我国北方干旱半干旱地区人工造林对地下水位变化影响的模拟研究 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
水资源短缺已成为阻碍我国社会可持续发展的至关因素,而其中地下水资源短缺更甚。自1952年我国于干旱半干旱地区实施大规模人工造林以来,大量研究资料显示人工林的蒸散量要普遍高于当地自然植被的蒸散量,这可能会打破当地的地下水平衡。而以往我国有关人工造林对地下水位影响的研究较欠缺,因此在基于两种假设条件下,运用7种蒸散发模型测算了人工造林活动对北方干旱半干旱地区的地下水位影响。结果表明大规模的人工造林活动会降低地下水位高度,基于假设条件一,甘肃、宁夏和新疆地下水位下降严重;基于假设条件二,北京地下水位下降明显。提出我国在未来生态修复实践中要考虑对地下水供给的影响,确定合理造林规模并选择栽培乡土树种,真正提高地下水资源利用率。 相似文献

Patterns and mechanisms of soil acidification in the conversion of grasslands to forests 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Grassland to forest conversions currently affect some of the world's most productive regions and have the potential to modify many soil properties. We used afforestation of native temperate humid grassland in the Pampas with eucalypts as an experimental system to 1) isolate forest and grassland imprints on soil acidity and base cation cycling and 2) evaluate the mechanisms of soil acidification. We characterized soil changes with afforestation using ten paired stands of native grasslands and Eucalyptus plantations (10–100 years of age). Compared to grasslands, afforested stands had lower soil pH (4.6 vs.5.6, p < 0.0001) and 40% lower exchangeable Ca (p < 0.001) in the top 20 cm of the soil. At three afforested stands where we further characterized soil changes to one meter depth, soil became increasingly acidic from 5 to 35 cm depth but more alkaline below 60 cm compared to adjacent grasslands, with few differences observed between 35 and 60 cm. These changes corresponded with gains of exchangeable acidity and Na in intermediate and deeper soil layers. Inferred ecosystem cation balances (biomass + forest floor + first meter of mineral soil) revealed substantial vertical redistributions of Ca and Mn and a tripling of Na pools within the mineral soil after afforestation. Soil exchangeable acidity increased 0.5–1.2 kmolc.Ha–1.yr–1 across afforested stands, although no aboveground acidic inputs were detected in wet + dry deposition, throughfall and forest floor leachates. Our results suggest that cation cycling and redistribution by trees, rather than cation leaching by organic acids or enhanced carbonic acid production in the soil, is the dominant mechanism of acidification in this system. The magnitude of soil changes that we observed within half a century of tree establishment in the Pampas emphasizes the rapid influence of vegetation on soil formation and suggests that massive afforestation of grasslands for carbon sequestration could have important consequences for soil fertility and base cation cycles. 相似文献

Water use by plants in landscapes with shallow saline groundwater may lead to the accumulation of salt in the root zone. We examined the accumulation of Na+ and Cl? around the roots of the halophyte Atriplex nummularia Lindl. and the impacts of this increasing salinity for stomatal conductance, water use and growth. Plants were grown in columns filled with a sand–clay mixture and connected at the bottom to reservoirs containing 20, 200 or 400 mM NaCl. At 21 d, Na+ and Cl? concentrations in the soil solution were affected by the salinity of the groundwater, height above the water table and the root fresh mass density at various soil depths (P < 0.001). However, by day 35, the groundwater salinity and height above the water table remained significant factors, but the root fresh mass density was no longer significant. Regression of data from the 200 and 400 mM NaCl treatments showed that the rate of Na+ accumulation in the soil increased until the Na+ concentration reached ~250 mM within the root zone; subsequent decreases in accumulation were associated with decreases in stomatal conductance. Salinization of the soil solution therefore had a feedback effect on further salinization within the root zone. 相似文献

