Prescribed burning and mechanical thinning effects on belowground conditions and soil respiration in a mixed-conifer forest,California

Soil respiration (R_S) is a major carbon pathway from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere and is sensitive to environmental changes. Although commonly used mechanical thinning and prescribed burning can significantly alter the soil environment, the effect of these practices on R_S and on the interactions between R_S and belowground characteristics in managed forests is not sufficiently understood. We: (1) examined the effects of burning and thinning treatments on soil conditions, (2) identified any changes in the effects of soil chemical and physical properties on R_S under burning and thinning treatments, and (3) indirectly estimated the changes in the autotrophic soil respiration (R_A) and heterotrophic soil respiration (R_H) contribution to R_S under burning and thinning treatments. We conducted our study in the Teakettle Experimental Forest where a full factorial design was implemented with three levels of thinning, none (N), understory thinning (U), and overstory thinning (O; September to October 2000 for thin burn combination and June and July 2001 for thin only treatments) and two levels of burning, none (U) and prescribed burning (B; fall of 2001). R_S, soil temperature, soil moisture, litter depth, soil total nitrogen and carbon content, soil pH, root biomass, and root nitrogen (N) concentration were measured between June 15 and July 15, 2002 at each plot. During this period, soil respiration was measured three times at each point and averaged by point. When we assumed the uniform and even contribution of R_A and R_H to R_S in the studied ecosystem without disturbances and a linear relationship of root N content and R_A, we calculated the contributions of R_A to R_S as 22, 45, 53, 48, and 45% in UU, UO, BN, BU, and BO, respectively. The results suggested that after thinning, R_S was controlled more by R_H while after burning R_S was more influenced by R_A. The least amount of R_S variation was explained by studied factors under the most severe treatment (BO treatment). Overall, root biomass, root N concentration, and root N content were significantly (p < 0.01) correlated with soil respiration with correlation coefficients of 0.37, −0.28, and 0.29, respectively. This study contributes to our understanding of how common forestry management practices might affect soil carbon sequestration, as soil respiration is a major component of ecosystem respiration.     

喀斯特原生乔木林和次生林土壤呼吸研究

研究喀斯特森林土壤呼吸对探索陆地生态系统碳循环有重要意义。对喀斯特原生乔木林和次生林土壤呼吸速率的非生长季动态变化及对温度变化的响应和不同凋落物处理下土壤呼吸的变化进行了研究,结果表明:喀斯特次生林和原生乔木林土壤呼吸速率非生长季动态变化与土壤温度、林内温度变化总体一致;两演替群落土壤温度能解释95.1%~96.8%,91.3%~92.8%的土壤呼吸变化。去除、添加凋落物处理对土壤呼吸影响有显著差异(P<0.05),分别使土壤呼吸降低了21.29%~54.03%和增加了13.79%~98.41%。不同土壤深度土壤呼吸的Q10值次生林为4.62~4.71、原生林为4.01~4.31。随着土壤深度的增加而增加,去除和添加凋落物处理引起土壤呼吸的Q10值不同,从大到小均表现为去除、对照、添加。两演替群落比较,土壤呼吸因小生境、森林植被不同而存在差异,次生林土壤呼吸速率高于原生乔木林,次生林呼吸速率与土壤温度的相关程度略高于原生乔木林,次生林土壤呼吸对温度的敏感性更强。     

Vertical and leaf-age-related variations of nonstructural carbohydrates in two alpine timberline species, southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Spatial pattern of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) was analyzed in two alpine timberline species (Abies georgei and Juniperus saltuaria) growing at the timberline in Sergyemla Mountain, southeastern Tibetan Plateau. We aimed to examine the effect of canopy height and leaf age on balance between carbon uptake and consumption of timberline tree species in extremely environmental condition. The results showed that no significantly vertical variation in sugars, starch or NSC (soluble sugars plus starch) in A. georgei was found for any aged needles. Also, there were no significant differences among vertical gradients in both current and last-year leaves for J. saltuaria. However, different-aged needles/leaves showed significant differences in NSC concentrations in both A. georgei and J. saltuaria. For A. georgei, needle mean NSC across vertical canopies showed a significant increase from current-year to 2-year needles (P < 0.05), followed by a gradual decrease from 2- to 5-year needles (P < 0.05), whereas for J. saltuaria, last-year leaves had significant higher NSC except sugars compared with current-year leaves across canopies (P < 0.01). The observed trends of NSC along vertical canopy heights and leaf ages suggested that, in extreme environmental condition, not only light-induced carbon acquisition in photosynthesis but also carbohydrate export from leaves should be taken into account to explain the spatial pattern of NSC.     

