Abstract. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying microbial methane formation in subsurface environments is essential to understanding the global carbon cycle. This study examined how microbial methane formation (i.e., methanogenesis) occurs in natural-gas-bearing sedimentary aquifers throughout the sediment burial history. Water samples collected from six aquifers of different depths exhibited ascending vertical gradients in salinity from brine to fresh water and in temperature from mesophilic to psychrophilic conditions. Analyses of gas and water isotopic ratios and microbial communities indicated the predominance of methanogenesis via CO2 reduction. However, the hydrogen isotopic ratio of water changed along the depth and salinity gradient, whereas the ratio of methane changed little, suggesting that in situ methanogenesis in shallow sediments does not significantly contribute to methane in the aquifers. The population of methane-producing microorganisms (methanogens) was highest in the deepest saline aquifers, where the water temperature, salinity, and total organic carbon content of the adjacent mud sediments were the highest. Cultivation of the dominant hydrogenotrophic methanogens in the aquifers showed that the methanogenesis rate was maximized at the temperature corresponding to that of the deepest aquifer. These results suggest that high-temperature conditions in deeply buried sediments are associated with enhanced in situ methanogenesis and that methane that forms in the deepest aquifer migrates upward into the shallower aquifers by diffusion.
摘要。阐明地下环境中微生物甲烷形成的机制对于了解全球碳循环至关重要。本研究考察了天然含气沉积含水层在整个沉积物埋藏历史中微生物甲烷形成(即甲烷生成)的过程。从六个不同深度的含水层采集的水样显示出从盐水到淡水的盐度垂直梯度和从嗜中到嗜心理的温度垂直梯度。对气体和水的同位素比值以及微生物群落的分析表明,甲烷主要是通过二氧化碳还原作用产生的。然而,水的氢同位素比值随着深度和盐度梯度的变化而变化,而甲烷的同位素比值变化不大,这表明浅层沉积物中的原位甲烷生成对含水层中甲烷的产生作用不大。在最深的含盐含水层中,产甲烷微生物(甲烷菌)的数量最多,因为那里的水温、盐度和邻近泥质沉积物的总有机碳含量最高。对含水层中主要的产氢甲烷菌进行培养后发现,在与最深含水层温度相对应的温度下,产甲烷速率最大。这些结果表明,深埋沉积物中的高温条件与原地甲烷生成增强有关,在最深含水层中形成的甲烷通过扩散作用向上迁移到较浅的含水层中。

Abstract. The carbon cycle in Arctic–boreal regions (ABRs) is an important component of the planetary carbon balance, with growing concerns about the consequences of ABR warming for the global climate system. The greatest uncertainty in annual carbon dioxide (CO2) budgets exists during winter, primarily due to challenges with data availability and limited spatial coverage in measurements. The goal of this study was to determine the main environmental controls of winter CO2 fluxes in ABRs over a latitudinal gradient (45∘ to 69∘ N) featuring four different ecosystem types: closed-crown coniferous boreal forest, open-crown coniferous boreal forest, erect-shrub tundra, and prostrate-shrub tundra. CO2 fluxes calculated using a snowpack diffusion gradient method (n=560) ranged from 0 to 1.05 g C m2 d−1. To assess the dominant environmental controls governing CO2 fluxes, a random forest machine learning approach was used. We identified soil temperature as the main control of winter CO2 fluxes with 68 % of relative model importance, except when soil liquid water occurred during 0 ∘C curtain conditions (i.e., Tsoil≈0 ∘C and liquid water coexist with ice in soil pores). Under zero-curtain conditions, liquid water content became the main control of CO2 fluxes with 87 % of relative model importance. We observed exponential regressions between CO2 fluxes and soil temperature in fully frozen soils (RMSE=0.024 gCm-2d-1; 70.3 % of mean FCO2) and soils around the freezing point (RMSE=0.286 gCm-2d-1; 112.4 % of mean FCO2). FCO2 increases more rapidly with Tsoil around the freezing point than at Tsoil<5 ∘C. In zero-curtain conditions, the strongest regression was found with soil liquid water content (RMSE=0.137 gCm-2d-1; 49.1 % of mean FCO2). This study shows the role of several variables in the spatio-temporal variability in CO2 fluxes in ABRs during winter and highlights that the complex vegetation–snow–soil interactions in northern environments must be considered when studying what drives the spatial variability in soil carbon emissions during winter.
