Wildfire activity and the hydrological cycle are strongly interlinked. While it is well known that wildfire occurrence and intensity are controlled by water availability, less is known about the effects of wildfire on plant and soil water cycling, especially at large scales. Here we investigate this by analysing fire impacts on the coupling between plant and soil water content, at the global scale, using remote sensing of soil moisture, vegetation water content and burned area. We find a strong effect of fire on plant–soil water relations, accelerating soil moisture loss by 17% and leading to faster gains in vegetation water content by 62%, both of which are positively related to fire severity and largest in forests. This effect is spatially extensive, with accelerated soil moisture loss found in 67%, and increased vegetation water content gain found in 67% of all analysed burned areas. After fire, plants also tended to have less control on their water content (that is, were more anisohydric). In summary, fire changes ecosystem functioning by increasing ecosystem water losses and shifting the relationship between soil and vegetation water budgets. With climate change, wildfire is likely to play an increasingly important role in ecosystem water cycling and subsequent ecosystem recovery. Fire affects the hydrological interactions between soil and vegetation, leading to faster soil moisture loss and accelerated vegetation water uptake, according to a global analysis of satellite observations on soil moisture, vegetation water content and burned area.
野火活动与水文循环密切相关。众所周知,野火的发生和强度受水分供应的控制,但人们对野火对植物和土壤水循环的影响却知之甚少,尤其是在大尺度范围内。在此,我们利用土壤湿度、植被含水量和烧毁面积遥感技术,分析了火灾对全球范围内植物和土壤含水量之间耦合的影响,从而研究了这一问题。我们发现,火灾对植物与土壤水分关系的影响很大,使土壤水分流失加快 17%,植被含水量增加加快 62%,这两者都与火灾严重程度呈正相关,而且在森林中的影响最大。这种影响的空间范围很广,在所有分析过的烧毁区域中,67%的区域发现土壤水分流失加快,67%的区域发现植被含水量增加。火灾后,植物对其含水量的控制能力也趋于减弱(即更加无水)。总之,火灾会增加生态系统的水分损失,改变土壤和植被水分预算之间的关系,从而改变生态系统的功能。随着气候变化,野火可能会在生态系统水循环和随后的生态系统恢复中扮演越来越重要的角色。根据对卫星观测到的土壤湿度、植被含水量和烧毁面积进行的全球分析,火灾会影响土壤和植被之间的水文相互作用,导致土壤水分流失加快,植被吸水加速。

Tree planting is no climate solution at northern high latitudes 植树不能解决北部高纬度地区的气候问题

Planting trees has become a popular solution for climate change mitigation, owing to the ability of trees to accumulate carbon in biomass and thereby reduce anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 enrichment. As conditions for tree growth expand with global warming, tree-planting projects have been introduced in regions of the highest northern latitudes. However, several lines of evidence suggest that high-latitude tree planting is counterproductive to climate change mitigation. In northern boreal and Arctic regions, tree planting results in net warming due to increased surface darkness (decreased albedo), which counteracts potential mitigation effects from carbon storage in areas where biomass is limited and of low resilience. Furthermore, tree planting disturbs pools of soil carbon, which store most of the carbon in cold ecosystems, and has negative effects on native Arctic biota and livelihoods. Despite the immediate economic prospects that northern tree planting may represent, this approach does not constitute a valid climate-warming-mitigation strategy in either the Arctic or most of the boreal forest region. This has been known for decades, but as policies that incentivize tree planting are increasingly adopted across the high-latitude region, we warn against a narrow focus on biomass carbon storage. Instead, we call for a systems-oriented consideration of climate solutions that are rooted in an understanding of the whole suite of relevant Earth system processes that affect the radiative balance. This is crucial to avoid the implementation of ineffective or even counterproductive climate-warming mitigation strategies in the Arctic and boreal regions. Planting trees in high-latitude regions can be counterproductive to climate change mitigation, according to a synthesis of the biophysical and ecological impacts of planting trees.
由于树木能够在生物量中积累碳,从而减少人为造成的大气二氧化碳富集,植树造林已成为减缓气候变化的一种流行解决方案。随着全球变暖,树木生长的条件也随之扩大,植树项目已被引入最高北纬地区。然而,一些证据表明,高纬度地区的植树活动对减缓气候变化的影响适得其反。在北寒带和北极地区,植树会因地表暗度增加(反照率降低)而导致净变暖,这抵消了在生物量有限且复原力低的地区进行碳储存可能产生的减缓效应。此外,植树还会扰乱土壤碳库,而土壤碳库储存了寒冷生态系统中的大部分碳,并对北极本地生物群和生计产生负面影响。尽管北方植树可能代表着直接的经济前景,但在北极或大部分北方森林地区,这种方法并不构成有效的气候变暖减缓战略。几十年来,人们一直知道这一点,但随着高纬度地区越来越多地采用鼓励植树的政策,我们警告不要狭隘地关注生物质碳储存。相反,我们呼吁以系统为导向考虑气候解决方案,这些方案应植根于对影响辐射平衡的一整套相关地球系统过程的理解。这对于避免在北极和北方地区实施无效甚至适得其反的气候变暖减缓战略至关重要。根据对植树造林的生物物理和生态影响的综合分析,在高纬度地区植树造林可能会对减缓气候变化产生反作用。

