Abstract/Description: | A yearlong field study was undertaken to investigate the carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) exchange in relation to ecosystem carbon (C) balance in tropical low land rice by employing open path eddy covariance (OPEC) system. The study was conducted on annual basis, included both wet and dry seasons crop. This is the first report from India on net ecosystem CH4 exchange (NEME) from low land flooded rice ecology through eddy covariance techniques. On annual basis the cumulative net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) was 457 g C m2 and NEME was + 262.62 kg CH4 ha1, respectively. On the other hand, the annual gross primary production (GPP) was + 1340 g C m2 and ecosystem respiration (RE) was + 883 g C m2. On seasonal basis the rate of NEE was in the range of 3.29 and 2.74 g C m2 day1, respectively and NEME was + 2.80 and + 4.34 mg m2 h1 in wet and dry cropping seasons, respectively. As a whole, the integrated NEE in dry and wet seasons was 355 and 341 g C m2, whereas, the integrated NEME in the two seasons was + 84 and + 129 kg ha1, respectively. Considering the net ecosystem production (NEP or NEE: + 695 g C m2), rhizodeposition, algal biomass, root, stubble and compost added as ecosystem C input and NEME ( + 213 kg ha1), C removal through harvest and dissolved organic C as ecosystem C output, the tropical rice acts as net C sink both seasonally and annually. Although CH4 is a source of C loss from low land flooded rice ecosystem, considering all the components of C balance on system basis, this ecology has a good potential to store considerable amount of C. |
