辽河口滨海湿地CH4排放特征及其影响因素

采用静态箱-气相色谱法,于2016年6—11月连续观测辽河口芦苇湿地、翅碱蓬湿地和裸滩湿地的CH_4排放速率,同时测定温度、氧化还原电位(Eh)、pH值和电导率(EC)等相关环境因子的动态变化。结果表明,3种类型湿地的CH_4排放具有明显的季节变化特征,均呈先上升后下降趋势。芦苇湿地、翅碱蓬湿地(涨潮前)和裸滩湿地(涨潮前)CH_4排放通量变化范围分别为0.447—10.40、0.045—0.509 mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和0.016—0.593 mg m~(-2) h~(-1),观测期内排放通量均值相应为(3.699±3.679)、(0.165±0.156) mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和(0.198±0.191) mg m~(-2) h~(-1),不同类型湿地之间差异显著(P0.01),芦苇湿地裸滩湿地(涨潮前)翅碱蓬湿地(涨潮前)。涨潮过程中,翅碱蓬湿地和裸滩湿地的排放速率分别变化在0.009—0.353 mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和0.018—0.335 mg m~(-2) h~(-1),观测期间其排放速率均值分别为(0.119±0.132) mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和(0.131±0.103) mg m~(-2) h~(-1),明显低于涨潮前(P0.01)。不同湿地类型间CH_4排放通量与电导率(EC)呈显著负相关(P0.01)。研究结果表明,潮汐和电导率均为影响辽河口不同类型湿地中CH_4排放的关键因子。     

模拟SO42-沉降对闽江口淡水感潮野慈姑湿地甲烷排放通量的影响

2015年12月—2016年10月,每月小潮日原位定期向闽江口塔礁洲淡水感潮野慈姑(Sagittaria trifolia L.)湿地施加剂量为60、120 kg S hm~(-2)a~(-1)的K_2SO_4溶液(分别记做S-60和S-120),探讨模拟硫酸根(SO_4~(2-))沉降对河口淡水感潮湿地甲烷(CH4)排放通量及间隙水SO_4~(2-)浓度的影响。对照、S-60和S-120处理组CH_4排放通量年均值分别为(7.88±1.00)mg h~(-1)m~(-2)、(6.55±0.97)mg h~(-1)m~(-2)和(6.66±1.49)mg h~(-1)m~(-2)。在年尺度上,两个高强度模拟SO_4~(2-)沉降处理组均未显著降低闽江口淡水感潮野慈姑湿地CH_4排放通量(P0.05),即高强度SO_4~(2-)沉降不会对河口淡水感潮湿地CH_4排放通量产生类似于其对泥炭湿地和水稻田的显著抑制效应。在年尺度以及秋、冬季,两个施加K_2SO_4溶液处理显著增加了野慈姑湿地10 cm深度土壤间隙水SO_4~(2-)浓度。对于各个处理组,温度较高的夏、秋季CH_4排放通量均显著高于温度相对较低的冬、春季(P0.05)。不同处理组CH_4排放通量均与土壤温度呈显著正相关关系,温度仍然是影响亚热带河口淡水感潮湿地CH_4排放通量的重要环境因子。     