Inhibition of autotrophic nitrifiers in a nitrogen-rich paddy soil by elevated CO2 高浓度二氧化碳对富氮稻田土壤中自养型硝化细菌的抑制作用

Autotrophic nitrifiers, by catalysing the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate, play a vital role in the global nitrogen cycle. They convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into biomass and, therefore, are expected to respond positively to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, in a long-term free-air CO2 enrichment experiment, we demonstrated that elevated atmospheric CO2 inhibited the growth of autotrophic nitrifiers, resulting in a reduction in nitrification in a rice ecosystem. By coupling stable-isotope probing with metagenomics, we found that the CO2 inhibition of nitrifiers was mainly a consequence of CO2-induced functional loss (genomes not recovered from metagenomes) of dominant but previously uncharacterized autotrophic nitrifying species. These species belonged mainly to ammonia-oxidizing archaea and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria and comprised 63% of total dominant members identified from the active nitrifying communities. We further showed that the functional loss of these novel nitrifying species under elevated CO2 was due largely to the CO2-induced aggravation of anoxic stress in the paddy soil. Our results provide insight into the fate of inorganic nitrogen pools in global lowland soil and water systems under climate change.

自养型硝化细菌通过催化氨氧化成硝酸盐,在全球氮循环中发挥着重要作用。它们将二氧化碳(CO2)转化为生物量,因此有望对大气中二氧化碳浓度的增加做出积极反应。然而,在一项长期的自由空气二氧化碳富集实验中,我们证实大气中升高的二氧化碳抑制了自养型硝化细菌的生长,导致水稻生态系统中硝化作用的减少。通过将稳定同位素探测与元基因组学结合起来,我们发现二氧化碳对硝化细菌的抑制作用主要是二氧化碳诱导的主要但以前未定性的自养硝化物种功能丧失(元基因组中未恢复的基因组)的结果。这些物种主要属于氨氧化古细菌和亚硝酸盐氧化细菌,占从活跃硝化群落中鉴定出的优势成员总数的 63%。我们进一步发现,在二氧化碳升高条件下,这些新型硝化物种的功能丧失主要是由于二氧化碳引起的稻田土壤缺氧胁迫加剧所致。我们的研究结果为了解气候变化下全球低地土壤和水系统中无机氮库的命运提供了见解。

Porphyry copper formation driven by water-fluxed crustal melting during flat-slab subduction 平底俯冲过程中水流推动地壳熔融形成斑岩铜矿
IF 18.3 1区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-11-04 DOI: 10.1038/s41561-024-01575-2

