波浪能和潮间带生产力(中文2900字,英文2000字)
摘要
在太平洋东北部的潮间带，最受海浪拍打的海岸获得更多来自太阳破碎波的能量。尽管冬季风暴严重的死亡率，在某些接受波浪击打的地点产生的单位面积的干物质每年数量非凡。在华盛顿塔图许岛的Postelsia palmaeformis 可生产大于10公斤的干物质，或在好年景的时候每平方米J的产量。Postelsia是一种极其富有成效的生物仅限于在这些接受波浪击打的地点。潮间生物体不能转换波能量为化学能，作为光合作用的植物转化太阳能，也不能潮间生物体线束波浪能量。尽管如此，波浪能提高潮间带生物的生产率。在暴露的岸边，波浪增加居民藻类的容量从而获得养分并且利用阳光，增强生产生物的竞争力，并通过敲击他们的敌人或阻止他们觅食进而保护潮间带的居民。

Wave energy and intertidal productivity
ABSTRACT
In the northeastern Pacific, intertidal zones of the most wave-beaten shores receive more energy from breaking waves than from the sun. Despite severe mortality from winter storms, communities at some wave-beaten sites produce an extraordinary quantity of dry matter per unit area of shore pier year. At wave-beaten sites of Tatoosh Island, WA, sea palms, Postelsia palmaeformis can produce >10 kg of dry matter, or 1.5 x 108 J, per m2 in a good year. Extraordinarily productive organisms such as Postelsia are restricted to wave- beaten sites. Intertidal organisms cannot transform wave energy into chemical energy, as photosynthetic plants transform solar energy, nor can intertidal organisms ^harness" wave energy. Nonetheless, wave energy enhances the productivity of intertidal organisms. On exposed shores, waves increase the capacity of resident algae to acquire nutrients and use sunlight, augment the competitive ability of productive organisms, and protect intertidal residents by knocking away their enemies or preventing them from feeding.