Six 1 ha plots were established in a coastal savanna, called Fathala Forest, in Delta du Saloum National Park, Senegal. Two plots were placed in woodland, two in wooded grassland, and two in transition woodland in order to describe structure and floristic composition of the vegetation. All trees ≥ 5 cm dbh were sampled. The three selected vegetation types showed distinct differences in structure as well as in species composition. Woodland had high density (440–449 individuals per ha), many small trees, and high basal area (13.4 m2 per ha). Transition woodland was characterised by low density (54–118 individuals per ha) but many large trees and a relatively large basal area (8.6–12.8 m2 per ha). Wooded grassland was characterised by medium sized trees, it had low density (86–102 individuals per ha) and low basal area (3.8–5.7 m2 per ha). Species richness ranged between 17 and 27 species per ha in the six plots. Only two species were found in all plots, Daniellia oliveri (Caesalpiniaceae) and Prosopis africana (Mimosaceae). Legumes dominated all plots. Wooded grassland and transition woodland had many characteristics of fire-affected vegetation in contrast to woodland. Today wooded grassland encroaches on woodland and transition woodland. Management of the latter two vegetation types should be given priority as they maintain structural and floristic characteristics that are essential to conserve biodiversity and original features of the vegetation, and they are also important for local people who are allowed to make sustainable use of the vegetation. 相似文献

Assessing the impact of land-use change on soil C sequestration in agricultural soils by means of organic matter fractionation and stable C isotopes 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

Within the framework of the Kyoto Protocol, the potential mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions by terrestrial ecosystems has placed focus on carbon sequestration following afforestation of former arable land. Central to this soil C sequestration are the dynamics of soil organic matter (SOM). In North Eastern Italy, a mixed deciduous forest was planted on continuous maize field soil with a strong C4 isotopic C signature 20 years ago. In addition, a continuous maize field and a relic of the original permanent grassland were maintained at the site, thus offering the opportunity to compare the impacts on soil C dynamics by conventional agriculture, afforestation and permanent grassland. Soil samples from the afforested, grassland and agricultured systems were separated in three aggregate size classes, and inter‐ vs. intra‐aggregate particulate organic matter was isolated. All fractions were analyzed for their C content and isotopic signature. The distinct 13C signature of the C derived from maize vegetation allowed the calculation of proportions of old vs. forest‐derived C of the physically defined fractions of the afforested soil. Long‐term agricultural use significantly decreased soil C content (?48%), in the top 10 cm, but not SOM aggregation, as compared to permanent grassland. After 20 years, afforestation increased the total amount of soil C by 23% and 6% in the 0–10 and in the 10–30 cm depth layer, respectively. Forest‐derived carbon contributed 43% and 31% to the total soil C storage in the afforested systems in the 0–10 and 10–30 cm depths, respectively. Furthermore, afforestation resulted in significant sequestration of new C and stabilization of old C in physically protected SOM fractions, associated with microaggregates (53–250 μm) and silt&clay (<53 μm). 相似文献

To study salt dynamics in soil profiles under different groundwater conditions, a 3-year indoor experiment was carried out under conditions of open-air evaporation. Silt loam soil was treated under three groundwater table depths (0.85, 1.05, and 1.55 m) combined with three groundwater salinities: 0.40 dS m? 1 (2 g l? 1), 0.80 dS m? 1 (4 g l? 1), and 1.60 dS m? 1 (8 g l? 1). A total of nine soil columns (0.14 m internal diameter) were used to simulate different combinations of groundwater depths and salinities. The results obtained showed that salt first accumulated at the bottom of the soil column, and only when soil salinity in this layer had remained relatively stable with time, salt began to accumulate in the adjacent upper soil layers. When all subsoil layers had reached dynamic salinity equilibrium, electrical conductivity (EC) of soils in the surface layer began to increase drastically. With increasing salt accumulation in the surface soil, EC of the subsoil began to rise tardily. The further up the soil layer, the earlier EC started to increase, although the redistribution of salts in the soil profile tended to be homogenous. Groundwater depth did not significantly change subsoil EC values at the same depth; however, it distinctly affected the time needed for the subsoil to reach dynamic salinity equilibrium. Groundwater salinity, on the other hand, did not significantly alter the time point at which soil salinity at the same depth began to increase rapidly or the time period needed to reach dynamic salinity equilibrium. This study explored salt transport processes in the soil profile through a long-term experiment, enabling us to reveal some general laws governing salt dynamics that will be very important to understand the mechanism of soil salinization. The results could be further used to set up strategies to prevent salinization or to improve salt-affected soils. 相似文献