摘要。北极-滨海地区(ABRs)的碳循环是地球碳平衡的重要组成部分,人们日益关注北极-滨海地区变暖对全球气候系统的影响。每年冬季二氧化碳(CO2)预算的不确定性最大,这主要是由于数据可用性面临挑战以及测量的空间覆盖范围有限。本研究的目标是确定纬度梯度(北纬45∘至69∘)上ABR冬季二氧化碳通量的主要环境控制因素,包括四种不同的生态系统类型:闭冠针叶北方森林、疏冠针叶北方森林、直立灌木苔原和匍匐灌木苔原。使用雪堆扩散梯度法计算的二氧化碳通量(n=560)介于 0 至 1.05 克 C m2 d-1 之间。为了评估二氧化碳通量的主要环境控制因素,我们采用了随机森林机器学习方法。我们发现土壤温度是冬季二氧化碳通量的主要控制因素,占模型相对重要性的 68%,但在 0 ∘C 水幕条件下(即土壤温度≈0 ∘C 和液态水与土壤孔隙中的冰共存)出现土壤液态水时除外。在零幕条件下,液态水含量成为二氧化碳通量的主要控制因素,占模型相对重要性的 87%。我们观察到,在完全冻结的土壤(RMSE=0.024 gCm-2d-1;平均 FCO2 的 70.3%)和冰点附近的土壤(RMSE=0.286 gCm-2d-1;平均 FCO2 的 112.4%)中,二氧化碳通量与土壤温度之间呈指数回归关系。与 Tsoil<5 ∘C 时相比,FCO2 随冰点附近 Tsoil 的增加而增加得更快。在零帘条件下,土壤液态水含量的回归系数最大(RMSE=0.137 gCm-2d-1;占平均 FCO2 的 49.1%)。这项研究显示了多个变量在 ABRs 冬季二氧化碳通量时空变异中的作用,并强调在研究冬季土壤碳排放空间变异的驱动因素时,必须考虑北方环境中复杂的植被-雪-土壤相互作用。

Abstract. The sinking of zooplankton fecal pellets is a key process in the marine biological carbon pump, facilitating the export of particulate organic carbon (POC). Here, we analyzed zooplankton fecal pellets collected by two time-series sediment traps deployed on mooring TJ-A1B in the northern South China Sea (SCS) from May 2021 to May 2022. The results show a seasonal variability in both fecal pellet numerical (FPN) flux and fecal pellet carbon (FPC) flux, with peaks in November to April and June to August. It implies that the fecal pellet flux is largely regulated by the East Asian monsoon system. Vertical analysis further shows that FPN and FPC fluxes are higher at 1970 than at 500 m water depth, with larger pellets occurring in the deeper water, indicating a significant influence of mesopelagic and bathypelagic zooplankton community and lateral transport on deep-sea FPC export. However, the biovolume of amorphous pellets decreases significantly from 500 to 1970 m water depth, implying that these fecal pellets are broken and fragmented during the sinking process, possibly due to zooplankton grazing and disturbance by deep-sea currents. The contribution of fecal pellets to total POC export in the northern SCS is on average 3.4 % and 1.9 % at 500 and 1970 m water depth, respectively. This study highlights that the sinking fate of fecal pellets is regulated by marine primary productivity, deep-sea-dwelling zooplankton communities, and deep-sea currents in the tropical marginal sea, thus providing a new perspective for exploring the carbon cycle in the world ocean.
摘要浮游动物粪粒的下沉是海洋生物碳泵的一个关键过程,有助于颗粒有机碳(POC)的输出。在此,我们分析了2021年5月至2022年5月期间在南海北部TJ-A1B系泊上部署的两个时间序列沉积物捕集器收集到的浮游动物粪粒。研究结果表明,排泄物颗粒数值通量(FPN)和排泄物颗粒碳通量(FPC)均存在季节性变化,在 11 月至 4 月和 6 月至 8 月达到峰值。这意味着粪粒通量在很大程度上受东亚季风系统的调节。垂直分析进一步表明,1970 米水深的 FPN 和 FPC 通量高于 500 米水深的通量,深水中出现的颗粒较大,表明中层和深海浮游动物群落和横向迁移对深海 FPC 的输出有重要影响。然而,从水深 500 米到 1970 米,无定形颗粒的生物体积显著减少,这意味着这些粪便颗粒在下沉过程中被打碎和破碎,原因可能是浮游动物的捕食和深海洋流的干扰。在水深 500 米和 1970 米处,粪便颗粒对南中国海北部 POC 总输出的贡献率平均分别为 3.4% 和 1.9%。这项研究强调,粪便颗粒的下沉命运受海洋初级生产力、深海浮游动物群落和热带边缘海域深海洋流的调控,从而为探索世界海洋碳循环提供了一个新的视角。

Abstract. The response of tropical trees and tree communities to climate change is crucial for the carbon storage and biodiversity of the terrestrial biosphere. Trees in tropical montane rain forests (TMFs) are considered particularly vulnerable to climate change, but this hypothesis remains poorly evaluated due to data scarcity. To reduce the knowledge gap in the response of TMF trees to warming, we established a field experiment along a 1300–2400 m elevation gradient as a proxy for warming in Rwanda. Seedling-size trees of 20 species native to montane forests in eastern and central Africa were planted in multi-species plots at three sites along the gradient. They have overlapping distributions but primarily occur in either transitional rain forests (∼ 1600–2000 ma.s.l.) or mid-elevation TMFs (∼ 2000–3000 ma.s.l.), with both early- (ES) and late-successional (LS) species represented in each elevation origin group. Tree growth (diameter and height) and survival were monitored regularly over 2 years. We found that ES species, especially from lower elevations, grew faster at warmer sites, while several of the LS species, especially from higher elevations, did not respond or grew slower. Moreover, a warmer climate increased tree mortality in LS species, but not much in ES species. ES species with transitional rain forest origin strongly increased proportional to stand basal area at warmer sites, while TMF species declined, suggesting that lower-elevation ES species will have an advantage over higher-elevation species in a warming climate. The risk of higher-elevation and LS species of becoming outcompeted by lower-elevation and ES species due to a thermophilisation response in a warmer climate has important implications for biodiversity and carbon storage of Afromontane forests.
