摘要:

采用长期定位跟踪实测方法, 比较分析了我国东北温带森林4个水热状况不同的立地条件(红松(Pinus koraiensis)人工林、硬阔叶林、蒙古栎(Quercus mongolica)林和林外空旷地)下11个温带树种粗木质残体(CWD)分解初期3年中的碳氮动态及其影响因子。测定树种包括: 白桦(Betula platyphylla)、山杨(Populus davidiana)、紫椴(Tilia amurensis)、胡桃楸(Juglans mandshurica)、蒙古栎、色木槭(Acer mono)、春榆(Ulmus japonica)、红松、黄檗(Phellodendron amurense)、兴安落叶松(Larix gmelinii)和水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshurica)。结果表明: 在分解过程中, 所有树种CWD的碳浓度没有明显变化(p > 0.05), 但其干重、碳密度、氮浓度和氮密度均随分解进程不同程度地减小, 碳氮比(C/N)则增大, 而且树种间差异显著(p < 0.001)。针叶树种的CWD分解速率显著地低于阔叶树种, 其中白桦的3年CWD干重损失率(65%)约为兴安落叶松(22%)的3倍。径级大的CWD分解较慢。CWD分解与碳氮释放均与CWD的初始N含量呈正相关, 而与初始C/N呈负相关。4个立地条件下CWD的干重和碳氮含量的变化差异不显著, 均表现出一致的变化趋势。该研究指出, 在分解初期的前3年中, CWD基本上是一个碳源和氮源。

Abstract:

Aims Our objectives were to quantify the loss of coarse woody debris (CWD) mass, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) and main influencing factors during the first three years of CWD decomposition of 11 major tree species in Chinese temperate forests based on an in situ long-term experiment.

Methods The experimental design was completely randomized blocking design of 11 species × 6 blocks × 4 sites. The species were white birch (Betula platyphylla), Amur linden (Tilia amurensis), Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), Manchurian walnut (Juglans mandshurica), cork-tree (Phellodendron amurense), Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica), Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii), Mono maple (Acer mono), Manchurian ash (Fraxinus mandshurica), popular (Populus davidiana), and Japanese elm (Ulmus japonica). The four sites with various environmental conditions were Mongolian oak forest, hardwood forest, Korean pine plantation and open field. We randomly selected three CWD samples for each tree species in each site and cut a 5 cm-thick disc at the end of the CWD in October 2005 and October 2008, respectively, for measuring C concentration, C density, N concentration, N density, C/N ratio and CWD density.

Important findings The C concentration of CWD did not change significantly during the early stage of CWD decomposition for all species (p > 0.05). The CWD mass, C density, N concentration and N density decreased during decomposition, whereas the C/N ratio increased. The differences in these parameters among the species were significant (p < 0.001). The coniferous species had significantly lower decomposition rates than the broad-leaved species. There was a negative correlation between size and decay rate. Loss of mass and release of C and N of the CWD were positively correlated with the initial N content, but negatively correlated with the initial C/N ratio. The changes of mass and C and N content of CWD had similar patterns at the four sites. Our results indicated that the CWD tended to be C and N sources during the first 3-year decomposition process.
