Forest floor samples were taken in January, April, July and October in 2002 and divided into undecomposed material （horizon Oi）, partially decomposed organic material （horizon Oe）, and fully decomposed organic material （horizon Oa）. Upon collection. DOC concentrations of samples were analyzed by a High Temperature TOC. The results showed that the annual average DOC concentration of Chinese fir （1341.7 mg·kg^-1） in the forest floor was higher than that of Castanopsis kawakamii （ 1178.9 mg·kg^-1）. Difference in DOC concentrations was observed among three horizons of the forest floor. DOC concentration of forest floor in the two forests was the highest in horizon Oe. Seasonal trends of DOC concentrations in different horizons of forest floors were similar and the maximal value occurred in autumn （or winter）. The concentration and temporal change of DOC in studied forests were probably related to the variation in moisture, temperature, biological activity and quantity of organic matter in the forest floor.展开更多

Mean annual carbon return through total litterfall over 3 years (from 1999 to 2001) was 5.097 t穐m2 in the NF, 4.337 t穐m2 in the CK and 2.502 t穐m2 in the CF respectively. Of the total carbon return in the three forests, leaf contribution accounted for 58.96%, 68.53% and 56.12% and twig 24.41%, 22.34% and 26.18%, respectively. The seasonal patterns of carbon return from total litterfall and leaf-litter were quite similar among the three forests. A peak of carbon input from litterfall in the NF and the CK occurred in spring except for the highest annual C return through branch litter of the NF in summer, while the CF showed the maximum C return in summer. The results of this study demonstrate that the natural forest has a greater C return through litterfall than monoculture plantations, which is beneficial to the increase of soil organic matter storage and the maintenance of soil fertility.展开更多

Annual net carbon sequestration was 13.639 and 6.599 t C·hm -2 a -1 , respectively, in the C. kawakamii and the C. lanceolata, among which the annual biomass C increment and the litterfall production was evenly distributed. To the annual net carbon sequestration, the contribution of stem (wood plus bark) increment was much lower, and that of branch increment was much higher in the C. kawakamii than in the C. lanceolata (26.6% versus 40.3%, and 11.5% versus 0.3%). In both plantation, the above and belowground litterfall accounted 60% and 40% respectively for the annual litterfall production, which was estimated 7.183 t C·hm -2 a -1 in the C. kawakamii and 3.554 t C·hm -2 a -1 in the C. lanceolata. Annual soil heterotrophic respiration was responsible for a C loss of 5.983 and 2.984 t·hm -2 a -1 from soil to atmosphere in the C. kawakamii and the C. lanceolata, respectively. Carbon balance analysis showed there were a positive net ecosystem production (C sink), 7.656 and 3.615 t C·hm -2 a -1 , for the C. kawakamii and the C. lanceolata, respectively. For the purpose of carbon management, C. kawakamii might be a more suitable species than C. lanceolata in local region.展开更多