摘要热带树木和树木群落对气候变化的反应对陆地生物圈的碳储存和生物多样性至关重要。热带山地雨林(TMFs)中的树木被认为特别容易受到气候变化的影响,但由于数据匮乏,对这一假设的评估仍然不足。为了缩小热带山地雨林树木对气候变暖反应的知识差距,我们在卢旺达沿 1300-2400 米的海拔梯度建立了一个野外实验,作为气候变暖的替代。我们在沿梯度的三个地点的多树种小区内种植了原产于非洲东部和中部山地森林的 20 个树种的幼苗大小的树木。这些树种的分布有重叠,但主要分布在过渡雨林(1600-2000ma.s.l.)或中海拔 TMF(2000-3000ma.s.l.),每个海拔起源组都有早演性(ES)和晚演性(LS)树种。我们对树木的生长(直径和高度)和存活率进行了为期两年的定期监测。我们发现,早期演替(ES)树种,尤其是海拔较低的树种,在温度较高的地方生长较快,而晚期演替(LS)树种,尤其是海拔较高的树种,则没有反应或生长较慢。此外,气候变暖增加了LS物种的树木死亡率,但ES物种的死亡率并不高。在气候变暖的地区,起源于过渡雨林的 ES 树种与林分基部面积的比例大幅增加,而 TMF 树种则有所减少,这表明在气候变暖的情况下,低海拔 ES 树种将比高海拔树种更具优势。在气候变暖的情况下,由于嗜热反应,海拔较高的物种和LS物种有可能被海拔较低的物种和ES物种淘汰,这对非洲蒙地森林的生物多样性和碳储存具有重要影响。

Abstract. Recent developments in morphological and morphometric analyses of charcoal particles have improved our ability to discern characteristics of burnt plant fuel and interpret fire-type changes. However, burning experiments linking known plants to these metrics are limited, particularly in open ecosystems. This study presents novel analyses of laboratory-produced charcoal of 22 plant species from the steppe regions of Eurasia (Romania and Russia), along with selected samples from three Holocene charcoal and pollen records from the same areas. We characterise charcoal production, morphologies and morphometrics in these grass-dominated environments, thereby enabling more robust interpretations of fuel sources and fire types for palaeofire research. Our experiments demonstrate that fire temperature can introduce biases in charcoal produced among species. Grass charcoal production was significantly lower and decreased more strongly with fire temperature compared to forbs. This suggests an underrepresentation of terrestrial graminoids in sedimentary charcoal assemblages. Morphometric analyses revealed that graminoid charcoal particles were more elongated (length-to-width ratio L/W=4) and narrower (width-to-length ratio W/L=0.38) than forbs (L/W=3.1 and W/L=0.42, respectively), in agreement with a global compilation for graminoids (L/W=4.3 for grass 5.4 grass and wetland graminoids) and forbs (L/W=2.9). However, overlapping L/W values present a challenge for establishing cut-off values for fuel type identification in charcoal assemblages with mixed fuel sources. Based on our analyses and compiled datasets from experimental burns, L/W values above 3.0 may indicate predominantly herbaceous morphologies in temperate grassland-dominated ecosystems, though values are likely to be higher for grass than forb-dominated grasslands. Notably, terrestrial grasses exhibit shorter aspect ratios (L/W=4.3) than wetland graminoids (L/W=6.4), highlighting that the aspect ratio needs tailoring to the specific environment of its application, i.e. wetland vs. terrestrial ecosystems. The long forms of graminoid charcoal particles also suggest their potential for atmospheric longer-distance transport compared to more spherical particles, meaning they likely provide insights into regional fire history. An important finding is that charcoal of herbaceous plants closely corresponded to the pollen record, highlighting a solid link between the dominant vegetation and fuel burnt in grassland-dominated environments. However, the relationship between woody charcoal and tree pollen may be more complex, as tree pollen can travel atmospherically longer distances compared to woody charcoal. Our results also highlight the complex interplay between local vegetation and charcoal composition with human fire use that needs to be considered when interpreting charcoal morphological records. A critical takeaway from this study is the importance of not assuming the universality of previous
