Belowground biomass decomposition is driven by chemical composition in subtropical pastures and native rangelands

Abstract: Litter decomposition, particularly from belowground pools, is a key process controlling the flow of nutrients and the sustainability of native and cultivated grazinglands. This study evaluated in situ belowground decomposition of sawpalmetto (Serenoa repens [W. Bartram] Small) and bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge; BG), which corresponded to the predominant plant species in native and cultivated pastures in the southeastern United States. Belowground biomass decomposition (180 d) was estimated using the litt… Show more

“…These two species have shown stark contrasts in plant height, biomass quantity, and biomass quality (Ban et al, 2008;Vann et al, 2019). Biomass quality, and in particular residue C/N ratio, is a factor determining decomposition rate and nutrient cycling (Cattanio et al, 2008;Kohmann et al, 2020;Nicolardot et al, 2001;Palm & Sanchez, 1990), which may mean that CC and HV may differ markedly in their biomass C stabilization and N mineralization potential. Mechanistically, soil enzyme activity is one property that is most directly governed by residue quality (Curtright & Tiemann, 2021;Sinsabaugh, 2010;Sinsabaugh & Follstad Shah, 2011;Xiao et al, 2018), and this in turn governs functional responses of preservation or loss of organic matter pools of interest like microbial biomass carbon (MBC), microbial biomass N (MBN), potentially mineralizable C (PMC), potentially mineralizable N (PMN), and hot water extractable carbohydrates (HWC).…”

“…Além disso, nesses espaçamentos observaram-se mais altas concentrações de N e mais baixa relação C/N, fatores que favorecem a decomposição de raízes pelos microrganismos do solo. Esses resultados demonstram que compostos isolados não devem ser levados em consideração na avaliação das características relacionadas a ciclagem de nutrientes, uma vez que outros compostos como N, lignina, relação lignina/N e C/N são importantes parâmetros utilizados na avaliação do potencial de ciclagem de nutrientes de plantas forrageiras (Kohmann et al, 2020).…”
