陆地生态系统氢氧稳定同位素能为陆地与大气的水分交换和陆地生态系统水文循环研究提供独特的示踪信息。基于2009年生长季加拿大落叶林生态系统氢氧稳定同位素组成及环境要素的观测数据,分析了生态系统不同来源液态水和大气水汽同位素组成的时空变化特征,分析了生态系统蒸散与土壤蒸发的同位素组成和同位素通量(Isoflux)的变化特征,并讨论了主要的环境控制因素。结果表明,生态系统中不同来源液态水的同位素组成差别较大,与枝条水和土壤水相比,叶片水同位素组成最富集且变化幅度最大。大气水汽H_2~(18)O和HDO同位素组成随着高度升高而降低,水汽同位素值日变化呈\"W\"型分布,上午水汽同位素值降低,正午有一定的起伏,傍晚回升。水汽同位素组成与大气湿度有显著的相关性,大气水汽过量氘下午均值与表面相对湿度和水汽混合比的相关系数分别为-0.61(P0.01)和-0.57(P0.01)。受蒸腾速率和叶水同位素富集程度的共同作用,白天蒸散H_2~(18)O组成在正午和傍晚高,下午低。Isoflux的计算结果表明白天下垫面蒸散有助于大气水汽同位素富集,蒸散同位素通量最高可达147.5 mmol m~(-2)s~(-1)‰。本研究结果能为同位素水文模型提供数据支持和理论参考。     

三江源区退化高寒草甸蒸散特征及冻融变化对其的影响

蒸散(ET)是陆地生态系统水分收支的重要分量。为探究三江源区退化高寒草甸的蒸散特征,基于2016和2017年涡度相关和微气象系统的观测数据,定量研究了其生态系统的蒸散变化及其环境和生物因子的影响。为深入探讨不同时段的蒸散变化,根据土壤冻融状态和植被生长状况进一步将年蒸散划分为3个时段:冻结期、冻融交替期和消融期,其中在消融期中又划分出植物生长季(5—9月),并探讨了土壤冻融对年蒸散量的影响。结果表明:研究区2016和2017年的降水量分别为451.8 mm和442.3 mm,但2017年ET为485.6 mm,明显高于2016年的428.6 mm,两年ET的季节变化趋势相同,ET的最高值出现在生长旺季的7—8月,最低值出现在12月或1月,生长季ET分别占全年ET的73%和72%。2017年的冻结期和冻融交替期比2016年分别减少了8 d,2017年消融期的蒸散量比2016年增加了63.1 mm,其中生长季的蒸散量多36.3 mm。2016和2017年消融期的日蒸散速率分别为1.81 mm/d和1.97 mm/d,其中生长季为2.05 mm/d和2.29 mm/d,冻融交替期分别为0.9...     

基于树干液流及涡动相关技术的葡萄冠层蒸腾及蒸散发特征研究

针对西北干旱区绿洲经济作物葡萄树冠层蒸腾及蒸散发特征的相关问题,在甘肃省敦煌市南湖绿洲开展无核白葡萄树液流速率及蒸散发观测试验,采用基于热平衡原理的包裹式茎流计,详细分析了典型生长季7—9月份葡萄树蒸腾耗水规律,使用\"单位叶面积上的平均液流速率SF×叶面积指数LAI\"的方法,实现了从单株到林分冠层蒸腾的尺度扩展,并通过与涡动相关技术所测蒸散发数据对比,详细研究了葡萄地冠层蒸腾及蒸散发规律。结果表明:典型生长季中葡萄树液流速率日变化为单峰型曲线,日均耗水量从2.76 kg到10 kg不等,胸径越大的葡萄树日均耗水量越大;冠层蒸腾及蒸散发日变化曲线亦为单峰型,白天8:00—12:00与17:00—20:00期间,葡萄冠层蒸腾与蒸散发曲线均比较吻合,该时间段葡萄地蒸散发绝大部分来源于葡萄冠层蒸腾,而12:00—17:00之间由于午后太阳辐射强烈土壤蒸发量增加,葡萄蒸散发大于冠层蒸腾;典型生长季3个月中,葡萄冠层蒸腾量的变化范围在1.88—8.12 mm/d之间,日均冠层蒸腾量为6.12 mm/d,蒸散发在1.74 mm/d至10.78 mm/d之间,日均蒸散发量为7.13 mm/d;日均土壤蒸发量约为1.01 mm/d,只占总蒸散发量的14.2%,日均冠层蒸腾占日均蒸散发的比重达到85.8%,说明该生长阶段冠层蒸散发以作物蒸腾为主。     

Radon fluxes in tropical forest ecosystems of Brazilian Amazonia: night-time CO2 net ecosystem exchange derived from radon and eddy covariance methods

