  Water Stable Isotopes in Ecohydrological Field Research: Comparison Between In Situ and Destructive Monitoring Methods to Determine Soil Water Isotopic Signatures
  2020 Front Plant Sci, Band: 11

  Kurzfassung

  Ecohydrological isotope based field research is often constrained by a lack of temporally explicit soil water data, usually related to the choice of destructive sampling in the field and subsequent analysis in the laboratory. New techniques based on gas permeable membranes allow to sample soil water vapor in situ and infer soil liquid water isotopic signatures. Here, a membrane-based in situ soil water vapor sampling method was tested at a grassland site in Freiburg, Germany. It was further compared with two commonly used destructive sampling approaches for determination of soil liquid water isotopic signatures: cryogenic vacuum extraction and centrifugation. All methods were tested under semi-controlled field conditions, conducting an experiment with dry-wet cycling and two isotopically different labeling irrigation waters. We found mean absolute differences between cryogenic vacuum extraction and in situ vapor measurements of 0.3–14.2‰ (δ18O) and 0.4–152.2‰ (δ2H) for soil liquid water. The smallest differences were found under natural abundance conditions of 2H and 18O, the strongest differences were observed after irrigation with labeled waters. Labeling strongly increased the isotopic variation in soil water: Mean soil water isotopic signatures derived by cryogenic vacuum extraction were -11.6 ± 10.9‰ (δ18O) and +61.9 ± 266.3‰ (δ2H). The in situ soil water vapor method showed isotopic signatures of -12.5 ± 9.4‰ (δ18O) and +169.3 ± 261.5‰ (δ2H). Centrifugation was unsuccessful for soil samples due to low water recovery rates. It is therefore not recommended. Our study highlights that the in situ soil water vapor method captures the temporal dynamics in the isotopic signature of soil water well while the destructive approach also includes the natural lateral isotopic heterogeneity. The different advantages and limitations of the three methods regarding setup, handling and costs are discussed. The choice of method should not only consider prevailing environmental conditions but the experimental design and goal. We see a very promising tool in the in situ soil water vapor method, capturing both temporal developments and spatial variability of soil water processes.

  A pool-weighted perspective on the two-water-worlds hypothesis

  Kurzfassung

  The ‘two‐water‐worlds’ hypothesis is based on stable isotope differences in stream, soil and xylem waters in dual isotope space. It postulates no connectivity between bound and mobile soil waters, and preferential plant‐water‐uptake of bound soil water sources. We tested the pool‐weighted impact of isotopically distinct water pools for hydrological cycling, the influence of species‐specific water use and the degree of ecohydrological separation. We combined stable isotope analysis (δ18O and δ2H) of ecosystem water pools of precipitation, groundwater, soil and xylem water of two distinct species (Quercus suber, Cistus ladanifer) with observations of soil water contents and sap flow. Shallow soil water was evaporatively enriched during dry‐down periods, but enrichment faded strongly with depth and upon precipitation events. Despite clearly distinct water sources and water‐use strategies, both species displayed a highly opportunistic root‐water‐uptake pattern. Here we offer an alternative explanation, showing that the isotopic differences between soil and plant water vs groundwater can be fully explained by spatio‐temporal dynamics. Pool weighting the contribution of evaporatively enriched soil water reveals only minor annual impacts of these sources to ecosystem water cycling (c. 11% of bulk soil water and c. 14% of transpired water).

  Nitrogen Loading Enhances Stress Impact of Drought on a Semi-natural Temperate Grassland
  2019 Front Plant Sci, Band: 10, Seiten: 1 - 16
  » Kurzfassung anzeigen« Kurzfassung verbergen
  Kurzfassung

  Two important threats to the sustainable functioning of seminatural grasslands in temperate zones are (1) nutrient loading due to agricultural fertilization and pollution, and (2) the increase of extreme drought events due to climate change. These threats may cause substantial shifts in species diversity and abundance and considerably affect the carbon and water balance of ecosystems. The synergistic effects between those two threats, however, can be complex and are poorly understood. Here, we experimentally investigated the effects of nitrogen addition and extreme drought (separately and in combination) on a seminatural temperate grassland, located in Freiburg (South Germany). To study the grassland response, we combined eddy-covariance techniques with open gas exchange systems. Open gas exchange chambers were connected to an infrared gas analyzer and water isotope spectrometer, which allowed the partitioning of net ecosystem exchange and evapotranspiration. Vegetation parameters were described by species richness, species abundance, and leaf area index. Our results suggest that grassland communities, strongly weakened in their stress response by nitrogen loading, can substantially lose their carbon sink function during drought. While nitrogen addition caused a significant loss in forb species (−25%), precipitation reduction promoted a strong dominance of grass species at season start. Consequently, the grass-dominated and species-poor community suffered from a strong above-ground dieback during the dry summer months, likely caused by lower water use efficiency and weaker drought adaptations of the species community. Over the growing season (April-September), the carbon sequestration of the studied grassland was reduced by more than 60% as a consequence of nitrogen addition. Nitrogen addition in combination with precipitation reduction decreased carbon sequestration by 73%. Eutrophication can severely threaten the resilient functioning of grasslands, in particular when drought periods will increase as predicted by future climate scenarios. Our findings emphasize the importance of preserving high diversity of grasslands to strengthen their resistance against extreme events such as droughts.

