Density Zoning and Formation Mechanism of Seagrass Beds in Caofeidian Based on Spatial Heterogeneity Analysis
-
摘要: 以我国现存面积最大的曹妃甸海草床作为研究对象，采用遥感解译、现场调查和模型解析相结合的方法，开展了曹妃甸海草床密度量化分区及其空间异质性形成机制研究。通过高分辨率卫星遥感影像解译并结合现场实地验证，获得了曹妃甸海草床“北密南疏”分布格局下三类核心分区的量化数据（密集区：面积7.31 km2，占比18.34%；中等密集区：面积10.36 km2，占比26.00%；稀疏区：面积22.18 km2，占比55.66%），整体分布呈现出斑块化嵌合分布的特征。基于现场调查获取的光照、铵盐、底质密度等10项环境资料，运用多层感知器–人工神经网络（MLP-ANN）模型解析发现，底质内摩擦角（贡献率18%）、水体温度（贡献率15%）、底质磷酸盐（贡献率15%）是影响海草床密度分区的核心因子，且累计影响占比达48%。研究表明，曹妃甸海草床的密度分区是由自然动力因素与人为活动共同作用形成的：南部区域由于潮汐海流较强，导致底质遭受冲刷，同时叠加油田勘探、航道疏浚等工程活动以及陆源污染的影响，形成了“底质扰动–营养失衡”的退化链；北部区域远离这些扰动源，并且经过生态修复，底质条件得到优化，从而为中高密度海草床区域的形成提供了支撑。本研究填补了曹妃甸海草床密度分区量化研究及其机制研究方面的不足，为渤海湾海草床的科学评估及有效修复提供了科学依据和技术范式。Abstract: Taking the Caofeidian seagrass bed—the largest existing seagrass bed in China—as the research object, this study adopted a combined method of remote sensing interpretation, field investigation, and model analysis to carry out research on the quantitative zoning of density and the formation mechanism of spatial heterogeneity of the Caofeidian seagrass bed. Through the interpretation of high-resolution satellite remote sensing images and combined with on-site field verification, the quantitative data of three core zoning types under the spatial pattern of “dense in the north and sparse in the south” of the Caofeidian seagrass bed were obtained, namely the dense area (with an area of 7.31 km2, accounting for 18.34%), the moderately dense area (with an area of 10.36 km2, accounting for 26.00%), and the sparse area (with an area of 22.18 km2, accounting for 55.66%). On the whole, it shows the characteristics of patchy mosaic distribution. Based on 10 environmental data items (including illumination, ammonium, and sediment density) obtained from field investigations, an MLP-ANN (Multilayer Perceptron-Artificial Neural Network) model was used for analysis, and it was found that the internal friction angle of sediment (contribution: 18%), water temperature (contribution: 15%), and sediment phosphate (contribution: 15%) were the core driving factors affecting the density zoning of the seagrass bed, with a cumulative influence accounting for 48%. The research results indicated that the density zoning of the Caofeidian seagrass bed is formed by thejoint effect of natural dynamic factors and human activities: in the southern region, strong tidal currents cause sediment scouring, and superimposed on the impacts of engineering activities such as oilfield exploration and channel dredging, as well as land-based pollution, forming the degradation chain of “sediment disturbance - nutrient imbalance”; the northern region is far from these disturbance sources, and through ecological restoration, the sediment conditions have been optimized, thus providing support for the formation of the medium-to-high density seagrass bed areas. This study fills the gaps in the quantitative research on the density zoning of the Caofeidian seagrass bed and the research on its formation mechanism, and provides a scientific basis and technical paradigm for the scientific assessment and effective restoration of seagrass beds in the Bohai Bay.
