辽西樟子松人工林净生态系统碳交换

樟子松是三北地区造林的主要树种之一,研究樟子松人工林净生态系统碳交换(NEE)及其影响要素对理解我国人工林碳平衡有重要意义。本研究以辽西樟子松人工林为对象,采用涡度相关系统及其配套设备于2020年对樟子松人工林NEE和环境要素进行了原位连续观测。结果表明: 在0.5 h尺度上,1—12月夜间为碳源,白天为碳汇,且受干旱影响5—8月下午碳吸收受到明显抑制。在日尺度上,受干旱影响,控制夜间NEE季节动态的主要要素为土壤温度和土壤湿度,控制白天NEE季节动态的主要要素为土壤湿度和饱和水汽压差;土壤干旱时降水可促进夜间和白天NEE,并导致光合呼吸参数升高。在月尺度上,白天NEE与表观量子利用效率和最大光合速率均呈显著负相关,当空气温度小于5 ℃时,10 ℃生态系统呼吸和生态系统呼吸温度敏感性随空气温度降低而呈线性增加。2020年辽西樟子松人工林NEE积累量为-145.17 g C·m^-2,表现为弱碳汇。     

极端干旱条件下锡林河流域羊草草原净生态系统碳交换特征

采用涡度相关法对2005年生长季内蒙古锡林河流域羊草(Leymus chinensis)草原净生态系统交换(Net ecosystem exchange, NEE)进行了观测。观测结果表明:作为生长季降雨量仅有126 mm的干旱年,锡林河流域羊草草原生态系统受到强烈的干旱胁迫,其净生态系统碳交换的日动态表现为具有两个吸收高峰,净吸收峰值出现在8∶00和18∶00左右。最大的CO₂吸收率为-0.38 mg CO₂·m^-2·s^-1,出现在6月底,与丰水年相比生态系统最大CO₂吸收率下降了1倍。就整个生长季而言,不管是白天还是晚上2005年都表现为净CO₂排放,整个生长季CO₂净排放量为372.56 g CO₂·m^-2,是一个明显的CO₂源。土壤含水量和土壤温度控制着生态系统CO₂通量的大小,尤其是在白天,CO₂通量和土壤含水量的变化呈现出显著的负相关关系,和土壤温度表现为正相关关系。     

盐生荒漠净生态系统碳交换的涡度相关法和箱式法对比

将叶面积指数的季节动态,与箱式法同步观测得到的同化枝净光合（呼吸）速率和土壤呼吸速率相结合,对群落碳交换进行估算,并以此验证盐生荒漠涡度相关数据的可靠性。结果表明:盐生荒漠生态系统年叶片生物量为51.30±5.56 g·m^-2,其中90.45%以上来源于多枝柽柳的贡献;而整个生长季,群落叶面积指数（LAI）呈单峰形式变化,从5月30日—9月30日,LAI介于0.18⁰.30,并在第197天达到最大值。涡度相关法和箱式法对群落碳交换的测定结果表明,群落碳交换存在显著的季节变化,并于7月中旬达到碳同化峰值,与LAI有显著的相关性（P<0.001）。对比发现,两种测量方法对群落碳交换日过程的测定结果有很好的一致性,但对夜间生态系统呼吸的测定,涡度相关法较箱式法存在略微的低估,引起这种低估的原因可能是夜间湍流较弱。     

