1 IPCC 2007 Les îles bleues dans un océan vert: Les systèmes aquatiques boréaux et leur rôle dans le bilan régional de C Paul del Giorgio et Y. T. Prairie Université du Québec à Montréal Why aren t surface waters included in regional C models and sink/source assessments? Why aren t surface waters included in regional C models and sink/source assessments? -Assumed to be either unimportant or accounted for in terrestrial flux and stock measurements 1
2 Why aren t surface waters included in regional C models and sink/source assessments? -Assumed to be accounted for in terrestrial flux and stock measurements -Few practical tools to incorporate them to landscape or climate models A large variety and high density of lakes and rivers NSERC / HQ Industrial Research Chair Carbon Biogeochemistry in Boreal Aquatic Systems CarBBAS Establish the baseline patterns of carbon accumulation and green house gas emissions in boreal lakes, streams and rivers Integrate and scale up these processes at the regional level Place these integrated aquatic C processes in the context of landscape C budget 10Km 2

4 CO 2 emissions from boreal lakes and rivers The Eastmain River region? All aquatic systems are supersaturated in CO 2 and emit C to the atmosphere 4000 Streams and rivers 1400 Lakes Surface water pco 2 (µatm) Surface water pco 2 (µatm) Rivers Short streams Long streams 400 Large lakes Small lakes 4
5 Upscaling lake C evasion Upscaling stream C evasion Lake size (km 2 ) = integrated lake C flux Streams (>700) (1 km 2 ) Upper Mean Integrated stream flux CO 2 [mg C m -2 d -1 ] CH 4 Lower 1115 Teodoru et al (GBC) 5
6 50000 km2 Net Biome Aquatic C Evasion (NBACE) 970 km 2 Teodoru et al. (in prep) Total aquatic area (km 2 ) Total aquatic C emissions (t C yr -1 ) 400 TAA = Alt r 2 = % aquatic surface Surface water pco 2 (µatm) To summarize: The integrated aquatic CO 2 fluxes result from the interaction between patterns in aquatic C biogeochemistry and in geography These integrated aquatic fluxes are thus a property of the landscape, the same as net C exchange or soil C accumulation Are these fluxes regionally significant? Average altitude above sea-level (m) Teodoru et al. (in prep) 500 Rivers Short streams Long streams 6
7 Eastmain-1 Reservoir Project: The net C footprint of a boreal reservoir Methods: terrestrial fluxes Terrestrial fluxes (M. Garneau, I. Stratham, N. Roulet) Areal C flux (mg C m -2 d -1 ) Teodoru et al GBC (in press) 7
8 Terrestrial fluxes (M. Garneau, I. Stratham, N. Roulet) Areal C flux (mg C m -2 d -1 ) What happens when we incorporate the aquatic C emissions? Results of combining terrestrial, wetland and aquatic fluxes: The net landscape C balance g C m -2 yr -1 8
9 The distribution of net landscape C flux between watersheds Net landscape C balance Average is 2.5 g C m -2 yr -1, i.e. carbon-neutral About 50% of catchments are nearly in carbonneutral balance (± 5 g C m -2 yr -1, Does this calculated integrated net balance correspond to long-term accumulation? From Paré et al (Ecosystems 14: ) Soils: 10 kg m -2 Peatlands: 112 kg m -2 Weighted average: 27 kg m -2 Over 7400 years, this corresponds to about 3.6 g C m -2 yr -1 Does this calculated integrated net balance correspond to long-term accumulation? From Paré et al (Ecosystems 14: ) Soils: 10 kg m -2 Peatlands: 112 kg m -2 Weighted average: 27 kg m -2 Over 7400 years, this corresponds to about 3.6 g C m -2 yr -1 Our mean net balance for this region is remarkably close at 2.5 g C m -2 yr -1 To summarize: The inclusion of aquatic fluxes helps bridge the gap between contemporary net ecosystem exchange and long-term terrestrial C accumulation Aquatic fluxes thus help us close the terrestrial C budget The integrated aquatic CO 2 emissions are one of the key factors that determine whether these boreal watersheds act as net sources or sinks of C What about other aquatic ecosystems? 9

13 The greenhouse gas potential of beaver dam emissions in central Québec Beaver dam emissions extrapolated over central Québec (150,000 km 2 ) are in the order of 60 x 10 6 tons of CH 4 Expressed as CO 2 equivalents, this amounts to approximately 0.14 Pg C per year This represents around 4% of the global terrestrial C sink So to conclude: Inland waters represent an important component of the regional C balance in boreal landscapes The C lost via CO2 and CH 4 fluxes is significant relative to terrestrial processes and is not considered in most regional budgets These aquatic systems are hot spots of biogeochemical activity and of exchange The regional importance of these systems is likely to increase with climate change Collaborators Yves Praire (UQÀM) Beatrix Beisner (UQÀM) Alison Derry (UQÀM) Jeff Cardille (UdeM) Roxanne Maranger (UdeM) Milla Rautio (UQÀC) Grad students : Audrey Campeau François Guillemette Marie-Eve Ferland Jean-François Lapierre Dominic Vachon Mingeng Li Lennie Boutet Matt Bogart Juan Pablo Niño Acknowledgments Postdocs Cristian Teodoru Martin Berggren Research professionals Annick St Pierre Alice Parkes Finance and logistics : NSERC Hydro-Québec GRIL 13
