植被光合呼吸模型在千烟洲亚热带常绿针叶林的优化及验证

碳循环模型参数的确定和优化对生态系统净CO₂交换(NEE)的模型计算至关重要。该文利用2010-2012年ChinaFLUX千烟洲站点的通量观测资料, 对植被光合呼吸模型(VPRM)的参数进行了优化。通过比较两种不同的拟合方案, 发现利用传统光响应方程得到的参数不适用于VPRM, 而利用模型自身反演方案拟合得到的参数最大光量子效率(λ)达0.203, 大于C₃植物平均值, 但与其他相关研究结果吻合。采用VPRM模型反演方案优化得到的参数后, VPRM能较准确地模拟千烟洲站不同季节的NEE。其对全年半小时NEE模拟的平均误差为-0.86 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, 相关系数为0.72。模型可准确地模拟生长旺季NEE平均日变化, 但低估了非生长旺季白天吸收峰值约52%。通过个例分析发现, VPRM模型可以准确模拟晴天条件下NEE的时间变化, 但对阴雨天条件下NEE的模拟还存在较大的不确定性。该研究将有助于进一步改进CO₂通量及浓度的区域数值模拟。     

植被光合呼吸模型在长白山温带阔叶红松林的优化及验证

植被光合呼吸模型(VPRM)关键参数的确定和优化是准确计算生态系统净CO_2交换(NEE)的基础。利用中国通量观测研究联盟(China FLUX)长白山站温带阔叶红松林2005年的通量观测资料,对VPRM的4个参数(最大光能利用率ε_0、光照为半饱和条件下光合有效辐射值PAR0和呼吸参数(α、β))进行优化,并使用2006年的观测资料对参数优化前后的模拟结果进行评估。结果表明:参数优化后,VPRM能够较好地模拟长白山地区2006年植物生长季NEE的变化。对30min NEE模拟的平均误差为-1.81μmol m~(-2)s~(-1),相关系数为0.72,模拟NEE平均日变化的峰值约为观测值的91%,相关系数为0.97。但在植物非生长季模型对森林NEE的模拟效果较差。模型模拟30min NEE的平均误差为0.39μmol m~(-2)s~(-1),相关系数仅为0.10,并且模拟低估NEE平均日变化白天吸收峰值约82%,日变化模拟值与观测值的相关系数为0.50。通过分析不同天气个例,发现模型可以较好地模拟晴天条件下NEE的变化,而对阴雨天NEE的模拟误差较大。该研究有利于提高VPRM模型对温带落叶阔叶林NEE的模拟能力,对进一步改进区域陆地NEE的模拟具有重要意义。     

土地利用约束下中国东部南北样带生产力和植被分布对全球变化的响应

对现有的区域植被动态模拟模型进行了改进,使之包含了土地利用分布格局对植被和生态系统相关过程的影响。改进后的模型被用地研究中国东部南北样带(NSTEC)植被和净第一性生产力对未来气候变化的响应。模拟结果显示土地利用格局对未来气候条件下植被分布的变迁和生产力形成过程有非常显著的影响。与没有土地利用约束的情形相比较,土地利用作为限制条件缓减了植被类型之间的竞争,从而减少了模拟的样带区域内常绿阔叶林,但增加了模拟灌木和草地的分布。土地利用约束使得模拟得到的当前条件下的净第一性生产力更为接近实际情况,且未来气候条件下的生产力改变量更为可信。对未来CO2倍增条件下7个大气环流模型预测的气候情景的模拟结果表明：落叶阔叶林将显著增加,但针叶林、灌木和草原的分布将下降。未来气候条件下NSTEC样带的净第一性生产力总量将增加。预测样带北部的净第一性生产力的变化范围大于样带南部。温度变化比降水变化对样带的生产力具有更强的控制。     

Patterns in Vegetation and CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Dynamics along a Water Level Gradient in a Lowland Blanket Bog

