  • Impacts of Different Monin–Obukhov Parameterizations on Seasonal Turbulent Heat Flux Estimates Over Snow Surfaces
    Hiroki Ikawa; Manabu Nemoto; Takashi Hirano
    Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 131, 16, 1, 18, American Geophysical Union (AGU), 22 Aug. 2026, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Modeling of turbulent heat fluxes over snow surfaces almost exclusively depends on the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory. Within this framework, this study evaluates the impact of different parameterizations, including roughness lengths and stability correction functions, on half‐hourly estimates of sensible heat flux ( H ) and latent heat flux ( λE ) and their seasonal cumulative values over snow surfaces based on eddy covariance data for four winter seasons. The representative roughness lengths for momentum ( z 0 ), temperature ( z T ), and water vapor ( z q ) obtained by optimizing the agreement between modeled and observed H and λE during periods of sufficient snow cover were 7.19 × 10 −3  m, 5.88 × 10 −6  m, and 1.26 × 10 −8  m, respectively. Furthermore, using dual representative roughness lengths for high‐ and low‐albedo snow conditions improved the agreement between modeled and observed latent heat fluxes. Stable conditions accounted for 37% of the quality‐controlled flux data, and the choice of stability correction functions affected seasonal cumulative H estimates by up to 19%, highlighting the importance of accurately considering stability effects. We propose a simple yet physically interpretable stability correction function ( Ψ ) under stable conditions in the form of Ψ  =  α log(1 +  βζ ), where ζ is the stability parameter and α and β are empirical constants. While the values of α and β are site dependent, the functional form is expected to be applicable across a wide range of sites. Despite the improvement achieved using dual representative roughness lengths, temporal variability in z 0 remains a key challenge for further improving seasonal cumulative flux estimates.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Tropical peatlands are globally important, millennia-old carbon sinks, yet unprecedented human-driven degradation is triggering alarming carbon emissions. Comprehensive quantification of carbon dynamics across the disturbance sequence—from peat swamp forests to drained and fire-impacted peatlands—remains a critical knowledge gap. Here we show that over 18 years (1996–2014), drainage and subsequent peat fires released approximately 30–41 kg C m −2 from peatlands in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, using radiocarbon dating of peat profiles and groundwater dissolved organic carbon. Drainage contributed 5–11 kg C m −2 , primarily from centuries- to millennium-old, previously waterlogged peat. Fires released 23–32 kg C m −2 from peat accumulated over the past 3,000 years, initiating progressive oxidative decomposition of older peat. Extrapolation to Indonesia’s disturbed peatlands suggests a release of 0.81–3.70 Gt C between 1996 and 2014, with ongoing decomposition releasing an additional 0.03–0.08 Gt C annually, accelerating the impact on the global carbon balance., 13443393

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Peat decomposition is progressing in Southeast Asia due to lowered groundwater levels (GWL) caused by drainage. Additionally, droughts during El Niño events significantly lower the GWL, the main environmental factor that controls greenhouse gas (GHG; carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane) emissions in peatlands. Consequently, tropical peatlands have been recognized as a significant source of carbon emissions, and these emissions have been estimated for the region using constant decomposition rates of peat for each land use (Tier 1 emission factors). However, these factors hardly reflect the spatiotemporal variation of the GWL. Furthermore, these estimates do not account for CO 2 uptake through photosynthesis. To reduce uncertainty, we developed a method to estimate spatiotemporal GWL variation from satellite‐derived antecedent precipitation. Using the estimated GWL, we calculated the monthly net ecosystem‐scale GHG emissions from peat forests and managed peatlands using the observed relationship between eddy covariance GHG fluxes and GWL, though carbon losses from deforestation, fires, and fluvial export were not covered in this study. Spatiotemporal variations in GHG emissions across Sumatra, Borneo, and the Malay Peninsula over a decade revealed the following: (a) Peat forests are a net source of CO 2 ‐equivalent GHGs, even when undrained, (b) Decadal mean annual GHG emission rates increase 2.8‐fold when forests are drained and 6.4‐fold when undrained forests are converted to managed peatlands, (c) Droughts increase total annual GHG emissions by 16% across the study area. Additionally, climate models projected precipitation increase in the mid‐21st century, suggesting an increase in GWL and a consequent reduction in peat decomposition., 13443393

