Metabolism and organic carbon fluxes in the tidal freshwater Hudson River     

R. W. Howarth  R. Schneider  D. Swaney 《Estuaries and Coasts》1996,19(4):848-865

We summarize rates of metabolism and major sources and sinks of organic carbon in the 148-k long, tidally influenced, freshwater Hudson River. The river is strongly heterotrophic, with respiration exceeding gross primary production (GPP). The P:R ration averages 0.57 (defined as the ratio of GPP to total ecosystem respiration) if only the aquatic portion of the ecosystem is considered and 0.70 if the emergent marshes are also included. Gross primary production (GPP) by photoplankton averages approximately 300 g C m^?2 yr^?1 and is an order of magnitude greater than that by submersed macrophytes. However, the river is deep, well mixed, and turbid, and phytoplankton spend a majority of their time in the dark. As a result, respiration by living phytoplankton is extremely high and net primary production (NPP) by phytoplankton is estimated to be only some 6% of GPP. NPP by phytoplankton and submersed macrophytes are roughly equal (approximately 20 g C m^?2 yr^?1 each) when averaged over the river. Emergent marshes are quite productive, but probably less than 16 g C m^?2 yr^?1 enters the aquatic portion of the ecosystem from these marshes. Heterotrophic respiration and secondary production in the river are driven primarily by allochthonous inputs of organic matter from terrestrial sources. Rates of metabolism vary along the river, with depth being a critical controlling factor. The P:R ratio for the aquatic portion of the ecosystem varies from 1 in the mid-river to 0.2 in the deeper waters. NPP is actually negative in the downstream waters where average depths are greater since phytoplankton respiration exceeds GPP there; the positive rates of NPP occurring upriver support a downstream advection of phytoplankton to the deeper waters where this C is largely respired away by the algae themselves. This autotrophic respiration contributes significantly to oxygen depletion in the deeper waters of the Hudson. The tidally influenced freshwater Hudson largely fits the patterns predicted by the river continuum model for larger rivers. However, we suggest that the continuum model needs to more clearly distinguish between GPP and NPP and should include the importance of autotrophic respiration by phytoplankton that are advected along a river. The organic carbon budget for the tidally influenced freshwater Hudson is balanced to within a few percent. Respiration (54%) and downstream advection into the saline estuary (41%) are the major losses of organic carbon from the ecosystem. Allochthonous inputs from nonpoint sources on land (61%) and GPP by phytoplankton (28%) are the major sources to the system. Agricultural erosion is the major source of allochthonous inputs. Since agricultural land use increased dramatically in the last century, and has fallen in this century, the carbon cycle of the tidally influenced freshwater Hudson River has probably changed markedly over time. Before human disturbance, the Hudson was probably a less heterotrophic system and may even have been autotrophic, with gross primary production exceeding ecosystem respiration.  相似文献

Organic carbon metabolism and carbonate dynamics in a Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica), meadow     

Cristina Barrón  Carlos M. Duarte  Michel Frankignoulle  Alberto Vieira Borges 《Estuaries and Coasts》2006,29(3):417-426

We measured monthly dissolved oxygen (DO) changes in situ benthic incubations from March 2001 to October 2002 in aPosidonia oceanica meadow and unvegetated sediments of Magalluf Bay (Mallorca Island, Spain) to determine gross primary production (GPP), community respiration (R), and net community production (NCP). From June 2001 to October 2002, we also measured fluxes of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TAlk). The yearly integrated metabolic rates based on DO changes show that theP. oceanica communities are net autotrophic while the metabolic rates in the unvegetated benthic communities are nearly balanced. Higher calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) cycling, both in terms of production and dissolution, was observed inP. oceanica communities than in unvegetated benthic communities. In theP. oceanica meadow, the annual release of CO₂ from net CaCO₃ production corresponds to almost half of the CO₂ uptake by NCP based on DIC incubations. In unvegetated benthic communities, the annual uptake of CO₂ from net CaCO₃ dissolution almost fully compensates the CO₂ release by NCP based on DIC incubations. CaCO₃ dynamics is potentially a major factor in CO₂ benthic fluxes in seagrass and carbonate-rich temperate coastal ecosystems.  相似文献   

