Changes of CO2 concentrations in both the atmosphere (2m above canopy) and the forest canopy (2m below the top of the canopy) together with those of net photosynthesis and soil CO2 evolution were also examined, in order to find the characteristics of CO2 exchange between the different components of the temperate forest ecosystem and the atmosphere. Atmospheric CO2 averaged (323+10) and (330+1) mol mol-1 respectively in summer and autumn. During the 24-hour measurements, large differences as much as -46 and -61 mol mol-1 respectively in the atmosphere and forest were found. Net photosynthesis of the grass layer in summer was (2. 59 9+ 1.05) mol CO2 m-2 S-1, two times of that in autumn, (1.31+0.39) mol CO2 s-1 In summer, there was much more CO2 evolved from soil than in autumn, averaging (5.18+0.75) mol CO2 m-2 s-1 and (1.96 + 0.57) (mol CO2 m-2 s-1, respectively. A significant correlation was found between soil CO2 evolution and ground temperature, with F =-0.864 2+0.310 1X,r=0.7164, P<0.001 (n=117). Both the minimal atmospheric CO2 level and the maximum net photosynthesis occurred around 14:00; and an increase in atmospheric CO2 and of soil CO2 evolution during night times were also found to be remarkable.展开更多

SOC dynamics under uncertain patterns of climate warming and elevated atmospheric CO2 as well as with different soil erosion extents at Nelson Farm during 1998-100 were simulated using stochastic modelling. Results based on numerous simulations showed that SOC decreased with elevated atmospheric temperature but increased with atmospheric CO2 concentration. Therefore, there was a counteract effect on SOC dynamics between climate warming and elevated CO2. For different soil erosion extents, warming 1℃ and elevated atmospheric CO2 resulted in SOC increase at least 15%, while warming 5 ℃ and elevated CO2 resulted in SOC decrease more than 29%. SOC predictions with uncertainty assessment were conducted for different scenarios of soil erosion, climate change, and elevated CO2. Statistically, SOC decreased linearly with the probability. SOC also decreased with time and the degree of soil erosion. For example, in 2100 with a probability of 50%, SOC was 1 617, 1 167, and 892 g m^-2, respectively, for no, minimum, and maximum soil erosion. Under climate warming 5 ℃ and elevated CO2, the soil carbon pools became a carbon source to the atmosphere （P 〉 95%）. The results suggested that stochastic modelling could be a useful tool to predict future SOC dynamics under uncertain climate change and elevated CO2.展开更多

To assess the effects of elevated CO2 on soil microbial C and N immobilization and on soil enzyme activities, in years 8 （2006） and 9 （2007） of an open-top chamber experiment that begun in spring of 1999, soil was sampled in summer, and microbial biomass and enzyme activity related to the carbon （C）, nitrogen （N） and phosphorus （P） cycling were measured. Although no effects on microbial biomass C were detected, changes in microbial biomass N and metabolic activity involving C, N and P were observed under elevated CO2. Invertase and .dehydrogenase activities were significantly enhanced by different degrees of elevated CO2. Nitrifying enzyme activity was significantly （P 〈 0.01） increased in the August 2006 samples that received the elevated COs treatment, as compared to the samples that received the ambient treatment. Denitrifying enzyme activity was significantly （P 〈 0.04） decreased by elevated COs treatments in the August 2006 and June 2007 （P 〈 0.09） samples, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity was increased under elevated CO2 by 7% and 25% in June and August 2006, respectively, compared to those under ambient CO2. The results of June 2006 samples showed that acid phosphatase activity was significantly enhanced under elevated CO2. Overall, these results suggested that elevated CO2 might cause changes in the belowground C, N and P cycling in temperate forest soils.展开更多

