其他摘要 | Soil respiration is an important ecological process of terrestrial ecosystem carbon
cycling , Erosion influence the global carbon budget in the terrestrial ecosystem. But the
variation of soil respiration under conditions of erosion and its influencing factors is unclear.
Based on the analysis on the characteristics of eroded soil respiration ,we simulated the splash
erosion and explored the factors that affect the splash erosion of soil respiration ,then we
selected alfalfa farmland under pasture conditions and to understand the impact of soil erosion
on soil organic carbon storage volume.
Relying on Chang Wu station and based on similar vegetation and management
conditions , we monitored the soil respiration , soil temperature and soil moisture changes in
( 2011 - 2013 )in sloping and plateau orchard surface , the variation and interannual variations
and differences in factors of non-seasonal erosion and erosion under conditions of soil
respiration was analysis; then we simulated the splash erosion in Chinese Academy of
Sciences and Water Conservation artificial rainfall hall. we set a fixed rainfall intensity
conditions:Covered by the rail network as non- splash erosion and non-covered as the splash
erosion. After rainfall, we monitored the soil respiration , soil temperature, soil moisture and
changes in soil particle aggregates to research splash erosion on soil organic carbon
mineralization decomposition of its influencing factors. From March 2011 to December 2012,
CO2 efflux from the soil surface was measured from 8:00 to 10:00 am in clear days by a
Licor-8100 closed chamber system (Li-COR, Lincoln, NE, US). Also, soil temperature and
soil moisture at the 5cm depth was measured using a Li-Cor thermocouple and a hand-held
frequency-domain reflectometer(ML2x, Delta-T Devices Ltd, UK) at each PVC collar,
respectively.
The main results are as follows:
Compared with the plateau surface , soil respiration in sloping orchard is reduced
but the Q 10 is higher.
Soil respiration in Plateau Orchard and sloping Orchard are differences . Average soil
respiration rate in Plateau orchard is 2.11 μmol • m -2 s -1 , above the hillside orchard (1.60 μmol
• m -2 s -1 ) 32%, and usually after April , the soil respiration gap between the two treatments
begins to increase , to October , the gap decreases , which , in 2013 the biggest difference
between the two soil respiration rates , up to 40 %. Average cumulative soil respiration in
Plateau orchard is 570.58 g CO 2 • m -2 , above the slope orchard (443.39 g CO 2 • m -2 ) 29%. In
2013, the cumulative respiration differences was maximum as 50% and the smallest
difference in 2012 , is 16 %.
The influencing factors of soil temperature , soil moisture are also differences : the
average soil moisture content in plateau (16.86%) is 20% higher than slope orchard surface
( 14.08% ); during the three years of observation, highest average soil temperature in slope
was 15.74 ℃, higher than the plateau surface (15.02 ℃) 5%, which in 2011 and 2013 , the
average soil temperature in hillside orchard is above Plateau orchard, and in 2012, the average
soil temperature in plateau surface orchard and hillside orchard is close ( Plateau 15.83 ℃,
sloping 14.50 ℃).
Soil respiration was significantly exponentially with the soil temperature , but the
relationship between soil moisture and soil respiration is more complicated. Despite the soil
respiration in plateau surface is above the hillside orchard , but the temperature coefficient of
sensitivity Q 10 in hillside orchard is above the plateau surface orchard, average Q 10 in hillside
orchard was 1.79 , higher than the plateau surface orchard ( 1.67 ) 7%.
Splash erosion influences the soil respiration rate , and reduces soil carbon
reservoir capacity.
Under the same rainfall intensity (90 mm/h), the soil respiration rate are differences
between non- splash erosion and splash erosion , and the gap is a certain related to the rainfall
duration :
soil respiration under splash erosion conditions is higher than non- splash erosion
conditions , the gap in 10 minutes rainfall duration is greater than 5 minutes duration. In 5
minutes rainfall duration , the soil respiration rate in the two treatment are both between 0.75
~ 1.65 μmol • m -2 s -1 , the average soil respiration rate of the non-covered condition is 1.25
μmol • m -2 s -1 , and the average soil respiration rate of the covered one is 1.20 μmol • m -2 s -1 ,
which is 4% higher than the former . in the Initial measurement of soil respiration , only little difference between two treatments (1%), the maximum difference was in the morning on
September 5 , the soil respiration in plateau is higher than the slope orchard of 14%.
