| 摘 要(英文)：CO2 fluxes were measured continuously for three years (2003-2005) using the eddy covariance technique for the canopy layer with a height of 27 m above the ground in a dominant subtropical evergreen forest in Dinghushan, South China. By applying gapfilling methods, we quantified the different components of the carbon fluxes (net ecosystem exchange (NEE)), gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Reco) in order to assess the effects of meteorological variables on these fluxes and the atmospherecanopy
interactions on the forest carbon cycle. Our results showed that monthly average daily maximum net CO2 exchange of the whole ecosystem varied from −3.79 to −14.24 μmol m−2 s−1 and was linearly
related to photosynthetic active radiation. The Dinghushan forest
acted as a net carbon sink of −488 g C m−2 y−1, with a GPP of 1448 g
Cm−2 y−1, and a Reco of 961 g C m−2 y−1.Using a carboxylase-based
model, we compared the predicted fluxes of CO2 with measurements.
GPP was modelled as 1443 g C m−2 y−1, and the model inversion
results helped to explain ca. 90% of temporal variability of the
measured ecosystem fluxes. Contribution of CO2 fluxes in the
subtropical forest in the dry season (October-March) was 62.2% of
the annual total from the whole forest ecosystem. On average, 43.3%
of the net annual carbon sink occurred between October and December, indicating that this time period is an important stage for uptake of CO2 by the forest ecosystem from the atmosphere. Carbon uptake in the evergreen forest ecosystem is an indicator of the interaction of between the atmosphere and the canopy, especially in terms of driving climate factors such as temperature and rainfall events. We found that the Dinghushan evergreen forest is acting as a carbon sink almost year-round. The study can improve the evaluation of the net carbon uptake of tropical monsoon evergreen forest ecosystem in south China region under climate change conditions. |
