Modeling Environmental Controls on Net Ecosystem CO 2 Exchange of a Tropical Bog Symon Mezbahuddin 1, Robert Grant 1 and Takashi Hirano 2 1 Department of Renewable Resources, University of Alberta, Canada 2 Research Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Japan

Introduction  Bogs are the peatland ecosystems that get water and nutrient inputs only through precipitation  Drier weather resultant of increased climatic events such as El-Niño could alter balance between tropical peatland ecosystem photosynthesis and respiration and contribute to increasing atmospheric CO 2  Eddy covariance (EC) net ecosystem productivity (NEP) estimates of natural tropical peatlands range from -296 to -594g C m -2 y -1 [Hirano et al. 2009]  Ecosystem processes X multiple environmental factors cause large variations and uncertainties in predictions of peatland ecosystem response to climate change

Objectives  To examine how wetter vs. drier weather conditions cause diurnal, seasonal and interannual variations in net ecosystem CO 2 exchange of a tropical bog [Sebangau River, Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia; MAT: 26.3  C and MAP: 2600 mm] by using hourly time step process based ecosystem model ecosys (Grant et al. 2001) tested against valid eddy covariance data. *Eddy covariance and micrometeorological data ( ) were collected from flux station over the site (2  3042  S; 114  211  E ) through AsiaFlux Network.

Objectives contd (Total precipitation = 2291 mm) 2005 (Total precipitation = 2620 mm)  (m 3 m -3 ) Figure: Hourly measured precipitation and soil water content at 0-20cm depth during 2003 and 2005 over Palangka Raya peat swamp forest, Indonesia Dry year Wet year

Conceptual Hypotheses NEP = GPP - RE Increased atmospheric dryness Increased vapour pressure deficit Higher potential transpiration Reduced precipitation Reduced soil water content Decreased soil, root and canopy water potentials Increased stomatal resistance and consequent stomatal closure Less actual transpiration at a cost of CO 2 fixation and hence reduced GPP Hypothesis - I

Conceptual Hypotheses contd. NEP = GPP - RE Reduced soil water content Reduced heat capacity of soil Increased soil temperature Water table drawdown Increased peat aeration Rapid aerobic peat decomposition Higher heterotrophic respiration Increased ecosystem respiration Faster biogeochemical reaction Hypothesis - II Oxic Anoxic WT

Hypotheses contd. Surface peat desiccation Inhibition of heterotrophic respiration at surface layers Partial or complete offset of any increment in heterotrophic respiration stimulated by deeper peat aeration Reduction or elimination of drier and warmer weather effects on NEP through its impact on RE However, Hypothesis - III WT Desiccation

Summary  There was not a complete shift in ecosystem energy balance due to water stress resultant of prolonged dry season.  Still a reduction in Bowen ratio (H/LE) due to drier weather condition resulted lower GPP contributing to lower NEP as evident in both EC-gap filled and simulated CO 2 fluxes.

 Ecosys couldn’t up to this point fully capture the large negative NEPs at the onset of the dry season. So, we remain inconclusive about our hypothesis of a possible increase in ecosystem respiration stimulated by water table drawdown in drier years. We are currently working on that.  Peatlands widely vary in their physicochemical characteristics. Rigorous testing of process based models based on our current fundamental understanding across contrasting peatlands would be interesting to improve our insights on peat carbon cycling.
