帽儿山不同林龄落叶阔叶林土壤微生物生物量及其季节动态

土壤微生物在生态系统生物地球化学循环过程中扮演着重要角色,对于受到干扰后退化土壤的肥力恢复具有重要的意义,然而,采伐后次生林发展过程中土壤微生物生物量的动态尚不明确。在帽儿山森林生态站的落叶阔叶林中设置了一个由采伐后0年(采伐迹地)、10年、25年、56年的林分构成林龄系列样地,采用氯仿熏蒸浸提法,在生长季期间(4–10月)每月测定各林分土壤微生物生物量碳含量(C_(mic))、微生物生物量氮含量(N_(mic))、土壤可溶性有机碳含量(Cdis)、可溶性全氮含量(Ndis)、土壤含水率、温度等因子,以探索采伐干扰后不同林龄林分土壤微生物生物量的时间动态及其影响因子。结果表明:(1)不同林龄林分土壤微生物生物量生长季均值差异显著,C_(mic)表现为56年和采伐迹地显著高于25年和10年林分;N_(mic)表现为采伐迹地、56年显著高于10年林分,25年林分居中;C_(mic)/N_(mic)表现为56年、10年林分显著高于25年林分、采伐迹地。(2)采伐迹地微生物生物量季节变化格局与其他3个林龄林分的差异主要体现在生长季后期,前者表现为降低,而后者表现为升高或变化不明显;10年、25年、56年林分C_(mic)、N_(mic)季节变化格局的差异主要体现在生长季前期,变化幅度随林龄增长而降低;4个林龄林分C_(mic)/N_(mic)季节变化均表现为"W"形。(3)土壤微生物生物量的主要影响因子随林龄而变:随林龄增长,C_(mic)、N_(mic)的影响因子由土壤含水率(采伐迹地、10年生)逐渐转变为土壤可溶性养分含量(10年、25年、56年林分);采伐迹地C_(mic)/N_(mic)影响因子为土壤温度和Cdis,其他3个林龄林分则为Cdis/Ndis。这些结果说明:在采伐干扰后的次生林发展过程中,植被组成和土壤理化性质不断变化,提高了土壤微生物生物量,进而改善了土壤养分状况,显示出地上植被变化与地下微生物动态的密切联系。     

不同林龄白桦天然次生林土壤碳通量和有机碳储量

白桦天然次生林是中国东北地区地带性顶极植被类型——阔叶红松林遭到严重干扰破坏后恢复形成的主要天然次生林类型,测定了生长季内不同林龄白桦天然次生林(20、36、82a)的土壤呼吸速率及土壤碳含量。结果表明:土壤呼吸速率的季节变化呈单峰曲线,主要受土壤温度的驱动,土壤10cm处温度可以解释不同林龄白桦林之间土壤呼吸速率86%—92%的变异,土壤呼吸与土壤含水量关系不显著(P0.05)。随着林龄的增加,生长季内土壤表面CO2通量呈增加的趋势,依次分别为740(20a)、768(36a)和809(82a)g C m-2a-1。土壤呼吸的温度敏感性指数Q10亦随林龄的增加呈上升的趋势,依次分别为2.64、2.91和3.35。平均土壤有机碳含量(0—50cm土壤层)和碳密度均随林龄的增加而增加,随土壤深度的增加而减少;其中,随着林龄的增加土壤有机碳含量依次分别为43.75、47.72和55.96 g/kg,有机碳密度为14.7、18.1和18.7 kg/m2。不同林龄间土壤表面CO2年通量与土壤有机碳密度之间存在显著的正相关关系(P0.01),但其相关程度因土层而异,其中与0—10cm土层的有机碳密度相关最为密切(R2=0.908)。     