  Impact of leaf traits on temporal dynamics of transpired oxygen isotope signatures and its impact on atmospheric vapor
  2017 Front Plant Sci
  » Kurzfassung anzeigen« Kurzfassung verbergen
  Kurzfassung

  Oxygen isotope signatures of transpiration (δE) are powerful tracers of water movement from plant to global scale. However, a mechanistic understanding of how leaf morphological/ physiological traits effect δE is missing. A laser spectrometer was coupled to a leaf-level gas-exchange system to measure fluxes and isotopic signatures of plant transpiration under controlled conditions in seven distinct species (Fagus sylvatica, Pinus sylvestris, Acacia longifolia, Quercus suber, Coffea arabica, Plantago lanceolata, Oxalis triangularis). We analyzed the role of stomatal conductance (gs) and leaf water content (W) on the temporal dynamics of δE following changes in relative humidity (rH). Changes in rH were applied from 60 to 30 % and from 30 to 60 %, which is probably more than covering the maximum step changes occurring under natural conditions. Further, the impact of gs and W on isotopic non-steady state Isofluxes was analyzed. Following changes in rH, temporal development of δE was well described by a one-pool modelling approach for most species. Isofluxes of δE were dominantly driven by stomatal control on E, particularly for the initial period of 30 min following a step change. Hence, the deviation of isofluxes from isotopic steady state can be large, even though plants transpire near to isotopic steady state. Notably, not only transpiration rate and stomatal conductance, but also the leaf traits stomatal density (as a measure of gmax) and leaf water content are significantly related to the time constant (τ) and non-steady-state isofluxes. This might provide an easy-to-access means of a priori assumptions for the impact of isotopic non-steady-state transpiration in various ecosystems. We discuss the implications of our results from leaf to ecosystem scale.

  Kurzfassung

  Hyperspectral remote sensing is an effective tool to discriminate plant species, providing vast potential to trace plant invasions for ecological assessments. However, necessary baseline information for the use of remote sensing data is missing for many high-impact invaders. Furthermore, the identification of the suitable classification algorithms and spectral regions for successfully classifying species remains an open field of research. Here, we tested the separability of the invasive tree Acacia longifolia from adjacent exotic and native vegetation in a Natura 2000 protected Mediterranean dune ecosystem. We used continuous visible, near-infrared and short wave infrared (VNIR-SWIR) data as well as vegetation indices at the leaf and canopy level for classification, comparing five different classification algorithms. We were able to successfully distinguish A. longifolia from surrounding vegetation based on vegetation indices. At the leaf level, radial-basis function kernel Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest (RF) achieved both a high Sensitivity (SVM: 0.83, RF: 0.78) and a high Positive Predicted Value (PPV) (0.86, 0.83). At the canopy level, RF was the classifier with an optimal balance of Sensitivity (0.75) and PPV (0.75). The most relevant vegetation indices were linked to the biochemical parameters chlorophyll, water, nitrogen, and cellulose as well as vegetation cover, which is in line with biochemical and ecophysiological properties reported for A. longifolia. Our results highlight the potential to use remote sensing as a tool for an early detection of A. longifolia in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems.

  Abstract. The presence of vegetation alters hydrological cycles of ecosystems. Complex plant – soil interactions govern the fate of precipitation input and water transitions through ecosystem compartments. Disentangling these interactions is a major challenge in the field of ecohydrology and pivotal foundation for understanding the carbon cycle of semi – arid ecosystems. Stable water isotopes can be used in this context as tracer to quantify water movement through soil – vegetation – atmosphere interfaces. The aim of this study is to disentangle vegetation effects on soil water infiltration and distribution as well as dynamics of soil evaporation and grassland water – use in a Mediterranean cork – oak woodland during dry conditions. An irrigation experiment using δ18O labeled water was carried out in order to quantify distinct effects of tree and herbaceous vegetation on infiltration and distribution of event water in the soil profile. Dynamic responses of soil and herbaceous vegetation fluxes to precipitation regarding event water – use, water uptake depth plasticity and contribution to ecosystem evapotranspiration were quantified. Total water loss to the atmosphere from bare soil was as high as from vegetated soil, utilizing large amounts of unproductive water loss for biomass production, carbon sequestration and nitrogen fixation. During the experiment no adjustments of main root water uptake depth to changes of water availability could be observed, rendering light to medium precipitation events under dry conditions useless. This forces understory plants to compete with adjacent trees for soil water in deeper soil layers. Thus understory plants are faster subject to chronic drought, leading to premature senescence at the onset of drought. Despite this water competition, the presence of Cork oak trees fosters infiltration to large degrees. That reduces drought stress, caused by evapotranspiration, due to favourable micro climatic conditions under tree crown shading. This study highlights complex soil – plant – atmosphere and inter – species interactions in both space and time controlling the fate of rain pulse transitions through a typical Mediterranean savannah ecosystem, disentangled by the use of stable water isotopes.

