模拟的增温增雨对内蒙古温带草原土壤氨氧化微生物的影响

土壤氨氧化微生物是草地生态系统氮循环过程特别是氨氧化过程的主要驱动者,对全球变化具有响应、适应和反馈机制.通过采集在内蒙古温带草原设置的长期增温增雨野外控制实验的土壤样品,应用定量PCR、限制性末端片段长度多态性(terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism,T-RFLP)和克隆文库等方法研究氨氧化古菌和细菌的丰度、多样性和群落结构对增温增雨的响应.结果表明,增雨显著升高了土壤pH,而增温显著降低了土壤呼吸.氨氧化微生物丰度在各处理之间没有显著差异.T-RFLP结果表明,增雨显著影响土壤氨氧化细菌的群落结构,增温和增雨对土壤氨氧化微生物群落结构的交互作用并不显著.结构方程模型的结果显示植物多样性与氨氧化古菌和细菌的群落结构有显著的相关关系,表明气候变化-微生物-植物三者之间存在着一定的关系.研究结果预示土壤微生物对长期气候变化有一定的适应能力,这对预测未来生态系统的变化具有重要的参考价值.     

冬水田转稻麦轮作对小麦生长季温室气体排放的影响

用静态暗箱-气相色谱法测定了川中丘陵地区典型冬水田(RF)及冬水田转稻麦轮作处理(RW)在小麦生长季的温室气体排放通量,并同步测定了土壤温度、水分和可溶态碳氮含量.结果表明,RW在小麦生长季的CH4、生态系统呼吸CO2和N2O平均排放通量分别为0.05、117.01 mg·m-2·h-1(以C计)和77.19μg·m-2·h-1(以N计),而RF相应通量分别为1.43、7.85 mg·m-2·h-1和-0.61μg·m-2·h-1.RW施氮肥后出现N2O的排放峰,其N2O直接排放系数为1.28%.土壤可溶态有机碳含量与CO2通量之间呈显著正相关关系(r=0.342,p0.01),与CH4、N2O的相关关系不显著;硝态氮、可溶态总氮含量与N2O通量的关系为显著正相关,但与CH4通量呈显著负相关.RF的综合增温潜势(以CO2-eq计,下同)为3.03 Mg·hm-2,大于RW(-1.66 Mg·hm-2),暗示冬水田转稻麦轮作会降低生态系统的综合增温效应.     

增温对农田土壤碳氮循环关键过程的影响

为研究模拟增温对农田土壤碳氮循环关键过程的影响,设置了包含增温和对照两个处理的随机区组试验.采用气压过程分离技术(BaPS)测定土壤CO2产生速率、硝化速率、反硝化速率,并测定了根生物量、水溶性有机碳(DOC)、亚硝酸根、硫酸根、硝酸根等指标.结果表明,在冬小麦-大豆轮作生长季,增温和对照处理的平均土壤CO2产生速率分别为(149.7±19.6)和(114.5±11.6) μg/(kg·h),增温和对照处理的平均土壤硝化速率分别为(563.6±119.56),(399.9±98.2)μg/(kg·h),增温和对照处理的平均土壤反硝化速率分别为(319.7±94.6), (216.2±44.7) μg/(kg·h).研究表明,无论是在冬小麦生长季还是在大豆生长季, 模拟增温均促进了土壤CO2产生速率,增温对大豆田土壤CO2产生速率的促进作用高于冬小麦田,并且这种促进作用主要体现在作物生长后期.模拟增温显著促进了冬小麦–大豆田的土壤硝化、反硝化速率,夏季增温对土壤硝化、反硝化速率的促进作用最明显.模拟增温对土壤中根生物量、DOC、亚硝酸根、硫酸根、硝酸根含量无显著影响.     