华北低丘山地人工林生态系统净碳交换与气象因子的关系

植树造林使我国森林碳储量显著增加,人工林潜在的碳汇功能不容忽视.基于涡度相关技术,对华北低丘山地30年生栓皮栎-刺槐-侧柏人工混交林生态系统进行了连续2a的碳通量观测,以探讨净碳交换(NEE)与气象因子的关系.结果表明:在主要生长季(4～9月份),夜间日平均NEE(生态系统呼吸)随气温升高呈指数增长(P<0.01).2006年和2007年生态系统呼吸的温度敏感系数(Q_(10))分别为1.92和1.86.气温在10℃以下时,NEE日总量较小.气温超过10℃后,人工林以净吸收大气CO_2为主,且日吸收量随温度升高迅速增加.白天净碳吸收量随光合有效辐射(PAR)增加而增大(P<0.01),可由直角双曲线方程描述;不过,当饱和差(VPD)小于1.0 kPa时,二者呈线性相关(P<0.01).2006年和2007年主要生长季(4～9月份)的平均表观初始光能利用率(α)分别为0.032和0.019,平均最大光合速率(P_(max))分别为0.96mg · m~(-2) · s~(-1)和1.10 mg · m~(-2) · s~(-1).α和P_(max)都存在季节变化.在月尺度,P_(max)与VPD和PAR呈明显的负相关关系(分别为P<0.01和P<0.05),但与气温相关性不显著;α与对应的PAR、气温和VPD均无明显相关关系.

开垦对黄河三角洲湿地净生态系统CO2交换的影响

近年来, 由于对湿地的不合理利用, 自然湿地被大面积地垦殖为农田, 导致湿地生态系统碳循环的模式发生改变, 从而影响了湿地生态系统碳汇功能。该研究通过涡度相关法, 对山东省东营市黄河三角洲芦苇(Phragmites australis)湿地和开垦多年的棉花(Gossypium spp.)农田的净生态系统CO₂交换(NEE)进行了对比观测, 以探讨该地区典型生态系统NEE的变化规律及其影响因子, 揭示开垦对芦苇湿地NEE和碳汇功能的影响。结果表明: 在生长季, 湿地和农田生态系统NEE的日平均值各月均呈明显的“U”型变化曲线, 非生长季NEE的变幅很小。生长季湿地生态系统日最大净吸收值和释放值分别为16.04 g CO₂·m^-2·d^-1(8月17日)和14.95 g CO₂·m^-2·d^-1(8月9日); 农田生态系统日最大净吸收值和释放值分别为18.99 g CO₂·m^-2·d^-1 (8月22日)和12.23 g CO₂·m^-2·d^-1 (7月29日)。生长季白天两个生态系统NEE与光合有效辐射(PAR)之间呈直角双曲线关系; 非生长季NEE主要受土壤温度(T_s)的影响; 生态系统生长季夜间NEE受T_s和土壤含水量(SWC)的共同影响; 湿地和农田的生态系统呼吸熵(Q₁₀)分别为2.30和3.78。2011年生长季, 黄河三角洲湿地和农田生态系统均表现为CO₂的汇, 总净固碳量分别为780.95和647.35 g CO₂·m^-2, 开垦降低了湿地的碳吸收能力; 而在2011年非生长季, 黄河三角洲湿地和农田生态系统均表现为CO₂的源, CO₂总释放量分别为181.90和111.55 g CO₂·m^-2。全年湿地和农田生态系统总净固碳量分别为599.05和535.80 g CO₂·m^-2。

鼎湖山针阔叶混交林生态系统呼吸及其影响因子

精确估算典型森林生态系统呼吸(Reco)对评价生态系统碳平衡具有重要意义。采用开路涡度相关法对鼎湖山针阔叶混交林Reco进行定位测定,根据2003~2004年数据采用多种呼吸模型对Reco进行估算并分析Reco对环境要素的响应特征,结果表明:(1)Reco受土壤温度、湿度和冠层气温、相对湿度共同影响,Reco对环境因子的响应模式存在季节性差异,总体上土壤温度是驱动Reco的主要因子。(2)描述Reco与温度因子的关系模式中,指数方程、Van’tHoff方程、Arrhenius方程和Lloyd-Talor方程,统计意义上具有同等的能力,从温度敏感性指标Q10看,Lloyd-Talor方程比其他方程更适合于描述Reco对温度的响应特征。(3)由土壤温度(Ts)和土壤含水量(Ms)驱动的连乘耦合模型,能综合反映Ts、Ms对Reco的协同作用。在Ms较高时段,连乘模型模拟的Reco高于Tloyd-Taylor方程,而在Ms较低时段连乘模型的结果低于Tloyd-Taylor方程,但二者没有统计意义上的显著差异。(4)鼎湖山混交林2003年Reco年总量,基于白天涡度相关通量观测资料的模型估算结果为1100~1135.6gCm-2a-1,比基于夜间通量资料估算结果(921~975gCm-2a-1)增加12%~25%。采用白天通量资料估算Reco,对克服夜间涡度相关法通量测定结果偏低问题具有积极意义,为进一步可靠评估净生态系统CO2交换(NEE)奠定方法基础。