Each ensemble member within the same set uses the same forcing but with small perturbations to the atmospheric initial state. Hence, the difference between the present-day(or future) ensemble mean and the preindustrial ensemble mean provides the ice-loss-induced response, while the difference of the individual members within the present-day(or future) set is the effect of atmospheric internal variability. Results indicate that both present-day and future sea ice loss can force a negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation with a WACE pattern in winter. The magnitude of ice-induced Arctic warming is over four(ten) times larger than the ice-induced East Asian cooling in the present-day(future) experiment;the latter having a magnitude that is about 30% of the observed cooling. Sea ice loss contributes about 60%(80%) to the Arctic winter warming in the present-day(future) experiment. Atmospheric internal variability can also induce a WACE pattern with comparable magnitudes between the Arctic and East Asia. Ice-lossinduced East Asian cooling can easily be masked by atmospheric internal variability effects because random atmospheric internal variability may induce a larger magnitude warming. The observed WACE pattern occurs as a result of both Arctic sea ice loss and atmospheric internal variability, with the former dominating Arctic warming and the latter dominating East Asian cooling.展开更多

The correlation was investigated by calculating a correlation coefficient r of these changes for selected ENSO events in this study. Annual periodical increases and decreases in the CO2 concentration were considered, with a regular pattern of minimum values in August and maximum values in May each year. An increased deviation in CO2 and temperature was found in response to the occurrence of El Niño, but the increase in CO2 lagged behind the change in temperature by 5 months. This pattern was not observed for La Niña events. An increase in global CO2 emissions and a subsequent increase in global temperature proposed by IPCC were not observed, but an increase in global temperature, an increase in soil respiration, and a subsequent increase in global CO2 emissions were noticed. This natural process can be clearly detected during periods of increasing temperature specifically during El Niño events. The results cast strong doubts that anthropogenic CO2 is the cause of global warming.展开更多

Applied to the atmosphere, this law yields equations for water, vapor (gas), ice, air, humidity, dryness, fire, and heat, thus defining the model of key atmospheric parameters. The distribution of these parameters across the entire planet Earth is the origin of the formation of the climatic cycle, which is a normal climatic variation. To do this, the Earth is divided into eight (8) parts according to the number of key parameters to be defined in a physical representation of the model. Following this distribution, numerical models calculate the constants for the formation of water, vapor, ice, dryness, thermal energy (fire), heat, air, and humidity. These models vary in complexity depending on the indirect trigonometric direction and simplicity in the sum of neighboring models. Note that the constants obtained from the equations yield 275.156˚K (2.006˚C) for water, 273.1596˚K (0.00963˚C) for vapor, 273.1633˚K (0.0133˚C) for ice, 0.00365 in/s for atmospheric dryness, 1.996 in<sup>2</sup>/s for humidity, 2.993 in<sup>2</sup>/s for air, 1 J for thermal energy of fire, and 0.9963 J for heat. In summary, this study aims to define the main parameters and natural phenomena contributing to the modification of planetary climate. .展开更多

文摘Exploration of efficient and stable photocatalysts to mimic natural leaves for the conversion of atmospheric CO_(2)into hydrocarbons utilizing solar light is very important but remains a major challenge.Herein,we report the design of four novel metal-salen-incorporated conjugated microporous polymers as robust artificial leaves for photoreduction of atmospheric CO_(2)with gaseous water.Owing to the rich nitrogen and oxygen moieties in the polymeric frameworks,they show a maximum CO_(2)adsorption capacity of 46.1 cm3 g^(−1)and adsorption selectivity for CO_(2)/N_(2)of up to 82 at 273 K.Under air atmosphere and simulated solar light(100mWcm^(−2)),TEPT-Zn shows an excellent CO yield of 304.96μmol h^(−1)g^(−1)with a selectivity of approximately 100%,which represents one of the best results in terms of organic photocatalysts for gas-phase CO_(2)photoreduction so far.Furthermore,only small degradation in the CO yield is observed even after 120-h continuous illumination.More importantly,a good CO yield of 152.52μmol g^(−1)was achieved by directly exposing the photocatalytic reaction of TEPT-Zn in an outdoor environment for 3 h(25-28℃,52.3±7.9mWcm^(−2)).This work provides an avenue for the continued development of advanced polymers toward gas-phase photoconversion of CO_(2)from air.