耕作方式对紫色水稻土农田生态系统CH4和N2O排放的影响

以位于西南大学农业部重庆紫色土生态环境重点野外科学观测试验站内1990年设立的长期免耕试验田为研究对象,采用静态暗箱/气相色谱法,对传统的冬水田平作（CT）及由其改良而成的水旱轮作（CTR）、厢作免耕（NTP）和垄作免耕（NTR）等农田生态系统CH4和N2O的排放进行了连续1 a的田间原位观测研究.结果表明,传统的CT处理中,CH4和N2O主要排放时期为水稻种植季,该时期的持续时间仅占全年的27.1%,但2种温室气体的总排放量分别占全年的77.6%和55.0%;耕作制度改良后,CH4排放降低而N2O排放增加.不同耕作方式下CH4的年平均排放通量[以CH4计,mg.（m2.h）-1]为CT（2.96±0.04）〉NTR（1.83±0.21）〉NTP（1.42±0.01）〉CTR（0.96±0.09）,CT处理的CH4排放极显著高于CTR和NTP处理（P〈0.01）,显著高于NTR处理（P〈0.05）;N2O的年平均排放通量[以N2O计,μg.（m2.h）-1]依次为CTR（123.6±47.1）〉NTR（115.2±22.1）〉NTP（100.5±25.8）〉CT（81.3±13.5）,CTR处理N2O的排放显著高于CT（P〈0.05）.通过对不同时间尺度（20、100及500 a）2种温室气体综合全球增温潜势（global warming potential,GWP）的计算,可以发现,改良后的3种耕作方式对CH4和N2O的综合GWP有一定的减排作用,无论时间尺度长短,4种耕作处理全年所排放的CH4和N2O所产生的综合GWP均为CT〉NTR〉NTP〉CTR.因此,耕作方式的改良对紫色水稻土农田生态系统中CH4和N2O综合GWP减排有着明显的效果.     

北极陆地生态系统的碳循环与全球温暖化

根据最新研究资料，综述并分析了全球温暖化与北极陆地生态系统碳循环的关系，指出近代全球大气ＣＯ２和ＣＨ４浓度显著增加，并呈现日益加剧的趋势；这些温室气体的浓度上升与全球温暖化密切相关，自本世纪７０年代开始，北极地区的夏季温度显著上升．通过分析北极陆地生态系统的碳循环及其基本特征，发现北极陆地生态系统是一个巨大的土壤碳库，占全球土壤碳库总量的２３７％—３２３％；虽然该系统目前起着大气ＣＯ２汇的作用，但大气ＣＯ２浓度增加导致的气温上升将对北极土壤碳库和ＣＯ２的源汇功能产生深刻影响．     

全球变暖对上海和广州人群死亡数的可能影响

研究表明，最高气温达到３４℃以上的“热日”死亡数显著增加，“热日多出死亡数”占夏季总死亡数的百分率，上海为４．２％，广州为３．８％。广州人对热压力的适应性比上海人强。如果上海和广州未来温升不到１℃，冬夏死亡效变化不大；如温升几度，夏季死亡数上升，超过冬季死亡数的下降，全年死亡率增高。

A Flexible Global Warming Index for Use in an Integrated Approach to Climate Change Assessment

Global Warming Potential (GWP) is an index used to measure the cumulative radiative forcing of a tonne of greenhouse house gas (GHG) relative to that of a ‘reference’ gas (CO₂). Under the Kyoto Protocol, GWP can be used as a fixed index to govern the trade-off between different GHGs in a multi-gas approach to GHGs abatement. The use of fixed GWPs has been criticized for not being very cost effective compared to the use of some flexible indices. To gain wider acceptance, however, a flexible index must also prove to be easy to use, and the economic gains from its adoption must be significant. In this paper, we develop a flexible index based on the concept of marginal rather than cumulative or average global warming potentials. These marginal global warming potentials (MGWPs) can be endogenously determined within a climate model given a particular climate objective based on radiative forcing level. The MGPWs are then linked to the marginal abatement costs of the GHGs, which are also endogenously determined within an economic model. When the two concepts are linked in this way, the result is a cost-effective way of achieving a particular climate change objective with multigas abatement. We show that the savings in costs when using this flexible MGPWs can be significant, and more importantly, they are not uniformly distributed across different regions.

Risks of global warming on montane and subalpine forests in Switzerland – a modeling study

In this study, we assess the risks of global warming on distributions of individual tree species in Switzerland. Applying a spatially explicit model, tree occurrence is predicted as a function of high resolution and physiologically relevant biophysical variables. The study shows that warming only slightly alters the overall abundance of tree species. However, the preferred temperature regimes are unevenly distributed along an elevational gradient, and the sensitivity to temperature varies considerably between the species. As a result, major reorganizations of forests in montane and subalpine belts are expected, i.e., a segregation of the core distributions of Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies is observed. Tree distribution potentials near timberlines, however, remain roughly the same. Electronic Publication