摘要木炭颗粒形态和形态计量分析的最新发展提高了我们辨别燃烧植物燃料特征和解释火灾类型变化的能力。然而,将已知植物与这些指标联系起来的燃烧实验非常有限,尤其是在开放的生态系统中。本研究对来自欧亚草原地区(罗马尼亚和俄罗斯)的 22 种植物的实验室生产的木炭以及来自同一地区的三个全新世木炭和花粉记录的部分样本进行了新颖的分析。我们描述了这些以草为主的环境中的木炭生产、形态和形态计量学特征,从而为古火灾研究提供了更可靠的燃料来源和火灾类型解释。我们的实验证明,火灾温度会导致不同物种产生的木炭出现偏差。与草本植物相比,禾本科植物的木炭产量明显较低,并且随着火灾温度的升高而减少。这表明陆生禾本科植物在沉积木炭组合中的代表性不足。形态分析表明,禾本科木炭颗粒比草本植物(长宽比分别为L/W=3.1和W/L=0.42)更细(长宽比L/W=4)、更窄(长宽比W/L=0.38),这与禾本科(禾本科和湿地禾本科的长宽比分别为4.3和5.4)和草本植物(长宽比L/W=2.9)的全球汇编一致。然而,L/W 值的重叠给确定混合燃料来源木炭组合的燃料类型鉴定临界值带来了挑战。根据我们的分析和实验性燃烧的数据集汇编,L/W 值高于 3.0 可能表明温带草地为主的生态系统中主要是草本形态,尽管草地的 L/W 值可能高于禁草为主的草地。值得注意的是,陆生禾本科植物的长宽比(L/W=4.3)比湿地禾本科植物的长宽比(L/W=6.4)要短,这说明长宽比需要根据具体的应用环境(即湿地与陆生生态系统)进行调整。禾本科木炭颗粒的长形还表明,与球形颗粒相比,禾本科木炭颗粒有可能在大气中进行更长距离的迁移,这意味着禾本科木炭颗粒有可能提供有关区域火灾历史的信息。一个重要的发现是,草本植物的木炭与花粉记录密切相关,这突出表明在以草地为主的环境中,主要植被与燃料燃烧之间存在着牢固的联系。然而,木炭与树木花粉之间的关系可能更为复杂,因为与木炭相比,树木花粉可以在大气中传播更长的距离。我们的研究结果还强调了当地植被和木炭成分与人类用火之间复杂的相互作用,在解释木炭形态记录时需要考虑到这一点。本研究的一个重要启示是,不要假设以前的研究结果具有普遍性,而是要在应用这些技术之前,采用实验方法来描述新生态系统中木炭颗粒的特征。此外,本研究还强调了在新的地理区域开展进一步研究的建议,并提出了方法调整建议,以提高木炭分析在火灾研究中的实用性。

This study presents novel analyses of laboratory-produced charcoal of 22 plant species from the steppe regions of Eurasia (Romania and Russia), along with selected samples from three Holocene charcoal and pollen records from the same areas. We characterise charcoal production, morphologies and morphometrics in these grass-dominated environments, thereby enabling more robust interpretations of fuel sources and fire types for palaeofire research. Our experiments demonstrate that fire temperature can introduce biases in charcoal produced among species. Grass charcoal production was significantly lower and decreased more strongly with fire temperature compared to forbs. This suggests an underrepresentation of terrestrial graminoids in sedimentary charcoal assemblages. Morphometric analyses revealed that graminoid charcoal particles were more elongated (length-to-width ratio L/W=4) and narrower (width-to-length ratio W/L=0.38) than forbs (L/W=3.1 and W/L=0.42, respectively), in agreement with a global compilation for graminoids (L/W=4.3 for grass 5.4 grass and wetland graminoids) and forbs (L/W=2.9). However, overlapping L/W values present a challenge for establishing cut-off values for fuel type identification in charcoal assemblages with mixed fuel sources. Based on our analyses and compiled datasets from experimental burns, L/W values above 3.0 may indicate predominantly herbaceous morphologies in temperate grassland-dominated ecosystems, though values are likely to be higher for grass than forb-dominated grasslands. Notably, terrestrial grasses exhibit shorter aspect ratios (L/W=4.3) than wetland graminoids (L/W=6.4), highlighting that the aspect ratio needs tailoring to the specific environment of its application, i.e. wetland vs. terrestrial ecosystems. The long forms of graminoid charcoal particles also suggest their potential for atmospheric longer-distance transport compared to more spherical particles, meaning they likely provide insights into regional fire history. An important finding is that charcoal of herbaceous plants closely corresponded to the pollen record, highlighting a solid link between the dominant vegetation and fuel burnt in grassland-dominated environments. However, the relationship between woody charcoal and tree pollen may be more complex, as tree pollen can travel atmospherically longer distances compared to woody charcoal. Our results also highlight the complex interplay between local vegetation and charcoal composition with human fire use that needs to be considered when interpreting charcoal morphological records.

