英文摘要 | Characterizing the carbon and water economy of non-commercial urban citrus orchards can help determine their value in urban settings. This includes provisions of urban ecology and ecosystem services, such as shade, conservation of biodiversity, and carbon sequestration, under space and water limitations that may be particularly suitable in the semi-arid Mediterranean regions. We carried out canopy-scale eddy covariance (EC) measurements of net ecosystem CO 2 exchange (NEE) and evapotranspiration (ET), partitioned these fluxes to their components using chamber-based soil fluxes, and combined them with carbon stock to provide a first approximation of the apparent ecosystem carbon turnover rate (tau(eco)). The urban orchard switched from a carbon sink of 0.6 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) to a carbon source of 0.2 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) between winter and summer, with a first approximation of the annual carbon storage capacity of similar to 75.3 g m(-2) and a total carbon accumulation over its 40 year life span of similar to 3014 g m(-2). Carbon accumulated predominantly below ground (67 % of total), and soil CO2 effluxes showed low sensitivity to temperature (Q(10) similar to 1.6) and therefore also to climate warming, but also a fast C turnover rate (similar to 5.4 y), and therefore sensitivity to disturbances. The rates of ET increased from 0.40 to 1.25 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) between the wet and dry seasons, and was similar to 50 % of a similar nearby commercial orchard. Partitioning of the ecosystem carbon and water fluxes indicated high canopy water use efficiency (11.7 mu mol CO2/mmol H2O; during the peak activity period). We demonstrate the potential of urban citrus orchards with low supplemental irrigation (50 % compared with commercial orchards in the area) to store significant amounts of carbon with high transpiration efficiencies. The results will help decision making in regard to urban tree planting and the ecological management of urban green spaces and community use in water-limited environments. |
