水曲柳和落叶松人工林乔木层碳、氮储量及分配

采用树木解析和连续土芯法,估测了20年生水曲柳和落叶松人工林乔木层各部分生物量和生产量,以及两种林分各部分的碳、氮含量及储量.结果表明:水曲柳和落叶松乔木林生物量分别为6815.10和9295.95 g·m^-2;两树种树干生物量占总生物量的比例均最高,分别为57.32%和58.01%;细根生物量最低,分别为2.67%和1.80%.水曲柳和落叶松的年生产量分别为1618.16和2102.45 g·m^-2·a^-1,其中树干年生产量最高,分别占总生物量的39.34%和46.70%;细根的年生产量较低,分别占总生物量的12.06%和5.25%.水曲柳各器官碳含量低于落叶松,氮含量则高于落叶松;水曲柳林碳储量低于落叶松,而两树种氮储量差别不大.水曲柳分配到地上部分的生物量、生产量以及碳、氮比例均小于落叶松,反映了落叶松在构建地上部分相对于水曲柳的高效性;由于树种之间以及同一树种不同器官之间的碳、氮含量差别显著,精确估计森林碳、氮储量时应分树种和器官进行测定.     

模拟氮沉降对杉木幼苗细根的生理生态影响

细根对氮沉降的生理生态响应将显著影响森林生态系统的生产力和碳吸存。为了揭示氮沉降对杉木细根的生理生态影响,对一年生杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)幼苗进行了模拟氮沉降试验,并测定施氮1年后杉木幼苗细根生物量、细根形态学特征(比根长、比表面积)、元素化学计量学指标(C、N、P、C/N、C/P、N/P)、细根代谢特征(细根比呼吸速率、非结构性碳水化合物)。结果表明:(1)杉木细根生物量随氮添加水平的升高而显著降低,尤其是0—1 mm细根生物量;细根比根长和比表面积随氮添加水平升高而显著增大。(2)氮添加后杉木细根C含量、C/N、C/P显著降低,高氮添加导致1—2 mm细根N含量和N/P显著升高,而低氮添加导致1—2 mm细根P含量显著升高、N/P显著降低,而0—1 mm细根的N、P含量则保持相对稳定。(3)氮添加后杉木细根比呼吸速率无显著变化,细根可溶性糖含量随氮添加增加而显著增加,而淀粉含量和NSC显著降低。综合以上结果表明:氮添加后用于细根形态构建的碳分配减少,这可能会减少土壤中有机碳的保留,0—1 mm细根的形态更易发生变化,但是其内部N、P养分含量相对更稳定以维持生理活动,细根NSC对氮添加的响应表明施氮可能导致细根受光合产物的限制。

闽楠人工林细根寿命及其影响因素

采用微根管技术对闽楠(Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) Yang)人工林细根生长动态进行了连续2a的观测,通过Kaplan-Meier方法估计细根寿命,使用对数秩检验(Log-rank test)比较单一因素(细根直径、序级、出生季节和土层)对细根寿命的影响;并分析细根化学性质对细根寿命的影响.结果表明:出生季节极显著影响闽楠细根寿命(P＜0.01),细根主要在春季出生(82.36％),夏季出生的细根平均寿命和中值寿命皆最长,分别为(218±23)d和(175±65)d;土层对闽楠细根寿命的影响不显著(P＞0.05),下层(20-40 cm)细根平均寿命为(126±4)d高于表层(0-20cm)的(116±5)d;细根平均寿命随直径增大而极显著增大(P＜0.01),0-0.3 mm的细根平均寿命为(109±4)d,0.3-0.6 mm的为(123±5)d,0.6-1 mm的为(139±11)d,1-2 mm的为(185±25)d.随着径级增大,闽楠细根碳含量极显著增大(P＜0.01),氮含量极显著减小(P＜0.01),碳氮比极显著增大(P＜0.01),磷含量极显著减小(P＜0.01).细根平均寿命随序级增大亦显著增大(P＜0.05),其中一级根平均寿命和中值寿命分别为(120±4)d和(89±1)d,高级根的则为(137±7)d和(123±1)d.以上结果表明闽楠细根寿命受到细根形态结构(直径和序级)、出生季节以及细根化学性质的影响.     