Abstract. Sedimentary molybdenum (Mo) and uranium (U) enrichments are often used as redox proxies to reconstruct bottom water redox changes. However, these redox proxies may not be equally reliable across a range of coastal settings due to varying depositional environments. Fjords vary greatly in their depositional conditions, due to their unique bathymetry and hydrography, and are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic and climatic pressures. Currently, it is unknown to what extent Mo and U sequestration is affected by variable depositional conditions in fjords. Here, we use pore water and sequential extraction data to investigate Mo and U enrichment pathways in sediments of two sill fjords on the Swedish west coast with contrasting depositional environments and bottom water redox conditions. Our data suggest that sedimentary authigenic Mo and U pools differ between the two fjords. At the (ir)regularly dysoxic (oxygen = 0.2–2 mL L−1) Gullmar Fjord, authigenic Mo largely binds to manganese (Mn) oxides and to a lesser extent to iron (Fe) oxides; Mo sulfides do not play a major role due to low sulfate reduction rates, which limits the rate of Mo burial. Authigenic U largely resides in carbonates. At the (ir)regularly euxinic (oxygen = 0 mL L−1; total hydrogen sulfide ≥ 0 mL L−1) Koljö Fjord, authigenic Mo is significantly higher due to binding with more refractory organic matter complexes and Mo-Fe-sulfide phases. Uranium is moderately enriched and largely bound to organic matter. We found no direct evidence for temporal changes in bottom water redox conditions reflected in Mo and U enrichments at either Gullmar Fjord or Koljö Fjord. While sulfidic bottom waters favor Mo sequestration at Koljö Fjord, enrichment maxima reflect a combination of depositional conditions rather than short-term low-oxygen events. Our data demonstrate that secondary pre- and post-depositional factors control Mo and U sequestration in fjords to such an extent that bottom water redox conditions are either not being systematically recorded or overprinted. This explains the large variability in trace metal enrichments observed in fjords and has implications for applying Mo and U as proxies for environmental redox reconstructions in such systems.
摘要。沉积钼(Mo)和铀(U)富集度通常被用作氧化还原代用指标,以重建底层水氧化还原变化。然而,由于沉积环境的不同,这些氧化还原代用指标在不同的沿岸环境中可能并不同样可靠。峡湾由于其独特的水深和水文地理环境,沉积条件差异很大,极易受到人为和气候压力的影响。目前,钼和铀的固碳在多大程度上受到峡湾多变沉积条件的影响还不得而知。在这里,我们利用孔隙水和连续萃取数据研究了瑞典西海岸两个峡湾沉积物中钼和铀的富集途径,这两个峡湾的沉积环境和底水氧化还原条件截然不同。我们的数据表明,两个峡湾的沉积自生钼和铀池各不相同。在(非)经常缺氧(氧=0.2-2 mL L-1)的古尔马峡湾,自生钼主要与锰(Mn)氧化物结合,其次与铁(Fe)氧化物结合;由于硫酸盐还原率低,钼硫化物不起主要作用,这限制了钼的埋藏速度。自生铀主要存在于碳酸盐中。在(非)规则富氧(氧= 0 mL L-1;总硫化氢≥ 0 mL L-1)的科尔约峡湾,由于与较难分解的有机物复合物和钼-铁-硫化物相结合,自生钼含量明显较高。铀的富集程度适中,主要与有机物结合。在古尔马峡湾和科尔约峡湾,我们都没有发现底层水氧化还原条件随时间发生变化的直接证据,这反映在钼和铀的富集程度上。虽然硫酸底水有利于钼在科尔约峡湾的固着,但富集的最大值反映了沉积条件的综合变化,而不是短期的低氧事件。我们的数据表明,沉积前和沉积后的次要因素控制着峡湾中钼和铀的螯合,以至于底层水氧化还原条件要么未被系统记录,要么被覆盖。这就解释了在峡湾中观察到的痕量金属富集的巨大差异,并对在这类系统中应用钼和铀作为环境氧化还原重建的代用指标产生了影响。

Abstract. Upscaling chamber measurements of soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes from point scale to landscape scale remain challenging due to the high variability in the fluxes in space and time. This study measured GHG fluxes and soil parameters at selected point locations (n=268), thereby implementing a stratified sampling approach on a mixed-land-use landscape (∼5.8 km2). Based on these field-based measurements and remotely sensed data on landscape and vegetation properties, we used random forest (RF) models to predict GHG fluxes at a landscape scale (1 m resolution) in summer and autumn. The RF models, combining field-measured soil parameters and remotely sensed data, outperformed those with field-measured predictors or remotely sensed data alone. Available satellite data products from Sentinel-2 on vegetation cover and water content played a more significant