Soil carbon cycling in Japanese cedar plantations after clear-cutting over time was calculated with and without consideration
of plantation management (pruning and thinning) using a mathematical model. The model employed a daily time step and used
daily air temperature and observed precipitation near the plantations. The results of these calculations of above-ground biomass,
carbon flow and accumulation were compared with the field observations reported by Shutou and Nakane (Ecol Res 19:233–244,
2004) observed in the Hiroshima prefecture. For example, the carbon accumulation and total soil respiration rate calculated with
the inclusion of plantation management for a 60-year-old stand were 104 and 4.8 t C ha−1year−1, compared with a field observation of 110 and 4.5 t C ha−1year−1, respectively. The results calculated for carbon flow and accumulation were not significantly different from the field observations,
assessed using one-way analysis of variance (P > 0.05), and the mean relative errors were very small (e.g., the maximum was 0.05). Consequently, it is suggested that the
dynamics of carbon cycling following clear-cutting of a Japanese cedar plantation can be simulated realistically using these
calculations with and without consideration of plantation management. Moreover, it is possible that the calculation without
consideration of plantation management can yield the change of carbon cycling over time, even if the history of forest management
in the plantations is unknown. It is expected that this study will contribute to the development of a more versatile model. 相似文献

Alder is a typical species used for forest rehabilitation after disturbances because of its N2-fixing activities through microbes. To investigate forest dynamics of the carbon budget, we determined the aboveground and
soil carbon content, carbon input by litterfall to belowground, and soil CO2 efflux over 2 years in 38-year-old alder plantations in central Korea. The estimated aboveground carbon storage and increment
were 47.39 Mg C ha−1 and 2.17 Mg C ha−1 year−1. Carbon storage in the organic layer and in mineral soil in the topsoil to 30 cm depth were, respectively, 3.21 and 66.85 Mg C ha−1. Annual carbon input by leaves and total litter in the study stand were, respectively, 1.78 and 2.68 Mg C ha−1 year−1. The aboveground carbon increment at this stand was similar to the annual carbon inputs by total litterfall. The diurnal
pattern of soil CO2 efflux was significantly different in May, August, and October, typically varying approximately twofold throughout the course
of a day. In the seasonally observed pattern, soil CO2 efflux varied strongly with soil temperature; increasing trends were evident during the early growing season, with sustained
high rates from mid May through late October. Soil CO2 efflux was related exponentially to soil temperature (R
2 = 0.85, P < 0.0001), but not to soil water content. The Q
10 value for this plantation was 3.8, and annual soil respiration was estimated at 10.2 Mg C ha−1 year−1.

Soil carbon storage, litterfall and CO2 efflux in fertilized and unfertilized larch (Larix leptolepis) plantations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study evaluated the effects of forest fertilization on the forest carbon (C) dynamics in a 36-year-old larch (Larix leptolepis) plantation in Korea. Above- and below-ground C storage, litterfall, root decomposition and soil CO2 efflux rates after fertilization were measured for 2 years. Fertilizers were applied to the forest floor at rates of 112 kg
N ha−1 year−1, 75 kg P ha−1 year−1 and 37 kg K ha−1 year−1 for 2 years (May 2002, 2003). There was no significant difference in the above-ground C storage between fertilized (41.20 Mg C
ha−1) and unfertilized (42.25 Mg C ha−1) plots, and the C increment was similar between the fertilized (1.65 Mg C ha−1 year−1) and unfertilized (1.52 Mg C ha−1 year−1) plots. There was no significant difference in the soil C storage between the fertilized and unfertilized plots at each soil
depth (0–15, 15–30 and 30–50 cm). The organic C inputs due to litterfall ranged from 1.57 Mg C ha−1 year−1 for fertilized to 1.68 Mg C ha−1 year−1 for unfertilized plots. There was no significant difference in the needle litter decomposition rates between the fertilized
and unfertilized plots, while the decomposition of roots with 1–2 mm diameters increased significantly with the fertilization
relative to the unfertilized plots. The mean annual soil CO2 efflux rates for the 2 years were similar between the fertilized (0.38 g CO2 m−2 h−1) and unfertilized (0.40 g CO2 m−2 h−1) plots, which corresponded with the similar fluctuation in the organic carbon (litterfall, needle and root decomposition)
and soil environmental parameters (soil temperature and soil water content). These results indicate that little effect on
the C dynamics of the larch plantation could be attributed to the 2-year short-term fertilization trials and/or the soil fertility
in the mature coniferous plantation used in this study. 相似文献

