稻田免耕和稻草还田对土壤腐殖质和微生物活性的影响

为了阐明免耕和稻草还田土壤固碳机制,研究了无稻草还田免耕（NT）、无稻草还田常耕（CT）、稻草还田免耕（NTS）和稻草还田常耕（CTS）对水稻不同生育期不同土层（0—5,5—12,12—20cm）土壤腐殖质形态、含量及微生物活性的影响。结果表明,免耕（NT和NTS）处理显著增加0—5 cm土层土壤游离松结态、联结态和稳紧结态腐殖质含量和游离松结态腐殖质占总腐殖质的比例,且免耕对土壤各结合态腐殖质含量的影响程度有随生育期的推后而增加的趋势;5—12cm和12—20cm土层土壤各结合态腐殖质含量和0—20cm各土层微生物活性有减少趋势;在水稻分蘖期免耕对微生物活性影响很弱,在水稻拔节—灌浆期免耕处理显著降低5—12 cm土层土壤微生物活性,相反,免耕却增加水稻成熟期0—5 cm土层的微生物活性;另一方面,稻草还田（CTS和NTS）显著提高土壤各结合态腐殖质含量,尤其是0—5 cm土层、游离松结态腐殖质及水稻生育后期;CTS处理显著增加分蘖期—孕穗期0—20 cm土层的呼吸强度,而稻草还田显著增加孕穗期—成熟期0—5cm土层的纤维素分解强度。可见,通过增加土壤腐殖质含量和各结合态腐殖质含量并改变微生物活性免耕有利于表土层碳的固定作用,而免耕与稻草还田相结合更有利于土壤碳的积累。     

长白山阔叶红松林和杨桦次生林土壤有机碳氮的协同积累特征

次生演替是森林土壤有机碳、氮库变化的重要驱动因素.本研究以长白山原始阔叶红松林和杨桦次生林为例,通过成对样地途径,研究了森林土壤有机碳、氮的数量分布及其协同积累特征,探讨了次生演替导致的温带森林土壤碳库和碳汇效应变化及其碳氮耦合机制.结果表明: 杨桦次生林比原始阔叶红松林在土壤表层和亚表层(0～20 cm)积累了更多的有机碳和氮,其土壤C/N值也显著低于阔叶红松林;相对于阔叶红松林,杨桦次生林土壤(0～20 cm)有机碳储量平均增加了14.7 t·hm^-2,相当于29.4 g·m^-2·a^-1的土壤碳汇增益.土壤有机碳和全氮在不同林型的不同土层中均表现为极显著正相关,二者具有明显的协同积累特征.与阔叶红松林生态系统相比,相对富氮的杨桦次生林生态系统的上部土层中氮对有机碳的决定系数明显高于阔叶红松林,说明杨桦次生林土壤有机碳的积累在更大程度上依赖含氮有机质积累.在有机质最丰富的表层(0～10 cm),两种林型间轻组有机碳、氮储量无显著差异,但杨桦次生林重组有机碳、氮的含量、储量及分配比例均显著高于阔叶红松林,其中,重组有机碳储量平均增加了8.5 t·hm^-2,表明次生演替过程中土壤有机碳、氮库的增加主要在于矿物质结合态稳定性土壤有机碳、氮库的增容.凋落物分解和稳定性土壤有机质形成中的碳氮耦合机制是次生演替过程中土壤有机碳、氮库变化的重要驱动机制.     

Contribution of Old Growth Forests to the Carbon Budget of the Boreal Zone in Central Siberia

Old growth (mature and overmature) forests of Central Siberia accumulate carbon not only in the biomass but also in the phytodetritus, including in coarse woody debris (CWD), due to the slow seasonally depressed decomposition of organic matter. Slowly decomposing and accumulating on the soil surface stock of CWD, as a soil humus, serves as a long-term carbon pool in boreal forest ecosystems.     

