Tree-ring response of Larix chinensis on regional climate and sea-surface temperature variations in alpine timberline in the Qinling Mountains

Tree-ring width chronologies of Larix chinensis were developed from the northern and southern slopes of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province,and climatic factors affecting the tree-ring widths of L.chinensis were examined.Correlation analysis showed that similar correlations between tree-ring width chronologies and climatic factors demonstrated that radial growth responded to climate change on both slopes.The radial growth of L.chinensis was mainly limited by temperature,especially the growing season.In contrast,both chronologies were negatively correlated with precipitation in May of the previous year and April of the current year.Spatial climate-correlation analyses with gridded land-surface climate data revealed that our tree-ring width chronologies contained a strong regional temperature signal over much of northcentral and eastern China.Spatial correlation with seasurface temperature fields highlights the influence of the Pacific Ocean,Indian Ocean,and North Atlantic Ocean.Wavelet coherence analysis indicated the existence of some decadal and interannual cycles in the two tree-ring width chronologies.This may suggest the influences of El Nin˜o-Southern Oscillation and solar activity on tree growth in the Qinling Mountains.These findings will help us understand the growth response of L.chinensis to climate change in the Qinling region,and they provide critical information for future climate reconstructions based on this species in semi-humid regions.     

间伐对秦岭南坡锐齿栎林土壤腐殖质及微生物的影响

【目的】以秦岭南坡锐齿栎林为研究对象,探讨间伐对锐齿栎林地土壤腐殖质及土壤微生物的影响,为秦岭林区锐齿栎林抚育经营提供理论依据。【方法】2012年3月,在秦岭南坡陕西省宁东林业局沙沟林场林地阳坡的中下部选择生长状况接近、林分密度基本一致的锐齿栎天然次生林,设置锐齿栎天然次生林样地12块,间伐强度分别为林分蓄积量的0(CK)、5%(T1)、10%(T2)、15%(T3)、20%(T4)和25%(T5),2018年7月采集0～30 cm土层土样,测定土壤腐殖质及其组分(胡敏酸、富啡酸和胡敏素)含量以及土壤微生物(细菌、真菌、放线菌)数量,并分析土壤胡敏酸、富啡酸和胡敏素含量与细菌、真菌、放线菌数量的相关性。【结果】(1)间伐6年后,在0～30 cm土层,各间伐强度处理土壤腐殖质含量平均值均大于CK,且T1处理的土壤腐殖质含量最高,为(60.78±10.53) g/kg。各间伐强度下土壤胡敏酸含量平均值较CK均有明显减少,不同处理土壤胡敏酸含量平均值由大到小依次为CKT4T3T5T2T1。除T3处理外,其余间伐强度处理土壤富啡酸含量平均值均高于CK,富啡酸含量平均值由大到小依次为T2T1T5T4CKT3。与CK相比,除T1处理外,其余各间伐强度处理土壤胡敏素含量平均值均增加,各间伐强度处理土壤胡敏素含量平均值由大到小依次为T2T3T4T5CKT1。(2)不同间伐强度下土壤胡敏酸/腐殖酸含量比值(PQ)由大到小依次为CK15%20%25%10%5%。(3)间伐6年后,在0～30 cm土层,土壤微生物总量随着间伐强度的增加呈先增加后减少的趋势,微生物总量在间伐强度为10%时达到最高;土壤细菌、放线菌数量在间伐强度为5%～10%时较高,真菌数量在间伐强度为15%～20%时较高。(4)土壤细菌、真菌和放线菌数量均与土壤胡敏酸、胡敏素含量呈极显著正相关,土壤真菌数量与富啡酸含量呈显著正相关。【结论】土壤微生物各种群数量可以显著影响土壤腐殖质的积累,合理的抚育间伐可以显著增加土壤腐殖质含量及微生物数量,选择10%～15%的间伐强度作为提高林地土壤腐殖质的参考指标较为合理。

