中国亚热带丘陵区马尾松林氧化亚氮排放

The forest ecosystem plays a pivotal role in contributing greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.In order to characterize the temporal pattern of nitrous oxide(N_2O) emissions and identify the key factors affecting N_2O emissions from a Masson pine forest in a hilly red-soil region in subtropical central China,we measured the N_2O emissions in Jinjing of Hunan Province using the static chambergas chromatographic method for 3 years(2010-2012) and analyzed the relationships between the N_2O fluxes and the environmental variables.Our results revealed that the N_2O fluxes over the 3 years varied from-36.0 to 296.7 μg N m~(-2) h~(-1),averaging 18.4±5.6 μg N m~(-2) h~(-1)(n=3).The average annual N_2O emissions were estimated to be 1.6±0.3 kg N ha~(-1) year~(-1).The N_2O fluxes exhibited clear intra-annual(seasonal) variations as they were higher in summers and lower in winters.Compared with other forest observations in the subtropics,N_2O emissions at our site were relatively high,possibly due to the high local dry/wet N deposition,and were mostly sensitive to variations in precipitation and soil ammonium N content.In this work,a multiple linear regression model was developed to determine the influence of environmental factors on N_2O emissions,in which a category predictor of "Season" was intentionally used to account for the seasonal variation of the N_2O fluxes.Such a model explained almost 40%of the total variation in daily N_2O emissions from the Masson pine forest soil studied(P0.001).