Carbon dynamics in successional and afforested spruce stands in Thuringia and the Alps

Changes in the carbon stocks of stem biomass, organic layers and the upper 50 cm of the mineral soil during succession and afforestation of spruce (Picea abies) on former grassland were examined along six chronosequences in Thuringia and the Alps. Three chronosequences were established on calcareous and three on acidic bedrocks. Stand elevation and mean annual precipitation of the chronosequences were different. Maximum stand age was 93 years on acid and 112 years on calcareous bedrocks. Stem biomass increased with stand age and reached values of 250–400 t C ha^?1 in the oldest successional stands. On acidic bedrocks, the organic layers accumulated linearly during forest succession at a rate of 0.34 t C ha^?1 yr^?1. On calcareous bedrocks, a maximum carbon stock in the humus layers was reached at an age of 60 years. Total carbon stocks in stem biomass, organic layers and the mineral soil increased during forest development from 75 t C ha^?1 in the meadows to 350 t C ha^?1 in the oldest successional forest stands (2.75 t C ha^?1 yr^?1). Carbon sequestration occurred in stem biomass and in the organic layers (0.34 t C ha^?1 yr^?1on acid bedrock), while mineral soil carbon stocks declined. Mineral soil carbon stocks were larger in areas with higher precipitation. During forest succession, mineral soil carbon stocks of the upper 50 cm decreased until they reached approximately 80% of the meadow level and increased slightly thereafter. Carbon dynamics in soil layers were examined by a process model. Results showed that sustained input of meadow fine roots is the factor, which most likely reduces carbon losses in the upper 10 cm. Carbon losses in 10–20 cm depth were lower on acidic than on calcareous bedrocks. In this depth, continuous dissolved organic carbon inputs and low soil respiration rates could promote carbon sequestration following initial carbon loss. At least 80 years are necessary to regain former stock levels in the mineral soil. Despite the comparatively larger amount of carbon stored in the regrowing vegetation, afforestation projects under the Kyoto protocol should also aim at the preservation or increase of carbon in the mineral soil regarding its greater stability of compared with stocks in biomass and humus layers. If grassland afforestation is planned, suitable management options and a sufficient rotation length should be chosen to achieve these objectives. Maintenance of grass cover reduces the initial loss.     

Effects of Pinus sylvestris root growth and mycorrhizosphere development on bacterial carbon source utilization and hydrocarbon oxidation in forest and petroleum-contaminated soils

The hypothesis that Pinus sylvestris L. root and mycorrhizosphere development positively influences bacterial community-linked carbon source utilization, and drives a concomitant reduction in mineral oil levels in a petroleum hydrocarbon- (PHC-) contaminated soil was confirmed in a forest ecosystem-based phytoremediation simulation. Seedlings were grown for 9 months in large petri dish microcosms containing either forest humus or humus amended with cores of PHC-contaminated soil. Except for increased root biomass in the humus/PHC treatment, there were no other significant treatment-related differences in plant growth and needle C and N status. Total cell and culturable bacterial (CFU) densities significantly increased in both rhizospheres and mycorrhizospheres that actively developed in the humus and PHC-contaminated soil. Mycorrhizospheres (mycorrhizas and extramatrical mycelium) supported the highest numbers of bacteria. Multivariate analyses of bacterial community carbon source utilization profiles (Biolog GN microplate) from different rhizosphere, mycorrhizosphere, and bulk soil compartments, involving principal component and correspondence analysis, highlighted three main niche-related groupings. The respective clusters identified contained bacterial communities from (i) unplanted bulk soils, (ii) planted bulk PHC and rhizospheres in PHC-contaminated soils, and (iii) planted bulk humus and rhizosphere/mycorrhizosphere-influenced humus, and mycorrhizosphere-influenced PHC contaminated soil. Correspondence analysis allowed further identification of amino acid preferences and increased carboxylic/organic acid preferences in rhizosphere and mycorrhizosphere compartments. Decreased levels of mineral oil (non-polar hydrocarbons) were detected in the PHC-contaminated soil colonized by pine roots and mycorrhizal fungi. These data further support our view that mycorrhizosphere development and function plays a central role in controlling associated bacterial communities and their degradative activities in lignin-rich forest humus and PHC-contaminated soils.     