Aims Although many studies have reported net gains of soil organic carbon (SOC) after afforestation on croplands, this is uncertain for Chinese paddy rice croplands. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of afforestation of paddy rice croplands on SOC sequestration and soil respiration (R s). Such knowledge would improve our understanding of the effectiveness of various land use options on greenhouse gas mitigation in China.Methods The investigation was conducted on the Chongming Island, north subtropical China. Field sites were reclaimed from coastal salt marshes in the 1960s, and soils were homogeneous with simple land use histories. SOC stocks and R s levels were monitored over one year in a paddy rice cropland, an evergreen and a deciduous broad-leaved plantation established on previous paddy fields and a reference fallow land site never cultivated. Laboratory incubation of soil under fast-changing temperatures was used to compare the temperature sensitivity (Q 10) of SOC decomposition across land uses.Important findings After 15–20 years of afforestation on paddy fields, SOC concentration only slightly increased at the depth of 0–5cm but decreased in deeper layers, which resulted in a net loss of SOC stock in the top 40cm. Seasonal increase of SOC was observed during the rice-growing period in croplands but not in afforested soils, suggesting a stronger SOC sequestration by paddy rice cropping. However, SOC sequestered under cropping was more labile, as indicated by its higher contents of dissolved organic carbon and microbial biomass. Also, paddy soils had higher annual R s than afforested soils; R s abruptly increased after paddy fields were drained and plowed and remained distinctively high throughout the dry farming period. Laboratory incubation revealed that paddy soils had a much higher Q 10 of SOC decomposition than afforested soils. Given that temperature was the primary controller of R s in this region, it was concluded that despite the stronger SOC sequestration by paddy rice cropping, its SOC was less stable than in afforested systems and might be more easily released into the atmosphere under global warming. 相似文献

Plants, by influencing water fluxes across the ecosystem–vadose zone–aquifer continuum, can leave an imprint on salt accumulation
and distribution patterns. We explored how the conversion of native grasslands to oak plantations affected the abundance and
distribution of salts on soils and groundwater through changes in the water balance in naturally salt-affected landscapes
of Hortobagy (Hungary), a region where artificial drainage performed ∼150 years ago lowered the water table (from −2 to −5 m)
decoupling it from the surface ecosystem. Paired soil sampling and detailed soil conductivity transects revealed consistently
different salt distribution patterns between grasslands and plantations, with shallow salinity losses and deep salinity gains
accompanying tree establishment. Salts accumulated in the upper soil layers during pre-drainage times have remained in drained
grasslands but have been flushed away under tree plantations (65 and 83% loss of chloride and sodium, respectively, in the
0 to −0.5 m depth range) as a result of a five- to 25-fold increase in infiltration rates detected under plantations. At greater
depth, closer to the current water table level, the salt balance was reversed, with tree plantations gaining 2.5 kg sodium
chloride m−2 down to 6 m depth, resulting from groundwater uptake and salt exclusion by tree roots in the capillary fringe. Diurnal water
table fluctuations, detected in a plantation stand but not in the neighbouring grasslands, together with salt mass balances
suggest that trees consumed ∼380 mm groundwater per year, re-establishing the discharge regime and leading to higher salt
accumulation rates than those interrupted by regional drainage practices more than a century ago. The strong influences of
vegetation changes on water dynamics can have cascading consequences on salt accumulation and distribution, and a broad ecohydrological
perspective that explicitly considers vegetation–groundwater links is needed to anticipate and manage them. 相似文献

Effects of afforestation on water yield: a global synthesis with implications for policy 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Carbon sequestration programs, including afforestation and reforestation, are gaining attention globally and will alter many ecosystem processes, including water yield. Some previous analyses have addressed deforestation and water yield, while the effects of afforestation on water yield have been considered for some regions. However, to our knowledge no systematic global analysis of the effects of afforestation on water yield has been undertaken. To assess and predict these effects globally, we analyzed 26 catchment data sets with 504 observations, including annual runoff and low flow. We examined changes in the context of several variables, including original vegetation type, plantation species, plantation age, and mean annual precipitation (MAP). All of these variables should be useful for understanding and modeling the effects of afforestation on water yield. We found that annual runoff was reduced on average by 44% (±3%) and 31% (±2%) when grasslands and shrublands were afforested, respectively. Eucalypts had a larger impact than other tree species in afforested grasslands (P=0.002), reducing runoff (90) by 75% (±10%), compared with a 40% (±3%) average decrease with pines. Runoff losses increased significantly with plantation age for at least 20 years after planting, whether expressed as absolute changes (mm) or as a proportion of predicted runoff (%) (P<0.001). For grasslands, absolute reductions in annual runoff were greatest at wetter sites, but proportional reductions were significantly larger in drier sites (P<0.01 and P<0.001, respectively). Afforestation effects on low flow were similar to those on total annual flow, but proportional reductions were even larger for low flow (P<0.001). These results clearly demonstrate that reductions in runoff can be expected following afforestation of grasslands and shrublands and may be most severe in drier regions. Our results suggest that, in a region where natural runoff is less than 10% of MAP, afforestation should result in a complete loss of runoff; where natural runoff is 30% of precipitation, it will likely be cut by half or more when trees are planted. The possibility that afforestation could cause or intensify water shortages in many locations is a tradeoff that should be explicitly addressed in carbon sequestration programs. 相似文献

