Doupoux, Cédric. "Caractérisation et modélisation de la dynamique des stocks de matière organique profonde des sols amazoniens." Thesis, Toulon, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017TOUL0003/document.
Recent results have shown that equatorial podzols store large amounts of carbon in their deep Bh horizons. This leads to two main questions: (1) how and at what kinetics these soils were formed, (2) how climate change could induce atmospheric carbon production that could impact the global climate system.In this context, we have developed a model that allows to constrain carbon fluxes both by the observed C stocks and their 14C age. In a sufficiently simplified situation, we have established a formal relationship between the C stock evolution and its 14C age. Applied to Amazonian podzols, our model has brought new and unexpected results. It has been shown that the surface horizons of the most hydromorphic podzolized areas are the largest contributors of MOD transferred to the hydrographic network then to the sea. It is observed that the formation of Bh is only possible by considering two compartments, fast and slow. The estimate of their formation time (low estimate) allowed to differentiate between relatively young podzols (formation time 15 – 25 ky) developed on relatively recent Holocene sediments and old podzols (formation 180 – 290 ky) developed on older sediments. The carbon accumulation rate in the studied podzols ranges from 0.54 to 3.17 gC m-2 y-1, which corresponds to a carbon sequestration around 3 1011 gC an-1, which is significant at the geological scales.Column percolation experiments allowed us to show the reactivity of the Bh material and the presence, despite very high C/N ratios (63 on average), of a significant bacterial activity which modifies the nature of the MOD which percolates through it. This MOD has the capacity to transport Al and Fe in the form of complex organometallic complexes capable of migrating through very kaolinitic materials. These results contribute to the understanding of the transfers of pedologically formed MOD in the deep aquifers.Under the hypothesis of the appearance of a climate with contrasting seasons, we have been able to show that a 90-day period without rain after the disappearance of the perched water-table would not allow to reach the point of entry of air by drying of superficial horizons. Nevertheless, assuming an air entry, the extrapolation of the experimentally measured mineralization rates under oxic conditions results in a production of atmospheric C around 2.0 1014 g of CO2 per year, which may involve a positive feedback from the global climate system
Adisaputro, Didi. "Metrology and Monitoring of Gases Transfer (CO₂ and CH₄) Processes within the System of Geosphere and Biosphere." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université de Lorraine, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021LORR0313.
This study is a continuation of our previous geochemical monitoring finding at the injection wells of Rousse 1 ( Total CCS pilot, Lacq- Rousse, France) where it was identified that the soil CO₂ mole fraction (χc) evolution in subsoil was negatively correlated with the level of the water table and the CO₂ sources were attributed to the CO₂-rich aquifers. However, it is still unclear whether this relationship exists in the forest ecosystem, representing a significant proportion of the CO₂ atmospheric budget. For this reason, this thesis focuses on monitoring the gas exchange and its main driver of the transport process between soil (-1 m), subsoil (-6 m), and biosphere. We developed and implemented an in-situ geochemical monitoring system for continuous monitoring of CO₂ mole fraction in the subsoil coupled with a micrometeorological monitoring system using a pre-established flux tower in the forest Ecosystem (Montiers, Lorraine Region, France). This soil gas measurement infrastructure combining borehole measurement with micrometeorological measurement offers great possibilities for long-term in-situ and continuous gas monitoring to derive the vertical distribution of CO₂. Thus, this infrastructure allowed the observation of the temporal dynamics in soil-gas CO₂ research. During the study periods, the ecosystem acted as a net carbon sink with a mean annual NEE, GPP, and Reco of -453±122 gC m-2y-1, -1468 ±109 gC m-2y-1, and 1052 ±88 gC m-2y-1 consecutively. The Carbon exchange, climate, and environmental drivers during the drought episodes were compared with long-term reference data recorded from 2014 to 2017. In contrast with some previous research where GPP and Reco parallelly decreased during the drought episodes, our site showed Reco is more sensitive to drought than GPP, resulting in a significant increase in Net Ecosystem exchange. Reco decreased by 20%, and 26% were found in Summer and Autumn (2018-2019) relative to the ref erence years (2014-2017). This study shows strong empirical shreds of evidence that wind turbulence plays a significant role in driving the deep soil CO₂ concentration. We hypothesize that this could be due to pressure pumping effects where it decreases the CO₂ molar fraction in the soil during high turbulence and increasing the CO₂ storage in deep soil during low turbulence. This study also demonstrates that permeability significantly reduced during wet periods diminishing molecular diffusion and advection. This study also revealed a strong biotic influence on CO₂ production. The δ¹³CCO₂ values in our site subsoil can be attributed to respiration and decomposition of the C3 plants. These biological origins of soil CO₂ are highly likely increases air density resulting in gravitational percolation that leads the CO₂ stored in a deeper layer of soil. The relationship of subsoil gases also emphasizes that biogenic components dominate the origins and controlling process of subsoil CO₂ while the geochemical process plays an insignificant role
Aubertin, Marie-Liesse. "Biochar-compost mixtures : interactions and impact on carbon sequestration and soil fertility." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022SORUS173.
In the context of global challenge, innovative organic amendment strategies could be used to improve soil agronomic properties in addition to increasing carbon (C) sequestration in soil. The combination of highly stable biochar with compost, a nutrient-rich material containing labile C, may be a solution to improve C sequestration while enhancing soil fertility in the context of a circular economy. Aim of the thesis was to examine if there are biochar-compost interactions and if yes, what are the mechanisms determining their effect on C and nitrogen (N) dynamics and plant growth, at different time scales. To this end we used laboratory and field experiments and analyzed for biological and thermal stability. The thermal stability of biochar was affected by biocharcompost interactions, which may already occur during their blending. Artificial weathering influenced the biological stability of both materials. Under field conditions, these processes did not significantly influence the carbon dynamics of the mixture, while biochar friability and N dynamics were affected by biochar-compost interactions. We conclude that biochar and compost interactions may occur at different time scales and affect their material properties and performance as soil amendment

This work aims to evaluate the performance of silica-based materials and to rationalize their synthesis according to their desired adsorption properties (capacity and/or selectivity) by combining experimental approaches and the management of the molecular animal. These materials are ideally suited for CO2 adsorption capacity but also CO2/ CH4 selectivity. The different stages of this work were:- the synthesis and functionalization of the silica materials,- their textural and chemical characterization,- the determination of CO2 adsorption capacities, of their CO2/ CH4 selectivity.- the characterizations by various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques of tests to try to locate the adsorption of CO2 and to measure its mobility,- microscopic identification by the factor of physic-Factors influence the preferential adsorption of CO2 and its diffusivity in the role of hydrophilic / hydrophobic character in silica by functional.These objectives required the preparation of high specific surface materials through a simple sol-gel process. These materials have been modified in order to obtain a degree of functionalization with -CH3 groups sufficient to modify the hydrophilic nature of the material while maintaining a sufficient specific surface area. The influence of pore size was also probed.The adsorption capacities of the gases under pressure were carried out for pure gases but also on CO2/ CH4 mixtures in different proportions. The CH4/ CO2 selectivity, often estimated from the pure body isotherms and / or the IAST method, was in this case determined from the direct measurement of the isotherms of the gas mixtures. It has become apparent that water plays a crucial role in adsorption capacity and selectivity. This parameter is one of those studied through molecular dynamics simulations. The influence of the introduction of hydrophobic groups has also been explored.The results obtained by molecular dynamics are on the whole in good agreement with the experimental data. These two parallel experience / theory approaches have highlighted the selectivity of one of the materials for applications where the gaseous effluent is little loaded with CO2

