压实对落叶松人工林夏季土壤呼吸日变化的影响

在东北林业大学校区实验林场,利用Li-8100土壤CO2通量全自动测量仪测定不同程度人为压实落叶松人工林夏季土壤CO2的日排放速率,并建立土壤呼吸日变化的回归模型.结果表明:不同人为压实处理落叶松人工林土壤呼吸速率存在极显著性差异.对照地夏季土壤呼吸日变化速率的最大值出现在15:30—17:30,最小值出现在03:30—05:30,均滞后于压实地.压实主道和压实支道土壤呼吸速率最大值分别出现在09:30—11:30和11:30,最小值出现在23:30至次日01:30和01:30—03:30.各处理土壤呼吸速率与地表温度、相对湿度和10cm土壤温度均存在极显著相关关系,但与5cm土壤湿度的相关性随压实程度的增加而趋于不显著;压实改变了土壤表层物理结构,使土壤表面CO2释放速率降低.     

模拟氮沉降对落叶松人工林土壤呼吸的影响

在东北林业大学帽儿山实验林场26年生落叶松人工林中,连续2年(2013~2014年)施加NH_4NO_3模拟氮沉降试验((对照(CK,0 g·m~(-2)·a~(-1)N)、低氮(N1,5 g·m~(-2)·a~(-1)N)、中氮(N2,10 g·m~(-2)·a~(-1)N)、高氮(N3,15 g·m~(-2)·a~(-1)N)),研究不同氮沉降水平对土壤呼吸的影响。结果表明:(1)2013年模拟氮沉降处理均促进年平均土壤呼吸速率(P0.05);(2)2014年中氮和高氮处理抑制年平均土壤呼吸和异养呼吸速率(P0.05),低氮处理促进年均土壤呼吸速率(P0.05),对异养呼吸速率影响不显著(P0.05);(3)土壤微生物生物量碳在低氮处理下显著提高(P0.05),在中氮和高氮处理下与对照间差异不显著(P0.05);(4)土壤呼吸速率与5和10 cm土壤温度呈指数正相关关系(P0.01),相比对照,各土层土壤呼吸温度敏感系数(Q_(10))均在低氮处理下增加,在中氮和高氮处理下则降低。不同水平的模拟氮沉降改变了土壤呼吸速率及其温度敏感性,表明短期内低水平氮沉降可加快土壤碳排放过程,相对较高水平氮沉降则减缓土壤碳排放过程。

施肥对落叶松和水曲柳人工林土壤呼吸的影响

 以落叶松（Larix gmelinii）和水曲柳（Fraxinus mandshurica）人工林为研究对象,采用动态气室法（LI-6400-09叶室连接到LI-6400便携式CO₂/H₂O分析系统）对两种林分的土壤呼吸速率进行了观测,探讨了细根生物量、根中氮含量与土壤呼吸速率的关系,以及施肥对细根生物量、根中氮含量和土壤呼吸速率的影响。结果表明：1）施肥导致落叶松和水曲柳林分的活细根生物量降低18.4％和27.4％, 死细根生物量分别降低了34.8％和127.4 ％;2）施肥使落叶松和水曲柳林地土壤呼吸速率与对照相比分别减少了34.9％和25.8％;3 ）施肥对根中氮含量没有显著影响;4）落叶松和水曲柳林地的土壤呼吸与土壤温度表现出相同的季节变化,两种林分的土壤呼吸速率与地下5和10 cm处的温度表现出明显的指数关系 ,其相关性R²=0.93～0.98。土壤呼吸温度系数Q₁₀的范围在2.45～3.29。 施肥处理对Q₁₀没有产生影响,施肥处理导致细根生物量减少可能是引起林地土壤呼吸速率下降的主要原因。     

