Influence of vascular plant photosynthetic rate on CH₄ emission from peat monoliths from southern boreal Sweden   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Peat monoliths taken from a boreal peatland system were incubated at two different light intensities to investigate the effect of the photosynthetic rate of vascular plants ( Eriophorum angustifolium ) on net CH₄ emission. The experimental set-up consisted of six replicate monoliths as controls and six where the photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) was reduced by 60%. NEP and total system respiration decreased significantly in response to reduced PAR. No significant changes in CH₄ emission were found, but two different trends were noted. Methane emissions from the shaded monoliths initially seemed to be higher than emissions from the controls. After approximately four weeks the trend was reversed. The pattern may have been caused by "leakage" of organic compounds from inactivated roots that fueled CH₄ production. It is suggested that a new balanced exchange of potential substrate carbon between the plants and the surrounding peat was established. Comparably less easily degradable carbon compounds would then become available for CH₄ production. The fact that there appeared to be an effect of decreased carbon flow on CH₄ emission is further supported by a tendency for lower concentrations of organic acids in porewater in the shaded monoliths at the end of the experiment. These results indicate a possible lagtime on the order of weeks before changes in photosynthesis rates and NEP have an effect onCH₄ emission rates. Nevertheless it confirms the linkage between CO₂ and CH₄ cycling in wetland ecosystems.  相似文献   

Carbon dioxide and methane dynamics in a sub-Arctic peatland in northern Finland   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We studied carbon dynamics on various surface parts of a highly patterned fen, typical in northern Finland, to examine the importance of different microsites to the areal carbon fluxes. The studies were carried out in June-September 1995 on a mesotrophic flark fen (an aapa mire) in Kaamanen (69°08'N, 27° 17'E). Wet flarks, moist lawns and dry strings accounted for 60%, 10% and 30% of the surface area, respectively. A static chamber technique was applied to measure the CH₄ exchange, the instantaneous net ecosystem exchange (NEE, transparent chamber) and the ecosystem respiration (R_tot' opaque chamber) in several microsites. The static chamber results were compared with those obtained by the eddy covariance technique. The mean daytime areal net ecosystem CO₂ exchange rate measurement in conditions where photosynthesis was light saturated (PAR>400 μmol m_-2 s_-1) varied during the measurement period from −59 mg CO₂-C m⁻²h⁻¹ (release) to 250 (uptake). The mean CH₄ emission during the measuring period was 78 mg CH_4-Cm⁻² d⁻¹ on the flarks, 68 mg on the lawn and 6.0 mg on the strings. The strings without shrubs (mainly Betula nana ) were in general net sources of CO₂, even during the middle of the growing season, whereas the lawns, flarks and also strings growing B. nana showed a daytime net uptake of CO₂. Areally integrated chamber results showed lower CO₂ and higher CH₄ fluxes than predicted from the eddy covariance measurements.  相似文献   

Carbon dioxide fluxes of soils and mosses in wet tundra of Taimyr Peninsula, Siberia: controlling factors and contribution to net system fluxes   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Martin Sommerkorn  Manfred Bölter  Ludger Kappen 《Polar research》1999,18(2):253-260

Knowledge of the environmental controls of carbon dioxide fluxes is essential for understanding the dynamics of carbon exchange between ecosystems and atmosphere. In this study we investigated soil respiration and moss photosynthesis as well as their contribution to the net carbon dioxide flux of two different wet tundra systems. During two summers, in situ carbon dioxide fluxes were measured in a tussock tundra and in a low-centre polygonal tundra on Taimyr Peninsula, central Siberia. Measurements were carried out by means of a multichannel gas exchange system. Results show pronounced differences in soil respiration rates as related to microscale topography, mainly due to differences of soil water table and soil temperatures. Modelling of soil respiration for individual microsites revealed differences of process performance with respect to both factors. The wet microsites showed the highest potential regarding an increase of soil respiration rates in warmer and drier climate change scenarios. Another important process compensating the CO₂ release from the soil was the photosynthesis of the moss layer, assimilating as much as 51% to 98% of the daily amount of carbon dioxide released from wet tundra soils. This result demonstrates the importance of mosses in the context of tundra ecosystem processes. The magnitude of net system fluxes of the whole system at the depression of the polygonal tundra was strongly influenced by changes in soil water table. Consequently, any changes of the hydrology, as anticipated in the context of global change, would effectively alter the carbon balance of wet tundra systems.  相似文献   

