Spatiotemporal patterns and drivers of stem methane flux from two poplar forests with different soil textures

Abstract In forest ecosystems, the majority of methane (CH4) research focuses on soils, whereas tree stem CH4 flux and driving factors remain poorly understood. We measured the in situ stem CH4 flux using the static chamber–gas chromatography method at different heights in two poplar (Populus spp.)...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract In forest ecosystems, the majority of methane (CH4) research focuses on soils, whereas tree stem CH4 flux and driving factors remain poorly understood. We measured the in situ stem CH4 flux using the static chamber–gas chromatography method at different heights in two poplar (Populus spp.) forests with separate soil textures. We evaluated the relationship between stem CH4 fluxes and environmental factors with linear mixed models and estimated the tree CH4 emission rate at the stand level. Our results showed that poplar stems were a net source of atmospheric CH4. The mean stem CH4 emission rates were 97.51 ± 6.21 μg·m−2·h−1 in Sihong and 67.04 ± 5.64 μg·m−2·h−1 in Dongtai. The stem CH4 emission rate in Sihong with clay loam soils was significantly higher (P