Net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange over grazed steppe in central Mongolia

This paper presents results of 1 year (from March 25, 2003 to March 24, 2004, 366 days) of continuous measurements of net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) above a steppe in Mongolia using the eddy covariance technique. The steppe, typical of central Mongolia, is dominated by C₃ plants adapted to the continental climate. The following two questions are addressed: (1) how do NEE and its components: gross ecosystem production (GEP) and total ecosystem respiration (R_eco) vary seasonally? (2) how do NEE, GEP, and R_eco respond to biotic and abiotic factors? The hourly minimal NEE and the hourly maximal R_eco were −3.6 and 1.2 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, respectively (negative values denoting net carbon uptake by the canopy from the atmosphere). Peak daily sums of NEE, GEP, and R_eco were −2.3, 3.5, and 1.5 g C m⁻² day⁻¹, respectively. The annual sums of GEP, R_eco, and NEE were 179, 138, and −41 g C m⁻², respectively. The carbon removal by sheep was estimated to range between 10 and 82 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹ using four different approaches. Including these estimates in the overall carbon budget yielded net ecosystem productivity of −23 to +20 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹. Thus, within the remaining experimental uncertainty the carbon budget at this steppe site can be considered to be balanced. For the growing period (from April 23 to October 21, 2003), 26% and 53% of the variation in daily NEE and GEP, respectively, could be explained by the changes in leaf area index. Seasonality of GEP, R_eco, and NEE was closely associated with precipitation, especially in the peak growing season when GEP and R_eco were largest. Water stress was observed in late July to early August, which switched the steppe from a carbon sink to a carbon source. For the entire growing period, the light response curves of daytime NEE showed a rather low apparent quantum yield (α=−0.0047 μmol CO₂ μmol⁻¹ photons of photosynthetically active radiation). However, the α values varied with air temperature (T_a), vapor pressure deficit, and soil water content.     

Ecosystem respiration and its controlling factors in a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in Dinghushan, China

Accurate estimation of ecosystem respiration (R_eco) in forest ecosysteM_s is critical for validating terrestrial carbon models. Continuous eddy covariance measuremenT_s of R_eco were conducted in a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest located in Dinghushan Nature Reserve of southern China. R_eco was estimated and the controlling environmental factors were analyzed based on two years' data from 2003 to 2004. Major resulT_s included that: (1) R_eco was affected by soil temperature, soil moisture, canopy air temperature and humidity, where soil temperature at 5 cm depth was the dominant factor. (2) The exponential equation, Van't Hoff equation, Arrhenius equation and Lyold-Talor equation can be used to describe the relationship between R_eco and temperature factors with similar statistical significance, while Lyold-Talor equation was the most sensitive to the temperature index (Q₁₀). (3) The multiplicative model driven by soil temperature (T_s) and soil moisture (M_s) was more corresponsive to R_eco, which explained that there were more R_eco variations than Lyold-Talor equation, both for higher and lower M_s. However, there was no statistical difference between the two models. (4) Annually accumulated R_eco of the mixed forest in 2003 was estimated as 1100–1135.6 gC m^?2 a^?1 by using daytime data, which was 12%–25% higher than R_eco (921–975 gC m^?2 a^?1) estimated by using nighttime data. The resulT_s suggested that using daytime data to estimate R_eco can avoid the common underestimation problem caused by using eddy covariance methods. The study provides a basic method for further study on accurate estimation of net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) in the coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in southern China.     

