Biomass and Carbon Sequestration by Juglans regia Plantations in the Karst Regions of Southwest China
To better understand carbon (C) sequestration by Juglans regia L. plantations in karst regions of southwest China, this study examined biomass increment and C storage in four different-aged J. regia stands, as well as the distribution of carbon stock among the various ecosystem components. Tree and ecosystem biomass increased with stand age. Aboveground biomass (AGB) represented 64.79% of the t...
متن کاملBacteria biomass and carbonic anhydrase activity in some karst areas of Southwest China
To determine the role of microbes in karst processes, it is necessary to investigate the ecological distribution and characteristics of soil microorganisms in karst areas. In this paper, a preliminary study was carried out in two different karst areas of Southwest China: Nongla and the Guilin Yaji Karst Experimental Site (Guangxi). Soil samples from 10–20 cm in depth were analyzed for the numbe...
متن کاملIs Forest Restoration in the Southwest China Karst Promoted Mainly by Climate Change or Human-Induced Factors?
The Southwest China Karst, the largest continuous karst zone in the world, has suffered serious rock desertification due to the large population pressure in the area. Recent trend analyses have indicated general greening trends in this region. The region has experienced mild climate change, and yet significant land use changes, such as afforestation and reforestation. In addition, out-migration...
متن کاملSpatial Heterogeneity of Soil Chemical Properties in a Subtropical Karst Forest, Southwest China
This study evaluates the spatial heterogeneity of the soil chemical properties of surface soils across a 1 ha old-growth subtropical karst forest in southwest China.
متن کاملQuantifying Components of Soil Respiration and Their Response to Abiotic Factors in Two Typical Subtropical Forest Stands, Southwest China
Separating the components of soil respiration and understanding the roles of abiotic factors at a temporal scale among different forest types are critical issues in forest ecosystem carbon cycling. This study quantified the proportions of autotrophic (RA) and heterotrophic (RH) in total soil (RT) respiration using trenching and litter removal. Field studies were conducted in two typical subtrop...
