项目摘要

The Phanerozoic Eon (the last 540 million years) encompasses the evolutionary history of land plants from the initial colonization of the land through to forests and flowering plants. Earth's climate has undergone major changes over this timeframe, but it remains uncertain whether these changes were primarily driven by revolutions in the terrestrial biosphere, or by tectonic factors such as volcanic degassing of CO2. Resolution of this question lies at the heart of our understanding of how our planet operates, but the ability to answer it has been hampered by a lack of representation of the terrestrial biosphere in our biogeochemical computer models. These 'deep-time' models need to be simple in order to compute very long timescales, and this limits the ability to include spatial features such as locations of rainfall, which are vital to terrestrial modelling. A perhaps more fundamental problem is the lack of understanding of the way that plant evolution has altered global chemical cycling through changes to carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus ratios in tissue, and what the contribution of fungal and microbial symbionts were to supplying key limiting nutrients. This project brings together expertise in computer science, geochemistry, ecology and plant-symbiont physiology to build a new deep-time spatial Earth system model, informed by a targeted suite of plant growth experiments and a robust literature review.Firstly, we will run laboratory experiments with early diverging plants and symbiotic nitrogen-fixing trees, with and without partnership with fungal and/or nitrogen-fixing symbionts in microcosms with controlled atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Introduction of isotopically-labeled carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus will allow us to capture the carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus stoichiometric ratios and nutrient acquisition pathways for diverse plant-symbiont partnerships across the plant phylogeny, filling significant gaps in current knowledge of these processes. These experiments will allow us to understand:a. Plant-symbiont carbon-nutrient "costs" and "benefits" in terms of plant-fixed carbon and symbiont-acquired nutrient gainsb. How ecological stoichiometry and nutrient acquisition pathways vary across the land plant phylogenyc. Relationships between species, symbiont and mineral weathering ratesSecond, we will develop our new Earth system model. Here we will build on the framework of the 'COPSE' model (Carbon Oxygen Phosphorus Sulphur Evolution), which is arguably the most complete predictive 'deep time' box model in the literature, and which PI Mills has had a key role in developing over the last decade. A prototype fast spatial land surface module has been developed utilizing matrices in MATLAB and in this project we will couple the spatial land surface module to COPSE. This will allow us to build a dynamical representation of the evolving terrestrial biosphere, based both on our laboratory experiments and on literature vegetation models. This model will map the flows of phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon through the terrestrial system over geological timescales. Comparison of model outputs with multiple independent geochemical proxies will allow us to explore (1) how plant evolution and the development of symbiotic partnerships feeds back on Earth's climate; (2) the key evolutionary events that occurred through time and whether they can explain prominent CO2 drawdown events, such as during the Ordovician and Cenozoic; and, (3) the relative roles of the terrestrial biosphere vs. tectonics in controlling Earth's climatic history.Beyond the immediate results, the hybrid model we create will bridge the gap between box modelling of global geochemistry and true paleoclimate general circulation modelling, providing a useful tool for the community to further extend and employ.
显生宙Eon(过去的5.4亿年)涵盖了陆地植物的进化历史,从最初的陆地殖民到森林和开花植物。地球气候在这段时间内经历了重大变化,但目前仍不确定这些变化主要是由陆地生物圈的革命驱动的,还是由火山喷发二氧化碳等构造因素驱动的。这个问题的解决是我们理解地球如何运行的核心,但由于我们的生物地球化学计算机模型中缺乏陆地生物圈的代表性,回答这个问题的能力受到了阻碍。这些“深时间”模型需要简单,以便计算非常长的时间尺度,这限制了包括降雨位置等空间特征的能力,这些空间特征对陆地建模至关重要。一个可能更根本的问题是,缺乏对植物进化通过改变组织中的碳、氮、磷比例来改变全球化学循环的方式的了解,以及真菌和微生物共生体对提供关键限制营养物质的贡献。这个项目集合了计算机科学、地球化学、生态学和植物共生生理学的专业知识,以一套有针对性的植物生长实验和强大的文献综述为基础,建立了一个新的深时间空间地球系统模型。首先,我们将对早期分枝植物和共生固氮树木进行实验室实验,在大气二氧化碳浓度受控的微宇宙中与真菌和/或固氮共生微生物建立或不建立伙伴关系。碳、氮和磷同位素标记的引入将使我们能够捕捉到植物系统发育过程中不同植物-共生伙伴关系的碳-氮-磷化学计量比和营养获取途径,填补了目前对这些过程的认识的重大空白。这些实验将使我们了解:a.植物-共生体碳-养分在植物固定碳和共生体获得的营养收益方面的“成本”和“收益”。生态化学计量学和养分获取途径在陆地植物系统发育中的变化。物种、共生体和矿物风化速率之间的关系第二,我们将建立新的地球系统模型。在这里,我们将构建‘COPSE’模型(碳、氧、磷、硫的演化)的框架,该模型可以说是文献中最完整的预测‘深时间’盒子模型,并且Pi Mills在过去十年的开发中发挥了关键作用。利用MatLab中的矩阵开发了一个快速空间陆面模块原型,在本项目中,我们将空间陆面模块耦合到COPSE。这将使我们能够在实验室实验和文献植被模型的基础上,建立陆地生物圈演变的动态表示。这个模型将绘制出在地质时间尺度上磷、氮和碳在陆地系统中的流动情况。将模型输出与多个独立的地球化学指标进行比较,将使我们能够探索(1)植物进化和共生伙伴关系的发展如何反馈地球气候;(2)随时间发生的关键进化事件及其是否可以解释显著的二氧化碳减少事件,例如在奥陶纪和新生代;(3)陆地生物圈和构造在控制地球气候历史中的相对作用。除了直接的结果,我们创建的混合模型将弥合全球地球化学的盒子模型和真实的古气候一般环流模型之间的差距,为社区进一步扩展和使用提供一个有用的工具。
