岩溶作用时间尺度与碳汇稳定性

从碳酸盐溶蚀快速动力学过程、岩溶动力系统的开放性、环境敏感性和生物参与性等方面分析了岩溶作用过程的时间尺度及其碳汇稳定性,指出岩溶碳循环是一种兼具不同时间尺度的特殊地质作用过程,因水生植物和土地利用变化的影响,碳汇效应显著且相对稳定,仍对现今大气CO2减排有重要意义。为更好地估算岩溶碳汇潜力,在加强高精度自动化监测的同时,需要考虑外源水、水生植物及土地利用变化等因素。     

水生植物对岩溶区河水地球化学昼夜变化的影响——以漓江为例

为研究河流非岩溶区断面和岩溶区断面生物地球化学昼夜变化过程、特征及影响因素,探讨水生生物对岩溶区河水碳汇作用的影响,于2016年10月30日-2016年11月1日,在广西桂林漓江干流非岩溶区的峡背和岩溶区的省里设置两个监测点同时开展了为期48小时的高分辨率在线监测和高频率取样工作,研究其水文参数(电导率(EC)、水温(T)、pH以及Ca2+、HCO-3、NO-3等离子和溶解无机碳同位素(δ13CDIC)等水化学参数的昼夜变化规律,并分析其影响因素。发现:（1）峡背和省里两断面水化学类型为HCO3－Ca型,但水文地球化学昼夜变化过程不同:省里断面的物理化学参数昼夜变化显著,T、pH、DO、SIC白天上升夜间下降,Ca2+、HCO-3的质量浓度和EC、p (CO2)白天降低、夜晚上升;而峡背断面理化指标昼夜变幅小,这与峡背断面处于岩溶区与非岩溶区交界处,非岩溶河流汇入、生物量较小等环境特征有关。（2）省里断面营养元素(NO-3、SO42-、Cl-、Na+)昼夜变化过程主要受水生植物同化作用控制,呈现白天降低、夜间升高的变化规律。（3）峡背断面和省里断面TOC 与DOC白天上升、夜间下降,最高日变化幅度可达79%和61%,利用端元混合模型计算得出省里断面和峡背断面内源有机碳占总有机碳的比例分别为91.99%和88.39%,省里断面和峡背断面水生植物光合作用利用HCO-3作为无机碳源的比例为67.42%～99.75%和57.76%～69.78%,平均值分别为79.54%和63.13%。（4）省里断面溶解无机碳(DIC)变化范围为67.1～115.9 mg·L-1,平均值为96.5 mg·L-1,呈现白天下降夜间上升的变化。δ13CDIC变化范围-7.8‰～-9.9‰,平均值为-8.9‰,表现为白天偏重、晚上偏轻的动态变化,两者呈显著的负相关关系(相关系数为-0.79)。研究表明省里断面水生植物光合作用和呼吸作用以及钙沉降是控制DIC昼夜变化的主导因素。通过估算监测期间省里断面光合作用DIC转化速率平均值为1.2×10-5 mmol·L-1·S-1,Ca2+离子的沉积速率平均值为0.18×10-5mmol·L-1·S-1。因此,岩溶区河段水生生物光合作用及其固碳能力较非岩溶区河段明显增强。      

典型水生植物对岩溶水生生态系统无机碳稳定性影响研究

碳循环研究是全球变化科学中的研究重点, 其平衡问题已成为全球变化与地球科学领域的研究前沿和热点。“遗失汇”是全球碳收支研究的重点, 寻找和揭示其存在机理对研究全球碳循环具有重要意义。在全球碳循环研究中, 仅考虑海洋碳库和陆地生态系统碳库对全球碳循环的贡献, 然并未对地球岩石圈中碳酸盐岩碳库作充分评估。以袁道先院士为首的研究团队, 利用石灰岩溶蚀试片法(Carbonate-rock-tablet-test method)、水化学法(Hydrogen-discharge method)和扩散边界法(Diffusion Boundary Layer Model, DBL)首次估算了全球每年因碳酸盐岩溶蚀作用产生的碳汇量其约占当前碳循环模型中“遗失汇”的约1/3。     