文摘China is the largest emitter of anthropogenic CO_(2) globally,with its cities recognized as significant emission hotspots.Consequently,evaluating anthropogenic CO_(2) emissions and the carbon neutral capability(CNC)of Chinese cities is critical for climate change mitigation.Despite this importance,no studies to date have assessed recent and future city-scale CNCs using the top-down atmospheric inversion approach,revealing substantial knowledge gaps regarding regional CO_(2) budgets.To address these issues,this research focused on Hangzhou,a megacity known for having the highest forest cover among China’s provincial capitals,as study region.Year-round atmospheric CO_(2) concentration measurements were conducted from December 2020 to November 2021 at two sites:one urban and one suburban.These observations,along with their difference,were utilized to derive city-scale posterior anthropogenic CO_(2) emissions and to evaluate recent and future CNCs.Our key findings are as follows:(1)The manufacturing industry,energy industry and oil refineries/transformation industry were identified as the largest contributors to urban-suburban CO_(2) difference,accounting for 36.5%,21.3%,and 16.6%,respectively.Additionally,82.5%,65.2%,81.2%and 86.3%of total anthropogenic CO_(2) enhancements were attributed to emissions within Hangzhou city in winter,spring,summer and autumn,respectively.(2)The posterior annual anthropogenic CO_(2) emission for Hangzhouwas estimated at 4.65(±0.72)×10^(10) kg/a,indicating significant biases among different prior CO_(2) emission inventories.The annual biological CO_(2) sink,derived from multiple products,was estimated at-0.48(±0.16)×10^(10) kg.(3)The calculated CNC for 2021was 10.3%±3.4%,highlighting a substantial gap towards achieving full carbon neutrality.Considering potential increases in ecosystem carbon sinks due to forest age and uncertainties from climate change,it was predicted that at least 65.2%-82.6%of anthropogenic CO_(2) emissions must be reduced to achieve the goal of full carbon neutrality by year of 2060.

文摘Although atmospheric CO_(2) observations are becoming increasingly widespread in China,the identification of CO_(2) emission sources is still scarce,especially in undeveloped Central China.To effectively address this issue,in a typical site in Central China,the simultaneous measurements of atmospheric CO_(2),CO,andδ^(13)C were conducted,and the characteristics of CO_(2) emission sources were systematically investigated based on the relationships among CO_(2),CO,andδ^(13)C.The average CO_(2)/CO ratio of winter increased from 52.4 ppm/ppm during 2018–2020 to 65.1 ppm/ppm during 2021–2022,which confirmed the improvement of energy consumption efficiency in China.Air-mass transportation from central China and Yangtze River Delta regions contributed largely to higher CO_(2)/CO ratios in 2021–2022.A highermean CO_(2)/CO ratio appeared during the morning rush hours(60.3 ppm/ppm)than in the afternoon rush hours(51.4 ppm/ppm)in winter.In addition,the meanδ^(13)C value of CO_(2) sources(δ^(13)Cs)also displayed more negative values during the morning rush hours(-28.3‰)than the afternoon rush hours(-22.2‰),suggesting the significant influence of vehicle and natural gas usage at themorning rush hours and the impact of straw burning in the afternoon rush hours.The meanδ^(13)Cs was-24.7‰for winter and-21.9‰for vegetation season,implying the main contribution of coal in winter and the impact of C4 plants during the vegetation season.The contribution of biogenic respiration CO_(2) was inferred to exceed 50%during the nighttime of summer according to the obtained meanδ^(13)C value of biogenic respiration CO_(2),which was calculated to be-21.4‰.