火干扰对小兴安岭草丛、灌丛沼泽温室气体短期排放的影响

利用静态箱-气相色谱法,研究了火烧干扰对小兴安岭草丛、灌丛沼泽生长季CH4、CO2、N2O排放的季节变化及影响因子结果表明:火干扰使草丛、灌丛沼泽生长季的平均气温和各层土壤温度提高0.1—2.0℃,水位平均下降2.7 cm。火干扰使草丛、灌丛沼泽样地CH4排放通量提高了56%、524.9%,CO2排放通量分别下降了57.3%、14.5%,N2O排放通量分别下降27.1%,64.9%。火烧前后草丛沼泽CH4、N2O与灌丛沼泽CO2排放通量季节性规律未发生变化。火干扰改变了草丛沼泽生长季CO2、灌丛沼泽N2O排放通量的季节性变化规律。草丛沼泽对照样地CH4排放通量与5 cm土壤温度存在显著相关性,草丛沼泽CH4排放通量与水位相关性不显著。灌丛沼泽CH4排放通量与各层土壤温度及水位均无显著相关性。草丛、灌丛沼泽对照样地土壤CO2排放通量与0—15 cm土壤温度呈显著或极显著正相关,火烧样地与0—30 cm土壤温度呈显著或极显著正相关。草丛、灌丛沼泽对照、火烧样地土壤CO2排放通量与水位极显著负相关。火干扰使草丛、灌丛沼泽CH4排放源的强度增强,CO2、N2O的排放消弱,全球温室潜势下降约为23.3%。火干扰能够减少草丛、灌丛沼泽温室气体排放。     

采伐对小兴安岭森林沼泽非生长季土壤温室气体排放的影响

中高纬度地区非生长季温室气体排放对生态系统碳、氮循环具有重要影响,但采伐干扰如何影响森林沼泽非生长季土壤温室气体排放尚不明确.本研究采用静态箱-气相色谱法,观测小兴安岭4种森林沼泽(毛赤杨沼泽、白桦沼泽、落叶松苔草沼泽、落叶松藓类沼泽)不同采伐方式下(对照、择伐45%、皆伐,试验处理已10年)非生长季土壤CO₂、CH₄、和N₂O通量及其相关环境因子(温度、湿度及碳氮含量等),分析采伐干扰对温带森林沼泽非生长季土壤温室气体排放的影响规律及主控因子.结果表明: 采伐干扰10年后,4种森林沼泽土壤CO₂、CH₄和N₂O非生长季平均通量分别在53.08～81.31 mg·m^-2·h^-1、0.09～3.07 mg·m^-2·h^-1和4.07～8.83 μg·m^-2·h^-1,其中,皆伐显著提高毛赤杨沼泽和落叶松藓类沼泽非生长季土壤CO₂、CH₄和N₂O排放量,择伐显著提高白桦沼泽、落叶松藓类沼泽及降低毛赤杨沼泽的CO₂排放量,且显著降低4种森林沼泽CH₄排放量及落叶松苔草沼泽的N₂O排放量;天然森林沼泽非生长季土壤CO₂排放受土壤温度、有机碳含量及C/N调控,CH₄受土壤温度、有机碳含量调控,N₂O受气温、土壤pH调控,采伐增加了CO₂排放与气温、土壤含水量及积雪深度的相关性,增加了CH₄排放与气温、土壤含水量、C/N的相关性,增加了N₂O排放与土壤全氮和C/N的相关性;温带天然森林沼泽非生长季土壤CO₂、CH₄和N₂O的年贡献率分别为33.2%～46.5%、6.3%～9.1%和61.5%～68.3%,皆伐提高了白桦沼泽和落叶松藓类沼泽CO₂年贡献率和除落叶松藓类沼泽外其他样地的N₂O年贡献率,择伐提高了落叶松苔草沼泽、落叶松藓类沼泽CO₂、CH₄和N₂O年贡献率,但降低了白桦沼泽3种气体年贡献率.温带天然森林沼泽非生长季土壤N₂O和CO₂的年贡献率相对较大,皆伐使两者年贡献率进一步提高,择伐却较大幅度提高了其CH₄的年贡献率.     

