CO2 flux variation over canopy rice-rape succession system in jianghan plain

Based on eddy covariance system, the canopy flux of carbon dioxide over rice-rape succession system in Jianghan plain was measured during 2010 and 2011 to analyze the daily and seasonal variation of CO2 source and sink over cropland ecosystem. The results showed that daily variation of CO2 flux was obvious. The daily CO2 flux variation of NEE (Net Ecosystem CO2 Exchange) was obtained by using interpolated method. The average NEE in the stages of mid-season rice transplanting, tillering, jointing-heading, and milky were 1.63, -11.86, -20.61, -4.65g·m-2·d-1 respectively, and the average NEE in the stages of idle, rape seedling-bud, bolting, flowering, and pod bearing were 2.18, 0.43, -5.00, -11.70, -13.91g·m-2·d-1 respectively, Rice-rape succession ecosystem absorbed 19.26 tC·ha-1 CO2 from atmosphere during the whole year. © 2013 IEEE.
