Nitrogen-fixing activity in decomposing litter of three tree species at a watershed in eastern Japan
Takashi Yamanaka Keizo Hirai Shuhei Aizawa Shuichiro Yoshinaga Masamichi Takahashi 《Journal of Forest Research》2011,16(1):1-7
Nitrogen fixation during litter decomposition was studied for 34 months using litterbags containing newly fallen litter of
coniferous species Cryptomeria japonica and Pinus densiflora and that of deciduous species Quercus serrata. Litterbags were set in contact with the forest floor in a deciduous broad-leaved forest near the top of a slope and in a
C. japonica stand at the middle of the slope at a watershed in eastern Japan. Nitrogen-fixing activity, estimated by acetylene reduction
after 16 and 19 months of incubation, was 62.65–3.86 nmoles C2H4 h−1 g−1 DW in Cryptomeria litter, but only 1.07–0.09 in Pinus and 0.72–0.04 in Quercus. The rate of N increase in decomposing litter was highest in Cryptomeria. Fungal biomass in decomposing litter, estimated by ergosterol content, increased during the initial 16 months of incubation
in Cryptomeria and Quercus, and during the initial 19 months of incubation in Pinus. The litter decomposition rate was highest in Cryptomeria among the three species, due to increased N content and fungal biomass in Cryptomeria litter. Thus, N increase in decomposing Cryptomeria litter affects the subsequent N dynamics and decomposition pattern. 相似文献

The colonization and lignin decomposition of pine (Pinus thunbergii and Pinus densiflora) needle litter by an endophytic fungus, Lophodermium pinastri, was examined with field observations, a field experiment and laboratory experiments. In pine needles collected from the field, needle mass per length and lignin content were lower in needle portions bearing Lophodermium fruiting bodies than in the remaining needle portions, whereas total carbohydrate content was not different between them. Total and live hyphal lengths were greater in needle portions bearing Lophodermium fruiting bodies than in the remaining needle portions. Lophodermium fruiting bodies were not formed on sterilized needles after a 6‐month incubation on the forest floor, whereas they formed on 20% of non‐sterilized needles, indicating that this fungus can only colonize live needles on the branch. In pure culture decomposition tests, mass loss of lignin was detected for several isolates of L. pinastri, but was variable among isolates and between the needles of two pine species. A comparison of the rDNA‐internal transcribed spacer sequences between L. pinastri isolates of P. thunbergii and P. densiflora indicated that the two groups were phylogenetically separated. This study is the first to show that L. pinastri has the ability to decompose lignin in dead pine needles. 相似文献

The effects of understory plant litter on dominant tree litter decomposition are not well documented especially in semi-arid forests. In this study, we used a microcosm experiment to examine the effects of two understory species (Artemisia scoparia and Setaria viridis) litter on the mass loss and N release of Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) litter in Keerqin Sandy Lands, northeast China, and identified the influencing mechanism from the chemical quality of decomposing litter. Four litter combinations were set up: one monoculture of Mongolian pine and three mixtures of Mongolian pine and one or two understory species in equal mass proportions of each species. Total C, total N, lignin, cellulose and polyphenol concentrations, and mass loss of pine litter were analyzed at days 84 and 182 of incubation. The chemistry of pine litter not only changed with the stages of decomposition, but was also strongly influenced by the presence of understory species during decomposition. Both understory species promoted mass loss of pine litter at 84 days, while only the simultaneous presence of two understory species promoted mass loss of pine litter at 182 days. Mass loss of pine litter was negatively correlated with initial ratios of C/N, lignin/N and polyphenol/N of litter combinations during the entire incubation period; at 182 days it was negatively correlated with polyphenol concentration and ratios of C/N and polyphenol/N of litter combinations at 84 days of incubation. Nitrogen release of pine litter was promoted in the presence of understory species. Nitrogen release at 84 days was negatively correlated with initial N concentration; at 182 days it was negatively correlated with initial polyphenol concentration of litter combinations and positively correlated with lignin concentration of litter combinations at 84 days of incubation. Our results suggest that the presence of understory species causes substantial changes in chemical components of pine litter that can exert strong influences on subsequent decomposition of pine litter. 相似文献