透光抚育对温带帽儿山红松林非生长季土壤温室气体排放的影响

非生长季土壤温室气体排放在碳氮循环中具有重要作用,而采伐干扰对非生长季森林土壤温室气体排放具有何种影响并不明确.采用静态暗箱-气相色谱法,同步观测温带帽儿山50年生红松人工林在不同透光抚育方式下(次生林冠下栽植红松10年时设立为对照;半透光抚育: 伐除上层林木50%;全透光抚育: 伐除上层林木100%)非生长季土壤3种温室气体(CO₂、CH₄和N₂O)排放通量及其相关环境因子(土壤温度、含水量及碳氮含量等),研究采伐干扰对非生长季森林土壤温室气体排放的影响及主控因子.结果表明: 透光抚育会降低非生长季土壤CO₂、CH₄和N₂O的排放通量,全透光和半透光抚育显著降低了温带红松林非生长季土壤CO₂排放量21.0%和22.8%,并降低CH₄吸收量16.0%和16.4%,但差异不显著,全透光抚育显著降低N₂O排放量23.5%,而半透光抚育降低11.2%且差异不显著.温带红松林非生长季土壤CO₂、CH₄和N₂O的年贡献率分别为11.7%～14.2%、13.1%～17.0%和63.9%～72.6%,透光抚育降低了非生长季土壤CO₂(1.4%～2.5%)和CH₄(0.7%～3.9%)年贡献率,但提高了N₂O年贡献率(2.4%～8.7%).透光抚育增加了CO₂排放与土壤温度、含水量、硝态氮及铵态氮的相关性,降低其与有机碳的相关性,增加了CH₄排放与土壤含水量、酸碱度、有机碳和铵态氮的相关性,降低其与硝态氮的相关性,增加了N₂O排放与土壤温度相关性,降低其与硝态氮和铵态氮的相关性,改变了其与土壤酸碱度的正负相关关系.因此,透光抚育经营方式能够显著影响温带森林非生长季土壤温室气体排放,其中全透光抚育降低非生长季土壤N₂O排放能力要强于半透光抚育.     

长白山阔叶红松林皆伐迹地土壤呼吸作用

 利用静态箱式法测量长白山阔叶红松(Pinus koraiensis)林伐后13年的皆伐迹地土壤呼吸作用。分析表明，皆伐迹地土壤呼吸作用日变化趋势呈单峰曲线，峰谷值出现时间较林地提前2～4 h，与土壤5 cm深度温度变化趋势基本一致。整个生长季节皆伐迹地土壤呼吸速率约为林地的75%，土壤温度与土壤呼吸作用存在显著的指数关系。在降水量集中的生长季，土壤水分对土壤呼吸作用具有一定的抑制作用，利用温度和水分双因子模型可以较好地解释皆伐迹地土壤呼吸作用的变异。阔叶红松林皆伐后生物量减少和微环境变化是造成土壤呼吸作用强度和动态特征发生变化的重要原因。     

帽儿山干扰系列次生林碳密度恢复

干扰作为森林恢复和生态演替的重要影响因子,通过其改变植被群落的组成和微环境,进而影响森林生态系统碳动态及固碳潜力。针对帽儿山地区阔叶红松原始林不同时期皆伐后形成的次生林干扰系列,包括林木采伐一次(NS,林龄56a)、采伐两次(MS,林龄25a)和采伐两次且扰动表层土壤(YD,林龄15a)的次生林,采用森林清查和异速生长方程结合的方法,旨在量化干扰方式对温带森林恢复进程中生态系统碳密度及分配格局的影响。结果表明：YD、MS和NS的0—50 cm各层次土壤有机碳含量的波动范围依次分别为10.46—29.27 mg/g、6.37—108.40 mg/g、5.21—114.34 mg/g;且随土层的加深土壤有机碳含量显著降低。表层土壤(0—20 cm)有机碳含量在各干扰处理间存在显著差异(P<0.01),而深层土壤有机碳含量差异不显著;土壤有机碳含量与容重呈显著负相关关系。表层土壤有机碳密度占土壤总有机碳密度(0—100 cm)的50%以上,YD的表层土壤有机碳密度(30.91 t/hm²)显著低于MS(54.09 t/hm²)和NS(55.1...     

大兴安岭林区兴安落叶松人工林土壤有机碳贮量

通过样地调查,研究了大兴安岭林区10、15、26和61年生兴安落叶松人工林0～ 40cm土壤有机碳(SOC)贮量,以及原始兴安落叶松林皆伐后营造人工林过程中SOC碳源/汇的变化.结果表明:随林龄的增加,兴安落叶松人工林SOC贮量呈现先减少后增加的趋势,转折点在林龄15 ～26 a.与原始落叶松林相比,兴安落叶松人工林土壤碳库初期(10 ～26 a)表现为碳源,之后逐渐转变为碳汇,林龄61 a时SOC贮量达158.91· hm-2.兴安落叶松人工林土壤碳库的垂直分布表现为初期下层SOC贮量高于上层,26 a后上层高于下层,说明人为干扰对该地区森林土壤碳库垂直分布产生了强烈的影响.大兴安岭林区兴安落叶松人工林的主伐年龄以＞60 a为宜.     

