摘要:

森林凋落物作为森林土壤腐殖质的主要来源, 在土壤腐殖质的形成中发挥着重要作用, 但不同森林类型凋落物因其含量、组成等的不同, 对土壤腐殖质的影响也不同。该研究以川西亚高山针叶林、阔叶林和针阔混交林3种不同森林类型为对象, 采用凋落物原位控制实验, 对比研究不同关键期凋落物去除对土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸含量及胡敏酸/富里酸、胡敏酸/可提取腐殖质的影响。主要结果: (1)土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸含量在不同森林类型中差异显著。土壤可提取腐殖质含量总体表现为针叶林>针阔混交林>阔叶林, 胡敏酸含量总体表现为针阔混交林>针叶林>阔叶林, 而富里酸含量则表现为针叶林>阔叶林>针阔混交林, 其中3种林型中土壤腐殖质的主要成分为富里酸, 总体均表现为富里酸型。不同采样时期也显著影响了土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸含量, 总体均表现为先升高后下降的趋势。除个别采样时期外, 凋落物去除总体降低了土壤可提取腐殖质、胡敏酸和富里酸的含量。(2)胡敏酸/富里酸和胡敏酸/可提取腐殖质的结果显示3种林型土壤总体腐殖化程度均较低, 整体表现为针阔混交林>阔叶林>针叶林, 凋落物去除在一定程度上有利于提高阔叶林与针阔混交林的腐殖质品质。(3)相关分析表明不同凋落物处理间土壤可提取腐殖质与土壤有机碳含量、全氮含量和土壤含水量呈显著正相关关系, 与温度呈显著负相关关系。综上所述, 短期的凋落物去除会降低土壤腐殖物质的含量, 但不同林型间由于凋落物类型差异会导致土壤腐殖质的不同变化, 说明土壤腐殖质的动态变化受凋落物类型以及环境因素的综合调控。因此, 关于凋落物变化对土壤腐殖质的影响还需进一步的长期研究。

Abstract:

Aims Forest litter are the main sources of soil humic substances, and different litter types can have differential effects on the formation and composition of soil humic substances. The aim of this study was to determine how variations in litter input would affect the dynamics of soil humic substances in subalpine forests of western Sichuan.
Methods A field in-situ litter manipulation experiment incorporating litter removal was established on sites of coniferous, broad-leaved, and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest stands. Measurements were made on the contents of soil extractable humic substances, humic acid, and fulvic acid; ratios of humic acid to fulvic acid and humic acid to humic substances were also computed.
Important findings The contents of extractable humic substances, humic acid and fulvic acid of soils varied significantly among forest types. The extractable humic substances content followed a descending order of coniferous forest > mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest > broad-leaved forest, and the humic acid content of mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest > coniferous forest > broad-leaved forest, and the fulvic acid content of coniferous forest > broad-leaved forest > mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. Fulvic acid was the predominant fraction of soil humic substances in all the three forest types. Time of measurements also significantly affected the contents of extractable humic substances, humic acid and fulvic acid, with an increasing trend for up to 1.5-year followed by decreases thereafter. With few exceptions, litter removal generally reduced the contents of extractable humic substances, humic acid and fulvic acid. The ratios of humic acid/fulvic acid and humic acid/extractable humic substances indicate low degree of humification for all the three forest types, which followed a descending order of mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest > broad-leaved forest > coniferous forest. Litter removal improved the humic substances quality in the broad-leaved and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests to some extent. Correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlations of soil extractable humic substances with soil organic carbon, total nitrogen and soil water content, and a significantly negative correlation with temperature. In summary, short-term litter removal reduced the soil humic substances content, with differential effects by different litter types. We draw conclusion that the dynamics of soil humic substances are comprehensively regulated by litter type and environmental factors. Therefore, the impact of litter changes on soil humic substances needs further long-term research.
