黄土高原刺槐人工林地表凋落物对土壤呼吸的贡献

于黄土高原沟壑区王东沟小流域26年刺槐人工林(Robinia pseudoacacia)中,设置对照(CK)、去除凋落物(no litter, NL)和倍增凋落物(double litter, DL)3个处理,利用Li-8100系统测定各处理的土壤呼吸速率。结果表明,添加或去除凋落物显著影响土壤呼吸(P = 0.091-0.099),与对照(CK)的土壤呼吸速率(3.23 μmol m^-2 s^-1)相比,添加凋落物(DL)使土壤呼吸速率增加26%,去除凋落物(NL)使土壤呼吸速率减少22%。NL、CK和DL的累积土壤呼吸分别为631、787和973 g C m^-2a^-1。各处理土壤呼吸速率与土壤温度呈显著的指数关系(R²=0.81-0.90,P < 0.0001),但与土壤水分的关系不明显。NL、CK和DL的Q₁₀依次为1.92、2.29和2.31。地表凋落物对土壤呼吸年平均贡献量为20%。相关性分析表明,各测定日地表凋落物贡献与土壤温度(r=0.54,P < 0.05)或土壤水分关系显著(r=0.68, P < 0.05)。刺槐人工林地表凋落物的输入量为213 g C m^-2a^-1,大于凋落物引起的呼吸量156 g C m^-2a^-1。在黄土区通过植被恢复治理水土流失过程中,随着地表凋落物的积累,林地生态系统的碳汇功能将逐步得到加强。     

西南高山地区土壤异养呼吸时空动态

土壤异养呼吸是陆地和大气之间的重要通量,是决定陆地生态系统碳源汇的关键因素之一,与气候变化紧密相关。西南高山地区是响应气候变化的重点区域,研究西南高山地区土壤异养呼吸动态及其对气候变化的响应,对于评估区域碳循环对全球气候变化的贡献具有重要意义。应用生态系统模型(CEVSA)模型估算了1954-2010年西南高山地区土壤异养呼吸(HR)的时空变化,分析了其对气候变化的响应。结果表明:(1)西南高山地区1954-2010年平均异养呼吸量为422 g C·m^-2·a^-1,在空间分布上,HR自东南向西北递减,与年平均温度(r=0.721,P<0.01)、年降水量(r=0.564,P<0.01)均显著正相关;(2)在时间尺度上,西南高山地区1954-2010年 HR总量增加趋势显著(P<0.05),变化范围为197-251 Tg C/a,平均每年增加0.710 Tg C,其中主要植被类型草地、常绿针叶林和常绿阔叶林均增加趋势显著(P<0.01),增加速度分别为1.621、1.496和1.055 g C·m^-2·a^-2。(3)土壤HR的年际变化主要受温度影响,且西北部高海拔地区较东南部低海拔对温度变化更为敏感,主要植被类型温度敏感系数Q₁₀从大到小依次为草地(2.35)、常绿针叶林(2.34)、常绿阔叶林(1.93)。     

短期寒潮天气对福州市绿地土壤呼吸及组分的影响

城市生态系统土壤呼吸在区域乃至国家尺度上的碳预算与碳循环中都具有重要地位,研究突发天气下城市生态系统土壤呼吸及其组分的变化对准确估算城市土壤碳排放具有重要意义。以亚热带城市草坪(沟叶结缕草,Zoysia matrell)和片林(南洋杉,Araucaria heterophylla)为研究对象,于2011年2月10日至19日通过监测一次突发短期降温天气前后土壤呼吸及其组分(微生物呼吸和根系呼吸)的动态变化,探讨了短期低温天气对城市生态系统土壤呼吸的影响。结果表明:在突发寒潮天气发生后,片林和草坪的土壤温度均显著降低,降温幅度最大分别达7.4℃和5.5℃,二者的土壤呼吸均因降温而骤降,降低比例分别高达79.4%和71.2%。但土壤呼吸及组分也随期间的降水事件而呈现出明显波动。整个观测期间片林土壤呼吸、微生物呼吸与根系呼吸的日均值分别2.54 μmol · m^-2 · s^-1、0.76 μmol · m^-2 · s^-1和1.78 μmol · m^-2 · s^-1,而在草坪中三者分别为1.07 μmol · m^-2 ·s^-1、0.83 μmol · m^-2 · s^-1和0.24 μmol · m^-2 · s^-1。土壤温度是控制降温过程中城市绿地土壤呼吸及其组分的关键限制因子并与之呈指数正相关关系,但由于冠层结构简单、耐寒性较低,草坪对温度变化的响应更加敏感。在短期降温中草坪土壤呼吸、微生物呼吸与根系呼吸的Q₁₀值明显提高,分别高达4.18、8.17和18.17。受降水与降温的共同影响,草坪与片林各土壤呼吸类型同时受土壤温度、土壤含水量与降水量的控制,由这3个因子构成的多元回归模型可以较好地拟合各呼吸类型的日均值变化(R²>0.55)。     

Effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilization on soil respiration during growing season in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum)

 在目前全球氮沉降不断增加的背景下, 研究农田土壤呼吸对氮沉降的响应有助于理解未来生态系统碳循环对全球变暖的潜在影响。为探讨不同施氮浓度对华东地区冬小麦(Triticum aestivum)生长期土壤呼吸的影响, 该实验设计了对照组(不施加氮肥)和3种浓度施氮处理组(低浓度施氮15 g·m^–2·a^–1, 中等浓度施氮30 g·m^–2·a^–1, 高浓度施氮45 g·m^–2·a^–1)。使用便携式土壤CO₂通量观测仪LI-8100测定不同施氮浓度处理下冬小麦生长期(2013年12月至2014年5月)的土壤呼吸速率, 并探讨土壤呼吸与土壤温度、湿度等环境因素的关系。结果表明: 低、中、高3种浓度施氮处理的土壤呼吸速率平均值分别为5.29、6.17和6.75 μmol·m^–2 ·s^–1, 与对照组(土壤呼吸速率平均值为4.90 μmol·m^–2·s^–1)相比, 分别增加了7.8%、23.6%和37.8%; 地上生物量分别增加39.9%、104.4%和200.2%, 并与冬小麦生长季的总土壤呼吸正相关。5 cm深度土壤的温度与土壤呼吸速率呈指数关系(p < 0.05), 土壤呼吸季节变化的65%–75%由土壤温度引起, 其温度敏感性为2.09–2.32。结果表明, 添加氮肥促进了植物的生长, 增加了生物量, 从而增加了冬小麦农田的土壤呼吸速率。     

氮添加和凋落物去除对黔中喀斯特地区柳杉人工林土壤呼吸的影响

凋落物是土壤呼吸的主要碳源,日益增加的大气氮沉降通过改变森林凋落物的输入与分解影响土壤呼吸。为揭示氮沉降及凋落物管理对森林土壤呼吸及其组分的影响,以贵州省国有扎佐林场15年生柳杉人工林为研究对象,设置4个氮添加处理:对照(CK,0 gN m^-2 a^-1)、低氮(LN,15 gN m^-2 a^-1)、中氮(MN,30 gN m^-2 a^-1)和高氮(HN,60 gN m^-2 a^-1),并在每种氮添加处理下设置去除凋落物和保留凋落物两种处理,于2021年3月-2022年2月利用LI-8100测定土壤呼吸速率,并分析氮添加及凋落物处理对土壤呼吸速率影响,确定影响土壤呼吸速率变化的主要因子。结果表明:氮添加和去除凋落物处理没有改变土壤呼吸速率的时间变化,土壤呼吸速率月均最大值出现在7月,月均最小值出现在2月。氮添加对土壤呼吸速率无显著影响(P > 0.05),除CK外,去除凋落物处理会显著降低土壤呼吸速率(P < 0.05)。凋落物对土壤总呼吸速率的贡献率为8.6%-28.5%,且LN处理下凋落物对土壤呼吸速率的贡献率最大。土壤呼吸速率与5 m土壤温度呈显著指数相关(P < 0.01),与5 cm土壤湿度呈显著负线性相关(P < 0.01)。土壤温度解释了土壤呼吸速率变异的58.5%-79.5%,土壤湿度解释了土壤呼吸速率变异的26.4%-39.5%,以土壤温度和湿度构建的双变量模型拟合效果均好于单因子模型,土壤温湿度共同解释土壤呼吸速率变异的59.1%-85.8%。结论表明在大气氮沉降增加的背景下,温度是影响土壤呼吸的主要因素,凋落物管理是调控土壤呼吸的关键过程。     

