Simulation of Evapotranspiration Based on BEPS-TerrainLab V2.0 from 1990 to 2018 in the Dajiuhu Basin

Accurate estimations of evapotranspiration(ET)are essential for understanding land-atmosphere coupling and atmosphere-underlying surface energy and water vapor exchanges.Based on input data processing,this paper simulates the temporal and spatial variation of ET in the Dajiuhu Basin from 1990 to 2018 using the BEPS-Terrain Lab V2.0 model.Compared with the ET measured by an eddy covariance(EC)tower,the model explained 80.1%of the ET variation.From 1990 to 2018,the average annual ET in the Dajiuhu Basin was 1262.7 mm/yr indicating a downward trend(–27.12 mm/yr).In 2005,a sudden change point was observed based on the Mann-Kendall(MK)test and 3-year moving t-test.Around 2005,the downward trend in ET slowed and the proportional trend of ET to precipitation changed from upward trend to downward trend.Regarding spatial distribution,the ET in the basin’s central part was smaller than that in the basin’s surrounding area,the ET of the southern slope was higher than that of the northern slope,and the decrease in the ET rate on the sunny side was lower than that on the shady side.ET decreased as the elevation increased,with the fastest decrease observed between 2184 and 2384 m.For different landcover types,the average ET exhibited the following order:deciduous forest>mixed forest>wetland>grass>agriculture land.Decreased solar radiation is the main reason for the decreased ET in the Dajiuhu Basin,followed by increased wind speed and relative humidity,which together contribute 83.9%to the ET trend.This paper provides a theoretical basis for the study of ET changes and the mechanism of ET and provides a decision-making reference for water resource management in the Dajiuhu Basin and even the South-to-North Water Transfer Project.

Composition and Function of Bacterial Communities of Bryophytes and Their Underlying Sediments in the Dajiuhu Peatland, Central China

Symbiotic microbiomes of Sphagnum have been confirmed to play a fundamental role in carbon and nitrogen cycles, however, little is known about microbiomes associated with other bryophytes in subtropical peatland ecosystems. To explore the differences in community structure, metabolic potential and interaction relationship of bacterial microbiomes associated with different bryophytes species, the gametophytes of three bryophyte species(Sphagnum palustre, Aulacomnium androgynum, and Polytrichum commune) and their underlying peat sediments were collected from the subtropical Dajiuhu Peatland and subjected to Illumina high-throughout sequencing of 16S r RNA gene. Results showed that bacterial diversity was lowest in S. palustre, the dominant moss species, among the three moss species investigated in Dajiuhu Peatland. Bacterial communities from bryophytes clearly separated with those from sediments as indicated by both phylogenetic and taxonomical approaches. Linear discriminant analysis effect size(LEf Se) identified 30 and 36 indicator taxa in mosses and peat sediments. Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia and Thermoleophilia significantly enriched in S. palustre, A. androgynum and P. commune, Chloroflexi, Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria subgroup 6 was indicator taxa for corresponding underlying sediments, respectively. Despite of these differences in compositions, bacterial functional structures were similar among all bryophytes, such as abundant aerobic heterotrophs, rare nitrifiers and denitrifiers. This phenomenon was also observed among the underlying sediments. Network analysis indicated that Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria located in the center of network and exerted strong interactions to other taxa. The sub-network of bacterial communities in sediments was more connected and microbial groups were more competitive than those in bryophytes subnetwork. Our results offer new insight into the community structure, ecological function and interaction pattern of bacterial microbiomes in the Dajiuhu Peatland across different habitats.