Biometric based carbon flux measurements were conducted over 5 years (1999–2003) in a temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest
of the AsiaFlux network to estimate net ecosystem production (NEP). Biometric based NEP, as measured by the balance between
net primary production (including NPP of canopy trees and of forest floor dwarf bamboo) and heterotrophic respiration (RH),
clarified the contribution of various biological processes to the ecosystem carbon budget, and also showed where and how the
forest is storing C. The mean NPP of the trees was 5.4 ± 1.07 t C ha−1 y−1, including biomass increment (0.3 ± 0.82 t C ha−1 y−1), tree mortality (1.0 ± 0.61 t C ha−1 y−1), aboveground detritus production (2.3 ± 0.39 t C ha−1 y−1) and belowground fine root production (1.8 ± 0.31 t C ha−1 y−1). Annual biomass increment was rather small because of high tree mortality during the 5 years. Total NPP at the site was
6.5 ± 1.07 t C ha−1 y−1, including the NPP of the forest floor community (1.1 ± 0.06 t C ha−1 y−1). The soil surface CO2 efflux (RS) was averaged across the 5 years of record using open-flow chambers. The mean estimated annual RS amounted to
7.1 ± 0.44 t C ha−1, and the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) was estimated at 3.9 ± 0.24 t C ha−1. RH was estimated at 4.4 ± 0.32 t C ha−1 y−1, which included decomposition of coarse woody debris. Biometric NEP in the forest was estimated at 2.1 ± 1.15 t C ha−1 y−1, which agreed well with the eddy-covariance based net ecosystem exchange (NEE). The contribution of woody increment (Δbiomass + mortality)
of the canopy trees to NEP was rather small, and thus the SOM pool played an important role in carbon storage in the temperate
forest. These results suggested that the dense forest floor of dwarf bamboo might have a critical role in soil carbon sequestration
in temperate East Asian deciduous forests. 相似文献

Terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP) is an important metric of ecosystem functioning; however, there are little empirical data on the NPP of human‐modified ecosystems, particularly smallholder, perennial crops like cocoa (Theobroma cacao), which are extensive across the tropics. Human‐appropriated NPP (HANPP) is a measure of the proportion of a natural system's NPP that has either been reduced through land‐use change or harvested directly and, previously, has been calculated to estimate the scale of the human impact on the biosphere. Additionally, human modification can create shifts in NPP allocation and decomposition, with concomitant impacts on the carbon cycle. This study presents the results of 3 years of intensive monitoring of forest and smallholder cocoa farms across disturbance, management intensity, distance from forest and farm age gradients. We measured among the highest reported NPP values in tropical forest, 17.57 ± 2.1 and 17.7 ± 1.6 Mg C ha?1 year?1 for intact and logged forest, respectively; however, the average NPP of cocoa farms was still higher, 18.8 ± 2.5 Mg C ha?1 year?1, which we found was driven by cocoa pod production. We found a dramatic shift in litterfall residence times, where cocoa leaves decomposed more slowly than forest leaves and shade tree litterfall decomposed considerably faster, indicating significant changes in rates of nutrient cycling. The average HANPP value for all cocoa farms was 2.1 ± 1.1 Mg C ha?1 year?1; however, depending on the density of shade trees, it ranged from ?4.6 to 5.2 Mg C ha?1 year?1. Therefore, rather than being related to cocoa yield, HANPP was reduced by maintaining higher shade levels. Across our monitored farms, 18.9% of farm NPP was harvested (i.e., whole cocoa pods) and only 1.1% (i.e., cocoa beans) was removed from the system, suggesting that the scale of HANPP in smallholder cocoa agroforestry systems is relatively small. 相似文献