模拟氮沉降对石栎和苦槠幼苗土壤呼吸的影响

用LI-8100开路式土壤碳通量测量系统测定模拟氮沉降4种不同处理水平(0、60、120\,240 kg · hm^-2 · a^-1)下石栎(Lithocarpus glabra)和苦槠(Castanopsis sclerophylla)幼苗的土壤呼吸速率及土壤温度、含水量对其土壤呼吸的影响。结果表明,氮沉降对土壤呼吸的影响根据施氮水平和幼苗的种类不同而异。低氮(60 kg · hm^-2 · a^-1)处理下石栎和苦槠的土壤呼吸速率平均值分别为(4.014±0.812)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1和(5.170±0.689)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1,比对照组(0 kg · hm^-2 · a^-1)土壤呼吸速率平均值(3.802±0.948)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1和(3.557±0.906)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1分别高5%和45%;两树种在中、高氮处理下均出现对土壤呼吸明显的抑制。其中石栎中、高氮实验组的土壤呼吸速率分别为(2.653±0.681)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1、(2.592±0.736)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1, 比对照组低27%和29%。苦槠中、高氮实验组的土壤呼吸速率为(3.563±0.402)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1、(3.466±0.994)μmol · m^-2 · s^-1, 比对照组低7%和8%;石栎在高氮(240 kg · hm^-2 · a^-1)处理水平下,其土壤呼吸速率同10cm土壤温度之间呈现显著的指数关系(R²=0.811,P=0.001),而在低、中氮实验均未发现有明显指数关系。苦槠各处理水平下其土壤呼吸与土壤温度之间均未发现有明显的指数关系;在土壤呼吸与5cm土壤含水量的相关性方面,仅有苦槠高氮实验组表现出明显的二次方程关系(R²=0.722),而其低、中氮实验组及石栎各实验组均未有明显的相关性;与单因素(温度、含水量)拟合它们与土壤呼吸速率的方程相比,多元回归分析得到的土壤呼吸速率同土壤温度和含水量之间的拟合方程在P=0.05水平上能更好地解释土壤呼吸的变化情况。石栎和苦槠在氮沉降处理下的土壤呼吸温度系数Q₁₀值分别为2.29、1.95、1.59和1.46、1.41、1.76,同对照组2.64和1.78相比,均有明显降低,且两者Q₁₀值的变化分别呈递减和先减小后增大的趋势,表明氮沉降是影响石栎和苦槠土壤CO₂通量的一个重要因素。     

