Description
Summary:Quantifying the temperature sensitivity of methane (CH4) production is crucial for predicting how wetland ecosystems will respond to climate warming. Typically, the temperature sensitivity (often quantified as a Q10 value) is derived from laboratory incubation studies and then used in biogeochemical models. However, studies report wide variation in incubation-inferred Q10 values, with a large portion of this variation remaining unexplained. Here we applied observations in Stordalen Mire, a thawing permafrost peatland, and a well-tested process-rich model, ecosys, to interpret incubation observations and investigate controls on inferred CH4 production temperature sensitivity. We developed a Field-Storage-Incubation (FSI) modeling approach to mimic the full incubation sequence, including field sampling at a particular time in the growing season,refrigerated storage, and the laboratory incubation process, followed by model evaluation. We found that CH4 production rates during incubation are regulated by ...
