Changes in soil carbon, the largest terrestrial carbon pool, are critical for the global carbon cycle, atmospheric CO2 levels and climate. Climate warming is predicted to be most pronounced in the northern regions and therefore the large soil carbon pool residing in boreal forests will be subject to larger global warming impact than soil carbon pools in the temperate or the tropical forest. A major uncertainty in current estimates of the terrestrial carbon balance is related to decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). We hypothesized that when soils are exposed to warmer climate the structure of the ground vegetation will change much more rapidly than the dominant tree species. This change will alter the quality and amount of litter input to the soil and induce changes in microbial communities, thus possibly altering the temperature sensitivity of SOM decomposition. We transferred organic surface soil sections from the northern borders of the boreal forest zone to corresponding forest sites in the southern borders of the boreal forest zone and studied the effects of warmer climate after an adaptation period of 2 years. The results showed that initially ground vegetation and soil microbial community structure and community functions were different in northern and southern forest sites and that 2 years of exposure to warmer climate was long enough to cause changes in these ecological indicators. The rate of SOM decomposition was approximately equally sensitive to temperature irrespective of changes in vegetation or microbial communities in the studied forest sites. However, as temperature sensitivity of the decomposition increases with decreasing temperature regime, the proportional increase in the decomposition rate in northern latitudes could lead to significant carbon losses from the soils. 相似文献

Previous studies of the effect of carbonation on taste perception have
suggested that it may be negligible, manifesting primarily in increases in
the perceived intensity of weak salt and sour stimuli. Assuming CO2
solutions in the mouth stimulate only trigeminal nerve endings, this result
is not altogether surprising; however, there are neurophysiological data
indicating that CO2 stimulates gustatory as well as trigeminal fibers. In
that case, carbonation might alter the quality profile of a stimulus
without producing substantial changes in overall taste intensity--much as
occurs when qualitatively different taste stimuli are mixed. To address
this possibility, subjects were asked to rate the total taste intensity of
moderate concentrations of stimuli representing each of the basic tastes
and their binary combinations, with an without added carbonation. They then
subdivided total taste intensity into the proportions of sweetness,
saltiness, sourness, bitterness and 'other taste qualities' they perceived.
The addition of carbonation produced only small increases in ratings of
total taste intensity. However, rather dramatic alterations in the quality
profiles of stimuli were observed, particularly for sweet and salty tastes.
The nature of the interaction is consistent with a direct effect of
carbonation/CO2 on the gustatory system, although the possibility that at
least some of the observed effects reflect trigeminal-gustatory
interactions cannot be ruled out.
