“…Here, soil C increased in the early stages after afforestation and then decreased gradually with plantation age. This trend was similar to findings by Noh et al [56] for a Pinus densiflora plantation. In contrast, Li et al reported an initial decline in soil C after establishment of a Pinus koraiensis plantation [39].…”

“…The relative contribution of individual C pool to total ecosystem C storage in this chronosequence study is shown in Figure 4. Trees and mineral soil were the dominant C pools across all stand ages, consistent with other studies [11,39,47,51,56]. A similar trend was found in the proportion of belowground to total ecosystem C storage, which increased initially, and then declined gradually.…”

Patterns of carbon (C) allocation across different stages of stand development in Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis plantations are not well understood. In this study, we examined biomass and mineral soil C content in five development stages (1, 2, 3, 4-5, and 6-8 years old) of a Eucalyptus stand in southern China. The tree biomass C pool increased with stand age and showed a high annual rate of accumulation. Stems accounted for the highest proportion of biomass C sequestered. The C pool in mineral soil increased initially after afforestation and then declined gradually, with C density decreasing with soil depth. The upper 50 cm of soil contained the majority (57%-68%) of sequestered C. The other biomass components (shrubs, herbaceous plants, litter, and fine roots) accounted for <5% of the total ecosystem C pool. Total C pools in the Eucalyptus plantation ecosystem were 112.9, 172.5, 203.8, 161.1, in the five developmental stages, respectively, with most of the C sequestered below ground. We conclude that Eucalyptus plantations have considerable biomass C sequestration potential during stand development. OPEN ACCESSForests 2015, 6 1764

“…In the present study, no pattern was found in the change of litter C pools over time, which is in accordance with previous findings from temperate forest ecosystems (Krause 1998, Peichl & Arain 2006, Noh et al 2010, Li et al 2011.

“…Given the large distribution area, accurate and reliable estimates of C stock in the desertification regions are important in the development of effective policies and strategies to mitigate climate change.

© iForest -Biogeosciences and Forestry IntroductionArid and semi-arid regions cover more than one-third of the surface of the Earth, making these systems the most common types of biomes in the world (Reynolds 2001, Gao et al. 2012. The vegetation and soils in these regions represent approximately 46% of the global terrestrial carbon (C) stock (Verhoef et al. 1996, Lal 2002. Thus, arid and semiarid ecosystems play an integral role in the response of the global C cycle to climate change (Melillo et al. 1993, Housman et al. 2006, Lufafa et al. 2008). However, ecosystems in these areas are particularly vulnerable to environmental constraints and human activities (Puigdefábregas & Mendizábal 1998, Gao et al. 2012. Previous studies showed that rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns associated with climate change will lead to the degeneration of community structures and functions in arid ecosystems (Ehleringer & Cooper 1988, Midgley et al. 2004. Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations may cause the temperature of arid regions to increase sharply (Schlesinger et al. 1990, Maestre & Cortina 2004. Areas affected by desertification have lost twothirds of their C, mainly through the loss of vegetation and soil organic matter (IPCC 1996).Revegetation is one of the most effective methods for combating desertification and preventing soil C loss in arid and semi-arid regions (Yang & Wu 2010, Amiraslani & Dragovich 2011, Corona et al. 2012, D'Odorico et al. 2013. Shrub species are usually selected for revegetation, and they are therefore the dominant vegetation in such regions (Lufafa et al. 2009, Zhang et al. 2009, Conti et al. 2013. Many studies on the C stock and allocation in shrub ecosystem of arid and semi-arid regions have been conducted on the Mediterranean coast, in Africa, and in Latin America (Farage et al. 2007, Trumper et al. 2008, Corona et al. 2012, RuizPeinado et al. 2013. Nevertheless, studies on this topic are scarce in China. China possesses 334 000 km 2 of desertified or desertification-prone lands, mainly in the north (Feng et al. 2000). Vegetation restoration, including revegetation using sand-binding species in desert regions to reduce the effects of desertification, has been applied to more than 2.4 million ha of degraded land in China (Li et al. 2004, 2007a, Zhang et al. 2009, Gao et al. 2012. Given the large distribution area, accurate and reliable estimates of C stock in the desertification regions are important in the development of effective policies and strategies to mitigate climate change. A number of studies have shown that stand age may have a significant effect on the changes in C stock and allocation among different ecosystem components, such as trees, understory vegetation, forest floor, and mineral soil (Turner et al. 1995, Peichl & Arain 2006, Peichl & Arain 2007, Noh et al. 2010. Tree biomass and C stock increase with stand age, and the allocation and growth rate of tree biomass and C pools vary across stands with different ages (Tobin & Nieuwenhuis 2007, Li et al. 2011, ...

“…SOC content increases with the stand age in many studies [5,6], while contrary result is also found in early duration after afforestation [7,9]. Therefore, SOC content, especially in surface soil layer, would be affected by the changes of biomass, root, herb and soil physical and chemical characteristic across stand age [5,14,15]. However, a majority of studies have found that the SOC content declines firstly, then increases with the stand age increasing [7,16].…”

Abstract. Information on soil organic carbon (SOC) content and stocks is not available in coastal shelter forests, East China, although a large area of forests has been established there in the past 30 years. Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is one of the most commonly tree species for shelter plantation in eastern coasts of China, but it is unknown on the temporal distribution of SOC content and stock in the M. glyptostroboides plantations. In this study, SOC contents and stocks, and soil properties were determined in an age-sequence (23, 27, and 33 years old) of M. glyptostroboides plantations in Shanghai, East China. SOC content and stocks increased gradually with the increasing stand age, and the total SOC stocks in the depth of 0-100 cm increased by 53.20% with stand age from 23 to 33 years stand. Meanwhile, SOC showed good relationships with soil physical properties (such as soil particle composition) and chemical properties (such as soil nitrogen and potassium concentrations). Our results indicate that afforestation with M. glyptostroboides can promote SOC content and stocks and improve nutrient conditions in coastal lands, and provide data for estimating ecosystem carbon stocks of coastal shelter forests in China.