Q10 values of soil respiration in Japanese forests

Q₁₀ is the most important index of soil respiration, and is essential for accurate prediction of soil carbon response to global warming. The response of soil carbon storage is an issue on global and regional scales. In this study, published Q₁₀ values of soil respiration in Japanese forests were examined (n = 44). The Q₁₀ values ranged from 1.30 to 3.45, and the mean value was 2.18 (SD = 0.61, median = 2.02). These results were slightly lower than those of global compilations. The number of studies of Q₁₀ values is still lacking, especially with regard to those in managed forests, those in northeast Japan, and those using modern measurement techniques such as infrared gas analysis. For accurate prediction of soil carbon dynamics and storage in Japanese forests, more such studies are required.     

滇中高原云南松天然林和人工林土壤呼吸特征的比较

以云南磨盘山国家森林公园云南松天然林和人工林为研究对象,采用LI-6400-09便携式土壤呼吸室对土壤呼吸速率进行连续定位观测。结果表明:(1)两种林分的土壤呼吸速率具有明显的季节变化,均呈单峰曲线趋势;云南松天然林土壤呼吸速率在1.58~4.23μmol·m-2s-1之间,变异幅度为2.68;人工林土壤呼吸速率在1.13~3.34μmol·m-2s-1之间,变异幅度为2.96。(2)土壤呼吸速率的季节变化与不同层次土壤含水量均显著正相关(p0.05),而与不同层次土壤温度的相关性仅在云南松人工林达到显著水平。(3)双因素关系模型拟合结果表明,土壤温度和含水量共同解释了云南松天然林和人工林土壤呼吸速率的80.8%~93.0%和84.2%~85.9%。(4)两种林分土壤呼吸速率与土壤有机质含量相关性不显著(p0.05),土壤全氮含量仅与云南松天然林土壤呼吸相关性显著(R2=0.712,p0.05),而土壤水解氮含量对两林分土壤呼吸的影响均达到显著水平(p0.05),土壤C/N则与两林分呈极显著(p0.01)的负相关关系。因此,与天然林相比,人工林土壤温度、湿度及土壤C、N养分含量等土壤环境因子都存在变化,从而导致云南松天然林和人工林土壤呼吸速率时空变化的差异性。

温度对杉木林土壤呼吸的影响(英文)

Soil samples collected from the surface soil (0(10 cm) in an 88-year-old Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) forest in Nanping, Fujian, China were incubated for 90 days at the temperatures of 15°C, 25°C and 35°C in laboratory. The soil CO2 evolution rates were measured at the incubation time of 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 days. The results showed that CO2 evolution rates of soil samples varied significantly with incubation time and temperature during the incubation period. Mean CO2 evolution rate and cumulative amount of CO2 evolution from soil were highest at 35°C, followed by those at 25°C, and 15°C. Substantial differences in CO2 evolution rate were found in Q10 values calculated for the 2nd and 90th day of incubation. The Q10 value for the average CO2 evolution rate was 2.0 at the temperature range of 15-25°C, but it decreased to 1.2 at 25- 35°C. Soil CO2 evolution rates decreased with the incubation time. The cumulative mineralized C at the end of incubation period (on the 90th day) was less than 10% of the initial C amounts prior to incubation.

以位于长江三峡库区的重庆缙云山针阔混交林为研究对象,利用美国LI-COR公司生产的LI-8100开路式土壤碳通量测量系统对林地有凋落物和无凋落物两种土壤呼吸速率进行了观测。结果表明:(1)有无凋落物对土壤温度、土壤含水量均无影响;(2)有凋落物和无凋落物土壤呼吸的昼夜变化都呈现为单峰曲线,下午14:00左右达到峰值,并且无凋落物土壤呼吸速率小于有凋落物土壤呼吸速率;(3)有凋落物和无凋落物土壤呼吸季节变化趋势都表现为双峰型,峰值分别出现在7月和9月;(4)针阔混交林通过土壤呼吸释放的CO2量达到24.05 t/hm2,其中由凋落物释放的CO2达到5.09 t/hm2,占总CO2释放量的21.16%,说明凋落物对土壤呼吸影响显著。     

