Effects of Different Precipitation Patterns on Carbon Emission of Cyanobacteria Crust Covered Soil in Arid Regions
[Objective] The effects of different precipitation patterns on carbon emission of cyanobacteria crust covered soil were explored in order to provide scientific basis for accurate estimation of carbon emission of ecosystems in arid regions. [Methods] Taking Ulan Buh Desert as a study area
the global climate change was simulated by artificial precipitation enhancement and frequency change. Long-term field monitoring was conducted for soil respiration rate of cyanobacteria crust covered soil. [Results] Precipitation could stimulate the release fluxes of CO2 immediately. The soil respiration rate reached maximum within 1 hour after rainfall
and fell to a low level in about 12 hours. With the increasing of dry-wet alternation times
the respiration pulse gradually weakened. Compared with the first rainfall
the peak of soil respiration rate was decreased by 40% to 60% after the last rainfall. The 16-hour cumulative release fluxes of CO2 and the total cumulative release fluxes of CO2 all increased along with the increase of precipitation size. However
when the precipitation size increased to a certain extent
it had no obvious acceleration effect on soil carbon emission. For a single precipitation
the release fluxes of CO2 caused by low-frequency heavy precipitation were significantly greater than that of high-frequency light precipitation. With the total precipitation size constant
the release fluxes of CO2 caused by high-frequency light precipitation was the highest
the low-frequency heavy precipitation was the second
the normal frequency precipitation was the minimum. [Conclusion] Increased precipitation size and changes in frequency caused by global climate change will increase carbon emission of cyanobacteria crust covered soil
suggesting that cyanobacteria should be considered in projections of future carbon budget.