博斯腾湖人工和天然芦苇湿地土壤CO2、CH4和N2O排放通量

为研究干旱区淡水湖泊人工、天然芦苇湿地土壤温室气体源汇强度及其影响因素,采用静态箱-气相色谱法,于2015年1月—12月对博斯腾湖人工和天然芦苇湿地土壤CO_2、CH_4和N_2O通量进行全年观测。结果表明,人工芦苇湿地土壤CO_2、CH_4和N_2O排放通量变化范围分别为:10.1—588.4mg m~(-2)h~(-1)、2.9—82.4μg m~(-2)h~(-1)和1.32—29.7μg m~(-2)h~(-1),天然芦苇湿地土壤CO_2、CH_4和N_2O排放通量变化范围分别为10.3—469.6mg m~(-2)h~(-1)、3.1—64.8μg m~(-2)h~(-1)和1.9—14.3μg m~(-2)h~(-1)。人工和天然芦苇湿地夏季土壤CO_2排放通量均明显高于其他季节,而土壤CH_4和N_2O排放通量较大值多集中在春末夏初。全年观测期间,人工芦苇湿地土壤CO_2、CH_4和N_2O排放通量高于天然芦苇湿地(P0.05);温度是影响人工、天然芦苇湿地土壤CO_2和N_2O排放通量的关键因素,近地面温度和5cm土壤温度与CO_2和N_2O排放通量呈现极显著的正相关关系(P0.01)。土壤CH_4排放通量是温度和水分二者共同影响的,由近地表温度、5cm土壤温度和土壤含水量共同拟合的方程可以分别解释人工、天然芦苇湿地土壤CH_4排放通量的71%、74.5%;土壤有机碳、pH、盐分、NH_4~+-N、NO_3~--N也是人工、天然芦苇湿地土壤CO_2、CH_4和N_2O排放通量的影响因素;人工和天然芦苇湿地土壤均是CO_2、CH_4和N_2O的"源"。基于100年尺度,由3种温室气体计算全球增温潜势得出,人工芦苇湿地全球增温潜势大于天然芦苇湿地(15150.18kg/hm~212484.21kg/hm~2)。     

大兴安岭永久冻土区7种沼泽类型土壤温室气体排放特征

气候变暖及永久冻土退化将会增加冻土湿地的温室气体排放,但关于大兴安岭永久冻土区沼泽湿地温室气体通量及主控因子尚不明确。采用静态箱-气相色谱法,同步原位观测大兴安岭永久冻土区7种天然沼泽类型(草丛沼泽-C、灌丛沼泽-G、毛赤杨沼泽-M、白桦沼泽-B、落叶松苔草沼泽-LT、落叶松藓类沼泽-LX、落叶松泥炭藓沼泽-LN)土壤CO_2、CH_4和N_2O通量及土壤温度、水位、化冻深度及土壤碳氮含量、碳氮比、pH值及含水量,揭示永久冻土区沼泽土壤温室气体通量及其主控因子。结果表明:1) 7种沼泽类型土壤CO_2年均通量(125.12—163.33 mg m~(-2) h~(-1))相近;2) CH_4年均通量(-0.007—0.400 mg m~(-2) h~(-1))呈草丛显著高于其他沼泽5.6—65.7倍(P0.01);3) N_2O年均通量(1.52—37.90μg m~(-2) h~(-1))呈阔叶林沼泽显著高于其他类型2.0—23.9倍,针叶林沼泽显著高于草丛、灌丛沼泽2.9—6.2倍(P0.05);4) CO_2主控因子为土壤温度和水位;CH_4主控因子为土壤温度和化冻深度;N_2O受到多种环境因子综合调控,共同可以解释N_2O变化的26%—99%;5)土壤增温潜势(11.05—15.37 t CO_2 hm~(-2) a~(-1))相近,且均以CO_2占绝对优势地位,但草丛以CH_4占次要地位,森林沼泽则以N_2O占次要地位。综合对比国内外现有研究结果发现目前大兴安岭永久冻土区沼泽土壤仍处于CO_2、CH_4和N_2O低排放阶段。     