文摘Middle-sized chambers (40cmx40cmx20 cm) and an infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) were used for the measurement of net photosynthesis of the grass layer and soil CO2 evolution, in Quercus liaotungensis Koidz. forest, which is a typical temperate forest ecosystem in the mountainous areas of Beijing. Changes of CO2 concentrations in both the atmosphere (2m above canopy) and the forest canopy (2m below the top of the canopy) together with those of net photosynthesis and soil CO2 evolution were also examined, in order to find the characteristics of CO2 exchange between the different components of the temperate forest ecosystem and the atmosphere. Atmospheric CO2 averaged (323+10) and (330+1) mol mol-1 respectively in summer and autumn. During the 24-hour measurements, large differences as much as -46 and -61 mol mol-1 respectively in the atmosphere and forest were found. Net photosynthesis of the grass layer in summer was (2. 59 9+ 1.05) mol CO2 m-2 S-1, two times of that in autumn, (1.31+0.39) mol CO2 s-1 In summer, there was much more CO2 evolved from soil than in autumn, averaging (5.18+0.75) mol CO2 m-2 s-1 and (1.96 + 0.57) (mol CO2 m-2 s-1, respectively. A significant correlation was found between soil CO2 evolution and ground temperature, with F =-0.864 2+0.310 1X,r=0.7164, P<0.001 (n=117). Both the minimal atmospheric CO2 level and the maximum net photosynthesis occurred around 14:00; and an increase in atmospheric CO2 and of soil CO2 evolution during night times were also found to be remarkable.

文摘The spring atmospheric heat source(AHS)over the Tibetan Plateau(TP)has been suggested to affect the Asian summer monsoon and summer precipitation over South China.However,its influence on the summer precipitation in Northeast China(NEC)remains unknown.The connection between spring TP AHS and subsequent summer precipitation over NEC from 1961 to 2020 is analyzed in this study.Results illustrate that stronger spring TP AHS can enhance subsequent summer NEC precipitation,and higher soil moisture in the Yellow River Valley-North China region(YRVNC)acts as a bridge.During spring,the strong TP AHS could strengthen the transportation of water vapor to East China and lead to excessive rainfall in the YRVNC.Thus,soil moisture increases,which regulates local thermal conditions by decreasing local surface skin temperature and sensible heat.Owing to the memory of soil moisture,the lower spring sensible heat over the YRVNC can last until mid-summer,decrease the land–sea thermal contrast,and weaken the southerly winds over the East Asia–western Pacific region and convective activities over the South China Sea and tropical western Pacific.This modulates the East Asia–Pacific teleconnection pattern,which leads to a cyclonic anomaly and excessive summer precipitation over NEC.

文摘Climate change and elevated atmospheric CO2 should affect the dynamics of soil organic carbon （SOC）. SOC dynamics under uncertain patterns of climate warming and elevated atmospheric CO2 as well as with different soil erosion extents at Nelson Farm during 1998-100 were simulated using stochastic modelling. Results based on numerous simulations showed that SOC decreased with elevated atmospheric temperature but increased with atmospheric CO2 concentration. Therefore, there was a counteract effect on SOC dynamics between climate warming and elevated CO2. For different soil erosion extents, warming 1℃ and elevated atmospheric CO2 resulted in SOC increase at least 15%, while warming 5 ℃ and elevated CO2 resulted in SOC decrease more than 29%. SOC predictions with uncertainty assessment were conducted for different scenarios of soil erosion, climate change, and elevated CO2. Statistically, SOC decreased linearly with the probability. SOC also decreased with time and the degree of soil erosion. For example, in 2100 with a probability of 50%, SOC was 1 617, 1 167, and 892 g m^-2, respectively, for no, minimum, and maximum soil erosion. Under climate warming 5 ℃ and elevated CO2, the soil carbon pools became a carbon source to the atmosphere （P 〉 95%）. The results suggested that stochastic modelling could be a useful tool to predict future SOC dynamics under uncertain climate change and elevated CO2.