杨树幼苗非结构性碳水化合物对增加降水和氮添加的响应

设置3个水分梯度,即自然降水(W₁)、自然降水增加50%(W₂)和增加100%(W₃)以及4个施氮梯度,即模拟氮沉降添加0(N₁)、5(N₂)、10(N₃)和15(N₄) g N·m^-2·a^-1,研究增加降水和氮添加对杨树幼苗非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)的影响.结果表明: 增加降水和氮添加对杨树幼苗NSC含量具有显著的交互作用.随着降水的增加,N₁水平叶片和枝条可溶性糖含量不变,叶片、枝条、主干、粗根和细根淀粉含量下降;N₂和N₃水平各器官可溶性糖含量下降或保持不变,淀粉含量降低或先升高后降低;N₄水平各器官可溶性糖和淀粉含量升高或先降低后升高.随着氮沉降的增加,W₁处理叶片可溶性糖含量不变,淀粉含量增加,细根可溶性糖含量增加,淀粉含量不变;W₂处理各器官可溶性糖含量不变或先增加后减少,淀粉含量降低或先增加后降低;W₃处理各器官可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC含量均增加.各水分和施氮梯度处理下,杨树幼苗可溶性糖含量为39.1～88.3 mg·g^-1,叶片中最高,细根中最低,淀粉含量为23.3～46.8 mg·g^-1,粗根中最高,细根中最低.     

亚热带幼林树木功能性状与叶片氮磷重吸收率的关系

本研究以亚热带29种3年生人工纯林为对象,研究了29个树种功能性状与氮磷重吸收效率的关系。结果表明: 29种幼林平均氮、磷重吸收效率分别为50.5%和57.3%。22种丛枝菌根树种的氮重吸收效率平均为52.7%,显著高于7种外生菌根树种(45.1%)。29个树种的细根组织密度与氮重吸收效率呈显著正相关,7种外生菌根树种细根直径与磷重吸收效率呈显著正相关,22种丛枝菌根树种的功能性状对氮重吸收效率和磷重吸收效率无显著影响。在29个树种中,菌根类型、比叶面积、细根组织密度、叶厚度及叶厚度与菌根类型的相互作用共同解释氮重吸收效率变异的27%,比根长、细根碳含量、细根碳氮比、菌根类型、叶片碳含量及叶片碳含量与菌根类型的相互作用共同解释磷重吸收效率变异的35%。因此,亚热带树种根系功能性状能较好地预测了氮、磷养分重吸收效率,综合多个功能性状可以更好地揭示不同生物因子对养分重吸收的相对重要性。     

阔叶和杉木人工林对土壤碳氮库的影响比较

通过比较我国亚热带地区19年生阔叶人工林和杉木人工林土壤碳氮储量,探讨树种对土壤碳氮库的影响.结果表明：阔叶人工林0～40 cm土层碳储量平均为99.41 Mg·hm^-2,比杉木人工林增加33.1%;土壤氮储量为6.18 Mg·hm^-2,比杉木人工林增加22.6%.阔叶人工林林地枯枝落叶层现存量、碳和氮储量分别是杉木人工林的1.60、1.49和1.52倍,两个树种的枯落叶生物量、碳和氮储量均有显著差异.枯枝落叶层碳氮比值与土壤碳、氮储量之间呈显著负相关.阔叶人工林细根生物量(0～80 cm)是杉木林的1.28倍,其中0～10 cm土壤层细根生物量占48.2%;阔叶人工林细根碳、氮储量均高于杉木人工林.在0～10 cm土层,细根碳储量与土壤碳储量具有显著正相关关系.阔叶树种比杉木的土壤有机碳储存能力更大.     