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ratified the Paris Agreement and have initiated their own efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the progress of these countries toward climate neutrality remains uncertain. Here, we estimated the combined budget for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) in Southeast Asia for 2000–2019 using bottom‐up and top‐down approaches. The CO2 emissions from deforestation were the largest source, followed by anthropogenic fire emissions, which together exceeded the CO2 uptake by natural vegetation and land‐use change legacy (e.g., regrowth), yielding a net source of CO2 in the biosphere. The region's biosphere was also a net source of CH4 and N2O, which, combined with the CO2 budget, makes the Southeast Asian biosphere a net source of GHGs to the atmosphere, ranging from 2,003.2 ± 406.1 Tg CO2eq yr−1 (bottom‐up) to 2,227.5 ± 572.8 Tg CO2eq yr−1 (top‐down) for 2000–2019. Among non‐biospheric GHG emissions (e.g., fossil fuels and waste‐related emissions), coal usage has resulted in an unprecedented increase in CO2 emissions. The total GHG budget (the biospheric GHG budget plus the non‐biospheric GHG fluxes) was calculated as a net source of 3,226.3 ± 406.2 Tg CO2eq yr−1 (bottom‐up) and 3,406.4 ± 572.9 Tg CO2eq yr−1 (top‐down) for 2000–2019. Our study revealed that Southeast Asia is experiencing the dual challenge of large emissions from deforestation and coal usage, necessitating the implementation of urgent mitigation strategies to ensure climate neutrality.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract. Eddy covariance observations play a pivotal role in understanding the land–atmosphere exchange of energy, water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and other trace gases, as well as the global carbon cycle and earth system. To promote the networking of individual measurements and the sharing of data, FLUXNET links regional networks of researchers studying land–atmosphere processes. JapanFlux was established in 2006 as a national branch of AsiaFlux. Despite the growing amount of shared data globally, the availability in Asia is currently limited. In this study, we developed an open dataset of the eddy covariance observations for Japan and East Asia, called JapanFlux2024, that was conducted by researchers affiliated with Japanese research institutions. The data were processed using selected standard methods from the FLUXNET community, with adaptations specific to the JapanFlux2024 dataset. Here, we present the data description and data processing and show the value of processed fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and CO2. The dataset will facilitate important studies for Japan and East Asia, such as land–atmosphere interactions, improvement of process models, and upscaling fluxes using machine learning and remote sensing technology, as well as bridge collaborations between Asia and FLUXNET.

  • Solar‐Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence as a Potential Proxy for Gross Primary Production and Methane Emission in a Cool‐Temperate Bog in Northern Japan

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    Wetlands play an essential role in the global greenhouse gas budget via carbon dioxide sequestration as well as methane emission. In recent decades, solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has been recognized as a remotely sensed proxy of gross primary productivity (GPP), which generates substrates for methane production. To examine the suitability of SIF for estimation of these two fluxes, we conducted ground tower‐based SIF observation with an ultrafine‐resolution spectroradiometer in conjunction with eddy covariance measurement in a cool‐temperate bog. The daily SIF retrieved in the red (687 nm) and far‐red (760 nm) bands (SIFred and SIFfar‐red, respectively) increased nonlinearly with GPP and linearly with absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR). The relatively weak correlation between apparent SIF yield (ΦSIF = SIF/APAR) and light use efficiency implied that both APAR and plant physiology constrained the SIF emission in this wetland. The SIFred/SIFfar‐red ratio showed a significant negative relationship with vegetation greenness indices, and the similar seasonal variation in SIFred and SIFfar‐red indicated that the SIFred reabsorption effect only weakly influenced the SIFred–GPP relationship. Episodic temporal reduction in the water table did not distinctly influence SIF and ΦSIF. Estimation of the methane emission rate was subtly improved by incorporating SIF, which was substituted for GPP as the methanogenesis substrate, in a multivariable regression analysis together with two environmental factors: soil temperature and water table depth. This study illustrates the potential of both SIFred and SIFfar‐red to monitor GPP and to predict methane emission in wetlands.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Tropical peatlands store copious amounts of carbon (C) and play a critical role in the global C cycle. However, this C store is vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic disturbances, leading these ecosystems to become weaker C sinks or even net C sources. Variabilities in water table (WT) greatly influence the magnitude of greenhouse gas flux in these biomes. Despite its importance in C cycling, observations of the spatiotemporal dynamics of tropical peatland WT are limited in spatial extent and length. Here, we use in situ WT measurements from tropical peatlands in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Peru to evaluate the satellite‐based Optical Trapezoid Model (OPTRAM). The model uses the pixel distribution in the shortwave infrared transformed reflectance and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) space to calculate indices that are then compared against in situ WT data. 30‐m resolution Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 images were utilized for model parameterization. We found OPTRAM to best capture tropical peatland WT dynamics in minimally forested and non‐forested areas (low to intermediate NDVI) (0.7 < R < 1) using the “best pixel” approach (the pixel with the highest Pearson‐R correlation value). In areas with relatively higher NDVI, OPTRAM index did not correlate with WT (average R of −0.04 to 0.24), likely due to trees being less sensitive to WT fluctuations. OPTRAM shows potential for reliably estimating tropical peatland WT without the need for direct measurements, which is challenging due to site remoteness and harsh conditions., 13443393
  • Large variation in carbon dioxide emissions from tropical peat swamp forests due to disturbances

    Communications Earth & Environment, 5, 1, 1, 9, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 25 Apr. 2024, [Peer-reviewed], [Lead author, Corresponding author]
    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    The huge carbon stock of tropical peat swamp forest (PSF) in Southeast Asia has been threatened by environmental disturbances due to quasi-periodic El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) droughts, biomass and peat burning, smoke haze, drainage, and deforestation. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from such disturbances have not been well quantified because of insufficient field data. Therefore, we quantified the ecosystem-scale CO2 balance and examine the disturbance effects from a long-term field experiment for 12–15 years at three PSF sites with different degrees of degradation in Indonesia. Here, we show a drastic change of an undrained PSF from a CO2 sink to a source owing to the transient groundwater lowering by the droughts, a significant decrease in ecosystem photosynthesis due to the radiation attenuation by smoke haze in drought years, and long-lasting CO2 emissions through enhanced peat decomposition by drainage. The impact on CO2 emissions was greater from drainage than drought-induced disturbances., 39714811;13443393;11048446;10554782;10180060

