摘要

Fossil fuel combustion has increased atmospheric CO_2 by ≈ 115 μmol mol~(-1) since 1750 and decreased its carbon isotope composition (δ~(13)C) by 1.7-2‰(the 13C Suess effect). Because carbon is stored in the terrestrial biosphere for decades and longer, the δ~(13)C of CO_2 released by terrestrial ecosystems is expected to differ from the δ~(13)C of CO_2 assimilated by land plants during photosynthesis. This isotopic difference between land-atmosphere respiration (δ_R) and photosynthetic assimilation (δ_A) fluxes gives rise to the 13C land disequilibrium (D). Contemporary understanding suggests that over annual and longer time scales, D is determined primarily by the Suess effect, and thus, D is generally positive (δ_R>δ_A). A 7 year record of biosphere-atmosphere carbon exchange was used to evaluate the seasonality of δ_A and δ_R, and the 13C land disequilibrium, in a subalpine conifer forest. A novel isotopic mixing model was employed to determine the δ~(13)C of net land-atmosphere exchange during day and night and combined with tower-based flux observations to assess δ_A and δ_R. The disequilibrium varied seasonally and when flux-weighted was opposite in sign than expected from the Suess effect (D =-0.75 ± 0.21‰or -0.88 ± 0.10‰depending on method). Seasonality in D appeared to be driven by photosynthetic discrimination (Δ_(canopy)) responding to environmental factors. Possible explanations for negative D include (1) changes in Δ_(canopy) over decades as CO_2 and temperature have risen, and/or (2) post-photosynthetic fractionation processes leading to sequestration of isotopically enriched carbon in long-lived pools like wood and soil.