外源水对岩溶碳汇的影响——以桂林毛村地下河为例

以桂林毛村地下河为对象,研究了外源水对岩溶碳汇的影响。观测计算结果表明:外源水进入岩溶区后,由于内外源水相互混合,提高了岩溶水的溶蚀能力,以致DIC含量不断升高,其碳酸盐饱和指数也逐渐增加,SIc由不饱和达到饱和,增加了岩溶碳汇的通量。2010年9月至2011年3月仅以位于地下河上游的小龙背的外源水补给量和地下河出口的HCO3-浓度进行计算,岩溶碳汇通量由2.28×105g增加至2.04×106g,增加了近10倍。碳汇通量的增加固然与沿途大气降水、植被及土地利用等可能产生的CO2输入有关,但更与外源水加入形成的混合溶蚀作用有关。因此,在岩溶碳汇通量计算中外源水的影响作用不容忽视。      

短时间尺度下岩溶泉碳汇效应研究——以重庆金佛山水房泉为例

通过对金佛山水房泉的离子含量、电导率、水位等参数进行监测,采用水化学—流量法计算出水房泉一个完整水文年的月碳汇通量。结果显示,水房泉雨季碳汇通量远大于旱季,碳汇通量最大值出现在7月,最小值出现在1月。月碳汇通量与月降雨量和月径流量之间存在很好的同步关系。水房泉HCO3-的含量受温度、降雨、流量以及表层土壤CO2等因素综合影响,且月碳汇通量的最值与HCO3-含量的最值在时间上存在很大的差异。降雨量是控制岩溶地下水碳汇通量的绝对主导因素。相比于年尺度下大流域的碳汇估算,短时间尺度下小流域的碳汇计算更加准确。另外,分析地下水流量、气候变化等因素对岩溶碳汇的影响,对于水化学—流量法的准确运用以及岩溶碳汇机制的深入研究也有十分重要的意义。     

混合岩溶流域碳酸盐岩溶蚀速率与岩溶碳汇 ——以漓江流域上游为例

碳酸盐岩矿物的化学风化速率要显著高于硅酸盐岩矿物,碳酸盐岩和硅酸盐岩混合流域中碳酸盐岩矿物风化对河流水化学的贡献占主导.为研究混合岩溶流域碳酸盐岩风化及岩溶碳汇特征,在漓江流域上游大溶江、小溶江、灵渠3个混合岩溶流域选取了24个点放置标准溶蚀试片并测试对应的土壤理化性质.基于雨季和全年试片溶蚀量和土壤理化特征,分析试片...     

石漠化土地固碳潜力分析——以贵州为例

以中国南方石漠化最为严重的贵州省为主要研究对象,选取其中五个有典型代表性的石漠化综合治理小流域为研究区,以70个典型样地实地监测数据为基础,测算了目前贵州石漠化土地的碳储量并分别预测了短期(20年)和长期(50年)内的固碳潜力。数据表明:2006年全省石漠化土地总碳储量达12627～20418万t碳,其中潜在和轻度石漠化的碳储量最高,占总碳储量的80%以上,是石漠化生态系统中主要的碳库;通过石漠化综合治理,预计20年后会有22655万t二氧化碳得到固定,而50年后固碳量将翻一番,达到42708万t;贵州全省石漠化土地年均固碳量达8.55～11.34×106t,可消除全区42%的工业二氧化碳排放量,有助于贵州工业二氧化碳“零排放”目标的实现。尽管石漠化生态系统有巨大的固碳潜力,但在石漠化综合治理规划中对碳汇功能缺乏充分的重视,有必要在“十二五”石漠化综合治理规划中在更高的水平上重新考量石漠化的碳汇功能。      

