英文摘要 | Relict permafrost regions are characterized by thin permafrost and relatively high temperatures. Understanding the ecosystem respiration rate (ERR) and its relationship with soil hydrothermal conditions in these areas can provide knowledge regarding the permafrost carbon cycle in a warming world. In this study, we examined a permafrost area, a boundary area, and a seasonally frozen ground area within a relict permafrost region on the east edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China. Measurements from July 2015 to September 2016 showed that the mean annual ecosystem CO2 emissions for the boundary area were greater than the permafrost area. The Q(10) value of the ERRs in the seasonally frozen ground area was greater than the permafrost area, indicating that the carbon emissions in the nonpermafrost areas were more sensitive to warming. The 1year open-top chamber (OTC) warming increased soil temperatures in both the permafrost and seasonally frozen ground areas throughout the year, and the warming increased the ERRs by 1.18 (0.99-1.38, with interquartile range) and 1.13 (0.75-1.54, with interquartile range) molCO(2)m(-2)s(-1) in permafrost and seasonally frozen ground areas, respectively. The OTC warming increased annual ERRs by approximately 50% for both permafrost and seasonally frozen ground areas with half the increase occurring during the nongrowing seasons. These results suggest that the ERRs in relict permafrost are high in comparison with arctic regions, and the carbon balance in relict permafrost areas could be greatly changed by climate warming. Plain Language Summary Permafrost degradation is a process of temperature increasing of soils and then shift from frozen to thaw state; thus, studying the soil carbon emissions in relict permafrost will provide us knowledge about the permafrost carbon feedback under a warming world. Here we showed that the soil carbon emissions in relict permafrost area are high, and the experimental warming showed that the soil carbon emissions were more pronounced in nonpermafrost area than those of permafrost area. Our results suggested that soil carbon release in relict permafrost is high, and the carbon balance in relict permafrost areas could be greatly changed by climate warming. |
