油茶是中国南方重要的木本食用油料树种,研究施肥对油茶园土壤呼吸及其温度敏感性的影响,对于估算中国南方典型种植园林温室气体排放及其对气候变化的响应具有重要意义。设置对照(CK)、施肥(OF)、断根(CK-T)和断根施肥(OF-T)4个处理,采用静态箱-气相色谱法,通过多年观测,分析探讨施肥对油茶园土壤呼吸和异养呼吸及其温度敏感性的影响。结果表明:(1)施肥对油茶园土壤呼吸和异养呼吸无显著影响。研究期间,各处理(OF、CK、OF-T、CK-T)土壤CO_2通量依次为(77.91±2.59)、(73.71±0.97)、(66.82±1.02)mg C m~(-2)h~(-1)和(66.84±3.94)mg C m~(-2)h~(-1);(2)各处理土壤呼吸温度敏感性(Q_(10))表现为OF-T(1.96±0.01)CK-T(1.79±0.03)OF(1.77±0.01)CK(1.75±0.03),其中,OF-T处理下Q_(10)显著高于其他3个处理,即施肥显著增加了断根处理土壤呼吸Q_(10);(3)施肥显著增加了土壤表层NH_4~+-N和NO_3~--N含量,Q_(10)与土壤表层NH_4~+-N和NO_3~--N含量表现出显著的正相关关系。     

Differential responses of auto‐ and heterotrophic soil respiration to water and nitrogen addition in a semiarid temperate steppe

Evaluating how autotrophic (SR_A), heterotrophic (SR_H) and total soil respiration (SR_TOT) respond differently to changes of environmental factors is critical to get an understanding of ecosystem carbon (C) cycling and its feedback processes to climate change. A field experiment was conducted to examine the responses of SR_A and SR_H to water and nitrogen (N) addition in a temperate steppe in northern China during two hydrologically contrasting growing seasons. Water addition stimulated SR_A and SR_H in both years, and their increases were significantly greater in a dry year (2007) than in a wet year (2006). N addition increased SR_A in 2006 but not in 2007, while it decreased SR_H in both years, leading to a positive response of SR_TOT in 2006 but a negative one in 2007. The different responses of SR_A and SR_H indicate that it will be uncertain to predict soil C storage if SR_TOT is used instead of SR_H to estimate variations in soil C storage. Overall, N addition is likely to enhance soil C storage, while the impacts of water addition are determined by its relative effects on carbon input (plant growth) and SR_H. Antecedent water conditions played an important role in controlling responses of SR_A, SR_H and the consequent SR_TOT to water and N addition. Our findings highlight the predominance of hydrological conditions in regulating the responses of C cycling to global change in the semiarid temperate steppe of northern China.     

Carbon losses due to soil warming: Do autotrophic and heterotrophic soil respiration respond equally?

Global warming has the potential to increase soil respiration (R_S), one of the major fluxes in the global carbon (C) cycle. R_S consists of an autotrophic (R_A) and a heterotrophic (R_H) component. We combined a soil warming experiment with a trenching experiment to assess how R_S, R_A, and R_H are affected. The experiment was conducted in a mature forest dominated by Norway spruce. The site is located in the Austrian Alps on dolomitic bedrock. We warmed the soil of undisturbed and trenched plots by means of heating cables 4 °C above ambient during the snow‐free seasons of 2005 and 2006. Soil warming increased the CO₂ efflux from control plots (R_S) by ∼45% during 2005 and ∼47% during 2006. The CO₂ efflux from trenched plots (R_H) increased by ∼39% during 2005 and ∼45% during 2006. Similar responses of R_S and R_H indicated that the autotrophic and heterotrophic components of R_S responded equally to the temperature increase. Thirty‐five to forty percent or 1 t C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ of the overall annual increase in R_S (2.8 t C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹) was autotrophic. The remaining, heterotrophic part of soil respiration (1.8 t C ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹), represented the warming‐induced C loss from the soil. The autotrophic component showed a distinct seasonal pattern. Contribution of R_A to R_S was highest during summer. Seasonally derived Q₁₀ values reflected this pattern and were correspondingly high (5.3–9.3). The autotrophic CO₂ efflux increase due to the 4 °C warming implied a Q₁₀ of 2.9. Hence, seasonally derived Q₁₀ of R_A did not solely reflect the seasonal soil temperature development.     