The surface of bogs is commonly patterned and composed of different vegetation communities, defined by water level. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) dynamics vary spatially between the vegetation communities. An understanding of the controls on the spatial variation of CO₂ dynamics is required to assess the role of bogs in the global carbon cycle. The water level gradient in a blanket bog was described and the CO₂ exchange along the gradient investigated using chamber based measurements in combination with regression modelling. The aim was to investigate the controls on gross photosynthesis (P_G), ecosystem respiration (R_E) and net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) as well as the spatial and temporal variation in these fluxes. Vegetation structure was strongly controlled by water level. The species with distinctive water level optima were separated into the opposite ends of the gradient in canonical correspondence analysis. The number of species and leaf area were highest in the intermediate water level range and these communities had the highest P_G. Photosynthesis was highest when the water level was 11 cm below the surface. Ecosystem respiration, which includes decomposition, was less dependent on vegetation structure and followed the water level gradient more directly. The annual NEE varied from −115 to 768 g CO₂ m⁻², being lowest in wet and highest in dry vegetation communities. The temporal variation was most pronounced in P_G, which decreased substantially during winter, when photosynthetic photon flux density and leaf area were lowest. Ecosystem respiration, which is dependent on temperature, was less variable and wintertime R_E fluxes constituted approximately 24% of the annual flux.     

阴天和晴天对黄河三角洲芦苇湿地净生态系统CO2交换的影响

云量以及大气气溶胶含量变化引起的阴天和晴天会对局地的微气候环境产生综合效应, 影响地面接收的太阳辐射强度, 同时引起环境因子的变化, 最终对净生态系统CO₂交换(NEE)产生影响。该文通过涡度相关系统以及微气象梯度观测系统, 对黄河三角洲芦苇(Phragmites australis)湿地NEE以及环境要素进行了观测。在自然条件下选择12对相邻阴天和晴天数据, 在生物要素(生物量、叶面积指数)、土壤水分以及养分特征保持不变的前提下, 揭示了阴天和晴天变化对湿地生态系统NEE的光响应和温度响应的影响。结果表明: 12对阴天和晴天生态系统NEE的日平均动态均呈“U”型曲线, 但阴天NEE的变幅较小。晴天条件下湿地生态系统NEE的日均值显著高于阴天(p < 0.01)。阴天和晴天湿地生态系统NEE与光合有效辐射(PAR)之间均呈直角双曲线关系, 但晴天条件下, 最大光合速率(A_max)显著大于阴天(p < 0.01), 同时白天生态系统呼吸(R_eco,daytime)也显著大于阴天(p < 0.01)。不论阴天还是晴天, R_eco,daytime与气温均呈显著的指数关系。晴天湿地生态系统呼吸的温度敏感系数Q₁₀ (5.5)远大于阴天(1.9)。阴天和晴天昼间PAR差值以及气温差值对NEE差值的协同影响达到63%。     

Ecosystem CO2 exchange and plant biomass in the littoral zone of a boreal eutrophic lake

• 1 In order to study the dynamics of primary production and decomposition in the lake littoral, an interface zone between the pelagial, the catchment and the atmosphere, we measured ecosystem/atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO₂) exchange in the littoral zone of an eutrophic boreal lake in Finland during two open water periods (1998–1999). We reconstructed the seasonal net CO₂ exchange and identified the key factors controlling CO₂ dynamics. The seasonal net ecosystem exchange (NEE) was related to the amount of carbon accumulated in plant biomass.
• 2 In the continuously inundated zones, spatial and temporal variation in the density of aerial shoots controlled CO₂ fluxes, but seasonal net exchange was in most cases close to zero. The lower flooded zone had a net CO₂ uptake of 1.8–6.2 mol m^?2 per open water period, but the upper flooded zone with the highest photosynthetic capacity and above‐ground plant biomass, had a net CO₂ loss of 1.1–7.1 mol m^?2 per open water period as a result of the high respiration rate. The excess of respiration can be explained by decomposition of organic matter produced on site in previous years or leached from the catchment.
• 3 Our results from the two study years suggest that changes in phenology and water level were the prime cause of the large interannual difference in NEE in the littoral zone. Thus, the littoral is a dynamic buffer and source for the load of allochthonous and autochthonous carbon to small lakes.