文摘Microorganisms play a key role in the response of soil ecosystems to the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide （CO2） as they mineralize organic matter and drive nutrient cycling. To assess the effects of elevated CO2 on soil microbial C and N immobilization and on soil enzyme activities, in years 8 （2006） and 9 （2007） of an open-top chamber experiment that begun in spring of 1999, soil was sampled in summer, and microbial biomass and enzyme activity related to the carbon （C）, nitrogen （N） and phosphorus （P） cycling were measured. Although no effects on microbial biomass C were detected, changes in microbial biomass N and metabolic activity involving C, N and P were observed under elevated CO2. Invertase and .dehydrogenase activities were significantly enhanced by different degrees of elevated CO2. Nitrifying enzyme activity was significantly （P 〈 0.01） increased in the August 2006 samples that received the elevated COs treatment, as compared to the samples that received the ambient treatment. Denitrifying enzyme activity was significantly （P 〈 0.04） decreased by elevated COs treatments in the August 2006 and June 2007 （P 〈 0.09） samples, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity was increased under elevated CO2 by 7% and 25% in June and August 2006, respectively, compared to those under ambient CO2. The results of June 2006 samples showed that acid phosphatase activity was significantly enhanced under elevated CO2. Overall, these results suggested that elevated CO2 might cause changes in the belowground C, N and P cycling in temperate forest soils.

文摘Ball milling is an environmentally friendly technology for the remediation of petroleumcontaminated soil(PCS),but the cleanup of organic pollutants requires a long time,and the post-remediation soil needs an economically viable disposal/reuse strategy due to its vast volume.The present paper develops a ball milling process under oxygen atmosphere to enhance PCS remediation and reuse the obtained carbonized soil(BCS-O)as wastewater treatment materials.The total petroleum hydrocarbon removal rates by ball milling under vacuum,air,and oxygen atmospheres are 39.83%,55.21%,and 93.84%,respectively.The Langmuir and pseudo second-order models satisfactorily describe the adsorption capacity and behavior of BCS-O for transition metals.The Cu^(2+),Ni^(2+),and Mn^(2+)adsorbed onto BCS-O were mainly bound to metal carbonates and metal oxides.Furthermore,BCS-O can effectively activate persulfate(PDS)oxidation to degrade aniline,while BCS-O loaded with transition metal(BCS-O-Me)shows better activation efficiency and reusability.BCS-O and BCS-O-Me activated PDS oxidation systems are dominated by^(1)O_(2)oxidation and electron transfer.The main active sites are oxygen-containing functional groups,vacancy defects,and graphitized carbon.The oxygen-containing functional groups and vacancy defects primarily activate PDS to generate^(1)O_(2)and attack aniline.Graphitized carbon promotes aniline degradation by accelerating electron transfer.The paper develops an innovative strategy to simultaneously realize efficient remediation of PCS and sequential reuse of the postremediation soil.

文摘To quantify the relative contributions of Arctic sea ice and unforced atmospheric internal variability to the “warm Arctic, cold East Asia”(WACE) teleconnection, this study analyses three sets of large-ensemble simulations carried out by the Norwegian Earth System Model with a coupled atmosphere–land surface model, forced by seasonal sea ice conditions from preindustrial, present-day, and future periods. Each ensemble member within the same set uses the same forcing but with small perturbations to the atmospheric initial state. Hence, the difference between the present-day(or future) ensemble mean and the preindustrial ensemble mean provides the ice-loss-induced response, while the difference of the individual members within the present-day(or future) set is the effect of atmospheric internal variability. Results indicate that both present-day and future sea ice loss can force a negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation with a WACE pattern in winter. The magnitude of ice-induced Arctic warming is over four(ten) times larger than the ice-induced East Asian cooling in the present-day(future) experiment;the latter having a magnitude that is about 30% of the observed cooling. Sea ice loss contributes about 60%(80%) to the Arctic winter warming in the present-day(future) experiment. Atmospheric internal variability can also induce a WACE pattern with comparable magnitudes between the Arctic and East Asia. Ice-lossinduced East Asian cooling can easily be masked by atmospheric internal variability effects because random atmospheric internal variability may induce a larger magnitude warming. The observed WACE pattern occurs as a result of both Arctic sea ice loss and atmospheric internal variability, with the former dominating Arctic warming and the latter dominating East Asian cooling.