We examined the relationships between the absorptional characteristics in the near infrared region and the chemical changes
of decomposing beech (Fagus crenata) and pine (Pinus densiflora) litters. Spectra as well as the concentrations of chemical substances approached each other and converged with decomposition,
although both initial characteristics differed markedly between beech and pine. This indicated that the fundamental chemical
structures were almost the same, although their organochemical composition differed. Specific absorption bands for lignin,
polysaccharide, and protein were identified at 2,140 and 1,670 nm, 2,270, 1,720, 1,590, and 1,216 nm, and 2,350 nm, respectively.
Absorbance at 1,670 nm, peculiar band of aromatics, showed a positive correlation with lignin concentration, which suggested
the relative increment of aromatics due to condensed lignin in decomposing litters. Absorbance at 2,140 nm, characterized
as the C–H bond in HRC = CHR, showed a negative correlation with lignin concentration, which suggested the decrements of some
structures such as side-chains in lignin polymers unrelated to aromatics. Absorbance at 2,270, 1,720, and 1,216 nm, specified
to O–H/C–O/C–H bonds in saccharide, might reflect the change of polysaccharide during decomposition because they showed a
positive correlation to polysaccharide concentration. In the same way, absorbance at 2,350 nm, identified to the C–H/CH2 bonds in protein, showed a negative correlation to nitrogen concentration in decomposing litters, which might indicate that
the C–H/CH2 bonds in protein decreased with decomposition due to microbial consumption of carbon in protein. Our findings suggested the
possibility that the spectral changes indicate the litter digestibility during decomposition and that also explain the compositional
change in decomposing litters. 相似文献

Characterization of the major components in bark from five Japanese tree species for chemical utilization 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary Characterization of the major components in bark from five Japanese tree species, Pinus densiflora, Larix leptolepis, Cryptomeria japonica, Fagus crenata, Quercus mongolica, was performed from a viewpoint of chemical utilization. Relatively high yields of formaldehyde-condensable polyphenols were
obtained from the bark of P. densiflora (22.5%) and L. leptolepis (20.8%) by 1% NaOH extraction. The alkali insoluble residue contained large amounts of neutral sugars (26.1%–40.7%) in comparison
with untreated bark. Glucose was generally the dominant sugar in the residue, although the major neutral sugar content in
F. crenata was xylose. By successive treatment with 1% NaOH and acid chlorite, a marked decrease in lignin content was observed in P. densiflora. In the other tree species, bark lignin was resistant to acid chlorite treatment to a certain extent.

Naturally regenerated trees in young Cryptomeria japonica plantations were investigated in 141 quadrats of 10 × 50 m within a watershed of 1,000 ha, and factors affecting their composition
and abundance were examined. The species composition of naturally regenerated trees was classified into four types. Dominant
species were Swida controversa, Magnolia hypoleuca and Pterocarya rhoifolia in Type A1, Betula maximowicziana, M. hypoleuca, Quercus crispula and Castanea crenata in Type A2, Q. serrata and C. crenata in Type B1, and Pinus densiflora in Type B2. The results of path analysis showed significant influences of previous forest type and geology among the factors
that correlated with the species composition of naturally regenerated trees; previous forest type in particular showed a higher
absolute path coefficient value. Species composition types of naturally regenerated trees corresponded to the previous forest
types: Types (A1 and A2) corresponded to the natural forests composed of Thujopsis dolabrata var. hondai, Fagus crenata, Aesculus turbinata, etc., Type B1 corresponded to the secondary Q. crispula and Q. serrata forest, and Type B2 corresponded to the secondary P. densiflora forest, respectively. The abundance of naturally regenerated trees was strongly affected by geology; i.e., plantations on
soft-sedimentary dacitic tuff contained great amounts of colonizing P. densiflora trees. 相似文献

To examine the effect of the spatial distribution of litter and intergeneric interaction on the spatial distribution of agaric
fruiting bodies, we surveyed spatial distribution of fruiting bodies of Agaricales in a mixed forest dominated by Pinus densiflora (Sieb et Zucc.) from July 1999 to July 2002. Three 10 × 10-m plots with different vegetation and positions on a slope were
established: Top-Mixed, Top-Pinus, and Bottom-Pinus. Litter thickness in the Top-Mixed plot was the thinnest among the three plots. During the study, we counted 3563 fruiting
bodies in 27 genera from 13 families. The dominant genera were Collybia, Marasmius, Mycena, Rhodophyllus, and Lactarius, and showed an intrageneric aggregated distribution at a quadrat size of 1 m2. Collybia and Lactarius formed fruiting bodies in arcs. The spatial distribution of Collybia, Marasmius, and Lactarius fruiting bodies tended to overlap in two consecutive years. In the Top-Mixed plot, the number of Marasmius fruiting bodies increased with increasing litter thickness, while that of Lactarius decreased with litter thickness. Values of C′δ indicating degree of overlap were calculated for particular pairs of dominant fungal genera and the values differed between
plots and years: for example, fruiting bodies of Marasmius and Mycena in the Bottom-Pinus plot were distributed aggregately in 1999 and 2000, but randomly in 2001, while they were distributed segregatedly in the
Top-Pinus plot every year. Our study suggests that the spatial distribution of fungal fruiting bodies is affected by the distribution
of litter in and between plots and that fungal flora is affected by vegetation. 相似文献