Organo-mineral associations play a key role in the long-term sequestration of organic matter in forest soils. However, knowledge about the contribution of the different types of organo-mineral associations and the microbial processes involved in soil organic matter stabilisation is scant. To solve it, stable isotope techniques have been combined with the sequential density fractionation of organo-mineral associations. Isolated fractions were investigated in field and in lab, at different temporal (from 8 hours to 12 years) and spatial scales (macro-, submicron- and molecular scales).Four types of organo-mineral associations were distinguished: plant debris with little mineral attached, plant aggregates, microbial aggregates and mineral grains. Isotopically labeled beech leaf litters were tracked at a decadal time-scale to reveal transfers in between organo-mineral associations. Both litter-derived carbon and nitrogen entered the soil as plant fragments to progressively pass through plant and microbial aggregates. Aggregates appeared particularly meaningful for the stabilisation of litter-derived carbon and nitrogen at a decadal time-scale. Little of the litter-derived carbon and nitrogen was found quickly stabilized to mineral grains. Microbial activities appeared as a major controlling factor for the evolvement of organo-mineral associations, responsive for the transfers of litter-derived carbon and nitrogen. Indeed, plant debris colonized by microorganisms are progressively trapped into plant aggregates. As decomposition proceeds, plant aggregates disrupt into denser microbial aggregates. These aggregates are loaded with lesser organic matter, but enriched in stable microbial materials.Stabilisation by soil microorganisms has been studied at the macro-, submicronand molecular- scales, using mostly NanoSIMS and LC-IRMS. Microbial stabilization operated (i) directly through immobilization in microbial cells and, (ii) indirectly through large production of extracellular microbial products. By calibrating the NanoSIMS for accurate C/N ratios, extracellular microbial products have been shown to be stabilized onto organo-mineral associations without apparent control of the mineral-attached organic matter chemistry. The incorporation of 13C tracers into amino sugars, biomarkers of bacterial and fungal biomasses, revealed that living microorganisms grow where the resource is, but accumulate in microbial aggregates. Microbial biomasses moved from plant debris to microbial aggregates, likely along with the transfers of decaying litter residues as described above.This work points aggregates as meaningful organo-mineral associations for the sequestration of litter-derived carbon and nitrogen at the decadal time-scale. It also revealed the role of microorganisms in the transfers and stabilization of litterderived carbon and nitrogen within organo-mineral associations

The present work brings an other point of view concerning the CO2 separation from flue gases by using membrane technology. The study of the permeation properties of the commercial copolymers Pebax® as well as the analysis of the gas separation performances of composite membranes by means of mathematical modelling are presented. The aim was to modified the best Pebax® grade with a simple technique to improve the material properties for CO2/N2 separation. Composite membranes made of a thin layer of Pebax® supported by a porous substrate were next designed and analysed. Potential performances concerning CO2 postcombustion capture were calculated. The blend of Pebax® 1657 with polyethylene glycol gives PCO2 = 127. 9 Barrers and alphaCO2/N2 = 79. 9. Modellings based on a crossflow permeator showed that the membrane process could be competitive for CO2 postcombustion capture under certain operating conditions (CO2 concentration, pressure and temperature)

Carbon dioxide sequestration in plant and carbon storage in soil and biomass could be considered as a complementary solution against the increase in concentration of gases responsible for climate change. The aim of this work is to understand the mechanisms of organic matter stabilization in the deepest horizons of soils. The influence of landuse, minerals and amendment with organic matter (compost) on the carbon dynamic has been studied. Four soils representing different landuses (grassland, forest and arable soil) were characterized. The organic matter decreases in amount with depth and becomes more refractory. The relatively high amount of organic matter in deep horizons is probably related to the strong presence of clays and to the low biological activity. The different vegetations seem to influence strongly the quantity of soil organic carbon while affecting slightly its quality. Indeed, the structural study of organic matter shows weak differences whereas the amount of carbon and lipids are more important in arable soil. The study of organomineral associations revealed that the bacterial contribution is more important in fine fractions. Amendment with organic matter of an arable soil affects the biological activity and improves its structural stability. The distribution of the different forms of organic matter has been modified and the presence of molecules originating from the compost in lipids and humic substances show an incorporation of exogenous carbon

This study was carried out as part of the program MINERVE in order to observe and to improve our understanding of the spatial and temporal variabilities of CO2 fluxes across the air-sea interface in the Indian Ocean South of Australia. Measurements on board of the various parameters of the CO2 system (total alkalinity, total inorganic carbon, temperature and salinity) were carried out during six cruises over two years (2005/2006 and 2006/2007). In order to confirm the good quality of measurements on board, discrete samples were also collected along the way to make measurements of total alkalinity and total inorganic carbon on shore (LOCEAN, PARIS). The seasonally covered sea-ice zone presents an intense CO2 sink in summer 2006 and 2007 (-14. 9 and -23. 5 mmol. M-2. D-1, respectively) controlled by the development of the phytoplankton biomass. The continental Antarctic zone presents a strong seasonal variation of CO2 fluxes. In spring 2005 and 2006, the ocean was a source of CO2 towards the atmosphere (+14. 9 and +4. 4 mmol. M-2. D-1). On the other hand in summer 2006 and 2007, CO2 flux decreased. This ocean area became a CO2 sink (-12. 3 and -10. 1 mmol. M-2. D-1). Indeed, the seasonal variations spring-summer of CO2 flux are influenced by the thermodynamic, dynamic biologic processes. The various parameters associated with the CO2 system allowed us to parameterizes of total alkalinity, total inorganic carbon and partial pressure of CO2 as a function of temperature, salinity and chlorophyll-a concentrations. This study shows a very significant role of the Indian Ocean south of Australia in the absorption of atmospheric CO2, mainly during summer

Government regulations and responsible customers’ behavior are key drivers for businesses to adopt respectful management strategies towards the environment and reduce the overall carbon emissions of their supply chains.Under a strict carbon emissions legislation and the increased awareness of customers about carbon emissions issues, companies are now pushed to improve their environmental performance to achieve better profits. Thus, they need to make optimal decisions within their Supply Chain Management to reduce the carbon emissions that are generated from their various activities.In this context, we identify the issue of the low carbon supply chain management. In this thesis, our objective is first to study this problem and to identify its key drivers. We then aim to review the literature and to study how quantitative models have addressed this problem and its related constraints. We therefore develop new models of low carbon supply design problems under the carbon tax legislation, which is recognized to be one of the relevant applied carbon legislations. In our proposed models, we particularly emphasize on the features of this carbon regulation that have been ignored within the literature. We first study strategic decisions of the company taking into consideration the non-homogeneous carbon tax scheme between countries. We then, study the investment decision of the company under a progressive carbon tax strategy. Through analytical and numerical analyses, we study the impact of such carbon legislations schemes on strategic decisions of the company and its performances. We aim to provide companies with a decision support tool to help them make optimal strategic decisions under this carbon legislation. We also provide recommendations to governments, as to which carbon tax legislations are the most efficient. Finally, we initiate the development of stochastic models to study the strategic investment problem in such an environmental context. We first consider a random customer demand, and then a dynamic and uncertain carbon tax regulation. We proceed to the evaluation of our developed stochastic models through numerical examples and comparisons of their results to those of deterministic models that are widely studied within the literature