间伐和改变凋落物输入对华北落叶松人工林土壤呼吸的影响

作为森林生态系统的第二大碳通量,土壤呼吸在全球碳循环和气候变化中发挥着重要作用。通过探究土壤呼吸对间伐和改变凋落物的响应规律以及响应之间的联系,能够为准确评价森林碳循环提供依据。针对不同强度(对照、轻度、中度、重度)间伐后的华北落叶松人工林,2016年5月至10月采用LI-8100土壤碳通量测量系统对其原状、凋落物去除、凋落物加倍的土壤呼吸进行观测。结果表明:土壤呼吸在生长季的8月份达到最高值,呈现出明显的季节动态。不同林分间伐处理下,中度间伐显著促进了土壤呼吸,使平均土壤呼吸速率升高了15.66%,轻度间伐和重度间伐对土壤呼吸的影响不显著;不同凋落物处理下,去除凋落物使平均土壤呼吸速率降低了40.16%,加倍凋落物使平均土壤呼吸速率升高了16.06%。中度间伐使土壤呼吸生长季通量增加了55.06 g C/m~2;去除凋落物使土壤呼吸生长季通量减少了153.48 g C/m~2,加倍凋落物使土壤呼吸生长季通量增加了79.87 g C/m~2。土壤呼吸速率与土壤温度呈显著指数相关,而与土壤湿度无显著相关。不同林分间伐处理下,土壤呼吸的温度敏感性指数(Q10)为2.36—3.46,轻度间伐下Q10值最高;凋落物去除和加倍均降低了土壤呼吸的温度敏感性。土壤温湿度对土壤呼吸存在着显著影响,能够解释土壤呼吸28.7%—62.3%的季节变化。研究结果表明间伐和凋落物处理对华北落叶松人工林土壤CO_2释放的影响表现出一定的交互作用,中度间伐和加倍凋落物的交互作用对土壤呼吸的促进作用显著大于单一因子。可见,间伐作业通过改变土壤微环境和凋落物量,对土壤呼吸以及森林生态系统碳循环产生着重要影响。

移栽自不同纬度的落叶松（Larix gmelinii Rupr.）林的春季土壤呼吸

以往的土壤呼吸(RS)研究大多集中于生长季,而对非生长季RS的认知甚少.常见于中高纬度地区的春季土壤冻融交替是影响陆地生态系统碳循环的关键事件,是RS年内变化格局的转折期.但是春季冻融交替期间RS的动态规律及其机理过程尚缺乏了解.研究以我国北方森林的优势类型--兴安落叶松(Larix gmelinii Rupr.)林为对象,在其自然分布区内,将地处4个纬度(处理)的8年生兴安落叶松林生态系统整体移至其分布区的南缘,以模拟气候暖化对RS及其组分的影响.在春季土壤冻融交替时期,采用红外气体分析法和根系排除法测定了移栽自不同纬度的落叶松林的RS和异养呼吸(RH)及其相关的环境因子.研究结果表明:RS与温度的耦联关系随土壤解冻进程而变化.在解冻初期和中期,RS的日进程与温度解耦联,但在土壤完全解冻后却强烈地依赖于土壤温度.从整个土壤解冻过程看,4个处理的RS和RH与土壤温度和含水量相关极显著(R2 = 0.569～0.743,P < 0.001).解冻的初期和中期的RS基本上来自RH组分,土壤根际呼吸(RR)到4月底才出现.RS和RH均受到实验处理、解冻时期及其交互作用的显著影响.RS和RH的平均值随着解冻的进程而增大,而且RS与RH之间的差异也随之增大.RS波动在0.50～3.30 μmolCO2 m-2s-1之间;而RH则波动在0.52～3.04 μmolCO2 m-2s-1之间.在相同气候条件下,4个处理RS有随着纬度的增加而增加的趋势,而且RS对土壤温度的响应程度也随纬度增加而增加.研究结果意味着土壤解冻期间来自纬度较高的兴安落叶松林的RS对气候变暖方案的响应可能更为强烈.