土壤温度和水分对长白山3种温带森林土壤呼吸的影响

为了研究土壤温度和土壤含水量对阔叶红松林(山地暗棕壤)、云冷杉暗针叶林(山地棕针叶林土壤)和岳桦林(生草森林土)的土壤呼吸的影响,于2001年9月在长白山进行了土壤实验。利用增加土壤样柱的含水量,将土壤含水量分为9%,、21%、30%、37%和43%5个等级,土壤样品分别在0、5、15、25和35的温度下保持24小时。阔叶红松林土壤在0~35范围内,土壤呼吸速率与温度呈正相关。在一定的含水量范围内(21%~37%),土壤呼吸随含水量的增加而升高,当含水量超出该范围,土壤呼吸速率则随含水量的变化而降低。土壤温度和水分对土壤呼吸作用存在明显的交互作用。不同森林类型土壤呼吸作用强弱存在显著差异,大小顺序为阔叶红松林>岳桦林>云冷杉暗针叶林.红松阔叶林土壤呼吸作用的最佳条件是土壤温度35,含水量37%;云冷杉暗针叶林下的山地棕色针叶土壤呼吸作用的最佳条件是25,21%;岳桦林土壤呼吸作用的最佳条件是35,含水量37%。但是,由于长白山阔叶红松林,云冷杉林和岳桦林处在不同的海拔带上,同期不同森林类型土壤温度各不相同,相差4~5,所以野外所测的同期的山地棕色针叶林土呼吸速率应低于暗棕色森林土呼吸速率,山地生草森林土呼吸速率应高于山地棕色针叶林土的呼吸速率。图2表1参25。     

西藏色季拉山天然林分土壤昼夜呼吸特征

利用 LI -8100A 土壤碳通量自动测量系统，于2013年7月和11月对西藏色季拉山两种最典型天然林分（急尖长苞冷杉和林芝云杉）的土壤呼吸进行了测定，分析了土壤水热因子对土壤昼夜呼吸速率的影响。结果表明：两种林分土壤昼夜呼吸速率日变化呈现单峰曲线，昼高夜低。高峰值出现的时间在午后14：00-16：00之间，最低值出现在凌晨4：00-6：00之间。急尖长苞冷杉、林芝云杉7月、11月土壤呼吸速率日变幅分别为1.64，0.75，1.22，0.11μmol/（m2·s）。夏季（7月）土壤呼吸速率平均值高于冬季（11月），急尖长苞冷杉群落土壤呼吸速率高于林芝云杉群落。急尖长苞冷杉夏季（7月）土壤昼夜呼吸速率差异极显著，而冬季差异不显著。昼夜间土壤呼吸速率之间的关系可以用以夜间呼吸速率为自变量构建的幂函数方程（7月）和三次曲线方程（11月）来描述。土壤昼夜呼吸速率与地表下5 cm 处土壤温度之间的关系可以用指数曲线方程来描述，与土壤水分之间的关系可以用三次曲线方程来进行描述。

Antagonistic effects of species on C respiration and net N mineralization in soils from mixed coniferous plantations

Mixtures of litter from different plant species often show non-additive effects on decomposition and net N release (i.e., observed effects in mixtures differ from predictions based on litter of the component species), with positive non-additive (i.e., synergistic effects) being most common. Although large amounts of C and N reside in soil organic matter that contribute significantly to the overall C and N cycle, only a few studies have compared species monoculture vs. mixture effects on soil C and N dynamics. We studied the interactive effects of black spruce (Picea mariana), tamarack (Larix laricina), and white pine (Pinus strobus) on soil C respiration and net N mineralization in a plantation in northern Minnesota, USA. The trees were planted in monoculture and in all three possible two-species combinations (mixtures). After 10 years, we measured aboveground plant biomass and soil C respiration and net N mineralization rates in long-term (266 days) and short-term (13 days) laboratory incubations, respectively. Soil C respiration and net N mineralization were significantly lower in mixtures with tamarack than would be predicted from the monocultures of the two component species. Possibly, mixing of lignin rich litter from black spruce or white pine with N rich litter from tamarack suppressed the formation of lignolytic enzymes or formed complexes highly resistant to microbial degradation. However, these antagonistic effects on soil C respiration and net N mineralization in mixtures with tamarack did not result in reduced aboveground biomass in these plots after 10 years of growth. It remains to be seen if these antagonistic effects will affect long-term forest productivity and dynamics in boreal forests.     