In a first step, we have tried to prepare dry or humidified mixtures composed with clays or real soils homogeneously spiked by organochlorine pollutants (Pyralène Tl, chlorophenols). Beyond the homogeneity aspect, we wanted to know if the preparation procedure allow to obtain pollutant adsorption on the absorbent. Finally we propose a protocol (with a rotary evaporator) satisfying the homogeneity critter. However, we observe some pollutant losses and we show that, for dry mixtures, the pollutant is not adsorbed but only coats soil particles. We demonstrate the water effect on adsorption. In a second step, with these synthetic mixtures, we compared the efficiency of four types of extraction techniques: thermal way (micro sublimation, thermal desorption, pyro-injection), by liquid organic solvents (Soxhlet, Soxtec), by carbon dioxide (liquid, gas or supercritical) and by water leaching (at various temperature and pression conditions). Good recoveries are found with techniques using temperature and/or pressure (micro-sublimation) an and an solvent (water, carbon dioxide or organic solvent). As well as adsorption, water influences desorption quality

CO₂geological storage is considered as a technique which reduces large quantities of CO₂rejeted in the atmosphere because of many human activities. The effectiveness of this technique is mainly related to the storage capacity as well as its safety. The safety of this operation is primarily based on the conservation of petro-physical properties of the caprock, which prevents CO₂migration towards the surface. However, when CO₂reaches the reservoir / caprock interface due to buoyancy effects, the interaction between interstitial fluid and injected fluid creates a serie of geochemical reactions affecting the properties of containment of the caprock, which is generally characterized by low transport properties. This work aims to evaluate the geochemical impact of supercritical CO₂/H₂O interaction on the porous structure and transport properties by using a combined experimental and modeling approach. Batch experiments at representatives storage geological conditions have conducted for 6. 87 months. The assessment changes of the porous structure and the transport properties of the samples before and after degradation have been conducted by gas adsorption techniques. Porous structure and transport properties analysis have been conducted by using classical thermodynamics models and probabilistic approaches. The results suggest an overall increase of the porous volume of the samples during all degradation experiment. Otherwise, the serults obtained by the probabilistic approach suggest that the increase of the samples porous volume was not correlated with a permeability increase. The geochemical modeling interpretation of the degradation experiments suggests that a combination of dissolution and precipitation reactions was the primarily cause of this phenomenon. Finally, the evolution of the porous volume of our samples has been correctly predicted by geochemical modeling suggesting that the increase of the porous volume was mainly consequence of calcite dissolution

Global warming is a major issue for both the scientific world and societies. The concentration of carbon dioxide has increased by 45% since the pre-industrial era (Harris, 2010) as a consequence of human activities, unbalancing the global carbon cycle. This results in global warming with dramatic impacts on the Earth, particularly for fragile populations.Amongst mitigation solutions, a better use of soil is proposed. Soils have the largest capacity of carbon exchanges with the atmosphere and contain a large stock of carbon. A tiny increase in this soil carbon stock and in carbon exchanges between atmosphere and soil would be more favorable to soil carbon sequestration and would compensate for carbon emissios from burning fossil fuel. However, soil carbon dynamics still suffers from insufficient knowledge. There remains therefore a huge uncertainty about the soil carbon response to climate and land-use changes.While several mechanistic models have been developed to better understand the dynamics of soil carbon, they provide an incomplete view of the physical processes affecting soil organic matter (OM). It will be long before a complete and updated soil dynamics model becomes available.In my thesis, I propose a Bayesian statistical model aiming at describing the vertical dynamics of soil carbon. This is done thanks to the modeling of both soil organic carbon and of radiocarbon data as they illustrate the residence time of organic matter and thus the soil carbon dynamics. The purpose of this statistical approach was to better represent the uncertainties on soil carbon dynamics and to quantify the effects of climatic and environmental factors on both surface and deep soil carbon.This meta-analysis was performed on a database of 344 profiles, collected from 87 soil science papers and the literature in archeology and paleoclimatology, under different climate conditions (temperature, precipitation, etc.) and environments (soil type and type of ecosystem).A hierarchical non-linear model with random effects was proposed to model the vertical dynamics of radiocarbon as a function of depth. Bayesian selection techniques, recently published, were applied to the latent layers of the model, which in turn are linked by a linear relationship to the climatic and environmental factors. The Bayesian Group Lasso with Spike and Slab Prior (BGL-SS), the Bayesian Sparse Group Selection (BSGS) and the Bayesian Effect Fusion model-based clustering (BEF) were tested to identify the significant categorical explanatory predictors (soil type, ecosystem type) and the Stochastic Search Variable Selection method to identify the influential numerical explanatory predictors. A comparison of these Bayesian techniques was made based on the Bayesian model selection criteria (the DIC (Deviance Information Criterion), the Posterior Predictive Check, etc.) to specify which model has the best predictive and adjustment power of the database profiles. In addition to selecting categorical predictors, the BSGS allows the formulation of an a posteriori inclusion probability for each level within the categorical predictors such as soil type and ecosystem type (9 soil types and 6 ecosystem types were considered in our study). Furthermore, the BEF made it possible to merge the types of soil as well as the types of ecosystem, which according to the BEF, are considered to have the same effects on the responses of interest here, such as the response of the topsoil radiocarbon.The application of these techniques allowed us to predict, on average and on a global level, the vertical dynamics of the radiocarbon in the case of a temperature increase of 1, 1.5 and 2 °C, and in the case of a change in vegetation cover. For example, we studied the impact of deforesting tropical forests and replacing them by cultivated land on soil carbon dynamics. The same statistical analysis was also done to better understand the vertical dynamics of soil carbon content

Carbon dioxide super critical extraction is applied to the remediation of soils contaminated by organic compounds. We have studied three aspects of the extraction process: 1) The calculation of solubility of organic compounds in super critical fluids. W e proposed a thermodynamic model which is based on the relations existing between the Helmholtz energy of pure components and the excess Helmholtz energy in a mixing process at constant packing fraction. The components may intervene in the equation of state of the mixture with varied equations of state. This model was applied to solid-fluid and liquid-fluid equilibria. A group contribution method was developed for hydrocarbon-carbon dioxide mixtures. 2) The adsorption equilibrium of biphenyl in soil in the presence of super critical carbon dioxide was studied experimentally and represented with the Bragg Williams lattice model. The adapted model allows adsorption calculation for a given set of temperature-pressure-fluid composition 3) For the kinetic study of the extraction, we used a soil artificially contaminated with biphenyl. In the soil, the pollutant is distributed between a precipitated phase and an adsorbed phase. Thus, the extraction model contains a dissolution kinetic term and a desorption kinetic term. The model parameters (the dissolution rate coefficient, the overall mass transfer coefficient between soil particles and the fluid and the fraction of precipitated biphenyl from the total quantity in soil) was estimated by fitting with experimental extraction data