Radon‐222 (Rn‐222) is used as a transport tracer of forest canopy–atmosphere CO₂ exchange in an old‐growth, tropical rain forest site near km 67 of the Tapajós National Forest, Pará, Brazil. Initial results, from month‐long periods at the end of the wet season (June–July) and the end of the dry season (November–December) in 2001, demonstrate the potential of new Rn measurement instruments and methods to quantify mass transport processes between forest canopies and the atmosphere. Gas exchange rates yield mean canopy air residence times ranging from minutes during turbulent daytime hours to greater than 12 h during calm nights. Rn is an effective tracer for net ecosystem exchange of CO₂ (CO₂ NEE) during calm, night‐time hours when eddy covariance‐based NEE measurements are less certain because of low atmospheric turbulence. Rn‐derived night‐time CO₂ NEE (9.00±0.99 μmol m^?2 s^?1 in the wet season, 6.39±0.59 in the dry season) was significantly higher than raw uncorrected, eddy covariance‐derived CO₂ NEE (5.96±0.51 wet season, 5.57±0.53 dry season), but agrees with corrected eddy covariance results (8.65±1.07 wet season, 6.56±0.73 dry season) derived by filtering out lower NEE values obtained during calm periods using independent meteorological criteria. The Rn CO₂ results suggest that uncorrected eddy covariance values underestimate night‐time CO₂ loss at this site. If generalizable to other sites, these observations indicate that previous reports of strong net CO₂ uptake in Amazonian terra firme forest may be overestimated.     

Combining meteorology, eddy fluxes, isotope measurements, and modeling to understand environmental controls of carbon isotope discrimination at the canopy scale

Estimates of terrestrial carbon isotope discrimination are useful to quantify the terrestrial carbon sink. Carbon isotope discrimination by terrestrial ecosystems may vary on seasonal and interannual time frames, because it is affected by processes (e.g. photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and respiration) that respond to variable environmental conditions (e.g. air humidity, temperature, light). In this study, we report simulations of the temporal variability of canopy‐scale C₃ photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination obtained with an ecophysiologically based model (ISOLSM) designed for inclusion in global models. ISOLSM was driven by half‐hourly meteorology, and parameterized with eddy covariance measurements of carbon and energy fluxes and foliar carbon isotope ratios from a pine forest in Metolius (OR). Comparing simulated carbon and energy fluxes with observations provided a range of parameter values that optimized the simulated fluxes. We found that the sensitivity of photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination to the slope of the stomatal conductance equation (m, Ball–Berry constant) provided an additional constraint to the model, reducing the wide parameter space obtained from the fluxes alone. We selected values of m that resulted in similar simulated long‐term discrimination as foliar isotope ratios measured at the site. The model was tested with ¹³C measurements of ecosystem (δ_R) and foliar (δ_f) respiration. The daily variability of simulated ¹³C values of assimilated carbon (δ_A) was similar to that of observed δ_f, and higher than that of observed and simulated δ_R. We also found similar relationships between environmental factors (i.e. vapor pressure deficit) and simulated δ_R as measured in ecosystem surveys of δ_R. Therefore, ISOLSM reasonably simulated the short‐term variability of δ_A controlled by atmospheric conditions at the canopy scale, which can be useful to estimate the variability of terrestrial isotope discrimination. Our study also shows that including the capacity to simulate carbon isotope discrimination, together with simple ecosystem isotope measurements, can provide a useful constraint to land surface and carbon balance models.     

Analyzing the Ecosystem Carbon Dynamics of Four European Coniferous Forests Using a Biogeochemistry Model

This paper provides the first steps toward a regional-scale analysis of carbon (C) budgets. We explore the ability of the ecosystem model BIOME-BGC to estimate the daily and annual C dynamics of four European coniferous forests and shifts in these dynamics in response to changing environmental conditions. We estimate uncertainties in the model results that arise from incomplete knowledge of site management history (for example, successional stage of forest). These uncertainties are especially relevant in regional-scale simulations, because this type of information is difficult to obtain. Although the model predicted daily C and water fluxes reasonably well at all sites, it seemed to have a better predictive capacity for the photosynthesis-related processes than for respiration. Leaf area index (LAI) was modeled accurately at two sites but overestimated at two others (as a result of poor long-term climate drivers and uncertainties in model parameterization). The overestimation of LAI (and consequently gross photosynthetic production (GPP)), in combination with reasonable estimates of the daily net ecosystem productivity (NEP) of those forests, also illustrates the problem with modeled respiration. The model results suggest that all four European forests have been net sinks of C at the rate of 100–300 gC/m²/y and that this C sequestration capacity would be 30%–70% lower without increasing nitrogen (N) deposition and carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations. The magnitude of the forest responses was dependent not only on the rate of changes in environmental factors, but also on site-specific conditions such as climate and soil depth. We estimated that the modeled C exchange at the study sites was reduced by 50%–100% when model simulations were performed for climax forests rather than regrowing forests. The estimates of water fluxes were less sensitive to different initializations of state variables or environmental change scenarios than C fluxes.     