侵蚀退化地植被恢复过程中芒萁对土壤可溶性有机碳的影响

林下植被是生态系统的重要组分。通过对比分析红壤侵蚀区植被恢复过程中,林下有无芒萁覆盖地的土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC,Dissolved Organic Carbon)含量及其与地下根系生物量、地上植被淋溶液DOC含量的关系。结果表明:林下植被芒萁覆盖增加了地上叶片和地下根系生物量,土壤DOC含量及储量也显著增加(P0.05),芒萁覆盖对表层土壤(0—20cm)DOC的影响大于深层土壤(20—100cm)(P0.05);相关分析结果表明,林下芒萁覆盖地土壤DOC储量与细根生物量的垂直变化呈显著的正相关关系(P0.05),且随植被恢复年限的增加相关性显著增加,地下根系的垂直分布直接影响各土层DOC储量。不同植被恢复时期,林下芒萁覆盖地土壤DOC与鲜叶(马尾松+芒萁)和枯落物(马尾松+芒萁)淋溶液DOC均呈显著的正相关关系(P0.01),而林下裸露地土壤DOC仅与鲜叶(马尾松)淋溶液DOC呈显著的相关性(P0.01),林下芒萁覆盖地相对于裸露地枯落物淋溶液对土壤DOC储量的影响大于鲜叶。植被恢复过程中芒萁覆盖地土壤微生物生物量碳和微生物熵显著高于林下裸露地。因此,在植被恢复进程中,芒萁能够提供更多底物参与土壤物质与养分循环,对土壤DOC的贡献较大,为侵蚀区马尾松林恢复提供了重要的养分再吸收来源;同时芒萁覆盖增加了微生物活性,促进了微生物对土壤DOC的同化作用,提高了微生物碳源的利用率,对土壤有机碳的积累起着重要的作用。     

湖南会同5个亚热带树种的细根构型及功能特征分析

细根(直径2mm)具有复杂的分枝系统,不同树种间的细根在空间分布、形态和大小上有较大差异,研究不同树种的细根构型及不同根序的养分特征,对认识不同树种的细根形态和化学成分的变异格局,及其对树种地下生态位分离(niche segregation)、共存和森林生态系统功能过程的影响有着重要意义。在湖南会同林区选择青冈(Cyclobalanopsis glauca)、枫香(Liquidanbar formosana)、拟赤杨(Alniphyllum fortunei)、杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)、马尾松(Pinus massoniana)等5个亚热带树种,用挖掘法采集完整的细根根系,按照Pregitzer细根分级方法对细根分级,用Win-RHIZO根系测定系统对细根构型的参数进行测定,同时测定各级根系的C、N含量,以探讨各树种各级细根的功能特征,揭示不同树种细根构型与养分策略之间的关系。结果表明:5个亚热带树种细根1级根比根长、比表面积最高,直径最细;3级根比根长、比表面积最低,直径最粗。不同树种之间细根形态特征和构型也表现出差异性:枫香的1级根序比根长最大,为31.45m·g-1,杉木的最小,为16.34m·g-1,枫香和杉木之间差异显著。马尾松的1、2级根序的比表面积最大,杉木的1级根序的比表面积最小,青冈2级根序的比表面积最小,3级根序比表面积杉木最大,青冈最小。不同树种之间的细根直径差异达到极显著水平,各根序的平均直径以杉木的最大,拟赤杨的最小。5个树种细根根尖密度大小顺序为马尾松青冈枫香杉木拟赤杨,各树种细根分叉数以拟赤杨和马尾松的较高,杉木最低。除杉木和枫香外,5个树种细根C含量均呈现出随着根序上升而增加的趋势,C/N比也随根序的上升而增加,而细根N含量呈现出随着根序上升而明显下降的趋势。细根平均C含量以杉木的最高,拟赤杨的最低,马尾松、青冈与枫香之间的差异不显著。细根平均N含量以拟赤杨的最高,马尾松的最低。C/N比以马尾松的最高,拟赤杨的最低。5个树种中,马尾松的外生菌根有很强的拓展能力,因此能显著地增强植物根系的养分、水分吸收能力,即使在贫瘠和干旱的土壤环境中,也能有效地利用有限的养分和水分,促进个体生长。而杉木细根吸收养分和水分的效率及能力最小。     

氮素添加和CO2浓度升高对白羊草根际和非根际土壤水溶性有机碳、氮的影响

采用盆栽控制试验对黄土丘陵区白羊草在不同CO₂浓度(400和800 μmol·mol^-1)和施氮水平(0、2.5、5.0 g N·m^-2·a^-1)条件下根际和非根际土壤水溶性有机碳(DOC)和水溶性有机氮(DON)的变化特征进行研究.结果表明: CO₂浓度升高对白羊草根际和非根际土壤DOC、水溶性总氮(DTN)、DON、水溶性铵态氮(NH₄⁺-N)、水溶性硝态氮(NO₃^--N)含量均无显著影响.施氮显著提高了根际和非根际土壤DTN、NO₃^--N含量和根际土壤DON含量,显著降低了根际土壤DOC/DON.在各处理条件下,根际土壤DTN、NO₃^--N和DON含量均显著低于非根际土壤,根际土壤DOC/DON显著高于非根际土壤.短期CO₂浓度升高对黄土丘陵区土壤水溶性有机碳、氮含量无显著影响,而氮沉降的增加在一定程度上改善了土壤中水溶性氮素缺乏的状况,但并不足以满足植被对水溶性氮素的需求.     

