Abstract:Effect of CCS technology for CO2 leakage on C4 crops seed germination is simulated so as to provide basic information for the potential effect of CCS technology for CO2 leakage on environment. With the help of artificial CO2 climate chamber, the impacts of CO2 on the percentage, potential and the average days of germination of 4 C4 corps like corn, sorghum, millet and broom corn millet were studied under the condition of normal, 10000, 20000, 40000, and 80000 mg/kg CO2 concentration by simulating the environment of high CO2 concentration resulted from CCS technology for CO2 leakage. The high CO2 concentration has little effect on germination percentage of corn, while the germination percentages of sorghum, millet and broom corn millet reach the maximum values at 10000, 20000, 20000 mg/kg CO2 concentration, respectively. High CO2 concentration also has no significant impact on the germination potential of corn, while all the germination potentials of sorghum, millet and broom corn millet reach the maximum values in 20000 mg/kg CO2. High CO2 concentration has little effect on the average germination days of four kinds of C4 crop, in which the effect toward broom corn millet is more significant than others. Various CO2 concentrations have the functions of promotion and inhibition toward the germinating percentage of C4 corps and however, the effect is not very obvious, in which the promotion range is about 1%~5% and the inhibition range is about 1%~4%. High concentration CO2 plays more significant role in promoting C4 crop seed germination potential, in which the promoting range is 9%~16%. High CO2 concentration has little effect on the average germination days of four kinds of C4 crop.
