The results showed that there were two different CO2 flux diurnal patterns at the grassland ecosystem. One had a dual peak in diurnal course of CO2 fluxes with a depression of CO2 flux after noon, and the other had a single peak. In 2003, the maximum diurnal uptake and emitting value of CO2 were -7.4 and 5.4 g·m-2·d-1 respectively and both occurred in July. While in 2004, the maximum diurnal uptake and release of CO2 were -12.8 and 5.8 g·m-2·d-1 and occurred both in August. The grassland fixed 294.66 and 467.46 g CO2·m-2 in 2003 and 2004, and released 333.14 and 437.17 g CO2·m-2 in 2003 and 2004, respectively from May to September. Water availability and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) are two important factors of controlling CO2 flux. Consecutive precipitation can cause reduction in the ability of ecosystem carbon exchange. Under favorable soil water conditions, daytime CO2 flux is dependent on PAR. CO2 flux, under soil water stress conditions, is obviously less than those under favorable soil water conditions, and there is a light saturation phenomena at PAR=1200μmol·m-2·s-1. Soil respiration was temperature dependent when there was no soil water stress; otherwise, this response became accumulatively decoupled from soil temperature.展开更多
