【英文摘要】Qianyanzhou planted forest is affected by typical mid-subtropical continental monsoon climate. It has plentiful water and heat resource but is in inconsistency of its seasonal distribution in the mid-subtropical region, thus seasonal drought frequently occur in this planted forest. Continuous measurement of carbon dioxide and water vapour exchange using the eddy covariance (EC) technique was made at the Qianyanzhou mid-subtropical planted forest as part of the ChinaFLUX network. The processes of carbon and water among soil-vegetation-atmosphere continuum were investigated synthetically by the EC technique combining with the sap flow, stable isotope and respiration measurements. The results showed that gross ecosystem photosynthesis (GEP), ecosystem respiration (RE) and net ecosystem production (NEP) showed clear seasonality, with low rates during droughts and in winter. Annual NEP varied among years from 306 to 430 g Cm?2 (mean 395, SD 50). Interannual variability in NEP was controlled primarily by air temperature and the ratio of precipitation and evapotranspiration that affected the RE/GEP ratio, which varied between 0.76 and 0.81 (mean 0.78, SD 0.02). Summer drought and heat wave were two aspects of weather that likely play an important part in the annual NEP of forest in this region. At the ecosystem scale, it was essential to consider how summer drought and heat wave conspire to affect short-term physiological and long-term ecological process, including photosynthesis and respiration processes. It will improve our understanding about the effects of seasonal drought on the coupling relationship between carbon and water cycles in this region. The obtained results will be used to model the change of carbon sink/source of China's mid-subtropical forest in future climate change, and to evaluate the role of planted forest in the carbon balance of the mid-subtropical region in China.
【中文摘要】以我国中亚热带人工林生态系统为试验研究平台,利用该生态系统夏季雨热不同步而造成的季节性干旱(温度升高与降水减少的综合作用)的天然试验条件,采用涡度相关等现代技术手段相结合的方法开展土壤-植被-大气系统碳和水交换过程的综合观测,从生态系统尺度上综合认识碳、水循环过程的耦合关系及其相互作用机制,分析生态系统光合和呼吸对季节性高温和水分亏缺的响应特征,综合探讨生态系统碳吸收/排放对季节性干旱响应的环境和生物控制机制。季节性干旱造成千烟洲人工林生态系统夏季碳吸收(NEP)能力明显下降。人工林生态系统呼吸(RE)和总初级生产力(GEP)的季节模式与NEP的季节模式明显不同。季节性干旱胁迫使RE和GEP都呈现下降趋势,但是下降趋势不同。生态系统碳平衡主要由RE和GEP相对变化所决定的。千烟洲人工林年碳吸收为306~430 g C m-2(平均值395,标准偏差50)。千烟洲人工林碳吸收主要受温度以及降水与蒸发的比例影响。这个比例控制着RE/GEP的比例关系。研究和探讨中亚热带季节性干旱对人工林生态系统碳吸收及其碳水通量耦合关系的影响,对准确估算我国中亚热带人工林碳循环和碳平衡中的作用有重要意义。
