Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of soil respiration monitoring, in particular to a soil respiration monitoring device and method based on tunable semiconductor laser absorption. BACKGROUND
[0002] Soil respiration refers to the process of organic carbon in soil being decomposed into carbon dioxide by microorganisms and roots and released into the atmosphere, and is an important part of the carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. Accurate monitoring of soil respiration rate is of great significance for assessing ecosystem carbon budget, studying climate change and formulating carbon management policies.
[0003] Currently, soil respiration monitoring mainly uses a closed gas chamber measurement method. This method measures the change in carbon dioxide concentration in the gas chamber per unit time by covering a closed box on the soil surface, combines linear or exponential fitting models to calculate the carbon dioxide flux on the soil surface, and thus represents the soil respiration rate. However, this method has the following significant defects:
[0004] Concentration gradient decay problem: As the measurement time increases, the carbon dioxide concentration in the closed gas chamber gradually increases, resulting in a decrease in the carbon dioxide concentration gradient between the soil surface and the gas chamber, thus underestimating the actual soil respiration rate. This "concentration inhibition effect" limits the continuous monitoring ability of the closed gas chamber, making it difficult to achieve long-term and high-precision soil respiration observation.
[0005] Pressure disturbance error: During the placement of the gas chamber, improper operation or environmental changes may cause pressure differences inside and outside the gas chamber, thereby interfering with the gas exchange process between the soil and the atmosphere, and introducing significant errors. In addition, insufficient sealing of the gas chamber or uneven ground can exacerbate this problem.
[0006] Spatial heterogeneity limitation: Traditional methods usually use single-point measurement, which is difficult to reflect the spatial variability of soil respiration, and frequent replacement of measurement points will increase the labor cost and disturbance to the soil environment.
[0007] To solve the above problems, laser spectroscopy technology (such as tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technology, TDLAS) has been gradually applied to the field of trace gas monitoring due to its high sensitivity, high selectivity and non-contact measurement advantages. TDLAS technology analyzes the absorption characteristics of gas molecules to specific wavelength laser to achieve rapid and accurate measurement of carbon dioxide concentration. However, existing soil respiration monitoring devices based on TDLAS still have the following shortcomings:
[0008] Low system integration: Most devices are single-machine designs, lack multi-point synchronous monitoring capability, and are difficult to meet the needs of large-scale ecological research.
[0009] Lack of automation: The operation of air chamber lifting, point switching and other operations depends on manual intervention, which is low in efficiency and easy to introduce human error.
[0010] Poor environmental adaptability: Complex terrain (such as weeds, stones) will interfere with the adhesion of the air chamber to the soil, affecting the measurement accuracy.
[0011] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated, automated and complex environment-adaptive soil respiration monitoring device to overcome the limitations of traditional methods and achieve high-precision, long-time and multi-point soil respiration monitoring. SUMMARY

By providing a communication unit, the detection end of the spectrum detection unit is controlled, so that the detection end of the spectrum detection unit is selectively connected to one of the respiration chambers, or sequentially connected to other respiration chambers, forming single respiration chamber internal detection work or multiple respiration chamber internal detection work. By calculating the average value of the detection data in multiple respiration chambers, the accuracy of soil respiration monitoring can be further improved. The problem of gradually decreasing carbon dioxide concentration gradient between soil surface and air chamber with increasing carbon dioxide concentration in the air chamber, which leads to underestimated measurement value, resulting in that the sealed air chamber cannot monitor soil respiration for a long time, and the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the air chamber when the air chamber is placed in the soil, thereby causing a large error in the calculation of soil carbon flux.

[0082] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figures 4 to 7The transmission member includes a transmission block 63 slidably connected to the bottom of the top plate 2 through the guide rail frame 62, guide rods 64 connected to both sides of the transmission block 63, and the bottom ends of the two guide rods 64 fixedly connected with the two connecting mouths 61; the bottom of the top plate 2 is fixedly connected with a first motor 65, the output shaft of the first motor 65 is fixedly connected with a first lead screw 66, and the first lead screw 66 is threadedly connected with the inside of the transmission block 63;