The accumulation of organic carbon in mineral soils by afforestation of abandoned farmland 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The afforestation of abandoned farmland significantly influences soil organic carbon (OC). However, the dynamics between OC inputs after afforestation and the original OC are not well understood. To learn more about soil OC dynamics after afforestation of farmland, we measured the soil OC content in paired forest and farmland plots in Shaanxi Province, China. The forest plots had been established on farmland 18, 24, 48, 100, and 200 yr previously. The natural (13)C abundance of soil organic matter was also analyzed to distinguish between crop- and forest-derived C in the afforested soils. We observed a nonlinear accumulation of total OC in the 0-80 cm depth of the mineral soil across time. Total soil OC accumulated more rapidly under forest stands aged 18 to 48 yr than under forest stands aged 100 or 200 yrs. The rate of OC accumulation was also greater in the 0-10 cm depth than in the 10-80 cm depth. Forest-derived OC in afforested soils also accumulated nonlinearly across time, with the greatest increase in the 0-20 cm depth. Forest-derived OC in afforest soils accounted for 52-86% of the total OC in the 0-10 cm depth, 36-61% of the total OC in the 10-20 cm depth, and 11-50% of the total OC in the 20-80 cm depth. Crop-derived OC concentrations in the 0-20 cm depth decreased slightly after afforestation, but there was no change in crop-derived OC concentrations in the 20-80 cm depth. The results of our study support the claim that afforestation of farmland can sequester atmospheric CO(2) by increasing soil OC stocks. Changes in the OC stocks of mineral soils after afforestation appear to be influenced mainly by the input of forest-derived C rather than by the loss of original OC. 相似文献

In the past decades, afforestation of grassland landscapes has gained importance both as an economic activity and a mechanism to mitigate anthropogenic carbon emissions. This study evaluates the effect of pine afforestation on grassland streams analyzing changes in two integrative ecological indicators: leaf litter breakdown and primary production. We compare those results with changes in structural attributes of benthic biota (primary producers and invertebrates). Six contiguous first-order streams were selected in the upper basin of the Ctalamochita river (Córdoba, Argentina): three reference streams draining grasslands and three streams draining Pinus elliottii afforestations. Two in situ experiments were performed to compare leaf litter breakdown and primary production between grassland and afforested streams. Additionally, invertebrate assemblages in leaf litter and riffles, and periphyton standing stock were sampled and assessed. Nine out of 26 structural indicators showed differences between stream types but indicators measuring changes at the basal level of the food web (i.e. detritus and primary producers) were less sensitive than those recording changes in consumers. Our attempt to measure direction and magnitude of changes on stream functioning following afforestation was halted by our simple implemented methodology (i.e. leaf pack method for leaf litter decay and biofilm accrual on natural stone substrates for primary production assessments); only 1 out of 4 indicators differed. We argue that the lack of strong differences in elemental measurements of primary production and needle decay between afforested and grassland streams resulted from compensating opposing forces controlling such processes, i.e. higher grazing vs. higher sunlight in grassland streams and higher shredding vs. lower microbial decomposition mediated by lower temperature in afforested streams. Attributes related to the invertebrate compartment showed the highest sensitivity to afforestation, emphasizing their value as biological indicators of stream ecological integrity. 相似文献

Retention of interconnected, remnant grassland linkages is proposed here to reduce the adverse effects of alien pine afforestation in Afromontane grasslands. Adult butterflies were sampled at 38 grassland sites, representing increasing levels of disturbance both within the afforested area and outside it. Butterfly species richness and abundance in the lesser disturbed grassland remnants within the afforested area were similar to those of the surrounding natural grasslands. In contrast, butterfly species richness, but not necessarily abundance, decreased significantly in the highly disturbed sites, both in the grassland linkages and outside. Although some highly disturbed sites were relatively rich in species, most were visited by geographically widespread and vagile species. In contrast, wide, relatively undisturbed grassland linkages, as well as grasslands outside, were important for localised, sedentary and local endemic butterfly species. Nectar plants, especially the alien Verbena bonariensis, were the most significant variable explaining local butterfly distribution. In addition, tall grasses, hills, topographical landmarks, thermoregulatory sites, shelter and water features were also vital for particular species. It did not matter how deep the grassland linkages were situated inside the afforested area, as long as they were made up of good habitat. Retention of wide, quality grassland linkages are a way forward to maximise biodiversity alongside agroforestry. 相似文献

