摘要: 北方泥炭地是大气中CH4和CO2的重要排放源,但在气候变化背景下其在不同空间尺度上的排放规律尚不明晰。本研究以长白山典型北方泥炭地为对象,采集了不同海拔和微地形的泥炭剖面样本,通过室内微宇宙厌氧培养实验,结合气体排放监测与泥炭土理化性质分析,探讨了深度、微地形以及海拔对CH4和CO2排放潜力的影响及机制。结果表明:随深度增加,CH4和CO2的累积排放量降低,表层(0~5 cm)的CH4和CO2的排放量分别为8.13±4.14、28.7±13.3 mg·g-1;表层CH4的累积排放量分别是亚表层(5~20 cm)和深层泥炭土(20~40 cm)的1.8~5.6倍和1.6~9.6倍;表层CO2的累积排放量是亚表层、深层泥炭土的1.5~3.8倍和1.2~4.9倍。同时,海拔和微地形显著影响表层泥炭土CH4和CO2的排放(P<0.05):高海拔泥炭地及草丘微地形具有较高的CH4和CO2排放潜力。相关性分析表明,CH4和CO2的累积排放量与pH、水溶性有机碳(WEOC)含量呈显著正相关(pH:R2=0.43~0.52,P<0.05;WEOC:R2=0.64~0.72,P<0.05),与可溶性有机质的芳香性指数(SUVA254)和有机质碳/氮含量比值(C/N)呈显著负相关(SUVA254R2=0.44~0.47,P<0.05;C/N:R2=0.74~0.79,P<0.05)。研究表明,泥炭地碳排放潜力的空间变化规律与泥炭土的pH和有机质可利用性相关,揭示了影响泥炭地碳排放的主要因素,并加深了对未来气候变化背景下不同空间尺度上的泥炭地碳损失潜力的认识。

Abstract: Although northern peatlands are significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), the spatial patterns of these emissions in the context of climate change remain poorly understood. In this study, peat cores were collected from different altitudes and microtopographies in peatlands of Changbai Mountain. Through an anaerobic incubation experiment, we combined gas monitoring with peat physicochemical properties to investigate how depth, microtopography, and altitude influenced the emission potentials of CH4 and CO2. The results showed that both CH4 and CO2 emissions decreased toward deeper peat. CH4 and CO2 emissions from the surface peat (0-5 cm) were 8.13±4.14 mg·g-1 and 28.7±13.3 mg·g-1 dry peat, respectively. CH4 emissions from surface peat were 1.8-5.6 times higher than in subsurface peat (5-20 cm) and 1.6-9.6 times higher than in deep peat (20-40 cm). Similarly, CO2 emissions of surface peat were 1.5-3.8 times higher than that in subsurface peat and 1.2-4.9 times higher than that in deep peat. Meanwhile, both elevation and microtopography had significant effects (P<0.05) on CH4 and CO2 emissions from surface peat. High-elevation peatlands and hummocks had higher CH4 and CO2 emission potentials. The cumulative CH4 and CO2 emissions were significantly positively correlated with soil pH and water-extractable organic carbon (WEOC) content (pH: R2=0.43-0.52, P<0.05; WEOC: R2=0.64-0.72, P<0.05), and were significantly negatively correlated with the specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA254) of soluble organic matter and the ratio of carbon-to-nitrogen content of organic matter (SUVA254: R2=0.44-0.47, P<0.05; C/N: R2=0.74-0.79, P<0.05). Our results indicate that the spatial variability of carbon emission potential in peatlands is influenced by pH and the availability of organic carbon. These findings identify the key factors driving carbon emissions of peatlands and improve our understanding of carbon loss potential across different spatial scales, particularly in the context of climate change.