模拟氮沉降对两种竹林不同凋落物组分分解过程养分释放的影响

利用原位分解袋法研究了华西雨屏区苦竹(Pleioblastus amarus)和撑绿杂交竹(Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocala mopsi)人工林几种凋落物组分在模拟氮沉降下分解过程中养分释放状态,试验周期为2 a。氮沉降水平分别为对照(CK, 0 g · m^-2 · a^-1)、低氮(5 g · m^-2 · a^-1)、中氮(15 g · m^-2 · a^-1)和高氮(30 g · m^-2 · a^-1),每月下旬定量地对各处理施氮(NH₄NO₃)。结果表明,苦竹林和杂交竹林凋落物主要由凋落叶、凋落箨和凋落枝组成,其中凋落叶约占80%;两个竹种凋落物在分解过程中养分元素释放的种间差异主要与初始养分元素含量有关;凋落物养分元素初始含量对元素释放模式和最终净释放率的大小具有重要的决定作用;目前,这两种竹林生态系统土壤氮输入主要以大气氮沉降(8.24 g · m^-2 · a^-1)为主,同时凋落物氮输入(苦竹和杂交竹林分别为1.93,5.07 g · m^-2 · a^-1)也是一个重要途径;模拟氮沉降对苦竹凋落物碳、磷、钾、钙元素和杂交竹凋落物碳、氮、磷、钾、钙、镁元素释放的抑制作用较弱,处理与对照之间元素总释放率差异一般小于10%;氮沉降显著抑制了苦竹林凋落物氮元素释放,减小幅度为19.0%-27.2%,但由于氮沉降增加对土壤肥力的直接改良作用,氮沉降的增加并不会因为凋落物分解速率的降低造成植物生长所需养分供应的减少;从短期来看,在氮沉降继续增加的情况下,该地区这类竹林生态系统的碳吸存能力仍可能会因为N沉降对植物生长的促进作用而增加。     

模拟氮沉降对华西雨屏区撑绿 杂交竹凋落物分解的影响

从2008年1月至2010年1月,对华西雨屏区撑绿杂交竹(Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocala mopsi)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 · m^-2 · a^-1)、低氮(5 g · m^-2 · a^-1)、中氮(15 g · hm^-2 · a^-1)和高氮(30 g · m^-2 · a^-1)。利用凋落袋法对杂交竹凋落叶和凋落箨进行原位分解试验,并在每月下旬定量地对各处理施氮(NH₄NO₃)。结果表明,自然状态下杂交竹凋落叶和凋落箨分解95%所需时间分别为2.9,1.5 a;氮沉降显著抑制了凋落叶的分解,在分解后期3个氮沉降处理凋落叶无灰分质量残留率均显著大于对照,氮沉降对凋落箨分解无明显影响;氮沉降显著抑制了凋落叶中木质素和纤维素的分解。杂交竹凋落叶在分解后期质量损失缓慢,处于较稳定状态,氮沉降的增加使得凋落物的残留率稳定在一个更高的水平,表明氮沉降的增加可能会使更多的凋落物残体和稳定有机质留存于杂交竹林土壤中,从而增加杂交竹林土壤碳贮存。     

11种温带树种粗木质残体分解初期结构性成分和呼吸速率的变化

采用长期定位跟踪实测方法,比较分析我国东北温带森林11个主要树种粗木质残体(CWD)分解初期3a中结构性成分的差异、变化以及与其呼吸速率(R_CWD)的关系。测定树种包括:软阔叶树种(白桦、山杨、紫椴)、硬阔叶树种(胡桃楸、蒙古栎、色木槭、春榆、黄檗、水曲柳)和针叶树种(兴安落叶松、红松)。结果表明:11个树种CWD木质素含量(L_c,%)和综纤维素含量(H_c,%)差异显著(P<0.001),其中软阔叶树种的L_c最低。木质素含量与N含量的比值(L_c/N)依次为:针叶树种 >硬阔叶树种 >软阔叶树种。经过3a的分解,大部分树种(除了紫椴和春榆)的L_c略有增加,但变化不显著(P>0.05);而其木质素密度(L_d, g/cm³)和综纤维素密度(H_d, g/cm³)都有不同程度的减小(P<0.05),软阔叶树种损失最多,针叶树种损失最少。所有树种L_c/N值均增大。将R_CWD标准化成温度为15 ℃时(R₁₅)比较发现,在CWD形成初期(2005年)不同树种的R₁₅有所差异;阔叶树种的R₁₅及其温度系数(Q₁₀)均高于针叶树种。经过3a的分解,除兴安落叶松、色木槭和水曲柳外,其它树种的R₁₅出现了不同程度减小。总体看来,软阔叶树种R₁₅减少了32.0%,而针叶树种R₁₅则增加了23.1%。另外,针叶树种的Q₁₀增大,而阔叶树种的Q₁₀则基本保持不变。R₁₅与H_c呈正相关,与L_c和L_c/N呈负相关。CWD分解初期3a R₁₅的变化率与H_c的变化率之间呈正相关关系,表明结构性成分的变化是导致CWD分解初期R_CWD变化的主要因素之一。     