role than those attributes derived from a digital elevation model, possibly due to their ability to capture both spatial and seasonal changes in the ecosystem parameters within the landscape. Similar seasonal patterns of higher soil/ecosystem respiration (SR/ER–CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes in summer and higher methane (CH4) uptake in autumn were observed in both the measured and predicted landscape fluxes. Based on the upscaled fluxes, we also assessed the contribution of hot spots to the total landscape fluxes. The identified emission hot spots occupied a small landscape area (7 % to 16 %) but accounted for up to 42 % of the landscape GHG fluxes. Our study showed that combining remotely sensed data with chamber measurements and soil properties is a promising approach for identifying spatial patterns and hot spots of GHG fluxes across heterogeneous landscapes. Such information may be used to inform targeted mitigation strategies at the landscape scale.
摘要。由于土壤温室气体通量在空间和时间上的高变异性,从点尺度到景观尺度的土壤温室气体通量室测量结果的放大仍具有挑战性。本研究测量了选定点位(n=268)的温室气体通量和土壤参数,从而在混合土地利用景观(∼5.8 平方公里)上实施了分层取样方法。根据这些实地测量数据以及景观和植被特性遥感数据,我们使用随机森林(RF)模型预测了夏秋季景观尺度(1 米分辨率)的温室气体通量。结合实地测量的土壤参数和遥感数据的随机森林模型优于仅使用实地测量的预测因子或遥感数据的模型。与数字高程模型得出的属性相比,"哨兵-2 "号卫星上关于植被覆盖和含水量的现有卫星数据产品发挥了更重要的作用,这可能是由于它们能够捕捉景观中生态系统参数的空间和季节变化。在测量和预测的景观通量中都观察到了类似的季节性模式,即夏季土壤/生态系统呼吸作用(SR/ER-CO2)和氧化亚氮(N2O)通量较高,秋季甲烷(CH4)吸收量较高。根据放大的通量,我们还评估了热点地区对总景观通量的贡献。已确定的排放热点所占景观面积很小(7% 到 16%),但却占景观温室气体通量的 42%。我们的研究表明,将遥感数据与室内测量结果和土壤特性相结合,是一种很有前途的方法,可用于识别异质景观中温室气体通量的空间模式和热点。这些信息可用于在景观尺度上制定有针对性的减缓战略。

Abstract. Submarine canyons enhance shelf–slope sediment exchange and influence hydrodynamic processes, with consequences for biogeochemical cycles. This work documents variations in the vertical export of biogenic matter on the northern shore of the lower St. Lawrence Estuary (LSLE, Quebec, eastern Canada), which is characterized by the presence of an active submarine canyon system. A total of three moorings were deployed from November 2020 to September 2021. One nearshore mooring (PDMc) was deployed in the main axis of the Pointe-des-Monts (PDM) canyon system and was equipped with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), and two moorings equipped with sediment traps were deployed in the distal PDM canyon system (PDM-154, PDM-224) and offshore Baie-Comeau (BC-133). The ADCP data revealed the occurrence of a minor sediment remobilization event (December 2020) and a small turbidity current (February 2021) in the canyon. Concurrent elevated fluxes of total particulate matter, particulate organic carbon, particulate nitrogen, and chloropigments showed that these events left a signature in sediment traps PDM-154 and PDM-224 located > 2.6 km further offshore by enhancing lateral dispersion of resuspended sediments. The composition of diatom and dinoflagellate assemblages was similar in the canyon system and offshore BC, but the diatom bloom occurred 2 weeks earlier (in mid-April) at the PDM site. A bloom of the potentially toxic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia seriata was also observed during the second half of September 2021 at the BC site. Annual diatom and dinoflagellate fluxes were almost 2 times lower at the PDM site than at the BC site, possibly due to differences in riverine input and the structure of the water column, as well as increased sediment input and resuspension at the PDM site, leading to limited light availability. This study notably helps identify the relationship between near-bed canyon processes and biogenic matter export in the water column, thereby directly influencing the ecosystem offshore PDM. The study period further covered an anomalously nearly ice-free winter, and thus, in the context of climate change, it provides valuable insight into future trends of biogenic matter export in the LSLE.
