Abstract:
In order to scientifically assess the impact of land use/cover changes on carbon cycle of coastal blue carbon wetland ecosystem,it is important to reveal the effect of conversion of estuarine marshes to aquaculture ponds on soil extracellular enzyme activity and greenhouse gases production. Soil samples(0~30cm)from the Phragmites australis marshes,Cyperus malatensis marshes and Spartina alterniflora marshes,and 0~30 cm sediment samples from the shrimp ponds reclaimed from the above marshes were collected in the Min River estuary. The soil/sediment extracellular enzyme activity,and CO2,CH4 production potentials were measured via anaerobic incubation experiment. Compared with the marshes,the average value of activity of 4 extracellular enzymes in the shrimp ponds decreased by 27.3%. The production potentials of carbon greenhouse gases significantly changed after estuarine marshes converting to shrimp ponds. The CO2 production potentials of the P. australis marshes,C. malaccensis marshes,S. altemiflora marshes increased by 5.1%,38.5% and 38.8%,respectively,and the CH4 production potentials reduced by 24.9%,11.1% and 21.1%,respectively,and the organic carbon anaerobic mineralization rates increased by 4.9%,38.6% and 38.4%,respectively. The SOC content was key factor affecting the soil/sediment extracellular enzyme activity. The extracellular enzyme activity and conductivity were main factors controlling organic carbon anaerobic mineralization rate of the marshes soils and shrimp ponds sediments,respectively. The study results show that conversion from marsh to shrimp ponds in the Min River estuary increase organic carbon anaerobic mineralization rate,which may cause more loss of soil organic carbon,and is unfavorable to reach carbon goal of peak and neutrality and to mitigate global climate warming. © 2023 Science Press.
