Distribution patterns of vegetation biomass and nutrients bio-cycle in alpine tundra ecosystem on Changbai Mountains, Northeast China

A study was conducted to test the correlation between biomass and elevation and the differences in concentration and storks of nutrients among five vegetation types （Felsenmeer alpine tundra vegetation-FA, Lithic alpine tundra vegetation-LA, Typical alpine tundra vegetation-TA, Meadow alpine tundra vegetation-MA, and Swamp alpine tundra vegetation-SA） on alpine tundra of Changbai Mountains, Jilin Province, China in growing seasons of 2003, 2004 and 2005. The biomass of 43 mono-species and soil nutrients in alpine tundra ecosystem were also investigated. Dominant species from Ericaceae （such as Rhododendron chrysanthum and Vaccinium jliginosum var. alpinum） were taken to analyze organ biomass distribution. Result showed that the biomass and elevation had a significant correlation （Biomass-237.3 in（Elevation） ＋494.36; R^2=0.8092; P〈0.05）. No significant differences were found in phosphorus and sulphur concentrations of roots, stems and leaves among the five vegetation types. There were significant differences in nitrogen and phosphorus stocks of roots, stems and leaves and in sulphur stock of stems and leaves among TA, MA, and SA vegetation types （p〈0.05）. The nutrient stock of five vegetations was averagely 72.46 kg.hm^-2, of which N, P, S were 48.55, 10.33 and 13.61 kg·hm^-2, respectively. Soil N and S concentrations in meadow alpine tundra soil type was significantly higher than those in other four soil types （Cold desert alpine tundra soil, Lithic alpine tundra soil, Peat alpine tundra soil, and Gray alpine tundra soil）. Phosphorous concentration in SA type was higher （p〈0.05） than in other types. Soil nutrient stock （0-20cm） was averagely 39.59 t.hm^-2, of which N, P, S were 23.74, 5.86, 9.99 t·hm^-2, respectively.     

长白山北坡土壤线虫的群落结构特征

对长白山北坡不同海拔（7262200m）的阔叶红松林、红松云冷杉混交林、暗针叶林、岳桦林和高山苔原中土壤线虫进行了研究。在2001、2002年春天,分别在样地的枯枝落叶层、不同深度的表层土（0-5、5-10、10．20cm）掘取土壤样品进行分析。土壤线虫群落中共有27个科,60个属,其中Plectus和Tylenchus两属为优势属,优势属线虫主要分布在枯枝落叶层中。土壤线虫数量与土壤含水量显著相关（r=0．357;p〈0.01）。在不同深度和植被群落中丰富度最大的是食细菌类群线虫。土壤线虫总数和营养类群在不同土壤深度中差异显著（p〈0.05）;食真菌类群／食细菌类群（F／B）和食真菌类群数量与食细菌类群数量之和与植食类群数量之比（WI）在不同深度也存在明显差异（P〈0．05）。总之,土壤水分是影响土壤线虫密度和营养组成的最主要因素之一,海拔梯度并未显著影响土壤线虫的生态指标,如营养多样性和Shannon指数。     

川西北高寒沙地不同恢复年限对土壤机械组成的影响

采用时空替代法,即在立地条件一致或相近的条件下,在一定的空间尺度内,选择不同地点上不同治理年限的流动沙地来代替同一生长地点上的不同恢复年限的流动沙地。以若尔盖县高寒沙地示范区内未治理流动沙地、生态恢复年限分别为3年、5年、10年的高寒沙地作为研究对象。结果表明,高寒流动沙地与草地土壤颗粒含量差异明显,随着治理时间的递增,流动沙地土壤黏粒、粉砂等细颗粒物质含量逐渐增加,不同深度的土壤颗粒逐渐演变为表层较下层细,可能是受植被恢复地表植被影响所致,通过10年的沙化治理,流动沙地的土壤得到一定的改善,但从本试验看出土过程在川西北高寒地区是一个缓慢的过程,防大于治。因此,应继续加强对脆弱区生态系统的保护和管理,避免荒漠化导致土壤生态环境的难以恢复。

The influence of land-use change on the organic carbon distribution and microbial respiration in a volcanic soil of the Chilean Patagonia

