Soil Respiration and Its Temperature Sensitivity of Different Vegetation Types at Southern Foothill of Taihang Mountains
[Objective] Soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity of different vegetation types were studied
in order to provide theoretical support for the assessment of terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle.[Methods] Soil hydrothermal factors
respiration characteristics and temperature sensitivity in different seasons were studied in bare land
grassland
shrub and woodland at the southern foothill of Taihang Mountains by long-term location observation and laboratory analysis.[Results] Soil temperature of different vegetation types varied greatly with seasons
with the lowest value in the early January and the highest value in the late August. After August
soil temperature gradually decreased with time. The soil temperature in the same month was generally showed an oreder of bare land > grassland > shrubland > forestland
with the local fluctuations. Soil respiration rate of different vegetation types was significantly different and the seasonal variation characteristics were consistent. Among them
soil respiration
heterotrophic respiration and autotrophic respiration had the same seasonal variation characteristics (inverted V-shaped variation)
which roughly showed as follows:summer > autumn > spring > winter. Soil respiration humidity sensitivity of different vegetation types was as follows:bare land < grassland < shrubland < forestland
indicating that vegetation types were the important driving factor for soil respiration temperature sensitivity. Q10 in summer and autumn was significantly higher than that in spring and winter. Correlation analysis showed that Q10 was significantly negatively correlated with pH value(p<0.05)
and negatively correlated with the bulk density; Soil organic carbon was positively correlation with Q10 (p<0.05). Moreover
the contribution rate of soil heterotrophic respiration was the highest in summer and the lowest in spring. The contribution rate of soil heterotrophic respiration was as follows:in summer > in autumn > in winter > in spring
and the contribution rate of autotrophic respiration gradually increased with season.[Conclusion] Heterotrophic respiration contributed more to soil respiration than autotrophic respiration
and soil heterotrophic respiration with microbial participation is the most important component of soil respiration.
