We hypothesized that changes in plant growth resulting from atmospheric CO2 and O3 enrichment would alter the flow of C through soil food webs and that this effect would vary with tree species. To test this idea, we traced the course of C through the soil microbial community using soils from the free-air CO2 and O3 enrichment site in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. We added either 13C-labeled cellobiose or 13C-labeled N-acetylglucosamine to soils collected beneath ecologically distinct temperate trees exposed for 3 years to factorial CO2 (ambient and 200 µl l-1 above ambient) and O3 (ambient and 20 µl l-1 above ambient) treatments. For both labeled substrates, recovery of 13C in microbial respiration increased beneath plants grown under elevated CO2 by 29% compared to ambient; elevated O3 eliminated this effect. Production of 13C-CO2 from soils beneath aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and aspen-birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.) was greater than that beneath aspen-maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.). Phospholipid fatty acid analyses (13C-PLFAs) indicated that the microbial community beneath plants exposed to elevated CO2 metabolized more 13C-cellobiose, compared to the microbial community beneath plants exposed to the ambient condition. Recovery of 13C in PLFAs was an order of magnitude greater for N-acetylglucosamine-amended soil compared to cellobiose-amended soil, indicating that substrate type influenced microbial metabolism and soil C cycling. We found that elevated CO2 increased fungal activity and microbial metabolism of cellobiose, and that microbial processes under early-successional aspen and birch species were more strongly affected by CO2 and O3 enrichment than those under late-successional maple.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate how different soil types and elevated N deposition (0.7 vs 7 g N m-2a-1) influence the effects of elevated CO2 (370 vs 570 µmol CO2 mol-1) on soil nutrients and net accumulation of N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, and Zn in spruce (Picea abies) and beech (Fagus sylvatica). Model ecosystems were established in large open-top chambers on two different forest soils: a nutrient-poor acidic loam and a nutrient-rich calcareous sand. The response of net nutrient accumulation to elevated atmospheric CO2 depended upon soil type (interaction soil 2 CO2, P<0.05 for N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Zn) and differed between spruce and beech. On the acidic loam, CO2 enrichment suppressed net accumulation of all nutrients in beech (P<0.05 for P, S, Zn), but stimulated it for spruce (P<0.05 for Fe, Zn) On the nutrient-rich calcareous sand, increased atmospheric CO2 enhanced nutrient accumulation in both species significantly. Increasing the N deposition did not influence the CO2 effects on net nutrient accumulation with either soil. Under elevated atmospheric CO2, the accumulation of N declined relative to other nutrients, as indicated by decreasing ratios of N to other nutrients in tree biomass (all ratios: P<0.001, except the N to S ratio). In both the soil and soil solution, elevated CO2 did not influence concentrations of base cations and available P. Under CO2 enrichment, concentrations of exchangeable NH4+ decreased by 22% in the acidic loam and increased by 50% in the calcareous sand (soil 2 CO2, P<0.001). NO3- concentrations decreased by 10-70% at elevated CO2 in both soils (P<0.01).  相似文献

The mechanisms for species-specific growth responses to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration within narrow ecological groups of species, such as shade-tolerant, late-successional trees, have rarely been addressed and are not well understood. In this study the underlying functional traits for interspecific variation in the biomass response to elevated CO2 were explored for seedlings of five late-successional temperate forest tree species (Fagus sylvatica, Acer pseudoplatanus, Quercus robur, Taxus baccata, Abies alba). The seedlings were grown in the natural forest understorey in very low and low light microsites (an average of 1.3% and 3.4% full sun in this experiment), and were exposed to either current ambient CO2 concentrations, 500, or 660 µl CO2 l-1 in 36 open-top chambers (OTC) over two growing seasons. Even across the narrow range of successional status and shade tolerance, the study species varied greatly in photosynthesis, light compensation point, leaf dark respiration (Rd), leaf nitrogen concentration, specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area ratio (LAR), and biomass allocation among different plant parts, and showed distinct responses to CO2 in these traits. No single species combined all characteristics traditionally considered as adaptive to low light conditions. At very low light, the CO2 stimulation of seedling biomass was related to increased LAR and decreased Rd, responses that were observed only in Fagus and Taxus. At slightly higher light levels, interspecific differences in the biomass response to elevated CO2 were reversed and correlated best with leaf photosynthesis. The data provided here contribute to a mechanistic process-based understanding of distinct response patterns in co-occurring tree species to elevated CO2 in natural deep shade. I conclude that the high variation in physiological and morphological traits among late-successional species, and the consequences for their responses to slight changes in resource availability, have previously been underestimated. The commonly used broad definitions of functional groups of species may not be sufficient for the understanding of recruitment success and dynamic changes in species composition of old-growth forests in response to rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2.  相似文献