Exploring the effects of water on vegetation change and net primary productivity along the IGBP Northeast China Transect   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Yujin Zhang  Guangsheng Zhou 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2011,62(7):1481-1490

To understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of climate variation, especially the effects of water on vegetation, vegetation type and distribution as well as climate data and soil type were used to simulate present vegetation distributions and net primary productivity (NPP) under present and future climate scenarios SRES-A2 and SRES-B2. A natural vegetation NPP model was also applied to calculate future vegetation NPP. The results showed that water played a dominant role not only in the distribution of vegetation, but also in the rate of change in the vegetation area. Analysis of NPP showed that precipitation had more effects on the amount of biome NPP than temperature did. Different effects were observed for the rate of change in NPP. In cases where biomes remain unaltered, the variation in annual precipitation could account for 39% of the variation in NPP. In cases where biomes changed, 45% of NPP was caused by temperature variation. Regarding the variation in transect production, −2.85% resulted from the change in vegetation structure when compared with present NPP, and 7.69% from the climate change under scenario SRES-B2; these values were −7.4 and 19.56%, respectively, under scenario SRES-A2. The results showed water served as a dominant factor controlling the vegetation distributions and NPP. However, temperature became determinant where the biomes changed, impacting the rate of change in vegetation NPP when the climate changed. The results also showed that water would have a positive effect on transect production, and the structure of vegetation had a negative effect under the projected future climate.  相似文献   

Environmental Controls on Net Ecosystem CO2 Exchange Over a Reed (Phragmites australis) Wetland in the Yellow River Delta, China     

Guangxuan Han  Liqiong Yang  Junbao Yu  Guangmei Wang  Peili Mao  Yongjun Gao 《Estuaries and Coasts》2013,36(2):401-413

Using the Eddy Covariance (EC) technique, we analyzed temporal variation in net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) and determined the effects of environmental factors on the balance between ecosystem photosynthesis and respiration in a reed (Phragmites australis) wetland in the Yellow River Delta, China. Our results indicated that diurnal and seasonal patterns of NEE and its components (ecosystem respiration (R _eco), gross primary production (GPP)) varied markedly among months for the growing season (May to October). The cumulative CO₂ emission was 1,657 g CO₂ m^?2, while 2,612 g CO₂ m^?2 was approximately accumulated as GPP, which resulted in the reed wetland being a net sink of 956 g CO₂ m^?2. The ratio of R _eco to GPP in reed wetland was 0.68, which was close to other temperate wetlands. Soil temperature and soil moisture exerted the primary controls on R _eco during the growing season. Daytime NEE values during the growing season were strongly correlated with photosynthetically active radiation. Aboveground biomass showed significant linear relationships with 24-h average NEE, daytime GPP, and R _eco, respectively. Thus, we conclude that the coastal wetland acted as a carbon sink during the growing season despite the variations in environmental conditions, and long-term flux measurements over these ecosystems are undoubtedly necessary.  相似文献

元志辉  池勇峰  雷军  包刚  包玉海  萨楚拉  咏梅 《冰川冻土》2017,39(1):185-199

利用卫星遥感资料和地面气象观测资料,基于CASA模型及其他数理方法估算了浑善达克沙地2000-2013年生长季（4-10月）植被净初级生产力（NPP）,并对其时空变化特征进行了分析,讨论了气候因子和人类活动对植被净初级生产力的影响。结果表明： 14年间,研究区生长季的植被净初级生产力呈波动中增加趋势,多年平均NPP为239.8 gC·m^-2·a^-1。整个研究区表现为高NPP值（大于150 gC·m^-2·a^-1）的植被面积在增加,低NPP值（小于150 gC·m^-2·a^-1）的植被面积在减少。在空间分布上,研究区的北部、中部和南部边缘区域的植被NPP增加趋势较明显,而东部和西部部分区域未发生明显的趋势性变化。总体而言,研究区植被净初级生产力变化趋势与降水量的关系更密切,其相关系数达到0.86,是驱动植被NPP年际波动的最直接因素。而与温度呈负相关,相关系数为-0.42。综合考虑气候因素和人类活动对沙地NPP的影响发现,温度降低、种饲料面积、年末牲畜存栏头数和羊的数量的减少是NPP值提高的关键因素。  相似文献   

Can pelagic net heterotrophy account for carbon fluxes from eastern Canadian lakes?     