Biomass and aboveground net primary production (ANPP) in a monospecific pioneer stand of a mangrove Kandelia obovata (S., L.) Yong were quantified. The estimated biomasses in leaves, branches, stems, roots, aboveground and total were 5.61
(3.68%), 28.8 (18.9%), 46.1 (30.2%), 71.8 (47.2%), 80.5 (52.8%) and 152 Mg ha−1 (100%), respectively. Stem phytomass increment per tree was estimated using allometric relationships and stem analysis. Stem
volume without bark of harvested trees showed a strong allometric relationship with D
0.12
H (D

2 = 0.924). Annual stem volume increment per tree showed a strong allometric relationship with D
0.12
H (R
2 = 0.860). Litterfall rate ranges from 3.87 to 56.1 kg ha−1 day−1 for leaves and 0.177 to 46.2 kg ha−1 day−1 for branches. Seasonal changes of litterfall rate were observed, which showed a peak during wet season (August–September).
Total annual litterfall was estimated as 10.6 Mg ha−1 year−1, in which 68.2% was contributed by the leaves. The ANPP in the K. obovata stand was 29.9–32.1 Mg ha−1 year−1, which is ca. 2.8–3.0 times of annual litterfall. The growth efficiency (aboveground biomass increment/LAI) was 5.35–5.98 Mg ha−1 year−1. The low leaf longevity (9.3 months) and high growth efficiency of K. obovata makes it a highly productive mangrove species. 相似文献

Using long-term (22 years) measurements from a young and an old-growth subtropical forest in southern China, we found that
both forests accumulated carbon from 1982 to 2004, with the mean carbon accumulation rate at 227 ± 59 g C m−2 year−1 for young forest and 115 ± 89 g C m−2 year−1 for the old-growth forest. Allocation of the accumulated carbon was quite different between these two forests: the young
forest accumulated a significant amount of carbon in plant live biomass, whereas the old-growth forest accumulated a significant
amount of carbon in the soil. From 1982 to 2004, net primary productivity (NPP) increased for the young forest, and did not
change significantly for the old-growth forest. The increase in NPP of the young forest resulted from recruitment of some
dominant tree species characteristic of the subtropical mature forest in the region and an increase in tree density; decline
of NPP of the old-growth forest was caused by increased mortality of the dominant trees. 相似文献

Changes in soil carbon flux and carbon stock over a rotation of poplar plantations in northwest China 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Forest soil is a major component of terrestrial ecosystems for carbon sequestration and plays an important role in the global
carbon cycle. Soil carbon flux and soil carbon pools were investigated in a poplar plantation chronosequence over a rotation
in northwest China. Based on continuous field observation in 2007, the results showed that mean soil CO2 efflux rate was 5.54, 4.81, and 3.93 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1 for stands of 2-, 8-, and 15-year-old, respectively, during the growing season. Significant differences in soil respiration
of three age classes were mainly because soil temperature, carbon allocation, and fine root growth changed greatly with stand
age. Multiple regression analysis suggested that soil temperature and fine root biomass in the upper layer could explain 78–85%
of the variation in soil respiration. Mineral soil C stock at 0–40 cm depth was 55.77, 55.09, and 58.14 t ha−1 in the 2-, 8-, and 15-year-old stands, respectively. The average rate of soil C sequestration was 0.13 t ha−1 year−1 following afforestation on former crop lands. Although the plantations had similar management practices and soil types since
their establishment, many biotic and abiotic factors such as root biomass and turnover rate, soil condition of the plantations
had undergone marked changes at different development stages, which could result in the remarkable differences in soil carbon
flux and storage over a rotation. Our results highlight the importance of the development stage within a rotation of poplar
plantation in assessment of soil carbon budget. 相似文献