黄土高原不同植被带土壤团聚体有机碳和酶活性的粒径分布特征

为探究土壤中各粒级团聚体不同形态有机碳和酶活性的分布特征,以黄土高原延河流域森林带、森林草原带、草原带土壤为对象,研究了不同粒级团聚体总有机碳、易氧化碳和腐殖质碳含量,以及纤维素酶、β-D葡糖苷酶、过氧化物酶、蔗糖酶和脲酶活性,分析了土壤团聚体有机碳及其组分与酶活性之间的相关关系.结果表明： 3种植被带土壤团聚体有机碳及其组分含量表现为森林带＞草原带＞森林草原带,3种形态有机碳含量在0.25～2 mm粒径均最高;不同植被带土壤团聚体有机碳及其组分含量和酶活性在0～10 cm土层大于10～20 cm土层;3种植被带纤维素酶、β-D葡糖苷酶、蔗糖酶和脲酶活性表现为森林带＞草原带＞森林草原带,过氧化物酶活性表现为森林带＞森林草原带＞草原带;3种植被带土壤中各种酶活性随着粒径的减小呈递增趋势.土壤纤维素酶、过氧化物酶、蔗糖酶和脲酶活性与团聚体各种形态碳含量均呈显著正相关.
     

Influence of forest type,altitude and NDVI on soil properties in forests of North Western Himalaya,India

The present study has reported the influence of forest types, altitude and NDVI (normalized differential vegetation index) on the soil properties. The study area covered four districts viz., Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Sirmaur and Solan of Himachal Pradesh state of India. To carry out this study, five forest types at three different altitudes (600–900?m); (900–1200?m) and (1200–1500?m) above sea level having NDVI values of N1 (0.0–0.1), N2 (0.1–0.2), N3 (0.2–0.3), N4 (0.3–0.4) and N4 (0.4–0.5) were taken into consideration. Among the forest types, northern mixed dry deciduous forest was largest reservoirs of soil organic carbon (SOC) (4.46, 1.52 and 1.46% in humus, 0–20 and 21–40?cm soil layers respectively). The lowest values for SOC were found in dry shiwalik sal forests (2.60, 0.79 and 0.62% in humus, 0–20 and 21–40?cm soil layers respectively). The values of SOC decreased with increase in soil depth. The results showed a positive correlation between SOC, available N, P, K, Ca, S with the altitude and NDVI. However a negative correlation between altitude and NDVI was observed with the bulk density, available Mg and soil pH. Soil pH had a negative influence on SOC whereas SOC had a positive influence on the availability of Nitrogen (N), Sulphur (S) and Potassium (K). The availability of competing cations like Potassium (K) and Calcium (Ca) had a negative effect on the availability of less competitive cations like Magnesium (Mg). The results of the present study can be pivotal in future climate change studies, soil carbon stock assessment and land use planning along the lines of REDD+ initiatives in North Western Himalayan ecosystem.     

四川森林土壤有机碳储量的空间分布特征

利用森林土壤实测数据与GIS相结合的研究方法估算了四川森林土壤有机碳密度和碳储量,研究了四川森林土壤有机碳密度的空间分布特征.四川森林土壤有机碳储量为(2394.26 ±514.15) TgC,平均碳密度为190.45 Mg·hm-2;四川不同森林类型土壤有机碳储量和碳密度差异较大,分别介于(5.05±0.37)～(1101.74±205.40) TgC、(102.69±21.09)～(264.41±49.24) Mg·hm-2之间,其有机碳含量、碳密度和碳储量都随土层厚度的增加而降低.四川森林土壤有机碳密度空间分布特征明显,总体上表现出随纬度、海拔高度的增加而增加,随经度的增加而减小.从森林土壤生态系统水平监测森林土壤有机碳储量有助于提高其估算精度.     