北极新奥尔松地区夏季近地面CO₂、CH₄和N₂O浓度的观测研究          下载免费PDF全文

陈清清  朱仁斌  徐华 《极地研究》2013,25(2):150-160

2008和2009年夏在北极新奥尔松地区（Ny-Ålesund）不同苔原区域（鸟类保护区、海滩苔原、矿区、人类活动区等）监测CO₂、CH₄和N₂O近地面浓度的时空变化并分析其可能的影响因素。2008年7月25日-8月13日和2009年7月13-26日,在不同观测区域设置常规和非常规采样点采集气体样品共239瓶并妥善保存。实验室内使用气相色谱（GC）测定准确真空瓶中温室气体（CO₂、CH₄和N₂O）的浓度。鸟类保护区的日变化中,2008年鸟类保护区CO₂和N₂O日变化浓度均大于2009年约30 ppm和25 ppb。2008年海滩苔原CO₂浓度均高于2009年约30 ppm;N₂O浓度低于2009年11 ppb;2008年鸟类保护区CH₄浓度低于2009年,而海滩苔原2008年浓度高于2009年,差值均约为0.7 ppm。这些年际变化可能由环境条件（天气变化等）和地表覆盖情况的变化引起。高海鸟活动区（HB）CO₂浓度低于海鸟活动较少的区域（MB 和 LB）;鸟类保护区CO₂浓度低于海滩苔原,N₂O浓度高于海滩苔原,主要原因是海鸟活动和鸟粪增加了土壤营养元素,影响苔藓植被发育的情况并改变上垫面状况。综合不同苔原区域：新奥尔松地区CO₂和CH₄浓度高于ZEP (Zeppelin Station)监测平均浓度,地表向大气输送CO₂和CH₄;而N₂O低于ZEP监测的平均浓度,地表从大气吸收N₂O。不同区域影响因素不同：鸟类保护区、海滩苔原和鸟岛主要是受到海鸟活动影响;矿区主要是受水分和土壤基质影响;站区和机场受到人类活动影响但并不明显,总的来说直接原因是由于地表覆盖情况以及地形不同引起。  相似文献   

A comparison of annual and seasonal carbon dioxide effluxes between sub-Arctic Sweden and High-Arctic Svalbard     

Mats P. Björkman  Elke Morgner  Robert G. Björk  Elisabeth J. Cooper  Bo Elberling  & Leif Klemedtsson 《Polar research》2010,29(1):75-84

Recent climate change predictions suggest altered patterns of winter precipitation across the Arctic. It has been suggested that the presence, timing and quantity of snow all affect microbial activity, thus influencing CO₂ production in soil. In this study annual and seasonal emissions of CO₂ were estimated in High-Arctic Adventdalen, Svalbard, and sub-Arctic Latnjajaure, Sweden, using a new trace gas-based method to track real-time diffusion rates through the snow. Summer measurements from snow-free soils were made using a chamber-based method. Measurements were obtained from different snow regimes in order to evaluate the effect of snow depth on winter CO₂ effluxes. Total annual emissions of CO₂ from the sub-Arctic site (0.662–1.487 kg CO₂ m^–2 yr^–1) were found to be more than double the emissions from the High-Arctic site (0.369–0.591 kg CO₂ m^–2 yr^–1). There were no significant differences in winter effluxes between snow regimes or vegetation types, indicating that spatial variability in winter soil CO₂ effluxes are not directly linked to snow cover thickness or soil temperatures. Total winter emissions (0.004–0.248 kg CO₂ m^–2) were found to be in the lower range of those previously described in the literature. Winter emissions varied in their contribution to total annual production between 1 and 18%. Artificial snow drifts shortened the snow-free period by 2 weeks and decreased the annual CO₂ emission by up to 20%. This study suggests that future shifts in vegetation zones may increase soil respiration from Arctic tundra regions.  相似文献   

Cold-season soil respiration in response to grazing and warming in High-Arctic Svalbard     