TOF including urban and other plantations like road side, homestead gardens, residential areas or in various institutional or academic landscapes make positive contribution to living conditions of different towns and cities. The present work reports the amount of biomass and its contribution to carbon stock of different woody perrennials in the campus of Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, India. The study was carried out by enumerating the entire study area for volume estimation and further calculation was done through validated methodologies. A total of 1816 numbers of individuals with dbh ≥ 10 cm of 95 woody perennials species belonging to 79 genera and 38 families were enlisted. Out of 95 species, the contribution was dominated by 52 forestry tree species followed by road side plantation (21) and fruit crops (14). A total of 812.211 Mg ha−1 of biomass was recorded from the woody tree species with 79.40% contribution from above ground biomass (AGB) and 20.60% (BGB) below ground biomass. In the AGB forestry tree species showed dominance in terms of contribution (322.95 Mg ha−1) followed by plantation crops (169.695 Mg ha−1), road side plantation (107.069 Mg ha−1) and least by fruit crops (45.190 Mg ha−1). The overall carbon stock found was 403.176 Mg Cha−1 with highest contribution from forestry tree species (200.53 Mg Cha−1) followed by plantation crops (106.720 Mg C ha−1) and least by fruit crops (28.470 Mg Cha−1). The study recommends plantaion of more and more woody species across the academic landscapes especially with threatened category flora for conservation and carbon sequestration for mitigating global climate change. TOFs will have to play an important role for sustaining future generations due to shrinking of other forest landuse systems. 相似文献

North American prairie pothole wetlands are known to be important carbon stores. As a result there is interest in using wetland
restoration and conservation programs to mitigate the effects of increasing greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere.
However, the same conditions which cause these systems to accumulate organic carbon also produce the conditions under which
methanogenesis can occur. As a result prairie pothole wetlands are potential hotspots for methane emissions. We examined change
in soil organic carbon density as well as emissions of methane and nitrous oxide in newly restored, long-term restored, and
reference wetlands across the Canadian prairies to determine the net GHG mitigation potential associated with wetland restoration.
Our results indicate that methane emissions from seasonal, semi-permanent, and permanent prairie pothole wetlands are quite
high while nitrous oxide emissions from these sites are fairly low. Increases in soil organic carbon between newly restored
and long-term restored wetlands supports the conclusion that restored wetlands sequester organic carbon. Assuming a sequestration
duration of 33 years and a return to historical SOC densities we estimate a mean annual sequestration rate for restored wetlands
of 2.7 Mg C ha−1year−1 or 9.9 Mg CO2 eq. ha−1 year−1. Even after accounting for increased CH4 emissions associated with restoration our research indicates that wetland restoration would sequester approximately 3.25 Mg
CO2 eq. ha−1year−1. This research indicates that widescale restoration of seasonal, semi-permanent, and permanent wetlands in the Canadian prairies
could help mitigate GHG emissions in the near term until a more viable long-term solution to increasing atmospheric concentrations
of GHGs can be found. 相似文献

Structure and Function of an Age Series of Poplar Plantations in Central Himalaya: I Dry Matter Dynamics 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The biomass and net primary productivity (NPP) of 5- to 8-year-oldpoplar (Populus deltoides Marsh, Clone D121) plantations growingin the Tarai belt (low-lying plains with high water table adjacentto foothills of central Himalaya) were estimated. Allometricequations for all the above-ground and below-ground componentsof trees and shrubs were developed for each stand. Understorey,forest floor biomass, and litter fall were also estimated fromstands. The biomass of plantation, forest floor litter mass,tree litter fall and net primary productivity (NPP) of treesand shrubs increased with increase in plantation age, whereasherb biomass and NPP significantly (P < 0·01) decreasedwith increasing plantation age. The total plantation biomassincreased from 84·0 in the 5-year-old to 170·0t ha-1 in the 8-year-old plantation and NPP from 16·8t ha-1 year-1 in the 5- and 6-year-old to 21·8 t ha-1year-1 in the 8-year-old plantation. The biomass accumulationratio (biomass: net production, BAR) for different tree componentsincreased with the age of plantation increase. The BAR ratioranged from 4·9 in the 5-year-old to 7·7 in the8-year-old plantation.Copyright 1995, 1999 Academic Press Populus deltoides plantations (Clone D121), biomass, dry matter turnover, net primary productivity, Tarai belt of Central Himalaya 相似文献