  Acetylation of plant metabolites fundamentally changes their volatility, solubility and activity as semiochemicals. Here we present a new technique termed dynamic C-13-pulse chasing to track the fate of C1-3 carbon atoms of pyruvate into the biosynthesis and emission of methyl acetate (MA) and CO2. C-13-labelling of MA and CO2 branch emissions respond within minutes to changes in C-13-positionally labelled pyruvate solutions fed through the transpiration stream. Strong C-13-labelling of MA emissions occurred only under pyruvate-2-C-13 and pyruvate-2,3-C-13 feeding, but not pyruvate-1-C-13 feeding. In contrast, strong (CO2)-C-13 emissions were only observed under pyruvate-1-C-13 feeding. These results demonstrate that MA (and other volatile and non-volatile metabolites) derive from the C-2,C-3 atoms of pyruvate while the C-1 atom undergoes decarboxylation. The latter is a non-mitochondrial source of CO2 in the light generally not considered in studies of CO2 sources and sinks. Within a tropical rainforest mesocosm, we also observed atmospheric concentrations of MA up to 0.6 ppbv that tracked light and temperature conditions. Moreover, signals partially attributed to MA were observed in ambient air within and above a tropical rainforest in the Amazon. Our study highlights the potential importance of acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis as a source of acetate esters and CO2 to the atmosphere.

  Kurzfassung

  Spatial and temporal variations in delta C-13 of dark respired CO2 (delta C-13(res)) and total and water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) were analysed in four plant species. There was an increase in delta C-13(res) over the light period (measured 5 min after darkening) in leaves, whereas no distinct diurnal pattern was detected in roots. Furthermore, large differences in delta C-13(res) were found along the plant axis during day time. The amount of daily delta C-13(res) enrichment in leaves relative to the putative substrate (WSOM) varied largely between species (3.2-15.9%), probably due to different carbon allocation strategies. Positional pyruvate labelling was used to detect whether variations in delta C-13(res) were related to changes in the relative activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and Krebs cycle (KC). The results indicate that one reason for the increase in delta C-13(res) in leaves during daylight is an increasing carbon flux through the PDH relative to the KC. Labelling experiments revealed no clear diurnal variations in PDH and KC activity in roots. Further, we found new evidence that the fractionation process that leads to the diurnal delta C-13 increase in leaf dark respiration is related to the well known C-13 depletion of leaf material compared with heterotrophic tissues

  Kurzfassung

  The first broad species survey of diurnal variation in carbon (C) isotope signatures of leaf dark-respired CO2 (delta C-13(res)) is presented here and functional differences and diurnal dynamics are linked to fractionation in different respiratory pathways, based on C-13-labelling experiments. delta C-13(res) was analysed with a rapid in-tube incubation technique in 16 species. A large diurnal increase in delta C-13(res) (4-8 parts per thousand) occurred in evergreen, slow-growing and aromatic species and correlated significantly with cumulative photosynthesis, whereas no variation occurred in herbaceous, fast-growing plants or temperate trees. The diurnal increase in delta C-13(res) declined almost proportionally to reductions in cumulative light and was reduced in growing compared with mature leaves. Pyruvate positional labelling provided direct evidence that functional groups differ in C allocation between respiratory pathways owing to different metabolic demands for growth, maintenance and secondary metabolism. Diurnal increase in C flux through pyruvate dehydrogenase (for investment in, for example, isoprene or aromatic compounds) combined with consistently low Krebs cycle activity resulted in pronounced increase in delta C-13(res) in evergreen and aromatic species. By contrast, fast growing herbs with high respiratory demand exhibited no diurnal changes since C was fully respired. Hence, diurnal delta C-13(res) pattern may provide information for C allocation in plants. New Phytologist (2009) 181: 400-412doi: 10.1111/j.1469-8137.2008.02665.x