吊丝单竹林生态系统碳储量及其垂直空间分配特征

利用标准样方法研究了吊丝单竹(Dendrocalamopsis vario-striata)林的碳储量及其空间分布特征。结果表明,吊丝单竹不同器官的碳密度为0.4684~0.5092 g g^-1,依次为竹秆>竹蔸>竹根>竹枝>竹叶;碳储量在吊丝单竹不同器官中的分配以竹秆最大(达50.46%),其次为竹蔸(20.71%),竹叶的最小(仅5.01%)。整个吊丝单竹林生态系统碳库主要由乔木层、灌草层、枯落物层和土壤层4部分组成,总碳贮量为104.9321 t hm^-2,其空间分布为土壤层>乔木层>枯落物层>灌草层,其中土壤层占总碳储量的比例最大(59.74%);整个吊丝单竹林乔木层年固碳量为6.4460 t hm^-2a^-1,相当于每年同化CO₂的量为23.6353 t hm^-2a^-1,这略低于我国森林植被的平均年固碳量,表明吊丝单竹林还有较大的发展空间。     

Controlling Factors of Soil CO2 Efflux in Pinus yunnanensis across Different Stand Ages

The characteristics of soil respiration (Rs) across different stand ages have not been well investigated. In this study, we identified temporal variation of Rs and its driving factors under three nature forest stands (e.g. 15-yr-old, 30-yr-old, and 45-yr-old) of Pinus yunnanensis in the Plateau of Mid-Yunnan, China. No consistent tendency was found on the change of Rs with the stand ages. Rs was ranked in the order of 30-yr-old > 45-yr-old >15-yr-old. Rs in 15-yr-old stand was the most sensitive to soil temperature (Ts) among the three sites. However, Ts only explained 30-40% of the seasonal dynamics of Rs at the site. Soil water content (Sw) was the major controlling factor of temporal variation at the three sites. Sw explained 88-93% of seasonal variations of Rs in the 30-yr-old stand, and 63.7-72.7% in the 15-yr-old and 79.1-79.6% in the 45-yr-old stands. In addition, we found that pH, available nitrogen (AN), C/N and total phosphorus (TP) contributed significantly to the seasonal variation of Rs. Sw was significantly related with pH, total nitrogen (TN), AN and TP, suggesting that Sw can affect Rs through improving soil acid-base property and soil texture, and increasing availability of soil nutrient. The results indicated that besides soil water, soil properties (e. g. pH, AN, C/N and TP) were also the important in controlling the temporal variations of Rs across different stand ages in the nature forestry.     

Below-canopy CO2 flux and its environmental response characteristics in a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in Dinghushan, China

Accurate estimation of below-canopy CO₂ flux (Fcb) in typical forest ecosystems is of great importance to validate terrestrial carbon balance models. Continuous eddy covariance measurements of Fcb were conducted in a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest located in Dinghushan Nature Reserve of South China. Using year-round data, Fcb dynamics and its environmental response were analyzed, and the results mainly showed that: (1) Fcb decreased during daytime which indicated that the understory of the forest continued photosynthesis throughout the year; however, understory and soil acted as CO₂ source as a whole. (2) Using soil temperature (Ts) as a dependent variable, all of Van’t Hoff equation, Arrhenius equation and Lloyd-Taylor equation can explain a considerable variation of Fcb. Among those three equations Lloyd-Taylor equation is the best to reflect the relationship between soil respiration and temperature for its ability in revealing the variation of Q₁₀ with temperature. (3) Fcb derived from Lloyd-Taylor equation is utterly determined by Ts, while Fcb derived from the multiplicative model is driven by Ts and soil moisture (Ms). The multiplicative model can reflect the synthetic effect of Ts and Ms; therefore it explains more Fcb variations than Lloyd-Taylor equation does. (4)Fcb derived from the multiplicative model was higher than that from Lloyd-Taylor equation when Ms was relatively high; on the contrary, Fcb derived from the multiplicative model was lower than that from Lloyd-Taylor equation when Ms was low, indicating that Ms might be a main factor affecting Fcb when the ecosystem is stressed by low-moisture. (5) Annual Fcb of the forest in 2003 was estimated as (787.4±296.8) gCm^-2a^-1, which was 17% lower than soil respiration measured by statistic chamber method. CO₂ flux measured by eddy covariance is often underestimated, and further study therefore calls for emphasis on methods quantifying Fcb components of respiration of soil, as well as respiration and photosynthesis of understory vegetations.     

