The CO2 flux from soil is an important component of global carbon cycle,and a small variation of soil CO2 flux can
prominently influence atmospheric CO2 concentration and soil organic carbon stock. Soil erosion significantly influences soil CO2
emission. However,the process of soil CO2 flux during soil erosion and soil deposition remains uncertain. At the present study,a
simulated experiment on soil erosion and deposition was conducted at Changwu State Key Agro-Ecological Station,Shaanxi,China.
From July to September in 2014 and 2015,soil CO2 flux was periodically measured using an automated CO2 flux system LI-8100 ( LICOR,
Lincoln,NE,USA) and soil temperature and moisture were collected by series data collection system of soil temperature and
soil moisture ( EM50,DECAGON,USA) . The measurement frequency of soil CO2 flux was once a week during 09: 00 and 11: 00. Soil
temperature and soil moisture of 10 cm topsoil were measured continuously ( at an interval of 30 minutes) during the experiment. At the
same time,runoff and sediment were collected as well in each rain event,and then SOC content in sediment was measured. The results
showed that soil CO2 flux between erosion and deposition sites had a significant difference ( P < 0. 05) ,and soil CO2 flux at deposition
site [mean value 1. 38 μmol·( m2·s) - 1]was 31% higher than that of soil CO2 flux at deposition site [1. 05 μmol·( m2·s) - 1 ],while
temperature sensitivity at deposition site ( Q10
: 8. 14) was 3 times as high as that at erosion site ( 2. 34) . Soil moisture at deposition
site was 19% higher than that at erosion site ( P < 0. 05) . Soil temperature was slightly higher at erosion site. The average SOC content
( 7. 26 g·kg - 1 ) increased by 6% in the sediment compared with the initial SOC content ( 6. 83 g·kg - 1 ) . Soil moisture and SOC
redistribution across erosion and deposition sites were influencing factors for soil CO2 flux under erosional environment. In conclusion,
soil CO2 flux showed a significant variation at erosion site and deposition site. Changes in soil moisture and SOC contributed much to
the difference in soil CO2 flux across erosion and deposition sites.
