates in the Bohai Sea, providing a basis for further clarifying the steady-state transformation mechanism of the phytoplankton community structure in the Bohai Sea.

[0054] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0055] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