Thermal adaptation of heterotrophic soil respiration in laboratory microcosms

Respiration of heterotrophic microorganisms decomposing soil organic carbon releases carbon dioxide from soils to the atmosphere. In the short term, soil microbial respiration is strongly dependent on temperature. In the long term, the response of heterotrophic soil respiration to temperature is uncertain. However, following established evolutionary trade‐offs, mass‐specific respiration (R_mass) rates of heterotrophic soil microbes should decrease in response to sustained increases in temperature (and vice‐versa). Using a laboratory microcosm approach, we tested the potential for the R_mass of the microbial biomass in six different soils to adapt to three, experimentally imposed, thermal regimes (constant 10, 20 or 30 °C). To determine R_mass rates of the heterotrophic soil microbial biomass across the temperature range of the imposed thermal regimes, we periodically assayed soil subsamples using similar approaches to those used in plant, animal and microbial thermal adaptation studies. As would be expected given trade‐offs between maximum catalytic rates and the stability of the binding structure of enzymes, after 77 days of incubation R_mass rates across the range of assay temperatures were greatest for the 10 °C experimentally incubated soils and lowest for the 30 °C soils, with the 20 °C incubated soils intermediate. The relative magnitude of the difference in R_mass rates between the different incubation temperature treatments was unaffected by assay temperature, suggesting that maximum activities and not Q₁₀ were the characteristics involved in thermal adaptation. The time taken for changes in R_mass to manifest (77 days) suggests they likely resulted from population or species shifts during the experimental incubations; we discuss alternate mechanistic explanations for those results we observed. A future research priority is to evaluate the role that thermal adaptation plays in regulating heterotrophic respiration rates from field soils in response to changing temperature, whether seasonally or through climate change.     

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。     

内蒙古克氏针茅草原土壤异养呼吸对土壤温度和水分变化的响应

土壤异养呼吸在野外自然条件下除受温湿度影响外, 还受其他多种因子的综合影响, 很难利用野外观测数据确定土壤异养呼吸对温湿度变化的响应方程形式, 以及温湿度间是否存在交互作用。该研究在严格控制温湿度的条件下对内蒙古克氏针茅(Stipa krylovii)(西北针茅(Stipa sareptana var. krylovii))草原土样进行室内培养实验, 旨在解决上述问题。该研究的正交实验包括5个温度梯度(9、14、22、30、40 ℃)和5个湿度梯度(土壤持水力(water holding capacity, WHC)分别为20%、40%、60%、80%、100%)。室内培养实验持续71天, 土壤异养呼吸速率测定为2天(后期为1周)一次, 土壤可溶性有机碳和微生物生物量碳含量测定约为18天一次。研究结果显示: 土壤异养呼吸与温度呈显著正相关(p < 0.001)且温度间差异显著(p = 0.001), 呼吸温度敏感性(Q₁₀)与土壤水分含量呈正相关(p < 0.001); 呼吸与土壤水分二项式拟合效果较好, 在80% WHC时呼吸速率最大, 且最适湿度随温度上升而增加。土壤温度和水分的交互作用显著(p < 0.05), 土壤异养呼吸最适响应方程为lnRh = 0.914 + 0.098T + 0.046M + 0.001TM - 0.002T² - 0.001M² (Rh为异养呼吸, T为温度, M为湿度), 这说明加和形式的温湿度响应模型可能优于乘积形式。微生物生物量碳与土壤异养呼吸的相关性随培养时间发生变化, 土壤可溶性有机碳与土壤异养呼吸无显著相关(培养第20天除外), 原因可能是培养期间微生物死亡或群落结构改变导致微生物总体代谢活性的变化。     

增温和刈割对高寒草甸土壤呼吸及其组分的影响

Rhizospheric and heterotrophic components of soil respiration in six Chinese temperate forests