Kristal Dubois  Richard Carignan  Ján Veizer 《Applied Geochemistry》2009

Lakes worldwide are commonly oversaturated with CO₂, however the source of this CO₂ oversaturation is not well understood. To examine the magnitude of the C flux to the atmosphere and determine if an excess of respiration (R) over gross primary production (GPP) is sufficient to account for this C flux, metabolic parameters and stable isotopes of dissolved O₂ and C were measured in 23 Québec lakes. All of the lakes sampled were oversaturated with CO₂ over the sampling period, on average 221 ± 25%. However, little evidence was found to conclude that this CO₂ oversaturation was the result of an excess of pelagic R over GPP. In lakes Croche and à l’Ours, where CO₂ flux, R and GPP were measured weekly, the annual difference between pelagic GPP and R, or net primary production (NPP), was not sufficient to account for the size of the CO₂ flux to the atmosphere. In Lac Croche average annual NPP was 14.4 mg C m⁻² d⁻¹ while the average annual flux of CO₂ to the atmosphere was 34 mg C m⁻² d⁻¹. In Lac à l’Ours average annual NPP was −9.1 mg C m⁻² d⁻¹ while the average annual flux of CO₂ to the atmosphere was 55 mg C m⁻² d⁻¹. In all of the lakes sampled, O₂ saturation averaged 104.0 ± 1.7% during the ice-free season and the isotopic composition of dissolved O₂ (δ¹⁸O_DO) was 22.9 ± 0.3‰, lower than atmospheric values and indicative of net autotrophy. Carbon evasion was not a function of R, nor did the isotopic signature of dissolved CO₂ in the lakes present evidence of excess R over GPP. External inputs of C must therefore subsidize the lake to explain the continued CO₂ oversaturation. The isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic C (δ¹³C_DIC) indicates that the CO₂ oversaturation cannot be attributed to in situ aerobic respiration. δ¹³C_DIC reveals a source of excess C enriched in ¹³C, which may be accounted for by anaerobic sediment respiration or groundwater inputs followed by kinetic isotope fractionation during degassing under open system conditions.  相似文献   

