摘要:

根系腐殖化过程中腐殖质的累积是土壤有机质形成和碳吸存的一个重要途径。该文采用凋落物袋法, 研究了川西亚高山粗枝云杉(Picea asperata)和岷江冷杉(Abies faxoniana)两种优势林木3个径级根系(0-2、2-5和5-10 mm)在冬季和生长季胡敏酸和富里酸累积特征。结果表明: 经过两年的腐殖化, 粗枝云杉和岷江冷杉根系胡敏酸和富里酸含量受径级显著影响, 并随径级增大而降低。不同径级间富里酸净累积量差异显著, 而胡敏酸净累积量差异不显著; 两个树种间胡敏酸和富里酸含量和净累积量差异不显著。胡敏酸在冬季降解而在生长季节累积, 其中粗枝云杉0-2、2-5和5-10 mm根系净累积量分别为8.0、10.8和7.6 g·kg-1, 岷江冷杉分别为15.2、8.0和7.8 g·kg-1。富里酸总体表现为降解, 其中粗枝云杉0-2、2-5和5-10 mm根系降解量为178.0、166.0和118.0 g·kg-1, 岷江冷杉分别为170.0、160.0和128.0 g·kg-1。根系径级对亚高山森林植物根系腐殖质累积有显著影响, 而径级影响与分解时期有一定关联。

Abstract: Aims Plant roots store large amount of terrestrial carbon, but little is known about humus formation processes during the decomposing root litter. Compared with coarse roots, fine roots have greater nutrients, which may be favorable to humus formation. The objective of the study was to examine how root diameters affect their humus formation processes. Methods In this study, in order to examine the accumulation of humic acid and fulvic acid of three root diameter classes (0-2, 2-5 and 5-10 mm) of two subalpine tree species (Abies faxoniana and Picea asperata) on the eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau of China, a two-year field experiment was conducted using a litter-bag method. Air-dried roots of A. faxoniana and P. asperata were placed in litterbags and incubated at 10 cm of soil depth in October 11th, 2013. Duplicate litter bags were collected in May (late winter) and October (late in the growing season) of 2014 and 2015, respectively. Concentrations of humic acid and fulvic acid were measured, and net accumulations were calculated for different periods. Important findings The concentrations of humic acid and fulvic acid were significantly influenced by root diameter that humic acid and fulvic acid decreased with increase in root diameter. Root diameter had significant effects on the net accumulation of humic acid, but not for the accumulation of fulvic acid. However, there were no significant differences in both humic acid and fulvic acid between A. faxoniana and P. asperata roots. Regardless of tree species, humic acid degraded during the winter but accumulated during the growing season. After two years of decomposition, the net accumulations of humic acid in 0-2, 2-5 and 5-10 mm roots were 8.0, 10.8 and 7.6 g·kg-1 for P. asperata and 15.2, 8.0 and 7.8 g·kg-1 for A. faxoniana, respectively. Conversely, the degradation of fulvic acid in 0-2, 2-5 and 5-10 mm roots were 178.0, 166.0 and 118.0 g·kg-1 for P. asperata and 170.0, 160.0 and 128.0 g·kg-1 for A. faxoniana, respectively. Our results suggest that diameter-associated variations in substrate quality could be an important driver for root litter humification in this subalpine forest. Moreover, diameter effect is dependent on decomposition period in this specific area.