Influences of forest floor cleaning on the soil respiration and soil physical property of a larch plantation in Northeast China

Aimed to estimate how forest floor cleaning affected the carbon budget and soil physical feature, a 2-yr (2005–2006) measurement on soil respiration, soil bulk density, capillary porosity, soil temperature and soil volumetric moisture was carried out in a larch plantation. Firstly, forest floor cleaning evidently decreased soil respiration. Annual cumulative soil CO₂ efflux decreased from 44.2 μmol·m^?2 a^?1 to 22.4 μmol·m^?2 a^?1. Secondly, cleaning practice slightly increased soil temperature at the growing season, but reduced it at the dominant winter season. It also made soil moisture higher in summer, but lower in spring and autumn. Moreover, the cleaning practice induced more compact soil compared with the uncleaned control. Thirdly, forest floor cleaning of litters and understory shrubs could cause non-respiratory carbon loss of about 175.0 mol·m^?2. This loss decreased from 175.0 mol·m^?2 to 137.4 mol·m^?2 when soil respiratory carbon loss decreased. However, the alteration of soil physical characters in the cleaned plots should be carefully considered since this alteration was not favorable to the growth of larch plantation in a long run.     

Reduction of forest floor respiration by fertilization on both carbon dioxide-enriched and reference 17-year-old loblolly pine stands

Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂^e) increases soil respiration rates in forest, grassland, agricultural and wetland systems as a result of increased growth, root biomass and enhanced biological activity of soil microorganisms. Less is known about how forest floor fluxes respond to the combined effects of elevated CO₂ and nutrient amendments; until now no experiments have been in place with large forest trees to allow even preliminary investigations. We investigated changes in forest floor respiration (S_ff) in a Pinus taeda L. plantation fumigated with CO₂ by using free‐air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) technology and given nutrient amendments. The prototype FACE apparatus (FACEp; 707 m²) was constructed in 1993, 10 years after planting, on a moderate fertility site in Duke Forest, North Carolina, USA, enriching the stand to 55 Pa (CO₂^e). A nearby ambient CO₂ (CO₂^a) plot (117 m²) was designated at the inception of the study as a reference (Ref). Both FACEp and Ref plot were divided in half and urea fertilizer was applied to one half at an annual rate of 11.2 g N m^?2 in the spring of 1998, 1999 and 2000. Forest floor respiration was monitored continuously for 220 days – March through November 2000 – by using two Automated Carbon Efflux Systems. Thirty locations (491 cm² each) were sampled in both FACEp and Ref, about half in each fertility treatment. Forest floor respiration was strongly correlated with soil temperature at 5 cm. Rates of S_ff were greater in CO₂^e relative to CO₂^a (an enhancement of ～178 g C m^?2) during the measurement period. Application of fertilizer resulted in a statistically significant depression of respiration rates in both the CO₂^a and CO₂^e plots (a reduction of ～186 g C m^?2). The results suggest that closed canopy forests on moderate fertility sites cycle back to the atmosphere more assimilated carbon (C) than similar forests on sites of high fertility. We recognize the limitations of this non‐replicated study, but its clear results offer strong testable hypotheses for future research in this important area.

采用CI-310便携式光合作用系统及其附件,测定了广东省黑石顶自然保护区南亚热带森林演替系列中的马尾松林和松阔混交林林下土壤的呼吸速率。测定结果显示:在自然条件下,马尾松林土壤呼吸速率在1.650~4.0μmolCO2m-2s-1,松阔混交林土壤呼吸速率在1.70~3.950μmolCO2m-2s-1之间。林下土壤呼吸速率与温度和土壤空气相对湿度可用拟合,据此并结合当地气象资料推算出马尾松林和松阔混交林的年均土壤呼吸量分别为31.027、36.629 tCO2hm-2,后者高于前者。     

Effects of experimental drought on soil respiration and radiocarbon efflux from a temperate forest soil

