摘要

由于净初级生产力较低,且自然扰动强烈,荒漠生态系统往往被认为是一巨大碳源。然而,近年来世界范围内的研究发现,荒漠地区的土壤能够吸收大量大气CO2,但该过程因为不能从机理上得到充分地解释而饱受争议。通过深入讨论该反常的碳过程及其可能的驱动机制,认为荒漠土壤吸收大气CO2现象是客观存在的,热力机制、地表湍流和压力梯度改变驱动气体运动机制可能是该过程发生的重要驱动机制。但就目前而言,因无直接证据表明在自然状态下,荒漠地区土壤吸收的碳会普遍且快速运移至地下水体中或矿化封存于土壤中,所以尚不能断言荒漠地区土壤是一个碳汇。未来该领域的研究应关注荒漠地区土壤液相碳的运移问题,尤其关注其气相转化和矿化过程。

Abstract

Because the net primary productivity is low and disturbance effect are strong, desert ecosystems have been proposed conventionally as a carbon source. However, studies worldwide in recent years have reported that desert soils can absorb atmospheric CO2, and the absorbed carbon may be conserved in soils or aquifers. As the carbon uptake is counterintuitive and the mechanisms of this process are elusive, the authenticity of this process is still grossly controversial. In this paper, we deeply discussed the authenticity of the anomalous carbon absorption and its possible driving mechanisms, and conclude that the counterintuitive process is authentic. The thermal mechanism, surficial turbulence and pressure gradients variations driving CO2 migration may be the important driving mechanisms. However, heretofore, no direct evidence can be provided for the speculation that the carbon absorbed by desert soils can commonly and rapidly transport into underground water or mineralize and sequestrate in soil. As a result, the role of carbon sink of desert soils remains veiled. It was suggested that future researches should focus on the transportation and emphatically focus on the gaseous transformation and mineralization of the liquid phase carbon.