High-resolution geochemistry records of climate changes since late-glacial from Dajiuhu peat in Shennongjia Mountains,Central China

A peat core with depths of 297 cm was obtained from the Dajiuhu Basin(31°29′27″N,109°59′45″E,1760 m)in Hubei Province,Central China.10 AMS ages provide a time control and reveal that this core spans the past about 16.0 kaBP(calibrated age)(1 4C age:13.3 kaBP).Multi-proxy indexes analysis of geochemistry shows the following character of climate and environmental changes since about 16 kaBP:(1) The climate during the late-glacial period was cold and wet as a whole,but fluctuated continually.11.4- 12.6 cal.kaBP,12.6-15.2 cal.kaBP and 15.2-16 kaBP were corresponding respectively to the Younger Drays,Bφlling-Allerφd Warm Period and the Oldest Drays.(2)Inheriting the some climate characteristics of the late-glacial,the climate during the early-Holocene was wet and temperature increased gradually,during which an obvious dry event around 10.6 cal.kaB appeared.(3)The climate during the mid-Holocene was genarally warm and wet.During 9.2-7.5 kaBP,temperature increased gradually, precipitation was less comparatively and the 8.2 kaBP cold event which might be representative in the globe was reflected markedly.Then,multi-proxy records were relatively stable during 6.7-4.2 kaBP, which shows the best water and thermal condition in the Holocene Optimum.(4)Around 4.2 kaBP,the climate and environment transform from warm and wet to cool and dry,which may result in the collapse of the Neolithic Culture and midwifery the civilization of Xia Dynasty in this region.After 0.9 kaBP,the climate turned cool and wet.Climate and environmental changes archived in Dajiuhu peat respond to the global changes since the late-glacial period and can be contrasted to the changes recorded in other high-resolution archives from the East Asia Monsoon region,which take on the variety model that the monsoon strengthened abruptly after the late-glacial,was strong during the early Holocene,subse- quently declined and became weak after the middle Holocene with dry climate.According to our analysis,the driving mechanism should be the response of solar radiation changes in the East Asia Monsoon region at middle latitudes.

Spore-pollen-climate factor transfer function and paleoenvironment reconstruction in Dajiuhu,Shennongjia,Central China

The identified results of 121 surface sediment spore-pollen samples in Shennongjia and meteorological data base of 30 years(January,1971―December,2000)of 7 meteorological stations around Dajiuhu, Shennongjia are used in this study.Selecting 55 species of common spore-pollen with the method of space fitting and stepwise regression we construct the pollen climate factor transfer function of annual mean tem- perature:T=7.649-2.33097X Abies -0.10873X Betula -0.17352X Compositae -0.13176X Cruciferae +0.13356XEuphorbiaceae -0.83069X Campanulaceae +1.96494XPyrrosia+0.38411XPteris+2.77741XSelaginella+0.04439XMonolites.We had reconstructed annual mean temperature series by use of the sporo-pollen samples concentra-tion percentage in peat section with 297 cm thickness in Dajiuhu since 15.753 kaBP.The temperature series reflect well the character of climatic change since the late glacial,which indicates extreme cold climate event of the Oldest Dryas,the Older Dryas,the Younger Dryas and the 8.2 kaBP,the same to the climate fluctuations of Bolling Warm Period and Allerod Warm Period,and the character of temperature change fluctuating frequently at the transition age from the late glacial to the Holocene.The reconstructed temperature also indicate Holocene Optimum,late Holocene warm-dry climate,and the character of climatic change in Dajiuhu in the last 1 ka.The conclusion is that the sporo-pollen samples have important climatic significance to surface sediment and the section of Dajiuhu,Shennongjia and important reference value to studying climatic change during the last glaciation by the temperature transfer function and reconstructed temperature series.