水生植物对岩溶区河水地球化学昼夜变化的影响——以漓江为例     

王奇岗  肖琼  赵海娟  郭永丽  汪智军 《中国岩溶》2018,37(4):501-514

为研究河流非岩溶区断面和岩溶区断面生物地球化学昼夜变化过程、特征及影响因素,探讨水生生物对岩溶区河水碳汇作用的影响,于2016年10月30日-2016年11月1日,在广西桂林漓江干流非岩溶区的峡背和岩溶区的省里设置两个监测点同时开展了为期48小时的高分辨率在线监测和高频率取样工作,研究其水文参数(电导率(EC)、水温(T)、pH以及Ca2+、HCO-3、NO-3等离子和溶解无机碳同位素(δ13CDIC)等水化学参数的昼夜变化规律,并分析其影响因素。发现:（1）峡背和省里两断面水化学类型为HCO3－Ca型,但水文地球化学昼夜变化过程不同:省里断面的物理化学参数昼夜变化显著,T、pH、DO、SIC白天上升夜间下降,Ca2+、HCO-3的质量浓度和EC、p (CO2)白天降低、夜晚上升;而峡背断面理化指标昼夜变幅小,这与峡背断面处于岩溶区与非岩溶区交界处,非岩溶河流汇入、生物量较小等环境特征有关。（2）省里断面营养元素(NO-3、SO42-、Cl-、Na+)昼夜变化过程主要受水生植物同化作用控制,呈现白天降低、夜间升高的变化规律。（3）峡背断面和省里断面TOC 与DOC白天上升、夜间下降,最高日变化幅度可达79%和61%,利用端元混合模型计算得出省里断面和峡背断面内源有机碳占总有机碳的比例分别为91.99%和88.39%,省里断面和峡背断面水生植物光合作用利用HCO-3作为无机碳源的比例为67.42%～99.75%和57.76%～69.78%,平均值分别为79.54%和63.13%。（4）省里断面溶解无机碳(DIC)变化范围为67.1～115.9 mg·L-1,平均值为96.5 mg·L-1,呈现白天下降夜间上升的变化。δ13CDIC变化范围-7.8‰～-9.9‰,平均值为-8.9‰,表现为白天偏重、晚上偏轻的动态变化,两者呈显著的负相关关系(相关系数为-0.79)。研究表明省里断面水生植物光合作用和呼吸作用以及钙沉降是控制DIC昼夜变化的主导因素。通过估算监测期间省里断面光合作用DIC转化速率平均值为1.2×10-5 mmol·L-1·S-1,Ca2+离子的沉积速率平均值为0.18×10-5mmol·L-1·S-1。因此,岩溶区河段水生生物光合作用及其固碳能力较非岩溶区河段明显增强。   相似文献

河流溶解无机碳含量昼夜变化主要受碳酸盐反向沉积、水生光合利用和脱气作用控制,被水生光合利用的溶解无机碳是岩溶碳汇的组成部分,脱气作用比例的大小是影响碳汇稳定性的决定因素。本文以漓江中游省里—冠岩之间15 km长河段为研究对象,开展昼夜高分辨率水化学自动化监测与高频取样,分析水生植物光合作用利用HCO3-1及相关钙沉降过程。结果表明,监测河段水生光合利用的无机碳转化通量为859 kgC?d-1,单位流程光合作用溶解无机碳转化量和钙沉降量分别为2.06 t?（d?km）-1和0.78 t?（d?km）-1。光合作用与钙沉降消耗DIC约占总转化量的70 %,以光合有机碳和CaCO3形式储存于河床,成为岩溶碳汇组成部分。无机碳转化量约占输入DIC总量的6.0 %（其中1.7%以CO2形式返回大气）,说明夏季低水位期间强烈的水生植物光合利用溶解无机碳,可有效遏制白天水气界面CO2脱气过程发生,低脱气比例证实漓江水体的溶解无机碳还是比较稳定的。   相似文献   

Net Ecosystem Metabolism and Nonconservative Fluxes of Organic Matter in a Tropical Mangrove Estuary, Piauí River (NE of Brazil)     

Marcelo F. L. Souza  Viviane R. Gomes  Simone S. Freitas  Regina C. B. Andrade  Bastiaan Knoppers 《Estuaries and Coasts》2009,32(1):111-122

Net ecosystem metabolism (NEM) was measured in the Piauí River estuary, NE Brazil. A mass balance of C, N, and P was used to infer its sources and sinks. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations and fluxes were measured over a year along this mangrove dominated estuary. DIC concentrations were high in all estuarine sections, particularly at the fluvial end member at the beginning of the rainy season. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the entire estuary were supersaturated throughout the year and highest in the upper estuarine compartment and freshwater, particularly at the rainy season, due to washout effects of carbonaceous soils and different organic anthropogenic effluents. The estuary served as a source of DIC to the atmosphere with an estimated flux of 13 mol CO₂ m^?2 year^?1. Input from the river was 46 mol CO₂ m^?2 year^?1. The metabolism of the system was heterotrophic, but short periods of autotrophy occurred in the lower more marine portions of the estuary. The pelagic system was more or less balanced between auto- and heterotrophy, whereas the benthic and intertidal mangrove region was heterotrophic. Estimated annual NEM yielded a total DIC production in the order of 18 mol CO₂ m^?2 year^?1. The anthropogenic inputs of particulate C, N, and P, dissolved inorganic P (DIP), and DIC were significant. The fluvial loading of particulate organic carbon and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was largely retained in two flow regulation and hydroelectric reservoirs, promoting a reduction of C:N and C:P particulate ratios in the estuary. The net nonconservative fluxes obtained by a mass balance approach revealed that the estuary acts as a source of DIP, DIN, and DIC, the latter one being almost equivalent to the losses to the atmosphere. Mangrove forests and tidal mudflats were responsible for most of NEM rates and are the main sites of organic decomposition to sustain net heterotrophy. The main sources for this organic matter are the fluvial and anthropogenic inputs. The mangrove areas are the highest estuarine sources of DIP, DIC, and DIN.  相似文献