采伐干扰对东北温带次生林土壤CH4通量的影响

2007年6月至2009年10月,采用静态箱/气相色谱法测定了不同采伐干扰(皆伐后农作、皆伐后造林、50%强度采伐、25%强度采伐和对照)条件下,东北地区典型次生林的土壤CH₄通量. 结果表明: 研究样地的土壤均为CH₄的吸收汇.采伐干扰降低了土壤的CH₄吸收能力,不同处理样地土壤的CH₄吸收通量大小依次为:对照(-85.03 μg CH₄·m^-2·h^-1)>50%强度采伐(-80.31 μg CH₄·m^-2·h^-1)>25%强度采伐(-70.97 μg CH₄·m^-2·h^-1)>皆伐后农作(-65.57μg CH₄·m^-2·h^-1)>皆伐后造林(-62.02μg CH₄·m^-2·h^-1).各处理样地土壤CH₄吸收通量的季节动态相似,均表现为生长季吸收值较高,冬季较低.采伐干扰后各处理的土壤温度、土壤湿度、土壤硝态氮和铵态氮含量均增加,而土壤CH₄吸收通量与土壤温度呈显著二次相关,与土壤含水量呈线性负相关.次生林采伐后土壤含水量、土壤铵态氮和硝态氮含量的增加是土壤CH₄吸收通量降低的重要控制因子.     

武夷山不同林龄甜槠林土壤呼吸特征及影响因素

为揭示中亚热带常绿阔叶林群落优势种一甜槠天然林不同林龄林下土壤呼吸(Soil respiration,RS)差异及影响因素,采用LI-8100开路式土壤碳通量系统对武夷山自然保护区不同林龄(18、36、54、72 a)天然甜槠林进行了1年的野外原位测定。结果表明:(1)不同林龄甜槠林RS季节动态呈现明显的单峰趋势,林龄对冬季RS影响并不显著(P>0.05),秋季18 a甜槠林RS与其他3种林龄差异显著(P<0.05),林龄对土壤含水率的季节变化没有显著影响(P>0.05);(2)不同林龄甜槠林5 cm深土壤温度与RS拟合R2明显高于土壤含水率与RS拟合R2,随着林龄增大,RS温度敏感性指数Q10值呈上升趋势,依次为1.551、1.589、1.640、1.664,且54、72 a甜槠林RS温度敏感性指数Q10值显著高于18、36 a(P<0.05);(3)土壤含水率与5 cm深土壤温度共同解释了RS变异的86%—90.3%;0—60 cm土层根系生物量与5 cm深土壤温度共同解释了RS变异的88.3%—91.8%,由此可见,生物因子与非生物因子双因素拟合可以更好地解释不同林龄RS差异。在对未来森林植被土壤呼吸及碳汇功能进行研究时,应在考虑林龄及季节差异的基础上,加强对生物因子的测定。     

Soil carbon stocks and fluxes in a warm-temperate oak chronosequence in China

Soil respiration (R_S) and soil carbon stocks, as well as stand properties were investigated in a warm-temperate oak chronosequence in order to understand the age effect on soil CO₂ efflux. The chronosequence consisted of three 40-year-old, 48-year-old, 80-year-old, and 143-year-old oak stands, respectively. R_S measurements were conducted using a Li-8100 soil CO₂ flux system from October 2008 to October 2009. Temporal variations of R_S of all the four forests largely depended on soil temperature of 5 cm depth (T₅) (R²?=?0.738?C0.825). The mean R_S for 40-year-old, 48-year-old, 80-year-old, and 143-year-old forests were 2.37, 2.59, 2.99, and 3.32 ??mol CO₂ m^-2 s^-1 respectively. Both top soil organic carbon (SOC) and light fraction organic carbon (LFOC) stocks were significantly correlated to R_S variation, while only significant different LFOC among stands was found. This indicated that cumulated labile organic carbon was a better indicator on R_S variation, which was further illustrated by a better relationship between R ₁₀ and LFOC than that of R₁₀ and SOC. We found that the variation of mean R_S among stands was well correlated with basal area (BA). Marginal correlation between R_S and fine root biomass (FR) demonstrated the relationship between R_S and belowground metabolism. We also found total porosity (TP) negatively influenced the mean R_S and this negative effect may mainly be attributed to the capillary porosity (CP). Forest growth and yield could be contributed to R_S variation among stands. Forest succession also changed soil labile carbon stock and soil physical properties that influenced the CO₂ efflux.     