Abstract The decline in interglacial importance of Casuarina over the late Quaternary across southeastern Australia is documented. Three previously proposed causes for the decline (change in fire regime, change to a wetter climate and competitive exclusion by eucalypts) are shown to be inadequate for explaining the majority of cases. Re-examination of the evidence shows the decline at most sites occurred synchronously with a rise in groundwater or soil salinization, or both. From a review of biological literature, it is established that Casuarina stricta, the main species considered to have been affected by the decline, is likely to be disadvantaged by high water tables and saline soils. A link is demonstrated between groundwater salinity and the nodulation status of Casuarina in Victoria. It is concluded that the late Quaternary Casuarina decline was caused by a combination of rising groundwater levels and soil salinization. Soil salinization and groundwater level must therefore be considered as major factors determining vegetation patterns in southeastern Australia through the Quaternary up to the present day. 相似文献

Despite the extensive literature on the effect of afforestation of former arable land on soil properties, we still do not
fully understand whether the changes proceed in the same direction and at the same rate or how long it takes to achieve a
state of soil equilibrium typical of a natural forest ecosystem. Therefore, as part of a comparative study of post-arable
sandy soils (Distric Arenosols) afforested with Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) with respect to arable soils and soils of continuous coniferous forests, a range and direction of the changes in some of
their physical and sorptive properties were determined. The studies were carried out in SE Poland, 51°30′–51°37′N, 22°20′–22°35′E.
Ten paired sites of the afforested soils (five with 14- to 17-year-old stands and five with 32- to 36-year-old stands) with
adjacent cultivated fields and five sites of continuous forests with present stands of ca. 150 years were selected. For the
physical properties, undisturbed soil cores were sampled from the upper part of each horizon while in the case of A horizon
of the afforested soils, from two layers: 0–5 cm and 10–15 cm. For the remaining analyses, soil was taken from the whole thickness
of the master horizons and in the case of A horizon of the afforested soils, from three layers: 0–5, 5–10 and 10–20 cm. The
following properties were analysed: texture, bulk density (BD), total porosity (TP), water content at potential of −0.098,
−9.81 and −49.03 kPa, hydrolytic acidity (Ha), base exchangeable cations: Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+, total exchangeable bases (TEB), cation exchange capacity (CEC) and base saturation (BS). Afforestation caused a decrease
in BD, an increase in TP and had no affect on water properties when compared with the cultivated soils. The changes referred
to the A horizon, particularly to its 0–5 cm layer, and were related to the stand age. The CEC gradually rose in the former
plough layer, beginning from the uppermost part, but during the first two decades its increase in the 0–5 cm layer was offset
by a decline in the deeper layers. No substantial increase in CEC, in the whole A horizon, was recorded until three to four
decades of afforestation. Afforestation also invoked an increase in Ha, a drop in TEB, particularly Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+, and reduction in BS. No differences between soils for all the studied properties for B and C horizons were observed. It
was noted that more than 30 years after afforestation, the TEB and BS as well as Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ content differed substantially, but in most cases not significantly, from their values in the cultivated soils and reached
a level more similar to the soils of continuous coniferous forests. With respect to the water properties, Ha and CEC of the
afforested soils still resembled arable soils, whereas regarding the TP and BD, they were somewhere in the middle. This implies
that to understand changes in the soil properties resulting from afforestation and to predict future trends, long-term research
is needed. 相似文献