In Africa, agroforestry technologies play a major socio-economic role, but their potential and that of the principal woody species to contribute to carbon stocks is still poorly understood. As well, the potential of these species to respond to a changing environment is poorly documented. We measured the carbon stock of five local tree species (Acacia raddiana, Balanites aegyptiaca, Euphorbia balsamifera, Faidherbia albida and Neocarya macrophylla) and soil-plant carbon storage associated with three agroforestry technologies (fallow, park land, and rangeland) in three contrasting soil textures (clay, sandy and sandy loam). We evaluated the root depth distribution profile (RDD) and the specific root length (SRL) of these species under these conditions. Intraspecific variation in leaf traits (specific leaf area (SLA); leaf dry matter content (LDMC); leaf carbon and nitrogen content (LCC LNC); SRL, root carbon and nitrogen content (RCC, RNC) ) of these species was also investigated in three soil textures and over three seasons: rainy season (SP), hot dry season (SSC), and cool dry season (SSF). The carbon stored in biomass was higher in sandy soils, while clay soil showed the highest soil carbon stocks. Carbon stored in the soil-plant system was highest in fallow, compared to park land and to rangeland. The RDD did not change with either soil texture or agroforestry technology, and a maximum of root biomass was consistently observed between 40 and 60 cm deep. The SRL was higher in park lands, rangelands and sandy soils, with low soil organic matter, and in the SSC, the most stressful season. Evergreen species generally showed greater variability of traits in response to soil texture and season. Intraspecific variability of SLA was higher in SSC, while the opposite was observed for the SRL. During the SP, a positive correlation was noted between SLA and SRL. Short periods of fallow enriched by evergreen and deciduous nitrogen fixing species would contribute to increase the carbon stocks of degraded lands in these study sites.

Biochars and hydrochars production can form amendments enriched in aromatic carbon, potentially recalcitrant against microbial degradation, while massively producing renewable energy. These amendments are aimed to increase soil organic matter (SOM) quantity, and soil fertility. However, due to the diversity of their feedstock and production processes, misunderstandings exist on the potential of these materials to store C in soil at short and long term. In addition, methods to rapidly evaluate the long-term stability of these materials remain to be developed, in order to allow users to determine the quality of these new amendments. This work was consisted for assessing the stability of biochar and hydrochars, biologically by soil incubations, and chemically by oxidation with acid dichromate. The biochar showed a high level of biological and chemical stability, allowing to storage a large amount of carbon throughout the century. In opposite, the hydrochars might not allow sequestering massively carbon beyond the decade, due to its lower biological and chemical stability. The hydrochars induced a positive priming effect (stimulation) while biochar induced a negative priming effect (protection). Physical weathering of both materials led to an increase of stability and a decrease of the priming effect, highlighting the importance of environmental factors in evaluation of strategies for sequestering carbon. Charcoal kiln soils were used as a model for long-term study of the input of biochar in soil after several centuries. Their analysis showed that the contribution of biochar sustainably improves the physicochemical properties of the soil, such as clay content, cation exchange capacity (CEC), amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and soluble carbon. However, after several centuries of biochar amendment, microbial communities showed no specific adaptation to the degradation of a new biochar input. In this soil model, the input of plant residues resulted in a negative priming effect. Thus, the contribution of biochar in generating specific conditions, allows the maintenance of microbial communities with the ability to switch of substrates, for a new source of substrates more easily degradable. Further works are needed to assess the stability of biochar in soil-plant system

In the first part of this work, we review how the changes in CO2 concentration across geological history contributed to shape current plant life, changes in stomatal function and the apparition of carbon-concentrating mechanisms. The second part of the thesis concentrates on the role of carbonic anhydrases for CO2 transport and assimilation in leaves. We characterize growth, assimilation rates and CO2 transport in single, double and triple T-DNA insertion lines of Arabidopsis thaliana that lack the main β-carbonic anhydrases of the leaf (β-CA1, β-CA2, β-CA4). We provide a quantitative comparison of the mesophyll conductance to the sites of carbonic anhydrase in Arabidopsis thaliana and we have related this to C3 type (Tareneya hassleriana) and C4 type (Gynandropsis gynandra) species from Cleomaceae family.The third part of the thesis describes stomatal behavior and its potential differences in C3 and C4 species from Cleomaceae family. Using laser capture microdissection, we compare transcriptomes of the guard cells and the mesophyll cells in both species. We report characteristics of the guard cell transcriptomes common to C3 T. hassleriana, C4 G. gynandra as well as A. thaliana, but also the extent to which the transcriptome of GCs from C4 leaves differs from the ancestral C3 GC. Finally, we integrate these data into the context of the C4 metabolic pathway of the whole C4 type leaf by comparative analysis of gene expression between guard cells, mesophyll cells and bundle-sheath cells. We also discuss whether variations in transcript profiles could underlie changes in stomatal behavior

For both agronomic and environmental purposes, it is important to quantify the response of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks to animal manure application. The objectives of this PhD thesis were : 1/ To quantify the response of SOC stocks to manure application from a large worldwide pool of individual studies, and to assess the impact of explanatory factors such as climate, soil properties, land use and manure characteristics; 2/ To determine the influence of tillage and cropping systems on the response of SOC stocks to the application of liquid dairy manure (LDM); 3/ To determine the impact of LDM on SOC stocks in the whole soil and specific physical fractions corresponding to different levels of protection. The meta-analysis (chapter 1) suggests that overall, at the global scale, animal manure application results in significantly larger SOC stocks compared to mineral fertilization or unamended control. The magnitude of SOC stock response to manure application depends mainly on the cumulative manure-C input. Climate also influenced the SOC stock response but its effect could not be decoupled from that of manure-C input. At a local scale, 15 and 21 years of LDM application resulted in significantly higher SOC stocks compared to an unamended control (chapter 3) or mineral fertilization (chapters 2 and 3). For both sites, the LDM effect was limited to the topsoil (down to 20- or 30-cm). In Normandin (QC), the magnitude of the SOC stock response to LDM was dependent on crop sequence, with a much greater effect of LDM application in SOC stocks in the perennial-based rotation than in the cereal monoculture (chapter 2). In Agassiz (BC), the magnitude of the SOC stock response was dependent on manure C input and this response seemed to be smaller with the combined application of LDM and mineral fertilization (chapter 3). In addition, LDM application favoured the incorporation of C in relatively protected fractions of organic matter.