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Wetlands are responsible for 20%–31% of global methane (CH4) emissions and account for a large source of uncertainty in the global CH4 budget. Data‐driven upscaling of CH4 fluxes from eddy covariance measurements can provide new and independent bottom‐up estimates of wetland CH4 emissions. Here, we develop a six‐predictor random forest upscaling model (UpCH4), trained on 119 site‐years of eddy covariance CH4 flux data from 43 freshwater wetland sites in the FLUXNET‐CH4 Community Product. Network patterns in site‐level annual means and mean seasonal cycles of CH4 fluxes were reproduced accurately in tundra, boreal, and temperate regions (Nash‐Sutcliffe Efficiency ∼0.52–0.63 and 0.53). UpCH4 estimated annual global wetland CH4 emissions of 146 ± 43 TgCH4 y−1 for 2001–2018 which agrees closely with current bottom‐up land surface models (102–181 TgCH4 y−1) and overlaps with top‐down atmospheric inversion models (155–200 TgCH4 y−1). However, UpCH4 diverged from both types of models in the spatial pattern and seasonal dynamics of tropical wetland emissions. We conclude that upscaling of eddy covariance CH4 fluxes has the potential to produce realistic extra‐tropical wetland CH4 emissions estimates which will improve with more flux data. To reduce uncertainty in upscaled estimates, researchers could prioritize new wetland flux sites along humid‐to‐arid tropical climate gradients, from major rainforest basins (Congo, Amazon, and SE Asia), into monsoon (Bangladesh and India) and savannah regions (African Sahel) and be paired with improved knowledge of wetland extent seasonal dynamics in these regions. The monthly wetland methane products gridded at 0.25° from UpCH4 are available via ORNL DAAC (https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/2253).

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Borneo has accumulated an abundance of woody carbon in its forests and peat. However, agricultural land conversion accompanied by plantation development, dead wood burning, and peat drying from drainage are major challenges to climate change mitigation. This study aimed to develop a method of estimating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from land use change, forest and peat fires, and oxidative peat decomposition, and CO2 uptake from biomass growth across Borneo using remote sensing data from 2001 to 2016. Although CO2 uptake by biomass growth in vast forests has shown a significant increasing trend, an annual net release of 461.10 ± 436.51 (average ± 1 standard deviation) Tg CO2 year−1 was observed. The estimated emissions were predominantly characterized by land use changes from 2001 to 2003, with the highest emissions in 2001. Land use change was evaluated from annual land use maps with an accuracy of 92.0 ± 1.0% (average ± 1 standard deviation). Forest and peat fires contributed higher emissions in 2002, 2006, 2009, 2014, and 2015 compared to other years and were strongly correlated with the Southern Oscillation Indexes. These results suggest that more CO2 may have been released into the atmosphere than previously thought., 13443393

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Tropical peatlands cycle and store large amounts of carbon in their soil and biomass1–5. Climate and land-use change alters greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes of tropical peatlands, but the magnitude of these changes remains highly uncertain6–19. Here we measure net ecosystem exchanges of carbon dioxide, methane and soil nitrous oxide fluxes between October 2016 and May 2022 from Acacia crassicarpa plantation, degraded forest and intact forest within the same peat landscape, representing land-cover-change trajectories in Sumatra, Indonesia. This allows us to present a full plantation rotation GHG flux balance in a fibre wood plantation on peatland. We find that the Acacia plantation has lower GHG emissions than the degraded site with a similar average groundwater level (GWL), despite more intensive land use. The GHG emissions from the Acacia plantation over a full plantation rotation (35.2 ± 4.7 tCO2-eq ha−1 year−1, average ± standard deviation) were around two times higher than those from the intact forest (20.3 ± 3.7 tCO2-eq ha−1 year−1), but only half of the current Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier 1 emission factor (EF)20 for this land use. Our results can help to reduce the uncertainty in GHG emissions estimates, provide an estimate of the impact of land-use change on tropical peat and develop science-based peatland management practices as nature-based climate solutions.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    In general, it is known that extreme climatic conditions such as El Niño and positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD+) cause prolonged drought in Indonesia's tropical peatlands so that groundwater levels (GWL) drop and peat is prone to fire. However, 27 years of GWL measurements in Central Kalimantan peat forests show the opposite condition, where the lowest GWL occurs several weeks before El Niño and after IOD+ reaches its peaks. We show that the dropped sea surface temperature anomaly induced by anomalously easterly winds along the southern Java-Sumatra occurs several weeks before the GWL drop to the lowest value. Local rainfall decreased, and GWL dropped sharply by 1.0 to 1.5 m, during the super El Niño events in 1997/98 and 2015, as well as remarkable events of IOD+ in 2019. It is suggested that the tropical peatland ecohydrological system (represented by the GWL), El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and IOD+ are teleconnected. Hence, monitoring GWL variability of peatland over the IMC is a possibility an alert for extreme climate events associated with El Niño and/or moderate IOD+.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract. Methane (CH4) emissions from natural landscapes constitute roughly half of global CH4 contributions to the atmosphere, yet large uncertainties remain in the absolute magnitude and the seasonality of emission quantities and drivers. Eddy covariance (EC) measurements of CH4 flux are ideal for constraining ecosystem-scale CH4 emissions, including their seasonality, due to quasi-continuous and high temporal resolution of flux measurements, coincident measurements of carbon, water, and energy fluxes, lack of ecosystem disturbance, and increased availability of datasets over the last decade. Here, we 1) describe the newly published dataset, FLUXNET-CH4 Version 1.0, the first global dataset of CH4 EC measurements (available at https://fluxnet.org/data/fluxnet-ch4- community-product/). FLUXNET-CH4 includes half-hourly and daily gap-filled and non gap-filled aggregated CH4 fluxes and meteorological data from 79 sites globally: 42 freshwater wetlands, 6 brackish and saline wetlands, 7 formerly drained ecosystems, 7 rice paddy sites, 2 lakes, and 15 uplands. Then, we 2) evaluate FLUXNET-CH4 representativeness for freshwater wetland coverage globally, because the majority of sites in FLUXNET-CH4 Version 1.0 are freshwater wetlands and because freshwater wetlands are a substantial source of total atmospheric CH4 emissions; and 3) provide the first global estimates of the seasonal variability and seasonality predictors of freshwater wetland CH4 fluxes. Our representativeness analysis suggests that the freshwater wetland sites in the dataset cover global wetland bioclimatic attributes (encompassing energy, moisture, and vegetation-related parameters) in arctic, boreal, and temperate regions, but only sparsely cover humid tropical regions. Seasonality metrics of wetland CH4 emissions vary considerably across latitudinal bands. In freshwater wetlands (except those between 20° S to 20° N) the spring onset of elevated CH4 emissions starts three days earlier, and the CH4 emission season lasts 4 days longer, for each degree C increase in mean annual air temperature. On average, the onset of increasing CH4 emissions lags soil warming by one month, with very few sites experiencing increased CH4 emissions prior to the onset of soil warming. In contrast, roughly half of these sites experience the spring onset of rising CH4 emissions prior to the spring increase in gross primary productivity (GPP). The timing of peak summer CH4 emissions does not correlate with the timing for either peak summer temperature or peak GPP. Our results provide seasonality parameters for CH4 modeling, and highlight seasonality metrics that cannot be predicted by temperature or GPP (i.e., seasonality of CH4 peak). The FLUXNET-CH4 dataset provides an open-access resource for CH4 flux synthesis, has a range of applications, and is unique in that it includes coupled measurements of important CH4 drivers such as GPP and temperature. Although FLUXNET-CH4 could certainly be improved by adding more sites in tropical ecosystems and by increasing the number of site-years at existing sites, it is a powerful new resource for diagnosing and understanding the role of terrestrial ecosystems and climate drivers in the global CH4 cycle. All seasonality parameters are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4408468. Additionally, raw FLUXNET-CH4 data used to extract seasonality parameters can be downloaded from https://fluxnet.org/data/fluxnet-ch4-community-product/, and a complete list of the 79 individual site data DOIs is provided in Table 2 in the Data Availability section of this document.

