AbstractThe Three North Shelterbelt Forest (TNSF) region in northern China is the largest artificial afforestation area in the world. Vegetation quality in the TNSF region has been improved greatly in recent years. This article presents a new approach to characterize vegetation quality by coupling vegetation productivity and coverage, examining the trend of vegetation quality from 2000 to 2021 at 1 km × 1 km spatial resolution by the linear regression trend method, and analyzing the driving forces of that trend. The results revealed a significant spatial difference of vegetation quality. Higher vegetation quality was found in the east and southeast of the TNSF region. Improvement of vegetation quality was found in approximately 80% area of the TNSF region, at a rate of 0 ∼ 52 g C m−2yr−1 with α = 0.05 significance between 2000 and 2021. Vegetation quality deteriorated in a few areas. The increase in CO2 concentrations and annual precipitation facilitated the improvement of vegetation quality, but also human efforts in ecological protection and restoration accelerated the improvement of vegetation quality under the current climate change background. The results might contribute to designing future ecological projects and the scientific adjustment of vegetation restoration strategies.Keywords: Climate changeecological conservationecosystem Three-North Shelter Forest (TNSF)vegetation quality AcknowledgmentsThe author thanks the National Meteorological Information Center and the Resource and Environmental Science Data Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for their data support.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis research was funded by National Key R&D Program of China (2021YFB3901103).
摘要中国北方三北防护林区是世界上最大的人工造林区。近年来,TNSF地区的植被质量得到了很大的改善。本文提出了一种耦合植被生产力和覆盖度表征植被质量的新方法,采用线性回归趋势法对2000 - 2021年1 km × 1 km空间分辨率的植被质量趋势进行了研究,并分析了这种趋势的驱动力。结果表明,植被质量存在显著的空间差异。东部和东南部植被质量较高;2000 - 2021年间,约80%的TNSF区域的植被质量以0 ~ 52 g C m−2yr−1的速率改善,α = 0.05显著性。少数地区植被质量下降。CO2浓度的增加和年降水量的增加促进了植被质量的改善,但在当前气候变化背景下,人类对生态保护和恢复的努力也加速了植被质量的改善。研究结果可为未来生态工程的设计和植被恢复策略的科学调整提供参考。关键词:气候变化生态保护生态系统三北防护林植被质量致谢感谢国家气象信息中心和中国科学院资源与环境科学数据中心的数据支持。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究资助国家重点研发计划项目(2021YFB3901103)。

AbstractThis study evaluated the horizontal variability and diurnal fluctuation of soil respiration to accurately capture changes in carbon flux during agricultural production in Lishu County, Jilin Province, China. Corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) were planted with 60-cm row spacing in 2020. The soil respiration rate (SRR) was measured at 2-hour intervals on July 1, August 1, and September 25 using a portable, closed chamber at five positions, P0, P15, P30, P45, and P60, denoting specific distances from the crop rows. The SRR between crop rows was affected both by dates and fields with the coefficient of variation ranging between 7.1 and 37.7%. The SRR at P45 was closest to the mean SRR, with a relative deviation of 0.09–4.85% on July 01 and August 01 in corn and soybean fields. On September 25, the optimal position to measure SRR was between P45 and P60. The sampling dates influenced the optimal time for measuring SRR but were mostly concentrated between 9:00 and 11:00 (24-hour clock) for corn and between 11:00 and 13:00 for soybean. The root biomass of crop rows and diurnal soil temperature were the main factors affecting horizontal variability and diurnal fluctuation of SRR, respectively. We recommend an SRR sampling strategy at P45 between 9:00 and 11:00 for corn and between 11:00 and 13:00 for soybean to decrease the effects of horizontal variability and diurnal fluctuation of SRR.Keywords: Corn and soybean rowsdiurnal fluctuationhorizontal variabilitysoil respiration Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was financially supported by the National Key Research and Development Program of China [no. 2021YFD1500802]; the NSFC-Jilin Joint Fund Project, China [no.
