| Abstract |
To examine how the rates and pathways of anaerobic organic carbon mineralization (AOCM) of tidal freshwater wetlands change with low-level increases in salinity, we investigated the rates and controls of microbial iron and sulfate reduction, methane production, and total AOCM in tidal wetlands along a freshwater to oligohaline (0.1–3.3 ppt) gradient in the Min River Estuary in southeastern China. Porewater chloride was found to be strongly correlated with total organic carbon (TOC), carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratios, and porewater geochemistry (sulfate, pH, ammonium, and dissolved methane levels). Furthermore, a higher plant biomass, larger iron oxides pool, and lower sulfide levels were observed in the oligohaline wetlands. The contribution of microbial sulfate reduction to AOCM increased from 16% to 67%. In contrast, the contribution of microbial iron reduction and methane production declined from 52% to 22% and 12% to 2%, respectively, along the increasing salinity gradient. No consistent changes were found in the total AOCM rates. The rates of methane production were primarily controlled by the C:N ratios and concentrations of porewater ammonium and amorphous iron oxides, while the microbial sulfate and iron reduction rates were mainly controlled by belowground biomass, water content, and concentrations of porewater chloride and sulfate. Our findings provide insight into the potential consequences of modest saltwater intrusion; these may not alter the rates of AOCM in the Min River Estuary, but could change the dominant AOCM pathway from microbial iron reduction to sulfate reduction and accelerate sulfidic effects in this historically freshwater wetland ecosystem. |