    AbstractData on ecosystem‐scale methane (CH4) fluxes in tropical peatlands are currently lacking in the globalCH4budget. Although the waterlogged Indonesian peatlands contain the largest share of peat carbon in South‐East Asia, ecosystem‐scaleCH4budgets have not yet been reported, although these peatlands have the potential to emitCH4. We observed 1‐year variations in the ecosystem‐scaleCH4flux in an undrained secondary peat swamp forest in central Kalimantan, Indonesia, using the eddy covariance method. We found that the peat swamp forest switched from being aCH4sink during the dry season (as low as −8.9 mg C m−2 day−1) to a source ofCH4during the wet season (up to 10.7 mg C m−2 day−1), and this was dependent on changes in the groundwater level (GWL). The highGWLduring the wet season enhanced the anaerobicCH4production in the surface layer that had more labile organic matter. However, theCH4emission also increased when theGWLdropped during dry spells in the wet season. The annualCH4budget in the studied tropical peat swamp forest (0.09–0.17 g C m−2 year−1) was much lower than that in northern, temperate, and subtropical wetlands. We found thatCH4fluxes had almost no effect on the global warming gas budget of the peat swamp forest, and values were only a few percent less than theCO2fluxes at the same site. In addition, we conducted anaerobic soil incubation experiments to examine the effect of land‐use change onCH4production. The results indicated much higherCH4production potential in undrained forest soil than in drained or drained and burned ex‐forest soils. However, althoughCH4production decreased in drained soils relative to undrained soils, conserving pristine peat swamp forests with highGWLs is important to suppress global warming becauseCO2emissions increase in drained peatlands.

    English, Scientific journal, Evapotranspiration over forest surfaces is mainly constrained by environmental and forest structural components through their influence on surface conductance (Gs) and aerodynamic conductance (Ga). Tower based eddy covariance data from 16 forest sites in East Asia (2°S to 64°N) were used to examine the sensitivity of Matsumoto and Nakai models for predicting Gs and Ga, respectively. Daytime dry-canopy data for the growing season were used in this study. Comparisons between model predictions and observed Gs and Ga showed good agreement, suggesting that the models were suitable for predicting Gs and Ga with reasonable accuracy. However, the model for Gs was unable to predict Gs accurately when soil water content was low (∼10%). In this circumstance, effective soil water content and a more comprehensive method for modelling the soil water content function must be used. Gs in East Asia was largely depended on vapour pressure deficit and secondarily on soil water content. Ga was largely affected by leaf area index compared with stand density.