Global warming is a major issue for both the scientific world and societies. The concentration of carbon dioxide has increased by 45% since the pre-industrial era (Harris, 2010) as a consequence of human activities, unbalancing the global carbon cycle. This results in global warming with dramatic impacts on the Earth, particularly for fragile populations.Amongst mitigation solutions, a better use of soil is proposed. Soils have the largest capacity of carbon exchanges with the atmosphere and contain a large stock of carbon. A tiny increase in this soil carbon stock and in carbon exchanges between atmosphere and soil would be more favorable to soil carbon sequestration and would compensate for carbon emissios from burning fossil fuel. However, soil carbon dynamics still suffers from insufficient knowledge. There remains therefore a huge uncertainty about the soil carbon response to climate and land-use changes.While several mechanistic models have been developed to better understand the dynamics of soil carbon, they provide an incomplete view of the physical processes affecting soil organic matter (OM). It will be long before a complete and updated soil dynamics model becomes available.In my thesis, I propose a Bayesian statistical model aiming at describing the vertical dynamics of soil carbon. This is done thanks to the modeling of both soil organic carbon and of radiocarbon data as they illustrate the residence time of organic matter and thus the soil carbon dynamics. The purpose of this statistical approach was to better represent the uncertainties on soil carbon dynamics and to quantify the effects of climatic and environmental factors on both surface and deep soil carbon.This meta-analysis was performed on a database of 344 profiles, collected from 87 soil science papers and the literature in archeology and paleoclimatology, under different climate conditions (temperature, precipitation, etc.) and environments (soil type and type of ecosystem).A hierarchical non-linear model with random effects was proposed to model the vertical dynamics of radiocarbon as a function of depth. Bayesian selection techniques, recently published, were applied to the latent layers of the model, which in turn are linked by a linear relationship to the climatic and environmental factors. The Bayesian Group Lasso with Spike and Slab Prior (BGL-SS), the Bayesian Sparse Group Selection (BSGS) and the Bayesian Effect Fusion model-based clustering (BEF) were tested to identify the significant categorical explanatory predictors (soil type, ecosystem type) and the Stochastic Search Variable Selection method to identify the influential numerical explanatory predictors. A comparison of these Bayesian techniques was made based on the Bayesian model selection criteria (the DIC (Deviance Information Criterion), the Posterior Predictive Check, etc.) to specify which model has the best predictive and adjustment power of the database profiles. In addition to selecting categorical predictors, the BSGS allows the formulation of an a posteriori inclusion probability for each level within the categorical predictors such as soil type and ecosystem type (9 soil types and 6 ecosystem types were considered in our study). Furthermore, the BEF made it possible to merge the types of soil as well as the types of ecosystem, which according to the BEF, are considered to have the same effects on the responses of interest here, such as the response of the topsoil radiocarbon.The application of these techniques allowed us to predict, on average and on a global level, the vertical dynamics of the radiocarbon in the case of a temperature increase of 1, 1.5 and 2 °C, and in the case of a change in vegetation cover. For example, we studied the impact of deforesting tropical forests and replacing them by cultivated land on soil carbon dynamics. The same statistical analysis was also done to better understand the vertical dynamics of soil carbon content

The microbial respiration of ancient carbon stored in permafrost represents a positive feedback to climate warming. However, the recent expansion of shrubs in circumpolar latitudes may partly compensate for this carbon release, due to greater biomass and litter inputs than that of tundra vegetation. Quantifying this carbon sink is challenging, as the concomitant mineralization of ancient carbon often renders the attribution of changes in soil carbon stocks uncertain. Here, we measure the contribution of shrubs to the terrestrial carbon reservoir in a Low-Arctic tundra site in Nunavik where soil ancient carbon stocks are among the lowest in the Arctic. We find that the emergence of Betula glandulosa Michx. shrubs increased the terrestrial carbon stocks by 3.9 ± 1.3 kg m-2. Further increases in carbon were mostly found along water tracks, where the more massive shrubs and the replacement of the lichen understory by mosses resulted in an addition of 6.6 ± 3.6 kg m-2 of carbon. From 1994 to 2010, we estimate the carbon sink provided by shrub expansion in our study area to be of 2.4 ± 0.8 Gg. The analysis of soil organic matter (SOM) using pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (pyGCMS) revealed that this recent shrub expansion has modified the chemical nature of the soil organic carbon (SOC) reservoir. Lastly, two potential biomarkers for shrub and lichen biomass, betulinic acid and usnic acid, were studied using pyGCMS in hopes of developing a method to compare the lability of the various soil carbon pools of the region. This natural case study in Umiujaq shows that shrub expansion represents a carbon sink. However, further studies throughout the Arctic are needed to evaluate the significance of this sink with respect to permafrost ancient carbon emissions, as the result of one local study cannot be extrapolated to the entire Arctic.

Radiocarbon (14C) and tritium (3H) are naturally released into the environment but also through nuclear activities. The releases are expected to persist for the next decades, it is important to predict their fate and their residence time in soils. The objective of this thesis is to propose a quantitative prediction and a simple modeling of the fate of 14C and 3H in soil organic matter (SOM). The originality of this work is twofold: first, we hypothesize that the incorporation and fate of NEH atoms in the soil are coupled to the carbon dynamics. Second, we chose to trace carbon and hydrogen by natural or artificial 13C and 2H tracing.Through natural in situ 13C tracing, we quantified the carbon recently incorporated by vegetation in few decades. Deep horizons contain a large part of this carbon (typically 20 to 30%). We adapted the RothC model to the deep soil C dynamics. This allowed us to predict that 10% of C will persist for several centuries in the deeper layers. The labelling experiments showed that the microbial activity is driving the incorporation of hydrogen from water into SOM, and allowed us to establish the CH stoichiometry of biotransformations. These experiments were a mean to propose a model of the coupled C and H dynamics of the SOM in the short and medium term (decades). The results of this thesis contribute as well to the improvement of the interpretation of natural abundances in 13C and 2H stable isotopes. A meta-analysis of the correlations between the 13C and 14C concentrations of global soils has demonstrated that the 13C enrichment of deep organic matter can be fully explained by the 13C/12C ratio of the vegetation from which they are derived

The increase in the atmospheric CO2 concentration due to the combustion of the fossil resources and deforestation is the major environmental problems today. To store carbon and thus to decrease the concentration of CO2 emitted by human activity in the atmosphere, it would be necessary to be able to operate the carbon sinks located in the continental biosphere. The largest carbon surface reservoir of the continental biosphere is the soil, which stores 1500 Mt carbon. The potential of French soil to store carbon is currently being evaluated for the plowed horizon, i. E the first 30 cm. However, recent studies showed that a significant proportion of soil carbon is stored in horizons B and C. The precise role of soluble organic carbon or DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) in the stabilization and / or destabilization of carbon deep horizons is indispensable to adapt the methods of land management and cropping systems to increase the stock of carbon in soils. Despite abundant literature, studies on DOC are mainly limited to soils of forest ecosystems and especially in laboratory scale. The results were never confirmed on the ground. The overall objective of this thesis is to better define the proportion of soluble organic matter of different horizons of arable soil and indicate their main structural features. This work takes into account the importance of the mode of cultural practice and the impact of prolonged drought particularly in deep horizons. Different analytical techniques (spectrofluorimetry, chromatography size exclusion, pyrolysis GC / MS, 13C NMR) were used on waters collected at the lysimeter plates and porous candles but also HPO, TPH and HPI extracts, for characterizing the OM of deep horizons, while being based on existing work on surface water. The work showed that the OM of the deep horizons was characterized by low aromaticity, a lower molecular weight and by the presence of compound lignins types and terpenoids