Partitioning soil respiration (R_S) into heterotrophic (R_H) and rhizospheric (R_R) components is an important step for understanding and modeling carbon cycling in forest ecosystems, but few studies on R_R and R_H exist in Chinese temperate forests. In this study, we used a trenching plot approach to partition R_S in six temperate forests in northeastern China. Our specific objectives were to (1) examine seasonal patterns of soil surface CO₂ fluxes from trenched (R_T) and untrenched plots (R_UT) of these forests; (2) quantify annual fluxes of R_S components and their relative contributions in the forest ecosystems; and (3) examine effects of plot trenching on measurements of R_S and related environmental factors. The R_T maximized in early growing season, but the difference between R_UT and R_T peaked in later summer. The annual fluxes of R_H and R_R varied with forest types. The estimated values of R_H for the Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.), Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.), aspen‐birch (Populous davidiana Dode and Betula platyphylla Suk.), hardwood (Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr., Juglans mandshurica Maxim. and Phellodendron amurense Rupr.), Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica Fisch.) and mixed deciduous (no dominant tree species) forests averaged 89, 196, 187, 245, 261 and 301 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹, respectively; those of R_R averaged 424, 209, 628, 538, 524 and 483 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹, correspondingly; calculated contribution of R_R to R_S (RC) varied from 52% in the larch forest to 83% in the pine forest. The annual flux of R_R was strongly correlated to biomass of roots <0.5 cm in diameter, while that of R_H was weakly correlated to soil organic carbon concentration at A horizon. We concluded that vegetation type and associated carbon metabolisms of temperate forests should be considered in assessing and modeling R_S components. The significant impacts of changed soil physical environments and substrate availability by plot trenching should be appropriately tackled in analyzing and interpreting measurements of R_S components.     

Indirect partitioning of soil respiration in a series of evergreen forest ecosystems

A simple estimation of heterotrophic respiration can be obtained analytically as the y-intercept of the linear regression between soil-surface CO₂ efflux and root biomass. In the present study, a development of this indirect methodology is presented by taking into consideration both the temporal variation and the spatial heterogeneity of heterotrophic respiration. For this purpose, soil CO₂ efflux, soil carbon content and main stand characteristics were estimated in seven evergreen forest ecosystems along an elevation gradient ranging from 250 to 1740 m. For each site and for each sampling date the measured soil CO₂ efflux (R _S) was predicted with the model R _S = a × S _C + b × R _D ± ε, where S _C is soil carbon content per unit area to a depth of 30 cm and R _D is the root density of the 2–5 mm root class. Regressions with statistically significant a and b coefficients allowed the indirect separation of the two components of soil CO₂ efflux. Considering that the different sampling dates were characterized by different soil temperature, it was possible to investigate the temporal and thermal dependency of autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration. It was estimated that annual autotrophic respiration accounts for 16–58% of total soil CO₂ efflux in the seven different evergreen ecosystems. In addition, our observations show a decrease of annual autotrophic respiration at increasing availability of soil nitrogen. Section Editor: A. Hodge     

土壤呼吸温度敏感性的影响因素和不确定性

土壤呼吸是陆地生态系统碳循环的重要环节之一, 其对温度升高的敏感程度在很大程度上决定着全球气候变化与碳循环之间的反馈关系。为了深刻理解地下生态过程对气候变化的响应和适应,本文综述了土壤呼吸温度敏感性（Q10）的影响因子及其内在机制,并分析了当前研究存在的不确定性。土壤生物、底物质量和底物供应显著调控着土壤呼吸的Q10值,但研究结论仍然有很大差异。温度和水分等环境因子则通过对土壤生物和底物的影响而作用于土壤呼吸的温度敏感性,一般情况下,随着温度的升高,土壤呼吸的Q10值下降;水分过高或过低时Q10值降低。另外本文从土壤温度测定深度、时空尺度、土壤呼吸不同组分温度敏感性差异、激发效应以及采用方法的不同等几方面分析了温度敏感性研究存在的不确定性。并在此基础上, 指出了未来拟重点加强的研究方向:（1）土壤呼吸不同组分温度敏感性差异的机理;（2）底物质量和底物供应对温度敏感性的交互影响;（3）生物因子对土壤呼吸温度敏感性的影响。     

土壤异养呼吸的测定及其温度敏感性影响因子

土壤异养呼吸主要指土壤中微生物分解有机质释放CO2的过程,是陆地生态系统中土壤碳的主要净输出途径,土壤异养呼吸与净初级生产力的差值是决定生态系统碳源/汇的关键.本文介绍了土壤异养呼吸的测定方法--室内培养的去根土壤样品培养和原状土柱培养,以及野外原位测定的根排除法、环割法和同位素法等操作方法的优缺点以及适用范围.在土壤异养呼吸的研究方面,土壤异养呼吸温度敏感性(Q10)是碳循环研究的重要方面之一,温度、水分以及土壤呼吸底物是影响Q10的主要因子,一般情况下,随着温度的升高,Q10下降;土壤含水量过低或过高时,Q10降低;土壤有机碳的有效性影响着土壤异养呼吸对温度变化的响应程度,当有效性降低时Q10下降,不同周转时间的有机碳的温度敏感性也不相同,活性有机碳的温度敏感性较惰性有机碳的温度敏感性低.     

