英文摘要 | Ebullition has been shown to be an important pathway for methane (CH4) emissions from inland waters. However, the CH4 fluxes and their magnitudes in thermokarst lakes remain unclear due to limited research data, especially on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The magnitude and regulation of two CH4 pathways, ebullition and diffusion, were investigated in 32 thermokarst lakes on the TP during the summer of 2020. CH4 emissions from thermokarst lakes on the TP showed significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Diffusion fluxes in lakes averaged 2.6 mmol m(-2) d(-1) (ranging from 0.003 to 48.4 mmol m(-2) d(-1)), and ebullition fluxes in lakes averaged 6.6 mmol CH4 m(-2) d(-1) (ranging from 0.002 to 140.0 mmol m(-2) d(-1)). Together, these ebullition fluxes contributed 66.1 +/- 24.9% (ranging 5.4 to 100.0%) to the total (diffusion + ebullition) CH4 emissions, indicating the importance of ebullition as a major CH4 transport mechanism on the TP. In general, thermokarst lakes with higher CH4 diffusion fluxes and ebullition fluxes occurred in alpine meadows (2.5 +/- 5.3 mmol m(-2) d(-1); 8.2 +/- 20.6 mmol m(-2) d(-1)), followed by alpine steppes (0.6 +/- 5.3 mmol m(-2) d(-1); 0.7 +/- 10.8 mmol m(-2) d(-1)) and desert steppes (0.2 +/- 0.2 mmol m(-2) d(-1); 0.6 +/- 0.8 mmol m(-2) d(-1)). The organic matter contents in water and sediment were found to be important factors influencing the seasonal variations in CH4 diffusion fluxes. However, the ebullition CH4 fluxes did not show a clear seasonal variation pattern. Our findings highlight the importance of considering the large spatiotemporal variations in ebullition CH4 fluxes to improve the accuracy of large-scale estimations of CH4 fluxes in thermokarst lakes on the TP. Greater insight into these aspects will increase the understanding of CH4 dynamics in thermokarst lakes on the TP, which is essential for forecasting and climate impact assessments and to better constrain feedback to climate warming.