Soil moisture affects microbial decay of SOM and rhizosphere respiration (RR) in temperate forest soils, but isolating the response of soil respiration (SR) to summer drought and subsequent wetting is difficult because moisture changes are often confounded with temperature variation. We distinguished between temperature and moisture effects by simulation of prolonged soil droughts in a mixed deciduous forest at the Harvard Forest, Massachusetts. Roofs constructed over triplicate 5 × 5 m² plots excluded throughfall water during the summers of 2001 (168 mm) and 2002 (344 mm), while adjacent control plots received ambient throughfall and the same natural temperature regime. In 2003, throughfall was not excluded to assess the response of SR under natural weather conditions after two prolonged summer droughts. Throughfall exclusion significantly decreased mean SR rate by 53 mg C m^?2 h^?1 over 84 days in 2001, and by 68 mg C m^?2 h^?1 over 126 days in 2002, representing 10–30% of annual SR in this forest and 35–75% of annual net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of C. The differences in SR were best explained by differences in gravimetric water content in the Oi horizon (r²=0.69) and the Oe/Oa horizon (r²=0.60). Volumetric water content of the A horizon was not significantly affected by throughfall exclusion. The radiocarbon signature of soil CO₂ efflux and of CO₂ respired during incubations of O horizon, A horizon and living roots allowed partitioning of SR into contributions from young C substrate (including RR) and from decomposition of older SOM. RR (root respiration and microbial respiration of young substrates in the rhizosphere) made up 43–71% of the total C respired in the control plots and 41–80% in the exclusion plots, and tended to increase with drought. An exception to this trend was an interesting increase in CO₂ efflux of radiocarbon‐rich substrates during a period of abundant growth of mushrooms. Our results suggest that prolonged summer droughts decrease primarily heterotrophic respiration in the O horizon, which could cause increases in the storage of soil organic carbon in this forest. However, the C stored during two summers of simulated drought was only partly released as increased respiration during the following summer of natural throughfall. We do not know if this soil C sink during drought is transient or long lasting. In any case, differential decomposition of the O horizon caused by interannual variation of precipitation probably contributes significantly to observed interannual variation of NEE in temperate forests.     

东北东部森林生态系统土壤呼吸组分的分离量化

对森林生态系统的土壤呼吸组分进行分离和量化,确定不同组分CO2释放速率的控制因子,是估测局域和区域森林生态系统碳平衡研究中必不可少的内容。采用挖壕法和红外气体分析法测定无根和有根样地的土壤表面CO2通量(RS),确定东北东部6种典型森林生态系统RS中异养呼吸(RH)和根系自养呼吸(RA)的贡献量及其影响因子。具体研究目标包括:(1)量化各种生态系统的RH及其与主要环境影响因子的关系;(2)量化各种生态系统RS中根系呼吸贡献率(RC)的季节动态;(3)比较6种森林生态系统RH和RA的年通量。土壤温度、土壤含水量及其交互作用显著地影响森林生态系统的RH(R2=0.465~0.788),但其影响程度因森林生态系统类型而异。硬阔叶林和落叶松人工林的RH主要受土壤温度控制,其他生态系统RH受土壤温度和含水量的联合影响。各个森林生态系统类型的RC变化范围依次为:硬阔叶林32.40%~51.44%;杨桦林39.72%~46.65%;杂木林17.94%~47.74%;蒙古栎林34.31%~37.36%;红松人工林33.78%~37.02%;落叶松人工林14.39%~35.75%。每个生态系统类型RH年通量都显著高于RA年通量,其变化范围分别为337~540 gC.m-2.a-1和88~331 gC.m-2.a-1。不同生态系统间的RH和RA也存在着显著性差异。     

Partitioning soil respiration of temperate forest ecosystems in northeastern China

