“…This is likely explained by more intensive soil management and adding of organic substrates e.g. composts and turf-sand mixtures (Lorenz and Lal, 2009;Shchepeleva et al, 2016). High microbiological activity and soil respiration usually reported for recreational zones (Livesley et al, 2010;Ivashchenko et al, 2014) facilitate faster decomposition of SOC.…”

“…Entscheidende anthropogene Faktoren sind die aktuelle Bestockung, die waldbauliche Behandlung sowie die historische und aktuelle Landnutzung (WIRTH et al 2004a). Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass die langfristige Speicherung von C im Bodenpool von sehr langsamen Abbauraten und Umsatzzeiten von einem Jahrhundert bis zu mehreren Jahrtausenden bestimmt wird (LORENZ u. LAL 2010).…”

“…Because of the central importance of organic matter in soil structure and processes [28], we expect that other variables we measured will also not differ from OG. With regard to regional variation, if any stand type differences do occur we would expect the greatest likelihood to be in the Siskiyou Mountains, the driest and least productive region of the study.…”

Abiotic and Biotic Soil Characteristics in Old Growth Forests and Thinned or Unthinned Mature Stands in Three Regions of Oregon

Abstract:We compared forest floor depth, soil organic matter, soil moisture, anaerobic mineralizable nitrogen (a measure of microbial biomass), denitrification potential, and soil/litter arthropod communities among old growth, unthinned mature stands, and thinned mature stands at nine sites (each with all three stand types) distributed among three regions of Oregon. Mineral soil measurements were restricted to the top 10 cm. Data were analyzed with both multivariate and univariate analyses of variance. Multivariate analyses were conducted with and without soil mesofauna or forest floor mesofauna, as data for those taxa were not collected on some sites. In multivariate analysis with soil mesofauna, the model giving the strongest separation among stand types (P = 0.019) included abundance and richness of soil mesofauna and anaerobic mineralizable nitrogen. The best model with forest floor mesofauna (P = 0.010) included anaerobic mineralizable nitrogen, soil moisture content, and richness of forest floor mesofauna. Old growth had the highest mean values for all variables, and in both models differed significantly from mature stands, while the latter did not differ. Old growth also averaged higher percent soil organic matter, and analysis including that variable was significant but not as strong as without it. Results of the multivariate analyses were mostly supported by univariate analyses, but there were some differences. In univariate analysis, the difference in percent soil organic matter between old growth and thinned mature was due to a single site in which the old growth had exceptionally high soil organic matter; without that site, percent soil organic matter did OPEN ACCESSDiversity 2012, 4 335 not differ between old growth and thinned mature, and a multivariate model containing soil organic matter was not statistically significant. In univariate analyses soil mesofauna had to be compared nonparametrically (because of heavy left-tails) and differed only in the Siskiyou Mountains, where they were most abundant and species rich in old growth forests. Species richness of mineral soil mesofauna correlated significantly (+) with percent soil organic matter and soil moisture, while richness of forest floor mesofauna correlated (+) with depth of the forest floor. Composition of forest floor and soil mesofauna suggest the two groups represent a single community. Soil moisture correlated highly with percent soil organic matter, with no evidence for drying in sites that were sampled relatively late in the summer drought, suggesting losses of surface soil moisture were at least partially replaced by hydraulic lift (which has been demonstrated in other forests of the region).