中亚热带杉木人工林细根生物量空间变异与取样数量估算

林木细根生物量具有一定的空间异质性,因此采用合理的细根取样策略对精确估算细根生物量十分重要。通过在福建省三明杉木人工林林内采用土钻法随机选取100个取样点,分析不同细根类型(杉木、林下植被、总细根)生物量的空间变异特征,并对细根生物量所需的取样数量进行估计。结果表明:不同细根类型单位面积生物量随径级(0—1、1—2 mm)及土层深度的增加变异增大,所需的取样数量也相应增加。Shapiro-Wilk检验表明,仅0—2 mm杉木细根和总细根单位面积生物量符合正态分布,其余各个细根类型不同径级不同土层单位面积生物量均不符合正态分布,均呈明显的右偏分布。蒙特卡罗统计模拟分析表明:在置信水平为95%、精度为80%的条件下,直径为0—1 mm、1—2 mm和0—2 mm的细根,杉木采集95、96、32个样品可以满足测定单位面积生物量的需要,林下植被分别采集98、98、63个样品可以满足测定单位面积生物量的需要,而总细根分别采集93、93、18个样品可以满足测定单位面积生物量的需要。     

Leaf litter decomposition in a tropical peat swamp forest in Peninsular Malaysia

It has long been assumed that the peat underlying tropical peat swamp forests accumulates because the extreme conditions (water logged, nutrient poor, anaerobic and acidic—pH 2.9–3.5) impede microbial activity. Litterbag studies in a tropical Malaysian peat swamp (North Selangor peat swamp forest) showed that although the sclerophyllous, toxic leaves of endemic peat forest plants (Macaranga pruinosa, Campnosperma coriaceum, Pandanus atrocarpus, Stenochlaena palustris) were barely decomposed by bacteria and fungi (decay rates of only 0.0006–0.0016 k day⁻¹), leaves of M. tanarius, a secondary forest species were almost completely decomposed (decay rates of 0.0047–0.005 k day⁻¹) after 1 year. Thus it is intrinsic properties of the leaves (that are adaptations to deter herbivory in the nutrient poor environment) that impede microbial breakdown. The water of the peat swamp was very high in dissolved organic carbon (70–84 mg l⁻¹ DOC). Laboratory studies revealed initial rapid leaching of DOC from leaves (up to 1,720 mg l⁻¹ from 4 g of leaves in 7 days), but the DOC levels then fell rapidly. The leaching of DOC resulted in weight loss but the physical structure of the leaves remained intact. It is suggested that the DOC is used as a substrate for microbial growth hence lowering the concentration of DOC in the water and transferring energy from the leaves to other trophic levels. This would explain how nutrient poor tropical peatswamps support diverse, abundant flora and fauna despite low nutrient levels and lack of rapid litter cycling such as occurs in other types of tropical rainforests.     

紫茎泽兰对四环素的吸收特性

[目的] 探究四环素在水和紫茎泽兰间的传递以及在紫茎泽兰体内的累积特征。[方法] 利用高效液相色谱检测紫茎泽兰幼苗在水培过程中对四环素的吸收及其在根茎叶中的积累。[结果] 在10~20 mg·L^-1四环素的处理浓度范围内,紫茎泽兰根、茎、叶均能吸收并积累四环素,且吸收累积量均随处理浓度和处理时间的增加而升高。当紫茎泽兰在20 mg·L^-1四环素的水培液处理20 d时,茎中的四环素累积量最高,为（59.34±3.86）mg·kg^-1;根中的次之,为（52.52±5.89）mg·kg^-1;而叶中的最低,为（23.19±4.17）mg·kg^-1。此外,紫茎泽兰茎的四环素富集系数最大,根的次之,叶的最小。[结论] 紫茎泽兰能够较好地从水培液中吸收并累积四环素,具有吸收净化四环素污染水源的潜力。     