    English, Scientific journal, Evapotranspiration (ET) is not only a vital component of water budget, but also plays an important role in the energy budget of the earth-atmospheric system, ultimately driving many regional and global scale climatological processes. This paper describes the ET characteristics and factors controlling ET across the 17 forest sites in East Asia (2°S to 64°N latitude). ET was measured using the eddy covariance technique at each site. Daytime dry-canopy data for the growing season were used in this study. Growing season mean ET gradually decreased as latitude increased, with a range of 4.4 to 1.2 mm d−1. The growing season mean decoupling coefficient (Ω) ranged from 0.42 to 0.11 across the studied sites. At low-latitude forest sites, Ω was close to 0.50, indicating that the bulk surface was partially decoupled from the atmosphere and ET was strongly controlled by net radiation and vapour pressure deficit. At high-latitude forest sites, Ω was low (∼0.12), indicating that the bulk surface was well coupled to the atmosphere and ET was mainly controlled by surface conductance. The value of Ω was determined mainly by the ratio of aerodynamic conductance to surface conductance across the studied forests of East Asia.

  • Simulating carbon and water cycles of larch forests in East Asia by the BIOME-BGC model with AsiaFlux data

    English, Larch forests are widely distributed across many cool-temperate and boreal regions, and they are expected to play an important role in global carbon and water cycles. Model parameterizations for larch forests still contain large uncertainties owing to a lack of validation. In this study, a process-based terrestrial biosphere model, BIOME-BGC, was tested for larch forests at six AsiaFlux sites and used to identify important environmental factors that affect the carbon and water cycles at both temporal and spatial scales. The model simulation performed with the default deciduous conifer parameters produced results that had large differences from the observed net ecosystem exchange (NEE), gross primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (RE), and evapotranspiration (ET). Therefore, we adjusted several model parameters in order to reproduce the observed rates of carbon and water cycle processes. This model calibration, performed using the AsiaFlux data, substantially improved the model performance. The simulated annual GPP, RE, NEE, and ET from the calibrated model were highly consistent with observed values. The observed and simulated GPP and RE across the six sites were positively correlated with the annual mean air temperature and annual total precipitation. On the other hand, the simulated carbon budget was partly explained by the stand disturbance history in addition to the climate. The sensitivity study indicated that spring warming enhanced the carbon sink, whereas summer warming decreased it across the larch forests. The summer radiation was the most important factor that controlled the carbon fluxes in the temperate site, but the VPD and water conditions were the limiting factors in the boreal sites. One model parameter, the allocation ratio of carbon between belowground and aboveground, was site-specific, and it was negatively correlated with the annual climate of annual mean air temperature and total precipitation. Although this study substantially improved the model performance, the uncertainties that remained in terms of the sensitivity to water conditions should be examined in ongoing and long-term observations.

    English, Scientific journal, タイ南部のマングローブ林でC02と熱の交換の特性を雨季と乾季について調べた。林上のC02と熱フラックスの測定には2種類の改良傾度法(Monji et al.,2002)を用いた。1つは顕熱フラックスを渦相関法で求めて傾度との関係から拡散係数を求め、それをC02と水蒸気フラックスに適用する方法で、もう一つはこの森林の特定高度についてフラックスと傾度の関係、ここではΦm、Φh、とリチャードソン数の関係を求めておき、傾度法を適用する方法である。後者はかなり雨が激しいときに顕熱フラックスが渦相関法で求まらないときに用いた。熱フラックスについては雨季と乾季では大きな違いが見られた。雨天日には大きな上方向の潜熱フラックスがあり、これを補うように顕熱は大きく下方に運ばれていた。また、雨天日にはC02フラックスは日中でもわずかに上方向であった。全天日射量とC02フラックスの関係は雨季と乾季では大きな相違を示さなかった。 マングローブ林内の微気象を調べるために、プローブを上下させて測定を行った。林内に進入する汽水は熱環境やC02分布に影響を与えることがわかった。また、林内のCO2、は夜間に貯留され朝の日射の開始と共にそれが消費される様子が認められた。貯留の割合は風が強いときは林上のC02フラックスに比べると小さいが、弱風時には10%を超え、無視できない量であることがわかった。

    Japanese, Scientific journal, Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Naoyosi) plants were grown hydroponically at air temperatures of 28/24°C (D/N) and 300μmol m-2 s-1 PPF, in a walk-in type growth cabinet equipped with 3-band fluorescent lamps. For 0, 5, 30 or 120 min, blue-lighting at 30 μmol m-2 s-1 in PPF was applied daily just before the 14 h photoperiod (morning twilight) . Growth parameters were measured after 12 and 24 d of treatment. After 13 d of treatment, the stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and net photosynthetic rate were measured under 3-band fluorescent lamps at a PPF of 200 μmol m-2 s-1. At 17-19 d of treatment, changes in net photosynthetic rate affected by blue-light were measured continuously for 30 min. Fresh and dry weight, leaf area, plant height and stem diameter of plants were the greatest with bluelighting for 5 min. The stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and net photosynthetic rate after 13 d of treatment were greatest in the plants grown with supplemental blue-light for 5 min. The net photosynthetic rate for 5 min treatment increased by 60% as compared with that of control plants grown without lighting. Continuous measurements showed net photosynthetic rate to rise and the high level was maintained with 5 min blue-lighting treatment. These results indicate that the promotion of plant growth by blue-lighting during morning twilight is dependent on the lighting time. For cucumber seedlings, blue-lighting for 5 min was more effective for growth than for 30 and 120 min.