Under 10 minutes rainfall duration, soil respiration rate in two treatments is both
between 0.97 to 1.61 μmol • m -2 s -1 , all 10 sets of data showed that the splash erosion
respiration rate is higher than the non-splash treatment. The average soil respiration rate of the
non-covered treatment is 1.42 μmol • m -2 s -1 , and the covered treatment is 1.21 μmol • m -2 s -1 ,
which is 17% higher than the former . In 10 minutes duration, the difference between the two
treatment in soil respiration was significantly higher than five minutes rainfall. In the initial ,
the maximum difference is up to 28% , and with the extension of the measurement time , the
minimum difference is just 6 %.
Under conditions of splash erosion , soil aggregates crushing impact the
decomposition of organic carbon mineralization
In Splash erosion process, raindrops would have an impact on the soil aggregates
particles. and mainly affects the soil aggregate of size 0.01 mm or below. Soil aggregates
particles content in this size is higher than the non-splash one. Before the rain , soil aggregates
content of 0.01 mm or below was 32.5%, and after the raindrops hit, soil aggregates dispersed,
the soil particles smaller than 0.01 mm were both increased : in 5 minutes rainfall duration,
soil aggregates content of 0.01 mm or below of the covered increased to 36.3% ,and the the
exposed treatment to 37.5% ,respectively 12% and 14% increase compared with the one
before rain; and under 10 minutes rainfall , soil aggregates content of 0.01 mm or below of
covered is 35.5% ,and the non-covered is 36.2% , respectively 9 % and 11 % increased
compared with the one before rain. Meanwhile , compared with the two treatments we can
draw : for the non-covered soil hit by the raindrops directly ,the growth in the amount of soil
particles of 0.01 mm or below is slightly higher than the covered one, and respectively 3%
and 2% under five minutes and 10 minutes of rainfall.
Splash erosion impact the surface soil mineralization rates , and rainfall duration is also a
factor affecting CO 2 emission : under 5 minutes rainfall , the average CO 2 emission of the
covered soil treatment was 29.58 ml/kg, and the non-covered treatment improved to 39.01
ml/kg, 32% higher than the former ; under 10 minutes rainfall , the average CO 2 emission of
the covered soil treatment was 39.80 ml/kg, and the non-covered treatment improved to 42.31
ml/kg, 6% higher than the former; the CO 2 emission is increasing as rainfall duration
prolonged: in covered conditions, CO 2 emission of the 10 minutes rainfall is 35% higher than
5 minutes , and in non-covered treatment , CO 2 emission of the 10 minutes is 9% higher than
5 minutes .
Since returning cultivated land for 27 years, the Q 10 and the mean grassland soil
respiration was higher than paired cropland. The converstion of cropland to grassland
inhanced the SOC.
Since returning cultivated land for 27 years, the mean grassland soil respiration(3.55
μmol•m -2 s -1 ) was averaged 2.61 times higher than paired cropland soil respiration(1.36
μmol•m -2 s -1 )and the cumulative CO 2 -C emissions in grassland (981 g C m -2 ) was 2.75 times
higher than that in cropland (357 g C m -2 ). In 2011, the temperature sensitivity of grassland
(Q 10 ) improved by 24.5% compared with cropland, and in 2012 it reduced to 2.4%. We found
marked differences in soil characteristics related to different land-use: the mean grassland
SOC(10.5g•kg -1 ) was averaged 61.5% higher than paired cropland SOC(6.5g•kg -1 )and the
SMBC (204mg•kg -1 ) was averaged 34% higher than cropland (152mg•kg -1 ). Soil moisture
from 0 ~ 5 depth was much drier in cropland and significantly different between cropland and
grassland except for winter. However, there were no clear differences between soil
temperatures. SOC and soil moisture differences between cropland and grassland can explain
the soil respiration difference caused by land-use change, which was confirmed by the
validation results.
