Stem flow chemistry of Picea glehnii,Abies sachalinensis and Alnus japonica and its effect on the peat pore water chemistry in an ombrogenous mire in Ochiishi,eastern Hokkaido,Japan

We investigated the chemical properties of stemflow of Picea glehnii,Abies sachalinensis and Alnus japonica as well as peat pore water chemistry,including the distance and depth profiles of pore water chemistry,in an ombrogenous mire.The effect of stemflow on the peat pore water chemistry was clear at the stem base in the peat forest in the mire,and the peat pore water around the stem base of a tree had its own chemical properties specific to each species.P.glehnii showed the highest concentration of salts both in stemflow and peat-pore water,whereas A.japonica showed the lowest concentrations;however,the gradient of the chemical environment from the stem base to outside of the canopy is formed.The peat pore water chemistry under the canopy was mainly controlled by the chemical processes diluted by the abundant peat pore water;the stemflow movement in the high water content of the peat was more slowly because of the flat topography（〈 1o）.This would be due to the fact that the chemicals in stemflow would be diluted by the abundant peat pore water.The spatial heterogeneity of chemical environment between microsites within forested peatland would be also contributed indirectly through the control of microorganism activity,and nutrient regeneration mediated the surface water and the stemflow of the dominant canopy trees.

神农架大九湖泥炭地溶解有机碳季节性变化及其影响因素

亚热带泥炭地在水源涵养、碳储存和生物多样性等方面有着重要的保护价值。溶解有机碳(DOC)是泥炭地中容易受到外界扰动的一部分碳,在气候变化和人类活动的双重影响下,DOC可能通过降解或横向迁移从泥炭地中流失,潜在地威胁了泥炭地的碳储存功能。然而,目前对于亚热带泥炭地DOC如何响应季节性尺度的环境变化还缺乏深入的认识。以位于北亚热带的神农架大九湖泥炭地为研究对象,开展了季节尺度的泥炭孔隙水DOC浓度和紫外-可见吸收光谱特征以及环境参数的监测。结果显示,在大九湖泥炭地中,表层0~10 cm的泥炭孔隙水DOC浓度和光谱参数具有明显的季节差异性,DOC浓度和光谱参数还表现出明显的深度差异性。相关性分析显示,DOC浓度及紫外-可见吸收光谱参数直接受控于泥炭孔隙水的电导率和氨态氮浓度,可能还间接受到泥炭地水位和孔隙水硝态氮浓度等因素的影响。以上结果表明,在亚热带季风气候条件下,季节性水位波动引起的泥炭水化学参数和营养盐的变化,可能显著改变表层泥炭DOC动态,需要重视这种季节性波动对亚热带泥炭地碳储存能力以及生态功能的影响。

神农架大九湖泥炭地孔隙水溶解有机碳特征及其影响因素

溶解性有机碳(Dissolved Organic Carbon,DOC)是泥炭地碳循环的重要组成部分。以往的研究大多集中在北方泥炭地,而对亚热带季风区泥炭地DOC动力学的认识十分有限。利用紫外可见光光谱(UVVis)和三维荧光光谱结合平行因子分析法(EEM-PARAFAC)研究了神农架大九湖泥炭地孔隙水的DOC浓度与化学组成及其影响因素。EEM-PARAFAC的结果表明:大九湖泥炭地孔隙水DOC主要包含3种类腐殖质组分。紫外可见光和荧光指标表明,泥炭孔隙水DOC表观分子较小,而芳香度较高。深度剖面数据表明,泥炭孔隙水DOC浓度随深度降低,0~10 cm深度浓度最高为24. 16 mg/L,150~160 cm深度浓度最低为9. 72 mg/L,并且深层DOC以微生物代谢产生的新鲜有机物为主,具有较低的腐殖化度。此外,氧化还原电位(ORP)与DOC浓度及化学性质关系密切。以上结果表明,在亚热带泥炭地中,微生物来源或受微生物改造的有机物是泥炭孔隙水DOC的重要组成部分;垂向输送或选择性保存是影响该亚热带亚高山泥炭地DOC动力学的重要因素。