The chemical characteristics and the suitability for enzymatic saccharification in the spent culture media (SCM) of Auricularia polytricha were examined in order to investigate the utilization of the SCM as a biomass resource for alternative energy production.
Wood meals from 3 hardwood species (Quercus serrata, Betula platyphylla var. japonica, and Alnus japonica) and 2 softwood species (Pinus densiflora and Cryptomeria japonica) were used as basal culture media. Dry weight of fruiting bodies were higher in the cultural media made of B. platphylla var. japonica and A. japonica. Amount of weight loss in media showed almost the same value among the cultural media made of 5 species, except for media
made of C. japonica. The amounts of the main chemical components (Klason lignin, holocellulose, and α-cellulose) in SCM showed lower values than
those in wood meals (WM) and fresh media (FM). After saccharification of the media by Meiselase for 48 h, the hydrolysis weight
decrease dramatically increased in SCM. The amount of glucose in SCM ranged from 10.9 to 19.2 g/100 g dry biomass. The highest
amount of glucose was obtained in the SCM from B. platyphylla var. japonica. These results indicate that SCM of A. polytricha is a suitable biomass material to produce fermentable sugars for bio-ethanol production. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of Ips typographus (L.) damage on initial litter quality parameters and subsequent decomposition rates of oriental spruce tree species [Picea orientalis (L.) Link]. The needle litter was collected from highly damaged, moderately damaged and control stands on two aspects (north
and south) and two slope position (top and bottom) on each aspect. The litter was analyzed for initial total carbon, lignin
and nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and manganese) concentrations. The variability in nitrogen
and calcium concentrations and ratios of C:N, lignin:N and lignin:Ca was significantly affected by the insect damaged levels.
While nitrogen concentrations in needle litter increased with increasing insect damage (and consequently the ratios of C:N
and lignin:N decreased), calcium concentrations decreased (and consequently the ratio of lignin:Ca increased). Aspect and
slope positions explained most of the variability in carbon, lignin, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and manganese concentrations
and lignin:P ratio between all studied stands. Litter decomposition was studied in the field using the litterbag technique.
The litter from highly damaged stands showed highest decomposition rates followed by moderately damaged and control stands.
The mass loss rates were significantly positively correlated with initial nitrogen concentration and negatively with C:N and
lignin:N ratios. The effects of microclimate resulting from canopy damage on litter decomposition was also examined at the
same time using standard litter with the same litter quality parameters, but they showed no significant differences among
the insect damage levels indicating that alteration of the litter quality parameters produced by I. typographus damage played a more important role than altered microclimate in controlling needle litter decomposition rates. However,
changes in microclimate factors due to topography influenced decomposition rates. 相似文献

The decay rates of Japanese Konara Oak (Quercus serrata Murray) and Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.) leaf litter were monitored for one year. It aimed to compare the decomposition of leaf litter using microcosms
set up in the field (FM) and in the greenhouse (GM), with the litterbag (LB) method as control. Results showed that incubation
setting affected the decay rate (k), respiration rates and the changes in the concentrations of nitrogen (N). Thek value ofQuercus in FM was higher than LB, while thek value ofPinus was higher in the LB than in FM. The decay ratesk for both species, however, were significantly lower in GM than FM and LB, clearly suggesting that decay rate was inhibited
in the greenhouse. Significant differences in microclimatic variables and soil biological activities (soil respiration) existed
between greenhouse and field microcosms, hence, the decay rates were affected. The N concentrations for both litter types
increased as decomposition proceeded. Decomposition studies using laboratory microcosm approach alone may lead to erroneous
conclusions especially if no appropriate field studies are conducted along with it.