Land-use changes can modify soil carbon contents. Depending on the rate of soil organic matter (SOM) formation and decomposition, soil-vegetation systems can be a source or sink of CO₂. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of land-use change on SOM distribution, and microbial biomass and respiration in an Andisol of the Chilean Patagonia. Treatments consisted of degraded natural prairie (DNP), thinned and pruned Pinus ponderosa plantations (PPP), and unmanaged second-growth Nothofagus pumilio forest (NPF). The soil was classified as medial, amorphic, mesic Typic Hapludands. Soil microbial respiration and microbial biomass were determined in the laboratory from soil samples taken at 0–5, 5–10, 10–20 and 20–40 cm depths obtained from three pits excavated in each treatment. Physical fractionation of SOM was performed in soil of the upper 40 cm of each treatment to obtain the three following aggregate-size classes: macroaggregates (>212 μm), mesoaggregates (212–53 μm) and microaggregates (<53 μm). Plant C content was 68% higher in PPP than in DNP and 635% higher in NPF than in PPP. Total soil and vegetation C content in both DNP and PPP were less than half of that in NPF. Total SOC at 0–10 cm depth decreased in the order DNP (7.82%) > NPF (6.16%) > PPP (4.41%), showing that land-use practices affected significantly (P < 0.01) SOC stocks. In all treatments, microbial biomass C and respiration were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the upper 5 cm. Soil microbial respiration was also correlated positively with microbial biomass C and SOC. The different land uses affect the formation of organic matter, SOC and microbial biomass C, which in turn will affect soil microbial respiration. Conversion of DNP to PPP resulted in a 44% decrease of SOC stocks in 0–10 cm mineral soil. The largest amount of SOC was stabilized within the mesoaggregate fraction of the less disturbed system, NPF, followed by PPP. In the long term, formation of stable mesoaggregates in soils protected from erosion can behave as C sinks.     

晋西北黄土丘陵区4种植被类型土壤水分含量的变化特征研究

不同植被类型对于陆地生态系统的水分循环具有重要的调节作用。以晋西北黄土丘陵区偏关县境内的小叶杨林地、柠条林地、草地和撂荒地4种植被类型为研究对象,采用土钻法分别测定0～600cm不同土层的土壤水分含量,分析了晋西北不同植被类型的土壤水分含量的垂直分布特征及4种植被含水量的差异比较。结果表明：（1）在0—600cm土层中,平均土壤水分含量因植被类型不同表现显著差异（P〈0．05）,依次表现为小叶杨〉草地〉撂荒地〉柠条;（2）在0—600cm土层中,土壤水分含量随着土层深度的增加呈现先逐渐降低后趋于稳定的趋势,且同一植被类型不同土层深度间土壤水分含量差异显著（P〈0．05）,同一土层不同植被类型间的土壤水分含量也有显著差异（P〈0．05）;（3）研究区土壤剖面可分为易变层（0～100cm）、活跃层（100～200cm）、次活跃层（200—300em）和相对稳定层（300—600em）。在晋西北黄土丘陵区植被恢复中,应根据本区域土壤水分变化特点,选择适宜的植物种类,采取乔一草或乔一灌一草相结合的植被配置模式,以减少该区域土壤水分的过度消耗,这对于改善当地植被的生态效益具有重要意义。     

Soil properties and physiographic factors controlling the natural vegetation re-growth in a disturbed catchment of the Central Spanish Pyrenees

Large changes in land use have occurred in the Central Spanish Pyrenees during the twentieth century. This mountain area supported an intense human use since the Middle Ages, that greatly transformed the natural landscape. The land uses changed dramatically during the first half of the twentieth century, due to major socioeconomic forces which lead to depopulation and land abandonment. Since then, a process of natural vegetation recovery has taken place. The anthropogenic impact during centuries deteriorated the soil quality, threatening the sustainability of agroecosystems and the natural vegetation re-growth. In this study, a soil survey was performed to identify the soil types and the physico-chemical properties of the soil that are relevant for maintaining the soil function for the recovery of vegetation after land abandonment. The study was conducted in the Arnás River catchment, which is representative of the region. The highest cation exchange capacity (CEC), nutrients, water retention, water availability and infiltration rates, as well as the lowest pH and carbonates, occurred in Lithic Hapludolls and Calcic Haploxerolls at the shady aspect, under a forest cover. Lithic Ustochrepts and Lithic Xerorthents on the sunny aspect, which were covered by shrubs, were of lesser quality than were the deeper and better-developed soils on the shady aspect. This is seen as an evidence of different patterns of soil degradation, which conditioned the re-growth of natural vegetation after land abandonment. The results provide insights into the main soil factors that have affected the re-establishment of natural vegetation in recent years. Recommendations are given for designing effective strategies for soil conservation after land abandonment in similar mountain environments.     

Impact of ponderosa pine afforestations on soil organic matter (SOM) in semiarid steppes of western Patagonia,Argentina

The western steppe of Patagonia, Argentina, is being afforested with conifers since long ago. However, the effects of this land-use change on some soil parameters are still unknown. We determined soil organic matter (SOM) and root abundance at different soil depths, in 29 paired steppe-ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) stands planted at different times and densities between the 36°43′ and 44°8′S, and the 71°29′ and 70°35′W, in Patagonia, Argentina. SOM was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in steppe than in afforestations at upper soil horizons (0–30 cm soil depth), and similar at deeper depths. Soil OM was also higher in steppe as compared to sparse/young afforestation stands. Denser/older stands showed equal or slightly higher SOM values as compared to steppe. While root abundance was higher (p < 0.05) in afforestations than in steppe at all but in the superficial soil horizon, it has not yet significantly contributed to SOM formation. This study contributes to the understanding of how ponderosa pine afforestations, planted on a steppe of Patagonia, affect SOM, adding useful information for other areas of the world in which afforestations replace native vegetation.