The Response of Carbon Geochemistry to Hydrological Events within an Urban River,Southwestern China     

J. Zhong  S. L. Li  H. M. Cai  F. J. Yue  F. X. Tao 《Geochemistry International》2018,56(5):462-473

Natural and anthropogenic impacts on dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) within an urban river, Nanming River in southwestern China, were investigated using hydrochemistry and carbon isotopic compositions of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ¹³C_DIC). Because of the anthropogenic inputs, generally, the TDS values and major ionic compositions showed an increasing trend along the mainstream. The TDS values and most of the dissolved solutes compositions showed a dilution effect during storms, but the dilution effect did not strictly follow the theoretical dilution curve. Lighter δ¹³C_DIC values in the river after a rainstorm reflected the influx of rain water with biological CO₂ during the rain event. Meanwhile, the negative relationship between δ¹³C_DIC values and dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations in the mainstream at different sampling campaigns suggested significant degradation of organic matter in the riverine channels. The variabilities of DIC in an urban river were mainly impacted by biological activities and infiltration of soil carbon dioxide. This study demonstrated that hydrological events and anthropogenic inputs are the main controls on the variations of dissolved solutes compositions and the DIC dynamics for an urban river.  相似文献   

Planktonic and whole system metabolism in a nutrient-rich estuary (the Scheldt estuary)     

Frédéric Gazeau  Jean-Pierre Gattuso  Jack J. Middelburg  Natacha Brion  Laure-Sophie Schiettecatte  Michel Frankignoulle  Alberto Vieira Borges 《Estuaries and Coasts》2005,28(6):868-883

Planktonic gross primary production (GPP), community respiration (CR), and nitrification (NIT) were measured monthly in the Scheldt estuary by the oxygen incubation method in 2003. No significant evolution of planktonic GPP was observed since the 1990s with high rates in the freshwater area (salinity 0; 97±65 mmol C m⁻² d⁻¹) decreasing seaward (22–37 mmol C m⁻² d⁻¹). A significant decrease of NIT was observed with regard to previous investigations although this process still represents up to 20% of total organic matter production in the inner estuary. Planktonic CR was highest in the inner estuary and seemed to be mainly controlled by external organic matter inputs. Planktonic net community production was negative most of the time in the estuary with values ranging from −300 to 165 mmol C m⁻² d⁻¹. Whole estuary net ecosystem production (NEP) was investigated on an annual scale using the results mentioned above and published benthic metabolic rates. A NEP of −39±8 mmol C m⁻² d⁻¹ was estimated, which confirms the strong heterotrophic status of this highly nutrified estuary. NEP rates were computed from June to December 2003 to compare with results derived from the Land-Ocean Interaction in the Coastal Zone budgeting procedure applied to dissolved inorganic phosphorus and carbon (DIP and DIC). DIP budgets failed to provide realistic estimates in the inner estuary where abiotic processes account for more than 50% of the nonconservative DIP flux. DIC budgets predicted a much lower NEP than in situ incubations (−109±31 versus −42±9 mmol C m⁻² d⁻¹) although, as each approach is associated with several critical assumptions, the source of this discrepancy remains unclear.  相似文献