The prevailing view of the formation of porphyry copper deposits along convergent plate boundaries involves deep crustal differentiation of metal-bearing juvenile magmas derived from the mantle wedge above a subduction zone. However, many major porphyry districts formed during periods of flat-slab subduction when the mantle wedge would have been reduced or absent, leaving the source of the ore-forming magmas unclear. Here we use geochronology and thermobarometry to investigate deep crustal processes during the genesis of the Late Cretaceous–Palaeocene Laramide Porphyry Province in Arizona, which formed during flat-slab subduction of the Farallon Plate beneath North America. We show that the isotopic signatures of Laramide granitic rocks are consistent with a Proterozoic crustal source that was potentially pre-enriched in copper. This source underwent water-fluxed melting between 73 and 60 Ma, coincident with the peak of granitic magmatism (78–50 Ma), porphyry genesis (73–56 Ma) and flat-slab subduction (70–40 Ma). To explain the formation of the Laramide Porphyry Province, we propose that volatiles derived from the leading edge of the Farallon flat slab promoted melting of both mafic and felsic pre-enriched lower crust, without requiring extensive magmatic or metallogenic input from the mantle wedge. Other convergent plate boundaries with flat-slab regimes may undergo a similar mechanism of volatile-mediated lower-crustal melting.

关于汇聚板块边界沿线斑岩型铜矿床的形成,普遍的看法是,从俯冲带上方的地幔楔中提取的含金属的幼生岩浆在地壳深部分异。然而,许多主要斑岩区都是在地幔楔减弱或消失的平板俯冲时期形成的,因此成矿岩浆的来源并不清楚。亚利桑那州晚白垩世-古新世拉里酰胺斑岩区形成于北美洲下方法拉隆板块的平底俯冲时期,我们在这里利用地质年代学和热压测量法研究了该斑岩区形成过程中的地壳深部过程。我们的研究表明,拉拉尼花岗岩的同位素特征与新生代地壳源一致,该地壳源可能富含铜。这一来源在 73-60 Ma 之间经历了水流熔融,与花岗岩岩浆活动(78-50 Ma)、斑岩成因(73-56 Ma)和平板俯冲(70-40 Ma)的高峰期相吻合。为了解释拉里酰胺斑岩省的形成,我们提出,来自法拉隆平板块前缘的挥发物促进了黑云母和长英质预富集下地壳的熔融,而不需要来自地幔楔的大量岩浆或金属输入。其他具有平板制度的汇聚板块边界也可能经历类似的挥发物介导的下地壳熔化机制。

Weaker Atlantic overturning circulation increases the vulnerability of northern Amazon forests 大西洋翻转环流减弱加剧了亚马逊北部森林的脆弱性

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and the Amazon forest are viewed as connected tipping elements in a warming climate system. If global warming exceeds a critical threshold, the AMOC may slow down substantially, changing atmospheric circulation and leading to Amazonia becoming drier in the north and wetter in the south. Yet, the impact of an AMOC slowdown on Amazon vegetation is still not well constrained. Here we use pollen and microcharcoal data from a marine sediment core to assess changes in Amazon vegetation from 25,000 to 12,500 years ago. Additionally, we model vegetation responses to an AMOC slowdown under both glacial and pre-industrial conditions. During a past AMOC slowdown (Heinrich Stadial 1–18,000 to 14,800 years ago), pollen data evidence a decline in cold- and moist-affinity elements, coupled with a rise in seasonal tropical vegetation. This pattern is consistent with the decline in suitability of northern Amazon moist forests in a model with an imposed 50% AMOC weakening under glacial conditions. Our modelling results suggest similar changes for a comparable AMOC slowdown under pre-industrial conditions. Combined with current disturbances such as deforestation and wildfires elsewhere in the basin, an AMOC slowdown may exert a systemic impact on the Amazon forest.

大西洋经向翻转环流(AMOC)和亚马逊森林被视为气候变暖系统中相互关联的临界要素。如果全球变暖超过临界值,大西洋经向翻转环流可能会大幅减缓,从而改变大气环流,导致亚马逊北部变得更加干燥,南部变得更加潮湿。然而,AMOC 减慢对亚马逊植被的影响还没有得到很好的证实。在此,我们利用来自海洋沉积物岩芯的花粉和微炭数据,评估了 25,000 年前至 12,500 年前亚马逊植被的变化。此外,我们还模拟了冰川期和工业化前条件下植被对 AMOC 变缓的反应。在过去的 AMOC 放缓期间(海因里希期 1-18,000 至 14,800 年前),花粉数据显示冷亲水性和湿亲水性元素减少,同时季节性热带植被增加。这一模式与在冰川条件下施加了 50%的 AMOC 削弱的模型中亚马逊北部湿润森林适宜性的下降是一致的。我们的建模结果表明,在前工业化条件下,AMOC 的相应减弱也会导致类似的变化。结合当前的干扰,如流域内其他地方的森林砍伐和野火,AMOC 的减弱可能会对亚马逊森林产生系统性影响。

