不同植被配置下土壤碳矿化潜力

通过实验室培养的方法,研究了沙坡头地区不同植被配置区(纯柠条、纯油蒿、柠条油蒿混交林)土壤碳矿化潜力及不同凋落物在土壤中的分解.结果表明,通过103 d的室内培养,相同配置不同处理的土壤碳矿化差异不显著,灌丛密度高的植被配置碳矿化量高.不同生境土壤CO2-C的释放在灌丛下不加凋落物处理的情况下,单行油蒿与双行柠条样地间碳矿化存在显著性差异(P=0.047),其他各样地及各处理差异均不显著.总的来说,柠条样地土壤碳矿化潜力高于其他2种样地.凋落物分解速率在不同生境土壤最初的分解速率均为1年生草本混合样＞油蒿＞柠条,在培养40 d之后,3种凋落物的分解速率趋于一致,这与草本较高的C、N、C/N比有关.另外,柠条样地的土壤加油蒿凋落物比在柠条样地的土壤中加柠条凋落物有较高的初始碳矿化潜力,这除与油蒿凋落物较易分解有关外还与不同生境土壤养分的可利用性有关,但在培养过程中出现拐点,这与柠条较高的C、N、C/N有关.在不同生境的土壤中,碳矿化潜力均为灌丛下＞灌丛外,灌木的存在使更多的有机质和养分积聚在灌丛下,形成灌丛肥岛,对碳的固存具有显著贡献.

Soil carbon mineralization potential under different configuration of vegetation

Soil samples were collected from the plots of different vegetation configuration(Caragana korshinskii,Artemisia ordosica,and C.korshinskii-A.ordosica) in Shapotou region of Ningxia Province,Northwest China,and an incubation was conducted to study the mineralization potential of soil carbon and the litter decomposition in soil.During 103 days incubation,no significant differences were observed in the soil carbon mineralization under the same vegetation configuration and with or without litter addition,but th...
