The Effect of Different Land Uses on New Indices of Soil Quality in Central Alborz Region
Different land uses have various effects on the changes of soil properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of natural forest, needle-leaved plantation and rangelands of central Alborz on new indices of soil quality (i.e. organic matter stratification, carbon management index and soil biological activities). For this purpose, eight samples from organic layer (litter) and m...
متن کاملEffects of nitrogen and phosphorus additions on soil microbial biomass and community structure in two reforested tropical forests
Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition may aggravate phosphorus (P) deficiency in forests in the warm humid regions of China. To our knowledge, the interactive effects of long-term N deposition and P availability on soil microorganisms in tropical replanted forests remain unclear. We conducted an N and P manipulation experiment with four treatments: control, N addition (15 g N m(-2)·yr(-1)), P additi...
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 ...
متن کاملSoil Properties in 35 y old Pine and Hardwood Plantations after Conversion from Mixed Pine-hardwood Forest
—Past management practices have changed much of the native mixed pinehardwood forests on upland alluvial terraces of the western Gulf Coastal Plain to either pine monocultures or hardwood (angiosperm) stands. Changes in dominant tree species can alter soil chemical, biological, and physical properties and processes, thereby changing soil attributes, and ultimately, soil functions. Restoring the...
متن کاملPine forest and grassland differently influence the response of soil microbial communities to metal contamination.
Metal pollution can affect soil microbial communities, and vegetation potentially influences this relationship. It can, for example, modify the toxicity of metal to soil microbes by controlling its input to the ground or by altering soil physicochemical properties. This study examined metal effects on soil respiration, potentially active microbial biomass (SIR) and catabolic abilities of cultur...
