Research Abstract |
I measured respiration and gross primary productivity in the water during summer and winter period using conventional carbon dioxide system(CO_2 system) parameters and dissolved oxygen(DO) measurements as well as triple oxygen isotope technique in a coral reef, seagrass meadow, and mangrove forest which characterize subtropical and tropical coastal zones. From the results obtained, I revealed that the respiration rate was higher by tens of percent to two-hold in the light compared with in the dark. This indicates that the gross primary production and gross respiration calculated based on CO_2 system and/or DO methods give underestimations on these parameters. The respiration was also higher during summer than winter. But it was revealed that the'' photosynthetic anomaly'' which is used as a basis for calculating gross primary productivity can be incorrect or variable, and that we should further investigate this parameter to be able to calculate the respiration and gross primary production more accurately.
