Ten years of atmospheric methane observations at a high elevation site in Western China

In this paper, the continuous (1994–2001) and discrete air sample (1991–2001) measurements of atmospheric CH₄ from the Waliguan Baseline Observatory located in western China (36°17′N, 100°54′E, 3816 m asl) are presented and characterized. The CH₄ time series show large episodic events on the order of 100 ppb throughout the year. During spring, a diurnal cycle with average amplitude of 7 ppb and a morning maximum and late afternoon minimum is observed. In winter, a diurnal cycle with average amplitude of 14 ppb is observed with an afternoon maximum and morning minimum. Unlike most terrestrial observational sites, no obvious diurnal patterns are present during the summer or autumn. A background data selection procedure was developed based on local horizontal and vertical winds. A selected hourly data set representative of “baseline” conditions was derived with approximately 50% of the valid hourly data. The range of CH₄ mixing ratios, annual means, annual increases and mean annual cycle at Waliguan during the 1992–2001 were derived from discrete and continuous data representative of “baseline” conditions and compared to air samples collected at other Northern Hemisphere sites. The range of CH₄ monthly means of 1746–1822 ppb, average annual means of 1786.7±10.8 ppb and mean annual increase of 4.5±4.2 ppb yr⁻¹ at Waliguan were inline with measurements from sites located between 30° and 60°N. There were variations observed in the CH₄ annual increase patterns at Waliguan that were slightly different from the global pattern. The mean CH₄ annual cycle at Waliguan shows an unusual pattern of two gentle peaks in summer and February along with two small valleys in early winter and spring and a mean peak-to-peak amplitude of 11 ppb, much smaller than amplitudes observed at most other mid- and high-northern latitude sites. The Waliguan CH₄ data are strongly influenced by continental Asian CH₄ emissions and provide key information for global atmospheric CH₄ models.     

珠江三角洲二氧化碳源汇演变特征及驱动因素

随着经济与人口快速增长，珠江三角洲（珠三角）地区是我国碳中和压力最大的区域之一.通过建立珠三角地区二氧化碳（CO₂）源汇历史趋势清单，分析碳排放与碳汇的历史演变特征，并基于指数分解法识别了影响珠三角碳源汇的关键驱动因素.结果表明：① 2006~2020年珠三角碳排放总量从2.18亿t上升至3.66亿t，呈现出波动上升的演变特征，总体上升了67.86%，尚未实现碳达峰；② 2006~2020年珠三角绿地碳汇总量从1567.26万t下降至1552.59万t，呈现出波动下降的趋势特征，总体下降了0.94%，碳汇量远低于碳排放量，距离碳中和仍有很大缺口；③珠三角碳源主要来源于能源部门（40.38%）和工业部门（26.33%），碳汇主要来源于林地（67.92%）和耕地（18.09%）；④"十一五"至"十三五"期间，碳源的主要正向驱动因素是经济增长和人口规模，主要负向驱动因素是能源强度（单位GDP的能源使用量），但"十三五"以来，降低能源强度可以释放的CO₂减排潜力正在减弱，未来需要挖掘能源、工业和交通等方面结构调整的负向驱动潜力；⑤"十一五"至"十三五"期间，碳汇的主要正向驱动因素是绿地规模，源于"十一五"期间城市绿地面积增加，主要负向驱动因素是碳汇系数，源于自然灾害导致的水稻等高碳汇系数作物减产，未来绿地增汇需重视绿地结构调整.研究可为珠三角制定降碳增汇政策提供科学支撑.     

Net Ecosystem Production of Boreal Larch Ecosystems on the Yenisei Transect

The study was carried out in the Turukhansk Research Station of Yenisei Transect (65^°46^′N, 89^°25^′E). Larch (Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.) is the dominant overstory tree species. The research has been conducted on four permanent test plots in same-age mature (110-year old) and overmature (380-year old) post-fire larch stands of green moss and lichen groups of forest type. Carbon cycle parameters were assessed based on a biometric method. Quantitative analysis of carbon pools and fluxes shows that net ecosystem production of north taiga larch stands averages 32% of net primary production. Sink of atmospheric CO₂ makes 1.22 and 0.74 t C ha^{− 1} year^{− 1} for mature and overmature green moss larch stands, and 0.65 and 0.35 t C ha^{− 1} year^{− 1} for lichen type. Net carbon sink in the tree layer make up 9% of net primary production carbon, ground vegetation – 15%, and dead plant residues accumulation – 8% of atmospheric carbon uptake via photosynthesis.     