神农架主要森林土壤CH4、CO2和N2O排放对降水减少的响应

研究降水格局改变后森林土壤温室气体排放格局,可为森林温室气体排放清单制定提供科学依据。以神农架典型森林类型常绿落叶阔叶混交林和2种人工林马尾松和杉木林为研究对象,研究了降水格局改变后,其土壤CH_4吸收、CO_2和N_2O的排放格局和可能机制。结果表明:常绿落叶阔叶混交林吸收CH_4通量为(-36.79±13.99)μg Cm~(-2)h~(-1),显著大于马尾松和杉木两种人工林的CH_4吸收通量,其吸收通量分别为(-14.10±3.38)μg Cm~(-2)h~(-1)和(-7.75±2.80)μg Cm~(-2)h~(-1)。马尾松和杉木两种人工林CO_2排放通量分别为(107.03±12.11)μg Cm~(-2)h~(-1)和(80.82±10.29)μg Cm~(-2)h~(-1),显著大于常绿落叶阔叶混交林(71.27±10.59)μg Cm~(-2)h~(-1)。常绿落叶阔叶混交林N_2O排放通量为(8.88±6.75)μg Nm~(-2)h~(-1),显著大于杉木人工林(5.93±2.79)μg Nm~(-2)h~(-1)和马尾松人工林(1.64±1.02)μg Nm~(-2)h~(-1)。分析3种森林土壤CH_4吸收量与其环境因子之间的关系发现,常绿落叶阔叶混交林的CH_4吸收通量与其土壤温度呈现显著的指数负相关关系(P0.01)。常绿落叶阔叶混交林、马尾松林和杉木林的土壤CO_2排放通量与其空气温度和土壤温度之间均呈现显著的指数正相关关系(P0.01)。常绿落叶阔叶混交林和马尾松林土壤N_2O排放通量与空气温度之间均呈现显著的指数正相关关系(P0.01),而马尾松林与土壤温度之间呈显著正相关(P0.05),与土壤湿度之间均无显著相关。降水减半后,减少降水对常绿落叶阔叶混交林和马尾松林土壤CH_4吸收通量均具有明显的促进作用,但对杉木林土壤CH_4吸收量具有抑制作用,对常绿落叶阔叶混交林和杉木林土壤CO_2平均排放通量均具有明显的促进作用,而对马尾松林土壤CO_2平均排放通量明显抑制作用,对常绿落叶阔叶混交林、马尾松和杉木林土壤N_2O排放量具有明显的抑制作用。     

科尔沁沙丘-草甸梯级生态系统土壤温室气体通量特征及其影响因素

采用静态箱-气相色谱法,对科尔沁半干旱地区典型的沙丘-草甸梯级生态系统中半流动沙丘和草甸湿地的温室气体(CO₂、CH₄、N₂O)通量进行了观测,分析了生长季温室气体的动态变化及其与环境影响因子的关系.结果表明: 生长季半流动沙丘和草甸湿地CH₄通量均整体表现为吸收,平均值分别为-52.7和-34.7 μg·m^-2·h^-1,介于-176.1～49.8 μg·m^-2·h^-1之间变化,8月22日半流动沙丘CH₄吸收值达到生长季最大值;8、9月降雨集中时段内草甸湿地CH₄通量表现为持续排放,与半流动沙丘呈明显差异.N₂O通量在7月21日达到生长季最大值,半流动沙丘N₂O通量的月均值表现为7月>8月>9月>6月>5月.土壤温湿度是影响CO₂和CH₄通量的关键因子,N₂O通量主要受土壤温度的影响.样地土壤温度敏感性(Q₁₀)表现为半流动沙丘(1.009)<草甸湿地(1.474),半流动沙丘土壤受到水分胁迫,导致其温室气体通量对土壤温度变化的敏感性明显低于草甸湿地.     

隆宝滩保护区不同生态系统CH_4和CO_2通量差异及其影响因素

以位于青藏高原中部的隆宝滩自然保护区为对象,在2017—2018年生长季节使用便携式温室气体分析仪对高寒草地、沼泽化草甸和高寒沼泽的CH_4和CO_2通量进行原位观测,结合环境因子确定不同生态系统的CH_4和CO_2通量差异及其影响因素。结果表明,2个生长季节中沼泽化草甸和高寒沼泽排放CH_4,峰值出现在7—9月,高寒草地吸收CH_4,峰值出现在8月,沼泽化草甸和高寒沼泽CH_4通量与高寒草地差异显著(P0.05)。3种生态系统的CO_2通量均为正值,峰值出现在6—8月,高寒草地CO_2通量年均值最大,高寒沼泽最小,二者差异显著(P0.05)。统计显示,高寒草地和高寒沼泽CO_2与CH_4通量之间呈极显著负相关(P0.01),而在沼泽化草甸中二者呈显著正相关(P=0.02)。CH_4、CO_2与环境因子关系的主成分分析结果显示,第1主成分是土壤因子,第2主成分是生物因子,第3主成分是温度因子。逐步回归结果显示,土壤温度是影响月尺度CH_4通量的关键因子,土壤温度和湿度是影响月尺度CO_2通量的关键因子。Pearson相关分析表明,3种生态系统的CO_2通量均与土温呈极显著正相关(P0.01),与土壤水分呈显著负相关(P0.05),CH_4通量则与土壤水分呈极显著正相关(P0.01)。受温度、土壤水分以及土壤有机质和氮等因素影响,高寒草地、沼泽化草甸和高寒沼泽CH_4和CO_2通量存在明显的异质性。因此,在估算青藏高原CH_4和CO_2排放时,需考虑不同生态系统碳排放的差异。     