If global warming exceeds a critical threshold, the AMOC may slow down substantially, changing atmospheric circulation and leading to Amazonia becoming drier in the north and wetter in the south. Yet, the impact of an AMOC slowdown on Amazon vegetation is still not well constrained. Here we use pollen and microcharcoal data from a marine sediment core to assess changes in Amazon vegetation from 25,000 to 12,500 years ago. Additionally, we model vegetation responses to an AMOC slowdown under both glacial and pre-industrial conditions. During a past AMOC slowdown (Heinrich Stadial 1–18,000 to 14,800 years ago), pollen data evidence a decline in cold- and moist-affinity elements, coupled with a rise in seasonal tropical vegetation. This pattern is consistent with the decline in suitability of northern Amazon moist forests in a model with an imposed 50% AMOC weakening under glacial conditions. Our modelling results suggest similar changes for a comparable AMOC slowdown under pre-industrial conditions. Combined with current disturbances such as deforestation and wildfires elsewhere in the basin, an AMOC slowdown may exert a systemic impact on the Amazon forest.</p>","PeriodicalId":19053,"journal":{"name":"Nature Geoscience","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142561794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative bibliometric analysis of articles published in Nature Index journals over the past two decades reveals that there is less international collaboration in geoscience than in other natural science disciplines.
对过去二十年在《自然》索引期刊上发表的文章进行的文献计量分析表明,与其他自然科学学科相比,地球科学领域的国际合作较少。

Growing biomass carbon stock in China driven by expansion and conservation of woody areas 扩大和保护林地推动中国生物质碳储量增长
IF 15.7 1区 地球科学 Q1 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-10-30 DOI: 10.1038/s41561-024-01569-0

The Paris Agreement mandates that signatory countries enhance the transparency of their national greenhouse gas inventories. China’s inventories have reported substantial forest carbon gains using ground-based forest plot measurements, but independent satellite-based support for such inventories is lacking and the contributions from human management and anthropogenic environmental changes (atmospheric CO2 growth, climate change and nitrogen deposition) are unknown. Here we use remote sensing and vegetation modelling to investigate the changes in woody biomass carbon and their drivers across China from 2001 to 2020. Our results show a forest cover increase of 6.2% (59.2 Mha) over this period and a woody biomass carbon sink of 208.6 ± 51.8 TgC yr−1, consistent with the national inventories. The conservation of forest and woodland areas made an unexpectedly large contribution (59.2%) to the observed sink, with an additional 29.4% from anthropogenic expansion. Of these management-driven sinks, 53.7% (99.2 TgC yr−1) is attributed to a direct management effect and the remaining 46.3% to the effects of environmental changes. China’s ecological restoration projects contributed 73.5% of the direct management effect. Our study provides satellite-based evidence to support China’s inventories and underscores the crucial role of human management in the nation’s woody carbon balance. Growing biomass carbon stock in China between 2001 and 2020 is driven by conservation and anthropogenic expansion of woodland.
巴黎协定》要求签署国提高其国家温室气体清单的透明度。中国的清单利用地面林地测量报告了大量的森林碳增量,但缺乏独立的卫星支持,而且人类管理和人为环境变化(大气中二氧化碳的增长、气候变化和氮沉积)的贡献尚不清楚。在此,我们利用遥感和植被建模研究了 2001 年至 2020 年中国各地木质生物量碳的变化及其驱动因素。我们的研究结果表明,在此期间,森林覆盖率增加了 6.2%(59.2 万公顷),木质生物质碳汇为 208.6 ± 51.8 TgC yr-1,与国家清单一致。森林和林地的保护对观测到的碳汇的贡献出乎意料地大(59.2%),另有 29.4% 来自人为扩展。在这些由管理驱动的汇中,53.7%(99.2 TgC yr-1)归因于直接管理效应,其余 46.3% 归因于环境变化的影响。中国的生态恢复项目占直接管理效应的 73.5%。我们的研究为中国的清单提供了卫星证据,并强调了人类管理在中国木质碳平衡中的关键作用。