The role of environmental, root, and microbial biomass characteristics in soil respiration in temperate secondary forests of Northeast China

For secondary forests, the major forest resources in China (accounting for more than 50% of the national total), soil respiration (R _S) and the relationship between R _S and various biotic/abiotic factors are poorly understood. The objectives of the present study were to examine seasonal variations in soil respiration during the growing season, and to explore the factors affecting the variation in soil respiration rates for three forest types (Mongolian oak, Manchurian walnut and mixed forests) of temperate secondary forest in Northeast China. The results showed that (1) the maximum total R _S rate occurred in July, following a bell-shaped curve with season, (2) for all forest types, the total R _S was significantly influenced by soil temperature (P < 0.01), and did not significantly correlate with soil moisture, (3) compared with fine root biomass, coarse root biomass was more closely related with the root respiration in mixed forest (R ² = 0.711, P = 0.017) and in Manchurian walnut forest (R ² = 0.768, P = 0.010), and (4) microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and nitrogen were significantly correlated with heterotrophic R _S in Mongolian oak forest (R ² = 0.664, P = 0.026; R ² = 0.784, P = 0.008, respectively) and in mixed forest (R ² = 0.918, P = 0.001; R ² = 0.967, P = 0.001, respectively). We can conclude that in temperate secondary forests: (1) the R _S rate and the relationships between R _S and abiotic/biotic factors change greatly with forest types, and (2) R _S is strongly influenced by soil temperature, MBC, microbial biomass nitrogen and coarse root biomass in temperate secondary forests.     

Soil respiration in six temperate forests in China

Scaling soil respiration (R_S), the major CO₂ source to the atmosphere from terrestrial ecosystems, from chamber‐based measurements to ecosystems requires studies on variations and correlations of R_S from various biomes and across geographic regions. However, few studies on R_S are available for Chinese temperate forest despite the importance of this forest in the national and global carbon budgets. In this study, we conducted 18‐month R_S measurements during 2004–2005 in six temperate forest types, representing the typical secondary forest ecosystems across various site conditions in northeastern China: Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica Fisch.), aspen‐birch (Populous davidiana Dode and Betula platyphylla Suk.), mixed deciduous (no dominant tree species), hardwood (dominated by Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr., Juglans mandshurica Maxim., and Phellodendron amurense Rupr.) forests, Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.) and Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.) plantations. Our specific objectives were to: (1) explore relationships of R_S against soil temperature and water content for the six forest ecosystems, (2) quantify annual soil surface CO₂ flux and its relations to belowground carbon storage, (3) examine seasonal variations in R_S and related environmental factors, and (4) quantify among‐ and within‐ecosystem variations in R_S. The R_S was positively correlated to soil temperature in all forest types, and was significantly influenced by the interactions of soil temperature and water content in the pine, larch, and mixed deciduous forests. The sensitivity of R_S to soil temperature at 10 cm depth (Q₁₀) ranged from 2.61 in the oak forest to 3.75 in the aspen‐birch forests. The Q₁₀ tended to increase with soil water content until reaching a threshold, and then decline. The annual R_S for the larch, pine, hardwood, oak, mixed deciduous, and aspen‐birch forests averaged 403, 514, 781, 785, 786, and 813 g C m^?2 yr^?1, respectively. The annual R_S of the broadleaved forests was 72% greater than that of the coniferous forests. The annual R_S was positively correlated to soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration at O horizon (R²=0.868) and total biomass of roots <0.5 cm in diameter (R²=0.748). The coefficient of variation (CV) of R_S among forest types averaged 25% across the 18‐month measurements. The CV of R_S within plots varied from 20% to 27%, significantly (P<0.001) greater than those among plots (9–15%), indicating the importance of the fine‐scaled heterogeneity in R_S. This study emphasized that variations in soil respiration and potential sampling bias should be appropriately tackled for accurate soil CO₂ flux estimates.     

