长白山阔叶红松林不同深度土壤CH4氧化研究

采集长白山阔叶红松林下不同深度的暗棕色森林土壤,在实验室条件下测定其对高低浓度CH4的氧化。结果表明,土壤氧化CH4的能力随深度变化明显;5～15cm土层具有最大CH4氧化活性,在400ppmv CH4浓度下此土层土壤最大氧化速率可达3．3nmolCH4·h^-1·g^-1 dw;25cm以下土层基本没有CH4氧化活性;因0～5cm土层土壤含有高浓度NH4^+抑制了CH4氧化菌的活性,所以此层土壤对CH4吸收能力下降。

温度对土壤氧化大气CH4的影响

讨论了温度对土壤氧化大气CH4的影响及其机理。当温度较低时土壤也具有一定的氧化大气CH4的能力,两者具有很高的相关关系,但是由于CH4氧化菌对大气CH4具有很强的亲和力以及大气CH4氧化所需活化能较低,因此土壤氧化大气CH4对温度的敏感度远低于产CH4,导致温度系数Q10较小。当大气CH4和O2扩散进入土壤的速率等于土壤中CH4和O2消耗的速率时,大气CH4氧化达到最大值,此时的土壤温度就是CH4氧化的最佳温度。如果温度继续升高并大于最佳温度,由于CH4氧化菌无法与利用O2能力更强的硝化细菌和其它微生物竞争利用土壤空气中有限的O2,使得土壤中CH4氧化菌的繁殖和活性降低。这一作用机理的提出较好地解释了为什么随着温度升高土壤氧化大气CH4能力呈低高低的态势。     

湖泊表层水体“甲烷悖论”现象研究进展

传统观点认为,甲烷(CH4)产生于严格的厌氧环境,在有氧环境中容易被氧化,但许多湖泊表层有氧水体出现了CH4过饱和现象,这种现象被称为"甲烷悖论"现象。为了解释湖泊"甲烷悖论"现象,本文根据湖泊表层CH4的来源,归纳出"外来假说"和"自产假说"。"外来假说"假说认为,岸边浅水区底泥或消落区土壤产生CH4向湖心表层水体横向扩散传输(FL),这种假说适应于岸边富含有机质的小型浅水湖泊。"自产假说"认为,湖心表层水体中产甲烷古生菌原位产生CH4(P),这种假说适应于山区大型深水湖泊。此外,湖泊表层有氧水体中CH4的来源还有湖泊周围河流的输入(FR)、沉淀物或次表层水体的CH4垂直向上湍流扩散(FZ)、气泡CH4溶解在表层水体中(FD)等,而湖泊表层有氧水体中CH4的损耗有"水-气"界面上气体排放(E)、CH4氧化(O)等。在厘清湖泊表层水体中CH4收支的基础上,建立CH4质量收支平衡模型,有助于客观认识湖泊表层水体中CH4的来源。实际上,湖泊表层水体中过饱和甲烷的来源与湖泊的环境特性有关,但数据分析方法、取样时段、湖泊环境条件等差异,容易造成"外来假说"和"自产假说"之争。     

温度对亚热带地区常见树种叶片甲烷排放的影响

以亚热带常见树种米槠、木荷、浙江桂、罗浮栲、杉木和柑橘为对象,利用控制试验研究了温度对树木叶片甲烷(CH4)排放的影响.结果表明:当温度在10℃时,供试的6种树木中,仅木荷、柑橘和罗浮栲的叶片排放CH4;温度高于20℃时,所有树木叶片均可排放CH4.温度高于30℃时,叶片排放CH4的平均排放速率(1.010ngCH4·g-1DM·h-1)是10～30℃时平均排放速率(0.255ngCH4·g-1DM·h-1)的3.96倍.增温对柑橘和杉木CH4排放速率的影响显著高于其他4种树木.培养时间对叶片排放CH4速率有显著影响,温度胁迫对树木排放CH4的影响受植物活性的控制.在低温或高温条件下,树木干叶均不能排放CH4.高温胁迫对树木叶片排放CH4有重要影响,全球变暖可能增加植物的CH4排放.     