Rates of weight loss and nutrient (N and P) release patterns were studied in the leaf litter of the dominant tree species
(Ailanthus grandis, Altingia excelsa, Castanopsis indica, Duabanga sonneriatioides, Dysoxylum binectariferum, Mesua ferrea,
Shorea assamica, Taluma hodgsonii, Terminalia myriocarpa and Vatica lancefolia) of a tropical wet evergreen forest of northeast India. Nitrogen and phosphorus mineralization rate and decay pattern varied
significantly from species to species. In general, the decay pattern, characterized by using a composite polynomial regression
equation, exhibited three distinct phases of decay during litter decomposition—an initial slow decay phase (0.063% weight
loss day−1), followed by a rapid decay phase (0.494% weight loss day−1) and a final slow decay phase (0.136% weight loss day−1). The initial chemical composition of the litter affected decomposition rates and patterns. Species like D. sonneriatoides, D. binectariferum, and T. hodgsonii with higher N and P content, lower carbon and lignin content, and lower C:N ratio and lignin:N ratio exhibited relatively
faster decomposition rates than the other species, for example M. ferrea, C. indica and A. grandis. A slow decay rate was recorded for species such as M. ferrea, C. indica, and A. grandis. The initial N and P content of litter showed significant positive correlations with decay rates. Carbon and lignin content,
lignin:N, and C:N showed significant negative correlations with decay rates. Soil total N and P, and rainfall, soil temperature,
and soil moisture had positive correlations with decay rates. The rapid decomposition rates observed in comparison with other
different forest litter decay rates confirm that tropical wet evergreen forest species are characterized by faster decomposition
rates, indicating a faster rate of organic matter turnover and rapid nutrient cycling. 相似文献

Patterns of litter decomposition and nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) release in relation to various levels of canopy cover were examined using litterbags placed on the forest floor of northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) and red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) stands in northern Lower Michigan, USA. A series of experimental plots consisted of four levels of canopy cover treatments, i.e. clearcut, 25% (50% during first sampling year), 75%, and uncut. Mass loss from decomposing leaves was higher for oak leaves in red oak stands (approximately 60% loss of the original mass) than for pine needles in red pine stands (approximately 40% loss of the original mass) during the 2 year study period. Leaf mass loss in the clearcut red oak treatment was significantly higher than in the uncut red oak treatment. In contrast, no canopy cover effects on litter mass loss were found in red pine stands. Nitrogen concentrations in decomposing litter increased during the 2 year period in all canopy cover treatments in both stand types, but they did not differ significantly among canopy cover treatments. These results indicate that various levels of red oak and red pine canopy removal generally have a minor impact on litter decomposition and nutrient (N and P) release during the first 2 years following canopy manipulation, except in red oak clearcuts. 相似文献

The effect of incubation setting (greenhouse: GM and field: FM microcosms) on nutrient element dynamics during decomposition
of Japanese Konara Oak (Quercus serrata Murray) and Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb et. Zucc.) litter was studied. Results show a disparity in relative concentrations and amounts of the same type of litter
when incubated in different settings. The nutrient mobility, however, showed similar trend. The order of elemental mobility
after 12 months forQuercus in FM was: P>K>Mg>C>Mn>Ca>N>Al>Cu>Zn>Fe; for GM it was: P>K>Mn>Mg>C>Ca>N>Al>Cu>Zn>Fe. ForPinus, elemental mobility in FM was: K>Mg>C>Mn>N>P>Cu>Zn>Al>Fe; while for GM was: K>C>Mn>N>Ca>Mg>Cu>Al>P>Zn>Fe. The elements inQuercus that lost their mass were P, K, Mg, Ca, Mn and C while those that increased were N, Cu, Al, Fe and Zn. ForPinus, K and Mg lost their nutrient mass while the other elements had increased or fluctuated but tended to increase. Three patterns
of nutrient mobility were observed: first, the concentration increased while the nutrient mass (absolute amount) decreased;
second, both concentration and nutrient mass increased; third, the concentration and nutrient mass decreased. On tracing nutrient
mobility over time, the linear regression of nutrient element mass and litter element mass was preferred over the carbon to
element ratios because the former gave a clearer picture of the relationship. On the over-all, the pattern of nutrient changes
in greenhouse microcosms were different from those observed in the field, hence nutrient cycling studies using greenhouse-microcosm
approach alone may give inaccurate results.