冬季水分管理和水稻覆膜栽培对川中丘陵地区冬水田CH4排放的影响

采用静态箱-气相色谱法观测冬季水分管理和水稻覆膜栽培对川中丘陵地区冬水田全年的CH_4排放通量。试验设置持续淹水(CF)、冬季直接落干+稻季淹水(TF)与冬季覆膜落干+稻季覆膜(PM)3个处理。结果表明,冬季休闲期,CF、TF和PM处理CH_4排放分别为16.1、1.4 g/m~2和2.7 g/m~2;水稻生长期,CF、TF和PM处理CH_4排放分别为57.7、27.7 g/m~2和13.5 g/m~2。相较于CF处理,TF与PM处理分别减少其全年CH_4排放60.6%和78.0%。TF与PM处理水稻生长期CH_4排放峰值分别较CF处理低33.0%和56.1%。休闲期,TF、PM处理厢面与厢沟区域CH_4排放与土壤温度显著正相关(P0.05),与土壤氧化还原电位(土壤Eh)显著负相关(P0.05),而CF处理CH_4排放仅与土壤温度显著正相关(P0.05)。水稻生长期,CF处理CH_4排放与土壤温度显著正相关(P0.05),与土壤Eh显著负相关(P0.05),TF处理CH_4排放仅与土壤Eh显著负相关(P0.05),PM处理厢沟CH_4排放与土壤Eh显著正相关(P0.05)。各处理水稻生长期土壤可溶性有机碳含量(DOC)与微生物生物量碳含量(MBC)显著高于休闲期(P0.05)。研究结果为进一步研究冬水田全年CH_4排放规律及寻求有效的减排措施提供数据支撑和科学依据。

生物炭与氮肥对旱作春玉米农田CO_2和CH_4排放特征的影响

为了研究生物炭与氮肥对旱作春玉米农田CO_2和CH_4排放通量季节变化、累积排放总量及CO_2+CH_4排放强度的影响,试验设置C_0N_0(不加生物炭,不施氮肥)、C_0N_1(不加生物炭,施氮肥225kg·hm~(-2))和C_1N_1(添加生物炭50t·hm~(-2),施氮肥225kg·hm~(-2))3个处理,采用密闭式静态暗箱-气相色谱法对不同生物炭和氮肥输入旱作春玉米农田CO_2和CH_4排放通量进行连续观测,同时对影响通量变化的0~20cm土层温度和水分因子进行测定。结果表明:(1)试验期内不同处理春玉米农田均表现为CO_2累积通量的源,且CO_2排放通量均呈现一定的峰值变化规律。(2)C_1N_1处理减少了春玉米生长季农田CO_2排放通量和累积排放总量,在试验的2个生长季内农田CO_2平均排放通量和累积排放总量各处理均表现为C_0N_0C_0N_1C_1N_1,且C_1N_1处理降低显著。(3)土壤CO_2排放通量与土壤温度变化呈显著正相关关系,可用指数方程和二次方程较好拟合二者关系,且与10cm土层温度的相关性优于0cm土层温度,但土壤CO_2排放通量与土壤含水量呈负相关关系。(4)试验各处理农田土壤CH_4排放通量在-16.08~-73.96μg·m~(-2)·h~(-1)之间,表现为大气CH_4的净吸收库;C_1N_1处理增加了土壤CH_4排放通量和累积排放总量,但作用效果的显著性受年际环境因子的影响;农田土壤CH_4排放通量与土壤含水量呈显著正相关关系,与土壤温度呈显著负相关关系。研究发现,添加生物炭和施氮减少了旱作农田春玉米生长季CO_2排放通量和累积排放总量,增加了CH_4排放通量和累积排放总量,总体上显著增加了春玉米产量,显著减少农田CO_2+CH_4排放强度。     

