海洋雪 Marine Snow.ppt

Marine Snow Contents: The composition: 1. Aggregates of inorganic particles(无机颗粒) 2. Plankton cells（浮游细胞） 3. Detristus from dead or dying plankton （已 死或将死的浮游生物残骸 ） 4. Zooplankton fecal materials （浮游动物排泄物） 5. Matrix of polymers from phytoplankton and bacteria（浮游生物和细菌中的基质聚合物） Formation: The marine snow and carbon cycle： A proportion of the photosynthetically fixed carbon ia transported from the surface of the ocean to the seafloor by the sinking of the marine snow. However,as the particles sink, organic material can be degraded by the microbial population. Thus, much of the carbon is recycled, and some reaches the ocean bottom. The marine snow and carbon cycle： ： ? 根据发表在《自然—地球科学》上的一篇研究文章称，大部分海洋浮游植物碎片在海洋表面210米以下就被海洋生物吃掉，又产生大量的二氧化碳,释放到大气中。而如果这一深度向下延伸24米，海洋就能从大气中多吸收储存百万分之二十七的二氧化碳。因为海雪沉降的越深，就会有更多的富含碳的物质到达海床。 Your site here LOGO 1. The composition of the marine snow 2. The formation of the marine snow 3. The marine snow and carbon cycle Back Marine snow is mainly produced in the upper100-200m of the water column First Second Third Produce mucopolysac-charides(粘多糖) in dying diatoms’ walls,form the nucleus for snow Aggregates form as a result of collision and coagulation,of primary partocles.meanwhile,the colonizing flagellates and ciliates also collect particles from the surrounding water Then the snow particle grow and sink from the surface to the ocean deep like falling snowflakes.
