摘要:

探究轻度火烧后土壤呼吸及其组分变化规律以及对林地环境因子的影响, 可为林火干扰条件下滨海沙地人工林土壤碳排放估算提供科学依据。该研究以闽南沿海地区木麻黄(Casuarina equisetifolia)人工林火烧迹地和对照样地为研究对象, 于2019年9月至2020年8月采用LI-8100土壤碳通量自动测量系统测定土壤总呼吸速率(RS)和异养呼吸速率(RH), 同时测定10 cm深处的土壤温度(T10)、湿度(W10)和0-10 cm土壤的物理化学性质, 探讨轻度火烧对林地土壤RSRH以及非生物因子的影响。结果表明: 火烧迹地土壤全年平均RSRH分别为(2.37 ± 0.65)和(2.05 ± 0.63) μmol·m-2·s-1, 对照样地土壤全年平均RSRH分别为(2.86 ± 1.08)和(2.51 ± 1.08) μmol·m-2·s-1, 火烧迹地与对照样地土壤呼吸速率及其组分存在显著差异。除对照样地土壤RH外, 两块样地土壤呼吸速率及其组分与土壤温度呈极显著指数相关关系, 与土壤水分的相关关系均未达到显著水平。土壤呼吸速率与土壤可溶性有机碳、土壤微生物生物量氮含量呈极显著正相关关系, 与土壤可溶性有机氮含量呈显著正相关关系, 与土壤微生物生物量碳含量呈显著负相关关系。轻度火烧对木麻黄人工林土壤呼吸及其组分均有抑制作用, 说明林火干扰对森林生态系统土壤呼吸和碳循环具有重要影响。

Abstract:

Aims This study aimed to explore change in soil respiration and its components after mild fire, as well as its influence on forest environmental factors, which could provide a scientific basis for the estimation of the soil carbon emission of coastal sandy plantation under the condition of forest fire disturbance.

Methods We conducted an experiment in the Casuarina equisetifolia plantation burnt area and the control plot to measure the total soil respiration rate (RS) and heterotrophic respiration rate (RH) in the coastal areas of southern Fujian from September 2019 to August 2020, using the LI-8100 soil carbon flux automatic measurement system. Meanwhile, the soil temperature at the depth of 10 cm (T10), soil volumetric water content at the depth of 10 cm (W10), and soil physical and chemical properties at the depth of 0-10 cm were measured, in order to explore the effects of mild fire on soil RS, RH and abiotic factors.

Important findings There were significant differences in soil respiration rate and its components between the burned area and the control area. Our results showed that the annual average soil RS and RH in the burned area were (2.37 ± 0.65) and (2.05 ± 0.63) μmol·m-2·s-1, respectively. In contrast, the annual average soil RS and RH in the control plot were (2.86 ± 1.08) and (2.51 ± 1.08) μmol·m-2·s-1, respectively. Soil respiration rate and its components were significantly correlated with soil temperatures in the two plots, except soil RH in the control plot, but their relationships with soil moisture did not reach a significant level. There was significant positive correlation of soil respiration rate with dissolved organic carbon content, microbial biomass nitrogen content and dissolved organic nitrogen content, but significant negative correlation with microbial biomass carbon content. Overall, we found that mild burning inhibited soil respiration and its components in C. equisetifolia plantation, indicating that fire disturbance had an important impact on soil respiration and carbon cycle in forest ecosystems.