The long-term responses of forests to atmospheric CO2 enrichment have been difficult to determine experimentally given the large scale and complex structure of their canopy. We have developed a CO2 exposure system that uses the free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) approach but was designed for tall canopy trees. The system consists of a CO2-release system installed within the crown of adult trees using a 45-m tower crane, a CO2 monitoring system and an automated regulation system. Pure CO2 gas is released from a network of small tubes woven into the forest canopy (web-FACE), and CO2 is emitted from small laser-punched holes. The set point CO2 concentration ([CO2]) of 500 µmol mol-1 is controlled by a pulse-width modulation routine that adjusts the rate of CO2 injection as a function of measured [CO2] in the canopy. CO2 consumption for the enrichment of 14 tall canopy trees was about 2 tons per day over the whole growing season. The seasonal daytime mean CO2 concentration was 520 µmol mol-1. One-minute averages of CO2 measurements conducted at canopy height in the center of the CO2-enriched zone were within ᆨ% and ᆞ% of the target concentration for 76% and 47% of the exposure time, respectively. Despite the size of the canopy and the windy site conditions, performance values correspond to about 75% of that reported for conventional forest FACE with the added advantage of a much simpler and less intrusive infrastructure. Stable carbon isotope signals captured by 80 Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) seedlings distributed within the canopy of treated and control tree districts showed a clearly delineated area, with some nearby individuals having been exposed to a gradient of [CO2], which is seen as added value. Time-integrated values of [CO2] derived from the C isotope composition of C. dactylon leaves indicated a mean (-SD) concentration of 513ᇓ µmol mol-1 in the web-FACE canopy area. In view of the size of the forest and the rough natural canopy, web-FACE is a most promising avenue towards natural forest experiments, which are greatly needed.  相似文献

Photosynthetic oxygen production by phytoplankton and community respiration in the Indian sector of the Antarctic Ocean were estimated from changes in oxygen concentrations in light and dark bottles. Gross production varied between 0.1 and 5.1 µmol O2 l-1 day-1. In the same water, community respiration (the sum of oxygen consumption by heterotrophs and phytoplankton) was 0.4-3.6 µmol O2 l-1 day-1, which accounted for 47-343% of the gross production. Algal and heterotrophic respirations were distinguished using some assumptions. These estimates showed that heterotrophic respiration accounted for most of the community respiration (70-91% depending upon the assumptions), indicating that heterotrophic respiration plays an important role in the mineralization of phytoplankton production in the surveyed sea area. Gross production rate correlated with chlorophyll a concentration, showing that the photosynthetic production rate of oxygen depends on the abundance of phytoplankton. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between gross production and community respiration rates. These regression equations suggested that negative net production occurred under the usually low concentration of chlorophyll observed in the Indian sector of the Antarctic Ocean. Hence, the net exchange of carbon dioxide due to biological processes through the sea surface seemed to be not as large as expected in the Antarctic Ocean, although the number of data were limited at this stage.  相似文献