毛白杨树干呼吸及其温度敏感性季节变化特征

树干呼吸(E_s)是森林生态系统碳循环过程的重要组成部分,深入理解树干呼吸过程对未来气候变暖的响应及反馈机制有助于更加精确地估算森林生态系统碳储量。为揭示毛白杨树干呼吸及其温度敏感性的昼夜变化和季节动态规律,利用Li-Cor6400便携式光合作用测定系统及其配套使用的土壤呼吸测量气室(LI-6400-09)对冀南平原区毛白杨的树干呼吸和树干温度实施为期1年的连续监测。结果表明:(1)在生长季,毛白杨树干呼吸与树干温度之间在晚上呈现正相关的关系(R~2=0.88);相反,两者在白天为负相关的关系(R~2=0.96)。(2)整个观测期内,毛白杨树干呼吸和树干温度均呈现"钟形"的变化曲线,树干呼吸与树干温度之间存在着较好的指数函数关系(R~2=0.93),且树干呼吸的温度敏感性系数(Q_(10))为2.62;不同季节毛白杨树干呼吸的Q_(10)存在差异,生长季的Q_(10)(1.95)明显低于非生长季(3.00),表明生长呼吸和维持呼吸对温度的响应也并不相同。(3)温度矫正后的毛白杨树干呼吸(R_(15))在昼夜和季节尺度上均存在明显的变异,即夜晚的R_(15)显著高于白天(P0.01),生长季的R_(15)明显高于非生长季(P0.05);树干可溶性糖含量与生长季的R_(15)存在较好的相关性(R~2=0.52),而非生长季的R_(15)却主要受到树干淀粉含量的影响。研究结果表明,在生长季,毛白杨树干呼吸的在日变化主要受到温度的影响,而在季节尺度上Q_(10)的变异则与树干呼吸中维持呼吸所占比例及树干中非结构性碳水化合物(可溶性糖和淀粉)的含量及类型紧密相关。     

Seasonal variation in soil CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> efflux in evergreen coniferous and broad-leaved deciduous forests in a cool-temperate forest,central Korea

We measured the soil surface CO₂ efflux (R _S) from January 2005 to December 2006 in two neighboring stands in Gwangneung Forest, central Korea: evergreen coniferous forest (Abies holophylla, stand A) and broad-leaved deciduous forest (Quercus-dominated, stand Q). Regarding seasonal variation, R _S rate was low during the winter and early spring months in each stand and peaked in late July [1170 (stand A) and 1130 (stand Q) in 2005, and 1000 (stand A) and 740 (stand Q) mg CO₂ m⁻² h⁻¹ in 2006]. R _S rate was higher in stand A than in stand Q during most of the growing season. The pattern of summer rainfall differed between 2005 and 2006. R _S rate for both stands was suppressed significantly by the droughts in June 2005 and September 2006. After the heavy rainfall of July 2006, R _S rate was lower than in July 2005 in both stands, but this decrement was much greater in stand Q than in stand A. In midsummer (August) 2006, under higher soil temperature (ST) and lower soil water content (SWC) conditions than in August 2005, R _S rate of stand A was lower than that in August 2005, whereas stand Q showed no marked change. The exponential relationship between ST and R _S accounted for approximately 91–97% of the R _S variability in each stand and in each year. In stand A, the application of a second-order polynomial function indicated a significant correlation between SWC and R _S when the soil was warm (ST > 15°C). Our results suggest that the seasonality of R _S is strongly affected by the pattern of summer rainfall even in an Asia monsoon climate regime. In addition, the vegetation type (i.e., evergreen coniferous forest vs. broad-leaved deciduous forest) plays a significant role in response of R _S to various environmental fluctuations such as drought, heavy rainfall, and hot-dry condition.     

