随着全球变暖和人类活动的加剧,低纬度边缘海浮游植物群落已发生或正在发生变化,并影响整个生态系统结构和功能.综述了加勒比海、阿拉伯海和南中国海(南海)这3个典型低纬度边缘海的浮游植物群落演变格局,分析了其变动的驱动因素及其与全球气候变化的关联,探讨了群落变动对海洋生态系统功能的影响及其效应.在此基础上分析了目前该研究领域的不足以及未来的发展方向,指出应加强低纬度边缘海生态结构与功能的长期观测,以期揭示气候变化和人类活动对生态系统的影响及其效应.

Phytoplankton communities as well as planktonic ecosystem are changing under global climate change(e.g.,warming)and human activities in the low latitude marginal seas.Such changes profoundly affect the whole ecosystem structure and functioning.In this paper,the variations of phytoplankton communities in three typical low latitude marginal seas,the Caribbean Sea,the Arabian Sea,and the South China Sea,were reviewed.The driving factors for these various changes and their correlations with global climate changes were described.The effects of community changes on ecosystem functioning were discussed.The review finally pointed out the deficiencies and future directions of phytoplankton ecology and global changes.The authors highly suggested launching a long-term observation of planktonic ecosystem structure and functioning,and elucidated the underlying mechanism of ecosystem response to climate change and human perturbation in the low latitude marginal seas.
