土壤呼吸及其温度敏感性研究是准确估计陆地生态系统碳平衡对未来气候变化响应的基础.我国漫长的淤泥质海岸有着大面积的防护林,其碳汇服务功能是一个非常值得研究的科学问题,因此,对淤泥质海岸防护林生态系统土壤呼吸及其温度敏感性的研究具有重要的意义.研究采用碱液吸收法对苏北淤泥质海岸杨树Populus tomentosa Carr.及水杉Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu & Cheng两种典型海防林土壤呼吸及其温度敏感性进行了研究.结果表明:杨树和水杉林地4～11月份土壤呼吸速率变化范围分别为337～732mgCO2m-2h-1和257～821mgCO2m-2h-1,呼吸通量分别为128.57gCO2m-2和121.38gCO2m-2.杨树和水杉林地土壤呼吸速率季节变化均近似单峰曲线,最大值均出现在7月份,最小值分别出现在4月份和11月份.模型R=a×exp(b×T)能够很好地拟合林内气温及土壤温度变化对土壤呼吸的影响,温度是影响土壤呼吸的主要因子,能够解释土壤呼吸季节变化的50.5%～80.9%.土壤含水量与土壤呼吸关系不显著,不是其主要影响因子.利用林内气温及土壤2、5cm和10cm处温度得到杨树林地的Q10值分别为1.45、1.97、2.08、2.01,水杉林地的Q10值分别为1.92、3.29、2.89、3.00.研究结果表明,水杉林地土壤呼吸对全球变暖的响应比杨树林地更敏感.     

施氮对青藏高原东缘窄叶鲜卑花灌丛土壤呼吸的影响

施肥对麻栎人工林碳密度及休眠期土壤呼吸的影响

以安徽省滁州市红琊山林场麻栎人工林为研究对象,测定了4种施肥处理(0、0.15、0.30和0.45kg·株-1)林分碳密度,并采用开沟隔离法对不同处理林分休眠期土壤呼吸组分进行测定。结果表明:4种施肥处理林分总碳密度分别为73.68、84.49、87.20和91.70t·hm-2。与对照相比,各施肥处理麻栎树干碳密度、树枝碳密度和枯落物碳密度均有极显著提高(P<0.01)。不同处理林分的土壤总呼吸速率和异养呼吸速率随着施肥量增加呈递增趋势,施肥量为0.45kg·株-1样地土壤总呼吸速率和异养呼吸速率较对照样地分别增加了48.9%和38.6%。不同施肥样地土壤异养呼吸对土壤总呼吸的贡献率远大于根系呼吸,施肥量为0、0.15、0.30和0.45kg·株-1时分别是根系呼吸的5.0、3.8、3.4和3.2倍。土壤呼吸受生物因子和非生物因子共同调控,在所选取的4个指标中(土壤含水量、土壤C/N、根生物量和枯落物有机碳含量),土壤含水量和枯落物有机碳含量与土壤总呼吸及土壤异养呼吸速率均有显著相关性(P<0.05)。     

半干旱草原土壤呼吸组分区分与菌根呼吸的贡献

土壤呼吸组分的区分对于理解地下碳循环过程非常重要。而菌根真菌在地下碳循环过程中扮演着重要的角色, 但是有关菌根呼吸在草原生态系统中的研究相对较少。该研究在内蒙古半干旱草原应用深浅环网孔法, 结合浅环、深环(排除根系)和一个带有40 μm孔径窗口的土壤环(排除根系但是有菌根菌丝体)将根和菌丝物理分离, 来区分不同的呼吸组分。结果表明: 异养呼吸对总呼吸的贡献比例为51%, 根呼吸的贡献比例为26%, 菌根呼吸的贡献比例为23%, 菌根呼吸的比例3年变化范围为21%-26%。与国内外研究相比, 此方法提供了一个相对稳定的菌根呼吸测量精度范围, 在草原生态系统中切实可行。对菌根呼吸的准确定量将有助于预测草原生态系统土壤碳释放过程对未来气候变化的响应。

Plankton metabolic balance at the margins of very large lakes: temporal variability and evidence for dominance of autochthonous processes