Change in carbon flux (1960–2015) of the Red River (Vietnam)     

Thi Phuong Quynh Le  Nhu Da Le  Viet Nga Dao  Emma Rochelle-Newall  Thi Mai Huong Nguyen  Cyril Marchand  Thi Thuy Duong  Thi Xuan Binh Phung 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2018,77(18):658

Global riverine carbon concentrations and fluxes have been impacted by climate and human-induced changes for many decades. This paper aims to reconstruct the longterm carbon concentrations and carbon fluxes of the Red River, a system under the coupled pressures of environmental change and human activity. Based on (1) the relationships between particulate and dissolved organic carbon (POC, DOC) or dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and suspended sediments (TSS) or river water discharge and on (2) the available detailed historical records of river discharge and TSS concentration, the variations of the Red River carbon concentration and flux were estimated for the period 1960–2015. The results show that total carbon flux of the Red River averaged 2555?±?639 kton C year^?1. DIC fluxes dominated total carbon fluxes, representing 64% of total, reflecting a strong weathering process from carbonate rocks in the upstream basin. Total carbon fluxes significantly decreased from 2816 kton C year^?1 during the 1960s to 1372 kton C year^?1 during the 2010s and showed clear seasonal and spatial variations. Organic carbon flux decreased in both quantity and proportion of the total carbon flux from 40.9% in 1960s to 14.9% in 2010s, reflecting the important impact of dam impoundment. DIC flux was also reduced over this period potentially as a consequence of carbonate precipitation in the irrigated, agricultural land and the reduction of the Red River water discharge toward the sea. These decreases in TSS and carbon fluxes are probably partially responsible for different negatives impacts observed in the coastal zone.  相似文献   

Comparison of net primary productivity in karst and non-karst areas: a case study in Guizhou Province,China     

Bing Wang  Shengtian Yang  Changwei Lü  Jing Zhang  Yujuan Wang 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2010,59(6):1337-1347

Green plants play an important role in energy flows and material cycles. The net primary productivity (NPP) reflects the capability of vegetation to convert solar energy into photosynthate (fixed carbon). Understanding the factors that contribute to variations in NPP is of key importance for improving the rock-desertification environment in karst areas. In this paper, the NPP model (Light Use Efficiency model) is modified on the basis of remote sensing data [moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS)], climate data and observed information. Then the model is employed to estimate the spatial–temporal variations of NPP in the Guizhou Province, China. Finally, the NPP differences between karst area and non-karst area, and the relationships between NPP and climate factors are analyzed. The results show that the NPP estimated using MODIS data are reasonable. The mean NPP of territorial vegetation is 421.46 gC m⁻² year⁻¹; the NPP in the non-karst area is 13.3% higher than that in the karst area; the correlation degree between NPP and precipitation is better in southeastern and western districts.  相似文献   

Role of biology in the air-sea carbon flux in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea     

M. K. Sharada  P. S. Swathi  K. S. Yajnik  C. Kalyani Devasena 《Journal of Earth System Science》2008,117(4):429-447

A physical-biological-chemical model (PBCM) is used for investigating the seasonal cycle of air-sea carbon flux and for assessing the effect of the biological processes on seasonal time scale in the Arabian Sea (AS) and Bay of Bengal (BoB), where the surface waters are subjected to contrasting physical conditions. The formulation of PBCM is given in Swathi et al (2000), and evaluation of several ammonium-inhibited nitrate uptake models is given in Sharada et al (2005). The PBCM is here first evaluated against JGOFS data on surface pCO₂ in AS, Bay of Bengal Process Studies (BoBPS) data on column integrated primary productivity in BoB, and WOCE Il data on dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and alkalinity (ALK) in the upper 500 meters at 9°N in AS and at 10°N in BoB in September–October. There is good qualitative agreement with local quantitative discrepancies. The net effect of biological processes on air-sea carbon flux on seasonal time scale is determined with an auxiliary computational experiment, called the abiotic run, in which the biological processes are turned off. The difference between the biotic run and abiotic run is interpreted as the net effect of biological processes on the seasonal variability of chemical variables. The net biological effect on air-sea carbon flux is found to be highest in southwest monsoon season in the northwest AS, where strong upwelling drives intense new production. The biological effect is larger in AS than in BoB, as seasonal upwelling and mixing are strong in AS, especially in the northeast, while coastal upwelling and mixing are weak in BoB.  相似文献   

