摘要
红树林对热带和亚热带沿海地区的有机碳起着重要的固碳作用,占沿海沉积物中碳沉积总量的15%。固存有机碳既存在于直立植物生物量中,也存在于地下根系生物量和红树林土壤中。由于无法获得斯里兰卡红树林生态系统碳保持能力的定量数据,迫使作者开展了本研究,目的是估计斯里兰卡Batticaloa泻湖红树林生态系统的生态系统总碳含量。这是位于东海岸最大的泻湖,也是该国第三大咸淡水系统。按标准程序采集植被结构数据,用异速生长法测定红树林生物量。采用重铬酸盐氧化法和比色法测定了红树林土壤0 ~ 15 cm、16 ~ 30 cm和31 ~ 45 cm 3个深度的总有机碳(TOC)。红树林植物总生物量为298 Mg ha-1,其中地上部分生物量为246 Mg ha-1,地下部分生物量为52 Mg ha-1。生物量中TOC含量为158 Mg C ha-1,其中地上部分为131 Mg C ha-1,地下部分为27 Mg C ha-1。红树林土壤(深度达45 cm) TOC为348 Mg C ha-1。计算得出Batticaloa泻湖红树林生态系统总TOC为506 Mg C ha-1。红树林土壤吸收了68%的有机碳,构成了红树林碳汇的最大部分。地下成分仅占总碳库的5%,而地上生物量保留的碳是根系生物量的5倍(26%)。这些结果有助于红树林生态价值的实际评估,并为红树林的保护和管理提供依据。
Ecosystem Carbon Stock of Mangroves at the Batticaloa Lagoon, Sri Lanka
Mangroves play an important role in sequestering organic carbon in tropical and subtropical coastal areas, accounting up to 15% of the total carbon deposited in coastal sediments. Sequestered organic carbon occurs both in standing plant biomass, as well as in the below ground root biomass and mangrove soils. Unavailability of quantitative data on carbon retention capacity of Sri Lankan mangrove ecosystems compelled the authors to carry out the present study with the objective of estimating the total ecosystem carbon content in mangrove eco systems in the Batticaloa lagoon, Sri Lanka. This is the largest lagoon situated on the east coast and the third largest brackish water system in the country. Data on vegetation structure were gathered according to the standard procedures and biomass of mangrove trees was determined by the Allometric method. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in three depths, (0-15 cm, 16-30 cm and 31-45 cm) of mangrove soils was determined by dichromate-oxidation method followed by colorimetry. Total mangrove plant biomass was found to be 298 Mg ha-1, of which 246 Mg ha-1 was in the above ground components of the plants while 52 Mg ha-1 was in the below ground components. TOC embedded in biomass was calculated to be 158 Mg C ha-1out of which 131 Mg C ha-1was found to occur in above ground and 27 Mg C ha-1in below ground components. TOC in mangrove soils (up to 45 cm depth) was revealed to be 348 Mg C ha-1. The total TOC of mangrove ecosystems in the Batticaloa lagoon was calculated to be 506 Mg C ha-1. Mangrove soils that sequester 68% of the organic carbon forms the largest fraction of the mangrove carbon sink. Below ground components account for only 5% of the total pool while the above ground biomass retains five times more (26%) carbon than the root biomass. These results assist pragmatic evaluation of ecological value of mangroves and justify their conservation and management.