下辽河平原典型农田融化期氧化亚氮和甲烷排放通量研究

应用静态箱／气相色谱法对下辽河平原典型农田（大豆地、玉米地、水稻田）土壤融化期N2O和CH4排放通量进行了研究。结果表明,在融化期间,3种农田N20排放量均较大,这段时期的农田是大气N2O的一个重要源;3种农田CH4排放不明显,成为大气CH4的汇。在融化期间,农田N2O排放量,旱田CH4排放量与箱内温度间均无显著相关性。而水稻田CH4排放量与箱内温度呈显著负相关,相对于生长季来说,这是土壤融化期间的特定现象。     

不同土壤水分含量下高寒草地CH4释放的比较研究

2003年6月30日～9月4日,利用密闭箱-气相色谱法,对发育于不同水分状况下的灌丛草甸(GC)、矮嵩草草甸(AC)、藏嵩草草甸(ZC)和季节性湿地(SD)的CH4释放速率进行了比较研究.结果表明,观测期间,季节性湿地处于淹水状态,其它三种土壤平均水分含量分别为39.6%(GC)、38.4%(AC)、65.9%(ZC),而CH4平均释放速率分别为-0.031±0.030(GC)、-0.026±0.018(AC)、1.103±0.240(ZC)和6.922±4.598 mg·m-2·h-1(SD),随着土壤水分含量的增加,高寒草地土壤CH4释放由吸收转为排放,表现出与土壤湿度很好的一致性.矮嵩草草甸不同处理CH4吸收强度AC＜AJ＜AL,它们之间的差异除与土壤水分有关,还可能与处理引起的CH4传输途径不同有关.实验期间,矮嵩草草甸和灌丛草甸土壤-植物系统分别吸收CH438.69和46.13 mg·m-2,是大气温室气体CH4的弱汇,藏嵩草草甸和季节性湿地则是大气温室气体CH4的源,分别排放CH4 1.641和10.30 g·m-2.     

小兴安岭不同沼泽甲烷排放及其影响因子

2007和2008年在植物生长季内采用静态箱-气相色谱法,研究了小兴安岭典型修氏苔草(Carex schmidtii)沼泽和油桦-修氏苔草(Betula ovalifolia-Carexschmidtii)灌木沼泽CH4通量的季节动态、年际动态及其与环境因子的关系,并估算了排放总量。结果表明,苔草和灌木沼泽2007年生长季CH4排放总量分别为66.60和3.20kg.hm-2;2008年分别为1482.60和18.15kg.hm-2。苔草和灌木沼泽CH4排放通量具有明显的季节变化,最大排放量出现在夏季或夏、秋季,其中,2007和2008年CH4排放平均通量分别为1.88和0.092mg.m-.2h-1,34.18和0.43mg.m-.2h-1,年际间和不同类型间排放差异均极显著。温度是季节变化的关键因子,2007年CH4排放通量和温度(空气温度、箱温、地表温度、5、10、15、20、30、40cm土温)间存在正、负两种相关关系,2008年CH4排放通量和温度呈正相关,水位是年际间和不同类型间排放差异的主要控制因子。     

FACE系统处理三年后淹水条件下土壤CH4和CO2排放变化

采用淹水培养实验（25（C），在实验室CO2浓度和高CO2浓度（1000μlL^-1）条件下，研究了稻麦轮作FACE系统运行3a后FACE处理和大气CO2浓度（Ambient）处理土壤CO2和CH4排放的差异。实验结果表明：经过FACE处理后，土壤有机碳含量较Ambient处理提高11%。在实验室和高CO2浓度下淹水培育60d，FACE处理土壤CO2累积排放量较Ambient处理土壤分别增加35%和22%，CH4累积排放量分别是Ambient处理土壤的2.6倍和2.3倍。高CO2浓度下培养，显著促进FACE和Ambient处理土壤的CO2排放量（p〈0.01），促进CH4排放量，但未达到统计显著水平（p〉0.05）。由此说明，大气CO2浓度升高可能直接影响土壤有机碳的转化速率和CO2及CH4的排放。     

Butachlor inhibits production and oxidation of methane in tropical rice soils under flooded condition

In laboratory incubation experiments, application of a commercial formulation of the herbicide butachlor (N-butoxymethyl-2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl acetanilide) to three tropical rice soils, widely differing in their physicochemical characteristics, under flooded condition inhibited methane (CH4) production. The inhibitory effect was concentration dependent and most remarkable in the alluvial soil. Thus, following application of butachlor at 5, 10, 50 and 100 microg g(-1) soil, respectively, cumulative CH4 production in the alluvial soil was inhibited by 15%, 31%, 91% and 98% over unamended control. Since CH4 production was less pronounced in the sandy loam and acid sulfate soil, the impact of amendment with butchalor, albeit inhibitory, was less extensive than the alluvial soil. Inhibition of CH4 production in butachlor-amended alluvial soil was related to the prevention in the drop in redox potential as well as low methanogenic bacterial population especially at high concentrations of butachlor. CH4 oxidation was also inhibited in butachlor-amended alluvial soil with the inhibitory effect being more prevalent under flooded condition. Inhibition in CH4 oxidation was related to a reduction in the population of soluble methane monooxygenase producing methanotrophs. Results demonstrate that butachlor, a commonly used herbicide in rice cultivation, even at very low concentrations can affect CH4 production and its oxidation, thereby influencing the biogeochemical cycle of CH4 in flooded rice soils.     