广西不同林龄喀斯特森林生态系统碳储量及其分配格局

基于广西喀斯特地区45块1000 m²样地的调查,研究幼龄林、中龄林、近熟林、成熟林、过熟林5个林龄阶段喀斯特森林植被与土壤碳储量的分配格局.结果表明: 广西不同林龄喀斯特森林总碳储量表现为幼龄林(86.03 t·hm^-2)＜近熟林(110.63 t·hm^-2)＜中龄林(112.11 t·hm^-2)＜成熟林(149.1 t·hm^-2)＜过熟林(244.38 t·hm^-2);各林龄阶段植被不同层碳储量分配均不同,乔木层所占比例占绝对优势,达到92.3%～98.7%,随林龄的增加而增长,灌木层、草本层、凋落物层所占比例分别为0.3%～1.9%、0.3%～1.2%和0.3%～2.5%,细根所占比例为0.3%～3.3%.土壤有机碳密度随土层深度的增加而递减,土壤层碳储量为51.75～81.21 t·hm^-2,所占生态系统比例为33.2%～66.2%,其随林龄的增大呈减小趋势.生态系统地上、地下部分碳储量分别为22.80～141.72和62.30～102.66 t·hm^-2,除过熟林外均为地下部分＞地上部分,地上碳储量随林龄的增大呈逐渐增加的趋势,地下碳储量的变化规律与土壤碳储量变化趋势一致.土壤层和乔木层为生态系统的主要碳库,二者所占比例达到了96%以上.     

Original humus forms in a semi-deciduous tropical forest in Guadeloupe

Humus profiles underneath the canopy of dominant tree species in two secondary semi-evergreen forest sites in Grande-Terre (Guadeloupe) were analysed with a micromorphological method. In the vertisol of a tree plantation, the humus formed was rather similar under all tree species being an eumull and essentially due to the activity of the endoanecic earthworm Polypheretima elongata. In a natural secondary forest located on a steep slope and associated with a rendzina soil (without endoanecic earthworms), the humus forms were described at lower, mid- and upper slope. In this forest, two particular humus forms were observed. At the middle slope, underneath the canopy of Pisonia subcordata L. that produces nitrogen-rich litter, a calcareous amphimull, characterised by an OH horizon made of millipede faecal pellets, was formed. In the upper slope, underneath the canopy of Bursera simaruba (L.) Sarg. that produces a litter rich in resins and aromatic compounds that are poorly consumed by soil animals, a dysmull with a thick root mat (OFRh horizon) developed. Other humus forms were intermediate. The formation of these humus forms is discussed.     

15N natural abundance in fruit bodies of different functional groups of fungi in relation to substrate utilization

Natural abundances of ¹⁵N and N concentrations of 34 fruit bodies from 24 species of ectomycorrhizal and saprophytic fungi were measured in a temperate Central European mixed forest stand. The fungi of the two life forms are known to be capable of utilizing different types of N sources (organic N compounds from the humus, inorganic N from the soil and N from litter or wood) differing by their ¹⁵N natural abundance values. Based on the two life forms and the three different N sources, four functional groups of fungi were distinguished: (1) ectomycorrhizal fungi capable of utilizing organic N from the humus; (2) ectomycorrhizal fungi known to depend on inorganic N compounds in the soil; (3) saprophytes capable of utilizing organic N from the humus; and (4) saprophytes utilizing N from dead wood or litter. Large differences were found between species in the δ¹⁵N values (−3.0 to 3.3‰) and in the N concentrations (0.84 to 6.61 mmol eq N g dw⁻¹) of the fruit bodies. In most cases fungi were more enriched in ¹⁵N than their respective bulk N source was. Fungi living in humus, and presumably having access to organic N compounds (groups 1 and 3), were significantly more enriched in ¹⁵N than fungi which are known to depend on inorganic N (e.g. Laccaria , group 2), or fungi living on litter or wood (group 4), irrespective of whether they were ectomycorrhizal or saprophytic species. Fungi living in humus had significantly higher N concentrations than fungi living on litter or wood.     

瓦屋山扁刺栲-中华木荷常绿阔叶次生林土壤有机碳组分特征

次生林在全球碳循环中占有重要地位,为了研究中国中亚热带次生林土壤有机碳组分特征,以四川瓦屋山中山段扁刺栲-中华木荷常绿阔叶次生林为对象,通过挖取土壤剖面分层(0—10、10—40、40—70 cm和70—100 cm)取样方式,研究土壤各有机碳组分特征。结果表明:土壤有机碳、微生物生物量碳、可浸提溶解性有机碳和易氧化碳含量均随土层深度增加而减小,0—10 cm土层有机碳含量为121.89 g/kg,高于已报道的亚热带其他常绿阔叶林和四川各类森林;0—10 cm层微生物生物量碳含量为1931.82 mg/kg,可浸提溶解性有机碳含量为697.42 mg/kg,易氧化碳含量为20.98 g/kg,高于已报道的许多相似天然林和人工林活性碳含量。土壤有机碳储量为154.87 t/hm2,在四川省各类森林中处于中等水平。研究表明瓦屋山扁刺栲-中华木荷常绿阔叶次生林活性碳含量较大,微生物活动和养分流动较为活跃,凋落物层转化为土壤碳的潜力较大,这类生态系统可能会在区域碳循环过程中扮演更为重要的角色。     

