چکیده انگلیسی


- Annual cropping system was carbon neutral over a decade.
- Insertion of perennial phase created NEP sink.
- Fields were mostly carbon neutral once harvest included.

The long-term understanding of the carbon budget of cropping systems needs to consider varying meteorological conditions, site/soil conditions, crop selection, and management decisions. On the Canadian Prairies, a variety of crops are used in yearly rotation, often not repeating the same crop within a 3-year period. We measured net ecosystem production (NEP) in two cropping systems in southern Manitoba, Canada, for the 2006-2016 period. One system had continuous annual crops, whereas the other had a perennial phase for 4 years. NEP was calculated using the flux-gradient method, where the carbon dioxide gradient was measured with a tunable-diode laser analyser and the transfer coefficient was based on momentum similarity theory with inputs from sonic anemometer-thermometers. NEP varied from −100 (source) to +300 (sink) g C m−2y−1 among four adjacent 4-ha fields and 10 years, depending on annual crop (corn, faba, spring wheat, barley, rapeseed, soybean) and environmental conditions. There was no period of 3 years or greater when NEP in the continuous annual crop rotation was different from carbon neutral. Inserting a 4-year perennial phase of an alfalfa/grass mix created a statistically significant carbon sink for NEP (P = 0.04), but the perennial period itself was carbon neutral. Enhanced ecosystem respiration was observed following termination of the perennial crop. Harvest practices varied from no harvest (in the establishment year of the perennial crop), grain removal only, grain + straw removal, and straight cutting of green biomass for silage. Once harvest removals were included, 3 of the 4 fields were carbon neutral, but one annual field had net carbon losses for some periods. Ecosystem respiration averaged about twice as large as harvest removals. Net carbon (mean ±S.E.) over the 11-year period for the annual cropping system (−78 ± 51 g C m−2 y−1) was not different from the annual-perennial system (−48 ± 47 g C m−2 y−1).