川中丘陵区3个树种的细根形态和功能异质性分析

以川中丘陵区柏木低效林林窗改造初期种植的银木和香椿细根为研究对象,以未改造的柏木纯林为对照,采用LI-8100土壤碳通量测量系统测定银木、香椿和柏木1~5级细根的原位呼吸速率,并探讨细根形态结构和养分元素浓度与细根呼吸的相关关系,以揭示细根结构与功能异质性。结果表明:银木、香椿和柏木细根的直径、根长、组织碳浓度均随着根序级别的增加而增加,而它们细根的比根长、组织氮浓度和比根呼吸速率均随着根序的增加而降低,树种、根序级及其交互作用对3个树种细根形态、养分浓度和比根呼吸均有显著或极显著影响。回归分析显示,3个树种比根呼吸速率均随细根直径、比根长、N浓度变化呈现出系统性的变化,三者分别能解释64.7%、87.6%和、67.6%的比根呼吸变异。可见,细根在形态和功能上存在明显的异质性,且细根的形态特征、组织化学含量和生理功能之间存在着紧密的联系,为理解植物根系结构与功能变异提供了依据。     

南京老山秤锤树空间分布格局及种间关联性

以南京老山1 hm 2样地秤锤树(Sinojackia xylocarpa)天然种群为研究对象,运用成对g(r)函数,选择完全随机模型、异质泊松模型与先决条件零模型,分析秤锤树种群结构和空间分布格局及其空间关联性,从空间格局角度来深入认识其种群结构和分布格局及形成该格局可能存在的机制并提出保护建议。结果表明:(1)秤锤树天然种群中小径个体数量占优,属于增长型种群。(2)种内空间分布研究中,基于完全随机模型分析,秤锤树种群在尺度0~26 m时为聚集分布,尺度29~30 m时为均匀分布;基于异质泊松模型分析,秤锤树种群在0~23 m时为聚集分布,尺度27~30 m时为均匀分布。秤锤树空间分布表现为由聚集分布向均匀分布变化。(3)主要种间关联性研究中,秤锤树与朴树(Celtis sinensis)的种间关联性表现为小尺度下负关联,随着空间尺度的增加变为正关联。秤锤树与黄连木(Pistacia chinensis)和秤锤树与三角槭(Acer buergerianum)的种间关联性大致相同,基本为大尺度下正关联,偶尔出现负关联和无关联。上述结果表明,秤锤树种群更新状况良好,种群空间分布以聚集分布为主,其主要受种间竞争、扩散限制与密度制约的影响。基于种群现状开展就地保护与适当干扰其生存群落,是濒危物种秤锤树的科学有效的保护措施。     

Potential effects of leaf litter on water quality in urban watersheds

Leaf litter plays a critical role in regulating ecological functions in headwater forest streams, whereas the effects of leaves on water quality in urbanized streams are not fully understood. This study examined the potential importance of leaf litter for the release and transformations of organic carbon and nutrients in urban streams, and compared the effects with other types of natural organic substrates (periphyton and stream sediment). Nutrients and organic carbon were leached from senescent leaves of 6 tree species in the laboratory with deionized water, and maximal releases, leaching rate constants, composition and bioavailability of the leached dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were determined. Stream substrates (leaf debris, rocks with periphyton, and sediment) were seasonally collected from urban and forest reference streams of the NSF Baltimore Long-term Ecological Research Site and incubated with overlying stream water to estimate areal fluxes of DOC and nitrogen. Leaf litter leaching showed large ranges in maximal releases of DOC (7.0–131 mg g^?1), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON; 0.07–1.39 mg g^?1) and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP; 0.14–0.70 mg g^?1) among tree species. DOC leaching rate constants, carbon to nitrogen ratios, and DOC bioavailability were all correlated with organic matter quality indicated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Results from substrate incubation experiments showed far higher DOC and DON release and nitrate retention with leaf debris than with sediment, or rocks with periphyton. DOC release from leaf debris was positively correlated with stream nitrate retention at residential and urban sites, with the highest values observed during the fall and lowest during the summer. This study suggests the potential importance of leaf litter quantity and quality on fostering DOC and nutrient release and transformations in urban streams. It also suggests that species-specific impacts of leaves should be considered in riparian buffer and stream restoration strategies.     