Ditte Strebel  Bo Elberling  Elke Morgner  Heike E. Knicker  & Elisabeth J. Cooper 《Polar research》2010,29(1):46-57

The influence of goose grazing intensity and open-topped chambers (OTCs) on near-surface quantities and qualities of soil organic carbon (SOC) was evaluated in wet and mesic ecosystems in Svalbard. This study followed up a field experiment carried out in 2003–05 (part of the project Fragility of Arctic Goose Habitat: Impacts of Land Use, Conservation and Elevated Temperatures). New measurements of soil CO₂ effluxes, temperatures and water contents were regularly made from July to November 2007. SOC stocks were quantified, and the reactivity and composition measured by basal soil respiration (BSR) and solid-state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Results reveal variations in soil carbon cycling, with significant seasonal trends controlled by temperature, water content and snow. Experimental warming (OTCs) increased near-surface temperatures in the growing season, resulting in significantly higher CO₂ effluxes. Different grazing intensities had no significant effects on observed soil respiration, but BSR rates at the mesic site (13–23 µg CO₂ g soil-C⁻¹ h⁻¹) were highest with moderate grazing and lowest in the absence of grazing. A limited effect of grazing on microbial respiration is consistent with a lack of significant differences in SOC quantity and quality. NMR data show that the composition of A-horizon SOC is dominated by O-N-alkyl C and alkyl C groups, and less by carboxyl C and aromatic C groups: but again no marked variation in response to grazing was evident. It can be concluded that two years after a goose grazing experiment, SOC cycling was less than the natural variation within contrasting vegetation types.  相似文献

以南极阿德雷岛苔原沼泽为研究区域,2016年12月至2017年1月南极夏季期间观测研究了温室气体CH_4、CO_2和N_2O通量的变化规律及其对环境因子的响应关系。结果表明:光照条件下干旱苔原沼泽表现为CH_4吸收,通量为(–5.4±4.3)μg CH_4·m~(–2)·h~(–1),半干旱苔原与淹水苔原沼泽表现为净排放;三个类型苔原沼泽观测点均表现为N_2O净吸收,最高吸收通量出现在淹水苔原,为(–2.6±2.4)μg N_2O·m~(–2)·h~(–1);黑暗条件下苔原沼泽一致表现为CH_4和N_2O净排放。光照与土壤水分减少增加了苔原CH_4有氧氧化吸收,同时促进了反硝化作用对N_2O的还原转化。观测期间所有观测点均表现为CO_2的汇,最高CO_2净交换量与光合作用强度都出现在淹水苔原区,分别为(–40.1±17.6)μg CO_2·m~(–2)·h~(–1)和(91.2±26.5) mg CO_2·m~(–2)·h~(–1);而最高苔原沼泽呼吸速率出现在干旱苔原观测点,为(73.1±17.6)μg CO_2·m~(–2)·h~(–1)。夏季适宜的温度、降水条件促进了苔原植被的光合作用,增加了苔原沼泽CO_2吸收量。CO_2、N_2O、CH_4通量随时间变化的相互关系规律不显著(P0.05),但在降水与温度波动下,N_2O与CH_4通量都随CO_2通量呈现相似的波动。三种温室气体与各种环境因子之间的响应关系值得进一步研究;不同光照条件对CH_4、N_2O排放量的估算有重要影响。  相似文献   

Carbon fluxes in the Arctic Ocean—potential impact by climate change   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Leif G. Anderson  Staffan Kaltin 《Polar research》2001,20(2):225-232

Because of its ice cover the central Arctic Ocean has not been considered as a sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide. With recent observations of decreasing ice cover there is the potential for an increased air–sea carbon dioxide flux. Though the sensitivity of the carbon fluxes to a climate change can at present only be speculated, we know the responses to some of the forcing, including: melting of the sea ice cover make the air–sea flux operate towards equilibrium; increased temperature of the surface water will decrease the solubility and thus the air-sea flux; and an open ocean might increase primary production through better utilization of the nutrients.
The potential change in air-sea CO₂ fluxes caused by different forcing as a result of climate change is quantified based on measured data. If the sea ice melts, the top 100 m water column of the Eurasian Basin has, with the present conditions, a potential to take up close to 50 g C m⁻². The freshening of the surface water caused by a sea ice melt will increase the CO₂ solubility corresponding to an uptake of ∼ g C m⁻², while a temperature increase of 1°C in the same waters will out-gas 8 g C m⁻², and a utilization of all phosphate will increase primary production by 75 g C m⁻².  相似文献

