مستخلص: • Warming enhanced steppe CH 4 uptake but didn't alter swamp meadow CH 4 emissions. • The distinct responses were linked with different warming effects on CH 4 drivers. • Enhanced CH 4 sink across the entire alpine grasslands with moderate warming. Soil moisture plays a vital role in regulating the direction and magnitude of methane (CH 4) fluxes. However, it remains unclear whether the responses of CH 4 fluxes to climate warming exhibit difference between dry and moist ecosystems. Based on standardized manipulative experiments (i.e. , consistent experimental design and measurement protocols), here we explored warming effects on growing season CH 4 fluxes in two alpine grasslands with contrasting water status on the Tibetan Plateau. We observed that experimental warming enhanced CH 4 uptake in the relatively arid alpine steppe, but had no significant effects on CH 4 emission in the moist swamp meadow. The distinct responses of CH 4 fluxes were associated with the different warming effects on biotic and abiotic factors related to CH 4 oxidation and production processes. Warming decreased soil water-filled pore space (WFPS) and increased the pmoA gene abundance and CH 4 oxidation potential in the alpine steppe, which together led to a significant increase in CH 4 uptake at this alpine steppe site. However, warming-induced enhancement in CH 4 oxidation potential might be counteracted by the simultaneously increased CH 4 production potential in the swamp meadow, which could then result in insignificant warming effects on CH 4 emission at this swamp meadow site. Based on a meta-analysis of warming effects on CH 4 fluxes across the entire Tibetan Plateau, we found that the entire alpine grasslands could absorb an extra 0.042 Tg CH 4 (1 Tg = 1012 g) per growing season if soil temperature increased by 1 °C. These findings demonstrate that warming effects on CH 4 fluxes differ between two alpine grasslands with contrasting moisture conditions and the entire alpine grasslands may not trigger a positive CH 4 feedback to climate system with moderate warming.
