Soil microbial responses to forest floor litter manipulation and nitrogen addition in a mixed-wood forest of northern China
Changes in litterfall dynamics and soil properties due to anthropogenic or natural perturbations have important implications to soil carbon (C) and nutrient cycling via microbial pathway. Here we determine soil microbial responses to contrasting types of litter inputs (leaf vs. fine woody litter) and nitrogen (N) deposition by conducting a multi-year litter manipulation and N addition experimen...
متن کاملInorganic and Organic Nitrogen Acquisition by a Fern Dicranopteris dichotoma in a Subtropical Forest in South China
The fern Dicranopteris dichotoma is an important pioneer species of the understory in Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) forests growing on acidic soils in the subtropical and tropical China. To improve our understanding of the role of D. dichotoma in nitrogen (N) uptake of these forests, a short-term (15)N experiment was conducted at mountain ridge (MR, with low N level) and mountain foot (MF, wit...
متن کاملSimulated Nitrogen Deposition Reduces CH4 Uptake and Increases N2O Emission from a Subtropical Plantation Forest Soil in Southern China
To date, few studies are conducted to quantify the effects of reduced ammonium (NH4+) and oxidized nitrate (NO3-) on soil CH4 uptake and N2O emission in the subtropical forests. In this study, NH4Cl and NaNO3 fertilizers were applied at three rates: 0, 40 and 120 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1). Soil CH4 and N2O fluxes were determined twice a week using the static chamber technique and gas chromatography. S...
متن کاملImpacts of anthropogenic N additions on nitrogen mineralization from plant litter in exotic annual grasslands
Urban regions of southern California receive up to 45 kg Nha y from nitrogen (N) deposition. A field decomposition study was done using N-labelled litter of the widespread exotic annual grass Bromus diandrus to determine whether elevated soil N is strictly from N deposition or whether N mineralization rates from litter are also increased under N deposition. Tissue N and lignin concentrations, w...
متن کاملEffects of nitrogen deposition on soil organic carbon fractions in the subtropical forest ecosystems of S China
Experiments were conducted between 2003 and 2008 to examine how N additions influence soil organic C (SOC) and its fractions in forests at different succession stages in the subtropical China. The succession stages included pine forest, pine and broadleaf mixed forest, and oldgrowth monsoon evergreen broadleaf forest. Three levels of N (NH4NO3)-addition treatments comprising control, low-N (50 ...