Soil properties and sediment accretion modulate methane fluxes from restored wetlands

Wetlands are the largest source of methane (CH₄) globally, yet our understanding of how process‐level controls scale to ecosystem fluxes remains limited. It is particularly uncertain how variable soil properties influence ecosystem CH₄ emissions on annual time scales. We measured ecosystem carbon dioxide (CO₂) and CH₄ fluxes by eddy covariance from two wetlands recently restored on peat and alluvium soils within the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta of California. Annual CH₄ fluxes from the alluvium wetland were significantly lower than the peat site for multiple years following restoration, but these differences were not explained by variation in dominant climate drivers or productivity across wetlands. Soil iron (Fe) concentrations were significantly higher in alluvium soils, and alluvium CH₄ fluxes were decoupled from plant processes compared with the peat site, as expected when Fe reduction inhibits CH₄ production in the rhizosphere. Soil carbon content and CO₂ uptake rates did not vary across wetlands and, thus, could also be ruled out as drivers of initial CH₄ flux differences. Differences in wetland CH₄ fluxes across soil types were transient; alluvium wetland fluxes were similar to peat wetland fluxes 3 years after restoration. Changing alluvium CH₄ emissions with time could not be explained by an empirical model based on dominant CH₄ flux biophysical drivers, suggesting that other factors, not measured by our eddy covariance towers, were responsible for these changes. Recently accreted alluvium soils were less acidic and contained more reduced Fe compared with the pre‐restoration parent soils, suggesting that CH₄ emissions increased as conditions became more favorable to methanogenesis within wetland sediments. This study suggests that alluvium soil properties, likely Fe content, are capable of inhibiting ecosystem‐scale wetland CH₄ flux, but these effects appear to be transient without continued input of alluvium to wetland sediments.     

The positive net radiative greenhouse gas forcing of increasing methane emissions from a thawing boreal forest‐wetland landscape

At the southern margin of permafrost in North America, climate change causes widespread permafrost thaw. In boreal lowlands, thawing forested permafrost peat plateaus (‘forest’) lead to expansion of permafrost‐free wetlands (‘wetland’). Expanding wetland area with saturated and warmer organic soils is expected to increase landscape methane (CH₄) emissions. Here, we quantify the thaw‐induced increase in CH₄ emissions for a boreal forest‐wetland landscape in the southern Taiga Plains, Canada, and evaluate its impact on net radiative forcing relative to potential long‐term net carbon dioxide (CO₂) exchange. Using nested wetland and landscape eddy covariance net CH₄ flux measurements in combination with flux footprint modeling, we find that landscape CH₄ emissions increase with increasing wetland‐to‐forest ratio. Landscape CH₄ emissions are most sensitive to this ratio during peak emission periods, when wetland soils are up to 10 °C warmer than forest soils. The cumulative growing season (May–October) wetland CH₄ emission of ~13 g CH₄ m^?2 is the dominating contribution to the landscape CH₄ emission of ~7 g CH₄ m^?2. In contrast, forest contributions to landscape CH₄ emissions appear to be negligible. The rapid wetland expansion of 0.26 ± 0.05% yr^?1 in this region causes an estimated growing season increase of 0.034 ± 0.007 g CH₄ m^?2 yr^?1 in landscape CH₄ emissions. A long‐term net CO₂ uptake of >200 g CO₂ m^?2 yr^?1 is required to offset the positive radiative forcing of increasing CH₄ emissions until the end of the 21st century as indicated by an atmospheric CH₄ and CO₂ concentration model. However, long‐term apparent carbon accumulation rates in similar boreal forest‐wetland landscapes and eddy covariance landscape net CO₂ flux measurements suggest a long‐term net CO₂ uptake between 49 and 157 g CO₂ m^?2 yr^?1. Thus, thaw‐induced CH₄ emission increases likely exert a positive net radiative greenhouse gas forcing through the 21st century.     

How strong is the current carbon sequestration of an Atlantic blanket bog?