广西马山岩溶次生林群落生物量和碳储量

岩溶植被在岩溶生态系统碳循环和全球碳平衡中具有重要的作用。通过对马山县岩溶次生林年龄序列(幼龄林、中龄林和老龄林)3个演替阶段9个样地(20 m×50 m)的系统取样调查,研究了停止人为干扰后岩溶次生林生物量和碳储量的变化。结果表明:沿幼林、中林和老林群落的顺向演替发展,群落生物量显著增加(P0.05),从幼林群落的48.17 t/hm2、到中林群落113.47 t/hm2,再到老林群落242.59 t/hm2。老林生态系统的碳储量较高,平均为236.69 t/hm2,中林和幼林较低且非常相近,分别为225.17 t/hm2和224.76 t/hm2,各次生林生态系统的碳储量差异不显著(P0.05)。土壤碳储量的大小顺序为幼林(198.44 t/hm2)中林(167.39 t/hm2)老林(113.43 t/hm2)。沿群落正向演替,各次生林生态系统中植物碳储量和土壤碳储量的比例发生明显的变化。幼林的土壤碳储量占生态系统碳储量的88.29%,植物碳储量只占11.71%;中林相应为74.34%和25.66%;而老林为47.92%和52.08%。可见,随着岩溶植被的正向演替,土壤碳转变为植物碳的趋势十分明显,这是岩溶森林不同于酸性土森林的一个显著特征。     

川西亚高山云杉人工林恢复过程中表层土壤碳动态变化

对川西亚高山云杉原始林及其皆伐迹地上云杉人工林不同演替阶段（22、47和65年）表层（0～30 cm）土壤碳储量及活性有机碳含量进行了分析.结果表明：在0～10、10～20和20～30 cm土层中,土壤总有机碳（TOC）储量分别由22年生云杉人工林的9587、7908和71.55 t·hm^-2减少到65年生云杉人工林的56.12、34.75和31.06 t·hm^-2,且47和65年生云杉人工林各层土壤TOC储量小于原始林（88.08、71.16和64.81 t·hm^-2）;各层土壤易氧化有机碳（EOC）含量分别由原始林的3589、26.91和26.00 g·kg^-1 减少到65年生云杉人工林的20.25、14.50和12.36 g·kg^-1,土壤微生物生物量碳（MBC）含量由原始林的524.44、273.26和257.97 mg·kg^-1减少到65年生云杉人工林的 312.41、186.95和152.18 mg·kg^-1,颗粒态有机碳（POC）含量由原始林的40.23、27.10和19.55 g·kg^-1减少到65年生云杉人工林的12.33、7.31和5.32 g·kg^-1.川西亚高山云杉原始林在转变为人工林后相当长的时间内,土壤有机碳及活性碳一直处于净消耗状态.     

Carbon stocks in the Guinea savanna of Ghana: estimates from three protected areas

Savannas are widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) and play a major role in the global carbon balance. Extensive quantification of savanna carbon stocks in SSA will therefore contribute to better accounting of the global carbon budget in the era of climate change. In this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of carbon stocks of different soil fractions and aboveground biomass within three forest reserves in the Guinea savanna zone of Ghana. Soil carbon stocks (SCSs) ranged from 4.80 to 12.61 Mg C/ha in surface soils (0–10 cm depth). Higher SCSs were associated with the silt +clay fraction than microaggregates and small macroaggregates in all three reserves. Relative to the dominant tree species (Vitellaria paradoxa), the highest SCSs were recorded under the sub‐canopy (SC), drip line (DL), and interspace (2 * SC + DL) zones for the Klupene, Sinsablegbinni, and Kenikeni forest reserves, respectively. The highest tree carbon stock was 60.01 Mg C/ha in Kenikeni. Sinsablegbinni had an average stock of 26.74 Mg C/ha and had the highest tree density. Average carbon capture by a single tree ranged from 0.04 to 0.34 Mg C. Aboveground grass carbon stock ranged from 0.08 to 0.47 Mg C/ha, while the belowground carbon stock ranged from 0.03 to 0.44 Mg C/ha. Accumulation of carbon in the aboveground grass biomass was greater at Klupene with low forest cover.     