鄂尔多斯高原油蒿灌丛群落土壤呼吸日变化和季节变化特征

本研究对鄂尔多斯高原沙化灌丛群落油蒿土壤呼吸日变化和季节变化进行了野外定位观测,并对其环境驱动因子进行了初步的探讨.结果表明:油蒿群落两个不同生长期土壤呼吸日变化及其对温度因子的响应存在差异.营养生长期,土壤呼吸日变化不明显,且土壤呼吸速率和温度日变化无显著的相关关系;而在生殖生长期,土壤呼吸日变化非常明显,气温及0-10 cm土壤温度日变化与土壤呼吸速率相关显著(P<0.05).整个生长季期间,土壤呼吸高峰期出现在7-8月,与该段时间水热因子条件最佳且配置较好密切相关.荒漠灌丛生态系统中,降雨是土壤呼吸出现激发现象的控制因素.降雨对土壤产生的干湿交替作用能够显著提高土壤呼吸速率.生长季期间,土壤呼吸速率变化与气温及0-10 cm土壤含水量变化的相关性显著(P<0.05).通过逐步回归发现,0-10 cm土壤含水量的变化能够说明生长季土壤呼吸速率变化的41.9% (P<0.05).图3表2参34.     

喜玛拉雅嘎瓦耳地区的坡向对温带自然森林的森林成分,群落结构和土壤特性的影响

在喜玛拉雅嘎瓦耳（Garhwal Himalaya）地区,选择7种温带（1500 to 3100 m,a.s.l.）森林类型,研究不同坡面（东北,西北,东南,西南）对自然森林的森林成分、群落结构和土壤特性的影响。在每种森林中自由采样。为了阐明研究不同坡面（东北、西北、东南、西南）对天然森林的森林成分、群落结构和土壤特性的影响,利用标准统计软件计算多种指标,如,重要价值指标、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数、优势辛普森浓度、辛普森多样性指数、种均匀度和物种丰富度指数。在每种森林中采集复合土壤样品,分析土壤的物理化学特性、水分含量、持水量、pH、有机碳、磷、钾和有效氮含量。结果表明,北坡森林的总基盖度（高山栎林Quercus semecarpifolia为74.4 m2&#183;ha-1）、优势度（长叶松林Pinus roxburghii为0.85）和树种多样（石斛蟹Quercus floribunda为1.81）均高于其他坡位森林,北坡森林土壤中的水分含量（白橡树Quercusleucotrichophora为40.8%）、持水量（藏柏Cupressus torulos为48.9%）、有机碳（雪松Cedrus deodara为3.8%）、磷（白橡树Quercus leucotrichophora为31.9 kg&#183;ha-1）和氮（西藏长叶松林Pinus roxburghii为1.0%）均比其他坡位土壤值高。因此,北坡森林的生产力较高。     

Clear felling and burning effects on soil nitrogen transforming bacteria and actinomycetes population in Chittagong University campus, Bangladesh

The effect of forests clear felling and associated burning on the population of soil nitrogen transforming bacteria and actinomycetes are reported at three pair sites of Chittagong University campus, Bangladesh in monsoon tropical climate. Clear felled area or burnt site and 15-21 year mixed plantation of native and exotic species, situated side by side on low hill having Typic Dystrochrepts soil was represented at each pair site. At all the three pair sites, clear felled area or burnt site showed very significantly (p≤0.001) lower population of actinomycetes, Rhizobium, Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter and ammonifying as well as denitrifying bacteria compared to their adjacent mixed plantation. From environmental consideration, this finding has implication in managing natural ecosystem.     

Diurnal and seasonal dynamics of soil respiration in desert shrubland of Artemisia Ordosica on Ordos Plateau of Inner Mongolia, China

The diurnal and seasonal dynamics of soil respiration in the A. ordosica shrubland on Ordos Plateau were investigated in the growing season （May-October） of 2006 and their environmental driving factors were also analyzed, Results indicated that diurnal dynamics of soil respiration rate and its temperature dependence showed some discrepancy in two different growth stages （the vegetative growth stage and the reproductive growth stage）. During the vegetative growth stage, the diurnal variation of soil respiration was slight and not correlated with the daily temperature change, but during the reproductive growth stage, the daily respiration variation was relatively large and significantly correlated with the diurnal variation of air and soil temperature. In the growing season, the peak value of soil respiration occurred at July and August because of the better soil water-heat conditions and their optimal deployment in this period. In the shrubland ecosystem, precipitation was the switch of soil respiration pulses and can greatly increase soil respiration rates after soil rewetting. Moreover, the soil respiration rates in the growing season and the air temperature and soil surface water content were closely correlated （p〈0.05） each other. The stepwise regression model indicated that the variation of soil surface moisture accounted for 41.9% of the variation in soil respiration （p〈0.05）.