Although northern peatlands cover only 3% of the land surface, their thick peat deposits contain an estimated one‐third of the world's soil organic carbon (SOC). Under a changing climate the potential of peatlands to continue sequestering carbon is unknown. This paper presents an analysis of 6 years of total carbon balance of an almost intact Atlantic blanket bog in Glencar, County Kerry, Ireland. The three components of the measured carbon balance were: the land‐atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) and the flux of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exported in a stream draining the peatland. The 6 years C balance was computed from 6 years (2003–2008) of measurements of meteorological and eddy‐covariance CO₂ fluxes, periodic chamber measurements of CH₄ fluxes over 3.5 years, and 2 years of continuous DOC flux measurements. Over the 6 years, the mean annual carbon was ?29.7±30.6 (±1 SD) g C m^?2 yr^?1 with its components as follows: carbon in CO₂ was a sink of ?47.8±30.0 g C m^?2 yr^?1; carbon in CH₄ was a source of 4.1±0.5 g C m^?2 yr^?1 and the carbon exported as stream DOC was a source of 14.0±1.6 g C m^?2 yr^?1. For 2 out of the 6 years, the site was a source of carbon with the sum of CH₄ and DOC flux exceeding the carbon sequestered as CO₂. The average C balance for the 6 years corresponds to an average annual growth rate of the peatland surface of 1.3 mm yr^?1.     

放牧对若尔盖高原湿地CH4排放的影响

湿地是大气甲烷(CH_4)的主要排放源,而有关放牧对湿地CH_4排放的影响特征仍未得到足够的报道。因此,通过静态箱法,研究了放牧对四川省若尔盖高原湿地CH_4排放的影响,CH_4气体通过快速温室气体分析仪测量。结果表明:放牧样地和围栏内样地生长季CH_4排放量为(31.32±19.57)g/m~2和(30.31±23.46)g/m~2,它们之间无差异显著;但是集中放牧期间(7—9月),放牧样地(21.01±12.35)g/m~2较围栏内样地显著增加了CH_4排放量为54.3%。2014年生长季期间通过刈割植物模拟放牧表明两种刈割强度CH_4排放量为(5.01±5.37)g/m~2和(4.69±5.99)g/m~2,较未刈割样地(1.15±1.89)g/m~2增加了335.9%和308.0%,其原因可能是放牧或者刈割减少地表植物生物量,降低植物高度,缩短了CH_4排放的路径距离。该结果可为我国高原湿地保护与管理决策提供基础数据支撑。     

Impacts of the C4 sedge Cyperus papyrus L. on carbon and water fluxes in an African wetland

Fluxes of CO₂ and H₂O vapour were measured by eddy covariance from a stand of the C₄ emergent sedge Cyperus papyrus (papyrus), which formed a fringing swamp on the north-west shore of Lake Naivasha, Kenya. The fluxes of CO₂ and H₂O vapour between the papyrus swamp and the atmosphere were large but variable, depending on the hydrology of the wetland system and the condition of the vegetation. These measurements, combined with simulation modelling of annual fluxes of CO₂, show that papyrus swamps have the potential to sequester large amounts of the carbon (1.6 kg C m^–2 y^–1) when detritus accumulates under water in anaerobic conditions, but they are a net source of carbon release to the atmosphere (1.0 kg C m^–2 y^–1) when water levels fall to expose detritus and rhizomes to aerobic conditions. Evapotranspiration from papyrus swamps (E) was frequently lower than evaporation from open water surfaces (E _o) and plant factors have a strong influence on the flux of water to the atmosphere. For the period of measurement E/E_o was 0.36.     

Effects of seasonality,transport pathway,and spatial structure on greenhouse gas fluxes in a restored wetland