Environmental controls on net ecosystem-level carbon exchange and productivity in a Central American tropical wet forest

Difficulty in balancing the global carbon budget has lead to increased attention on tropical forests, which have been estimated to account for up to one third of global gross primary production. Whether tropical forests are sources, sinks, or neutral with respect to their carbon balance with the atmosphere remains unclear. To address this issue, estimates of net ecosystem exchange of carbon (NEE) were made for 3 years (1998–2000) using the eddy‐covariance technique in a tropical wet forest in Costa Rica. Measurements were made from a 42 m tower centred in an old‐growth forest. Under unstable conditions, the measurement height was at least twice the estimated zeroplane height from the ground. The canopy at the site is extremely rough; under unstable conditions the median aerodynamic roughness length ranged from 2.4 to 3.6 m. No relationship between NEE and friction velocity (u*) was found using all of the 30‐min averages. However, there was a linear relationship between the nighttime NEE and averaged u* (R² = 0.98). The diurnal pattern of flux was similar to that found in other tropical forests, with mean daytime NEE ca. ? 18 μ mol CO₂ m^?2 s^?1 and mean nighttime NEE 4.6 μ mol CO₂ m^?2 s^?1. However, because ～ 80% of the nighttime data in this forest were collected during low u* conditions ( < 0.2 m s^?1), nighttime NEE was likely underestimated. Using an alternative analysis, mean nighttime NEE increased to 7.05 μ mol CO₂ m^?2 s^?1. There were interannual differences in NEE, but seasonal differences were not apparent. Irradiance accounted for ～ 51% of the variation in the daytime fluxes, with temperature and vapour pressure deficit together accounting for another ～ 20%. Light compensation points ranged from 100 to 207 μ mol PPFD m^?2 s^?1. No was relationship was found between 30‐min nighttime NEE and tower‐top air temperature. A weak relationship was found between hourly nighttime NEE and canopy air temperature using data averaged hourly over the entire sampling period (Q₁₀ = 1.79, R² = 0.17). The contribution of below‐sensor storage was fairly constant from day to day. Our data indicate that this forest was a slight carbon source in 1998 (0.05 to ?1.33 t C ha^?1 yr^?1), a moderate sink in 1999 (?1.53 to ?3.14 t C ha^?1 yr^?1), and a strong sink in 2000 (?5.97 to ?7.92 t C ha^?1 yr^?1). This trend is interpreted as relating to the dissipation of warm‐phase El Niño effects over the course of this study.     

An initial intercomparison of micrometeorological and ecological inventory estimates of carbon exchange in a mid-latitude deciduous forest

The role of mid‐latitude forests in the sequestration of carbon (C) is of interest to an increasing number of scientists and policy‐makers alike. Net CO₂ exchange can be estimated on an annual basis, using eddy‐covariance techniques or from ecological inventories of C fluxes to and from a forest. Here we present an intercomparison of annual estimates of C exchange in a mixed hardwood forest in the Morgan‐Monroe State Forest, Indiana, USA for two years, 1998 and 1999. Based on eddy‐covariance measurements made at 1.8 times canopy height from a tower, C uptake by the forest was 237 and 287 g C m^?2 y^?1 for 1998 and 1999, respectively. For the same time period, biometric and ecophysiological measures and modelled estimates of all significant carbon fluxes within deciduous forests were made, including: change in living biomass, aboveground and belowground detritus production, foliage consumption, and forest floor and soil respiration. Using this ecological inventory method for these same two time periods, C uptake was estimated to be 271 and 377 g C m^?2 y^?1, which are 14.3% and 31.4% larger, respectively, than the tower‐based values. The relative change between this method's annual estimates is consistent with that of the eddy‐covariance based values. Our results indicate that the difference in annual C exchange rates was due to reduced heterotrophic soil respiration in 1999.     