Concentrations and fluxes of dissolved organic carbon in an age-sequence of white pine forests in Southern Ontario,Canada

We determined concentrations and fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in precipitation, throughfall, forest floor and mineral soil leachates from June 2004 to May 2006 across an age-sequence (2-, 15-, 30-, and 65-year-old) of white pine (Pinus strobus L.) forests in southern Ontario, Canada. Mean DOC concentration in precipitation, throughfall, leachates of forest floor, Ah-horizon, and of mineral soil at 1 m depth ranged from ∼2 to 7, 9 to 18, 32 to 88, 20 to 66, and 2 to 3 mg DOC L⁻¹, respectively, for all four stands from April (after snowmelt) through December. DOC concentration in forest floor leachates was highest in early summer and positively correlated to stand age, aboveground biomass and forest floor carbon pools. DOC fluxes via precipitation, throughfall, and leaching through forest floor and Ah-horizon between were in the range of ∼1 to 2, 2 to 4, 0.5 to 3.5, and 0.1 to 2 g DOC m⁻², respectively. DOC export from the forest ecosystem during that period through infiltration and groundwater discharge was estimated as ∼7, 4, 3, and 2 g DOC m⁻² for the 2-, 15-, 30-, and 65-year-old sites, respectively, indicating a decrease with increasing stand age. Laboratory DOC sorption studies showed that the null-point DOC concentration fell from values of 15 to 60 mg DOC L⁻¹ at 0 to 5 cm to <15 mg DOC L⁻¹ at 50 cm. Specific ultraviolet light absorption at 254 nm (SUVA₂₅₄) increased from precipitation and throughfall to a maximum in forest floor and decreased with mineral soil depth. No age-related pattern was observed for SUVA₂₅₄ values. DOC concentration in forest floor soil solutions showed a positive exponential relationship with soil temperature, and a negative exponential relationship with soil moisture at all four sites. Understanding the changes and controls of DOC concentrations, chemistry, and fluxes at various stages of forest stand development is necessary to estimate and predict DOC dynamics on a regional landscape level and to evaluate the effect of land-use change.     

华南阔叶树种幼苗叶片的养分特征

研究了阔叶树种幼苗山杜英、红锥、海南红豆、火力楠、红花油茶、枫香、黎蒴、米老排和樟树的N、P、K浓度和单位叶面积含量。结果表明,海南红豆、黎蒴和樟树的N、P、K浓度较高,而红花油茶、黎蒴和樟树的单位叶面积N、P、K含量较高,9种树种的上部和下部叶片的平均养分浓度分别为N16．67和17．09g·kg^-1,P1．29和0．84g·kg^-1,K11．77和6．65g·kg^-1,平均养分含量分别为N0．871和1．069g·m^-2,P0．065和0．052g·m^-2,K0．608和0．426g·m^-2,各树种上部叶片的P和K浓度和含量大于下部叶片,从养分含量的角度考虑,红花油茶与其他8种树种混交,红锥或米老排与山杜英、枫香、海南红豆、黎蒴、樟树混交,火力楠与黎蒴、樟树混交是合理的。     

Fine root vertical distribution and temporal dynamics in mature stands of two enset (Enset ventricosum Welw Cheesman) clones

Quantification of the role of fine roots in the biological cycle of nutrients necessitates understanding root distribution, estimating root biomass, turnover rate and nutrient concentrations, and the dynamics of these parameters in perennial systems. Temporal dynamics, vertical distribution, annual production and turnover, and nitrogen use of fine roots (≤2 mm in diameter) were studied in mature (5-year-old) stands of two enset (Ensete ventricosum) clones using the in-growth bag technique. Live fine root mass generally decreased with increasing depth across all seasons except the dry period. Except for the dry period, more than 70% of the fine root mass was in the above 0-20 cm depth, and the fine root mass in the upper 0–10 cm depth was significantly higher than in the lowest depth (20–30 cm). Live fine root mass showed a seasonal peak at the end of the major rainy season but fell to its lowest value during the dry or short rainy season. The difference between the peak and low periods were significant (p ≤ 0.05). Fine root nitrogen (N) use showed significant seasonal variation where the mean monthly fine root N use was highest during the major rainy season. There were significant effects on N use due to depths and in-growth periods, but not due to clones. Enset fine root production and turnover ranged from 2,339 to 2,451 kg ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ and from 1.55 to 1.80 year⁻¹, respectively. Root N return, calculated from fine root turnover, was estimated at 64–65 kg ha⁻¹ year⁻¹. Fine root production, vertical distribution and temporal dynamics may be related to moisture variations and nutrient (N) fluxes among seasons and along the soil depth. The study showed that fine root production and turnover can contribute considerably to the carbon and nitrogen economy of mature enset plots.