神农架大九湖湿地摇蚊群落组成及其环境指示意义

泥炭地是一种水-陆过渡型的湿地生态系统。水体沼泽化过程中,植被等生物群落也随之改变,进而影响泥炭地碳埋藏和发育过程。作为泥炭地生态系统重要的次级生产者,摇蚊群落结构变迁可以为追溯泥炭地环境演变和发育历史提供关键线索。泥炭地在发育过程中将经历各种不同阶段,然而,现有的泥炭地摇蚊群落调查仅限于泥炭生境或泥炭地中开阔水域,较短的生境梯度不足以提供更为全面的摇蚊群落变化信息。神农架大九湖湿地包含泥炭地、湖泊、临时性水体等多种生境,本研究选择该湿地公园作为研究区域,通过采集不同生境的表层沉积物及水体样品,提取底泥亚化石摇蚊头壳,分析大九湖湿地中不同生境下的摇蚊群落结构差异,并对其与环境因子间的关系进行探讨。结果表明:1)大九湖湿地不同生境中摇蚊优势种迥异,泥炭藓藓丘生境中Limnophyes、Psilometriocnemus、Pseudosmittia等半陆生种类为主要优势种,湖泊生境中则以典型静水种Polypedilum nubeculosum-type为主要优势种,而过渡性水域(泥炭地洼地、沟渠及水洼生境)中,静水种与半陆生种共存;2)烧失量、水位埋深和p H是塑造不同生境类型下摇蚊群落结构的显著环境因子,水文条件主要通过改变碳积累过程等其他环境条件间接影响生物群落组成;3)沿水生-半陆生生境梯度,有机质含量和类型均发生显著变化,而摇蚊群落也由静水种、静水/半陆生共存转变为以半陆生种为主,摇蚊群落对生境变化表现出良好的响应过程。本研究揭示了不同生境条件下摇蚊群落的结构差异及影响摇蚊群落结构的潜在因子,为未来基于摇蚊的长时间尺度上泥炭地发育过程分析提供参考依据。

Ecology of testate amoebae in Dajiuhu peatland of Shennongjia Mountains, China, in relation to hydrology

This study investigates the testate amoeba communities of a large peatland in Central China. The ecology and seasonal variability of testate amoeba communities were studied during 2009-2010. Investiga- tion of environmental controls using ordination showed that the relationship between testate amoeba communities and depth to water table （DWT） and pH are extremely weak. The small proportion of variance explained by water table depth here （only 1.9% in the full data） shows that the hydrological control is weaker than we expected in this peatland, and weaker than any study we are aware of using a similar methodology. Attempts to develop species- environment （transfer function） models or identify indi- cator species for future palaeoecological studies were unsuccessful. Previous large-scale studies of peatland testate amoeba ecology have been largely restricted to Europe and North America and results have been relatively consistent among studies. Our results contrast with this consensus and suggest that at least in minerotrophic peatlands in China testate amoeba communities may be primarily controlled by different environmental variables. In China, testate amoebae have been relatively little studied but may prove to be valuable for a variety of applications in palaeoecology and biomonitoring and much further work is required.

Temporal and Spatial Variations of Microbial Carbon Utilization in Water Bodies from the Dajiuhu Peatland, Central China

To investigate the microbial utilization of organic carbon in peatland ecosystem, water samples were collected from the Dajiuhu Peatland and nearby lakes, central China across the year of 2014. The acridine orange （AO） staining and Biolog Eco microplates were used to numerate microbial counts and determine the carbon utilization of microbial communities. Meanwhile, physicochemical characteristics were measured for subsequent analysis of the correlation between microbial carbon utilization and environmental factors. Results indicated that total microbial counts were between 106107 cells/L. Microbial diversities and carbon utilization rates showed a similar pattern, highest in September and lowest in November. Microbial communities in the peat pore waters preferred to utilize N-bearing carbon sources such as amines and amino acids compared with microbial communities in lakes. The network analysis of microbial utilization of 31 carbon substrates clearly distinguished microbial communities from peat pore waters and those from lakes. Redundancy analysis （RDA） showed the total organic nitrogen content （P=-0.03, F=2.5） and daily average temperature （P=0.034, F=2.4） significantly controlled microbial carbon utilization throughout the sampling period. Our report is the first one to address the temporal and spatial variations of carbon uti- lization of microbial communities which are closely related to the decomposition of organic matter in the Dajiuhu Peatland in context of climate warming.

Methane Flux and Its Environmental Impact Factors in Dajiuhu Wetland of Shennongjia

Methane(CH4) flux was measured by using the Eddy covariance technique in the Dajiuhu Wetland of Shennongjia Forestry District, Hubei Province, China. The seasonal and daily variation of CH4 emissions was investigated, and the correlation of CH4 fluxes with the environmental impact factors were discussed to understand the activity of CH4 flux and the effects of environmental factors including air temperature, soil temperature, photosynthetic photon flux density(PPFD), and rainfall on a wetland ecosystem. The results indicated that CH4 flux was significantly correlated with air temperature and photosynthetic photon flux density(PPFD), which may be the primary driver of controlling peatland CH4 flux.