Five kinds of ammonia fungi were observed in a Pasania edulis forest after treatment with 1600g·m–2 of urea. The number of fungal fruiting bodies decreased with time, and disappeared completely within 6 weeks. The population of cellulose decomposing bacteria also decreased after urea treatment. Urea treatment brought about marked changes in soil pH, redox potential (Eh), and nitrogen content, but no significant changes were observed in carbon content. In this experiment, urea treatment promoted decomposition of branches, but inhibited decomposition of leaves. In urea-treated plots, the decomposition rate of leaves was lower than that of branches, and the decomposition rate of large branches was greater than that of small branches. However, in the control plots, the decomposition rate of leaves was greater than that of branches, and the decomposition rate of large branches was lower than that of small branches. This experiment indicated that litter (branch and leaf) decomposition was dependent on the texture and size of the litter components, and that ammonia fungi and cellulose decomposing bacteria were not closely related to the litter decomposition. 相似文献

In order to clarify the effects of tree species on organic matter dynamics in soil, we investigated the amount of forest floor
material, leaf litter decomposition rate, soil chemical characteristics, soil respiration rate and cellulose decomposition
rate in a Japanese cedar forest (cedar plot) and an adjacent Japanese red pine forest (pine plot) established on a flatland.
The amount of forest floor material in the cedar plot was 34.5 Mg ha−1 which was greater than that in the pine plot. Because the leaf litter decomposition rate was higher in the pine plot than
in the cedar plot, it is likely that the difference in the amount of forest floor material between the plots is caused by
the difference in the leaf litter decomposition rate. The C concentrations of soil in the cedar plot were 1.2–2.1 times higher
than those in the pine plot. Soil pH(H2O)s in the cedar plot were significantly higher than those in the pine plot. The soil respiration rates and the rates of mineralized
C in the cedar plot byin vitro incubation were higher than those in the pine plot. From this result, it is assumed that soil organic matter in the cedar
plot was decomposed relatively faster compared with the pine plot. Furthermore, microbial activities, which were reflected
as cellulose decomposition rates in the cedar plot, were higher than those in the pine plot.

The chemical compositions of xylem saps ofCryptomeria japonica D. Don andPinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. were studied. One-year-old seedlings of these species were transplanted into hydroponics in the middle of
June. Some seedlings were retained in the nursery. Two nitrogen sources, ammonium and nitrate nitrogen, were applied separately.
The samplings of xylem saps were made at the end of July. Saps were collected from both roots and tops of the seedlings using
a pressure chamber. InC. japonica, the fact that the translocation form of nitrogen from the roots to shoots mainly was citrulline was confirmed. The result
ofP. densiflora in this study showed that glutamine was the predominant compound of nitrogen translocation. Total nitrogen ofP. densiflora had a large value in the series of ammonium. Glutamine increased in the ammonium series of both species. Nitrate nitrogen
was found in whole samples ofC. japonica, and was not found inP. densiflora. As the result of cations in the saps, monovalent cations were rich inP. densiflora, and divalent cation concentrations were greater inC. japonica. The idea that the great oxygen requirement ofP. densiflora produces the negative charge gives an explanation of the great retention of divalent cations in the roots. The idea that
the mineral distribution indicates root activity related to its negative charge production also is considered a possibility. 相似文献

Colonization of leaf litter by ligninolytic fungi and relationships between mass loss and chemical qualities of surface leaf
litter were examined in Acacia mangium plantations and adjacent secondary forests in southern Sumatra Island, Indonesia. Leaves were collected from eight A. mangium plantations of different ages and three secondary forests. Partly decomposed leaves beneath the surface leaf litter were
used to measure the bleached area which indicated colonization by ligninolytic fungi. Surface leaf litter was used to measure
initial chemical content and subjected to the pure culture decomposition test. The bleached area was greater in secondary
forests than in A. mangium plantations. Nitrogen content was higher in all the A. mangium plantations than in the secondary forests, and acid unhydrolyzable residue (AUR) content was generally higher in the A. mangium plantations than in the secondary forests. The bleached area of leaf litter was negatively correlated with nitrogen content
of surface leaf litter at all sites, indicating an inhibition of the colonization by ligninolytic fungi of leaves with higher
nitrogen content. In a pure culture decomposition test inoculating a ligninolytic fungus to surface leaf litter, mass loss
of leaves was negatively correlated with AUR content of surface leaf litter. Mass loss of leaves and AUR was not significantly
related to nitrogen content. These results suggested that higher nitrogen content in A. mangium leaf litter had a negative effect by colonization of ligninolytic fungi, but the effect of high N in A. mangium leaf litter on the decomposition of leaf litter and AUR remained unsolved. 相似文献

