Throughfall Exclusion

Soil water content is an important factor that influences plant growth of different forests, and then affecting the forest ecosystem carbon storage through the net primary productivity. In this study, a throughfall exclusion experiment was carried out to explore effects of drought on vegetation carbon storage in moso bamboo forest in North Zhejiang of China. The results were showed as follows. The vegetation carbon storage of moso bamboo forest under throughfall exclusion treatment was 14.35% lower than the control plots. And the net CO2 sequestration was 125.07% lower than the control plots. The litterfall in control plots has a tiny drop when compared with the throughfall exclusion plots. These results indicated that drought could reduce forest ecosystem carbon storage and carbon fixation capacity.

Forest ecosystem plays an important role in regulating global carbon cycle and climate change, to estimate its carbon storage, this study selected five major forest types in Northeast and investigated its tree, understory vegetation, forest floor and soil carbon density based on field measurement. Subsequently, we combined with the 7th Forest Resources Statistics of China to calculate forest carbon storage under the natural forest protection program in Northeast on regional scale. Results showed that forest ecosystem carbon storage under the natural forest protection program in Northeast was 4603.8 TgC, in which tree, understory, forest floor and soil carbon storages account for 22.7%, 0.9%, 6.5% and 69.9% respectively. Forest ecosystem carbon density was 180.6 Mg/ha, and tree, understory, and forest floor carbon density all increased with age class, which imply the great forest carbon sequestration potential under the natural forest protection program in Northeast.

The Impact

Land use/cover change (LUCC) has an important impact on the terrestrial carbon cycle. The spatial distribution of regional carbon reserves can provide the scientific basis for the management of ecosystem carbon storage and the formulation of ecological and environmental policies. This paper proposes a method combining the CA-based FLUS model and the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) model to assess the temporal and spatial changes in ecosystem carbon storage due to land-use changes over 1990–2015 in the Qinghai Lake Basin (QLB). Furthermore, future ecosystem carbon storage is simulated and evaluated over 2020–2030 under three scenarios of natural growth (NG), cropland protection (CP), and ecological protection (EP). The long-term spatial variations in carbon storage in the QLB are discussed. The results show that: (1) Carbon storage in the QLB decreased at first (1990–2000) and increased later (2000–2010), with total carbon storage increasing by 1.60 Tg C (Teragram: a unit of mass equal to 1012 g). From 2010 to 2015, carbon storage displayed a downward trend, with a sharp decrease in wetlands and croplands as the main cause; (2) Under the NG scenario, carbon reserves decrease by 0.69 Tg C over 2020–2030. These reserves increase significantly by 6.77 Tg C and 7.54 Tg C under the CP and EP scenarios, respectively, thus promoting the benign development of the regional ecological environment. This study improves our understanding on the impact of land-use change on carbon storage for the QLB in the northeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP).

Research Highlights: This study comprehensively revealed the carbon sequestration characteristics of secondary forests in the central Loess Plateau during vegetation succession. Background and Objectives: The secondary succession of Loess Plateau forests is of great significance in global climate change, but their carbon storage dynamics are poorly understood. The study objectives were to clarify the pattern of changes and contribution level of carbon stocks in various components of ecosystem during succession. Materials and Methods: We selected 18 plots for Pinus tabuliformis Carr. forest at the early stage of succession, 19 for pine-broadleaved mixed forest at the middle stage, and 12 for Quercus-broadleaved mixed forest at the climax stage to determine the tree, shrub, herb, fine root, litter, coarse wood debris (CWD), and soil carbon stocks. Results: Ecosystem carbon stocks increased from 160.73 to 231.14 Mg·ha−1 with the succession stages. Vegetation (including tree, shrub and herb) and soil were the two largest carbon pools, and carbon was mainly sequestrated in tree biomass and shallow soil (0–50 cm). In the early stage, soil contributed more carbon stocks to the ecosystem than vegetation, but with succession, the soil contribution decreased while vegetation contribution increased, finally reaching a balance (46.78% each) at the climax stage. Fine root, litter, and CWD contributed little (average 6.59%) to ecosystem carbon stocks and were mainly involved in the turnover of vegetation biomass to soil carbon. Conclusions: Our results provide direct evidence for carbon sequestration of secondary forests on the Loess Plateau. The dynamic results of carbon storage provide an important basis for forest restoration management under climate change.