水稻植株对稻田甲烷排放的影响

稻田CH4排放是稻田土壤中CH4产生、氧化和传输不同过程的净效应,水稻植株强烈影响稻田CH4的产生、氧化和传输过程,是导致稻田CH4排放季节性变化规律的一个重要因素,本文综述了水稻植株对稻田CH4排放过程的不同影响,水稻植株根系分泌物和脱落物作为产甲烷前体促进稻田土壤中CH4的产生,在水稻生长后期,植株根系分泌物和脱落物被认为是稻田土壤甲烷产生的主要基质,是导致这一时期稻田CH4高排放通量的主要原因;水稻植株根系泌氧在根际环境形成一个微氧区域氧化稻田甲烷,整个水稻生长季稻田土壤中产生的CH4大约36％～90％在植株根际环境中被氧化;约80％甚至更多的稻田CH4通过水稻植株的通气组织进入大气圈,植株对稻田CH4的传输具有十分重要的意义。     

无机氮对土壤甲烷氧化作用的影响

无机氮输入(施氮肥和大气N沉降)对土壤CH4氧化作用的影响取决于甲烷氧化菌类型、输N种类和量以及土壤状况．这种作用既有抑制作用,又有刺激作用,但文献报道的抑制作用多于刺激作用,NH4^ 对CH4氧化的抑制作用多于NO3^-．随着全球N输入的增加,应在广泛的土壤类型和气候带观测和评价无机氯对土壤CH4氧化作用的影响．无机氮对土壤CH4氧化的抑制作用表现为立即或直接抑制、延迟抑制以及缺乏抑制等多种模式．尽管目前—些学者用酶基质竞争、增高的阈值、盐作用和离子交换、N转化率和N浓度等来解释抑制现象,但抑制机理依旧不完全清楚．因此,抑制机理是本领域未来研究的主要目标之一．

大气甲烷的源和汇与土壤氧化(吸收)甲烷研究进展

甲烷是主要的温室气体之一,对温室效应的贡献仅次于CO2,而每分子甲烷温室增温潜力是CO2的21倍,因此确定全球大气甲烷的源与汇,并与其进行估算,预测已成为目前全球环境变化及温室效应研究的一个热点。本文概述了国内外大气甲烷烷源与汇研究的进展情况,详述了土壤氧化（吸收）大气与内源甲烷机理及其影响因子（如土地利用情况,环境甲烷浓度,土壤温度,湿度,pH值,孔隙状况等）,最后指出,通过在长白山森林垂直分布带开展地带性土壤甲烷氧化（吸收）研究,对估算我国温带至寒带,高山苔原带土壤吸收甲烷含量,乃至全球甲烷汇具有重要意义。     

Temperature Dependence of Methane Production in Tropical Rice Soils

Although CH 4 production is sensitive to temperature, it is not clear how temperature controls CH 4 production directly versus the production of organic substrates that methanogens convert into CH 4 . Therefore, this study was done to better understand how CH 4 production in rice paddy soil responded to temperature when the process was not limited by the availability of substrates. In a laboratory-incubation study using three Indian rice soils under flooded conditions, the effect of temperature on CH 4 production was examined. CH 4 production in acid sulphate, laterite, and alluvial soil samples under flooded conditions distinctly increased with increase in temperature from 15°C to 35°C. Laterite and acid sulphate soils produced distinctly less CH 4 than alluvial soils. CO 2 production increased with increase in temperature in all the soils. The readily mineralizable carbon C and Fe 2+ contents in soils were least at 15°C and highest at 35°C, irrespective of soil type. Likewise, a significant correlation existed between microbial population (methanogens and sulphate reducers) and CH 4 production. Comparing the temperature coefficients ( Q 10 ) for methane production within each soil type at low (15°C-25°C) and medium (25°C-35°C) temperature intervals revealed that these values were not uniform for both alluvial and laterite soils. But acid sulphate soil had Q 10 values that were near 2 at both temperature intervals. When these soil samples were amended with substrates (acetate, H 2 -CO 2 , and rice straw), there were stimulatory effects on methane production rates and consequently on the Q 10 values. The pattern of temperature coefficients was characteristic of the soil type and the nature of substrates used for amendment.     