碳酸盐岩风化吸收的大气CO₂主要以HCO₃ ^-形式连续地经由河流从大陆输送到海洋,成为陆地生态系统的重要碳汇。目前主要河流流域的碳酸盐岩风化碳汇估算存在不确定性,分布格局尚不清晰。基于GEMS-GLORI全球河流数据库提供的全球10万km ²以上主要河流流域多年平均监测数据,利用水化学径流法估算出全球主要河流流域碳酸盐岩对CO₂的吸收速率为0.43±0.15 Pg CO₂ yr ^-1,平均CO₂吸收通量为7.93±2.8 t km ^-2 yr ^-1。CO₂吸收通量在不同气候带下差异显著,热带和暖温带CO₂年吸收速率占全球主要河流流域年吸收速率的62.95%。冷温带CO₂年吸收速率占全球主要河流流域的33.05%,仅次于热带地区。本文划分出全球CO₂吸收通量的9个关键带,关键带的交汇处CO₂吸收通量较高。喀斯特出露流域碳酸盐岩对CO₂吸收通量的均值为8.50 t km ^-2 yr ^-1,约为非喀斯特流域的3倍。全球喀斯特出露流域碳酸盐岩风化碳汇在全球碳循环、水循环及碳收支平衡估算研究方面占据重要地位。  相似文献   

Fluxes of CO₂ and CH₄ in high latitude wetlands: measuring, modelling and predicting response to climate change     

Nicolai S. Panikov 《Polar research》1999,18(2):237-244

This review covers selected aspects of recent international efforts to measure and model greenhouse gas emission from northern wetlands, to identify the environmental factors that control gas emission, and to investigate wetlands'responses (particularly with respect to gas emission) to global change. Both bottom-up and top-to-bottom approaches, based respectively on local observations plus inventory of gas fluxes and inverse modelling of global circulation, agree on the size of the high latitude (>60_°N) contribution to global methane, which should be about 13% or 70 Tg/year. It has been shown that winter and spring fluxes are an essential part in the annual budget of CH₄ and especially CO₂ exchange (varying from 5 to 50%). Soil micro-organisms were shown to be able to respire during winter even at-16_°C. In comparison to aerobically respiring organisms, anaerobic methanogenic bacteria were less active in frozen soil, although they are subjected to significant stimulation by soil freeze-thaw cycles. The absence of immediate coupling of methanogenesis with plant photosynthesis implies that substrates for methane formation are derived from peat decomposition rather than from root exudation.  相似文献   

The importance of winter in annual ecosystem respiration in the High Arctic: effects of snow depth in two vegetation types     

Elke Morgner  Bo Elberling  Ditte Strebel  & Elisabeth J. Cooper 《Polar research》2010,29(1):58-74

Winter respiration in snow-covered ecosystems strongly influences annual carbon cycling, underlining the importance of processes related to the timing and quantity of snow. Fences were used to increase snow depth from 30 to 150 cm, and impacts on respiration were investigated in heath and mesic meadow, two common vegetation types in Svalbard. We manually measured ecosystem respiration from July 2007 to July 2008 at a temporal resolution greater than previously achieved in the High Arctic (campaigns: summer, eight; autumn, six; winter, 17; spring, nine). Moisture contents of unfrozen soil and soil temperatures throughout the year were also recorded. The increased snow depth resulted in significantly higher winter soil temperatures and increased ecosystem respiration. A temperature–efflux model explained most of the variation of observed effluxes: meadows, 94 (controls) and 93% (fences); heaths, 84 and 77%, respectively. Snow fences increased the total non-growing season efflux from 70 to 92 (heaths) and from 68 to 125 g CO₂-C m⁻² (meadows). The non-growing season contributed to 56 (heaths) and 42% (meadows) of the total annual carbon respired. This proportion increased with deeper snow to 64% in both vegetation types. Summer respiration rates were unaffected by snow fences, but the total growing season respiration was lower behind fences because of the considerably delayed snowmelt. Meadows had higher summer respiration rates than heaths. In addition, non-steady state CO₂ effluxes were measured as bursts lasting several days during spring soil thawing, and when ice layers were broken to carry out winter efflux measurements.  相似文献   