Age-dependent bark photosynthesis of aspen twigs   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
The photosynthetic performance of trembling aspen (Populus tremula L.) twigs and leaves was studied in relation to selected structural features of aspen bark. PFD transmittance of intact periderm was reduced by about 90% in current-year twigs through peridermal thickening. However, because of drastic changes within the bark microstructure, PFD transmittance increased in 1-year-old twig segments up to 26% of the incident PFD. On a unit surface area basis, the chlorophyll content of young twigs (425 mg Chl m-2) almost reached that of leaves (460 mg Chl m-2). The chlorophyll content of aspen bark chlorenchyma was clearly age-dependent, even increasing in current-year twigs with advancing internodal age. The low bark chlorophyll a/b ratios (about 2.6 compared with 3.9 in leaves) indicate that bark chloroplasts are shade-adapted. Positive net photosynthesis was not found in aspen twigs, but apparent respiration was distinctly reduced in the light due to light-driven carbon refixation (bark photosynthesis) within the chlorenchymal tissues. Under constant microclimatic conditions, dark respiration rates were strongly correlated with stem-internal CO2 refixation. In accordance with increasing dark respiration rates, the efficiency of this carbon recycling was generally greater in the metabolically more active, younger twig segments than in older segments; carbon refixation rates reached up to 80% of dark respiration values. At least in young twigs and branches and thus in the light-exposed outer parts of tree crowns, respiratory CO2 losses by the tree skeleton could efficiently be reduced. Refixation of carbon dioxide may be of great importance for carbon budgets in the environmentally controlled or pathogen-induced leafless states of deciduous aspen trees.  相似文献

The magnitude of phytoplankton release of photosyntheticallyproduced dissolved organic carbon (PDOC), the size distributionand chemical nature of the released substances, and the quantityand composition of PDOC that were immediately assimilated byheterotrophic bacteria were investigated in a meso- to oligotrophic,mesohumic forest lake by means of the 14CO2 technique. The percentageextracellular release (PER) was comparatively high (up to {smalltilde}40%). The bulk of the released substances was of highmol. wt (>5000 dalton), with a minor contribution from lowmol. wt (<1000 dalton) compounds. Heterotrophic bacteriapreferentially assimilated the high molecular weight componentsof PDOC, and a polysaccharide of {small tilde}6000 dalton witha very short turnover time was a key substance in the carbonflow from autotrophic phytoplankton to heterotrophic bacteria.The shortcomings of the 14CO2 method to assess phytoplanktonrelease of PDOC is critically evaluated and discussed.  相似文献

华西雨屏区苦竹林土壤呼吸对模拟氮沉降的响应   总被引:15,自引:2,他引:13       下载免费PDF全文
 2007年11月至2008年11月, 对华西雨屏区苦竹(Pleioblastus amarus)人工林进行了模拟氮沉降试验, 氮沉降水平分别为对照(CK, 0 g N·m–2·a–1)、低氮(5 g N·m–2·a–1)、中氮(15 g N·m–2·a–1)和高氮(30 g N·m–2·a–1)。每月下旬, 采用红外CO2分析法测定土壤呼吸速率, 并定量地对各处理施氮(NH4NO3)。结果表明: 2008年试验地氮湿沉降量为8.241 g·m–2, 超出该地区氮沉降临界负荷。在生长季节, 苦竹林根呼吸占总土壤呼吸的60%左右。模拟氮沉降促进了苦竹林土壤呼吸速率, 使苦竹林土壤每年向大气释放的CO2增加了9.4%~28.6%。在大时间尺度上(如1 a), 土壤呼吸主要受温度的影响。2008年6~10月, 土壤呼吸速率24 h平均值均表现为: 对照<低氮<中氮<高氮。氮沉降处理1 a后, 土壤微生物呼吸速率和土壤微生物生物量碳、氮增加, 并且均与氮沉降量具有相同趋势。各处理土壤呼吸速率与10 cm土壤温度、月平均气温呈极显著指数正相关关系, 利用温度单因素模型可以解释土壤呼吸速率的大部分。模拟氮沉降使得土壤呼吸Q10值增大, 表明氮沉降可能增强了土壤呼吸的温度敏感性。在氮沉降持续增加和全球气候变暖的背景下, 氮沉降和温度的共同作用可能使得苦竹林向大气中排放的CO2增加。  相似文献