Mangroves have been identified as blue carbon ecosystems that are natural carbon sinks. In Bangladesh, the establishment of mangrove plantations for coastal protection has occurred since the 1960s, but the plantations may also be a sustainable pathway to enhance carbon sequestration, which can help Bangladesh meet its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, contributing to climate change mitigation. As a part of its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement 2016, Bangladesh is committed to limiting the GHG emissions through the expansion of mangrove plantations, but the level of carbon removal that could be achieved through the establishment of plantations has not yet been estimated. The mean ecosystem carbon stock of 5–42 years aged (average age: 25.5 years) mangrove plantations was 190.1 (±30.3) Mg C ha−1, with ecosystem carbon stocks varying regionally. The biomass carbon stock was 60.3 (±5.6) Mg C ha−1 and the soil carbon stock was 129.8 (±24.8) Mg C ha−1 in the top 1 m of which 43.9 Mg C ha−1 was added to the soil after plantation establishment. Plantations at age 5 to 42 years achieved 52% of the mean ecosystem carbon stock calculated for the reference site (Sundarbans natural mangroves). Since 1966, the 28,000 ha of established plantations to the east of the Sundarbans have accumulated approximately 76,607 Mg C year−1 sequestration in biomass and 37,542 Mg C year−1 sequestration in soils, totaling 114,149 Mg C year−1. Continuation of the current plantation success rate would sequester an additional 664,850 Mg C by 2030, which is 4.4% of Bangladesh's 2030 GHG reduction target from all sectors described in its NDC, however, plantations for climate change mitigation would be most effective 20 years after establishment. Higher levels of investment in mangrove plantations and higher plantation establishment success could contribute up to 2,098,093 Mg C to blue carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation in Bangladesh by 2030. 相似文献

Gross production and carbon cycling in aPhyllostachys bambusoides stand in Kyoto Prefecture, central Japan, were determined, and then a compartment model showing the carbon stock and cycling
within the ecosystem was developed. Aboveground carbon stock was 52.3 tC ha−1, increasing at a rate of 3.6 tC ha−1 year−1. Belowground carbon stock was 20.8 tC ha−1 in the root system and 92.0 tC ha−1 in the soil. Aboveground net production was 11.2 tC ha−1 year−1. Belowground net production was crudely estimated at 4.5 tC ha−1 year−1. The gross production was estimated at 41.8 tC ha−1 year−1 by summing the amount of outflow to the environment and the increment in biomass. Leaves consumed 13.7 tC ha−1 year−1 by respiration; the rest (41.8−13.7=28.1 tC ha−1 year−1) was surplus production of the leaves and flowed into the other compartments. The amounts of construction and maintenance
respiration of the aboveground compartments were 3.4 and 18.5 tC ha−1 year−1, respectively. The annual amount of soil respiration was 11.2 tC ha−1 year−1. Soil respiration levels of 4.3 and 3.1 tC ha−1 year−1 were estimated for the flow of root respiration and root detritus. The proportion of net to gross production was 37%, which
fell within the range of young and mature forests. A shorter life span of culms, compared to tree trunks, resulted in smaller
biomass accumulation ratio (biomass/net production) in the ecosystem, of 4.66. 相似文献

