Title: [Altitudinal changes of soil organic carbon fractions of evergreen broadleaved forests in Guanshan Mountain, Jiangxi, China]. Author: Xi D, Yu ZP, Xiong Y, Liu XY, Liu J. Journal: Ying Yong Sheng Tai Xue Bao; 2020 Oct; 31(10):3349-3356. PubMed ID: 33314824. Abstract: We investigated soil total organic carbon (TOC), recalcitrant organic carbon (ROC), and labile organic carbon (LOC) of evergreen broadleaved forests at different altitudes (400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 m) in Guanshan National Nature Reserve, Jiangxi Province, with the aim to understand their altitudinal distribution. The results showed that soil TOC, ROC and LOC contents were the highest in the surface layer and decreased with soil depth. With the increases of altitude, contents of soil TOC, ROC, readily oxidizable organic carbon (ROOC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), and particulate organic carbon (POC, 0-20 cm depth) increased with a peak at 1000 m and then decreased, whereas soil water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) contents and POC contents in 20-40 cm layer did not change. In 0-10 cm soil layer, the proportions of ROC to TOC at 800 and 1200 m were significantly higher than those at 400 and 1000 m, while the proportions of LOC to TOC were the highest at 400 m. The proportions of ROC and LOC to TOC in 10-40 cm layer showed a low-high-low tendency along the altitude, with peaks at 1000 and 600 m, respectively. Soil organic carbon fractions were positively correlated with soil moisture, microbial biomass nitrogen, and soluble organic nitrogen. A positive correlation was observed between LOC and ammonium concentration. Our results suggested that altitude significantly affected the distribution of soil organic fractions, with soil ROC, ROOC and MBC being more sensitive to altitudinal changes. Soil ROC and LOC at high altitude were prone to decomposition and transformation under conditions with sufficient water and nitrogen, which reduced soil carbon stability. It was essential to study the dyna-mics of soil organic carbon in high altitude forests under global warming scenarios. 对江西官山国家级自然保护区不同海拔(400、600、800、1000、1200 m)常绿阔叶林土壤总有机碳、惰性有机碳和活性有机碳进行分析,研究土壤有机碳的海拔分布特征。结果表明: 土壤总有机碳、惰性有机碳及活性有机碳含量在土壤表层最高,随土层加深而逐渐下降。随海拔升高,土壤总有机碳、惰性有机碳、易氧化有机碳、微生物生物量碳及0~20 cm土层土壤颗粒有机碳含量均出现先增后降的趋势, 且在海拔1000 m达到峰值,而土壤水溶性有机碳及20~40 cm土层土壤颗粒有机碳含量无明显变化。在0~10 cm土层,土壤惰性有机碳占总有机碳的比例在海拔800和1200 m显著高于海拔400和1000 m,而土壤活性有机碳占总有机碳的比例在海拔400 m最高;土壤惰性有机碳和活性有机碳占总有机碳的比例在10~40 cm土层随海拔的增加均呈先增加后降低的趋势,峰值分别在1000和600 m处。各组分有机碳与土壤湿度、微生物生物量氮、可溶性有机氮均呈显著正相关,而且活性有机碳与铵态氮呈显著正相关。海拔显著影响常绿阔叶林土壤有机碳组分的分布,惰性有机碳、易氧化有机碳和微生物生物量碳对海拔变化的响应更敏感。高海拔土壤惰性有机碳和活性有机碳在水分和氮素充足条件下易发生分解与转化,降低土壤碳库的稳定性。在全球气温持续升高背景下,要加强高海拔地区森林土壤有机碳的动态变化研究。.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
