CH4 emissions partially offset net ecosystem CO2 uptake in the Cyperus malaccensis salt marsh in Min River estuary

摘要: 滨海盐沼生态系统具有高效的固碳-储碳能力,但同时也是不可忽视的甲烷(CH4)排放源。全球变暖潜势(global warming potential, GWP)为衡量单位质量温室气体在一定时间尺度内,相对于 CO2的增温效应的指标,长时间尺度下CH4 的GWP明显高于二氧化碳(CO2)。科学量化滨海盐沼CH4排放对其生态系统净CO2吸收的抵消强度以及精确测定其生态系统碳汇速率,对于区域尺度滨海蓝碳生态系统碳汇规模的评估至关重要。本研究运用“透明箱+不同遮光率布罩+痕量气体红外分析仪+模型”组合技术,高频观测和评估闽江河口短叶茳芏(Cyperus malaccensis)盐沼生态系统净CO2交换(net ecosystem exchange of CO2, NEE)、生态系统呼吸(ecosystem respiration, ER),并同步观测CH4排放通量,以期量化短叶茳芏盐沼年尺度碳汇速率及CH4排放对生态系统净CO2吸收的抵消比例。短叶茳芏盐沼NEE具有显著的季节波动,各月份均大气CO2净吸收汇,年尺度NEE为−
5970.2 ± 895.9 g CO2/(m2·a),年CH4排放通量为18.5 ± 0.2 g CH4/(m2·a)。综合考虑CH4排放的GWP20和 GWP100,短叶茳芏盐沼生态系统碳汇速率分别为4543.5 和5486.8g CO2−eq /(m2·a),CH4排放对生态系统净CO2吸收的抵消比例分别为25.7%和8.7%。闽江河口短叶茳芏盐沼CH4排放虽然部分抵消其生态系统净CO2吸收,但是仍具有较强的碳汇功能,在减缓全球气候变暖过程中发挥着重要作用。Abstract: Coastal salt marsh ecosystems exhibit high efficiency in carbon fixation and storage, but they are also non-negligible sources of methane (CH4) emissions. Global Warming Potential (GWP) is an indicator that measures the warming effect of a unit mass of greenhouse gas relative to CO2 over a specific time horizon. The GWP of CH4 over long timescales is significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide (CO2). Therefore, scientific quantification of offset intensity of net ecosystem CO2 uptake by CH4 emissions in coastal salt marshes and accurate determination of ecosystem carbon sink rates are crucial to assess the carbon sink magnitude of blue carbon ecosystems at regional scales. This study employed a combination of techniques, including a “transparent chamber combined with shades of varying light transmittance, trace gas infrared analyzers, and modeling” to conduct high-frequency observations and assessment of the net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) and ecosystem respiration (ER) in the Cyperus malaccensis salt marsh of the Minjiang River Estuary, simultaneously, also measured the CH4 fluxes , and finally quantified the annual carbon sink rate of the C. malaccensis salt marsh and the offset of net ecosystem CO2 uptake by CH4 emissions. NEE of the C. malaccensis salt marsh exhibited significant seasonal variation, with net atmospheric CO2 uptake occurring in all months. The annual NEE was −5970.2 ± 895.9 g CO2/(m2·a). and the annual CH4 flux was 18.5 ± 0.2 g CH4/(m2·a). Considering theGWP20 and GWP100, the ecosystem carbon sink rates of the C. malaccensis salt marsh were4543.47 and5486.8 g CO2-eq/(m2·a), respectively. The offset ratios of net ecosystem CO2 uptake by CH4 emissions were 25.7% and 8.7%, respectively. Although CH4 emissions partially offset the net ecosystem CO2 uptake in the C. malaccensis salt marsh of the Minjiang River Estuary, the C. malaccensis salt marsh ecosystem still exhibits a strong carbon sink function, and plays a significant role in mitigating global climate warming. -
