Long-term measurement of carbon metabolism of old-growth forests is critical to predict their behaviors and to reduce the uncertainties of carbon accounting under changing climate. Eddy covariance technology was applied to investigate the long-term carbon exchange over a 200 year-old Chinese broad-leaved Korean pine mixed forest in the Changbai Mountains (128°28′E and 42°24′N, Jilin Province, P. R. China) since August 2002. On the data obtained with open-path eddy covariance system and CO2 profile measurement system from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2004, this paper reports (i) annual and seasonal variation of FNEE, FGPP and RE; (ii) regulation of environmental factors on phase and amplitude of ecosystem CO2 uptake and release Corrections due to storage and friction velocity were applied to the eddy carbon flux.
LAI and soil temperature determined the seasonal and annual dynamics of FGPP and RE separately. VPD and air temperature regulated ecosystem photosynthesis at finer scales in growing seasons. Water condition at the root zone exerted a significant influence on ecosystem maintenance carbon metabolism of this forest in winter.
The forest was a net sink of atmospheric CO2 and sequestered −449 g C·m−2 during the study period; −278 and −171 gC·m−2 for 2003 and 2004 respectively. FGPP and FRE over 2003 and 2004 were −1332, −1294 g C·m−2. and 1054, 1124 g C·m−2 respectively. This study shows that old-growth forest can be a strong net carbon sink of atmospheric CO2.
There was significant seasonal and annual variation in carbon metabolism. In winter, there was weak photosynthesis while the ecosystem emitted CO2. Carbon exchanges were active in spring and fall but contributed little to carbon sequestration on an annual scale. The summer is the most significant season as far as ecosystem carbon balance is concerned. The 90 days of summer contributed 66.9, 68.9% of FGPP, and 60.4, 62.1% of RE of the entire year.
As regards the eddies occurring in the origination region of the Kuroshio (west of 130° E), the earliest informations were reported by R. Shigematsu (1932) and K. Koenuma (1936) respectively. From the data observed in the twenties, they pointed out that there was a warm eddy located to the right side of the Kuroshio in the Luzon Strait. Using the data obtained from the fourties through the sixties, Nitani further convinced the existence of the warm eddy. During the latest two decades, observations of the area south of the Nansei Islands on board of R/V Chofu Maru (1965, '66, '67) and Hakuho Maru (1974, '75) also revealed the existence of warm and cold eddies, but few works on "eddies" are reported, so far as we know. 相似文献

Total dissolved selenium and selenium species have been measured in the Rhône river delta and the Gulf of Lions within the framework of the EROS-2000 project. The Rhône river concentration of total selenium averages 2.30 nM with important variations related to river discharge. During estuar-ine mixing, the concentrations of total dissolved selenium, selenite and selenate (calculated as the difference between total dissolved and selenite) decrease linearly with increasing salinity, without significant interconversion between selenium species. In the open Mediterranean waters of the Gulf of Lions the total dissolved selenium increases from 0.5 nM in the surface waters to 0.9 nM in the deep waters. Organic selenium has been observed in Mediterranean deep water, an observation which is different from those from the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. The distributions of total inorganic selenium (Σ5e), selenite and selenate are strongly related to phosphate and silicate concentrations as observed previously for the major oceans. 相似文献
