英文摘要 | Although methanogenesis is considered a strictly anaerobic process, oxygen-replete surface open-ocean waters are usually supersaturated with methane (CH4), a phenomenon termed the oceanic methane paradox. Here, we report that abiotic methane photoproduction from chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) significantly contributes to this paradox. Methane photoproduction was observed during solar-simulated irradiations of various waters collected along the land-ocean continuum. Methane photoproduction rates decreased seaward, whereas its relative production efficiency and the methane-to-carbon-monoxide (CO) photoproduction ratio (ΔCH4/ΔCO) both followed a reversed trend. Remote-sensing modeling incorporating a ΔCH4/ΔCO–CDOM absorption relationship yielded an annual methane photoproduction of 118 Gg for the global open ocean, accounting for 20–60% of the open-ocean methane efflux and being of comparable magnitude to the upper-ocean methane microbial-oxidation sink. The photodegradation of CDOM thus plays an important role in maintaining supersaturated methane concentrations in the oxygenated upper ocean and in sustaining oceanic methane emissions to the atmosphere. ©2020.