Responses of Soil CO2, CH4 and N2O Fluxes to N,P, and Acid Additions in Mixed Forest in Subtropical China     

GAO Wenlong  YANG Hao  LI Shenggong  KOU Liang 《资源与生态学报(英文版)》2017,8(2):154-164

Understanding how nitrogen (N) availability interacts with soil acidity and phosphorus (P) availability to affect soil-atmosphere exchanges in CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O in forest ecosystems is important for understanding the mechanisms driving ecosystem responses to enhanced N deposition. Here, we conducted an experiment with N, P and acid (H) addition in a mixed forest in subtropical China to investigate how acid and P addition affects CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O exchange under N addition. Our results showed that soil NH₄⁺-N and NO₃^--N increased after N addition, but CO₂ emissions in N addition plots remained unaffected. CH₄ uptake in N-, P-, NP-, NH- and NPH-addition plots were reduced by 21.1%, 15.7%, 39.1%, 26.6%, and 28.4%, respectively. CH₄ uptake in NP-addition plots were lower compared to N-addition and P-addition plots, indicating that N and P addition had an additive effect on inhibiting CH₄ uptake. N₂O emission in N-, NP-, NH- and NPH-addition plots increased by 158.6%, 176.0%, 117.2%, and 91.8%, respectively. N₂O emissions in NPH-addition plots were lower compared to NP-addition plots while showed no difference between N-addition and NH-addition plots. This suggests that only under P rich conditions, acid addition would greatly mitigate N₂O emissions under N addition. Our results demonstrate that for N and P co-limited forest ecosystems with acidic soils, low P availability constrains the inhibition of soil CH₄ uptake by N deposition. When P availability is low, a weak soil acidation induced by N deposition may have less influence on the stimulation of N₂O emissions by N deposition.  相似文献

Analysis of satellite measurements of ozone, nitrous oxide and methane: intra-annual variations in the stratosphere     

ALEKSANDR N. GRUZDEV  IGOR I. MOKHOV 《Polar research》1994,13(1):13-22

Peculiarities in the intra-annual variations of 0₃, N₂0 and CH₄ in the middle and upper stratosphere are analysed by different methods for the middle and polar latitudes of the Northern and the Southern hemispheres. In the middle stratosphere the phase of the O, annual harmonic shifts in the Northern Hemisphere from polar to lower latitudes, while in the Southern Hemisphere the downward shift is exhibited. The phase of the NiO annual harmonic shifts to the poles both in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, but in the Northern Hemisphere it is almost vertical with the horizontal spreading, while in the Southern Hemisphere the phase propagation has a remarkable downward component. The most similar shifts of the phase of the annual harmonic in the middle stratosphere of both hemispheres are exhibited for the CII" content in the middle and high latitudes. Remarkable differences are noted between the intervals with the increase of mixing ratios in the annual cycle at different latitudinal belts. In particular, these intervals are large in subtropical stratosphere, with a shorter and steeper decrease of the mixing ratios. The general decrease of these intervals is exhibited from middle to polar latitudes. The striking difference in temporal variations of the species exists between the northern polar and middle latitudes, where the month-to-month changes of the species are often opposite each to other. These peculiarities and interhemispheric differences are associated with the different stratospheric dynamics of the Northern and Southern hemispheres, particularly with different regimes of planetary wave activity in the northern and southern extratropical latitudes.  相似文献

