红壤丘陵景观单元土壤有机碳和微生物生物量碳含量特征

为了探讨我国亚热带红壤丘陵区不同利用方式下土壤有机碳(SOC)和土壤微生物生物量碳(SMB-C)含量的特征，在湖南省桃源县选取典型样区，通过密集取样，分析了红壤丘陵景观单元内水田、旱地、林地、果园4种典型利用方式下表层土壤(0～20 cm)SOC和SMB-C含量.结果表明，典型红壤丘陵景观单元中SOC含量高低的顺序为水田(16.0 g·kg^-1)＞旱地(11.2 g·kg^-1) ＞果园(9.5 g·kg^-1)＞林地(8.4 g·kg^-1)，SMB-C含量则为水田(830 mg·kg^-1)＞旱地(361 mg·kg^-1)＞林地(200 mg·kg^-1)＞果园(186 mg·kg^-1)，且在不同利用方式下SOC与SMB-C均呈极显著正相关(P＜0.01)，说明本研究区内各土地利用类型的土壤SMB-C含量变化可以敏感地指示SOC的动态.研究结果还表明，将我国亚热带红壤丘陵林地开垦为果园或耕地后，表层土壤 SOC含量不可能降低.

Characteristics of soil organic carbon and microbial biomass carbon in hilly red soil region

In this paper, 535 soil samples (0 to approximately 20 cm) were taken from the woodland, orchard, upland, and paddy field in the hilly red soil region of south China, and the quantitative characteristics of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil microbial biomass carbon (SMB-C) were studied. The results showed that SOC content was the highest (16.0 g x kg(-1)) in paddy field and the lowest (8.4 g x kg(-1)) in woodland, while SMB-C content was the highest in paddy field (830 mg x kg(-1)) and the lowest in orchard (200 mg x kg(-1)). There was a highly significant positive correlation (P < 0.01) between the contents of SOC and SMB-C in the four land-use types. It was suggested that the changes of SMB-C content could sensitively indicate the dynamics of SOC. The transition from woodland to orchard or cultivated land in hilly red soil region would not decrease the SOC content.