    Environmental Control in Biology, 36, 3, 177, 181, Japanese Society of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Engineers and Scientists, 1998, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, Scientific journal, In order to know the effect of supplemental UV-A irradiation on the growth of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Okayama) and radish (Raphanus sativus L, cv. Comet), these plants were grown under artificial irradiation with 3-band fluorescent lamps and additional UV-A lamps. The UV-A irradiation promoted shoot growth of both plants, and reduced the bitter taste intensity of mature lettuce leaves. However, the UV-A effects varied with stage of vegetative development. Moreover, there was no significant effect of the UV-A on the hypocotyl growth of radish plants.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Naoyosi) plants were grown hydroponically at air temperatures of 28/24°C (D/N) and 300 μmol m-2 s-1 PPFD, in a walk-in type growth cabinet equipped with 3-band fluorescent lamps. At 10, 30, 100, 200 μmol m-2 s-1 PPFD, supplemental blue-lighting was applied daily for 5min just before the 14h photoperiod (morning twilight).
    Growth parameters were measured after 7 and 14 days of treatment. After 13 days of treatment, the stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and photosynthetic rate were measured under 3-band fluorescent lamps at a PPFD of 300 μmol m-2 s-1. At 12-14 days of treatment, changes in photosynthetic rate were measured continuously for 30 minutes, after the end of supplemental blue-lighting.
    Dry weight, leaf area, stem diameter of plants were the greatest with blue-lighting at 30 μmol m-2 s-1 PPFD. The stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and photosynthetic rate after 13days of treatment were greatest in the plants grown with supplemental blue light at 30 and 100 μmol m-2 s-1 PPFD. The photosynthetic rate at 30 μmol m-2 s-1 PPFD increased by 23% as compared with that of control plants grown without supplemental lighting. Continuous measurements showed photosynthetic rate to rise, and the high level was maintained with 30 μmol m-2 s-1 PPFD blue-lighting treatment.
    These results indicate that the promotion of plant growth by supplemental blue-lighting at morning twilight is dependent on the lighting intensity.

    English, Scientific journal, In order to investigate the seasonal change of transpiration in mangrove species, the sap flow rates (Fs) in Bruguiera cylindrica were measured in southern Thailand, with a stem heat balance method. From the result, the transpiration rates (Tr) normalized by leaf area in wet and dry seasons were estimated to be 0.50 and 1.04 kg m-2 d-1 on the average, respectively. Tr in the dry season was rather high compared to that in the wet season. This was probably caused by the difference of meteorological conditions, such as solar radiation and air humidity. Moreover, stomatal conductance (gs) in 4 species, Rhizophora apiculata, Ceriops decandra, Xylocarpus moluccensis and B. cylindrica, was measured in the wet season with a porometry to investigate its interspecific difference. In all the species, gs reached a plateau at the PPFD of 200 to 400μmol m-2 s-1. The plateau in R. apiculata was estimated to be between 150 and 250 mmol m-2 s-1 ; the level is similar to that in evergreen trees in Japan. However, gs in the remaining 3 species was rather low.

    Environmental Control in Biology, 34, 1, 87, 90, Japanese Society of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Engineers and Scientists, 1996, [Peer-reviewed], [Lead author, Corresponding author]
    English, Scientific journal, The pneumatophores of Avicennia and Sonneratia species photosynthesize and the photosynthetically generated O2 is used for the respiration in the roots in subsoil. To understand the radiation environment of the pneumatophores, we measured solar radiation on the vertical surface (Rv) in the water with dye films. The Rv averaged over the daytime at a depth of 30 cm was similar to the light compensation points in the pneumatophores. From this result, it can be supposed that the photosynthesis nearly compensated the respiration at a depth of 30 cm and supplied O2 to the roots in subsoil at shallower places, even when the pneumatophores were submerged in the daytime.

  • Single and Combined Effects of O3, NO2 and SO2 on Net Photosynthetic Rate and Leaf Diffusive Conductance in Japanese Cedar Clones.

    Journal of Japan Society of Air Pollution, 30, 5, 327, 336, Japan Society for Atmospheric Environment, 1995, [Peer-reviewed], [Lead author, Corresponding author]
    Japanese, Scientific journal, The single and combined effects of O3, NO2 and SO2 on net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and leaf diffusive conductance (LDC) in 3-year-old Japanese cedar clones (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don, cv. Shibahara) were investigated. Moreover, the effects of air temperature (15, 25 and 35°C) and humidity (50 and 70% RH) on the response of Pn and LDC in the clones of two cultivars (Shibahara and Nakagen) to the mixture of 0.1 ppm O3 and NO2 were also investigated. At 25°C and 70% RH, the Pn and LDC in Shibahara clones did not reduce when they were exposed to 0.1 ppm O3, NO2 and SO2 alone for three hours. However, the exposure to the mixture of the three gases resulted in the significant reductions in Pn and LDC. The reduction in Pn was caused not only by reduction in stomatal conductance but also by that in mesophyll conductance.
    Although there were no effects of the mixture of 0.1 ppm O3 and NO2 on Pn, the effects on LDC depended on cultivars, air temperature and relative air humidity. By the exposure to the mixture of O3 and NO2, the LDC in Shibahara clones was significantly reduced at 15 and 35°C under the condition of 70% RH, while it was not reduced at 50% RH. On the other hand, no change in the LDC in Nakagen clones simultaneously exposed to O3 and NO2 was detected under all experimental conditions.

