太阳辐射对稻田甲烷排放的影响

太阳辐射减弱是气候变化的主要特征之一,而太阳辐射减弱对稻田甲烷(CH4)排放的影响尚不明确,且缺少高光谱遥感用于估算稻田CH4排放的研究.通过田间模拟试验,研究了不同遮阴强度对稻田CH4排放和水稻冠层光谱特征的影响,并基于冠层高光谱数据估算了CH4排放通量.采用单因子试验设计,遮阴强度设3个水平,即对照(不遮阴,CK)、轻度遮阴(S1,单层遮阴,遮阴率为60%)和重度遮阴(S2,双层遮阴,遮阴率为84%).结果表明:与对照相比,遮阴明显降低了稻田CH4排放,但重度遮阴下CH4排放高于轻度遮阴;近红外波段水稻冠层反射率表现为CK>S2>S1;水稻冠层光谱反射率(699~1349 nm)与CH4排放通量呈极显著正相关,最高相关系数达0.64,6种植被指数与CH4排放通量也呈极显著相关,其中比值植被指数(RVI)与CH4排放通量的相关系数最大,达0.84;建立了以RVI、归一化植被指数(NDVI)和507 nm原始反射率(ρ507)为参数估算CH4排放通量的逐步回归模型,决定系数R2分别为0.86和0.85,利用该模型可为开展区域稻田温室气体排放的遥感监测提供试验依据.

大型丝状藻类对城市河流甲烷排放的影响研究进展

温室气体排放导致的全球变暖受到广泛关注.近期研究发现,经由河流系统排放的二氧化碳（CO₂）和甲烷（CH₄）可部分抵消陆地生态系统的碳固定量,从而使人们开始重新思考河流对于全球碳平衡和温室气体排放清单的影响.作为城市河流系统中重要的初级生产者,大型丝状藻类通过改变水-沉积物界面物理、化学以及生物等环境因子,深刻影响着河流生态系统的碳循环过程.本文从3个方面阐述大型丝状藻类对于城市河流中CH₄排放的影响:城市化对河流生态系统及其CH₄排放通量的影响;大型丝状藻类对自然河流系统中CH₄产生与排放过程的影响;大型丝状藻类对城市河流系统初级生产力及CH₄产生过程的影响.最后对目前存在的问题和今后的研究方向进行了展望.     

美国俄亥俄州人工河滨湿地甲烷排放

2008年11月-2009年10月,在美国俄亥俄州哥伦布市Olentangy河河滨湿地,运用静态箱·气相色谱法对比研究了不同水文模式和植被生长状况下2种植被类型(人工植被和自然植被)淡水河滨恢复湿地甲烷(CH4)排放的时空规律,探讨了湿地土壤温度、水文条件、植被和土壤碳含量等因子对CH4排放的影响.结果表明,人工植被和自然植被湿地CH4排放通量均有明显的季节变化规律,但自然植被的淡水湿地CH4排放量仍明显高于人工植被湿地的排放量,其年排放量分别为68和114gCH4-C· m-2·a-1(P＜0.05),这是由于自然植被湿地相对于人工植被湿地有着更高的累积生产力.在2个实验湿地中,淹没深水区比干湿交替区有更高的CH4排放量,CH4排放通量的中值(平均值)分别为4.7(59.9)和0.09( 1.17)mg·m-2·h-1(P＜0.01),波动的水文相对于静止水文条件可减少CH4排放量.并且,实验湿地CH4排放通量与土壤温度和土壤有机碳含量有一定的相关性.因此,可通过对湿地进行适当的植物配置和水文条件等设计和管理措施有效地减少CH4排放.

Impact of gas transport through rice cultivars on methane emission from rice paddy fields

Two Italian rice (Oryza sativa var. japonica) cultivars, Lido and Roma, were tested in the field for methane production, oxidation and emission. In two consecutive years, fields planted with the rice cultivar Lido showed methane emissions 24–31% lower than fields planted with the cultivar Roma. This difference was observed irrespective of fertilizer treatment. In contrast to methane emissions, differences in methane production or oxidation were not observed between fields planted with the two cultivars. Plant-mediated transport of methane from the sediment to the atmosphere was the dominating pathway of methane emission. During the entire vegetation period, the contribution of this pathway to total methane emission amounted to c. 90%, whereas the contribution of gas bubble release and of diffusion through the water column to total methane emission was of minor significance. Results obtained from transport studies of tracer gas through the aerenchyma system of rice plants demonstrated that the root–shoot transition zone is the main site of resistance to plant-mediated gas exchange between the soil and the atmosphere. The cultivar Lido, showing relatively low methane emissions in the field, had a significantly lower gas transport capacity through the aerenchyma system than the cultivar Roma. Thus, the observed differences in methane emissions in the field between the cultivars Lido and Roma can be explained by different gas transport capacities. Apparently, these differences in gas transport capacities are a consequence of differences in morphology of the aerenchyma systems, especially in the root–shoot transition zone. It is, therefore, concluded that identification and use of high-yielding rice cultivars which have a low gas transport capacity represent an economically feasible, environmentally sound and promising approach to mitigating methane emissons from rice paddy fields.     