Extreme rainfall and snowfall alter responses of soil respiration to nitrogen fertilization: a 3‐year field experiment

Extreme precipitation is predicted to be more frequent and intense accompanying global warming and may have profound impacts on soil respiration (Rs) and its components, that is, autotrophic (Ra) and heterotrophic (Rh) respiration. However, how natural extreme rainfall or snowfall events affect these fluxes are still lacking, especially under nitrogen (N) fertilization. In this study, extreme rainfall and snowfall events occurred during a 3‐year field experiment, allowing us to examine their effects on the response of Rs, Rh, and Ra to N supply. In normal rainfall years of 2011/2012 and 2012/2013, N fertilization significantly stimulated Rs by 23.9% and 10.9%, respectively. This stimulation was mainly due to the increase of Ra because of N‐induced increase in plant biomass. In the record wet year of 2013/2014, however, Rs was independent on N supply because of the inhibition effect of the extreme rainfall event. Compared with those in other years, Rh and Ra were reduced by 36.8% and 59.1%, respectively, which were likely related to the anoxic stress on soil microbes and decreased photosynthates supply. Although N supply did not affect annual Rh, the response ratio (RR) of Rh flux to N fertilization decreased firstly during growing season, increased in nongrowing season and peaked during spring thaw in each year. Nongrowing season Rs and Rh contributed 5.5–16.4% to their annual fluxes and were higher in 2012/2013 than other years due to the extreme snowfall inducing higher soil moisture during spring thaw. The RR of nongrowing season Rs and Rh decreased in years with extreme snowfall or rainfall compared to those in normal years. Overall, our results highlight the significant effects of extreme precipitation on responses of Rs and its components to N fertilization, which should be incorporated into models to improve the prediction of carbon‐climate feedbacks.     

Different responses of soil respiration and its components to nitrogen addition among biomes: a meta‐analysis

Anthropogenic activities have increased nitrogen (N) deposition by threefold to fivefold over the last century, which may considerably affect soil respiration (Rs). Although numerous individual studies and a few meta‐analyses have been conducted, it remains controversial as to how N addition affects Rs and its components [i.e., autotrophic (Ra) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh)]. To reconcile the difference, we conducted a comprehensive meta‐analysis of 295 published studies to examine the responses of Rs and its components to N addition in terrestrial ecosystems. We also assessed variations in their responses in relation to ecosystem types, environmental conditions, and experimental duration (DUR). Our results show that N addition significantly increased Rs by 2.0% across all biomes but decreased by 1.44% in forests and increased by 7.84% and 12.4% in grasslands and croplands, respectively (P < 0.05). The differences may largely result from diverse responses of Ra to N addition among biomes with more stimulation of Ra in croplands and grasslands compared with no significant change in forests. Rh exhibited a similar negative response to N addition among biomes except that in croplands, tropical and boreal forests. Methods of partitioning Rs did not induce significant differences in the responses of Ra or Rh to N addition, except that Ra from root exclusion and component integration methods exhibited the opposite responses in temperate forests. The response ratios (RR) of Rs to N addition were positively correlated with mean annual temperature (MAT), with being more significant when MAT was less than 15 °C, but negatively with DUR. In addition, the responses of Rs and its components to N addition largely resulted from the changes in root and microbial biomass and soil C content as indicated by correlation analysis. The response patterns of Rs to N addition as revealed in this study can be benchmarks for future modeling and experimental studies.     

Contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration in a Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) artificial forest

Soil respiration was measured for 2 years in an artificial gap and in an undisturbed area in a Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) forest to estimate the contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration. Measurement plots were set up at the center of the gap, the edge of the gap, the edge of the surrounding stand and within the stand. Using a small gap (2.5 m × 2.5 m) enabled us to maintain the same soil temperature and soil moisture as found in the stand. Seasonal fluctuations in soil respiration, increasing in summer and decreasing in winter, corresponded to changes in the soil surface temperature. Soil respiration in the gap site did not differ significantly from those in the stand in the first year of gap formation. However, in the second year, the minimum CO₂ flux was observed at the center of the gap and the maximum at the edge of the surrounding stand. Assuming that the differences between soil respiration in the center of the gap and that in the stand were equal to the root respiration, the root respiration rate was calculated from the relationship between the root respiration rates (Rr) and the soil surface temperature (Ts) by Ln(Rr) = 0.07Ts + 3.48. The average contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration, as estimated from the soil surface temperature in the stand by using the above equation, was 49%. After taking root decomposition into consideration, the contribution of root respiration to soil respiration increased from 49 to 57%.     

施肥方式对紫色土土壤异养呼吸的影响

采用静态暗箱-气相色谱法于2010年12月至2011年10月对不同施肥方式下的紫色土土壤呼吸进行了研究,以揭示施肥方式对紫色土异养呼吸的影响。结果表明:施肥可对土壤异养呼吸产生激发效应。施肥后第5天出现峰值,猪厩肥处理的异养呼吸峰值为2356.8 mg CO2m-2h-1,显著高于秸秆配施氮磷钾(970.1 mgCO2m-2h-1)和常规氮磷钾处理(406.8 mgCO2m-2h-1)(P0.01);小麦季常规氮磷钾、猪厩肥和秸秆配施氮磷钾处理的平均土壤异养呼吸速率为212.9、285.8和305.8mgCO2m-2h-1,CO2排放量为255.1、342.3和369.5 gC/m2,玉米季为408.2、642.8和446.4 mgCO2m-2h-1,CO2排放量为344.7、542.8和376.9 gC/m2,玉米季土壤异养呼吸平均速率及CO2排放量均高于小麦季。全年平均土壤异养呼吸速率分别为310.6、446.3和377.4 mg CO2m-2h-1,CO2排放总量分别为599.8、885.1和746.4 gC/m2。猪厩肥对土壤异养呼吸速率和CO2排放量的影响最大,秸秆配施氮磷钾肥次之,氮磷钾肥最小,说明有机物料的投入是紫色土土壤异养呼吸速率的主要调控措施,低碳氮比的有机物料能促进土壤异养呼吸和CO2的排放。猪厩肥和秸秆配施氮磷钾肥处理相应地表和地下5 cm温度的Q10值分别为2.64、1.88和2.77、1.99,表明低碳氮比的有机物料还能增加土壤异养呼吸Q10值,使土壤异养呼吸速率对温度的敏感性加强。     

Soil respiration in Pinus tabulaeformis forest during dormant period at Huoditang forest zone in the Qinling Mountains, China

Soil CO₂ efflux in forest ecosystems during dormant season is one of the key components of the forest ecosystem carbon balance. Little work has been done to quantify soil CO₂ efflux in most forests in China in special time because of difficulty in taking measurements. Soil respiration in a natural secondary Pinus tabulaeformis forest at Huoditang in the Qinling Mountains was measured from October to December in 2006 by means of open-path dynamic chamber technique. Relationships of soil respiration rate (R_s) with mean soil temperature (MST) and mean volumetric soil moisture content (MVSC) in different depths (0-5 cm and 5-10 cm) were examined in the current study. We found that (1) At the same observation site (upper-part, middle-part or under-part), there were tremendous temporal and spatial variations in R_s with variation coefficients of 48.38%, 82.51% and 81.88% in October, November and December, respectively; (2) There was a significant exponent relationship between diurnal mean soil respiration rate (F_c) and diurnal mean soil temperature (DMST) when DMST > 8.5°C for both soil depths (0-5 cm and 5-10 cm) examined. The temperature sensitivity of soil respiration, known as the Q₁₀ value, was 1.297 and 1.323 in soil depths of 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm, respectively; (3) Relationship between R_s and MVSC was complex in soil depths of 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm; (4) Soil CO₂ efflux from October to December in 2006 in the experimental area was (977.37 ± 88.43) to (997.19 ± 80.73) gCm⁻² (p = 0.005).     

