摘要

The predicted increase in the frequency and intensity of climate extremes is expected to impact terrestrial carbon fluxes to the atmosphere, potentially changing ecosystems from carbon sinks to sources, with positive feedbacks to climate change. As the second largest terrestrial carbon flux, soil CO_2 efflux or soil respiration (Rs) is strongly influenced by soil temperature and moisture. Thus, climate extremes such as heat waves and extreme drought should have substantial impacts on Rs. We investigated the effects of such climate extremes on growing season R_s in a mesic grassland by experimentally imposing 2 years of extreme drought combined with midsummer heat waves. After this 2 year period, we continued to measure R_s during a recovery year. Two consecutive drought years reduced R_s by about 25% each growing season; however, when normal rainfall returned during the recovery year, formerly droughted plots had higher rates of R_s than control plots (up to +17%). The heat wave treatments had no effect on Rs, alone or when combined with drought, and during the growing season, soil moisture was the primary driver of R_s with little evidence for R_s temperature sensitivity. When compared to aboveground net primary production, growing season R_s was much less sensitive to drought but was more responsive postdrought. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that ecosystems become sources of CO_2 during drought because carbon inputs (production) are decreased relatively more than outputs (respiration). Moreover, stimulation of R_s postdrought may lengthen the time required for net carbon exchange to return to predrought levels.