Carbon dioxide fluxes over a temperate meadow in eastern Inner Mongolia,China   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Understanding the carbon dynamics in grassland is essential to precisely estimate global atmospheric carbon budget in response to climatic change. Eddy flux measurements were carried out during 2011 and 2012 to characterize seasonal and annual variability of carbon exchanges above a temperate meadow in eastern Inner Mongolia, China. The CO₂ flux showed obvious diurnal variations and the monthly mean amplitudes of diurnal course followed June/July > August > May > September. The daily maximum NEE reached up to ?8.0 and ?7.7 g C m^?2 for 2011 and 2012, respectively. CO₂ uptake was mainly from May to August, with seasonal peaks of ?16.0 g C m^?2 day^?1 in both two years. Gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Re) were ?1,084.5, 987.1 g C m^?2 year^?1 in 2011, and ?1,123.3, 1,040.2 g C m^?2 year^?1 in 2012, respectively. The meadow acted as a stable carbon sink, with integrated net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of ?97.4 and ?83.1 g C m^?2 year^?1 for 2011 and 2012, respectively. Compared with 2011, the ecosystem assimilated more carbon and meanwhile respired even more, leading to a less carbon sequestration in 2012. PAR and leaf area index (LAI) dominated the seasonal variations in NEE, with PAR explaining 61–69 % of the variance in NEE as LAI maintaining the plateau during June to July. Harvest significantly decreased ecosystem carbon uptake. The interannual variability in GPP and Re resulted primarily from the variations in temperature and its effect on biomass growth.  相似文献   

硫酸侵蚀碳酸盐岩对长江河水DIC循环的影响   总被引：26，自引：0，他引：26

对长江及其主要支流河水水化学和溶解无机碳（DIC）同位素组成（δ13GDIC）进行了研究。河水阳离子组成以Ca^2＋、Mg^2＋为主,阴离子以HCO3-、SO4^2-为主,水化学组成主要受流域碳酸盐岩矿物的化学侵蚀控制。DIC含量为0．3～2．5mmol／L,从上游到河口逐渐降低。δ13CDIC值为-12．0‰-3．4‰,与DIC含量具有相似的变化趋势。H2CO3溶解碳酸盐岩是控制河水DIC来源及其占δGDIC组成的主要机制。H2SO4溶解碳酸盐岩加剧了流域碳酸盐岩的化学侵蚀,一方面导致了河水的DIC含量增加,另一方面也使河水的δ13GDIC值升高。  相似文献

This study examines the consistency between the AVHRR and MODIS normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) datasets in estimating net primary productivity (NPP) and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) over India during 2001–2006 in a terrestrial ecosystem model. Harmonic analysis is employed to estimate seasonal components of the time series. The stationary components (representing long-term mean) of the respective NDVI time series are highly coherent and exhibit inherent natural vegetation characteristics with high values over the forest, moderate over the cropland, and small over the grassland. Both data exhibit strong semi-annual oscillations over the cropland dominated Indo-Gangetic plains while annual oscillations are strong over most parts of the country. MODIS has larger annual amplitude than that of the AVHRR. The similar variability exists on the estimates of NPP and NEP across India. In an annual scale, MODIS-based NPP budget is 1.78 PgC, which is 27% higher than the AVHRR- based estimate. It revealed that the Indian terrestrial ecosystem remained the sink of atmospheric CO ₂ during the study period with 42 TgC y ^?1 NEP budget associated with MODIS-based estimate against 18 TgC y ^?1 for the AVHRR-based estimate.  相似文献