Wetlands can influence global climate via greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange of carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). Few studies have quantified the full GHG budget of wetlands due to the high spatial and temporal variability of fluxes. We report annual open‐water diffusion and ebullition fluxes of CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O from a restored emergent marsh ecosystem. We combined these data with concurrent eddy‐covariance measurements of whole‐ecosystem CO₂ and CH₄ exchange to estimate GHG fluxes and associated radiative forcing effects for the whole wetland, and separately for open‐water and vegetated cover types. Annual open‐water CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emissions were 915 ± 95 g C‐CO₂ m^?2 yr^?1, 2.9 ± 0.5 g C‐CH₄ m^?2 yr^?1, and 62 ± 17 mg N‐N₂O m^?2 yr^?1, respectively. Diffusion dominated open‐water GHG transport, accounting for >99% of CO₂ and N₂O emissions, and ~71% of CH₄ emissions. Seasonality was minor for CO₂ emissions, whereas CH₄ and N₂O fluxes displayed strong and asynchronous seasonal dynamics. Notably, the overall radiative forcing of open‐water fluxes (3.5 ± 0.3 kg CO₂‐eq m^?2 yr^?1) exceeded that of vegetated zones (1.4 ± 0.4 kg CO₂‐eq m^?2 yr^?1) due to high ecosystem respiration. After scaling results to the entire wetland using object‐based cover classification of remote sensing imagery, net uptake of CO₂ (?1.4 ± 0.6 kt CO₂‐eq yr^?1) did not offset CH₄ emission (3.7 ± 0.03 kt CO₂‐eq yr^?1), producing an overall positive radiative forcing effect of 2.4 ± 0.3 kt CO₂‐eq yr^?1. These results demonstrate clear effects of seasonality, spatial structure, and transport pathway on the magnitude and composition of wetland GHG emissions, and the efficacy of multiscale flux measurement to overcome challenges of wetland heterogeneity.

成熟森林的碳收支对陆地生态系统碳循环研究具有重要意义。目前,我国关于西南亚高山暗针叶林成熟林碳通量的研究还相对较少,尚不明确对碳循环的作用。以涡度相关技术为基础,对川西贡嘎山东坡峨眉冷杉成熟林生态系统尺度的CO_2通量进行长期定位观测。利用2015年6月至2016年5月观测数据,分析了峨眉冷杉成熟林净生态系统CO_2交换量(NEE)、生态系统呼吸(Re)和总生态系统生产力(GPP)的季节变异特征及其源汇状况,并结合环境因子,分析CO_2通量的主要控制因子。结果表明:(1)峨眉冷杉成熟林NEE具有明显的日变化特征,呈现"U"形变化,白天为负值,夜间为正值,中午前后CO_2通量达到最大;各月间日平均NEE变化差异显著,NEE峰值最大出现在2015年6月(-0.64 mg CO_2m~(-2)s~(-1)),峰值最小出现在2016年1月(-0.08 mg CO_2m~(-2)s~(-1));日平均NEE由正值变为负值的时间夏季最早,冬季最晚,NEE由负值变为正值的时间冬季最早,夏季最晚。(2)峨眉冷杉成熟林NEE、Re和GPP具有明显的月变化。2015年6月和12月NEE分别达到最大值(-46.02 g C m~(-2)月~(-1))和最小值(-1.42 g C m~(-2)月~(-1));Re呈现单峰变化,最大和最小值分别出现在2015年6月(84.78 g C m~(-2)月~(-1))和2016年1月(12.82 g C m~(-2)月~(-1));GPP最大值和最小值分别出现在2015年6月(130.81 g C m~(-2)月~(-1))与2016年1月(16.15 g C m~(-2)月~(-1))。(3)空气温度(T_a)、5 cm土壤温度(T_(s5))和光合有效辐射(PAR)是影响峨眉冷杉成熟林CO_2通量的主要环境因子。T_a与CO_2通量呈指数相关(R~2=0.5283,P0.01);白天CO_2通量与PAR显著相关(R~2=0.4373,P0.01);夜晚CO_2通量与T_(s5)显著相关(R~2=0.4717,P0.01)。(4)全年NEE、Re和GPP分别为-241.87、564.81 g C m~(-2)和806.68 g C m~(-2),表明川西贡嘎山峨眉冷杉成熟林具有较强的碳汇功能。     