广西珍珠湾三种红树林林分土壤碳氮储量的研究

为了探讨不同红树林林分土壤有机碳(soil organic carbon,SOC)和全氮(total nitrogen,TN)储量空间的分布特征以及与C/N的相关性,该研究以广西防城珍珠湾红树林湿地为对象,通过样地调查取样和实验室分析,测定了SOC和TN的含量以及土壤碳储量的计量,揭示了广西北仑河珍珠湾秋茄、木榄和混交林三种红树林林分SOC和TN储量空间的分布特征以及C/N与SOC和TN的相关性。结果表明:(1)秋茄、木榄和混交林的SOC储量分别为140.73、124.94、144.71 t·hm~(-2),三者无显著性差异(P0.05);木榄和混交林垂直分布特征表现为20～40 cm0～20 cm40～60 cm,秋茄表现为随着土层深度的增加而递减。(2)秋茄、木榄和混交林的TN储量分别为6.49、5.01、5.87 t·hm~(-2),表现为随着土层深度的增加而减少的趋势。(3)秋茄、木榄和混交林的SOC与TN储量之间的相关性极显著(P0.01),相关系数分别为0.924、0.971和0.844,说明SOC与TN之间存在一定的耦合效应。(4)三种林分的C/N比值范围为16.77～24.39,表明有机质主要来源于陆地,木榄和混交林土壤的C/N值与SOC储量有显著的相关性(P0.05),三种林分的C/N比值与TN储量相关性均不显著。(5)三种红树林林分的土壤碳储量均高于我国森林土壤碳储量的平均值,且SOC与TN储量之间的相关性极显著。     

Rhizospheric and heterotrophic components of soil respiration in six Chinese temperate forests

Partitioning soil respiration (R_S) into heterotrophic (R_H) and rhizospheric (R_R) components is an important step for understanding and modeling carbon cycling in forest ecosystems, but few studies on R_R and R_H exist in Chinese temperate forests. In this study, we used a trenching plot approach to partition R_S in six temperate forests in northeastern China. Our specific objectives were to (1) examine seasonal patterns of soil surface CO₂ fluxes from trenched (R_T) and untrenched plots (R_UT) of these forests; (2) quantify annual fluxes of R_S components and their relative contributions in the forest ecosystems; and (3) examine effects of plot trenching on measurements of R_S and related environmental factors. The R_T maximized in early growing season, but the difference between R_UT and R_T peaked in later summer. The annual fluxes of R_H and R_R varied with forest types. The estimated values of R_H for the Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.), Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.), aspen‐birch (Populous davidiana Dode and Betula platyphylla Suk.), hardwood (Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr., Juglans mandshurica Maxim. and Phellodendron amurense Rupr.), Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica Fisch.) and mixed deciduous (no dominant tree species) forests averaged 89, 196, 187, 245, 261 and 301 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹, respectively; those of R_R averaged 424, 209, 628, 538, 524 and 483 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹, correspondingly; calculated contribution of R_R to R_S (RC) varied from 52% in the larch forest to 83% in the pine forest. The annual flux of R_R was strongly correlated to biomass of roots <0.5 cm in diameter, while that of R_H was weakly correlated to soil organic carbon concentration at A horizon. We concluded that vegetation type and associated carbon metabolisms of temperate forests should be considered in assessing and modeling R_S components. The significant impacts of changed soil physical environments and substrate availability by plot trenching should be appropriately tackled in analyzing and interpreting measurements of R_S components.     

Changes in soil carbon and nitrogen cycling along a 72-year wildfire chronosequence in Michigan jack pine forests

We investigated the changes in soil processes following wildfire in Michigan jack pine (Pinus banksiana) forests using a chronosequence of 11 wildfire-regenerated stands spanning 72 years. The objective of this study was to characterize patterns of soil nutrients, soil respiration and N mineralization with stand development, as well as to determine the mechanisms driving those patterns. We measured in situ N mineralization and soil respiration monthly during the 2002 growing season and used multiple regression analysis to determine the important factors controlling these processes. Growing-season soil respiration rates ranged from a low of 156 g C/m² in the 7-year-old stand to a high of 254 g C/m² in the 22-year-old stand, but exhibited no clear pattern with stand age. In general, soil respiration rates peaked during the months of July and August when soil temperatures were highest. We used a modified gamma function to model a temporal trend in total N mineralization (total N mineralization = 1.853−0.276 × age × e ^{−0.814 × age}; R ² = 0.381; P = 0.002). Total N mineralization decreased from 2.8 g N/m² in the 1-year-old stand to a minimum value of 0.5 g N/m² in the 14-year-old stand, and then increased to about 1.5 g N/m² in mature stands. Changes in total N mineralization were driven by a transient spike in N turnover in the mineral soil immediately after wildfire, followed by a gradual accrual of a slow-cycling pool of N in surface organic horizons as stands matured. Thus, in Michigan jack pine forests, the accumulation of surface organic matter appears to regulate N availability following stand-replacing wildfire.     