Biometric-based carbon flux measurements were conducted in a pine forest on lava flow of Mt. Fuji, Japan, in order to estimate carbon cycling and sequestration. The forest consists mainly of Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora) in a canopy layer and Japanese holly (Ilex pedunculosa) in a subtree layer. The lava remains exposed on the ground surface, and the soil on the lava flow is still immature with no mineral soil layer. The results showed that the net primary production (NPP) of the forest was 7.3 ± 0.7 t C ha?1 year?1, of which 1.4 ± 0.4 t C ha?1 year?1 was partitioned to biomass increment, 3.2 ± 0.5 t C ha?1 year?1 to above-ground fine litter production, 1.9 t C ha?1 year?1 to fine root production, and 0.8 ± 0.2 t C ha?1 year?1 to coarse woody debris. The total amount of annual soil surface CO2 efflux was estimated as 6.1 ± 2.9 t C ha?1 year?1, using a closed chamber method. The estimated decomposition rate of soil organic matter, which subtracted annual root respiration from soil respiration, was 4.2 ± 3.1 t C ha?1 year?1. Biometric-based net ecosystem production (NEP) in the pine forest was estimated at 2.9 ± 3.2 t C ha?1 year?1, with high uncertainty due mainly to the model estimation error of annual soil respiration and root respiration. The sequestered carbon being allocated in roughly equal amounts to living biomass (1.4 t C ha?1 year?1) and the non-living C pool (1.5 t C ha?1 year?1). Our estimate of biometric-based NEP was 25 % lower than the eddy covariance-based NEP in this pine forest, due partly to the underestimation of NPP and difficulty of estimation of soil and root respiration in the pine forest on lava flows that have large heterogeneity of soil depth. However, our results indicate that the mature pine forest acted as a significant carbon sink even when established on lava flow with low nutrient content in immature soils, and that sequestration strength, both in biomass and in soil organic matter, is large. 相似文献

Soil respiration and carbon balance in a subtropical native forest and two managed plantations 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Yu-Sheng Yang Guang-Shui Chen Jian-Fen Guo Jin-Sheng Xie Xiao-Guo Wang 《Plant Ecology》2007,192(1):71-84
From 1999 to 2003, a range of carbon fluxes was measured and integrated to establish a carbon balance for a natural evergreen
forest of Castanopsis kawakamii (NF) and adjacent monoculture evergreen plantations of C. kawakamii (CK) and Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata, CF) in Sanming Nature Reserve, Fujian, China. Biomass carbon increment of aboveground parts and coarse roots were measured
by the allometric method. Above- and belowground litter C inputs were assessed by litter traps and sequential cores, respectively.
Soil respiration (SR) was determined by the alkaline absorbance method, and the contribution from roots, above- and belowground litters was separated
by the DIRT plots. Annual SR averaged 13.742 t C ha−1 a−1 in the NF, 9.439 t C ha−1 a−1 in the CK, and 4.543 t C ha−1 a−1 in the CF. For all forests, SR generally peaked in later spring or early summer (May or June). The contribution of root respiration ranged from 47.8% in
the NF to 40.3% in the CF. On average, soil heterotrophic respiration (HR) was evenly distributed between below- (47.3∼54.5%) and aboveground litter (45.5%–52.7%). Annual C inputs (t C ha−1 a−1) from litterfall and root turnover averaged 4.452 and 4.295, 4.548 and 2.313, and 2.220 and 1.265, respectively, in the NF,
CK, and CF. As compared to HR, annual net primary production (NPP) of 11.228, 13.264, and 6.491 t C ha−1 a−1 in the NF, CK, and CF brought a positive net ecosystem production (NEP) of 4.144, 7.514, and 3.677 t C ha−1 a−1, respectively. It suggests that native forest in subtropical China currently acts as an important carbon sink just as the
timber plantation does, and converting native forest to tree plantations locally during last decades might have caused a high
landscape carbon loss to the atmosphere. 相似文献

Litterfall dynamics in carbonate and deltaic mangrove ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