Quantifying soil respiration components and their relations to environmental controls are essential to estimate both local and regional carbon (C) budgets of forest ecosystems. In this study, we used the trenching-plot and infrared gas exchange analyzer approaches to determine heterotrophic (R_H) and autotrophic respiration (R_A) in the soil surface CO₂ flux for six major temperate forest ecosystems in northeastern China. The ecosystems were: Mongolian oak forest (dominated by Quercus mongolica), aspen-birch forest (dominated by Populous davidiana and Betula platyphylla), mixed wood forest (composed of P. davidiana, B. platyphylla, Fraxinus mandshurica, Tilia amurensis, Acer amono, etc.), hardwood forest (dominated by F. mandshurica, Juglans mandshurica, and Phellodendron amurense), Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), and Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii) plantations, representing the typical secondary forest ecosystems in this region. Our specific objectives were to: (1) quantify R_H and its relationship with the environmental factors of the forest ecosystems, (2) characterize seasonal dynamics in the contribution of root respiration to total soil surface CO₂ flux (RC), and (3) compare annual CO₂ fluxes from R_H and R_A among the six forest ecosystems. Soil temperature, water content, and their interactions significantly affected R_H in the ecosystems and accounted for 46.5%–78.8% variations in R_H. However, the environmental controlling factors of R_H varied with ecosystem types: soil temperature in hardwood and Dahurian larch forest ecosystems, soil temperature, and water content in the others. The RC for hardwood, poplar-birch, mixed wood, Mongolian oak, Korean pine, and Dahurian larch forest ecosystems varied between 32.40%–51.44%, 39.72%–46.65%, 17.94%–47.74%, 34.31%–37.36%, 33.78%–37.02%, and 14.39%–35.75%, respectively. The annual CO₂ fluxes from R_H were significantly greater than those from R_A for all the ecosystems, ranging from 337–540 g Cm^-2a^-1 and 88‐331 gCm^-2a^-1 for R_H and R_A, respectively. The annual CO₂ fluxes from R_H and R_A differed significantly among the six forest ecosystems.     

Effect of clear-cutting silviculture on soil respiration in a subtropical forest of China

Aims Clear-cutting is a common forest management practice, especially in subtropical China. However, the potential ecological consequences of clear-cutting remain unclear. In particular, the effect of clear-cutting on soil processes, such as the carbon cycle, has not been quantified in subtropical forests. Here, we investigated the response of soil respiration (Rs) to clear-cutting during a 12-month period in a subtropical forest in eastern China.Methods We randomly selected four clear-cut (CC) plots and four corresponding undisturbed forest (UF) plots. Measurements of Rs were made at monthly time points and were combined with continuous climatic measurements in both CC and UF. Daily Rs was estimated by interpolating data with an exponential model dependent on soil temperature. Daily Rs was cumulated to annual Rs estimates.Important findings In the first year after clear-cutting, annual estimates of Rs in CC (508±23g C m ?2 yr^-1) showed no significant difference to UF plots (480±12g C m ?2 yr^-1). During the summer, soil temperatures were usually higher, whereas the soil volumetric water content was lower in CC than in UF plots. The long-term effects of clear-cutting on Rs are not significant, although there might be effects during the first several months after clear-cutting. Compared with previous work, this pattern was more pronounced in our subtropical forest than in the temperate and boreal forests that have been studied by others. With aboveground residuals off-site after clear-cutting, our results indicate that the stimulation of increasing root debris, as well as environmental changes, will not lead to a significant increase in Rs. In addition, long-term Rs will not show a significant decrease from the termination of root respiration, and this observation might be because of the influence of fast-growing vegetation after clear-cutting in situ .     

Seasonal changes in the contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration in a cool-temperate deciduous forest

A trenching method was used to determine the contribution of root respiration to soil respiration. Soil respiration rates in a trenched plot (R _trench) and in a control plot (R _control) were measured from May 2000 to September 2001 by using an open-flow gas exchange system with an infrared gas analyser. The decomposition rate of dead roots (R _D) was estimated by using a root-bag method to correct the soil respiration measured from the trenched plots for the additional decaying root biomass. The soil respiration rates in the control plot increased from May (240–320 mg CO₂ m^–2 h^–1) to August (840–1150 mg CO₂ m^–2 h^–1) and then decreased during autumn (200–650 mg CO₂ m^–2 h^–1). The soil respiration rates in the trenched plot showed a similar pattern of seasonal change, but the rates were lower than in the control plot except during the 2 months following the trenching. Root respiration rate (R _r) and heterotrophic respiration rate (R _h) were estimated from R _control, R _trench, and R _D. We estimated that the contribution of R _r to total soil respiration in the growing season ranged from 27 to 71%. There was a significant relationship between R _h and soil temperature, whereas R _r had no significant correlation with soil temperature. The results suggest that the factors controlling the seasonal change of respiration differ between the two components of soil respiration, R _r and R _h.