文摘To explain the influence mechanism of MgO on the consolidation and reduction characteristics of roasted iron pellets,the properties and structure of pellets were investigated from multi-dimensions.It indicated that the MgO addition decreased the reduction swelling index(RSI)and reduction degree of pellets in both CO and H_(2)atmospheres.During the stepwise reduction process of Fe2O3→Fe3O4→FeO,the reduction behaviour of pellets in CO and H_(2)was similar,while the reduction rate of pellets in H_(2)atmosphere was almost twice as high as that in CO atmosphere.During the stepwise reduction process of FeO→Fe,the RSI of pellets showed a logarithmic increase in CO atmosphere and a linear decrease in H_(2)atmosphere.As investigated by first-principles calculations,C and Fe mainly formed chemical bonds,and the CO reduction process released energy,promoting the formation of iron whiskers.However,H and Fe produced weak physical adsorption,and the H_(2)reduction process was endothermic,inhibiting the generation of iron whiskers.With Mg2+doping in FexO,the nucleation region of iron whiskers expanded in CO reduction process,and the morphology of iron whiskers transformed from“slender”to“stocky,”reducing RSI of the pellets.
文摘This study aims to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of the soils from the Kenendé,Limbita 1,and Limbita 2 sites,located in the Dubréka prefecture,to develop a composite construction material based on soil and plant fibers that is more resistant to climatic and environmental conditions.To achieve this,soil samples were collected and subjected to various laboratory tests.The study assessed the physical and mechanical properties of these soils to develop a composite construction material incorporating soil and plant fibers.Laboratory tests revealed variations in water absorption capacity and compressive strength depending on the applied pressure(3,4,5 MPa)and the sample’s condition(dry or wet).After a 30-day maturation period,Kenendéexhibited a maximum dry-state strength of 2.66 MPa,while Limbita 1 and Limbita 2 recorded 0.95 MPa and 2.57 MPa,respectively.Soils compacted under high pressure demonstrated better performance,particularly in dry conditions.These results confirm the potential of the soils from the three sites for producing durable construction materials suitable for local climatic conditions,provided they undergo appropriate treatment and maturation,thereby contributing to sustainable construction in Guinea.

文摘Soil biota mediates key ecological processes and delivers a range of societally important ecosystem services.However,the impacts of atmospheric changes on soil metazoans have been understudied.To address this knowledge gap,we evaluated the short-term responses of soil metazoans to elevated carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and ozone(O_(3))with two commonly grown rice varieties(Nanjing 5055 and Wuyujing 3)in a paddy soil.A simultaneous increase of CO_(2)and O_(3)concentrations had a negligible effect on the diversity of Annelida,Mollusca,Porifera,and total soil metazoans,suggesting that soil metazoan taxa had an inherent resilience to atmospheric changes.However,elevated CO_(2)alone significantly enhanced the diversity and relative abundances of Craniata and Platyhelminthes for Wuyujing 3 under ambient O_(3)conditions.However,elevated O_(3)decreased the diversity and relative abundance of Craniata by 42.7%and 47.7%,respectively,especially under elevated CO_(2)conditions for Wuyujing 3,demonstrating significant interactive effects.Furthermore,soil NO_(3)^(-)-N and NH_(4)^(+)-N contents mostly shaped the changes in the diversity and composition of soil metazoan communities.These results highlight the crucial role of rice variety regulating soil metazoan communities under the complex interaction between short-term elevated CO_(2)and O3.Thus,to better understand the mechanisms and processes within soil food webs,future studies should include the combined effects of various climate change factors and different crop varieties on soil metazoan communities.