1. Planktonic metabolic balance (PMB_m) of the surface mixed layer (SML) was measured as the ratio of areal rates of gross photosynthesis (AGP) to community respiration (AR) to test the idea that previously neglected allochthonous inputs of organic matter may support chronic excess respiration relative to photosynthesis even in very large lakes during the summer (May–October) season. Four Laurentian Great Lakes coastal sites of varying trophic status, physical structure and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration were studied with oxygen light‐and dark bottle and ¹⁴C methods, with excess respiration anticipated in the higher DOC sites. 2. Planktonic metabolic balance was net autotrophic in 73% of the observations. The calculated mixing depth at which respiration would predominate over photosynthesis was greater than typically observed mixing depths, varying from 11 to 25 m in the more transparent, low DOC (<3 g m⁻³) sites to 8–15 m in the higher DOC (4–6 g m⁻³) sites. Biweekly measurements at one higher and one lower DOC site over two successive summer seasons showed that seasonal gross photosynthesis (ΣAGP) exceeded seasonal community respiration (ΣAR). Despite the location of the sites at the periphery of the lakes, where allochthonous influences should be strongest, the measurements indicated prevailing conditions of net autotrophy in the SML. 3. Individual measurements of AR from this study and the literature were correlated with AGP but season average values were more tightly correlated, suggesting a tighter coupling of metabolic rates on a larger scale and a looser coupling on a shorter scale. The observed temporal variability was variable in pattern among years, and likely to confound inferences based on limited sampling. 4. It is shown that accepted formulations for AGP and AR lead to the conclusion that PMB_m should be largely predictable from knowledge of a biological properties ratio (light‐saturated gross photosynthesis to plankton community respiration, P_max/R) and a physical properties ratio (euphotic to mixing depths, Z_eu/Z_m) and this prediction was confirmed using data from this study and from the literature. The evident success of this model points to the pre‐eminent importance of plankton biomass and physical conditions in determining metabolic balance. Variation in these fundamental factors appears capable of explaining the diversity of PMB_m reported for different Great Lakes.     

Response of carbon fluxes to drought in a coastal plain loblolly pine forest

Full accounting of ecosystem carbon (C) pools and fluxes in coastal plain ecosystems remains less studied compared with upland systems, even though the C stocks in these systems may be up to an order of magnitude higher, making them a potentially important component in regional C cycle. Here, we report C pools and CO₂ exchange rates during three hydrologically contrasting years (i.e. 2005–2007) in a coastal plain loblolly pine plantation in North Carolina, USA. The daily temperatures were similar among the study years and to the long‐term (1971–2000) average, whereas the amount and timing of precipitation differed significantly. Precipitation was the largest in 2005 (147 mm above normal), intermediate in 2006 (48 mm below) and lowest in 2007 (486 mm below normal). The forest was a strong C sink during all years, sequestering 361 ± 67 (2005), 835 ± 55 (2006) and 724 ± 55 (2007) g C m^?2 yr^?1 according to eddy covariance measurements of net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE). The interannual differences in NEE were traced to drought‐induced declines in canopy and whole tree hydraulic conductances, which declined with growing precipitation deficit and decreasing soil volumetric water content (VWC). In contrast, the interannual differences were small in gross ecosystem productivity (GEP) and ecosystem respiration (ER), both seemingly insensitive to drought. However, the drought sensitivity of GEP was masked by higher leaf area index and higher photosynthetically active radiation during the dry year. Normalizing GEP by these factors enhanced interannual differences, but there were no signs of suppressed GEP at low VWC during any given year. Although ER was very consistent across the 3 years, and not suppressed by low VWC, the total respiratory cost as a fraction of net primary production increased with annual precipitation and the contribution of heterotrophic respiration (R_h) was significantly higher during the wettest year, exceeding new litter inputs by 58%. Although the difference was smaller during the other 2 years (R_h : litterfall ratio was 1.05 in 2006 and 1.10 in 2007), the soils lost about 109 g C m^?2 yr^?1, outlining their potential vulnerability to decomposition, and pointing to potential management considerations to protect existing soil C stocks.     

A sketchy outline of the fate of organic matter in the Dutch Wadden Sea

Conclusion In ecosystems like the Dutch Wadden Sea a carbon budget can be made roughly However, there are in space as well as in time a lot of gaps in the observations. Especially from subtidal sediments of inlets and gullies are no observations available. Also the quantification of the different functional groups of the anaerobically respiring organisms (manganese reducers, denitrifiers, iron reducers, methane formers) in the decomposition is absent. And what is the role and quantitative importance of fermenting organisms? Finally, the quantification of the use of the reduced end products of anaerobic respiring organisms is unknown.     

