“…Turner et al (1996) found locally concentrations up to 311 nmol L − 1 during that same month, which is in good agreement with our maximum of 268 nmol L − 1 at station 120 in early May. As previously shown by van Duyl et al (1998), the DMS peak coincided with the Phaeocystis bloom and DMSP maxima rather than following it, as a result of the fast growth of DMS-consuming bacteria after the bloom, and emission to the atmosphere preventing accumulation of DMS in water. The maximum DMS concentrations we report (255 nmol L − 1 ) were similar to maximum values reported by other studies in coastal near-shore areas of the North Sea (Kwint and Kramer, 1996;van Duyl et al, 1998) and were higher than those reported in the deeper and seasonally stratified northern North Sea, with maximum DMS values of 5 nmol L − 1 reported during a bloom of coccolithophores (Archer et al, 2002).…”

Overall, the DMS maximum concentrations in the near-shore coastal areas of the North Sea are one to two orders of magnitude higher than the seasonal maxima typical of open oceanic waters, as compiled and reviewed by Lana et al (2011).…”

“…The DMSP values we report were also higher than those reported in the deeper and seasonally stratified northern North Sea, with maximum DMSPp values of 70 nmol L − 1 reported during a bloom of coccolithophores (Archer et al, 2002). However, the maximum DMSP values we report converge with those reported by van Duyl et al (1998) in the Wadden Sea (maximum DMSPp of 1650 nmol L − 1 ). Overall, these results confirm that shallow productive near-shore coastal areas where high DMSP producing taxa such Phaeocystis occur can show DMS(P) values an order of magnitude higher than more open oceanic deeper and less productive waters, even within a given continental shelf system such as the North Sea.…”

“…Generally, particulate DMSP (DMSPp) (the intracellular DMSP) represents the main part of the total DMSP (DMSPt) measured in the field, the dissolved DMSP (DMSPd) being quickly consumed or transformed into DMS, DMSO or others degradation products. In the Wadden Sea, van Duyl et al (1998) measured concentration of DMSPp of about 1650 nmol L − 1 , and found a significant correlation between DMSPp and the abundance of Phaeocystis cells. Turner et al (1996) reported maximal values of DMSPp and DMS in the SNS of respectively 450 nmol L − 1 and 25 nmol L − 1 in May with large concentration gradients over short distances.…”

“…Seasonal variations DMSP and DMS have been previously studied in the Southern North Sea (SNS) based on field measurements and model applications (Turner et al, 1988;Kwint and Kramer, 1996;van den Berg et al, 1996;Stefels et al, 1995;van Duyl et al, 1998;Archer et al, 2002;. All of these studies reported a marked seasonal cycle in DMS(P) with a maximum in spring (April-May) corresponding to the Phaeocystis bloom followed by a decrease to low winter values.…”

The influence of abiotic and biotic variables on the concentration of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), were investigated during an annual cycle in 2016 in the Belgian Coastal Zone (BCZ, North Sea). We reported strong seasonal variations in the concentration of these compounds linked to the phytoplankton succession with high DMS(P,O) producers (mainly Phaeocystis globosa) occurring in spring and low DMS(P,O) producers (various diatoms species) occurring in early spring and autumn. Spatial gradients of DMS and DMSP were related to those of phytoplankton biomass itself related to the inputs of nutrients from the Scheldt estuary. However, the use of a relationship with Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration is not sufficient to predict DMSP. Accounting for the phytoplankton composition, two different DMSP versus Chl-a correlations could be established, one for diatoms and another one for Phaeocystis colonies. We also reported high nearshore DMSO concentrations uncoupled to Chl-a and DMSP concentrations but linked to high suspended particulate matter (SPM) presumably coming from the Scheldt estuary as indicated by the positive relationship between annual average SPM and salinity.

Seasonal variation and biogeochemical cycling of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in theYellowSea andBohaiSea

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The concentrations of dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) as well as the size distribution of particulate DMSP (DMSPp) were determined in the Yellow Sea (YS) and Bohai Sea (BS) during two cruises from 1 to 20 November 2012 and from 21 June to 11 July 2013. Besides, the biological production and consumption rates of DMS and the degradation rates of dissolved DMSP (DMSPd) were also measured. The concentrations of DMS and DMSP showed a significant seasonal variation with higher values in summer, which corresponded well with the seasonal change of Chl-a in the study area. Both DMS and DMSPp concentrations were significantly correlated with Chl-a levels, implying that phytoplankton biomass might play an important role in controlling the distributions of DMS and DMSP in the study area. The size-fractionation research showed that nanophytoplankton (5-20 lm) contributed to most of Chl-a and DMSPp in autumn and summer. The average biological production and consumption rates of DMS during summer were 13.35 and 9.80 nmol L 21 d 21 , respectively, which were much higher than those during autumn. The degradation rates of DMSPd during summer ranged from 7.10 to 21.70 nmol L 21 d 21 , with an average of 14.71 nmol L 21 d 21 , which was nearly equal to the average biological production rate (13.35 nmol L 21 d 21 ) of DMS. The average sea-to-air flux of DMS in the YS and BS were 12.06 and 20.81 lmol m 22 d 21 in autumn and in summer, respectively, which were much higher than the values reported in the ocean.

The spatial and interannual variations of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and its precursors, dissolved and particulate dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), were discussed on the basis of field observations in the surface waters of the Yellow Sea during spring 2007. Maxima of dimethylated sulfur compounds and low chlorophyll a concentrations were found in the central southern Yellow Sea, whereas low concentrations of DMS and DMSP were detected at the boundary between the northern and southern parts of the Yellow Sea. This frontal region is influenced by active water currents, air‐sea interface exchanges, and biological turnover. The horizontal variations in DMS production and consumption rates showed a decreasing tendency from the coastal to offshore areas mainly due to the complicated biological features. DMS positively correlated with dissolved CH4 and CO2 but negatively correlated with nutrients (nitrite and phosphate). Particulate DMSP concentrations and DMS production rates positively correlated with dinoflagellate abundances but negatively correlated with diatom cell densities. DMS and DMSP concentrations, as well as DMS production and consumption rates, exhibited approximately 2.0–2.8 fold increases from 2005 to 2012. This finding was likely caused by shifts in the phytoplankton communities from diatoms to dinoflagellates and the increases in abundances of zooplankton and bacteria. Average sea‐to‐air DMS fluxes were estimated to be 8.12 ± 1.24 µmol·(m−2·d−1), and DMS microbial consumption was approximately 1.68 times faster than the DMS sea‐air exchange. These findings imply that biological consumption, relative to ventilation, is a predominant mechanism in DMS removal from the surface water.