Technosols are soils strongly impacted by human activities and whose surface is continuously increasing since the beginning of the Anthropocene. They are characterized by their significant concentrations of artefacts (i.e. parent materials of anthropogenic origin) whose origin, nature and reactivity are extremely variable. Artefacts influence largely the properties and pedogenesis of Technosols, and thus also the carbon dynamics in these soils. Nevertheless, the recent character of the study of Technosols and their strong heterogeneity imply that the current level of knowledge on carbon storage is very limited. The first part of this work aims at creating the first database on carbon stocks in Technosols. It shows that Technosols are among the soils in the world with the highest carbon stocks, even if they are characterized by a very high variability, without equivalent for other soils. The database also highlights the influence of factors such as climate and land use. In a second part, an experiment under controlled conditions allowed to evaluate the mineralization potential of a range of organic artefacts alone or with natural organic matter. The results underline the recalcitrance of certain artefacts frequently encountered in Technosols (coke, coal, biochar). These artefacts also interact with the natural organic matter and can limit its mineralization. Finally, the monitoring and characterization of carbon stocks in Technosols have been carried out. While some stocks remain stable over time, others decrease continuously and one of the Technosols shows a two-phase kinetic: a short decrease, followed by a continuous increase of the stock. In connection with the previous results, the nature of the artefacts and the associated processes appear essential in these dynamics. It also shows that the soil biomass management is a factor controlling the evolution of the stock

Microbial weathering phenomenons have been studied in 5 tropical waterlogged soils representing two sequences. The results show the fundamental role of the bacterial iron-reducing processes, where the bacterial activities coupled the biodegradation of organic matter and the reduction-dissolution of oxidised forms of iron. The bacterial ferri-reducing activities are significant and strong in the soils of the slopes and near the swamp (at a minor degree). In waterlogged conditions, the autochthonous bacterial communities grow by using the soil organic matter as carbon and energy sources, and transform them into bacterial biomass and soluble organic compounds. The ferric iron is used as electron acceptor, going to its reduction under the soluble ferrous form, that can be exported in the drainage waters. This weathering process appears to be a major phenomenon of the tropical soil evolution, in which iron plays an important role as cement of the structure, and can induce a non reversible degradation of the soil

Boreal black spruce forests (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) store great amounts of carbon in the living biomass and in the soil. Fire regime characteristics (e.g. fire return interval, fire intensity, fire season and severity) play a central role in the storage and flow of carbon, by modifying the distribution and transfer of material among pools. There is little doubt in the scientific community that climate change will cause changes in the temporal and spatial variables that control the frequency and severity of fires. A demographic diameter-class structured model was developed to simulate boreal carbon storage under different fire regimes. This approach incorporates the effect of fire intensity and stand structure measures to simulate fire severity, measured as the proportion of overstory tree mortality. The model allows quantifying and mapping average regional estimates of current and future carbon stocks for the black spruce-feathermoss bioclimatic domain of northern Québec. Simulation results suggest that fire severity increases with fire the intensity. Stand structure is one of the factors that explains the observed variation in boreal fire severity. We simulated carbon stocks and fluxes under seven levels of fire return interval (FRI) and two fire seasons. We tested for an effect of these parameters on average carbon stocks. Carbon stocks were sensitive to IRF's between 60 and 300 years. Soil C stocks were lower for summer fires that occurred during shorter IRF. Finally, we investigated the short-term impacts of climate change under four climatic periods: 1980-2010, 2010-2040, 2040-2070 and 2070-2100. Historical and future FRI maps and historical and forecasted weather data estimated by CanESM2 RCP8.5 were used to drive the growth of forests, decomposition rates, fire regime and C dynamics. In our simulation experiments, the accumulation of carbon in the ecosystem was reduced by 11% by the end of 2100. The results of this study suggest that black spruce forest could be losing their capacity to sequester and store organic C over the next coming decades due to climate change effects on the fire regime and on forest growth.

Ln France, about 50 % of municipal solid wastes are incinerated (with or without energy recuperation). The main solid residue from incineration process is bottom ash. Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) bottom ash storage or valorisation poses an ecological and economic problem for industrials and local communities. This study is about characterisation of organic fraction present in MSWI bottom ash as well as its influence in short and long term behaviour of bottom ash. Differentia] Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is applied to speciation and evaluation of carbon in MSWI residues. This innovative recognition approach highlights and quantifies different types of carboned materials in bottom ash: Labile Organic Carbon (LOG) and Refractory Carbon (RC). Characterisation and dosage of organic compounds (paraffins, carboxylic acids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) are realised with various extraction (traditional extraction (Soxhlet) and Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE)) and identification (Gas Chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer detector (GC-MSD)) methods. This fine characterisation of organic matter has permitted to evaluate the short and long term available and mobilisable organic reservoir, and also the complexation possibility of some metals with carboxylic acids generously present in bottom ash. Moreover, any ecotoxicity tests performed on studied residues gets a new approach of bottom ash characterisation. A direct correlation with bottom ash physico-chemical parameters (usually studied) and its biotests responses is not possible. In opposite, a relation with carboxylic acids content and ecotoxic indice bottom ash is highlight

In this thesis, we are interested in the spatial estimation of the topsoil organic carbon(SOC) content over a small agricultural area located West of Paris. The variability of the SOC contenthas been identified as one of the main sources of prediction uncertainty of SOC stocks, whose increasepromotes soil fertility and mitigates greenhouse gas emissions. We use data issued from heterogeneoussources defined at different spatial resolutions (soil samples, soil map, multispectral satellite images, etc)with the aim of providing on the one hand an exhaustive spatial information, and on the other accurateestimates of the SOC content in the study region and an assessment of the related uncertainties. Severaloriginal models, some of which incorporate the change of support, are built and several approaches andprediction methods are considered. These include recent and powerful Bayesian methods enabling notonly the inference of sophisticated models integrating jointly data of different spatial resolutions butalso the exploitation of large data sets. In order to optimize the quality of prediction of the multi-sourcedata modellings, we also propose an efficient and fast approach : it allows to increase the influence of animportant but under-represented type of data, in the set of all initially integrated data

Soils elements stocks, and particularly those of carbon, are in constant evolution under natural factors effect (climate, vegetation, clays content, etc) and anthropic factors effect (soils uses, etc). Our objective is thus, (i) to better understand the relations between soil, farming system and stored carbon quantity, (ii) to study the consequences of soils uses changes and of soils managements changes on organic matter shapes in soil and (iii) to specify organic matter role on soil properties physics.Representative agri-pedological situations of the three great mineralogical models of tropical soils (allophonic soils (not crystallized clays), 1:1 clay soils and 2:1 clay soils) and presenting agricultural systems of various levels of intensification (intensive monocultures intended for export, slightly intensified farming systems, etc) were thus selected in the soils of Martinique. In addition, to limit the effects of their former uses, we generally chose to the minimum 3 years old farming situations.The analysis of the various lands carbon stocks reveals different behaviors: in allophonic soils, a correlation exists between carbon content (or organic stock) and texture (or fine elements content), as well for not cultivated as for cultivated situations. Variations ranges (reduction) of carbon stocks observed under various management soils systems effect, also depends on texture: in sandy soils, carbon sequestration potentiality is low or null, on the other hand, carbon storage potentialities are higher in clay soils.The estimation of total carbon stocks on the scale of Martinique, for one meter of depth and for and average situation between the use soils charts of 1969/70 and 1979/80, rises to 11,859 Mt of C calculated for 95,8% of the surface.Soil organic matter distribution varies with soil texture: in sandy soils, with low contents of organic matter, organics matters are mainly associated with the sandy fractions; in clay soils, richer in organic matters, 50 to 60% of the organic matters are associated with the argillaceous fraction. In the same way, the organic matter dynamics also depends on soil texture: in sandy soils, organic stocks variations are primarily due to carbon loss or accumulation of the sandy fraction; in clay soils, the argillaceous fraction takes part in a dominating way in organic stocks variations of these soils at the time of their setting in culture or meadow; the sand-clay soils have an intermediate behavior between these two poles.Structural stability varies with mineralogy. Andosols (or ALL) present a high degree of aggregation and stability, due to the presence of allophones and their particular association with the organics compounds. In crystallized clay soils, aggregation stability is higher in 1:1 clay soils (or LAC); the lowest values are generally observed in the lands on 2:1 clay soils (or HAC). Moreover, culture setting generally results in aggregation stability reduction.Cultures intensification (frequent ploughings, low organic matter restitutions to the soil, etc) accentuates aggregation stability loss caused by culture setting, particularly in lands on 2:1 clay soils (or HAC)