土地覆盖对岩溶地下河碳汇的影响——以广西打狗河流域为例

以广西打狗河为例,对比分析河流东、西两岸地下河的土地覆盖差异及其对岩溶碳汇的影响。打狗河东岸林地占56.13%,耕地占15.15%;而西岸林地、耕地分别只占20.8%、12.95%。但西岸的裸岩和荒地比例大,分别占29.57%和25.95%,而东岸分别占14.19%和10.98%。植被和土壤覆盖差异导致了东、西两岸碳循环的地球化学指标有明显的差异,东岸地下河水的HCO3-、Ca2+、PCO2(平均分别是233.71mg/L、85.5mg/L、909.46Pa)明显高于西岸(分别为177.26mg/L、64.65mg/L、257.37Pa),而东岸的SIC、pH值(分别为0.12和7.40)又低于西岸(分别是0.38和7.85)。因此,东岸有更强的岩溶动力条件,东岸地下河的平均碳汇强度比西岸高14%,其中,东岸下桥地下河的碳汇强度是西岸旦峒地下河的3.7倍。东西岸地下河水的δ13CDIC、TOC资料也进一步证明了土地覆盖条件对地下河岩溶碳汇具有重要的影响。      

西南岩溶区农田生态系统岩溶作用及碳汇效应：以重庆南川市三泉镇为例

岩溶地区的碳循环是地质作用和生物作用最好的结合点,系统研究农田生态系统中石灰岩溶蚀作用强度对精确估算岩溶作用的碳汇效应具有重要意义。通过在重庆南川市三泉镇选择菜地、旱地、冬水田、两季田、草地、未利用地等样地类型进行以一个水文年为周期的标准溶蚀试片溶蚀试验、土壤剖面与植被样方观测以及土壤、标准溶蚀试片样品分析,探讨了农田...

Carbon Fluxes and Sinks: the Consumption of Atmospheric and Soil CO2 by Carbonate Rock Dissolution

Carbonate rock outcrops cover 9%–16% of the continental area and are the principal source of the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) transferred by rivers to the oceans, a consequence their dissolution. Current estimations suggest that the flux falls between 0.1–0.6 PgC/a. Taking the intermediate value (0.3 PgC/a), it is equal to 18% of current estimates of the terrestrial vegetation net carbon sink and 38% of the soil carbon sink. In China, the carbon flux from carbonate rock dissolution is estimated to be 0.016 PgC/a, which accounts for 21%, 87.5%–150% and 2.3 times of the forest, shrub and grassland net carbon sinks respectively, as well as 23%–40% of the soil carbon sink flux. Carbonate dissolution is sensitive to environmental and climatic changes, the rate being closely correlated with precipitation, temperature, also with soil and vegetation cover. HCO3- in the water is affected by hydrophyte photosynthesis, resulting in part of the HCO3? being converted into DOC and POC, which may enhance the potential of carbon sequestration by carbonate rock dissolution. The possible turnover time of this carbon is roughly equal to that of the sea water cycle (2000a). The uptake of atmospheric/soil CO2 by carbonate rock dissolution thus plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, being one of the most important sinks. A major research need is to better evaluate the net effect of this sink in comparison to an oceanic source from carbonate mineral precipitation.     

贵州草海近21 ka以来有机地球化学记录反映的古环境变化*

草海位于黔滇交界,主要受印度夏季风的影响,其湖沼沉积物记录了中—晚第四纪的环境变化历史,是研究第四纪环境和季风演变的良好载体。本研究选取的南屯NT03钻孔,岩心长405 cm,在放射性碳同位素(AMS¹⁴C)测年基础上建立了年代序列,并进行了沉积物的色差值(L^*)、烧失量(LOI550)、总有机碳(TOC)、碳氮比(C/N)和有机稳定碳同位素(δ13Corg)等古环境替代指标的测试。实验结果显示,L^*、LOI550和TOC等3个有机碳含量指标同步变化,共同指示该钻孔序列经历了3个沉积环境演变阶段,即末次盛冰期晚期(21—15 cal ka BP)河流—冲积相沉积阶段、冰消期至早中全新世(15—4 cal ka BP)高湖面湖泊—沼泽相沉积阶段和晚全新世(4 cal ka BP以来)洪冲积相沉积阶段。近2万年以来草海湖沼面积经历的收缩→扩张→收缩演变过程与石笋氧同位素变化基本吻合,表明季风降雨是引起草海湖泊水体和周边生态系统变化的主要因素。δ13Corg指标变化范围为-29.28‰~-24.19‰,表明草海盆地周围植被组成在末次盛冰期以来C4草本虽然略有增加,但均以C3植物为主。同时,TOC和δ13Corg指标证明了B/A冰消期暖事件对盆地边缘区的湿地泥炭富集起到关键作用,而多指标揭示了近4 ka以来水域变浅并发展成为冲积环境的过程,也可能与石笋记录的夏季风减弱所带来的降水量减少有关。