A semi-empirical model of methane emission from flooded rice paddy soils

Reliable regional or global estimates of methane emissions from flooded rice paddy soils depend on an examination of methodologies by which the current high variability in the estimates might be reduced. One potential way to do this is the development of predictive models. With an understanding of the processes of methane production, oxidation and emission, a semi-empirical model, focused on the contributions of rice plants to the processes and also the influence of environmental factors, was developed to predict methane emission from flooded rice fields. A simplified version of the model was also derived to predict methane emission in a more practical manner. In this study, it was hypothesized that methanogenic substrates are primarily derived from rice plants and added organic matter. Rates of methane production in flooded rice soils are determined by the availability of methanogenic substrates and the influence of environmental factors. Rice growth and development control the fraction of methane emitted. The amount of methane transported from the soil to the atmosphere is determined by the rates of production and the emitted fraction. Model validation against observations from single rice growing seasons in Texas, USA demonstrated that the seasonal variation of methane emission is regulated by rice growth and development. A further validation of the model against measurements from irrigated rice paddy soils in various regions of the world, including Italy, China, Indonesia, Philippines and the United States, suggests that methane emission can be predicted from rice net productivity, cultivar character, soil texture and temperature, and organic matter amendments.     

The effects of high temperature on isoprene synthesis in oak leaves

Isoprene emission from plants is highly temperature sensitive and is common in forest canopy species that experience rapid leaf temperature fluctuations. Isoprene emission declines with temperature above 35 °C but the temperature at which the decline begins varies between 35 and 44 °C. This variability is caused by the rate at which leaf temperature is increased during measurement with lower temperatures associated with longer measurement cycles. To investigate this we exposed leaves of red oak (Quercus rubra L.) to temperature regimes of 35–45 °C for periods of 20–60 min. Isoprene emission increased during the first 10 min of high temperature exposure and then decreased over the next 10 min until it reached steady state. This phenomenon was common at temperatures above 35 °C but was not noticeable at temperatures below that. The response was reversible within 30 min by lowering leaf temperature to 30 °C. Because there is no storage of isoprene inside the leaf, this behaviour indicates regulation of isoprene synthesis in the leaf. We demonstrated that the variability in isoprene decline results from regulation and explains the variability in the temperature response. This is consistent with our theory that isoprene protects leaves from damage caused by rapid temperature fluctuations.     

Estimation of the increase in CH4 emission from paddy soils by rice straw application

The relationship between the amount of CH₄ emission to the atmosphere from submerged paddy soils with rice plants and the application level (0–8 g kg^-1) of rice straw (RS) in soil was investigated in a pot experiment. Amounts of CH₄ emitted from pots with respective RS levels differed between a clayey yellow soil and a silty gray lowland soil. However, the increase in cumulative amounts of CH₄ emission with the increase in the application level of RS was similar in pattern between the two soils, and the increase (Y) was formulated with a logistic curve: x, application level of RS; k, a coefficient for relative CH₄ emission.Since the seasonal variations in coefficients a, b, and c in the logistic equation were also formulated as the function of the sum of effective temperature (E, (T–15); T, daily average temperature), the increase in cumulative amounts of CH₄ emission from any paddy soil by any level of RS application was known to be estimated by the following equation:     

Interactive effects of elevated C02 and temperature on the anatomical characteristics of leaves in eleven species

The anatomical features of leaves in 11 species of plants grown in a temperature gradient and a temperature + CO2 gradient were studied.The palisade parenchyma thickness,the spongy parenchyma thickness and the total leaf thickness were measured and analyzed to investigate the effects of elevated temperature and CO2 on the anatomical characteristics of the leaves.Our results show that with the increase of temperature,the leaf thickness of C4 species increased while the leaf thickness of C3 species showed no constant changes.With increased CO2,seven out of nine C3 species exhibited increased total leaf thickness.In C4 species,leaf thickness decreased.As for the trend on the multi-grades,the plants exhibited linear or non-linear changes.With the increase of temperature or both temperature and CO2 for the 11 species investigated,leaf thickness varied greatly in different plants (species) and even in different branches on the same plant.These results demonstrated that the effect of increasing CO2 and temperature on the anatomical features of the leaves were species-specific.Since plant structures are correlated with plant functions,the changes in leaf anatomical characteristics in elevated temperature and CO2 may lead to functional differences.     

Light and temperature dependence of the emission of cyclic and acyclic monoterpenes from holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) leaves

In a laboratory study, we investigated the monoterpene emissions from Quercus ilex, an evergreen sclerophyllous Mediterranean oak species whose emissions are light dependent. We examined the light and temperature responses of individual monoterpenes emitted from leaves under various conditions, the effect of heat stress on emissions, and the emission-onset during leaf development. Emission rate increased 10-fold during leaf growth, with slight changes in the composition. At 30 °C and saturating light, the monoterpene emission rate from mature leaves averaged 4·1 nmol m^–2 s^–1, of which α-pinene, sabinene and β-pinene accounted for 85%. The light dependence of emission was similar for all monoterpenes: it resembled the light saturation curve of CO₂ assimilation, although monoterpene emission continued in the dark. Temperature dependence differed among emitted compounds: most of them exhibited an exponential increase up to 35 °C, a maximum at 42 °C, and a slight decline at higher temperatures. However, the two acyclic isomers cis-β-ocimene and trans-β-ocimene were hardly detected below 35 °C, but their emission rates increased above this temperature as the emission rates of other compounds fell, so that total emission of monoterpenes exponentially increased from 5 to 45 °C. The ratio between ocimene isomers and other compounds increased with both absolute temperature and time of heat exposure. The light dependence of emission was insensitive to the temperature at which it was measured, and vice versa the temperature dependence was insensitive to the light regime. The results demonstrated that none of the models currently applied to simulate isoprene or monoterpene emissions correctly predicts the short-term effects of light and temperature on Q. ilex emissions. The percentage of fixed carbon lost immediately as monoterpenes ranged between 0·1 and 6·0% depending on temperature, but rose up to 20% when leaves were continuously exposed to temperatures between 40 and 45 °C.