摘要海底峡谷加强了陆架-陆坡沉积物交换并影响了水动力过程,从而对生物地球化学循环产生了影响。这项研究记录了圣劳伦斯河口下游(加拿大东部魁北克省)北岸生物源物质垂直输出的变化,该地区的特点是存在一个活跃的海底峡谷系统。2020 年 11 月至 2021 年 9 月期间,共部署了三个锚系设备。一个近岸锚系设备(PDMc)部署在 Pointe-Des-Monts(PDM)峡谷系统的主轴上,配备有声学多普勒海流剖面仪(ADCP);两个配备有沉积物捕集器的锚系设备分别部署在 PDM 远端峡谷系统(PDM-154、PDM-224)和 Baie-Comeau 近海(BC-133)。ADCP 数据显示,峡谷中出现了小规模沉积物再移动事件(2020 年 12 月)和小规模浊流(2021 年 2 月)。同时升高的总颗粒物、颗粒有机碳、颗粒氮和氯色素通量表明,这些事件通过加强再悬浮沉积物的横向扩散,在离岸 > 2.6 公里处的沉积物捕集器 PDM-154 和 PDM-224 中留下了痕迹。峡谷系统和不列颠哥伦比亚省近海的硅藻和甲藻群的组成相似,但 PDM 地点的硅藻藻华发生的时间要早两周(4 月中旬)。2021 年 9 月下半月,在 BC 点还观察到了可能有毒的硅藻 Pseudo-nitzschia seriata 的大量繁殖。PDM 地点的硅藻和甲藻年通量几乎是 BC 地点的 2 倍,这可能是由于河流输入和水体结构的不同,以及 PDM 地点沉积物输入和再悬浮的增加导致光照有限。这项研究明显有助于确定近床峡谷过程与水柱中生物物质输出之间的关系,从而直接影响 PDM 近海生态系统。研究期间还涵盖了一个异常的几乎无冰的冬季,因此,在气候变化的背景下,该研究为了解 LSLE 中生物物质输出的未来趋势提供了宝贵的见解。

Abstract. Fatty alcohols (FAs) are major components of surface lipids in plant leaves and serve as surface-active organic aerosols (OAs), which can act as primary biological aerosol particles (PBAPs). To elucidate the origin and formation of secondary fatty alcohols (SFAs) in atmospheric aerosols, their mass size distribution in aerosol samples obtained from a deciduous forest canopy was measured in spring, summer and autumn. The SFAs showed the highest concentration in spring (growing season), with n-nonacosan-10-ol being the most abundant. In spring and summer, the size peak of n-nonacosan-10-ol was in the particle size range >10.0 µm, whereas it was in the 1.9–3.0 µm range in autumn. The size distribution of n-nonacosan-10-ol did not show any significant correlation with that of the known biogenic tracers of pollen, soil and fungal spores in spring and summer. The overall results, together with SFAs measured in plant leaves, as well as the literature, suggest that SFAs originate mostly from plant waxes and that leaf senescence status is likely an important factor controlling the size distribution of SFAs. This study provides new insights into the possible sources of PBAPs and their effects on the ice nucleation activity of aerosols based on seasonal changes in particle size.
