Numerous methods for measuring or modeling gas transfer velocity exist, yet few studies compare these different methods. Additionally, current models of gas transfer velocity in streams are predominantly derived from measurements in low-gradient, temperate, or boreal streams. Here, we measured gas transfer velocity using four different methods in a high-energy, tropical headwater stream under a range of flow conditions, and compared these measurements to indirect estimates from four empirical models. Our results show that, when compared to the use of a biologically inert gas tracer (propane), floating chambers produced lower gas transfer velocity values. Using carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) as a tracer gas was unreliable without considering other natural sources and sinks of CO<sub>2</sub> and yielded gas transfer velocities lower than when using propane. Existing empirical models tended to underestimate gas transfer velocity, compared to the inert tracer gas. When using empirical models to upscale the emission flux along an entire stream reach, choice of model was more influential than the spatial resolution of model implementation. We also highlight the extreme spatial variability of gas transfer velocity across small spatial scales, which contrasts with its relative stability across changing hydrological conditions. The discrepancies between methods highlight the need for further research in measuring and upscaling gas transfer velocity, particularly in very turbulent steep streams.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JG008420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A peatland in central Europe (Germany, BBM) experienced high sulfur deposition during the Industrial Revolution, and an oceanic peatland (Chilean Patagonia, PBr) continuously exposed to aerosols from sea spray, were investigated. During early phases of site BBM, when sulfur deposition was constantly low, wet-chemical extractions indicated that 98% ± 0.7% of sulfur was present as organic sulfur. The S K-edge XANES fitting suggested that sulfur redox transformations mainly occurred near the water table, at which reduced sulfur forms (primarily organic sulfides, and thiols) increased from ∼40% to and stabilized at 65% ± 4% in anoxic peat. An increased contribution of reduced sulfur forms was observed in the polluted section of BBM and entire peat profile of PBr. While increases in reduced inorganic sulfur (TRIS) likely depended on available Fe, rises in the ratio of reduced organic sulfur to total organic sulfur from both sites were pronounced.

Our results showed SWC to have a strong significant effect on Rs throughout the year, whereas Ts was only a significant control when the soil was wet and Ts was below 20°C.