We studied the effect of mountain grassland afforestation with conifer trees (Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies and Pinus cembra) on soil organic matter (SOM) cycling and carbon (C) isotopic composition in two contrasting climate areas using a regional approach. Seventeen paired sites (each containing at least 40 years prior afforested and grassland plots) were investigated in the mountains of Central Spain and Western Austria. Topsoil CO2 effluxes were monitored under standardized conditions for six months as a proxy for soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation. The bulk C and nitrogen (N) concentrations and their isotopic composition in the soil and in the plants were assessed. The soil C:N ratio was consistently greater after afforestation in both regions, which in Spain was caused by a significant decrease in N concentration. No consistent effect was found on mineralisation rates due to vegetation change. Afforestation produced a more consistent soil 13C enrichment in the Spanish than in the Austrian sites. Our work strongly suggests that increasing altitude in Mediterranean mountain grasslands alleviates water limitation, favouring both plant growth and SOM decomposition, and ultimately accelerating C cycling. In contrast, temperate grassland areas at high altitudes were associated with severe temperature limitations, which constrained SOM transformation processes. In spite of the impact of afforestation on soil biogeochemical processes, C concentrations were marginally affected. We therefore conclude that grassland conversion to coniferous forests does not enhanced C sequestration in the mineral soil, for at least 40 years after land-use change. 相似文献

Acacia auriculiformis Benth., Mimosaceae, has been introduced relatively recently as a plantation tree to the island of Unguja, Zanzibar. It has been reported to establish itself outside the plantations, but it is not known if the success of establishment depends on habitat quality. We investigated the occurrence of A. auriculiformis in 5-m-wide sample lines, which started from the edge of acacia plantations and reached farthermost the distance of 1 km. The results of 7.24 ha studied showed that: (1) A. auriculiformis occurred in most of the studied habitats in Unguja and appeared to be more abundant in deep soils than in shallow coral-derived soils. However, statistical analyses suggested that the species has little preference or avoidance towards any of the habitats, even though forests – the least disturbed habitats – seemed to have less acacias than other more disturbed habitats. (2) The number of acacias decreased rapidly with the distance from an acacia plantation, and most of the found acacias were still young, below three metres tall. Our results suggest that the invasion of A. auriculiformis is at its beginning in Unguja. If no preventive measures are taken, A. auriculiformis may have an increasing impact on local ecosystem in the future. 相似文献

Nest survival is an important part of breeding success in grassland ecosystems, and the location of nests can determine vulnerability to different predators. We conducted an experiment with artificial nests to evaluate jointly the predation rate on nests at different spatial scales (landscape, patch and tussock) and the relative abundance of potential nest predators (small mammals and birds) in a temperate grassland area. In November 2014 and 2016, we installed 288 artificial nests in Common Pampas Grass Cortaderia selloana grasslands in the southeastern Pampas region, Argentina. The nests were placed in two 10-ha plots in a continuous grassland patch (c. 900 ha) within a reserve and in two small grassland patches (1.5 and 1.8 ha) in an agricultural matrix (landscape-scale), at the patch edge and inside the patches (patch-scale), and at two heights within the tussock grass (tussock-scale). In 2016, we also conducted live trapping of small mammals and surveyed birds along strip transects at the sampling sites. Nests located in patches within an agricultural matrix and near the edge had greater relative survival than those set in the reserve and inside the patches, respectively. This might be explained by the lower relative abundance of small mammals that we found outside the reserve. Artificial nest survival values recorded at the landscape-scale contrasted with those previously observed for natural nests. Our results could be partly explained by differences in nest density between agro-patches and those within the reserve. Future studies could also evaluate the role of parental nest defence on nest survival. 相似文献

以科尔沁沙地东南缘沙质草地和不同年龄樟子松(Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica)人工林(15、24和30年生)为对象,研究草地造林对土壤pH,土壤C、N、P含量,无机N(铵态氮、硝态氮)含量,C、N矿化速率,微生物生物量C含量以及土壤酶(脲酶、转化酶和过氧化氢酶)活性的影响.结果表明:草地造林初期,林地土壤C、N、P含量逐渐降低,随着林龄增加而逐渐恢复;与草地相比,24年生樟子松人工林土壤C、N、P含量最低,分别下降29%、34%和33%,而30年生樟子松人工林土壤C和N含量与草地差异不显著.草地造林能够影响土壤无机N存在形式,使土壤铵态氮含量逐渐增加,硝态氮含量下降.草地造林对土壤潜在N矿化速率和硝化速率影响不显著,但能够改变土壤C矿化速率,不同林龄樟子松人工林土壤C矿化速率依次为:24年生>30年生>草地>15年生.草地造林初期,土壤微生物生物量C含量和土壤转化酶活性明显降低,随着林龄的增加又逐渐增加;草地造林对土壤脲酶活性影响不显著,而使土壤过氧化氢酶活性逐渐增加.科尔沁沙地草地造林能够显著改变土壤化学和生物学性状,且随着林龄的变化而有所差异. 相似文献
