The changes of ASOM fractions and soil nutrients in the first rotation site and the second rotation site of Chinese fir plantation and the native broad-leaved forest were investigated and analyzed by soil sampling at the Huitong Experimental Station of Forestry Ecology (at latitude 26°48′N and longitude 109°30′E under a subtropical climate conditions), Chinese Academy of Sciences in March, 2004. The results showed that values of ASOM fractions for the Chinese fir plantations were lower than those for the broad-leaved forest. The contents of easily oxidisable carbon (EOC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) for the first rotation of Chinese fir plantation were 35.9%, 13.7%, 87.8% and 50.9% higher than those for the second rotation of Chinese fir plantation, and were 15.8%, 47.3%, 38.1% and 30.2% separately lower than those for the broad-leaved forest. For the three investigated forest sites, the contents of MBC and WSOC had a larger decrease, followed by WSC, and the change of EOC was least. Moreover, soil physico-chemistry properties such as soil nutrients in Chinese fir plantation were lower than those in broad-leaved forest. It suggested that soil fertility declined after Chinese fir plantation replaced native broad-leaved forest through continuous artificial plantation.展开更多

It was found that total soil organic carbon (TSOC), easilyoxidisable carbon (EOC) and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) under bamboo plantation wereincreased, but microbial biomass carbon (MBC) was decreased. On the contrary, Chinese fir induceddeclines of all fractions of C including TSOC, EOC, WSOC and MBC. The percentages of the activefractions of soil C (EOC and WSOC) were increased in the plantations as compared to the nativebroad-leaved forest, but proportions of soil organic C as MBC were decreased. It could be concludedthat bamboo plantation had a great ability of not only fixing C but also accelerating soil C poolcycle, improving nutrient and microorganism activity; therefore, it is a good ecosystem and could berecommended for wide development. Chinese fir would shrink the soil C pool and deteriorate soilbiological fertility, so it did not benefit CO2 fixing and land sustainable utilization.展开更多