亚热带沟叶结缕草草坪土壤呼吸

随城市化进程加速,城市草坪生态系统释放CO2将对区域碳循环产生重要影响。采用LI-8100开路式土壤碳通量测量系统对亚热带沟叶结缕草草坪（Zoysia matrella）土壤呼吸进行为期1a的定位研究,结果表明：草坪土壤呼吸季节动态呈现为单峰曲线,全年土壤呼吸速率的变化范围在38.99—368.50 mg C?m-2?h-1之间,年通量为1684 g C?m-2?a-1。土壤温度、总生物量、以及二者的交互作用对土壤呼吸季节变化的解释程度接近,分别为89%、88%和90%,但仅二者的交互作用进入土壤呼吸的逐步回归方程,表明草坪土壤呼吸的季节变化主要受土壤温度与总生物量共同驱动。春末修剪草坪对土壤呼吸速率没有显著影响。在秋末无雨时期,浇水后1—2d土壤湿度对土壤呼吸的促进作用可掩盖同期降温的影响,使土壤呼吸速率显著升高。     

高寒矮嵩草草甸冬季CO2释放特征

冬季碳排放在高寒草地年内碳平衡中占有重要位置。为探讨高寒草地冬季碳排放特征及温度敏感性,于2003-2005年在中国科学院海北高寒草甸生态系统研究站,利用密闭箱-气相色谱法连续观测了高寒矮嵩草草甸2个冬季的生态系统、土壤呼吸通量特征。结果表明:1)高寒矮嵩草草甸冬季生态系统呼吸、土壤呼吸均具有明显的日变化和季节变化规律,温度是其主要的控制因子,能够解释44%以上的呼吸速率变异。2)冬季生态系统呼吸与土壤呼吸速率在统计上没有显著差异,土壤呼吸占生态系统呼吸的比例高达85%以上。3)2003-2004年冬季生态系统呼吸、土壤呼吸的Q₁₀值分别为1.53,1.38;2004-2005年冬季生态系统呼吸与土壤呼吸的Q₁₀值为1.86,1.68,2个冬季生态系统呼吸的Q₁₀值均高于土壤呼吸。4)未发现高寒矮嵩草草甸冷冬年份的Q₁₀值高于暖冬年份以及冬季的Q₁₀值高于生长季。     

增加降水对干旱河谷区云南松人工林土壤呼吸的影响

2013年5月至2014年6月,对干旱河谷区云南松(Pinus yunnanensis)人工林进行增加降水试验,试验设置对照(CK,0 mm m~(-2)a~(-1))、增水10%(A1,80 mm m~(-2)a~(-1))、增水20%(A2,160 mm m~(-2)a~(-1))和增水30%(A3,240 mm m~(-2)a~(-1))4个处理水平。采用LI-8100开路式土壤碳通量测量系统测定每月土壤呼吸速率。结果表明,4个处理云南松人工林土壤呼吸速率均呈明显的季节变化,7月最高,2月最低。与CK相比,A1年均土壤呼吸速率无显著性差异(P0.05),A2显著增加了12.88%(P0.05),而A3明显减少了17.71%(P0.05)。3个增水处理均提高了土壤呼吸的温度敏感性,减弱了土壤呼吸与土壤湿度的关系。与土壤温度相比,土壤湿度对土壤呼吸的影响相对较小。增水增加了湿季土壤微生物碳、氮含量,干季对微生物碳含量无影响,但明显降低了微生物氮含量。这说明,降水增加对干旱河谷区云南松人工林土壤呼吸的影响是不尽相同的,适当的增水会促进土壤呼吸,而过量的增水会抑制土壤呼吸。
