Abstract


The Midwest is one of the most important production areas for corn and soybean worldwide, but also comprises remnants of natural tallgrass prairie vegetation. Future predictions suggest that corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) production in the Midwest may be limited by precipitation and temperature due to climate change. Cross-biome long-term studies in situ are needed to understand carbon assimilation and impact of climate change on the entire region. In this study, we investigated the differences of gross primary production (GPP) and net ecosystem production (NEP) among typical (agro-) ecosystems of corn, soybean and tallgrass prairie from eddy flux stations from 2006 to 2015 under contrasting weather conditions. Corn had the highest annual GPP and NEP with 1305 and 327 g C m−2 yr−1, while soybean had significantly lower GPP and NEP with 630 and −34 g C m−2 yr−1, excluding additional carbon loss by yield. Corn and soybean NEP was linear related (p < 0.05) to leaf area index (LAI), height or phenological stage, confirming the strong link between plant growth and ecosystem carbon balance. Tallgrass prairie had average values of GPP and NEP of 916 and 61 g C m−2 yr−1, excluding loss of carbon by annual burning. Thus, prairie GPP and NEP were significantly lower than corn, but significantly higher than soybean. Probably the long fallow period on cropland, which enhanced heterotrophic respiration, and the low carbon assimilation of soybean reduced its overall carbon balance. In total, the corn-soybean agroecosystem acted as a carbon source due to carbon loss by yield removal. Values for GPP and NEP were reflected in inherent water use efficiency (IWUE*) and light use efficiency (LUE) among the agroecosystems. In addition, IWUE*, LUE or GPP of crops and tallgrass prairie were linearly related (p < 0.05) to precipitation, volumetric soil water content (VWC) and maximum air temperature. Air temperature increased IWUE* in both, cropland and prairie vegetation. However, rainfall and VWC affected crops and prairie vegetation differently: while excessive rainfall and VWC reduced GPP or IWUE* in cropland, prairie vegetation GPP and LUE were adversely affected by reduced VWC or precipitation. Future measures of climate change adaption should consider the contrasting effects of precipitation and VWC among the different agro-ecosystems in the Midwestern USA.

5. Conclusion


The Midwest region in the US is one of the most important crop production areas for corn and soybean, but also comprises remnants of original tallgrass prairie vegetation. Predictions assume a negative impact of climate change on the region, either by the abundance or the lack of precipitation or increasing temperatures. In this study, three agro-ecosystems (corn, soybean and tallgrass prairie) were investigated in central Iowa from 2006 to 2015. This period of time had contrasting weather conditions. GPP and NEP were highest in corn and lowest in soybean, related to the vegetation’s efficiency to use water (IWUE*) and radiation (LUE)for carbon assimilation. Tallgrass prairie vegetation assimilated and stored more carbon than a soybean agro-ecosystem. Soybeans assimilated and stored low amounts of carbon, and heterotrophic respiration losses were highest during the long fallow period. Also the corn agro-ecosystem showed higher heterotrophic respiration of carbon than prairie vegetation during the off season. However, corn assimilated and stored the highest amounts of carbon during the growing season, which ameliorated the annual carbon balance. Yet, the corn-soybean agroecosystem acted as a carbon source due to yield removal. Air temperature significantly increased GPP, IWUE* or LUE in corn and soybeans. In addition, GPP or IWUE* of cropland were negatively affected by excessive precipitation or high VWC, probably due to water-logged soil conditions. Both individual analyses suggest that carbon assimilation of corn and soybeans increases in dry-warm years and decreases in wet-cold years. GPP, IWUE* or LUE of tallgrass prairie increased with precipitation, high VWC and air temperature, suggesting that warm-wet years ameliorate carbon assimilation and dry-cold years have adverse effects on carbon uptake
