Abstract

Abstract

The biological pump, driven by phytoplankton production and death, plays a crucial role in the ocean’s sequestration of atmospheric CO₂. In particular, marginal seas with high primary productivity show a significant capacity for carbon fixation. Variations in phytoplankton biomass and community structure are key factors influencing the efficiency of the marine biological pump. The Taiwan Strait (TS) is a unique shallow conduit that connects the East China Sea (ECS) and the South China Sea (SCS), which are subject to seasonal monsoons and episodic events (e.g., typhoons and floods). Thus, its planktonic ecosystem is significantly influenced by physical processes such as strong ocean currents, coastal upwelling and river discharge, resulting in noticeable seasonal variability. In this study, we examined spatiotemporal patterns of phytoplankton biomass and community structure using phytoplankton-sourced biomarkers from suspended particles in surface waters across all four seasons from 2019 to 2020 in the TS. The findings highlight notable seasonal disparities in phytoplankton biomass, with spring and summer exhibiting significantly higher levels compared to autumn and winter. In order to determine phytoplankton ecosystem responses to various physical and biological processes on a seasonal scale, we used Empirical Orthogonal/Eigen Function (EOF) analysis to investigate the covarying spatiotemporal patterns of: marine-sourced biomarkers and terrestrial-sourced biomarkers in surface suspended particles, a biomass indicator (Chl a), water-mass indicators [sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), nutrients], and a hydrodynamic indicator [total suspended solids at surface/bottom water, (TSS_S and TSS_B)]. The results identified six physical-biological coupling modes that influence seasonal variations in marine phytoplankton ecosystems within the energetic strait system. Additionally, an in-depth understanding of the coupling between physical process and lipid biomarker signals from suspended particles in the contemporary marine environment can offer valuable insights for interpreting ancient sediment records of phytoplankton ecosystem evolution in the TS.