Partitioning the components of soil respiration: a research challenge

Little is known about the respiratory components of CO₂ emitted from soils and attaining a reliable quantification of the contribution of root respiration remains one of the major challenges facing ecosystem research. Resolving this would provide major advances in our ability to predict ecosystem responses to climate change. The merits and technical and theoretical difficulties associated with different approaches adopted for partitioning respiration components are discussed here. The way forward is suggested to be the development of non-invasive regression analysis validated by stable isotope approaches to increase the sensitivity of model functions to include components of rhizosphere microbial activity, changing root biomass and the dynamics of a wide range of soil C pools.

The use of soil respiration as an ecological indicator in arid ecosystems of the SE of Spain: Spatial variability and controlling factors

In the context of an ongoing monitoring study of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park (SE of Spain), we explored the use of soil respiration as an indicator of ecosystem functioning reflecting changes in ecological processes in semiarid environments. With this purpose, we measured soil CO₂ efflux in six different and representative ecosystems of the Natural Park, with different land uses (forest and agricultural sites) and under different soil covers (under plant and bare soil) in two distinctive periods of the year: summer (dry period) and spring (growing season). We also measured the main soil properties and environmental variables. Soil CO₂ efflux ranged from 0.40 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ in the dry period to 1.93 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ in the growing season. Soil CO₂ efflux showed a large spatial variability, with different behaviour between the measured periods. Whereas in the dry period differences among ecosystems were larger (CVs 75-80%) than within them (CVs 40-55%), in the growing season the CVs were smaller (40-50%) and no differences were observed between or within ecosystem. The factors controlling soil CO₂ efflux also differed in the two measurement occasions. Whereas in the dry period soil CO₂ efflux was mainly the result of transport processes in the soil and therefore related to local factors (OC content, CN ratio, clay, rock outcrop, etc.) assigned to ecosystem conditions, in the growing season soil CO₂ efflux was dominated by soil CO₂ production and thus related only to organic carbon content and plant cover. In the growing season environmental variables explained ca. 10% of the variation in soil CO₂ efflux. In order to capture these different processes in different times of the year, i.e., diffusion versus production processes we calculated a new index, normalised seasonal difference in soil respiration (SDSR), which is proposed as a good indicator of the state and functioning of the ecosystem.     

Responses of soil heterotrophic respiration to changes in soil temperature and moisture in a Stipa krylovii grassland in Nei Mongol

土壤异养呼吸在野外自然条件下除受温湿度影响外, 还受其他多种因子的综合影响, 很难利用野外观测数据确定土壤异养呼吸对温湿度变化的响应方程形式, 以及温湿度间是否存在交互作用。该研究在严格控制温湿度的条件下对内蒙古克氏针茅(Stipa krylovii)(西北针茅(Stipa sareptana var. krylovii))草原土样进行室内培养实验, 旨在解决上述问题。该研究的正交实验包括5个温度梯度(9、14、22、30、40 ℃)和5个湿度梯度(土壤持水力(water holding capacity, WHC)分别为20%、40%、60%、80%、100%)。室内培养实验持续71天, 土壤异养呼吸速率测定为2天(后期为1周)一次, 土壤可溶性有机碳和微生物生物量碳含量测定约为18天一次。研究结果显示: 土壤异养呼吸与温度呈显著正相关(p < 0.001)且温度间差异显著(p = 0.001), 呼吸温度敏感性(Q₁₀)与土壤水分含量呈正相关(p < 0.001); 呼吸与土壤水分二项式拟合效果较好, 在80% WHC时呼吸速率最大, 且最适湿度随温度上升而增加。土壤温度和水分的交互作用显著(p < 0.05), 土壤异养呼吸最适响应方程为lnRh = 0.914 + 0.098T + 0.046M + 0.001TM - 0.002T² - 0.001M² (Rh为异养呼吸, T为温度, M为湿度), 这说明加和形式的温湿度响应模型可能优于乘积形式。微生物生物量碳与土壤异养呼吸的相关性随培养时间发生变化, 土壤可溶性有机碳与土壤异养呼吸无显著相关(培养第20天除外), 原因可能是培养期间微生物死亡或群落结构改变导致微生物总体代谢活性的变化。     