From 1996 to 2002, we measured litterfall, standing litter crop, and litter turnover rates in scrub, basin, fringe and riverine
forests in two contrasting mangrove ecosystems: a carbonate-dominated system in the Southeastern Everglades and a terrigenous-dominated
system in Laguna de Terminos (LT), Mexico. We hypothesized that litter dynamics is driven by latitude, geomorphology, hydrology,
soil fertility and soil salinity stress. There were significant temporal patterns in LT with litterfall rates higher during
the rainy season (2.4 g m−2 day−1) than during the dry season (1.8 g m−2 day−1). Total annual litterfall was significantly higher in the riverine forest (12.8 Mg ha−2 year−1) than in the fringe and basin forests (9.7 and 5.2 Mg ha−2 year−1, respectively). In Southeastern Everglades, total annual litterfall was also significantly higher during the rainy season
than during the dry season. Spatially, the scrub forest had the lowest annual litterfall (2.5 Mg ha−2 year−1), while the fringe and basin had the highest (9.1 and 6.5 Mg ha−2 year−1, respectively). In LT, annual standing litter crop was 3.3 Mg ha−1 in the fringe and 2.2 Mg ha−1 in the basin. Litter turnover rates were significantly higher in the fringe mangrove forest (4.1 year−1) relative to the basin forests (2.2 year−1). At Southeastern Everglades there were significant differences in annual standing litter crop: 1.9, 3.3 and 4.5 Mg ha−1 at scrub, basin and fringe mangrove sites, respectively. Furthermore, turnover rates were similar at both basin and fringe
mangrove types (2.1 and 2.0 year−1, respectively) but significantly higher than scrub mangrove forest (1.3 year−1). These findings suggest that litter export is important in regulating litter turnover rates in frequently flooded riverine
and fringe forests, while in infrequently flooded basin forests, in situ litter decomposition controls litter turnover rates. 相似文献

The United States Great Lakes Region (USGLR) is a critical geographic area for future bioenergy production. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is widely considered a carbon (C)‐neutral or C‐negative bioenergy production system, but projected increases in air temperature and precipitation due to climate change might substantially alter soil organic C (SOC) dynamics and storage in soils. This study examined long‐term SOC changes in switchgrass grown on marginal land in the USGLR under current and projected climate, predicted using a process‐based model (Systems Approach to Land‐Use Sustainability) extensively calibrated with a wealth of plant and soil measurements at nine experimental sites. Simulations indicate that these soils are likely a net C sink under switchgrass (average gain 0.87 Mg C ha?1 year?1), although substantial variation in the rate of SOC accumulation was predicted (range: 0.2–1.3 Mg C ha?1 year?1). Principal component analysis revealed that the predicted intersite variability in SOC sequestration was related in part to differences in climatic characteristics, and to a lesser extent, to heterogeneous soils. Although climate change impacts on switchgrass plant growth were predicted to be small (4%–6% decrease on average), the increased soil respiration was predicted to partially negate SOC accumulations down to 70% below historical rates in the most extreme scenarios. Increasing N fertilizer rate and decreasing harvest intensity both had modest SOC sequestration benefits under projected climate, whereas introducing genotypes better adapted to the longer growing seasons was a much more effective strategy. Best‐performing adaptation scenarios were able to offset >60% of the climate change impacts, leading to SOC sequestration 0.7 Mg C ha?1 year?1 under projected climate. On average, this was 0.3 Mg C ha?1 year?1 more C sequestered than the no adaptation baseline. These findings provide crucial knowledge needed to guide policy and operational management for maximizing SOC sequestration of future bioenergy production on marginal lands in the USGLR. 相似文献