It is important to study the effect of tree density on the substrate quality and decomposition rate of leaf litter in plantations. In 2002, an experiment of the effects of thinning intensities at four different levels (i.e., 0 (I), 35.7% (II), 49.2% (III), and 64.2% (IV)) on undergrowth were carried out in an 18-year-old Pinus tabulaeformis plantation at an initial density of 3130 trees/hm2 in the middle of the hills of Yingpan, Yanqing County, Beijing. Three years later, the rates of decomposition, the amount of nutrients returned, and the characteristics of leaf litter were compared by a litter bag method. The results show that the annual loss of dry matter of leaf litter in plots I, II, III, and IV was 25.81%, 26.25%, 27.68%, and 25.96%, respectively. The turnover of leaf litter was 10.04, 9.84, 9.24, and 9.97 years, respectively. Therefore, it is feasible and convenient to evaluate the effect of thinning on the rate of decomposition. In the first two months, the N, P, K, and Mg nutrients were released quickly. During the entire observation period of 14 months, the return of both N and Mg nutrients in the four plots exhibited a release-accumulation type of cycle. The return of P and K indicated a trend of release-accumulation and a relative balance. However, the return of Ca was far different from that of the other nutrients in the four plots. The total nutrient return of the four elements N, P, K, and Mg in the plots was 10.806, 31.016, 31.798, and 39.365 g/kg, respectively. Specifically, the quality of leaf litter in plot I was the worst in that N and Ca accumulated only 2.567 and 0.767 g/kg, respectively. Thinning did decrease the ratios of lignin to N and C to N and accelerated the rate of decomposition of leaf litter. The content of crude ash in leaf litter was enhanced by thinning, which prevented acid material, such as tannins and resins, from returning to the soil. The effect of thinning intensity was evaluated by the ratio of lignin to N, the ratio of C to N, and the ash content in leaf litter. 相似文献

Abstract Rates of litter decomposition and nutrient release from litter provide valuable information on the capacity of different tree species to replenish soil nutrients in degraded tropical areas. Leaf litter decomposition, leaf litterfall, plantation floor leaf litter, and mulch performance were studied for four indigenous timber species, Virola koschnyiWarb, Dipteryxpanamensis(Pittier) Record and Mell, Terminalia amazonia(J.F. Gmel.) Exell., and Albizia gua-chapele(H.B.K.) Little, grown in mixed and monospecific plantations in the Atlantic humid lowlands of Costa Rica. Terminalia amazonialitter decomposed the fastest: no litter remained after 6 months. After 12 months, D. panamensis, A. guachapele, and the mixed litter decomposed completely, while 15% of the original weight of V. koschnyilitter remained. Differences in decomposition rates were closely related to leaf nutrient content. Total annual leaf litterfall was highest in T. amazonia(872.9 g/m2), followed by D. panamensis, V. koschnyi, and the mixed plots. A. guachapelehad the lowest leaf litterfall (236.0 g/m2). The highest plantation-floor leaf litter was found in V. koschnyiand D. panamensis.Both litterfall and plantation-floor litter accumulation fluctuated least in the mixed plots. A. guachapeleand D. panamensismulch most positively affected maize seedling growth, followed by the mixed mulch. Recommendations are drawn from the results to suggest species choice for sustainable land management in the region. 相似文献

In order to explore the release of nutrients and the effects of global warming on the decomposition rate of forest litter,
an experiment is designed to reciprocally decompose forest foliar litter in two sites across climatic zones: Mt. Jianfengling
in Hainan Province in the tropics and Mt. Dinghushan in Guangdong Province in the subtropics. The two sites have similar altitudes,
soil types, annual mean rainfall and seasonality of dry and wet. The main difference between these two sites is the annual
mean temperature with the difference of 3.7°C. Foliar litters of 10 native dominant tree species have been collected respectively
from the two sites and divided into single-species litter and mixed litter. They are decomposed reciprocally in the two sites.
The results indicate that litter decomposes in the tropical site 1.36–3.06 times more rapidly than in the subtropical site.
Apparent Q
10, calculated on the basis of the temperature difference between the two sites, ranges from 3.7 to 7.5. The return amount of
N, P and C will increase by 32.42, 1.033 and 741.1 kg/hm2, respectively in Mt. Dinghushan in the first year’s litter decomposition under the prevailing temperature condition. Only
in Mt. Dinghushan is the correlation between decomposition rate constant and initial litter quality high and significant in
the ratio of lignin to N, lignin, the ratio of lignin to P, HLQ and C. This is not the case at Mt. Jianfengling.
