帽儿山温带森林演替初期土壤碳、氮、磷计量特征的变化

2004年在帽儿山森林生态站设置土壤置换试验,将0～30 cm农田土置换成邻近天然次生林淋溶层土(A处理)、淀积层土(B处理)和母质层土(风化砂,C处理),分别模拟森林皆伐次生演替、无种子库次生演替和原生演替,2014年研究温带落叶阔叶林不同演替类型在自然演替初期土壤碳、氮、磷计量特征的变化.结果表明: 演替10年,A处理土壤碳、氮、磷含量无显著变化,B处理土壤碳和氮含量分别降低34.7%和38.6%,而C处理土壤碳和氮含量分别增加63.4%和198.4%.植被演替后,氮-碳异速生长关系斜率显著降低,磷-氮异速生长速率显著升高.10年演替后,仅C处理土壤C∶N减小44.5%,N∶P增加283.6%,其他处理变化不显著.土壤碳、氮、磷含量与活细根现存量、死细根现存量均存在显著相关关系,植被演替可能主要通过改变有机质输入驱动土壤碳、氮、磷含量及其计量关系.

Changes in stoichiometry of soil carbon,nitrogen and phosphorus in the early stage of temperate forest succession in Maoershan,Northeast China

A soil displacement experiment was established in the Maoershan Forest Ecosystem Research Station in 2004, replacing the cropland soil of the 0-30 cm depth with the eluvial horizon soil (A treatment), the sediment horizon soil (B treatment) and the parent material horizon soil (weathered sand, C treatment) of an adjacent temperate broadleaved stand. The three treatments simulated the secondary successions from forest clear-cutting, bare soil without seed bank, and primary succession, respectively. Changes in soil carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and their stoichiometry were examined in 2014. The results indicated that during the ten-year succession, the contents of soil C, N and P changed insignificantly in the A treatment. The contents of soil C and N decreased by 34.7% and 38.6% in the B treatment, but increased by 63.4% and 198.4% in the C treatment, respectively. The slope of the log-transformed N-C relationships decreased significantly during the succession, while the slope of the log-transformed P-N relationships increased significantly. After 10-year’s succession, only the C:N decreased by 44.5%, and the N:P increased by 283.6% in the C treatment, with no significant changes for others. The contents of C, N and P were significantly correlated with the root biomass and necromass, suggesting that the succession might change the soil elements and their stoichiometric relationships through modifying organic matter inputs.