施氮对青藏高原东缘窄叶鲜卑花灌丛土壤呼吸的影响

开展土壤呼吸对大气氮沉降增加的响应研究对预测陆地生态系统碳循环具有重要意义。采用外施氮肥模拟氮沉降,结合壕沟法分离土壤呼吸组分,研究青藏高原东缘主要的灌丛类型——窄叶鲜卑花(Sibiraea angustata)灌丛土壤呼吸对不同施氮水平(N0(对照)、N2、N5和N10分别相当于0、2、5和10 g N m-2a-1浓度的氮沉降)的短期响应。结果表明:试验期间(2012年5—10月份),(1)土壤呼吸呈现明显的季节变化,施氮对生长季土壤总呼吸、异养呼吸无显著影响,而对自养呼吸有显著的抑制作用(P0.05)。(2)土壤呼吸也存在显著的日变化,施氮对一天中土壤总呼吸及其组分均有显著影响(P0.001)。总体上,施氮促进了土壤总呼吸、异养呼吸,而抑制了自养呼吸。(3)施氮对土壤总呼吸、异养呼吸平均每月排放CO2通量无显著影响,而对自养呼吸平均每月排放CO2通量有显著的抑制作用(P0.05),并在不同月份对土壤呼吸及其组分的影响不同。(4)土壤总呼吸、异养呼吸与地下5 cm土壤温度之间具有较好的指数关系(P0.001),而与土壤含水量相关性较弱。关于土壤呼吸各组分对大气氮沉降响应差异的机理有待进一步研究。     

Partitioning of soil respiration components and evaluating the mycorrhizal contribution to soil respiration in a semiarid grassland

土壤呼吸组分的区分对于理解地下碳循环过程非常重要。而菌根真菌在地下碳循环过程中扮演着重要的角色, 但是有关菌根呼吸在草原生态系统中的研究相对较少。该研究在内蒙古半干旱草原应用深浅环网孔法, 结合浅环、深环(排除根系)和一个带有40 μm孔径窗口的土壤环(排除根系但是有菌根菌丝体)将根和菌丝物理分离, 来区分不同的呼吸组分。结果表明: 异养呼吸对总呼吸的贡献比例为51%, 根呼吸的贡献比例为26%, 菌根呼吸的贡献比例为23%, 菌根呼吸的比例3年变化范围为21%-26%。与国内外研究相比, 此方法提供了一个相对稳定的菌根呼吸测量精度范围, 在草原生态系统中切实可行。对菌根呼吸的准确定量将有助于预测草原生态系统土壤碳释放过程对未来气候变化的响应。

土壤温度和水分对长白山不同森林类型土壤呼吸的影响

在实验室条件下,将不同含水量的3种森林类型的土柱分别置于0、5、15、25和35℃条件下,进行土壤呼吸测定．结果表明,在0～35℃范围内。土壤呼吸速率与温度呈正相关．在一定含水量范围内(0．21～0．37kg·kg^-1),土壤呼吸随含水量的增加而升高,当含水量超出该范围,土壤呼吸速率则随含水量的变化而降低．土壤温度和水分对土壤呼吸作用存在明显的交互作用．不同森林类型土壤呼吸作用强弱存在显著差异,大小顺序为阔叶红松林>岳桦林>云冷杉暗针叶林．阔叶红松林土壤呼吸作用的最佳条件是土壤温度35℃、含水量0．37kg·kg^-1;云冷杉暗针叶林下的山地棕色针叶林土壤呼吸作用的最佳条件是25℃、0．21kg·kg^-1;岳桦林土壤呼吸作用的最佳条件是35℃、含水量0．37kg·kg^-1。但是．由于长白山阔叶红松林、云冷杉林和岳桦林处在不同的海拔带上,同期不同森林类型土壤温度各不相同,相差4～5℃,所以野外所测的同期山地棕色针叶林土呼吸速率应低于暗棕色森林土呼吸速率,山地生草森林土呼吸速率应高于山地棕色针叶林土的呼吸速率．
