Sediment OM is largely protected from aerobic mineralization under water saturated conditions but are vulnerable when exposed to oxygen during periods of drought. As climate change progresses, drought periods are likely to occur more frequently and may affect OM mineralization, and thus the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) from pond ecosystems. Therefore, we aimed to test how GHG emissions and concentrations in the sediment respond to drought by gradually decreasing water levels to below the sediment surface. To this end, undisturbed sediment cores from two small ponds with distinct watershed and water chemistry characteristics were incubated in mesocosms for 118 days at 20 °C. Water levels were sequentially tested at 3 cm above the sediment surface (Phase I) and at the level of the sediment surface (Phase II). In Phase III, water levels were continuously lowered either by evaporation or by active drainage including evaporation. Mean CH₄ fluxes of both ponds were high (21 and 87 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹), contributing 90 and 96% to the GHG budget over the three phases. The highest CH₄ fluxes occurred in Phase II, while active drainage strongly reduced CH₄ fluxes in Phase III. A multivariate analysis suggests that dissolved organic carbon and sulphate were important drivers of CH₄ fluxes in Phase III. CO₂ and N₂O fluxes also responded to declining water levels, but their contribution to the GHG budget was rather small. Both gases were primarily produced in the upper sediment layer as indicated by highest concentrations at 5 cm sediment depth. Compaction of sediment cores by water level lowering increased bulk density and maintained high water contents. This side effect, retarding the drying of the sediment surface, was possibly relevant for the GHG net emission of the sediments in Phase II and III. Overall, GHG fluxes from the sediments exhibited high sensitivity to falling water levels. This study suggests that drying pond sediments have great potential to emit large amounts of GHGs to the atmosphere in the event of drought, representing hot spots of GHGs in the landscape.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"168 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-025-01229-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745660","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}

Accurately predicting microbial respiration in soils has been challenged by the intricate resource heterogeneity of soil systems. This makes it difficult to formulate mathematical expressions for carbon fluxes at the soil bulk scale which are fundamental for soil carbon models. Recent advances in characterizing and modeling soil heterogeneity are promising. Yet they have been independent of soil structure characterizations, hence increasing the number of empirical parameters needed to model microbial processes. Soil structure, intended as the aggregate and pore size distributions, is, in fact, a key contributor to soil organization and heterogeneity and is related to the presence of microsites and associated environmental conditions in which microbial communities are active. In this study, we present a theoretical framework that accounts for the effects of microsites heterogeneity on microbial activity by explicitly linking heterogeneity to the distribution of aggregate sizes and their resources. From the soil aggregate size distribution, we derive a mathematical expression for heterotrophic respiration that accounts for soil biogeochemical heterogeneity through measurable biophysical parameters. The expression readily illustrates how various soil heterogeneity scenarios impact respiration rates. In particular, we compare heterogeneous with homogeneous scenarios for the same total carbon substrate and microbial biomass and identify the conditions under which respiration in heterogeneous soils (soils having non-uniform distribution of carbon substrate and microbial biomass carbon across different aggregate size classes) differs from homogeneous soils (soils having uniform distribution of carbon substrate and microbial biomass carbon across different aggregate size classes). The proposed framework may allow a simplified representation of dynamic microbial processes in soil carbon models across different land uses and land covers, key factors affecting soil structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"168 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-025-01223-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602362","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}

We synthesize a risk framework for anticipating how climate change and increasing salt pollution coming from both land and saltwater intrusion will trigger chain reactions extending from headwaters to tidal waters. Salt ions trigger ‘chain reactions,’ where chemical products from one biogeochemical reaction influence subsequent reactions and ecosystem responses. Different chain reactions impact drinking water quality, ecosystems, infrastructure, and energy and food production. Risk factors for chain reactions include shifts in salinity sources due to global climate change and amplification of salinity pulses due to the interaction of precipitation variability and human activities. Depending on climate and other factors, salt retention can range from 2 to 90% across watersheds globally. Salt retained in ecosystems interacts with many global biogeochemical cycles along flowpaths and contributes to ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ chain reactions associated with temporary acidification and long-term alkalinization of freshwaters, impacts on nutrient cycling, CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, CH&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;, N&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O, and greenhouse gases, corrosion, fouling, and scaling of infrastructure, deoxygenation, and contaminant mobilization along the freshwater-marine continuum. Salt also impacts the carbon cycle and the quantity and quality of organic matter transported from headwaters to coasts. We identify the double impact of salt pollution from land and saltwater intrusion on a wide range of ecosystem services.

These exudates support microbial activity and contribute to the formation of soil organic matter. While there is quite a lot of data on the exudation and acceleration of microbial activity in the rhizosphere of various plants, similar data concerning arctic plants, including willow, are scarce. Furthermore, there is a lack of data on the effect of C, N, P root stoichiometry on nutrient content in exudates and the rhizosphere microbiome during soil succession after deglaciation. In this study, we analysed various habitats of high-arctic tundra in Petuniabukta (Billefjorden, Svalbard), representing different stages of vegetation development. Our objectives were (i) to assess soil and rhizosphere carbon and nutrient content and availability, as well as microbial biomass CNP; (ii) to evaluate the rhizosphere effect on nutrient availability and the microbiome of arctic willow; and (iii) to measure root and exudation CNP and quality, primarily LMMOA, in arctic willow from the studied habitats.