潮汐作用对黄河三角洲盐沼湿地甲烷排放的影响

盐沼湿地作为陆海交互作用的过渡带是CH₄重要的自然来源。潮汐活动通过影响CH₄的产生、氧化和传输驱动了湿地CH₄间歇性、周期性的排放。利用涡度相关和微气象监测技术,对黄河三角洲一个盐地碱蓬生态系统CH₄通量、环境因子和水文要素（潮汐）进行了长期连续监测分析了该生态系统生长季CH₄排放的季节动态及潮汐作用对CH₄排放的影响。结果表明：生长季该生态系统是CH₄的排放源,排放日均值为0.063 mg m^-2 h^-1,（范围为-0.36-0.57 mg m^-2 h^-1）。潮汐淹水阶段和落潮后湿润阶段表现为CH₄的显著源。此外我们发现,短期潮汐活动引起土壤干湿状况的变化促进了CH₄脉冲式的排放,因此未来气候变化下温度升高和降雨季节分配引起的土壤干湿变化将会对该区域CH₄排放甚至碳循环产生积极影响。     

Species-specific Effects of Vascular Plants on Carbon Turnover and Methane Emissions from Wetlands

Species composition affects the carbon turnover and the formation and emission of the greenhouse gas methane (CH₄) in wetlands. Here we investigate the individual effects of vascular plant species on the carbon cycling in a wetland ecosystem. We used a novel combination of laboratory methods and controlled environment facilities and studied three different vascular plant species (Eriophorum vaginatum, Carex rostrata and Juncus effusus) collected from the same wetland in southern Sweden. We found distinct differences in the functioning of these wetland sedges in terms of their effects on carbon dioxide (CO₂) and CH₄ fluxes, bubble emission of CH₄, decomposition of ¹⁴C-labelled acetate into ¹⁴CH₄ and ¹⁴CO₂, rhizospheric oxidation of CH₄ to CO₂ and stimulation of methanogenesis through root exudation of substrate (e.g., acetate). The results show that the emission of CH₄ from peat–plant monoliths was highest when the vegetation was dominated by Carex (6.76 mg CH₄ m⁻² h⁻¹) than when it was dominated by Eriophorum (2.38 mg CH₄ m⁻² h⁻¹) or Juncus (2.68 mg CH₄ m⁻² h⁻¹). Furthermore, the CH₄ emission seemed controlled primarily by the degree of rhizospheric CH₄ oxidation which was between 20 and 40% for Carex but >90% for both the other species. Our results point toward a direct and very important linkage between the plant species composition and the functioning of wetland ecosystems and indicate that changes in the species composition may alter important processes relating to controls of and interactions between greenhouse gas fluxes with significant implications for feedback mechanisms in a changing climate as a result.     

Greenhouse gas budget (CO2, CH4 and N2O) of intensively managed grassland following restoration

The first full greenhouse gas (GHG) flux budget of an intensively managed grassland in Switzerland (Chamau) is presented. The three major trace gases, carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) were measured with the eddy covariance (EC) technique. For CO₂ concentrations, an open‐path infrared gas analyzer was used, while N₂O and CH₄ concentrations were measured with a recently developed continuous‐wave quantum cascade laser absorption spectrometer (QCLAS). We investigated the magnitude of these trace gas emissions after grassland restoration, including ploughing, harrowing, sowing, and fertilization with inorganic and organic fertilizers in 2012. Large peaks of N₂O fluxes (20–50 nmol m^?2 s^?1 compared with a <5 nmol m^?2 s^?1 background) were observed during thawing of the soil after the winter period and after mineral fertilizer application followed by re‐sowing in the beginning of the summer season. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) fluxes were controlled by nitrogen input, plant productivity, soil water content and temperature. Management activities led to increased variations of N₂O fluxes up to 14 days after the management event as compared with background fluxes measured during periods without management (<5 nmol m^?2 s^?1). Fluxes of CO₂ remained small until full plant development in early summer 2012. In contrast, methane emissions showed only minor variations over time. The annual GHG flux budget was dominated by N₂O (48% contribution) and CO₂ emissions (44%). CH₄ flux contribution to the annual budget was only minor (8%). We conclude that recently developed multi‐species QCLAS in an EC system open new opportunities to determine the temporal variation of N₂O and CH₄ fluxes, which further allow to quantify annual emissions. With respect to grassland restoration, our study emphasizes the key role of N₂O and CO₂ losses after ploughing, changing a permanent grassland from a carbon sink to a significant carbon source.
