Relationships between Macrobenthos and Environmental Variables in Tianjin Offshore Water

Abstract:

With rapid economic and social development in Tianjin coastal area, environmental impact factors are increasingly complex. In order to study the relationships between macrobenthos and environmental variables, macrobenthos and seven environmental variables (including dissolved oxygen, active phosphate, inorganic nitrogen, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and oil) are investigated in the summer of 2004 and 2007. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) and Redundancy Analysis (RDA) in CANOCO software are all employed in the analysis for mutual authentication of the result. The results indicate that: (1) reactive phosphate and nitrite are the most important impact factor for the macrobenthic community; (2) nitrate is the supplementary factor that explains the macrobenthos data; (3) whether inorganic nitrogen is a key impact factor, it needs further research.
