Abstract:In order to scientifically assess the impact of land use/land cover changes on blue carbon pool of coastal tidal marsh, it is valuable to determine the changes of ecosystem carbon stock following conversion of coastal marsh to aquaculture ponds. In the Minjiang River estuary zone, we collected the samples of the aboveground and belowground plants, and the soils (0~100cm) from the Phragmites australis, Cyperus malatensis and Spartina alterniflora marshes, and the top 100cm sediment of the aquaculture ponds reclaimed from above three different marshes. The organic carbon content of plants, and soil / sediment samples were measured. The blue carbon storage of P.australis marsh ecosystem, C.malaccensis marsh ecosystem and S.alterniflora marsh ecosystem was (152.85±8.88), (151.63±6.33), and (155.85±10.82)Mg C/hm2, respectively, and the sediment carbon storage of the aquaculture ponds was (112.69±4.26),(128.24±15.81), and (118.59±8.26)Mg C/hm2, respectively. The blue carbon storage of P.australis marsh ecosystem, C.malaccensis marsh ecosystem and S.alterniflora marsh ecosystem decreased by 26.3%, 15.4%, and 23.9%, respectively, resulting in (145.49±33.00), (120.66±26.49), and (136.76±27.61)Mg CO2-eq/hm2 carbon emissions. Our results showed that conversion of coastal marsh into aquaculture ponds greatly decreased ecosystem carbon storage. We suggested that ecological restoration of aquaculture pond into marsh ecosystem will play an important role in coastal wetland carbon sequestration.