[0088] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figures 10 to 12 The method for monitoring soil respiration based on tunable semiconductor laser absorption includes the following steps:
[0089] S1, the integrated monitoring device is moved to the area to be detected, according to the actual monitoring requirements, one or more of the breathing chambers 4 are driven by the lifting unit 7 to make contact with the ground, and the detection end of the spectrum detection unit 5 is communicated with one or other of the breathing chambers 4 through the communication assembly 6, and the spectrum detection unit 5 is used for monitoring work;
[0090] The spectrum detection unit 5 is composed of a light source signal generating device, a CO2 concentration collecting device and a data collecting and processing module.
[0091] S2, the initial online monitoring of the soil carbon flux, at this time, the CO2 concentration in the soil breathing chamber 4 is the same as that in the environment, the initial concentration is measured and recorded as C 标定 ;
[0092] S3, the light source signal generating device in the spectrum detection unit 5 is started, and then based on the laser spectrum technology, the peak value h 标定 of the second harmonic signal of the CO2 gas in the soil breathing chamber at the initial time is measured by the CO2 concentration collecting device.
[0093] S4, continuous monitoring, the peak value h 实测 of the measured second harmonic signal of the CO2 gas in the soil breathing chamber is obtained.
[0094] S5, the obtained data is substituted into the following calculation formula to obtain the measured CO2 concentration C 实测 , and the specific calculation formula is:
[0095]
[0096] Among them, F C is the soil CO2 flux; v is the total volume of the breathing chamber; P0 is the initial pressure measured by the instrument, R is the gas constant; S is the surface area of the collar; T0 is the initial temperature measured, is the initial change rate of CO2 molar fraction.
[0097] Preferably, the light source signal generating device is composed of a DFB laser, a laser wavelength driving signal module, a power amplification module and a laser coupling module.
[0098] The DFB laser is used to generate laser with certain frequency, and the laser wavelength driving signal module is used to generate modulation current signal with uniform amplitude.
[0099] The power amplification module adopts a Ytterbium amplifier to amplify the laser power.
[0100] The laser coupling module is used to couple the output laser of the laser into the next optical fiber through the optical fiber and the flange.
[0101] The CO2 concentration collecting device is composed of a light path multiple reflection structure, a photoelectric signal conversion, an electric signal amplification and an electric signal transmission module; the light path multiple reflection structure is used for collecting CO2 concentration absorption spectrum signals.
[0102] The data collecting and processing module is composed of a signal receiving module, a CO2 concentration inversion module, a CO2 flux inversion module and a result output module.
[0103] Embodiment: A sampling period T is specifically set, and the CO2 concentration, temperature, humidity and pressure data change amount in the sampling period T are measured and recorded; the obtained CO2 concentration change amount is multiplied by the time change amount T to calculate the CO2 emission flux in the sampling period T; the obtained CO2 concentration change data is subjected to correlation analysis with the temperature data, pressure data and time data to obtain the change relationship of the CO2 flux with the temperature, pressure and time.
[0104] The peak value of the measured second harmonic signal is in a proportional relationship with the gas concentration, so the concentration of the measured gas can be directly inverted according to the processed second harmonic signal amplitude. The second harmonic signal of the standard gas is measured, the least square linear fitting is performed on the measured second harmonic signal of the measured gas to obtain a fitting coefficient, and the concentration of the measured gas is calculated according to the fitting curve.

[0106] Measurement principle
[0107] The CO2 flux calculation method specifically includes the following contents:
[0108] The gas detection based on the TDLAS technology is mainly based on the Lambert-Beer law. The wavelength modulation technology is adopted, and a suitable absorption spectrum is selected to measure the CO concentration.
[0109] The expression of the Lambert-Beer law is shown in the formula (3).
[0110] I(t)=I0exp[-a(v)CL] (3)
[0111] In the formula: I(t) is the light intensity after gas absorption; I0 is the light intensity without gas absorption; a(v) represents the absorption cross section of the gas at frequency v; C is the concentration of the gas to be measured; and L is the optical path of the absorption cell.
[0112] The absorbance A at frequency v is shown in formula (4).
[0113] A = ln [I0 / I(t)] (4)
[0114] The high-frequency modulation is performed by injecting a high-frequency sinusoidal wave into the laser, and the instantaneous frequency v(t) of the diode laser is shown in formula (5).
[0115] v(t) = v0 + σ v cos(2πft) (5)
[0116] In the formula: v0 is the center frequency of the diode laser; σ v is the modulation amplitude of the frequency; f is the frequency of the sinusoidal wave; and t is the time.
[0117] Substituting formula (5) into formula (4) can calculate the Fourier expansion series as:
[0118]
[0119] The n-th harmonic signal component A n can be obtained by a phase-locked amplifier.
[0120] exp{-σ[v0+σ v cos(2πft)]CL}·cos(2nπft)d(2πft) (7)
[0121] In an ideal case, I0 is independent of v(t), so there is no amplitude modulation. Formula (5) is rewritten, and when the absorption a(v)CL is much less than 1, formula (8) is established.
[0122]
[0123] According to the Taylor series expansion, formula (9) can be obtained.
[0124]
[0125] As can be seen from formula (9), the n-th harmonic component is proportional to the concentration of the gas to be measured, and the harmonic component can be used to inverse the gas concentration. In actual calculation, considering the symmetry and amplitude of the harmonic, the second harmonic is often selected to use the ratio method to inverse the concentration.
[0126] After the CO concentration is obtained by inversion, the ratio of the concentration change amount to the time difference is the change rate of the CO concentration. The flux can be calculated after formula (10) is brought in.
[0127]
[0128] In the formula, F C is the soil CO2 flux we want to calculate. v is the total volume of the chamber, including the chamber volume and the collar volume, P0 is the initial pressure measured by the instrument, R is the gas constant. S is the surface area of the collar. T0 is the initial temperature we measured, is the initial change rate of the CO2 mole fraction.
