Effects of Litter Input on Organic Carbon and Its Chemical-Bound Forms of Soil Microaggregate in Schima Superba Forest
[Objective] The effects of changes in aboveground litter
underground roots
and mycorrhizal inputs on soil microaggregates of restored red soil forestland were analyzed in order to provide a basis for soil function reconstruction and understanding the ecosystem carbon cycle after forest restoration of degraded lands. [Methods] The study was conducted in a pure Schima superba forest
a typical broad-leaved forest recovered from eroded and degraded red soil in a subtropical region. Five input treatments were established: no litter (CT)
mycorrhiza (M)
root+mycorrhiza (RM)
aboveground+underground litter (LRM)
and double aboveground+underground litter (DLRM). The composition of soil microaggregates
organic carbon
and their chemically bound forms were analyzed. [Results] There were no significant differences in soil microaggregate mass percentage
organic carbon
Ca-SOC
Fe (Al)-SOC
and Ca-SOC/SOC among the different treatments (p>0.05). Compared with CT
LRM reduced Fe (Al)-SOC/SOC of microaggregates of size 20—50 μm and 50—200 μm by 40.06% and 46.67%
respectively (p<0.05). Soil microaggregate mass percentage
organic carbon
Ca-SOC
and Fe (Al)-SOC decreased as particle size increased
and organic carbon and bound organic carbon tended to be enriched in smaller particle size groups (<20 μm). The content of Ca-SOC in microaggregates (0.55—1.28 g/kg) was much lower than observed for Fe (Al)-SOC (6.88—13.34 g/kg)
but its variation range in different particle sizes was greater than that of Fe (Al)-SOC. The percentage of Ca-SOC/SOC (1.54%—3.44%) was also less than the percentage of Fe (Al)-SOC/SOC (16.75%—42.54%). Microaggregate mass percentage
organic carbon
Ca-SOC
and Fe (Al)-SOC were positively correlated (r=0.497—0.757
p<0.01). [Conclusion] Soil microaggregates and their organic carbon in a restored S. superba forest were affected by particle size. Both quantities responded to short-term inputs of aboveground litter
underground roots
and mycorrhiza
but did not reach a significant level
and therefore need to be studied over a longer time period.