Bicarbonate Daily Variations in a Karst River: the Carbon Sink Effect of Subaquatic Vegetation Photosynthesis

Using the Guancun River, an underground stream-fed river, in Rong’an County of Guangxi, China as a case study, the daily biochemical cycle was examined in this paper based on the data collected a weeklong via high resolution data logger monitoring and high-frequency sampling. Furthermore, the loss of inorganic carbon along its flow path was estimated. Results show that chemical components of the groundwater input are quite stable, showing little change extent; while all of the chemical parameters from two downstream monitoring stations show diel variation over the monitoring period, suggesting that plant activity in the river has a strong influence on water chemistry of the river. The comparison of the input fluxes from the groundwater with the output fluxes of HCO3? estimated at the downstream monitoring station during the high-frequency sampling period shows a strong decrease of HCO3?, indicating that the river is losing inorganic carbon along its flow path. The loss is estimated to be about 1,152 mmol/day/m of HCO3? which represent about 94.9 kg/day of inorganic carbon along the 1,350 m section of the Guancun River. It means that HCO3? entering the river from karst underground stream was either consumed by plants or trapped in the authigenic calcite and thus constitutes a natural sink of carbon for the Guancun karst system.     

Carbon and Oxygen Isotopic Composition of Surface-Sediment Carbonate in Bosten Lake (Xinjiang, China) and its Controlling Factors

Bosten Lake is a mid-latitude lake with water mainly supplied by melting ice and snow in the Tianshan Mountains. The depositional environment of the lake is spatially not uniform due to the proximity of the major inlet and the single outlet in the western part of the lake. The analytical results show that the carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of recent lake sediments is related to this specific lacustrine depositional environment and to the resulting carbonate mineralogy. In the southwestern lake region between the Kaidu River inlet and the Kongqi River outlet, carbon isotope composition (δ13C) values of the carbonate sediment (-1‰ to -2‰) have no relation to the oxygen isotope composition of the carbonate (δ18O) values (-7‰ to -8‰), with both isotopes showing a low variability. The carbonate content is low (<20%). Carbonate minerals analyzed by X-ray diffraction are mainly composed of calcite, while aragonite was not recorded. The salinity of the lake water is low in the estuary region as a result of the Kaidu River inflow. In comparison, the carbon and oxygen isotope values are higher in the middle and eastern parts of the lake, with δ13C values between approximately +0.5‰ and +3‰, and δ18O values between -1‰ and -5‰. There is a moderate correlation between the stable oxygen and carbon isotopes, with a coefficient of correlation r of approximately 0.63. This implies that the lake water has a relatively short residence time. Carbonate minerals constitute calcite and aragonite in the middle and eastern region of the lake. Aragonite and Mg-calcite are formed at higher lake water salinity and temperatures, and larger evaporation effects. More saline lake water in the middle and eastern region of the lake and the enhanced isotopic equilibrium between water and atmospheric CO2 cause the correlating carbon and oxygen isotope values determined for aragonite and Mg-calcite. Evaporation and biological processes are the main reasons for the salinity and carbonate mineralogy influence of the surface-sediment carbonate in Bosten Lake. The lake water residence time and the CO2 exchange between the atmosphere and the water body control the carbon and oxygen isotope composition of the carbonate sediment. In addition, organic matter pollution and decomposition result in the abnormally low carbon isotope values of the lake surface-sediment carbonate.
