may be changing due to overgrazing and grassland types.
However, the comprehensive effects of grazing patterns,
environmental factors and grassland types on soil carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O)
exchanges have been poorly studied. This study investigates
the effects of long-term grazing on the soil-atmosphere
exchanges of CO2, CH4 and N2O in important processes within
different grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China. Using manual
static chamber and gas chromatography, we measured the
fluxes of CO2, CH4 and N2O from intact soil cores of paired
grazed/ungrazed sites collected from two typical steppes
(Stipa grandis and Leymus chinensis): one wetland in a flood
plain and one desert steppe in the region of the Xilin River
catchment, Inner Mongolia. Soil gas flux and concentration
measurements were conducted in four simulated conditions
(i.e., drought, dry-wet, intense rainfall and freeze-thaw),
which represent important processes in annual GHG exchanges.
Extreme drought significantly inhibited CO2 and N2O
emissions in all plots but did not change the CH4 uptake by
typical steppes. Dry-wet transition and intense rainfall
could remarkably promote soil CO2 emission pulses at
different types, significantly decrease CH4 uptake by
typical steppes, and arouse N2O emission pulses at all plots
with different times of occurrence. During the freeze-thaw
simulation, temperature-induced soil CO2 emission and CH4
uptake/emission presented a clear alternative variation,
while soil thaw only slightly increased
(<15 μg N m−2 h−1) in the steppes and sand
dunes and was significantly higher in the wetland
(11–96 μg N m−2 h−1). Long-term grazing
significantly inhibited soil respiration rates at all
grassland types, significantly decreased CH4 uptake by the
Leymus chinensis steppes, and did not show significant
influence on N2O emission due to large spatial variations
for all types. Compared to the ungrazed Leymus steppes,
Stipa steppes, sand dune and wetland, continuously grazed
sites were significantly reduced by $22\%,$ $38\%,$ $48\%$
and $47\%$ in total GHG emissions, respectively. Our results
indicate that the potential of the steppe soil CH4 sink
function can be offset by N2O emission, especially in
over-grazed plots. Furthermore, N2O emissions should be
considered in wetland rangelands with significantly higher
N2O emission potential (range:
0–343 μg N m−2 h−1) more than steppes (range:
0–132 μg N m−2 h−1) and sand dunes (range:
0–49 μg N m−2 h−1). Nevertheless,
comprehensive evaluation of the grazing effect on ecosystem
GHG emissions merits consider in both field observation and
incubation experiments because soil properties and
environmental factors could be changed by vegetation growth
in different grazing practices.},