Fossil carbon emissions associated with carbon flowsof wood products

Specific fossil carbon (C) emissions and primary energy useassociated with the manufacture of different wood product groups inFinland are estimated and expressed as emissions or energy use per amountof wood-based C in raw material and per amount in end product. Thecalculation includes both emissions from supplied fuels within the forestindustries, and from electricity and district heat purchased from externalsources. The results are compared to fossil C emissions from the wholelifecycle of harvested wood products. The results of the study show, forinstance, that the emission of fossil C per wood-based C in end products(MgC/MgC) is of the order of 0.07 for sawn wood and 0.3–0.6 for paperin the manufacturing stage. The primary energy use per wood-based C inend product is of the order of 2 MWh/MgC for sawn wood, whereas forvirgin paper grades the figure is between 17 and 19 MWh/MgC. Theprimary energy content is highest in papers based on chemical pulping, butaround 60% of the energy used is produced in this case from by-productwood wastes (black liquor, bark etc.). The specific fossil C emission andprimary energy divided by the estimated service life of the wood productare measures for the relative burden of maintaining the corresponding woodproduct pool. These figures should be kept in mind when considering woodproducts as a potential C sink option.

林业REDD~+机制对中国低碳经济的启示——以环境与资源保护法为视角

森林固碳不仅成本低,并且还具有多种生态效益和巨大的经济、社会效益。发展碳汇林业,加强以林业为主的生态保护和建设,充分发挥森林生态系统作为生物措施对应对气候变化的作用显得尤为重要,也更具有长远和治本的意义。REDD+机制的提出,为广大发展中国家在共同但有区别的原则下参与全球气候变化活动带来了新的活力,也为中国的低碳经济带来了政策和法律的启示。但该机制对不同的国家有不同的内涵,国家责任不同,利益不同,代价亦不同,中国需持谨慎态度制定与之相关的政策法律。     

贵州森林碳汇现状及增汇潜力分析

区域层面的森林碳收支估算研究有利于为整体层面持续固碳增汇的森林经营提供科学参考,评估森林碳汇对减少区域内碳排放的贡献。采用温室气体清单估算法,对2000、2005和2010年贵州省森林碳汇进行估算,结果表明:贵州省森林碳汇从15.380×106增长到22.447×106、24.314×106 t CO2,呈稳定增长趋势,占全省碳排放量的6.73%～10.35%。贵州省尚有161.70×104 hm2宜林地,如果能用于发展碳汇林业,每年可吸收CO2达2.379×106 t,30年内将吸收CO2达71.370×106 t。贵州省正处于碳排放增长阶段,相对于森林碳汇而言,全区域碳减排工作任重道远,森林碳汇能力有很大的提升空间。     

鱼类养殖对水体磷酸盐的影响：源、汇的半现场实验例证

设置4个温度水平（16℃,20℃,23℃和26℃）和3个投喂水平（1%,2%和饱食水平）,在类养殖场条件下饲喂许氏平鲉,研究其对水体磷酸盐浓度的影响.结果表明,在所有温度、投喂水平下,水体的磷酸盐浓度均有升、降.从物质平衡角度看,养殖鱼类是水体磷酸盐的源,但又不是单纯的源,因鱼粪和残饵等微粒的吸附作用,养殖鱼类有可能成为水体磷酸盐的汇。因此在评价鱼类养殖的环境容量时,慎用活性磷酸盐磷这个指标。此外,进行鱼类养殖环境影响评价时,应加强颗粒物的监测;为降低水体的磷负荷,磷酸盐和水体颗粒物质均应是生态调控的对象。
