Drought may impact the net ecosystem exchange of CO2 （NEE） between grassland ecosystems and the atmosphere during growth seasons. Here, carbon dioxide exchange and controlling factors in alpine grassland under drought stress in the hinterland of Tibetan Plateau （Damxung, Tibet, China） were investigated. Data were obtained using the covariance eddy technique in 2009. Severe drought stress appeared in the early growing season （May to early July） and September. Drought conditions during the early growing season limited grass production and the green leaf area index （GLAD increased slowly, with an obvious decline in June. When encountering severe water stress, diurnal patterns of NEE in the growth season altered with a peak carbon release around 16：00 h or a second carbon uptake period before sunset. NEE variations in daytime related most closely with O other than PAR when daily averaged @〈0.1 m3 m 3. Seasonal patterns of gross primary production （GPP） and NEE were also influenced by drought： the maximum and minimum of daily-integrated NEE were 0.9 g C m-2 d-1 on 3 July 2009, and -1.3 g C m-2 d-1 on 12 August 2009 with a GPP peak （-2.3 g C m-2 d-1） on the same day, respectively. Monthly NEE from May to July remained as carbon release and increased gradually; peak values of monthly NEE and GPP both appeared in August, but that of ecosystem respiration （R^co） was reached in July. Annual NEE, GPP and Reco of the alpine grassland ecosystem were 52.4, -158.1 and 210.5 g C m-2, respectively. Therefore, the grassland was a moderate source of COs to the atmosphere in this dry year. Interannual variation in NEE was likely related to different water conditions in the growing season. The three greatest contributors to seasonal variation in NEE, GPP and R^co respectively were GLAI〉Ta〉O, GLAI〉O〉PPT, and Ta〉GLAI〉PAR. Seasonality of GLAI explained 60.7% and 76.1% of seasonal variation in NEE and GPP, respectively. GPP or NEE was more sensitive than Reco to variation in GLAI, and ecosystem
入侵植物通常由于具有较强的适应性而能够快速繁殖扩散,影响本土物种的生长繁殖,进而威胁到当地生态安全、景观格局和农业生产等。西藏生态环境非常脆弱,一旦发生恶性物种大面积入侵,生态后果不堪设想。为了探究入侵植物印加孔雀草(Tagetes minuta L.)对西藏东南生态安全的影响趋势,基于野外实地调查数据,采用最大熵(MaxEnt)模型,应用R语言平台对模型和数据进行优化筛选,探讨影响其地理分布的主要环境因子,并模拟预测了当代及2种气候变化情景(RCP 4.5、RCP 8.5)下,其在西藏的潜在适生区分布情况。结果表明:(1)训练数据集和测试数据集的受试者工作特征曲线下的面积(AUC)均为0.997,模拟效果较好;底层土壤酸碱度、最暖季降水量、土壤有效含水量、最暖月最高温度为影响印加孔雀草分布的主导环境因子,贡献率总和超过90%。(2)加查县、朗县是印加孔雀草分布密集区域,米林县、林芝市区、察隅县、墨脱县等地为入侵高风险地区。(3)中短期(2050年)内印加孔雀草适生面积增加明显,2070年时面积则会减少;印加孔雀草适生区在藏东南地区进一步向东北区域扩张,分布质心由当前的墨脱县域向波密县域转移。总体而言,印加孔雀草分布受土壤环境、温度和降水影响较大,气候变化将使其向西藏东部、南部扩张。研究结果对于西藏自治区制定植物入侵防控管理办法具有重要参考价值。