摘要。脂肪醇(FAs)是植物叶片表面脂质的主要成分,是表面活性有机气溶胶(OAs),可作为初级生物气溶胶粒子(PBAPs)。为了阐明大气气溶胶中仲脂肪醇(SFAs)的来源和形成,研究人员在春季、夏季和秋季测量了从落叶林树冠中获取的气溶胶样本中仲脂肪醇的质量大小分布。在春季(生长季节),SFAs 的浓度最高,其中正壬-10-醇的含量最高。在春季和夏季,n-壬碳散-10-醇的粒径峰值在大于 10.0 µm 的范围内,而在秋季则在 1.9-3.0 µm 的范围内。正壬聚糖-10-醇的粒径分布与已知的花粉、土壤和真菌孢子等生物示踪剂在春季和夏季的粒径分布没有明显的相关性。总体结果与在植物叶片中测量到的 SFAs 以及文献一起表明,SFAs 主要来源于植物蜡质,叶片衰老状态可能是控制 SFAs 大小分布的一个重要因素。这项研究根据颗粒大小的季节性变化,就 PBAPs 的可能来源及其对气溶胶冰核活性的影响提供了新的见解。

Abstract. Mountainous rivers are critical in transporting dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from terrestrial environments to downstream ecosystems. However, how geomorphologic factors and anthropogenic impacts control the composition and export of DOC in mountainous rivers remains largely unclear. Here, we explore DOC dynamics in three subtropical mountainous catchments (i.e., the Yinjiang, Shiqian, and Yuqing catchments) in southwest China, which are heavily influenced by anthropogenic activities. Water chemistry, stable and radioactive carbon isotopes of DOC (δ13CDOC and Δ14CDOC), and optical properties (UV absorbance and fluorescence spectra) were employed to assess the biogeochemical processes and controlling factors on riverine DOC. The radiocarbon ages of DOC in the Yinjiang River varied widely from 928 years BP to the present. Stepwise multiple regression analyses and partial least square path models revealed that geomorphology and anthropogenic activities were the major drivers controlling DOC concentrations and DOM characteristics. Catchments with higher catchment slope gradients were characterized by lower DOC concentrations, enriched δ13CDOC and Δ14CDOC, and more aromatic dissolved organic matter (DOM), which were opposite to catchments with gentle catchment slopes. Variabilities in DOC concentrations were also regulated by land use, with higher DOC concentrations in urban and agricultural areas. Furthermore, DOM in catchments with a higher proportion of urban and agricultural land uses was less aromatic, less recently produced, and exhibited a higher degree of humification and more autochthonous humic-like DOM. This research highlights the significance of incorporating geomorphologic controls on DOC sources and anthropogenic impacts on DOM composition into the understanding of DOC dynamics and the quality of DOM in mountainous rivers, which are globally abundant.
摘要山区河流是将溶解有机碳(DOC)从陆地环境输送到下游生态系统的关键。然而,地貌因素和人为影响如何控制山区河流中溶解有机碳的组成和输出在很大程度上仍不清楚。在此,我们探讨了受人为活动影响较大的中国西南部三个亚热带山区集水区(即印江、石阡和余庆集水区)的 DOC 动态变化。采用水化学、DOC的稳定碳同位素和放射性碳同位素(δ13CDOC和δ14CDOC)以及光学性质(紫外吸收光谱和荧光光谱)来评估河流DOC的生物地球化学过程和控制因素。结果表明,从公元前 928 年到现在,印江 DOC 的放射性碳年代差异很大。逐步多元回归分析和偏最小二乘法路径模型显示,地貌和人类活动是控制 DOC 浓度和 DOM 特征的主要驱动因素。集水坡度较大的集水区 DOC 浓度较低,δ13CDOC 和 Δ14CDOC富集,芳香族溶解有机物(DOM)较多,这与集水坡度较缓的集水区相反。溶解有机物浓度的变化也受土地利用的影响,城市和农业区的溶解有机物浓度较高。此外,在城市和农业用地比例较高的集水区,DOM 的芳香度较低,产生时间较短,腐殖化程度较高,自生腐殖样 DOM 较多。这项研究强调了将地貌对 DOC 来源的控制和人类活动对 DOM 组成的影响纳入对 DOC 动态和全球山区河流 DOM 质量的理解中的重要意义。

Mountainous rivers are critical in transporting dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from terrestrial environments to downstream ecosystems. However, how geomorphologic factors and anthropogenic impacts control the composition and export of DOC in mountainous rivers remains largely unclear. Here, we explore DOC dynamics in three subtropical mountainous catchments (i.e., the Yinjiang, Shiqian, and Yuqing catchments) in southwest China, which are heavily influenced by anthropogenic activities. Water chemistry, stable and radioactive carbon isotopes of DOC (δ13CDOC and Δ14CDOC), and optical properties (UV absorbance and fluorescence spectra) were employed to assess the biogeochemical processes and controlling factors on riverine DOC. The radiocarbon ages of DOC in the Yinjiang River varied widely from 928 years BP to the present. Stepwise multiple regression analyses and partial least square path models revealed that geomorphology and anthropogenic activities were the major drivers controlling DOC concentrations and DOM characteristics. Catchments with higher catchment slope gradients were characterized by lower DOC concentrations, enriched δ13CDOC and Δ14CDOC, and more aromatic dissolved organic matter (DOM), which were opposite to catchments with gentle catchment slopes. Variabilities in DOC concentrations were also regulated by land use, with higher DOC concentrations in urban and agricultural areas. Furthermore, DOM in catchments with a higher proportion of urban and agricultural land uses was less aromatic, less recently produced, and exhibited a higher degree of humification and more autochthonous humic-like DOM. This research highlights the significance of incorporating geomorphologic controls on DOC sources and anthropogenic impacts on DOM composition into the understanding of DOC dynamics and the quality of DOM in mountainous rivers, which are globally abundant.\u0000","PeriodicalId":8899,"journal":{"name":"Biogeosciences","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138970580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