  • Estimating the Effect of Shading by Road Dust on the Photosynthesis of Satsuma Mandarin Tree
    HIRANO Takashi; KIYOTA Makoto; AIGA Ichiro
    Journal of Japan Society for Atmospheric Environment / Taiki Kankyo Gakkaishi, 26, 5, 352, 358, Japan Society for Atmospheric Environment, 1991, [Peer-reviewed], [Lead author, Corresponding author]
    Japanese, Scientific journal, In order to estimate the effect of road dust on photosynthesis by shading, dust load accumulated on leaf surface of satsuma mandarin trees were investigated. Dust load on leaf surface was indicated by the shading ratio, which was the fraction of light intercepted by the dust on the leaf.
    Dust load on lower surface of leaves were much less than that on upper surface. With the increase of distance from the road, the shading ratio decreased. The maximum value of the shading ratio was 30% at 1 m from the road. The shading ratio on leaves of roadside trees changed remarkably with the changes of traffic and precipitation. On inside leaves of the roadside trees' crown, the change of dust load was less than that on outside leaves.
    The effect of shading by road dust on the photosynthesis of satsuma mandarin trees was estimated every month from July to October in 1989 by using the shading ratio, solar radiation and a light curve of net photosyntheticrate of satsuma mandarin leaf. As a result, when the shading ratio was 10, 20 and 30%, it was estimated that the net photosynthesis of satsuma mandarin was decreased by 5, 9-12 and 16-19%, respectively.

    インドネシア・中カリマンタン州のサイトにおいては、フラックス観測タワーを用いた生態系スケールのメタンフラックス観測を継続して行っており、気象の年々変動を受けてどのように変動するかについてのデータが蓄積されつつある。新型コロナウィルスの拡大により現地でのデータ回収等が行えなくなったため、カウンターパートとオンライン会議システムを用いることで観測データの回収を継続している。
    入荷が遅れていたレーザーメタン計を用いた現地でのチャンバー法によるメタンフラックス観測の準備を整えた。しかしながら新型コロナウィルスの感染症の拡大により海外渡航し現地調査できない状況となっている。そのため過去に採取した様々な土地利用条件下の熱帯泥炭地の地下水中溶存有機態炭素の量と質の分析及びデータ解析を進めた。インドネシア・スマトラ島のリアウ州(未火災の泥炭地二次林・複数回の火災を受けた焼け跡や後に小規模オイルパーム農園化した泥炭地・アカシアプランテーションから流出する排水路の水・天然泥炭湿地林など)とカリマンタン島の中カリマンタン州(未排水の泥炭湿地然林・排水泥炭林・複数回火災を受けた焼け跡)を含む約250個の試料について、燃焼式吸光光度法によるDOC濃度測定、EEMSによるDOMの蛍光特性分析を行った。クラスター解析及び主成分分析を行ったところ、土地利用ごとに個別のクラスターとして分類され、現在、既に得られている水質データと合わせてデータを検討している。これまでの結果から、火災を受けた泥炭地下水のDOCの性質は未火災の泥炭地のものとは異なることなどが示唆された。

    The original plan was to develop the forest inventory network with numerous plots over Southeast Asian tropical forests and conduct synthesized forest carbon balance analyses. However, we did not complete most of the plan because of the worldwide covid situation. Under such a situation, we (1) were successful in arranging some highland mixed forest plots in Vietnam, (2) clarified that the effects of illegal logging are critical in evaluating the total forest carbon balance in Myanmar, (3) suggested twice more total forest carbon stock than the previous estimation via revisiting the total Japanese forest inventory data, and (4) successfully developed an individual-based forest dynamics model, which can be applied for the global-scale simulation.

    We examined the feasibility of estimating forest biomass changes using two airborne LiDAR measurements of forest height acquired 10 yr apart (2004 and 2014) over the Teshio Experimental Forest (225 km2) of Hokkaido University in northern Japan, with 1 ha spatial resolution.
    The average of the decadal net biomass change was 4.18 (±6.64 SD) MgC/ha having large spatial variation. Estimated values were comparable with the results obtained from ground surveys or tower flux observations. Decadal net biomass change was significantly lower at high elevation, north facing slope, steep slope, large tree height variance, and coniferous forest, and significantly higher at south facing slope, deciduous forest, and secondary forest. The photosynthetic biomass increase was linearly correlated with the decadal average of the MODIS NDVI and Green ratio, which implies the application of satellite vegetation indices to further large scale estimation of forest biomass changes

    Terrestrial carbon budget in Asia was analyzed using network data of site observation (e.g. AsiaFlux), remote sensing data, and terrestrial ecosystem models. Data-driven terrestrial CO2 fluxes were estimated using AsiaFlux observation and remote sensing data with a machine learning method. The data-driven estimation of CO2 fluxes were further evaluated with outputs from multiple terrestrial biosphere models, and we found consistent interannual variations and gradual increases in CO2 sink in Siberia. We also found large model-data differences in tropical Asia region.

    We have continuously measured fluxes of CO2 and water vapor above 11 tropical forests in Southeast Asia. Using the long-term monitoring data, gas exchange processes (photosynthesis, respiration and evapotranspiration) were examined. As a result, factors controlling the gas exchange processes were determined, and the effect of a precipitationpattern on the gas exchange processes was elucidated.

    We compared evapotranspiration and carbon balance between areas dominated by sphagnum species and vascular plats,"sasa" using flux monitoring data. Evapotranspiration during the snow-free season was higher at the sphagnum area than the sasa area, which does not support a hypothesis that the invasion of sasa plants with root systems dries the Sarobetsu Mire. The carbon balance during the snow-free season shows that both the ecosystems functioned as net CO_2 sinks to the atmosphere. In 2010, which had a very hot summer, net CO_2 uptake increased in the sphagnum area, whereas it decreased in the sasa area mainly because of increased ecosystem respiration due to high temperature.