明确不同生态系统土壤碳排放规律及其影响因素对准确评估全球碳循环具有重要意义。为揭示干旱区典型盐湖沿岸土壤呼吸（R_s）、土壤呼吸温度敏感系数（Q₁₀）变化特征及其影响因素，以新疆干旱区达坂城盐湖和巴里坤湖沿岸土壤为研究对象，在2015—2016年5~10月利用LI-8100土壤碳通量自动测量系统对盐湖沿岸土壤呼吸速率进行测定，分析了土壤呼吸季节性变化特征及其影响因子。结果表明，干旱区盐湖土壤呼吸变幅较大（0.07~11.59 μmol·m^-2·s^-1），平均值为2.45 μmol·m^-2·s^-1，7月土壤呼吸速率最高为4.69 μmol·m^-2·s^-1，10月最低（1.01 μmol·m^-2·s^-1）；土壤CO₂累积排放量为9.30 g·m^-2·d^-1，7月累积排放量最大为17.82 g·m^-2·d^-1。Q₁₀呈“降低—增加—降低”趋势，6月最低（2.25）9月最高（3.52），平均值为2.79。干旱区盐湖沿岸土壤呼吸受土壤有机碳（SOC）、5 cm土壤温度（ST5）、土壤含水量（SM）和土壤盐分（Salt）的共同影响，单因素模型模拟可解释土壤呼吸速率变化的41.7%~75.7%（R²=0.417~0.757，P＜0.05），多因子综合模型拟合结果最佳R_s=0.001×SOC+0.039×SM-0.534×Salt-0.116×ST5+5.06（R²=0.804，P=0.05），且均表明盐分是影响干旱区盐湖沿岸土壤呼吸速率的主要因子。因此，在考虑陆地生态系统碳收支和碳循环时不能忽略干旱区盐湖沿岸土壤碳过程，以及盐分对盐湖生态系统碳排放的影响。  相似文献   

Palaeoclimatic record from a loess–soil profile in northeastern Bulgaria—I. Rock magnetic properties     

Diana Jordanova  & Nikolai Petersen 《Geophysical Journal International》1999,138(2):520-532

A detailed record of mineral magnetic properties of a loess–palaeosol profile comprising seven loess horizons, six interbedded palaeosols and recent soil at the top in NE Bulgaria is analysed. A strong contrast between the soil and loess susceptibilities as well as other concentration-dependent hysteresis parameters is present, similar to the well-documented magnetic characteristics of the Chinese loess ( Hus & Han 1992 ; Maher & Thompson 1992 ; Heller & Evans 1995 ; Hunt et al. 1995 ). The magnetic enhancement of the palaeosol units is caused by very fine-grained pedogenic magnetite with superparamagnetic behaviour. Thermomagnetic analyses on bulk material suggest magnetite and maghemite as the main ferrimagnetic carriers in both soil and loess horizons. Their relative proportions are shown to reflect different palaeoclimatic conditions. Chernozem soils, which include recent soil S₀ and first and second palaeosols S₁ and S₂ developed under steppe vegetation, show a high degree of low-temperature oxidation of the pedogenic magnetite to maghemite. This material is characterized by coercive force H _c showing even higher values than those of the parent loess material. The older palaeosols (S₄ to S₆ ) were formed during more humid climatic conditions and therefore probably developed as forest types. Rock magnetic data suggest the existence here of only partly oxidized magnetite grains. The behaviour of the thermomagnetic curves, characterized by a kink at 200 °C, may be due to either a release of internal stress (built up as a result of partial low-temperature oxidation) or interactions between two phases.  相似文献   

Seismic image of a CO₂ reservoir beneath a seismically active volcano     

BruceR.Julian  A.M.Pitt  G.R.Foulger 《Geophysical Journal International》1998,133(1):F7-F10

Mammoth Mountain is a seismically active volcano 200 000 to 50 000 years old, situated on the southwestern rim of Long Valley caldera, California. Since 1989 it has shown evidence of unrest in the form of earthquake swarms (Hill et al. 1990), volcanic 'long-period' earthquakes (Pitt & Hill 1994), increased output of magmatic ³He (Sorey et al. 1993) and the emission of about 500 tonnes day ⁻¹ of CO₂ (Farrar et al. 1995; Hill 1996; M. Sorey, personal communication, 1997), which has killed trees and poses a threat to human safety. Local-earthquake tomography shows that in mid-1989 areas of subsequent tree-kill were underlain by extensive regions where the ratio of the compressional and shear elastic-wave speeds V_P/V_S was about 9 per cent lower than in the surrounding rocks. Theory (Mavko & Mukerji 1995), experiment (Ito, DeVilbiss & Nur 1979), and experience at other geothermal/volcanic areas (Julian et al. 1996) and at petroleum reservoirs (Harris et al. 1996) indicate that V_P/V_S is sensitive to pore-fluid compressibility, through its effect on V_P . The observed V_P/V_S anomaly is probably caused directly by CO₂, and seismic V_P/V_S tomography is thus a promising tool for monitoring gas concentration and movement in volcanoes, which may in turn be related to volcanic activity.  相似文献   

