模拟增温对川西亚高山人工林土壤有机碳含量和土壤呼吸的影响

采用原位OTCs模拟增温方法，研究了川西亚高山人工云杉林下土壤有机碳含量、土壤呼吸速率及土壤酶活性对温度升高的响应.结果表明：在2005年11月—2007年7月的模拟增温试验期间，林下空气平均温度和土壤平均温度分别比对照提高了042 ℃和025 ℃.增温1年和2年后的0～10 cm和10～20 cm层土壤有机碳、C/N均比对照有所降低：增温1年后，在0～10 cm层分别降低了869%和852%；增温2年后的降低幅度比增温1年后有所缓解.与对照相比，增温1年后土壤呼吸速率显著提高；2年后，土壤呼吸没有明显差异，表现出对温度升高的适应性.增温1年后，蔗糖酶、过氧化氢酶、蛋白酶、脲酶和多酚氧化酶活性均增强，其中0～10 cm土层的蔗糖酶和多酚氧化酶活性与对照的差异达到显著水平；增温2年后，蔗糖酶、蛋白酶和脲酶活性仍有所增强，但过氧化氢酶和多酚氧化酶活性与对照相比则呈下降趋势.

Effects of elevated temperature on soil organic carbon and soil respiration under subalpine coniferous forest in western Sichuan Province, China.

To investigate the effects of elevated temperature on the soil organic carbon content, soil respiration rate, and soil enzyme activities in subalpine Picea asperata plantations in western Sichuan Province of China, a simulation study was conducted in situ with open top chambers from November 2005 to July 2007. The results showed that under elevated temperature, the mean air temperature and soil temperature were 0.42 ℃ and 0.25 ℃ higher than the control, respectively. In the first and the second year, the increased temperature had somewhat decreasing effects on the soil organic carbon and the C/N ratio at the soil depths of 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm. In the first year the soil organic carbon and the C/N ratio in 0-10 cm soil layer decreased by 8.69%, and 8.52%, respectively; but in the second year, the decrements were lesser. Soil respiration rate was significantly enhanced in the first year of warming, but had no significant difference with the control in the second year. In the first year of warming, the activities of soil invertase, polyphenol oxidase, catalase, protease, and urease increased, and the invertase and polyphenol oxidase activities in 0-10 cm soil layer were significantly higher than the control. In the second year of warming, the activities of invertase, protease and urease still had an increase, but those of catalase and polyphenol oxidase had a downtrend, compared with the control.