秦岭松栎林带生物量及其营养元素分布特征

秦岭脱齿栎林、油松林和华山林（包括０－６０cm土层）营养元素总贮量达２９．２５００－３９０．１７３９t.hm^-2，其大小为锐齿栎林＞华山松＞油松林，土壤中营养现贮量占系统总量的９３．１０％－９９．３９％，植被层和凋落物层仅占０．５７％－３．００％和０．１０％－１．９９％；３林分乔木层生物量、木材蓄积量和营养元素积累量平均值分别为１２０．４８３t.hm^-2,129.384m^3.hm^-2和１２２６．９kg.hm^-2，锐齿栎林＞油松林＞华山松林。３林分林下植被层生物量现存量和营养元素积累量平均值分别为１．５５３t.hm^-2和５３．１kg.hm^-2，锐齿栎林最大，华山松林最小。林下凋落物现存量和营养元素积量平均值分别为１７．４７５t.hm^-2和５０２．５kg.hm^-2，３林分凋落物现存量、营养元素含量及其积累量都存在明显的差异。锐齿栎林、油松林和华山松林营养元素年吸收量、归还量、存留量和平均归还率分别为３３．４、１４７．２和２６４．３，１９５．６、６６．９和８４．１，１３８．８、８０．４和１８０．２kg.hm^-2和０．５８５、０４５４和０．３１８，３林分各营养元素的年吸收量，归还量和存留量也存在一定的差异，锐齿栎林干和皮中Ｃa和Ｍg含量远远高于油松林和华山松林的，锐齿栎林多代连作势必导致营养元素的大量流失，特别是Ｃa和Ｍg，会破坏土壤原有离子动态平衡，引起林地土壤理化性质改变，林地生产潜力逐渐下降。

秦岭南坡不同海拔土壤肥力的空间分异规律

对秦岭南坡土壤肥力状况、空间分异规律及其与海拔的关系进行研究.结果表明,秦岭南坡土壤肥力指标在整个土壤剖面空间分异范围分别为:土壤pH值5.97～6.89,有机质含量6.6～50.1 g·kg-1,土壤全N含量0.5～3.8 g·kg-1,碱解N含量33.6～257.3 mg·kg-1,速效P含量0.81～5.8 mg·kg-1,速效K含量38.9～262.4 mg·kg-1,粘粒含量11.3%～18.1%,阳离子代换量68.5～310.2 mmol·kg-1;其空间分异程度以速效P、有机质和土壤全N含量较大,土壤粘粒含量和土壤pH值较小;随着土层的加深,土壤pH值、有机质、速效P、土壤粘粒含量和阳离子代换量空间分异程度减小,而土壤全N、碱解N和速效K含量空间分异程度增大.土壤速效K、速效P含量和阳离子代换量水平空间分异程度受海拔的影响较大,而土壤pH值和粘粒含量水平空间分异程度受海拔影响较小.随着海拔的升高,土壤pH值降低,有机质和速效P、K含量增大,土壤肥力空间分异程度减小,这可能与随着海拔升高人为干扰强度降低及林分类型趋向单一有关.

Soil nitrogen and denitrification potential as affected by land use and stand age following agricultural abandonment in a headwater catchment

Changes in vegetation and soil properties because of agricultural abandonment may affect soil nitrogen (N) and associated processes. We investigated soil N (total N: TN, inorganic N: NH₄–N and NO₃–N) and denitrification potential in cropland, pine plantations and abandoned agricultural land along a secondary succession sequence (grassland→shrubland→secondary forest) in a headwater catchment in the Qinling Mountains, northwest China. The results show that the soil denitrification potential differed significantly among the five land‐use types with the highest potential in the secondary forest, followed by grassland, shrubland, cropland and plantations. The denitrification potential of the 20‐ to 40‐cm layer was significantly lower compared with the topsoil (0–20 cm) across all land‐use types. TN, soil organic matter (SOM) and NH₄–N increased significantly with stand age, whereas there was an opposite trend in soil pH. However, the denitrification potential did not relate to stand age in a linear manner. We conclude that changes in soil TN, SOM and pH during vegetation succession following agricultural abandonment are critical controls on the denitrification potential.