Thermophilic methane production and oxidation in compost

Methane cycling within compost heaps has not yet been investigated in detail. We show that thermophilic methane oxidation occurred after a lag phase of up to one day in 4-week old, 8-week old and mature (>10-week old) compost material. The potential rate of methane oxidation was between 2.6 and 4.1 micromol CH4(gdw)(-1)h(-1). Profiles of methane concentrations within heaps of different ages indicated that 46-98% of the methane produced was oxidised by methanotrophic bacteria. The population size of thermophilic methanotrophs was estimated at 10(9) cells (gdw)(-1), based on methane oxidation rates. A methanotroph (strain KTM-1) was isolated from the highest positive step of a serial dilution series. This strain belonged to the genus Methylocaldum, which contains thermotolerant and thermophilic methanotrophs. The closest relative organism on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence identity was M. szegediense (>99%), a species originally isolated from hot springs. The temperature optimum (45-55 degrees C) for methane oxidation within the compost material was identical to that of strain KTM-1, suggesting that this strain was well adapted to the conditions in the compost material. The temperatures measured in the upper layer (0-40 cm) of the compost heaps were also in this range, so we assume that these organisms are capable of effectively reducing the potential methane emissions from compost.     

Endogenous methanogenesis stimulates oxidation of atmospheric CH(4) in alpine tundra soil

Experiments were done to test the hypothesis that atmospheric CH(4) oxidizers in a well-drained alpine tundra soil are supported by CH(4) production from anaerobic microsites in the soil. Soil was subjected to 22 days of anaerobic conditions with elevated H(2) and CO(2) in order to stimulate methanogenesis. This treatment stimulated subsequent atmospheric CH(4) consumption, probably by increasing soil methanogenesis. After removal from anaerobic conditions, soils emitted CH(4) for up to 6 h, then oxidized atmospheric CH(4) at 111 (+/- 5.7) pmol (g dry weight)(-1) h(-1), which was more than 3 times the rate of control soils. Further supporting our hypothesis, additions of lumazine, a highly specific inhibitor of methanogenesis, prevented the stimulation of atmospheric CH(4) oxidation by the anaerobic treatment. The method used to create anaerobic conditions with elevated H(2) and CO(2) also elevated headspace CH(4) concentrations. However, elevated CH(4) concentrations under aerobic conditions did not stimulate CH(4) oxidation as much as preexposure to H(2) and CO(2) under anaerobic conditions. Anaerobic conditions created by N(2) flushing did not stimulate atmospheric CH4 oxidation, probably because N2 flushing inhibited methanogenesis by removing necessary precursors for methane production. We conclude that anaerobic conditions with elevated H(2) and CO(2) stimulate atmospheric CH(4) oxidation in this dry alpine tundra soil by increasing endogenous CH(4) production. This effect was prevented by inhibiting methanogenesis, indicating the importance of endogenous CH(4) production in a CH(4-) consuming soil.     

Vertical distribution of the methanotrophic community after drainage of rice field soil

Anoxic soils, such as flooded rice fields, are major sources of the greenhouse gas CH(4) while oxic upland soils are major sinks of atmospheric CH(4). Nevertheless, CH(4) is also consumed in rice fields where up to 90% of the produced CH(4) is oxidized in a narrow oxic zone around the rice roots and in the soil surface layer before it escapes into the atmosphere. After 1 day drainage of rice field soil, CH(4) oxidation was detected in the top 2-mm soil layers, but after 8 days drainage the zone of CH(4) oxidation extended to 8 mm depth. Simultaneously, the potential for CH(4) production decreased, but some production was still detectable after 8 days drainage throughout the soil profile. The vertical distribution of the methanotrophic community was also monitored after 1 and 8 days drainage using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis after PCR amplification with primer sets targeting two regions on the 16S rRNA gene that are relatively specific for methylotrophic alpha- and gamma-Proteobacteria, and targeting two functional genes encoding subunits of key enzymes in all methanotrophs, i.e. the genes for the particulate methane monooxygenase (pmoA) and the methanol dehydrogenase (mxaF). Drainage stimulated the methanotrophic community. Eight days after drainage, new methanotrophic populations appeared and a distinct methanotrophic community developed. The population structure of type I and II methanotrophs was differently affected by drainage. Type II methanotrophs (alpha-Proteobacteria) were present throughout the soil core directly after drainage (1 day), and the community composition remained largely unchanged with depth. Only two new type II populations appeared after 8 days of drainage. Drainage had a more pronounced impact on the type I methanotrophic community (gamma-Proteobacteria). Type I populations were not or only weakly detected 1 day after drainage. However, after 8 days of drainage, a large diversity of type I methanotrophs were detected, altough they were not evenly distributed throughout the soil core but dominated at different depths. A distinct type I community structure had developed within each soil section between 0 and 20 mm soil depth, indicating the widening of suitable habitats for methanotrophs in the rice field soil within 1 week of drainage.
