英文摘要 | Climate change is impacting lakes and ponds in Antarctica. To that end, we investigated the distribution and chemical composition of ice-covered ponds in Untersee Oasis, East Antarctica. Thirty-nine ponds were inventoried, and the thirteen sampled ponds have low total dissolved solutes (TDS) with a Ca(Na)-SO4 or Na-Cl geochemical facies. Tritium and radiocarbon measurements of the total inorganic carbon (TIC) suggest that the ponds are recharged by modern snowmelt. Hierarchical cluster analysis grouped the ponds based on the amount of potential incoming solar radiation reaching their surface. Ponds receiving higher insolation develop moats or completely lose their ice cover during summer, have lower pH, and higher TDS, delta O-18, total inorganic carbon, and delta C-13(TIC),which suggest CO2 availability is not limiting benthic photosynthetic activity. The ponds that receive lower insolation retain their full ice cover and remain well-sealed to direct exchanges with the atmosphere, have high pH, and lower TDS and TIC, and likely host a CO2-starved benthic microbial ecosystem. Therefore, the state of the ponds' ice cover evolved their hydrochemistry along different trajectories. The findings can be used to predict the trajectory of the chemical composition of the ponds and effect on biological productivity as the phenology of their ice cover shifts under a warming climate. |
