Post-flooding disturbance recovery promotes carbon capture in riparian zones

Abstract CO 2 CO 2 g m - 2 d - 1), the riparian area and the fluvial area as a whole transformed from a carbon source in pre-flooding season (1.833 g m - 2 d - 1) to a carbon sink after recovery in post-flooding season (- g m - 2 d - 1). The fluvial area sequestered carbon (- g m - 2 d - 1) in post-flooding season instead of releasing carbon as in pre-flooding season (2.485 g m - 2 d - 1). Also, the carbon sequestration capacity of the riparian area was enhanced in post-flooding season (pre-flooding season: - g m - 2 d - 1, post-flooding season: - g m - 2 d - 1). We suggest that post-disturbance recovery of riparian vegetation played a vital role in this transformation, due to its stronger carbon uptake capacity after recovery from the flooding disturbances. The findings shed light on the quantitative modelling of the riparian carbon cycle under flooding disturbance and underlined the importance of the proper restoration of riparian systems to achieve global carbon offset.