深圳丘陵地带不同植被类型森林土壤有机碳组分和团聚体分布特征研究

研究森林土壤有机碳组分和团聚体分布特征,对摸清森林土壤结构形成及其碳稳定机制有重要科学意义。本研究以深圳市丘陵地带针叶林、阔叶人工林和次生阔叶林等3种不同植被类型、70个调查点森林土壤为研究对象,各调查点按0~10 cm和＞10~30 cm剖面进行采样,对土壤有机碳组分和团聚体含量进行分析。结果表明,3种植被类型表层土壤（0~10 cm）的有机质（OM）和全氮（TN）含量存在显著差异（P＜0.05）,而亚表层土壤（＞10~30 cm）养分间的差异均未达到显著水平。不同植被类型土壤各有机碳组分均存在差异,表层土壤有机碳组分均高于亚表层,且以活性有机碳含量最高。此外,不同植被类型表层土壤间的差异主要体现在微团聚体上（＜0.25 mm）,亚表层土壤则主要体现在微团聚体和1~2 mm团聚体上。除表层土壤电导率（EC）与惰性有机碳间的相关性外,两层土壤的EC、OM和TN含量与4种有机碳组分均呈极显著正相关（P＜0.001）;＞10 mm团聚体对有机碳矿化有显著正向调控,＞2~5 mm团聚体则表现为显著负影响。由此认为,3种植被类型间土壤养分和有机碳组分含量存在差异,且表层土壤的含量总是高于亚表层;不同土壤团聚体间的差异主要体现在微团聚体上;土壤养分含量是调节有机碳矿化的关键因子。     

黄土区人工与天然植被对凋落物量和土壤有机碳变化的影响

在黄土丘陵区选择从耕地、草地、灌木林到乔木林样地,不同样地内设立1 m × 1 m(乔木10 m×10 m)的样方,分析样方内凋落物积累量、碳氮含量、土壤有机碳(SOC)和可溶性碳(DOC)含量变化.结果表明:天然草地、灌木林、乔木林凋落物积累量依次为5.3,12.1和32.4 t·hm-2;但人工灌木林和乔木林的凋落物积累量分别为6.7和11.4 t·hm-2,分别是天然灌木林和乔木林的1/2和1/3.随着植被的恢复,天然植被凋落物的C/N高于人工植被(刺槐林除外).与耕地SOC(4.67 g·kg-1)相比,天然灌木林地SOC提高5.9倍,人工灌木林地提高1.8倍;天然乔木林地提高8.0倍,而人工乔木林地仅提高4.0倍.凋落物积累量与0～20 cm土层土壤有机碳存在显著线性相关关系(R2>0.83),但20 cm以下线性相关关系不显著.凋落物积累量与0～10 cm土壤可溶性碳含量存在显著线性相关关系(R2>0.893),与10～60 cm土层线性相关关系不显著,与80～100 cm土壤可溶性碳存在显著线性负相关关系.

选择章古台地区三块典型樟子松(Pinussylvestrisvar.mongolica)人工固沙林为研究对象,采用实验室好氧培养法测定了不同土壤层次和在不同水分条件下的N矿化过程。结果表明:土壤0-60cm层N净矿化速率垂直变化范围为1.06–7.52mg·kg-1·month-1;土壤层次和含水量及其交互作用对土壤N净矿化速率的影响均达到差异显著(P<0.05);净矿化速率随着土壤层次的加深而明显下降,0-15cm层占总净矿化量的60.52%;半饱和与饱和含水量处理差异不显著,但均高于不加水处理。为此,在半干旱地区必须进一步加强开展调控生态系统N矿化、循环及其收支平衡影响因素的研究。图1表4参20。     

