马尾松人工林林窗内土壤动物作用下凋落叶C元素的动态变化

土壤动物对凋落叶养分元素动态具有重要影响,但这种影响受控于凋落叶质量及环境条件。为了解不同大小林窗(G1:100 m^2、G2:400 m^2、G3:900 m^2、G4:1 600 m^2)内土壤动物对凋落叶中C元素季节动态的影响,采用凋落叶分解袋的方法,于凋落叶第一年分解的冬、春、夏、秋四个季节,研究了3.00和0.04 mm孔径凋落叶袋中长江上游马尾松人工林两种植物马尾松(Pinus massoniana)、樟(Cinnamomum camphora)凋落叶中的C元素动态特征。结果表明:土壤动物明显促进了2种凋落叶C的释放,且中型林窗(G3:900 m^2)内凋落叶C损失率更高;不同季节土壤动物对凋落叶中C释放量的影响存在显著差异:土壤动物对凋落叶C释放的影响主要在春季和夏季,秋、冬两季部分林窗出现C富集现象;相对于针叶植物凋落叶,土壤动物对阔叶植物凋落叶中C元素动态的影响更为显著。这些结果说明中型林窗内土壤动物对凋落叶C释放有显著影响,在马尾松低效林改造过程中,可利用中型林窗这一显著作用,引入更容易被土壤动物分解的乡土阔叶树种樟,加速马尾松人工林的物质循环。