Biochars and hydrochars production can form amendments enriched in aromatic carbon, potentially recalcitrant against microbial degradation, while massively producing renewable energy. These amendments are aimed to increase soil organic matter (SOM) quantity, and soil fertility. However, due to the diversity of their feedstock and production processes, misunderstandings exist on the potential of these materials to store C in soil at short and long term. In addition, methods to rapidly evaluate the long-term stability of these materials remain to be developed, in order to allow users to determine the quality of these new amendments. This work was consisted for assessing the stability of biochar and hydrochars, biologically by soil incubations, and chemically by oxidation with acid dichromate. The biochar showed a high level of biological and chemical stability, allowing to storage a large amount of carbon throughout the century. In opposite, the hydrochars might not allow sequestering massively carbon beyond the decade, due to its lower biological and chemical stability. The hydrochars induced a positive priming effect (stimulation) while biochar induced a negative priming effect (protection). Physical weathering of both materials led to an increase of stability and a decrease of the priming effect, highlighting the importance of environmental factors in evaluation of strategies for sequestering carbon. Charcoal kiln soils were used as a model for long-term study of the input of biochar in soil after several centuries. Their analysis showed that the contribution of biochar sustainably improves the physicochemical properties of the soil, such as clay content, cation exchange capacity (CEC), amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and soluble carbon. However, after several centuries of biochar amendment, microbial communities showed no specific adaptation to the degradation of a new biochar input. In this soil model, the input of plant residues resulted in a negative priming effect. Thus, the contribution of biochar in generating specific conditions, allows the maintenance of microbial communities with the ability to switch of substrates, for a new source of substrates more easily degradable. Further works are needed to assess the stability of biochar in soil-plant system

To understand the fate of stable soil organic carbon (SOC) in a warmer world is a major challenge to be able to predict future atmospheric CO2 concentrations. To do so, it is of prime importance to understand what the stable SOC is exactly and how its mineralization rate is modulated by temperature. This thesis proposed to study (1) the temperature sensitivity of stable SOC mineralization; (2) the response of soil microbial communities to temperature and (3) to establish a link between SOC decomposability and its age. Soil samples from four long term bare fallow experiments were used for work. We incubated soils sampled at the beggining of each experiment and after several decades of bare fallow at different temperatures for 427 days and we regularly monitored soil respiration. At the end of the incubation, soil microbial communities were assessed using pyrosequencing techniques. Finally, we determined the age of soil organic carbon by radiocarbon dating in soil samples from the chrono-sequence located at Versailles, France. The results obtained brought evidence for a general relationship between the mineralization rate of soil organic carbon and its temperature sensitivity. We also found that microbial communities linked to stable organic carbon are more diverse but also more sensitive to a temperature increase. Some bacterial phyla were particularly impacted by the temperature increase and the organic resource rarefaction. Finally, this thesis highlighted the difficulties met with the radiocarbon dating technique

Agroforestry is a land use type where trees are associated with crops and/or animals within the same field. This agroecosystem could help mitigating climate change, and also contribute to its adaptation. The goal of this thesis was to evaluate the potential of soil organic carbon storage under agroforestry systems. This study was performped at the oldest experimental site in France, a trial supervised by INRA since 1995, but also at farmers' fields. Soil organic carbon stocks were compared between agroforestry and agricultural plots, down to 2 m soil depth. All organic inputs to the soil were quantified (tree roots, leaf litter, crop roots and residues). The stability of additionnal stored carbon was caracterised with soil organic matter fractionation, and soil incubations. A model of soil organic carbon dynamic was described in order to better undrestand this dynamic in agroforestry, especially in deep soil layers. This study revealed the interest and the potential of agroforestry systems in increasing soil organic carbon stocks, with accumulation rates of 0.09 to 0.46 t C ha -1 yr -1. It also reveals the role of tree rows in this storage, and the importance of carbon inputs from root mortality. However, it raises concerns about the stability of this storage

Agricultural soils provide many ecosystem services (ES) to farmers and Society such as green and blue water provision, nutrient provision to crops, water quality regulation, carbon sequestration etc. However, most cropping systems are still intensively managed, based on chemical inputs, with little to no consideration of the possible effects of such practices on the environment and the ability of soils to provide these ES. One issue of agroecological transition is to design more sustainable production systems, with limited use of chemical inputs, that provide and benefit from biodiversity and the ES support of agricultural production. We thus need to improve our knowledge on the spatio-temporal relationships that may exist between management practices, agricultural production, ES and environmental impacts. This manuscript synthesizes the results of a three years INRAE-ANDRA collaboration that aimed at providing key information on soil-crop functioning while facing this challenge. This work was structured into two parts. We first conducted a systematic literature review of the relationships between agricultural production, the ES and the impacts linked to soil functioning, within temperate annual production systems. In order to be able to compare the results of the 40 studies selected, we developed a new ontology of soil-based ES and impacts. This review evidenced mainly non-significant relationships between Biomass production and the ES and impacts investigated suggesting that there is no systematic trade-off between agricultural production and regulating ES. We also identified key relationships that have never been investigated in the studies selected as those between C sequestration and Physical soil quality regulation or Soil biodiversity. Also, an analysis of the effects of drivers of these ES revealed that the three pillars of conservation agriculture, as well as organic fertilization, seem promising practices to provide balanced bundles of ES. We then performed simulation analyses of actual and agroecological cropping systems of the French long-term Environmental Observatory of ANDRA. The objectives were to assess the effects of more N self-sufficient cropping systems, with a climate change mitigation purpose, on the temporal relationships between agricultural production, 5 ES and 3 impacts linked to soil functioning. These cropping systems were designed by implementing three agroecological management practices: a) long cover crops with legume (crimson clover), b) grain legumes (pea) and c) fodder legumes (alfalfa). To assess the performances of these systems, we used the STICS model, that simulates the functioning of the soil-crop system at a daily time-step. Simulations were run over two 20-years time periods: a first one for recent past climate (2000-2021) and a second one for future climate projection using RCP 8.5 (2036-2057). If most of the temporal relationships analysed were non-significant, results highlighted that the use of long cover crops in the rotation provided the highest values of N provision to crops and C sequestration and the lowest values of NO3 lixiviation

The anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere are held responsible for the current global warming experienced by the Earth. Given the amplified effect of warming in the northern regions, the main objective of this thesis is to assess the factors that could influence the organic matter (OM) degradation within a carbon-rich permafrost peatland. For this purpose, we studied the effect of biological and geochemical parameters, which are directly or indirectly influenced by climate change, on the degradation of OM. Field studies and experiments were carried out in discontinuous permafrost areas of Eastern Siberia and Sweden, along with laboratory experiments using substrates from these regions and from peatlands of NE Europe. Experiments were conducted as a function of temperature, bacterial biomass, OM origins, water bodies heterogeneity, vegetation type, freezing and thawing cycles, anoxic conditions and soil depths. The originality of this work consists in the combination of various (bio)geochemical analyses using both fieldwork and laboratory approaches linking the different systems controlling OM degradation in the natural environment (mainly microbiology and geochemistry). After an introduction dealing with possible positive feedback of OM degradation in northern peatlands on climate warming, the first chapter is dedicated to a general context giving an insight of the OM in the arctic region under climate change challenges and presenting all the techniques, analyses and methods employed for this thesis. The second chapter describes the three studied sites and the general fieldwork, which involved the study of OM behaviour during diel cycles. The third chapter tackles the origin of OM and the water bodies heterogeneity effect on the biodegradation of OM. The fourth chapter investigates the impact of freeze-thaw cycles of peatland water bodies on OM degradation during transitional periods, such as early spring and late autumn. Finally, the last chapter reports the result of aerobic and anaerobic experiments. The aerobic experiment tests the effect of temperature and heterotrophic bacteria on biodegradation, while the anaerobic experiment deals with the potential production of greenhouse gases from a soil profile collected in a peatland. The main results of this thesis highlight that i) during the night, small thermokarst lakes release up to three times more CO2 compared to day-time, and big lakes become a source of CO2 rather than a sink; ii) along a hydrological continuum, from supra-permafrost water to rivers through thermokarst lakes, the degradation rate of OM decreases and the biodegradability of waters increases; iii) recurrent freeze-thaw cycles during early spring and late autumn do not influence the degradation of carbon but favor the OM-metals complexes in neutral pH waters of large lakes and rivers; iv) temperatures during these transitional periods (4 °C) exhibit the same effect on biodegradation than the summer temperatures (25 °C); and v) when frozen peat thaws, it does not release a significantly different amount of CH4 and CO2 from biodegradation processes compared to the active layer. The studies carried out in this work bring an overview of the various direct and/or indirect effects of climate change on the OM transformation by biotic and abiotic factors in a discontinuous permafrost area. Furthermore, the study of carbon behaviour in wetlands soils and waters, as well as CO2 and CH4 emissions, may help to determine the influence of climate change on the interactions of biodegraded carbon from pedo- and hydrosphere with the atmosphere

Soils store three times more carbon than the atmosphere, under the form of a complex mixture of molecules called soil organic matter (SOM). Some of these molecules have been standing in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. Three main mechanisms are invoked to explain this long term carbon persistence in soils, (i) chemical recalcitrance, (ii) physical protection in aggregates and (iii) protection by adsorption on mineral surfaces. One of the major challenges in SOM science is to better understand the relative importance of each mechanism, that is the aim of this PhD project. Here, we use samples from by long term bare fallows (5 sites across Europe). These experimental plots have been kept free of vegetation by manual or chemical weeding for several decades and have been regularly sampled and stored. As the duration of the bare fallow increases, biodegradation occurs and samples get enriched in persistent carbon.First experiments consisted in testing the efficiency of chemical oxidations (two reagent were tested, sodium hypochlorite –NaOCl- and hydrogen peroxide –H2O2) on the longest bare fallow. We concluded that oxidation methods were not able to efficiently isolate a pool of persistent carbon at the centennial timescale. In terms of mechanisms of persistence, the obtained results show that chemical recalcitrance does not seem to be the major mechanism. Indeed, over the duration of the bare fallow, the chemical composition of SOM, as seen by synchrotron based NEXAFS spectroscopy, shows little changes. There is a consistent increase in carboxylics for all sites (12% increase on average) though it is significant for 2 out of the 4 selected sites. We also studied the particular persistence of soil pyrogenic carbon, which is thought to be at least five times more persistent than bulk SOM. Results show that pyrogenic carbon lacks long term persistence. Indeed the BPCA-estimated mean residence time of pyrogenic carbon (116 years) is on average 1.6 times longer than MRT for bulk SOM (73 years). Finally, the study of mineralogical control of the persistence of SOC showed that clay minerals containing potassium (illite) seemed to protect less carbon. As seen by NEXAFS-STXM, more mineral surfaces with very little SOM appear with the duration of bare fallow. C:N ratio decreased in all clay fractions, suggesting a preferential persistence of N-rich compounds. Presence of microaggregates in the coarser clay fraction led to the coexistence of two protection mechanisms: adsorption and physical protection

Two hypothesis were tested in loamy soils located in Haute-Normandie (France) : firstly (H1) macro-detritivore diversity and soil OM are influenced by agricultural and silvicultural managements and secondly (H2) macro-detritivore assemblages influence soil OM dynamics. Relationships were investigated at stand scale and in laboratory microcosms. In forest soils, no relationship between macro-detritivore diversity and C stocks appeared from these empirical results, it arose that macro-detritivore diversity and some holorganic fractions are linked. Results from experimental manipulations show that macro-detritivore effects on beech leaf biodegradation can be split into distinct effects groups. Furthermore, functional diversity, assessed through morphological dissimilarity, rather than species diversity better explains assemblage performances. In agricultural soils, no link clearly appears between these parameters. Regarding laboratory experiments results, eathworm effects on C-CO2 release and soil aggregate OM content and stability depend on species identity and initial soil OM. Furthermore, in low OM soil, increasing species diversity stabilizes C mineralisation and but led to an increase of both aggregate OM content and stability. In conclusion, field results show that macro-detritivore species diversity is driven by soil occupancy rather by system dynamics, thus refuting (H1) hypothesis. Furthermore, soil C stock do not vary during forest rotation while it increase with pasture age, refuting and validating the (H1) hypothesis, respectively. On the other hand, microcosm experiments show that macro-detritivores diversity influences soil OM dynamics, validating (H2) hypothesis

Guyanese soils as those of Amazonian bioma, have for agrosystems, strong edaphic constrains which are accentuated by land uses changes. Carbon stocks are the center of fertility and environmental management issues that involves emerging systems and low impact practices. In order to estimate the value of such practices, we studied the stocks evolution after cultivation using the data provided by the creation of two repositories, one of the production systems of small-scale agriculture and the other one of soil carbon stocks under natural vegetation. Our study on Guiana's agricultural production systems showed that carbon can be a recognized indicator that order space management patterns. This work also confirms the spontaneous development of low-impact practices by farmers. Measurements in the forest environment and mapping showed that soil organic carbon stocks under natural vegetation are high and could constitute an important carbon reservoir for France, estimated between 11 and 22 % of the national stock. Measurements of agricultural stocks and simulations (RothC) of the stock value among time, indicated that stocks vary rapidly and strongly after clearing and cultivation. Indeed, 50 % stocks decreases have been observed with intensive crop systems after 5 years’ cultivation. Low-impact practices reveal economical and environmental efficiency. In fact, they present an interest by being low GHG emitters and being able to increase the initial SOC under natural vegetation by 20 % after 5 years. However, beyond the farmers acceptability, there are many obstacles for agriculture development and these issues require global public policies in order to encourage these low-impact practices
