The impact of long-term agricultural drainage on concentration and composition of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in a boreal peatland in western Newfoundland
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Although peatlands cover only 2.84% of the world’s land area, they play a key role in the global C cycle and store one-third of the global soil carbon. Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) is one of the available forms of carbon in peatlands, which is lost from the peatland together with other forms of carbon, including dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and as the gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). DOC contains both biologically available (labile) and recalcitrant components. In peatlands, the influence of DOC on the C cycle is more significant than in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and thus understanding of any changes in DOC quality induced by peatland drainage is critical. The quality and quantity of DOC determine the further role of DOC in biogeochemical cycles. Accordingly, this study investigated the effects of agricultural drainage on DOC in a boreal peatland in western Newfoundland, by quantifying (concentration) and qualifying (composition) of DOC in two drained and natural peatland sites. The effect of microforms in the natural site on quality and quantity of DOC, was also examined. This study showed that long-term drainage increased DOC concentration both at the peat surface (10 cm) and at a depth of 40 cm by 32% and 47%, respectively. The quality of DOC was also affected by agricultural drainage and microforms (hummock or hollow). Agricultural drainage reduced the DOC aromaticity and transformed DOC from refractory to labile forms. In the natural sites, hummock had higher DOC concentration and showed more recalcitrant and humified DOC. Although DOC in both the drained and the natural site was mainly plant-driven regardless of the different vegetation compositions and microforms, DOC at the drained site was of a plant-derived source over microbially processed DOC throughout the peat layers. Increasing DOC concentration following agricultural drainage shifts the Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) from the microbial-derived source to a plant-derived source. Similarly, agricultural drainage increased the degree of humification at both peat depths. Comparing two different depths of sampling revealed that the shallower sampling depth had greatest differences in DOC quantity and quality across the drained and natural sites. It means that the variation in DOC caused by any management changes has an intensive effect on shallower peat layers. Furthermore, there is more humified microbially-sourced DOC found at the deeper peat layers. Results also demonstrated the different DOC concentration and composition associated with different plant communities in the drained site and different microforms in the natural site. Our study showed that establishment of reed canary grass followed by drainage in the drained peatland pasture site could introduce labile carbon compounds with a high degree of humification into the below ground environment during the growing season. Results of this study support the fact that land management activities (such as agricultural drainage) have effects on DOC quantity together with quality of peatlands and also have a profound effect in increasing labile DOC at the deeper layers, which can affect the carbon balance of boreal peatland ecosystems. This raises the possibility of managing the plant community to control DOC concentration to reduce carbon losses from peatlands. The effect of land management, plant community, and its effects on peat properties should be given more weight in large-scale carbon modeling.

Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