Cross validation of open-top chamber and eddy covariance measurements of ecosystem CO2 exchange in a Florida scrub-oak ecosystem

Simultaneous measurements of net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) were made in a Florida scrub‐oak ecosystem in August 1997 and then every month between April 2000 to July 2001, using open top chambers (NEE_O) and eddy covariance (NEE_E). This study provided a cross validation of these two different techniques for measuring NEE. Unique characteristics of the comparison were that the measurements were made simultaneously, in the same stand, with large replicated chambers enclosing a representative portion of the ecosystem (75 m², compared to approximately 1–2 ha measured by the eddy covariance system). The value of the comparison was greatest at night, when the microclimate was minimally affected by the chambers. For six of the 12 measurement periods, night NEE_O was not significantly different to night NEE_E, and for the other periods the maximum difference was 1.1 µ mol m ^{? 2}s ^{? 1}, with an average of 0.72 ± 0.09 µ mol m ^{? 2}s ^{? 1}. The comparison was more difficult during the photoperiod, because of differences between the microclimate inside and outside the chambers. During the photoperiod, air temperature (T_air) and air vapour pressure deficits (VPD) became progressively higher inside the chambers until mid‐afternoon. In the morning NEE_O was higher than NEE_E by about 26%, consistent with increased temperature inside the chambers. Over the mid‐day period and the afternoon, NEE_O was 8% higher that NEE_E, regardless of the large differences in microclimate. This study demonstrates both the uses and difficulties associated with attempting to cross validate NEE measurements made in chambers and using eddy covariance. The exercise was most useful at night when the chamber had a minimal effect on microclimate, and when the measurement of NEE is most difficult.     

黄河口潮间盐沼湿地生长季净生态系统CO2交换特征及其影响因素

潮间盐沼湿地生物地球化学过程独特,生态系统CO2交换存在着极大的复杂性和不确定性。利用2012年黄河口潮间盐沼湿地生态系统生长季(4—10月)连续的涡度相关观测数据,分析了潮间盐沼湿地的净生态系统CO2交换(NEE)、总初级生产力(GPP)和生态系统呼吸(Reco)的变化特征及其影响因素。结果表明:生长季,生态系统NEE具有明显的日变化和季节变化。日尺度上,表现为白天CO2净吸收,夜间CO2净释放,NEE日平均值为-0.38 g CO2m-2d-1;月尺度上,平均气温最高的7月生态系统释放CO2最多(15.16 g C/m2),6月生态系统吸收CO2最多(25.07 g C/m2)。潮间盐沼湿地生态系统的CO2交换受到光合有效辐射(PAR)、土壤温度(Ts)、土壤含水量(SWC)和潮汐淹水的共同影响。白天NEE主要受控于PAR,且生态系统表观初始光能利用率(α)和最大光合速率(NEEsat)分别在6月和5月达到最大值,分别为(0.0086±0.0019)μmol CO2μmol-1光子和(4.79±1.52)μmol CO2m-2s-1。夜间NEE随Ts呈指数增加趋势,生态系统呼吸的温度敏感性(Q10)为1.33,且SWC越高,Q10值越大。研究典型晴天(6月19日—6月25日)表明,潮汐淹水增强了生态系统白天对CO2的吸收,同时也增强了夜间CO2释放,研究时段内,潮汐淹水使生态系统净CO2吸收增加了0.76 g CO2m-2d-1。整个生长季,黄河口潮间盐沼湿地生态系统表现为CO2的汇,NEE为-22.28 g C/m2(其中,吸收118.34 g C/m2,释放96.28 g C/m2)。研究结果利于对潮间盐沼湿地源汇功能和影响机制的进一步认识与研究。
