    Abstract:

    The submarine groundwater of a series of stratified vertical wells near the coast of Beihai, Guangxi was monitored and analyzed on-site. The monitoring and sampling analysis show that the salinity in the groundwater in Confined I which is close to the seaside is relatively high, and the difference in salinity is mainly affected by seawater intrusion and high-level mariculture. The concentration of SiO3-Si in groundwater increases from inland to coastal area due to the “salt effect”, and the low content of PO4-P which may have been caused by the adsorption and removal of iron oxides. The NH4-N and NOx-N concentrations in the phreatic layer are higher than those in confined water. The infiltration of high-level aquaculture pond water results in the highest NH4-N concentration in the nearshore phreatic layer, while NOx-N is affected by denitrification. The average N / P ratio of groundwater in the studied area is 595.85, and the discharge of groundwater with a high N / P ratio into the ocean will promote the transformation of nutrient structure of plankton from N limitation to P limitation.
