Abstract:
      To measure the effects of gradients and factors on soil respiration intensity on the surface of glaciers in the four seasons, this study used real-time observation data from the Qiyi Glacier Observation Station from September 2020 to June 2021 to analyze photosynthetically active radiation, air temperature, soil respiration carbon dioxide concentration, and other factors at 5, 10, 15, 20 m, and 25 m above the observation station in March, June, September, and December. The soil respiration intensity was characterized by the soil respiration carbon dioxide concentration and soil respiration water vapor concentration, and the variation law and influencing factors of soil respiration intensity on the surface of glaciers were obtained. The results showed that the soil respiration carbon dioxide concentration in winter was stable at 441.3 μmol·mol-1, which was at a high level in the four seasons, and the soil respiration water vapor concentration was stable at 0.479 mmol·mol-1, which was at a low level in the four seasons. Soil respiration intensity positively correlated with the atmospheric temperature of each gradient, positively correlated with the photosynthetically active radiation value of each gradient at noon, and negatively correlated in the morning and evening. A positive correlation between soil respiration intensity and atmospheric temperature of each gradient in spring and autumn, and the relationship between soil respiration intensity and photosynthetically active radiation of each gradient also varied with time. In addition, due to the temperature inversion phenomenon, snow melting and solar radiation in spring and autumn, the average air temperature was the highest at 10 m and the lowest at 25 m at the observation point. The correlation analysis between the changes of each gradient factor in four seasons and soil respiration intensity showed that there was a certain scientific relationship between Qilian Mountain glaciers and surface soil respiration.