Evapotranspiration at the land/water interface in a semi-arid drainage basin

1. Evapotranspiration (ET) is a major source of water depletion from riverine systems in arid and semiarid climates. Water budgets have produced estimates of total depletions from riparian vegetation ET for a 320‐km reach of the Middle Rio Grande, New Mexico, U.S.A., that have ranged from 20 to 50% of total depletions from the river. 2. Tower‐based micrometeorological measurements of riparian zone ET throughout the growing season using three‐dimensional eddy covariance provided high quality estimates of ET at the stand scale. 3. A dense stand of salt cedar (111–122 cm year^–1) and a mature cottonwood (Populus deltoides ssp. wislizenia Eckenwelder) stand with an extensive understory of salt cedar (Tamaria ramosissima Ledeb) and Russian olive (Eleagnus angustifolia L.) (123 cm year^–1) had the highest rates of annual ET. A mature cottonwood stand with a closed canopy had intermediate rates of ET (98 cm year^–1). A less dense salt cedar stand had the lowest rates of ET (74–76 cm year^–1). 4. Summer leaf area index (LAI) measurements within the four stands were positively correlated with daily ET rates. LAI measurements throughout the growing season coupled to riparian vegetation classification is a promising method for improving riverine corridor estimates of total annual riparian zone ET along a reach of river. 5. Combining recent estimates of the extent of riparian vegetation along the 320 km length of the Middle Rio Grande, from Landsat 7 imagery with annual growing season measurements of ET at the four riparian stands yields a first‐order riverine corridor estimate of total riparian zone ET of 150–250 × 10⁶ m³ year^–1. This is approximately 20–33% of total estimated depletions along this reach of river.     

仪器的加热效应校正对生态系统碳水通量估算的影响

涡度相关技术的广泛应用为获取生态系统碳、水通量提供了可能,但在开路式涡度相关系统中,仪器的加热效应增大了观测数据的不确定性。为了衡量仪器的加热效应,以ChinaFLUX3个典型生态系统(长白山温带针阔混交林(CBS)、海北灌丛草甸(HBGC)、鼎湖山亚热带常绿阔叶林(DHS))为研究对象,就仪器的加热效应校正对碳、水通量估算的影响进行分析。结果表明:加热校正没有改变生态系统的能量闭合特征,也没有对水汽通量的估算产生影响,但显著减小了CBS和HBGC非生长季的净生态系统生产力(NEP),进而减少了NEP的年总量,对DHS没有显著影响。NEP减小幅度受到温度的强烈影响,CBS为7.7%～10.4%,远小于HBGC的76.6%～85.2%,HBGC的NEP大幅降低主要是由夜间NEP的改变导致生态系统呼吸(RE)的增大而引起。因而,在温带生态系统中,充分考虑加热校正对于准确估算生态系统的碳收支具有重要作用。     

Modelling advection and diffusion of water isotopologues in leaves

We described advection and diffusion of water isotopologues in leaves in the non-steady state, applied specifically to amphistomatous leaves. This explains the isotopic enrichment of leaf water from the xylem to the mesophyll, and we showed how it relates to earlier models of leaf water enrichment in non-steady state. The effective length or tortuosity factor of isotopologue movement in leaves is unknown and, therefore, is a fitted parameter in the model. We compared the advection-diffusion model to previously published data sets for Lupinus angustifolius and Eucalyptus globulus. Night-time stomatal conductance was not measured in either data set and is therefore another fitted parameter. The model compared very well with the observations of bulk mesophyll water during the whole diel cycle. It compared well with the enrichment at the evaporative sites during the day but showed some deviations at night for E. globulus. It became clear from our analysis that night-time stomatal conductance should be measured in the future and that the temperature dependence of the tracer diffusivities should be accounted for. However, varying mesophyll water volume did not seem critical for obtaining a good prediction of leaf water enrichment, at least in our data sets. In addition, observations of single diurnal cycles do not seem to constrain the effective length that relates to the tortuosity of the water path in the mesophyll. Finally, we showed when simpler models of leaf water enrichment were suitable for applications of leaf water isotopes once weighted with the appropriate gas exchange flux. We showed that taking an unsuitable leaf water enrichment model could lead to large biases when cumulated over only 1 day.