    A plantation (42°44'N, 141°31'E) of Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi Sarg.) in Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan was destroyed by Typhoon Songda in September 2004. About 90% trees were blown down by strong wind. In this study, we compared vegetation properties, biomass and net ecosystem CO_2 uptake (NEP) before and after the typhoon damage. Before the typhoon damage, this forest was a 45-year-old plantation of Japanese larch with some broad-leaved trees. The canopy height was 15 m and the maximum leaf area index (LAI) was 5.6m^2 m^<-2>. After the typhoon, all stems of larch trees were removed from ...

    In the Mid of Siberian Taiga, long term field measurements at disturbed and control sites on Carbon budget, heat and mass transfers were conducted. As to investigation, two observation towers were installed. Before disturbance intact Taiga forest absorbed carbon dioxide by 86mg/m^2.day, but after disturbance carbon dioxide was emitted from the ground by 140 mg/m2.day due to the loss of vegetation and increase of soil respiration. Loss of surface vegetation resulted in the increase of flux heat to the ground by 20% and it caused the large scale thawing of upper permafrost. The long term file...

    Tropical peatlands, which coexist with swamp forests, have accumulated vast amounts of carbon as soil organic matter. Since the 1970s, however, deforestation and drainage have progressed on an enormous scale. In addition, El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) drought and large-scale fires, which grow larger under the drought condition, are accelerating peatland devastation. That devastation enhances decomposition of soil organic matter and increases the carbon release to the atmosphere as CO_2. This phenomenon suggests that tropical peatlands have already become a large CO_2 source, but r...

    In order to study the relationship between landwater and bioproduction, the heat storage and lake effect in Lake Toya, and the characteristics of hydro-meteorology in Zanbeji river flood plain, Zambia, were invesitigated. The results are summarized as follows;In Lake Toya, because of large heat storage in the lake, there was the phase difference of about 6 months between land and water surfaces in the change of effective energy. Such phase difference has coursed the lake effect. The lake effects in Lake Toya were strongly generated in summer than in winter because the cold air on the water ...

  • 渦集積法の実用化とそれによる森林内微量気体の乱流輸送の研究
    科学研究費補助金(一般研究(C))
    1994 - 1994
    文字 信貴; 鱧谷 憲; 平野 高司
    増え続ける温室効果気体が地球の気候環境を変えることが懸念されているが,大気の微量気体がどの程度の量,どの様なメカニズムで,さまざまな地表から出ているか,あるいは植生などによって吸収されているが明確にされていないことは気候変化の予測を困難にする一因となっている.これは,微量気体の動態の測定技術が未開発であることが原因である.微量気体の交換過程は大気乱流の混合がその役割を果たす.したがって,微量気体濃度の乱流変動をさまざまな植被上などではかる必要があるが,現在の技術では分析器の応答性,安定性に限界がある.この点を解決する方法として提案されたのが渦集積法である.渦集積法は気流が上向きの成分と下向きの成分を持つ場合にわけてそれぞれ空気を別々にその成分の大きさに比例して容器に収集し,それぞれの濃度を計測する方法である.しかし,誤差が大きいため,条件を緩和して空気の収納を定速で行う簡易渦集積法が提案されている.本研究ではその方法を実用化するためにサンプリング装置を開発し,森林で試験観測を実施した.観測は滋賀県南部の針葉樹林で行った.この簡易渦集積法では係数を実験によって決定しなければならない.そのために,すでに乱流変動の測定が可能な赤外線の二酸化炭素変動計をもちいて直接的な渦相関法により二酸化炭素のフラックスを求め,その一方でサンプルした二つの容器の二酸化炭素濃度は購入した赤外線分析計を...

  • 緑化樹のNO_2吸収機能および温湿度環境緩和機能に関する基礎的研究
    科学研究費補助金(奨励研究(A))
    1993 - 1993

    本研究では、緑化樹の大気浄化(NO_2吸収)機能と温湿度環境緩和機能を評価するための基礎的な実験データを得ることを目的として、いくつかの条件で植物のNO_2吸収速度、蒸散速度、光合成速度および葉温を同時測定し、それらの相互関係を調べた。実験は現有の人工光型グロースチャンバー内に設置した開放系のガス交換測定システム(同化箱法)を用いて行い、ガス濃度差などの出力データは設備備品として購入したパソコンを用いてガス交換速度に変換した。システムへのNO_2の吸着ができるだけ少なくなるように、配管にはステンレス、あるいはテフロン製のものを用い、また同化箱の壁面をテフロンシートで被覆したが、吸着量は温度条件などにより変化した。そのため、まず植物を入れる前の段階でシステムへのNO_2吸着量に与える測定条件の影響を調べ、測定値を補正する方法を検討した。植物材料には鉢植えのポプラのクローン苗(系統:I-214)を用いた。土壌水分が十分、大気の飽差が一定の条件で気温とひかり強度を変化させて実験を行った結果、NO_2吸収速度、蒸散速度、光合成速度は同様に変化し、気温15〜35℃で光強度500mumolm^<-2>s^<-1>(PPFD)以下では、それぞれのガス交換速度間の関係はほぼ直線となった。これらの関係は、気孔コンダクタンスによって説明できることが認められた。現在、大気湿度を変化させて同様の実験...
