Abstract

Evaluating the net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB) of legume-based grasslands is crucial for optimizing grassland management and assessing the sustainability of the milk and beef industries. This study investigated the NECB of a boreal legume grassland in eastern Finland from May 2017 to May 2020, covering the entire three-year rotation cycle. We found that the grassland showed interannual variability in carbon sequestration, fixing 220 g C m−2 in the first year, 334 g C m−2 in the second year, and losing 146 g C m−2 in the last year during the grassland renewal period. The study also examined the effects of mineral nitrogen fertilizer and digestate residue addition on the NECB of the grassland. No significant differences in net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange were observed between the two treatments, but the application of digestate slurry increased the NECB, suggesting that organic fertilizers could potentially enhance carbon sequestration and sustain ecosystem services. In conclusion, our findings emphasize the importance of developing climate-friendly renovation management practices that maximize the photosynthetic period in boreal legume grasslands. These practices, combined with the use of organic fertilizers, can contribute to improved carbon sequestration and support the sustainability of milk and beef industries that rely on grasslands.

Abstract

Research infrastructures play a key role in launching a new generation of integrated long-Term, geographically distributed observation programmes designed to monitor climate change, better understand its impacts on global ecosystems, and evaluate possible mitigation and adaptation strategies. The pan-European Integrated Carbon Observation System combines carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG; CO 2 , CH 4 , N 2 O, H 2 O) observations within the atmosphere, terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. High-precision measurements are obtained using standardised methodologies, are centrally processed and openly available in a traceable and verifiable fashion in combination with detailed metadata. The Integrated Carbon Observation System ecosystem station network aims to sample climate and land-cover variability across Europe. In addition to GHG flux measurements, a large set of complementary data (including management practices, vegetation and soil characteristics) is collected to support the interpretation, spatial upscaling and modelling of observed ecosystem carbon and GHG dynamics. The applied sampling design was developed and formulated in protocols by the scientific community, representing a trade-off between an ideal dataset and practical feasibility. The use of open-Access, high-quality and multi-level data products by different user communities is crucial for the Integrated Carbon Observation System in order to achieve its scientific potential and societal value.

Abstract

Indigenous broadleaf plantations are increasingly developing as a prospective silvicultural management approach for substituting in place of large pure conifer plantations in subtropical China. However, little information is known about the effects of tree species conversion on soil-atmosphere greenhouse gas (GHG) exchanges. Four adjacent monospecific plantations were selected in subtropical China to examine the effects of tree species on soil-atmosphere exchanges of NO, CH and CO. One coniferous plantation was composed of Pinus massoniana (PM), and the three broadleaf plantations were Castanopsis hystrix (CH), Michelia macclurei (MM) and Mytilaria laosensis (ML). We found that mean soil NO and CO emissions in the PM plantation were 4.34 μg N m h and 43.25 mg C m h, respectively, lower than those in the broadleaf plantations (>5.25 μg N m h and >56.38 mg C m h). The PM plantation soil had higher mean CH uptake (39.03 μg C m h) than the broadleaf plantation soils (<32.67 μg C m h). Variations in soil NO emissions among tree species could be primarily explained by the differences in litter C:N ratio and soil total N stock. Differences in soil CH uptake among tree species could be mostly attributed to the differences in mean soil CO flux and water filled pore space (WFPS). Litter C:N ratio could largely account for variations in soil CO emissions among tree species. This study confirms that there is no GHG benefit of converting PM plantation to broadleaf plantations in subtropical China. Therefore, the future strategy of tree species selection for substituting in place of large coniferous plantations in subtropical China needs to consider the potential effects of tree species on soil-atmosphere GHG exchanges.