Productivity of forests in the Eurosiberian boreal region and their potential to act as a carbon sink –- a synthesis

Based on review and original data, this synthesis investigates carbon pools and fluxes of Siberian and European forests (600 and 300 million ha, respectively). We examine the productivity of ecosystems, expressed as positive rate when the amount of carbon in the ecosystem increases, while (following micrometeorological convention) downward fluxes from the atmosphere to the vegetation (NEE = Net Ecosystem Exchange) are expressed as negative numbers. Productivity parameters are Net Primary Productivity (NPP=whole plant growth), Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP = CO₂ assimilation minus ecosystem respiration), and Net Biome Productivity (NBP = NEP minus carbon losses through disturbances bypassing respiration, e.g. by fire and logging). Based on chronosequence studies and national forestry statistics we estimate a low average NPP for boreal forests in Siberia: 123 gC m^–2 y^–1. This contrasts with a similar calculation for Europe which suggests a much higher average NPP of 460 gC m^–2 y^–1 for the forests there. Despite a smaller area, European forests have a higher total NPP than Siberia (1.2–1.6 vs. 0.6–0.9 × 10¹⁵ gC region^–1 y^–1). This arises as a consequence of differences in growing season length, climate and nutrition. For a chronosequence of Pinus sylvestris stands studied in central Siberia during summer, NEE was most negative in a 67-y old stand regenerating after fire (– 192 mmol m^–2 d^–1) which is close to NEE in a cultivated forest of Germany (– 210 mmol m^–2 d^–1). Considerable net ecosystem CO₂-uptake was also measured in Siberia in 200- and 215-y old stands (NEE:174 and – 63 mmol m^–2 d^–1) while NEP of 7- and 13-y old logging areas were close to the ecosystem compensation point. Two Siberian bogs and a bog in European Russia were also significant carbon sinks (– 102 to – 104 mmol m^–2 d^–1). Integrated over a growing season (June to September) we measured a total growing season NEE of – 14 mol m^–2 summer^–1 (– 168 gC m^–2 summer^–1) in a 200-y Siberian pine stand and – 5 mol m^–2 summer^–1 (– 60 gC m^–2 summer^–1) in Siberian and European Russian bogs. By contrast, over the same period, a spruce forest in European Russia was a carbon source to the atmosphere of (NEE: + 7 mol m^–2 summer^–1 = + 84 gC m^–2 summer^–1). Two years after a windthrow in European Russia, with all trees being uplifted and few successional species, lost 16 mol C m^–2 to the atmosphere over a 3-month in summer, compared to the cumulative NEE over a growing season in a German forest of – 15.5 mol m^–2 summer^–1 (– 186 gC m^–2 summer^–1; European flux network annual averaged – 205 gC m^–2 y^–1). Differences in CO₂-exchange rates coincided with differences in the Bowen ratio, with logging areas partitioning most incoming radiation into sensible heat whereas bogs partitioned most into evaporation (latent heat). Effects of these different surface energy exchanges on local climate (convective storms and fires) and comparisons with the Canadian BOREAS experiment are discussed. Following a classification of disturbances and their effects on ecosystem carbon balances, fire and logging are discussed as the main processes causing carbon losses that bypass heterotrophic respiration in Siberia. Following two approaches, NBP was estimated to be only about 13–16 mmol m^–2 y^–1 for Siberia. It may reach 67 mmol m^–2 y^–1 in North America, and about 140–400 mmol m^–2 y^–1 in Scandinavia. We conclude that fire speeds up the carbon cycle, but that it results also in long-term carbon sequestration by charcoal formation. For at least 14 years after logging, regrowth forests remain net sources of CO₂ to the atmosphere. This has important implications regarding the effects of Siberian forest management on atmospheric concentrations. For many years after logging has taken place, regrowth forests remain weaker sinks for atmospheric CO₂ than are nearby old-growth forests.
