Title:

Dissolved CO2 and CH4 dynamics in Delmarva headwater wetlands, 2020-2022

Alternate Identifier:

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

This data product includes measurements of dissolved CO2 and CH4 in surface water and groundwater, along with hydrological and biogeochemical variables, across 20 headwater wetlands in the Delmarva Peninsula in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Greenhouse gas samples and water chemistry samples were collected every 1-3 months over a period of 2 years. We also monitored water level at each of the wetlands with a pressure transducer.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Synoptic sampling: Surface water and groundwater collection

We sampled surface and groundwater at 20 wetland sites 11 times from November 2020 to December 2022, every 1-3 months. Surface water samples were collected from the center of each wetland using a bucket attached to a long pole to gently bring water to the wetland’s edge for processing (see below) to minimize sediment disturbance or reaeration. When the wetland was dry, we sampled from a well located near the middle of the wetland. To sample groundwater, we pumped water from each well using a peristaltic pump (Geopump Peristaltic DC pump, Geotech, Denver, CO, USA). Wells were purged for two to five minutes or until dry and after purging, wells were left to rebound before sampling. We then used the pump at the lowest rate to slowly collect groundwater into the sampling bucket. During surface water and groundwater sampling, we measured dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, water temperature, and conductivity using a YSI ProDSS handheld meter (YSI, Yellowsprings, OH, USA) after water was removed for CO2 and CH4 samples and other water chemistry analyses.

Description:

Greenhouse gas and water chemistry sampling and analysis

We sampled dissolved CO2 and CH4 using the headspace equilibration method (Bansal and others 2023). A 20ml bubble-free sample of surface water or groundwater from the sampling bucket was pulled into a 60mL syringe, and 20mL of headspace as ambient air was added to each syringe before closing the syringe off from the atmosphere with a stopcock. The water samples were then equilibrated by shaking for 2-3 minutes. Headspace samples were then transferred to sealed 20ml glass vials filled with ambient air while simultaneously flushing which displaces the air in the vial with the gas sample (Bretz and others 2021). Ambient air samples were taken to account for air CO2 and CH4 concentrations when converting equilibrated headspace concentrations to wetland water concentrations. All samples, including air samples, were collected in triplicates. We analyzed headspace samples and ambient air samples for CO2 and CH4 on a gas chromatograph (Shimadzu Nexis GC-2030).

To assess parameters that may be associated with CO2 and CH4 dynamics, we took samples for dissolved organic carbon (DOC), water isotopes (d18O and d2H), nutrients, and ions. DOC samples were filtered through a 0.7μM pre-ashed glass fiber filter (GFF) into acid washed and ashed amber glass vials in the field, kept on ice until acidified with HCl to a pH of ~2, and refrigerated at 4℃ until analysis. DOC samples were analyzed within two weeks of collection by measuring non-purgeable organic carbon on a Shimadzu TOC-Vcph Carbon Analyzer. Water isotope samples were filtered with 0.45μm polyethersulfone (PES) membrane filters into clear, glass vials in the field and stored at room temperature until analysis on a Picarro L1102-i Isotopic Liquid Water and Water Vapor Analyzer. Triplicate nutrient samples (total dissolved nitrogen [TDN], total dissolved phosphorus [TDP], and ammonium [NH4+]) and ions (chloride [Cl-], sulfate [SO42-], and nitrate [NO3-]) were filtered through 0.45μm PES filters into 60 ml acid-washed HDPE bottles in the field, kept on ice in the field and then frozen at -20℃ until analysis. TDN, TDP, NO3-, and NH4+ were analyzed on a SEAL AutoAnalyzer 3 within two months of collection. Chloride (Cl-) and sulfate (SO42-) were analyzed on a Dionex ICS-3000. Sodium (Na+), dissolved iron (Fe), and dissolved manganese (Mn) were analyzed on a Thermo iCAP RQ inductively coupled plasma with mass spectrometer (ICP-MS).

Abstract:

Worldwide, rich forested wetlands have been converted to agriculture through ditching and draining. These wetlands are important for regional water and carbon cycles. They reduce downstream flooding through water storage, providing dissolved organic carbon to downstream ecosystems, and contributing to carbon storage. While efforts are being made to restore drained wetlands, recovery of ecosystem services has lagged. Research is urgently needed to understand how hydrology influences delivery of wetland ecosystem services to guide future restoration and management. This project will investigate water movement and carbon cycling in wetland-rich Delmarva Bay. Research will focus on freshwater wetlands that are often isolated from adjacent rivers. These small wetlands are vulnerable to land-use change, and their impact on regional water and carbon cycling is poorly understood. This research will inform management, contribute to meeting national research priorities, and build capacity in the scientific workforce. Students will be engaged in all aspects of the research, as well as in interactive meetings with managers and training workshops on actionable science. This project will also provide data on carbon budgets and in advancing next-generation models to estimate carbon dynamics.

This research will test the hypothesis that water storage capacity (WSC), or the amount of water a single wetland or group of wetlands can store, is a principal driver of wetland- and catchment-scale hydrology, carbon emissions, and downstream carbon export. Using coupled empirical and modeling components, this project will quantify: (1) WSC at wetland and catchment scales and resulting variation in water levels, residence time, and water export; and (2) consequent influences to carbon dynamics at both wetland (DOC concentration and composition, CH4 and CO2 emissions) and catchment scales (DOC export and composition, CH4 and CO2 export). Linked hydrologic and biogeochemical data will be collected in 18 wetlands across six study catchments that vary in WSC, with more intensive data collection (e.g., in situ, high temporal resolution) within one wetland per catchment. At the catchment scale, each catchment outlet will be monitored for time series of water discharge and carbon composition and export. Derived empirical relationships and calibrated process-based hydrologic models will advance predictive understanding of wetland carbon emissions and the shunting of DOC, CO2, and CH4 from upstream wetlands to catchment outlets. Expected outcomes linking WSC and associated hydrologic controls on carbon biogeochemistry are required to inform restoration practice and global carbon models.