The response of forest productivity to climate extremes strongly depends on ambient environmental and site conditions. To better understand these relationships at a regional scale, we used nearly 800 observation years from 271 permanent long‐term forest monitoring plots across Switzerland, obtained between 1980 and 2017. We assimilated these data into the 3‐PG forest ecosystem model using Bayesian inference, reducing the bias of model predictions from 14% to 5% for forest stem carbon stocks and from 45% to 9% for stem carbon stock changes. We then estimated the productivity of forests dominated by Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica for the period of 1960–2018, and tested for productivity shifts in response to climate along elevational gradient and in extreme years. Simulated net primary productivity (NPP) decreased with elevation (2.86 ± 0.006 Mg C ha?1 year?1 km?1 for P. abies and 0.93 ± 0.010 Mg C ha?1 year?1 km?1 for F. sylvatica). During warm–dry extremes, simulated NPP for both species increased at higher and decreased at lower elevations, with reductions in NPP of more than 25% for up to 21% of the potential species distribution range in Switzerland. Reduced plant water availability had a stronger effect on NPP than temperature during warm‐dry extremes. Importantly, cold–dry extremes had negative impacts on regional forest NPP comparable to warm–dry extremes. Overall, our calibrated model suggests that the response of forest productivity to climate extremes is more complex than simple shift toward higher elevation. Such robust estimates of NPP are key for increasing our understanding of forests ecosystems carbon dynamics under climate extremes. 相似文献

Improved management of carbon storage by terrestrial biomes has significant value for mitigating climate change. The carbon
value of such management has the potential to provide additional income to rural communities and provide biodiversity and
climate adaptation co-benefits. Here, we quantify the carbon stores in a 49,300-ha landscape centered on the cloud forest–grassland
transition of the high Andes in Manu National Park, Peru. Aboveground carbon densities were measured across the landscape
by field sampling of 70 sites above and below the treeline. The forest near the treeline contained 63.4 ± 5.2 Mg C ha−1 aboveground, with an additional 13.9 ± 2.8 Mg C ha−1 estimated to be stored in the coarse roots, using a root to shoot ratio of 0.26. Puna grasslands near the treeline were found
to store 7.5 ± 0.7 Mg C ha−1 in aboveground biomass. Comparing our result to soil data gathered by Zimmermann and others (Ecosystems 13:62–74, 2010), we found the ratio of belowground:aboveground carbon decreased from 15.8 on the puna to 8.6 in the transition zone and
2.1 in the forest. No significant relationships were found between carbon densities and slope, altitude or fire disturbance
history, though grazing (for puna) was found to reduce aboveground carbon densities significantly. We scaled our study sites
to the study region with remote sensing observations from Landsat. The carbon sequestration potential of improved grazing
management and assisted upslope treeline migration was also estimated. Afforestation of puna at the treeline could generate
revenues of US $1,374 per ha over the project lifetime via commercialization of the carbon credits from gains in aboveground
carbon stocks. Uncertainties in the fate of the large soil carbon stocks under an afforestation scenario exist. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of N fertilization and the presence of N2 fixing leguminous trees on soil fluxes of greenhouse gases. For a one year period, we measured soil fluxes of nitrous oxide
(N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), related soil parameters (temperature, water-filled pore space, mineral nitrogen content, N mineralization potential) and
litterfall in two highly fertilized (250 kg N ha−1 year−1) coffee cultivation: a monoculture (CM) and a culture shaded by the N2 fixing legume species Inga densiflora (CIn). Nitrogen fertilizer addition significantly influenced N2O emissions with 84% of the annual N2O emitted during the post fertilization periods, and temporarily increased soil respiration and decreased CH4 uptakes. The higher annual N2O emissions from the shaded plantation (5.8 ± 0.3 kg N ha−1 year−1) when compared to that from the monoculture (4.3 ± 0.1 kg N ha−1 year−1) was related to the higher N input through litterfall (246 ± 16 kg N ha−1 year−1) and higher potential soil N mineralization rate (3.7 ± 0.2 mg N kg−1 d.w. d−1) in the shaded cultivation when compared to the monoculture (153 ± 6.8 kg N ha−1 year−1 and 2.2 ± 0.2 mg N kg−1 d.w. d−1). This confirms that the presence of N2 fixing shade trees can increase N2O emissions. Annual CO2 and CH4 fluxes of both systems were similar (8.4 ± 2.6 and 7.5 ± 2.3 t C-CO2 ha−1 year−1, −1.1 ± 1.5 and 3.3 ± 1.1 kg C-CH4 ha−1 year−1, respectively in the CIn and CM plantations) but, unexpectedly increased during the dry season. 相似文献
