Effects of Vegetation Restoration Ages on Soil Carbon Pool of Natural Grassland in Loess Hilly Region
[Objective] This Paper aimed to investigate the dynamic variation and distribution of soil carbon of natural grassland under different restoration years in order to understand the dynamic characteristics of soil organic and inorganic carbon pool.[Methods] Using field survey and laboratory analysis method
this study analyzed the dynamic variation of soil total carbon of natural grassland under different restoration years(11
16
22 and 35 a) in loess hilly region.[Results] Soil organic carbon(SOC) content in the 0-10 cm soil layer surface was increased significantly with the increase of restoration years
while no evident changes were found in the 10-100 cm soil layer. Variations in average soil organic carbon storage of natural grassland at 0-100 cm soil depth decreased initially and then increased with the increase of restoration years. However
it had not reached to the level of farmland. Decalcified phenomenon existed in 0-20 cm soil layer. Soil inorganic carbon(SIC) storage was 2.7 to 4.5 times larger than soil organic carbon storage in 0-100 cm total soil layers. No significant variations occurred in total soil carbon storage as the restoration years increased. Soil inorganic carbon storage accounted for about 75.6% to 86.0% of soil total carbon storage in the 0-100 cm soil. The SIC pool was an important factor that influenced soil total carbon pool in the study area
which also maintained the dynamic balance of soil carbon pool in this region.[Conclusion] In the semi-arid environment of the Loess Plateau
soil carbon sequestration effect in natural grassland is not obvious and the improvement of soil carbon pool is likely to require a considerably long period of time.
