1 Comparison of static chambers to measure N 2 O and CH 4 fluxes from soils: results Mari Pihlatie, Jesper Riis Christiansen, Hermanni Aaltonen, Janne Korhonen, Jukka Pumpanen, Terhi Rasilo, Ana Paula Rosa, Giuseppe Benanti, Jatta Hirvensalo, Michael Giebels, Mohamed Helmy, Peter Schreiber, Radoslaw Juszczak, Roland Klefoth, Sara Vicca, Serça Dominique, Stephanie Jones, Raquel Lobo do Vale, Benjamin Wolf

2 Content What does the data look like? How do we calculate the fluxes from the reference chamber (Pumpeli)? Performance of the calibration system Chamber fluxes versus reference fluxes Future work

3 The calibration system (Pumpeli) Quartz sand Gas samples Gas samples N 2 O CH 4 FANS 17 mm 1 mm 113mm

4 What does the data look like? N2O concentration (ppmv) N2O concentration (ppmv) Calibration tank (Pumpeli) concentrations FL FL2 N2O concentration (ppmv) time (min) time (min) N2O concentration (ppmv) FL time (min) N2O concentration (ppmv) time (min) FL3 FL time (min)

5 Some problems during the campaign Autosampler problem: gas vials not pressurized (week 35) GC problem: Much of the N 2 O data useless Non-linearity of the ECD (can be possibly corrected?) Unstability of the GC

6 How the reference fluxes are calculated? Flux from the tank (Pumpeli) according to Pumpanen et al. (24): F V( C ( t ) ( C ( t )) V (( C ( t ) C ( t ))/2 ( C ( t ) C ( t ))/2) f 1 f 2 s f 1 amb 1 f 2 amb 2 ( t t ) A 2 1 Where C f (t i ) = fitted gas concentration inside the tank at time t i C amb (t i ) = ambient gas concentration at time t i V = volume of the tank (1 m 3 ) V s = volume of air-filled porosity in the sand A = surface area of the sand layer Time steps 5 min Gas samples N 2 O CH 4 Quartz sand FANS 113mm Gas samples 17 mm 1 mm

9 Comparable to the CO 2 campaign

10 Not so good with N 2 O 4 Reference flux ( g N2O m -2 h -1 ) Coarse dry CH 4 concentration in pumpeli Reference flux ( g N2O m -2 h -1 ) Reference flux ( g N2O m -2 h -1 ) Fine dry CH 4 concentration in pumpeli Fine wet CH 4 concentration in pumpeli

11 How the chamber fluxes are calculated? Linear regression Exponential fit (not yet) Other calculation methods (not yet)

12 Data examples Flux level 5 Coarse sand linear regression 2.56 N2O conc (ppmv) y = e -.9x R 2 = Chamber N 2 O concentration y =.4538x R 2 = µg N m -2 h Time (min).2 Pumpeli N 2 O concentration N2O conc (ppmv).1 18 µg N m -2 h time after enclosure (h)

13 Flux level 4 Coarse sand y = e -.12x R 2 =.9992 CH4 conc (ppmv) µg C m -2 h time (min) CH4 conc (ppmv) y = x R 2 =.992 Series1 Expon. (Series1) 238 µg C m -2 h time after enclosure (h)
