Planted pasture ecosystem in China releases more CO2 than absorbed annually.
The researchers studied how CO2 exchange varies in a planted pasture ecosystem in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. They found that the ecosystem takes in and releases CO2 daily, with most of it being used by the ecosystem itself. The ecosystem's CO2 exchange is influenced by factors like light, temperature, and soil conditions. The study shows that the ecosystem's CO2 exchange is highest in May and June, and the Q10 value is higher than in other ecosystems.