文摘Global climate change is the most serious challenge that modern society faces.Soil-biochar carbon sequestration is a promising natural solution for capturing carbon.This study monitored the CO_(2) emissions of five biochar incubated Malaysian Tropical soils(MT-Soil).The recalcitrance index of palm kernel shell biochar(PKS)was higher than that of wood chip biochar(WCB),bamboo biochar(BB),coconut shell biochar(CHB)and rice husk biochar(RHB),and was different from the observed CO_(2) emission characteristics(WCB>CHB>RHB>BB>PKS).Thus,the carbon sequestration potential of biochar could not be evaluated solely by the recalcitrance index.This CO_(2) emission is linked not only to the total organic carbon(TOC)and total carbon(TC)of the biochar but also associated with mobile matter(MM),water holding capacity(WHC),available phosphorus(AP),exchangeable potassium(AK),and nitrogen content.The multiple linear regression analysis(MLRA)shows that the weights of these factors on CO_(2) emissions are as follows:TC>pH>MM>WHC>AP>AK.The results show that in addition to biochar stability,pore structure and available phosphorus release also affect carbon dynamics through indirect effects on microbial activity.This means that to minimize CO_(2) emissions during application of biochar,it is necessary to use soil that is rich in phosphorus and biochar that has undeveloped pore structure and high stable carbon.Finally,this study provides valuable theoretical underpinnings biochar application in MT-Soil.

文摘Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration([CO_(2)])can stimulate crop growth and increase yield,but the effect may be constrained by soil contamination with heavy metals.In a free-air carbon dioxide enrichment experiment over three seasons,we found that soil heavy metal contamination can constrain or even reverse the projected CO_(2)fertilization effect on rice yield.Elevated[CO_(2)]produced opposing effects on the accumulation of arsenic and cadmium in rice grain.Breeding crops for heavy-metal resistance and low arsenic accumulation may become necessary with continuing climate change.

文摘Exotic plant invasions and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide(CO_(2))concentration have been determined to independently affect soil nematodes,a key component of soil biota.However,little is known about the long-term effects of these two global change factors and their interactive effects.Over three consecutive years,we cultivated invasive alien plant Xanthium strumarium and its two phylogenetically related natives under both ambient(aCO_(2))and elevated(eCO_(2))atmospheric CO_(2)concentrations,and determined the effects of the invader and natives on soil nematodes under different CO_(2)concentrations and the relevant mechanism.The abundance of total soil nematodes and that of the dominant trophic group(herbivores)were significantly affected by plant species and CO_(2)concentration,and these effects were dependent on the experimental duration,however,the Shannon-diversity of nematodes was not affected by these factors.Under aCO_(2),both invasive and native species significantly increased the total nematode abundance and that of the dominant trophic group with increasing experimental duration,and the amplitude of the increase was greater under the invader relative to the natives.The eCO_(2)increased total nematode abundance(second year)and that of the dominant trophic group(third year)under the invader,but not under the natives(or even decreased)with increasing experimental duration.Root litter had greater effects on soil nematode abundance than leaf litter and root exudates did.This study indicates that eCO_(2)would aggravate effects of invasive plants on soil nematodes by increasing abundance,and these effects would vary with the duration.

文摘A growing global demand exists to formulate plans to lessen the greenhouse gas emissions produced by agricultural activities.The purpose of this study was to uncovered the changes in soil CO_(2)fluxes under varying scenarios including nitrogen fertilization rates,irrigation rates,and air temperatures in the Hetao Irrigation District(HID)over the 38-year period.DAYCENT model was used to predict carbon dioxide(CO_(2))fluxes from cultivated soils in the HID,Inner Mongolia from^(2)023 to 2060(the year of achieving the"carbon neutrality"goal)in this study.Results showed that mean soil CO_(2)fluxes in the sunflower field[1035.13 g/(m^(2).yr)]were significantly lower than those in the maize field[1405.54 g/(m^(2).yr)].An increase in nitrogen fertilization rate led to a significant escalation in soil CO_(2)fluxes.Moreover,elevating irrigation rates for washing salts by irrigation(WSBI)diminished soil CO_(2)fluxes in the sunflower field while amplifying them in the maize field.A rise in air temperature resulted in an increase in soil CO_(2)fluxes from the maize field,with annual increases observed,but a reduction in soil CO_(2)fluxes from the sunflower field.The sunflower fields in the HID have a more substantial advantage than the corn fields in mitigating soil CO_(2)emissions.