     

Model-data synthesis of diurnal and seasonal CO2 fluxes at Niwot Ridge, Colorado

Eddy covariance records hold great promise for understanding the processes controlling the net ecosystem exchange of CO₂ (NEE). However, NEE is the small difference between two large fluxes: photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration. Consequently, separating NEE into its component fluxes, and determining the process‐level controls over these fluxes, is a difficult problem. In this study, we used a model‐data synthesis approach with the Simplified PnET (SIPNET) flux model to extract process‐level information from 5 years of eddy covariance data at an evergreen forest in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. SIPNET runs at a twice‐daily time step, and has two vegetation carbon pools, a single aggregated soil carbon pool, and a soil moisture submodel that models both evaporation and transpiration. By optimizing the model parameters before evaluating model‐data mismatches, we were able to probe the model structure independent of any arbitrary parameter set. In doing so, we were able to learn about the primary controls over NEE in this ecosystem, and in particular the respiration component of NEE. We also used this parameter optimization, coupled with a formal model selection criterion, to investigate the effects of making hypothesis‐driven changes to the model structure. These experiments lent support to the hypotheses that (1) photosynthesis, and possibly foliar respiration, are down‐regulated when the soil is frozen and (2) the metabolic processes of soil microbes vary in the summer and winter, possibly because of the existence of distinct microbial communities at these two times. Finally, we found that including water vapor fluxes, in addition to carbon fluxes, in the parameter optimization did not yield significantly more information about the partitioning of NEE into gross photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration.

刈割降低热浪对内蒙古草甸草原碳通量的影响

热浪（Heat waves）是近年来频发的一种极端气候,其短期时间会影响生态系统植被健康并对生态系统碳通量产生长期负面影响,但其影响强度往往因生态系统类型而异。而内蒙古高原草甸草原属高纬度半干旱生态脆弱区,受气候变化影响显著,且正在遭受频繁热浪侵袭。在内蒙古呼伦贝尔草甸草原进行为期2年的野外原位模拟热浪控制实验,关注热浪对生态系统碳循环关键过程的影响和调节机制,并研究人类活动（刈割）与极端气候（热浪）对草甸草原碳通量的交互作用。结果表明,热浪处理显著降低了生态系统的土壤含水量,并显著降低草甸草原净碳交换（NEE）、生态系统呼吸（Re）和生态系统总生产力（GEP）,分别为31%、1%和14%。然而,刈割处理下,能够有效降低热浪的负面影响,表现为热浪后草地恢复所需时间缩短了约1/3。同时,热浪后水分供给能缓解热浪对生态系统碳通量的滞后效应,并缩短生态系统所需的恢复时间。

Carbon exchange in biological soil crust communities under differential temperatures and soil water contents: implications for global change

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are an integral part of the soil system in arid regions worldwide, stabilizing soil surfaces, aiding vascular plant establishment, and are significant sources of ecosystem nitrogen and carbon. Hydration and temperature primarily control ecosystem CO₂ flux in these systems. Using constructed mesocosms for incubations under controlled laboratory conditions, we examined the effect of temperature (5–35 °C) and water content (WC, 20–100%) on CO₂ exchange in light (cyanobacterially dominated) and dark (cyanobacteria/lichen and moss dominated) biocrusts of the cool Colorado Plateau Desert in Utah and the hot Chihuahuan Desert in New Mexico. In light crusts from both Utah and New Mexico, net photosynthesis was highest at temperatures >30 °C. Net photosynthesis in light crusts from Utah was relatively insensitive to changes in soil moisture. In contrast, light crusts from New Mexico tended to exhibit higher rates of net photosynthesis at higher soil moisture. Dark crusts originating from both sites exhibited the greatest net photosynthesis at intermediate soil water content (40–60%). Declines in net photosynthesis were observed in dark crusts with crusts from Utah showing declines at temperatures >25 °C and those originating from New Mexico showing declines at temperatures >35 °C. Maximum net photosynthesis in all crust types from all locations were strongly influenced by offsets in the optimal temperature and water content for gross photosynthesis compared with dark respiration. Gross photosynthesis tended to be maximized at some intermediate value of temperature and water content and dark respiration tended to increase linearly. The results of this study suggest biocrusts are capable of CO₂ exchange under a wide range of conditions. However, significant changes in the magnitude of this exchange should be expected for the temperature and precipitation changes suggested by current climate models.