Factors Controlling the Year-Round Variability in Carbon Flux Through Bacteria in a Coastal Marine System

Data from several years of monthly samplings are combined with a 1-year detailed study of carbon flux through bacteria at a NW Mediterranean coastal site to delineate the bacterial role in carbon use and to assess whether environmental factors or bacterial assemblage composition affected the in situ rates of bacterial carbon processing. Leucine (Leu) uptake rates [as an estimate of bacterial heterotrophic production (BHP)] showed high interannual variability but, on average, lower values were found in winter (around 50 pM Leu⁻¹ h⁻¹) as compared to summer (around 150 pM Leu⁻¹ h⁻¹). Leu-to-carbon conversion factors ranged from 0.9 to 3.6 kgC mol Leu⁻¹, with generally higher values in winter. Leu uptake was only weakly correlated to temperature, and over a full-year cycle (in 2003), Leu uptake peaked concomitantly with winter chlorophyll a (Chl a) maxima, and in periods of high ectoenzyme activities in spring and summer. This suggests that both low molecular weight dissolved organic matter (DOM) released by phytoplankton, and high molecular weight DOM in periods of low Chl a, can enhance BHP. Bacterial respiration (BR, range 7–48 μg C l⁻¹ d⁻¹) was not correlated to BHP or temperature, but was significantly correlated to DOC concentration. Total bacterial carbon demand (BHP plus BR) was only met by dissolved organic carbon produced by phytoplankton during the winter period. We measured bacterial growth efficiencies by the short-term and the long-term methods and they ranged from 3 to 42%, increasing during the phytoplankton blooms in winter (during the Chl a peaks), and in spring. Changes in bacterioplankton assemblage structure (as depicted by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fingerprinting) were not coupled to changes in ecosystem functioning, at least in bacterial carbon use.     

降雨量改变对黄河三角洲滨海湿地土壤呼吸的影响

全球变化背景下,降雨模式变化造成土壤水分波动是引起土壤呼吸动态变化的重要驱动力。但滨海湿地如何响应降雨模式变化,进而引起生态系统蓝碳功能改变的机制尚不清楚。依托黄河三角洲滨海湿地增减雨野外控制试验平台,采用土壤碳通量观测系统(LI—8100)对湿地土壤呼吸速率进行监测,探究了2017年黄河三角洲滨海湿地土壤呼吸及环境、生物因子对减雨60%、减雨40%、对照60%、对照40%、增雨40%、增雨60%等变化的响应及机制。结果表明:1)随着降雨量增加,湿地土壤温度逐渐降低;同时增雨和减雨处理均显著提高了湿地土壤湿度(P0.05)。(2)降雨量变化显著影响湿地植被物种组成、地上和地下生物量分配以及植被根冠比(P0.05)。增雨40%和增雨60%均显著提高了湿地植物种类和植被根冠比,但同时显著降低了湿地植被地上生物量。此外,增雨40%和减雨60%处理均显著提高了湿地植被地下生物量。(3)降雨量变化对2017年湿地季节土壤呼吸无显著影响,但在湿地非淹水期,增雨60%和增雨40%均显著提高了湿地土壤呼吸速率(P0.05)。(4)2017年湿地不同降雨处理的土壤呼吸与土壤湿度均呈二次曲线关系(P0.05),相关系数随降雨量增加而降低;同时在非淹水期不同降雨处理的土壤呼吸与土壤温度均指数相关(P0.05),土壤呼吸温度敏感性(Q_(10))随降雨量增加而增大。在淹水期不同降雨处理土壤呼吸与土壤温度无显著相关关系。(5)淹水期土壤呼吸速率与地表水位呈指数负相关(P0.001)。     

环境因子和生物因子对黄河三角洲滨海湿地土壤呼吸的影响

采用Li-8150多通道土壤呼吸自动测量系统对黄河三角洲滨海湿地土壤呼吸进行全年连续测定,同步测量了温度、土壤含水量、地上生物量以及叶面积指数等环境因子和生物因子.结果表明: 土壤呼吸日动态在全年尺度上多呈单峰型,但在受到土壤封冻和地表积水干扰时,土壤呼吸日动态呈多峰型.土壤呼吸具有明显的季节动态特征,总体呈单峰型,年平均土壤呼吸速率为0.85 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1,生长季平均土壤呼吸速率为1.22 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1.在全年尺度上,土壤温度是滨海湿地土壤呼吸的主要控制因子,可解释全年土壤呼吸87.5%的变化.在生长季尺度上,土壤含水量和叶面积指数对土壤呼吸的协同影响达到85%.

Ocean warming enhances respiration and carbon demand of coastal microbial plankton

The increase of anthropogenic CO₂ during this century is expected to cause warming of large regions of the ocean. Microbes lead the biological role in the CO₂ balance of marine ecosystems, their activity is known to be influenced by temperature, and it is important to constrain and quantify these effects on bacterial carbon use. Furthermore, if warming were to enhance the carbon demand (production + respiration) of planktonic microbes but would maintain their efficiency low (as it generally is), then most carbon consumed would end up respired. We designed a strategy in which we measured bacterial production and respiration throughout a seasonal cycle in a coastal Mediterranean site, and determined experimentally the effects of ca. 2.5 °C on these processes. We show that warming will increase nearly 20% the total carbon demand of coastal microbial plankton without any effect on their (commonly low) growth efficiency, which could generate a positive feedback between coastal warming and CO₂ production.