文摘The atmospheric carbon dioxide(CO_(2))concentration has been increasing rapidly since the Industrial Revolution,which has led to unequivocal global warming and crucial environmental change.It is extremely important to investigate the interactions among atmospheric CO_(2),the physical climate system,and the carbon cycle of the underlying surface for a better understanding of the Earth system.Earth system models are widely used to investigate these interactions via coupled carbon-climate simulations.The Chinese Academy of Sciences Earth System Model version 2(CAS-ESM2.0)has successfully fixed a two-way coupling of atmospheric CO_(2)with the climate and carbon cycle on land and in the ocean.Using CAS-ESM2.0,we conducted a coupled carbon-climate simulation by following the CMIP6 proposal of a historical emissions-driven experiment.This paper examines the modeled CO_(2)by comparison with observed CO_(2)at the sites of Mauna Loa and Barrow,and the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite(GOSAT)CO_(2)product.The results showed that CAS-ESM2.0 agrees very well with observations in reproducing the increasing trend of annual CO_(2)during the period 1850-2014,and in capturing the seasonal cycle of CO_(2)at the two baseline sites,as well as over northern high latitudes.These agreements illustrate a good ability of CAS-ESM2.0 in simulating carbon-climate interactions,even though uncertainties remain in the processes involved.This paper reports an important stage of the development of CAS-ESM with the coupling of carbon and climate,which will provide significant scientific support for climate research and China’s goal of carbon neutrality.
文摘The temperature change and rate of CO2 change are correlated with a time lag, as reported in a previous paper. The correlation was investigated by calculating a correlation coefficient r of these changes for selected ENSO events in this study. Annual periodical increases and decreases in the CO2 concentration were considered, with a regular pattern of minimum values in August and maximum values in May each year. An increased deviation in CO2 and temperature was found in response to the occurrence of El Niño, but the increase in CO2 lagged behind the change in temperature by 5 months. This pattern was not observed for La Niña events. An increase in global CO2 emissions and a subsequent increase in global temperature proposed by IPCC were not observed, but an increase in global temperature, an increase in soil respiration, and a subsequent increase in global CO2 emissions were noticed. This natural process can be clearly detected during periods of increasing temperature specifically during El Niño events. The results cast strong doubts that anthropogenic CO2 is the cause of global warming.
文摘Atmospheric models are physical equations based on the ideal gas law. Applied to the atmosphere, this law yields equations for water, vapor (gas), ice, air, humidity, dryness, fire, and heat, thus defining the model of key atmospheric parameters. The distribution of these parameters across the entire planet Earth is the origin of the formation of the climatic cycle, which is a normal climatic variation. To do this, the Earth is divided into eight (8) parts according to the number of key parameters to be defined in a physical representation of the model. Following this distribution, numerical models calculate the constants for the formation of water, vapor, ice, dryness, thermal energy (fire), heat, air, and humidity. These models vary in complexity depending on the indirect trigonometric direction and simplicity in the sum of neighboring models. Note that the constants obtained from the equations yield 275.156˚K (2.006˚C) for water, 273.1596˚K (0.00963˚C) for vapor, 273.1633˚K (0.0133˚C) for ice, 0.00365 in/s for atmospheric dryness, 1.996 in<sup>2</sup>/s for humidity, 2.993 in<sup>2</sup>/s for air, 1 J for thermal energy of fire, and 0.9963 J for heat. In summary, this study aims to define the main parameters and natural phenomena contributing to the modification of planetary climate. .

The results showed that doubling CO2 concentration was benefit tb seedling growth of the species (500 μL- L1 was better than 700 μLL’ L-1 ) and the biomass production was increased in both aboveground and underground parts of seedlings. Carbon trans formation to roots was evident as rising of CO2 concentration.
