Sources and Composition of Organic Carbon in Tropical River
发布时间：2024-02-02 14:34
河流输送的有机碳是全球碳循环的重要组成部分。它通过陆地和海洋储库中的再矿化和保存过程,对大气中CO2的平衡和控制格局起到了至关重要的作用。陆源有机物在陆海交互作用区(河口和海岸)的输运过程对当地和全球的环境扰动极为敏感。因此对这些区域中的陆源有机物特征的理解,往往有助于认识其控制源地的过程及预测其在海洋碳循环的潜在作用。全球气候变化引起的自然气候条件的变化(如超大洪水／台风或极端干旱)和全球人口增长导致的人为改变(如大坝建设,森林砍伐和密集农业)是影响陆地和水生环境中重要环境元素(如碳和氮)的生物地球化学循环的两个重要因素。热带地区是全球科学界的研究热点,因为这些地区的水生系统地理跨度大,在过去几十年中全球环境变化(降水变化和土地利用变化)对其影响巨大。研究这些地区的碳通量组成,将使我们更好地理解自然和人为过程对热带地区陆源有机物迁移和循环的影响。尽管在过去的二十年来,印度和中国这两个发展中国家普通经历了大规模的自然气候变化(如季风降水的减少和频发的极端台风事件)和人类活动改造(如土地利用格局的改变,流域上大坝的建设和人口的增长),然而印度和中国陆架边缘的热带地区却很少被研究。只有有限...
