Fate and transport of terrestrial materials to sea and their effect on coastal eutrophication, deoxygenation and acidification
Rivers transport suspended and dissolved material from the land to the coastal ocean and strongly influence a marine ecosystem. Human activities and climate change have caused large increases in fluvial material fluxes to marginal sea leading to harmful algal blooms jellyfish blooms, hypoxia, and ocean acidification eutrophication. Consequently, the stability of the marine ecosystem has been severely threatened, and the evolution of physical–ecological environments in marginal seas has become a scientific issue that has drawn great attention. The flux variation in terrestrial input (mainly rivers and submarine groundwater discharge) materials plays of essential important role in controlling the change in the coastal environment. Because of its distinct impacts on marine ecosystems, the long-term variation of nutrients and pollutants in marginal seas has gradually become an important topic in marine biogeochemistry. However, because the land-ocean system is highly dynamic in time and space, More time series and spatial coverage of the data are urgently needed. In such cases, long-term and extensive data are invaluable resources to follow the process and mechanism of environmental concern at present.
Land-ocean is very dynamic on different time scales due to the enhanced human influence. While land-ocean interaction is poorly documented, as well as their process, effect and mechanism of eutrophication, deoxygenation and acidification. Thanks to the great process of observations, processes, effects and mechanisms can be studied in a comprehensive way. All these observations and efforts will help us to improve our acknowledgment of the interaction of land-ocean and its effect on coastal eutrophication, deoxygenation and acidification.
In this Research Topic, we invite original and review articles using observations from a wide range of sources, including in-situ observations, satellites, buoy systems, and modeling approaches. Space-based measurements of aquatic systems with a combination of high temporal and spatial resolutions are preferred for describing the fate and transport characteristics of contaminants in aquatic systems. Any innovative prediction tools and observations that improve short- and long-term acknowledgment of the fate and transport of contaminants in the aquatic environment are particularly welcome.
The including but not limited to scope:
(1) Long-term variation of material flux from land to sea.
(2)The change of ecological environment in marginal sea and its response to the material flux into the sea
(3) Mechanisms and countermeasures of the environmental changes in the land-ocean system
Prediction of short- and long-term environmental changes in the land-ocean system under the background of enhanced human activities and climate change
(4) Datasets reconstruction and impact simulation of the ecosystem in the land-ocean based on advanced big data and AI technologies
(5) Strategies and tactics in engaging the public for aquatic disaster management
(6)SGD contributions to the nutrient and carbon budget, formation of coastal environmental problems, such as eutrophication, deoxygenation and acidification.
