생태계와 대기 간의 가스 교환 메카니즘 규명을 위한 안정동위원소의 응용

국문 초록 (Abstract)

이 논문은 장기간에 걸쳐 논 생태계에서 측정된 이산화탄소와 메탄의 순교환량 과 이와 동시에 모니터링된 다양한 환경요소들과의 상관관계들을 살펴보고, 이들 플럭스와 환경 요소 및 생태계 요소들이 어떻게 교환된 이산화탄소와 메탄의 동위원소비에 영향을 미치는 지를 파악하고자 하였다. 생육기간 동안 관측된 이산화탄소 및 메탄의 순교환량은 는 담수기에는 각각 일사량과 토양온도의 변화에 따라 경시적인 변화를 보였으나, 낙수기를 전후해서는 토양에 저장되어 있던 가스들이 낙수 후 확산장벽이 사라짐으로 인해 급격히 대기 중으로 대량 방출되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 플럭스의 변화는 토양 중에 저장되어 있는 이산화탄소와 메탄의 저장량 감소와 직접적으로 연결되었고, 이에 상응하는 순교환량 중 토양의 기여분 증가와 대기 중 이산화탄소 및 메탄의 농도증가 및 동위원소비 변화가 관찰되었다. 이러한 변화는 환원상태에서 진행되는 메탄생성의 결과로, 기질인 이산화탄소는 상대적으로 무거운 ¹³C 동위원소가 축적되는 반면, 생성물인 메탄은 가벼운 ¹²C 동위원소가 축적되기 때문으로 판단된다. 따라서, 토양 유래 이산화탄소는 식물체 호흡 유래 이산화탄소와 구분되는 동위원소 특성을 지내게 된다. Keeling plot 혼합 모델로 추정된 이산화탄소와 메탄의 가스교환 동위원소 지문은 담수기와 낙수기에 걸쳐 매우 뚜렷한 변화를 보였으며, 그 변화 정도는 토양 중 가스 저장량, 교환된 플럭스의 크기 및 방향, 이동 경로, 부분적인 방출 이산화탄소의 재흡수도, 메탄의 산화정도 등에 의해 크게 달랐다. 본 연구의 결과들은 자연상태에서 관측된 플럭스와 결합된동위원소 기술이 생태계 내 다양한 가스 교환 메커니즘을 이해하는데 매우 유용한 도구가 될 수 있음을 보여주였다.

In comparison with other terrestrial ecosystems, rice paddies are unique because they provide the primary food source for over 50% of the world’s population, and act as major sources of global methane. The present paper summerizes a long-term field study that combine carbon isotopes, and canopy-scale flux measurements in an irrigated rice paddy, in conjugation with continuous monitoring of environmental, and vegetational factors. Both CO₂, and methane fluxes were largely influenced by soil temperature, and moisture conditions, especially across drainage events. Soil-entrapped CO₂, and methane showed a gradually increasing trend throughout growing season, but rapidly decreased upon floodwater drainage. These variations in flux were well correlated with changes in concentration, and isotope ratio of soil CO₂, and methane, and of atmospheric CO₂, and methane within, and above the canopy. The isotopic signature of the gas exchange process varied markedly in response to change in contribution of soil respiration, belowground storage, fraction of CO₂ recycled, magnitude, and direction of CO₂ exchange, transport mechanism, and fraction of methane oxidized. Our results clearly demonstrate that stable isotope analysis can be a useful tool to study underlying mechanisms of gas exchange processes under natural conditions.