Climatological Significance of Pollen Factors Revealed by Pollen-Climate Response Surface Functions in Dajiuhu,Shennongjia

Quantitative reconstructions of the mean July temperature and annual precipitation are performed based on pollen percentage contents from surface and stratum pollen samples,together with vertical meteorological observations across 700-2800 m in Dajiuhu,Shennongjia in Hubei Province of China.Canonical correspondence analysis and robust locally weighted regression of surface pollen samples are employed to investigate the relationship between plants and climate,and to build the seven pollen-climate response surface functions. Reconstructed results of the stable type assemblage exhibit the climate evolution since the Late-Glacial Period, including the B（？）lling-Aller（？）d warm episode,Younger Dryas cold episode,Climatic Optimum,and cold events in 8 and 6.5 ka BP.The ranges of the mean July temperature and annual precipitation have been about 5℃and 300 mm since the Late-Glacial Period.Analysis of temperature and humidity reveals that Climatic Optimum with high temperature and precipitation occurred during early Holocene and former mid-Holocene,corresponding to the high resolution records in the low latitude region.The results indicate that the pollen-climate response surface functions are capable to valuate the comprehensive influence of temperature and precipitation on pollen content and can be used to reconstruct the past climate from pollen data.

Re-recognition of the Dajiuhu Wetland in Shennongjia Mountains,Central China

The Dajiuhu wetland,a famous sub-alpine wetland located in the the Shennongjia Mountains,north-subtropical region of Central China,has suffered from adverse impacts of unsustainable human practices over the past 60 years.The Dajiuhu wetland reflects the development process that has been accompanied by human activities.Based on field survey data,high resolution remote sensing image and historical records,the present paper provided a review on exploitation and restoration of the wetland.The results showed that the Dajiuhu wetland degraded quickly from 1950 to 2005.During that time,bog shrinkage,lake disappearance,biodiversity decline,sphagnum reduction,and vegetation succession from wetland communities to terrestrial communities in the Dajiuhu wetland,which were the main manifestations of the wetland degradation.Human activities,such as agricultural reclamation and construction of drainage works,have been the main factors resulting in ecological degradation of the wetland since 1986.Poverty and the short-term economic benefits had been the driving forces for wetland drainage and reclamation over the past years.

Vertical variations and associated ecological function of bacterial communities from Sphagnum to underlying sediments in Dajiuhu Peatland

To investigate vertical changes of bacterial communities from living plants to the associated sediments and bacterial biogeochemical roles in peatland ecosystem,samples of different part of individual Sphagnum palustre and the different layers of the underlying sediments were collected from Dajiuhu Peatland in central China.All samples were subject to 16S rRNA gene clone libraries and quantitative PCR analysis.Even though bacteria vary in abundance at the same order of magnitude in all samples,they show great profile difference in composition from the top part of S.palustre to the low layer of the sediments.Cyanobacteria and alpha-Proteobacteria dominate at the top part whereas Acidobacteria at the middle part of S.palustre.Alpha-Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria are the dominant phyla at the bottom part of S.palustre and in the surface peat sediment.In contrast,bacterial communities in the subsurface sediments are dominated by Acidobacteria.These profile distributions of different bacterial communities are closely related to their ecological functions in the peatland ecosystem.Specifically,most Cyanobacteria were observed at the top green part of S.palustre,a horizon where the active photosynthesis of the moss occurs,which infers their endosymbiosis.In contrast,Acidobacteria,dominant in the subsurface sediments,are able to decompose the specific compounds on the cell wall of Sphagnum moss and thus might play an important role in the formation of the peatland,including the acidic condition.Methane oxidizing process might have been underestimated in Sphagnum peatland due to the identification of Methylocystaceae in all parts of the moss investigated here.The vertical difference in bacterial composition and bacterial ecological functions presented here sheds light on the understanding of biogeochemical processes,in particular the CH4 flux,in peat ecosystems.
