Abstract

The export of organic carbon from terrestrial ecosystems by erosion may play a central role in balancing the geological carbon cycle and Earth's climate over millennial timescales. However, constraints on organic carbon yields have come from sampling modern rivers that don't capture variation over decades to millennia driven by changing hydroclimate and erosion during extreme events. Here we use volumetric reconstructions of lake sedimentary fills to generate timeseries of sediment and organic carbon yields from two catchments draining the Southern Alps, New Zealand over the last millennium. The reconstructed yields indicate that earthquake-induced landslides significantly increase sediment and organic carbon yields, contributing to pulsed export that accounts for ~40% of the total. Between extreme events, organic carbon export increased twofold during centuries with a wetter reconstructed climate. Our findings suggest that the link between hydroclimate and organic carbon export may act as a negative feedback in the longer-term carbon cycle.

水文气候和极端事件驱动的山林长期碳输出。
陆地生态系统通过侵蚀输出的有机碳可能在平衡地质碳循环和千年时间尺度上的地球气候方面发挥核心作用。然而,有机碳产量的限制来自于对现代河流的采样,这些采样不能捕捉到几十年到几千年的变化,这些变化是由极端事件中水文气候变化和侵蚀造成的。在这里,我们使用湖泊沉积填充物的体积重建来生成过去一千年来新西兰南阿尔卑斯山两个集水区的沉积物和有机碳产量的时间序列。重建的产量表明,地震诱发的滑坡显著增加了沉积物和有机碳的产量,对脉冲输出的贡献约占总量的40%。在极端事件之间,有机碳输出在几个世纪内增加了两倍,重建气候更加湿润。我们的研究结果表明,在长期碳循环中,水文气候与有机碳输出之间的联系可能是一种负反馈。
