备注

为明确荒漠生态系统生物结皮覆盖土壤碳通量的月变化特征及其关键影响因子,以裸沙作为对照,原位动态(生长期,6—11月)观测毛乌素沙地藓结皮(M)、藻结皮(AL)覆盖土壤的呼吸速率(DR)和净碳通量(NCF),并计算得到光合速率(Pn),同步记录相应环境指标数据。结果表明:(1)两类结皮DR与Pn均先升后降,DR在8月达峰值[M,AL分别为1.96,1.66 μmol/(m2·s)],Pn在9月达峰值[M,AL分别为2.75,1.39 μmol/(m2·s)]; NCF先升后降再升,7月达峰值[M,AL分别为1.38,1.43 μmol/(m2·s)],9月达谷值[M,AL分别为-1.24,-0.18 μmol/(m2·s)]。(2)2,5,10 cm土壤温度与2,5 cm土壤含水量是藓结皮覆盖土壤碳通量关键影响因子,2,5,10 cm土壤温度、光照强度、近地表空气湿度是影响藻结皮覆盖土壤碳通量的关键影响因子。(3)藓结皮净碳固定土壤水分阈值(8.9%)低于藻结皮(11.4%),温度阈值(13.5℃)高于藻结皮(7.3℃)。以上结果表明,藓结皮与藻结皮覆盖土壤碳通量的月变化相似,但关键影响因子不同,在未来气候变化引起的增温减雨的背景下,藻结皮碳损失风险高于藓结皮。
In order to clarify the characteristics of monthly changes in carbon fluxes of soil covered with biological crust in desert ecosystem and its key influencing factors, the respiration rates(DR)and net carbon fluxes(NCF)of soils covered with moss crust(M), algal crust(AL)and bare land set as the control were observed in situ dynamically(during the growing period, June-November)in Mu Us Sandy Land, and the photosynthetic rate(Pn)was calculated. The corresponding environmental index data were recorded simultaneously. The results showed that:(1)DR and Pn of both types of crusts first increased and then decreased, with DR peaking in August [1.96, 1.66 μmol/(m2·s)for M and AL, respectively]; and with Pn peaking in September 2.75, 1.39 μmol/(m2·s)for M and AL, respectively]; NCF first increased, then decreased and increased later, with peaking in July [1.38, 1.43 μmol/(m2·s)for M and AL, respectively], and reached a trough value in September [-1.24, -0.18 μmol/(m2·s)for M and AL, respectively];(2)temperatures of soil depths of 2 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm and soil water contents of soil depths of 2 cm and 5 cm were the key influencing factors on moss crust cover soil carbon flux, temperatures of soil depths of 2 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm, light intensity and near-surface air humidity were the key influencing factors on algal crust cover soil carbon flux;(3)the soil moisture threshold of net carbon fixation by moss crust(8.9%)was lower than that of algal crust(11.4%), and the temperature threshold(13.5℃)was higher than that of algal crust(7.3℃). The above results indicated that the monthly changes of carbon fluxes of soils covered by moss crust and algal crust were similar, but the key influencing factors were different, and the risk of carbon loss in algal crust was higher than that in moss crust in the context of warming and rainfall reduction caused by future climate change.
