Probing mechanism toward predictive understanding

Meta-analysis to reveal central tendency

Meta analysis 104 published papers, 940 lines Category variables: Response variables (18): 1.Biomass in shoot, root, and whole plant; 2.C pools in shoot, root, whole plant, litter, and soil 3.N pools in shoot, root, whole plant, litter, and soil; 4.Ratios of C and N in shoot, root, litter, and soil pools; 5.Root/shoot ratio. sources of data experimental facilities ecosystem types, field sites, exposure times, nitrogen treatments CO 2 concentrations of treatments

22-32% increases in averaged C contents (~30 g C m -2 yr -1 ) 21% increase in litter C 5.6% increase in soil C Ecosystem C increases by ~100 g m -2 yr -1 Large variation among studies Luo et al Ecology

As atm CO 2 is rising, productivity usually increases How does nitrogen regulates ecosystem responses to rising CO 2 ? NH 4 + NO 3 - CO 2

NCEAS Working group Progressive N limitation in plant and ecosystem responses to elevated CO 2

NPP N sequestered in biomass & litter C input to soil N sequestered in SOM labile soil N N uptake N availability C:N CO 2 P rogressive N itrogen L imitation Luo et al BioScineces

Two Approaches to Study C and N Coupling in Land Ecosystems 1.Global assessment 2.Meta-analysis of site-specific data from CO 2 experiments

Hungate et al.2003 Science Ecosystem models with N cycling processes incorporated predict carbon sinks more realistically that models without N cycling.

22-32% increases in averaged C contents (~30 g C m -2 yr -1 ) 4-10% increases in averaged N contents (~0.44 g N m -2 yr -1 ) Results of meta-analysis Luo et al. Ecology In press

21% increase in litter C 25% increase in litter N 5.6% increase in soil C 11.2% increase in soil N Ecosystem C increases by ~100 g m -2 yr -1 Ecosystem N increases by ~1 g m -2 yr -1

1.Complete downregulation of CO 2 stimulation of ecosystem C processes is unlikely to be pervasive across ecosystems. 2.Net N accumulation likely support, at least partially, long-term ecosystem C sequestration in response to rising atmospheric CO 2. Implications

Stoichiometrical Flexibility C/N increases by 11.6% in shoot 10.8% in root N.S. in litter 2.9% in soil Luo et al. Ecology In press Flexible C/N can support short-term CO 2 stimulation of plant growth and C sequestration

1.Coupling of C and N in ecosystems is poorly understood, hindering model development. 2.Ecosystem models that incorporate N processes can better predict C sequestration. 3.Ecosystems do have mechanisms to increase N stocks to support long-term land C sequestration in response to rising atmospheric CO 2. 4.Stochastic modeling may be the only viable approach to account for diverse C and N responses to elevated CO 2.