模拟氮沉降对温带阔叶红松林地土壤氮素净矿化的影响

以长白山阔叶红松混交林为研究对象,于2006—2008年原位模拟不同形态氮((NH4)2SO4、NH4Cl和KNO3)沉降水平(22.5和45kgN·hm-2·a-1),利用树脂芯法技术(resin-core incubation technique)测定了表层(有机层0～7cm)和土层(0～15cm)土壤氮素净矿化、净氨化和净硝化通量的季节和年际变化规律。同时,结合前人报道的有关林地碳、氮过程及其环境变化影响的结果,力求有效预估森林生态系统中氮素年矿化通量对大气氮沉降量和水热条件等因子变化的响应。结果表明,长白山阔叶红松林地土壤氮素年净矿化通量为1.2～19.8kgN·hm-2·a-1,2008年不同深度的土壤氮素年净矿化通量均显著高于2006和2007年(P<0.05)。随着模拟氮沉降量增加,土壤氮素净矿化通量也随之增加,尤其外源NH4+-N输入对净矿化通量的促进作用更为明显(P<0.05),但随着施肥年限的延长,这种促进作用逐渐减弱。与林地0～15cm土壤相比,氮沉降增加对0～7cm有机层氮素净氨化和净矿化通量的促进作用更为明显,尤其NH4Cl处理的促进作用更大。结合前人报道的野外原位观测结果,土壤氮素年净矿化通量随氮素沉降量的增加而增大,氮沉降量对不同区域森林土壤氮素净矿化通量的贡献率约为52%;氮沉降量(x1)和pH值(x2)可以解释区域森林土壤氮素年净矿化通量(y)变化的70%(y=0.54x1-18.38x2-109.55,R2=0.70,P<0.0001)。前人研究结果仅提供区域年均温度,未考虑积温的影响,这可能是造成年净矿化通量与温度无关的原因。今后的研究工作应该加强区域森林土壤积温观测,进而更加准确地预估森林土壤氮素的年净矿化通量。     

杉木人工林C库与C吸存的动态研究

对湖南会同10年生、14年生杉木人工林C库和C吸存的动态研究结果表明,杉木人工林生态系统的C库主要由植被层、死地被物层、土壤层组成的,按其C库大小顺序排列为土壤层>植被层>死地被物层。10年生、14年生杉木林生态系统的C库分别为120.52和171.40t.hm-2,具有一定的年龄阶段和地带性特点。随着杉木林年龄的增长,乔木层C贮量的优势逐渐加强,从10年生的30.38t.hm-2增加到14年生的61.24t.hm-2,分别占总C库的25.21%和38.50%,树干C贮量占林分C贮量的比例最大,可达47.17%以上,并随杉木林年龄的增长而明显增强,分布在枝、叶、皮和根中的C贮量占48.11%以上,地上部分的C贮量占总C贮量的84.73%以上。10年生和14年生林地土壤层(0~60cm)的C库分别为88.21和108.20t.hm-2,占生态系统总C库的63.13%以上,土壤表层(0~15cm)的C储量分别占土壤总C库的36.57%和34.26%,土壤0~30cm层中的C储量分别占土壤总C库的63.44%和61.05%。地上部分C贮量与地下部分C贮量之比为10年生时为1∶3.53,14年生时为1∶2.22。10年生和14年生杉木人工林生态系统的年净固定C量分别为5.488和9.285t.hm-2.a-1。湖南省现有杉木林植被C库为0.1916×108t,潜在C库为1.4710×108t,C吸存潜力为1.2794×108t,湖南省现有杉木林植被的C库仅为其潜在C库的13.03%,低于全国水平26.46%。     