西藏色季拉山西坡不同海拔梯度表层土壤碳氮变化特性的研究

为探讨海拔梯度变化对表层土壤(0～20 cm)全量养分的影响,以西藏色季拉山西坡的高山灌丛(AS)、杜鹃林(RF)、急尖长苞冷杉林(AGSF1-6)和林芝云杉林(PLLF)为试验对象,研究了林地土壤有机碳(SOC)、全氮(TN)、微生物生物量碳(MBC)、微生物生物量氮(MBN)、易氧化态碳(ROC)和颗粒有机碳(POC)的变化特征.结果表明:在色季拉山西坡,高海拔植被类型具有较高的土壤活性有机碳含量和分配比例.表层土壤SOC随着海拔的升高而增大.SOC最大的是AS,为77.167 g·kg-1,PLLF最低为22.351 g·kg-1.表层土壤TN随着海拔的升高而增大.TN最大的是AS,为2.430g·kg-1,PLLF最低为0.830 g·kg-1.表层土壤C/N最大者为AGSF4,达到了43.57,最小者是PLLF为26.93.海拔和林分对土壤MBC和MBN含量具有显著的影响.随着海拔高度的降低,POC占TOC含量的比率从44.81％降至19.32％,ROC占TOC含量的比率从41.72％降至7.07％.不同林地POC和ROC含量与SOC含量具有正相关关系.土壤活性有机碳与土壤总有机碳显著相关,土壤易氧化有机碳与颗粒有机碳的相关性也比较显著(p＜0.05).     

Soil carbon and nutrient pools in Douglas-fir plantations 5 years after manipulating biomass and competing vegetation in the Pacific Northwest

We assessed changes in mineral soil total carbon (C) and nutrient (exchangeable Ca, K, Mg, and total N) pools to 60 cm depth 5 years after manipulating biomass and competing vegetation at two contrasting Douglas-fir plantations (Matlock, WA, and Molalla, OR). Biomass treatments included whole-tree (WT) and bole-only (BO) harvest, and competing vegetation control (VC) treatments were applied as either initial or annual herbicide applications. There were main effects of biomass removal and VC on the absolute change in soil pools of some elements at both sites, but significant effects were more prevalent at the lower soil quality Matlock site than the Molalla site, and were generally confined to the top 15 cm of soil. In all cases, treatment effects were associated with increases in C and nutrients following BO and initial VC treatments combined with little change in soil pools following WT and annual VC treatments. At the Matlock site, total soil pools (0-60 cm) of C, N, and Ca significantly increased in the BO and initial VC treatments, and Mg increased and K decreased regardless of treatment. At the Molalla site, soil C and nutrient pools did not change in response to treatments, but total soil Mg increased in all treatments during the study period. Correlation analyses indicated little influence of soil nutrient pools on early growth at Matlock likely because soil water is more limiting than nutrient availability at that site, but vegetation growth was correlated to nutrient pools at Molalla indicating changes in pools associated with harvesting and treatment could influence crop development in the future. These early results indicate low potential for intensive management practices to reduce mineral soil pools of C and nutrients, but there is uncertainty on the long-term growth response because treatments may have influenced nutrient storage in pools other than mineral soil.     

机械运输对伊朗北部山林陡峭集材道土壤的干扰

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of skid trail slope and traffic levels on soil disturbances at two soil depths (0–10 and 10–20 cm). The treatments were set at four traffic levels (2, 7, 12 and 20), two slope classes (<20% and >20%) and two soil depths (0–10 and 10–20 cm). Results show that skidder traffic, longitudinal slope and soil depth have significant effect on soil bulk density in skid trail. Comparison of average soil bulk density in different traffic levels shows that there are significant differences in average bulk density between different traffic levels and control (p<0.05). The average bulk densities in different slopes and soil depths are significantly increased with increase in traffic levels, maximized at 12 passes (p<0.05), but there are no significant differences between 12 and 20 passes. The interaction effects between traffic and soil depth are significant (F _0.05,3=0.109, p<0.001). For all traffic treatments, there are significant differences in soil moisture content between the two slope classes and the two depths (p<0.001). However, the interaction effects between traffic levels and slope classes are not significant (p >0.05), although skidder traffic and slope affected soil moisture content.

柳杉人工林皆伐后初期土壤有机碳和微生物量碳动态

本文研究了华西雨屏区柳杉人工林皆伐后1年内土壤有机碳和微生物量碳动态。结果表明:柳杉人工林皆伐林地土壤平均有机碳含量比对照(未皆伐林地)减小2.01 gC.kg-1,但差异不显著,而土壤平均有机碳储量及微生物量碳分别比对照减少20.97 tC.hm-2、6.68 mg.kg-1(P0.05);皆伐林地土壤有机碳含量及微生物量碳均随季节的变化而逐渐降低,但有机碳储量随季节的变化无明显减少趋势;皆伐林地土壤四季的有机碳含量、碳储量和微生物量碳差异不显著。皆伐对柳杉人工林土壤有机碳储量的影响主要表现在0~20 cm土层(P0.05);皆伐林地和对照在0~40 cm土层的微生物量碳和有机碳含量都表现出显著相关性(P0.05),但对照的相关性高于皆伐林地。总之,柳杉人工林转变为采伐迹地后,其初期土壤有机碳储量和微生物量碳都明显减少。