固沙植被区两类结皮斑块土壤呼吸对降雨脉冲的响应   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

与降水事件密切相关的土壤水分有效性是荒漠生态系统土壤呼吸的重要驱动因子。研究了固沙植被区以藓类和藻类为主的生物土壤结皮斑块土壤呼吸对模拟降雨(5、10、20 mm)的响应。结果表明:3种降雨量对不同结皮斑块土壤呼吸均有显著的激发作用, 但2种土壤的响应特征不同。藓类结皮斑块土壤呼吸速率在降雨后0.5 h达到最大值, 而藻类结皮斑块土壤在降雨后2 h达到最大值, 其呼吸速率分别是降雨前土壤呼吸速率的43~58、21~25倍,随后, 两类结皮斑块土壤呼吸速率逐渐下降并恢复到降雨前水平。随着降雨量的增加, 藓类结皮斑块土壤最大呼吸速率和平均呼吸速率显著增大, 而藻类结皮斑块土壤则无明显变化; 2种土壤碳释放量均随着降雨量的增大而增加。在相同降雨条件下, 藓类结皮斑块土壤呼吸速率峰值和平均值及碳释放量均显著大于藻类结皮斑块土壤。表明生物土壤结皮和降雨量均对荒漠生态系统土壤呼吸起着重要的调控作用。  相似文献

N₂O是一种重要的温室气体,土壤是全球N₂O的重要排放源。通过测定土壤源N₂O中N、O同位素值,可以有效识别N₂O的来源途径。本文采集了南极法尔兹半岛两个地点的海豹粪土（HS和GS）、阿德雷岛两个地点的企鹅粪土(AB和AF)以及东南极的帝企鹅粪土(DQ和DQT),在室内对所采集的样品分别在有氧和厌氧条件下进行冻融培养实验。结果表明：土壤在厌氧条件下比有氧条件下排放了更多的N₂O。土壤排放的N₂O与当地大气N₂O相比普遍贫15N和18O。除DQT和HS外, δ15N和δ18O在有氧和厌氧培养下均呈现很好的正相关性。N₂O排放量下降的同时伴随着培养瓶内剩余N₂O中δ15N和δ18O 值的增加,证实N₂O还原为N2的过程会引起重同位素富集。高的水分含量有利于土壤反硝化作用的进行,使释放的N₂O气体富集重同位素;pH值也会影响N₂O的同位素组成,低pH会引起δ15N值增加。  相似文献

The effects of UV-B exclusion and enhancement of solar radiation on photosynthesis of the two phanerogams which occur in the maritime Antarctic, Deschampsia antarctica and Colobanthus quitensis , and the moss Sanionia uncinats were investigated. Data on air temperature and solar radiation illustrate a drastic seasonal variation. Daily O₃ column mean values and UV-B measured at ground level document the occurrence of the O₃"hole" in the spring of 1997, with a concomitant increase in UV-B. The grass, D. antarctica , exhibited a broad temperature optimum for photosynthesis between 10–25°C while photosynthesis did not saturate even at high irradiance. The high water use efficiencies measured in the grass may be one of the features explaining the presence of this species in the maritime Antarctic. The net photosynthesis response to intercellular CO₂ (A/c_i) for D. antarctica was typical of a C₃ plant. Exposure to a biologically effective UV-B irradiance of 0.74 W M^-2 did not result in any significant change in either the maximum rate of photosynthesis at saturating CO₂ and light, or in the initial carboxylation efficiency of Rubisco. (V_c,max). Furthermore while ambient (or enhanced) solar UV-B did not affect photochemical yield, measured in the field, of C. quitensis and D. antarctica , UV-B enhancement did affect negatively photochemical yield in S. uncinata . In D. antarctica plants, exposure to UV-B at low irradiances elicited increased flavonoid synthesis. The observed effects of UV-B enhancement on the moss (decreased photochemical yield) and the grass (increase in flavonoids) require further, separate investigation.  相似文献