Changes in soil carbon with stand age – an evaluation of a modelling method with empirical data

Forest soils store a substantial amount of carbon, often more than the forest vegetation does. Estimates of the amount of soil carbon, and in particular estimates of changes in these amounts are still inaccurate. Measuring soil carbon is laborious, and measurements taken at a few statistically unrepresentative sites are difficult to scale to larger areas. We combined a simple dynamic model of soil carbon with litter production estimated on the basis of stand parameters, models of tree allometry and biomass turnover rates of different biomass components. This integrated method was used to simulate soil carbon as forest stands develop. The results were compared with measurements of soil carbon from 64 forest sites in southern Finland. Measured carbon stocks in the organic soil layer increased by an average of 4.7±1.4 g m^?2 a^?1 with increasing stand age and no significant changes were measured in the amount of carbon in mineral soil. Our integrated method indicated that soil carbon stocks declined to a minimum 20 years after clear‐cutting and the subsequent increase in the soil carbon stock (F/H ? 1 m) was 5.8±1.0 g m^?2 a^?1 averaged over the period to next harvesting (～125 years). Simulated soil carbon accumulation slowed down considerably in stands older than 50 years. The carbon stock measured (F/H ? 1 m) for the study area averaged 6.8±2.5 kg m^?2. The simulated carbon stock in soil was 7.0±0.6 kg m^?2 on average. These tests of the validity of the integrated model suggest that this method is suitable for estimating the amount of carbon in soil and its changes on regional scales.     

滇南喀斯特断陷盆地土地利用方式对土壤有机碳及其活性组分的影响

土地利用方式是影响土壤有机碳库的重要因素,为探究喀斯特断陷盆地土壤有机碳库对土地利用方式及环境因素的响应,以滇南喀斯特地区5种典型土地利用方式(耕地、草地、灌丛、人工林、天然林)为研究对象,分析不同土地利用方式土壤有机碳(SOC)及活性有机碳(LOC)组分,即可溶性有机碳(DOC)、易氧化性有机碳(EOC)及微生物量碳(MBC)的含量、储量及分配比例在土壤垂直剖面(0-60 cm)的变化特征。结果表明：5种土地利用方式的SOC含量随土层深度的增加逐渐降低,其储量依次为灌丛(191.77 t/hm²)、草地(166.86 t/hm²)、耕地(142.47 t/hm²)、人工林(134.31 t/hm²)和天然林(102.62 t/hm²);EOC和MBC的平均含量及储量均以草地及灌丛最高、人工林及天然林次之,二者在土壤垂直剖面上与SOC含量的变化特征一致,但EOC和MBC含量在土层间的下降幅度大于SOC;土地利用方式和土层深度对DOC无显著影响(P>0.05);活性有机碳的分配比例受土地利用方式及土层深度的显著影响(P<0.01),其中人工林的EOC/SOC和MBC/SOC显著低于草地、灌丛及天然林。通径分析指出SOC和EOC主要受C/P比、全磷、砂粒和交换性钙的影响,砂粒和C/P比是影响MBC的主要因子。研究阐明在喀斯特断陷盆地地区EOC和MBC对土地利用方式的响应比SOC更敏感。另外,今后在土壤碳库的研究中应更多关注土壤磷和物理结构对其的影响。     

Microbial biomass and growth kinetics of microorganisms in chernozem soils under different land use modes

The carbon content of microbial biomass and the kinetic characteristics of microbial respiration response to substrate addition have been estimated for chernozem soils under different land use: arable lands used for 10, 46, and 76 years, mowed meadow, natural forest, and forest shelter belt. Microbial biomass and the content of microbial carbon in humus (C_mic /C_org) decreased in the following order: soils under forest cenoses—mowed meadow—10-year arable land—46- and 75-year arable land. The amount of microbial carbon in the long-plowed horizon was 40% of its content in the upper horizon of natural forest. Arable soils were characterized by a lower metabolic diversity of microbial community and by the highest portion of microorganisms able to grow directly on glucose introduced into soil. The effects of different scenarios of carbon sequestration in soil on the amounts and activity of microbial biomass are discussed.
