“…The stocks for the 0-20 cm depth increment were estimated by calculating a depth-weighted average of the data from each soil horizon in that depth increment. Hobbie et al (2007) previously reported some aspects of the data from the uppermost mineral horizons (but not, for example, acidity tot ). None of the data for the 0-20 cm depth increment have been discussed elsewhere.…”

Soil organic carbon stocks and CO2 effluxes of native and exotic pine plantations in subtropical China

The selection of tree species is critical for soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and dynamics under afforestation. Exotic tree species were widely introduced and have been considered as a form of human-induced global change. However, how exotic tree species, as compared with native ones, affect SOC storage and soil respiration (R s ) has not been sufficiently investigated. Here we studied this issue in an even-aged (22 years) plantation composed by native Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) (MP) and exotic slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) (SP) in subtropical China. A trenching method was used to partition R s into heterotrophic (R h ) and autotrophic respiration (R a ). R s and R h were measured approximately biweekly during August 2007 to December 2009. Our results showed that seasonal patterns of R s and R h in both pine forests were mainly affected by soil temperature and moisture (R 2 = 0.56-0.78, P b 0.001). There was no difference in SOC stock (forest floor + mineral soil of 0-40 cm), R h and turnover rate (R h /SOC stock) between MP and SP forests. However, annual R s , R a and R a /R s of MP were significantly 24%, 119% and 74% higher than those of SP, respectively. In contrast, even though MP and SP had similar fine and coarse root biomass, MP had significant higher ratios of R a /fine root biomass and R a /coarse root biomass than SP, suggesting a higher respiration rate in native pine species on a root biomass basis. We concluded that the exotic SP, as compared with indigenous MP, did not alter SOC stock, R h and turnover rate but depressed R a and R s . Therefore, both pine species were recommended in case of reforestation in terms of SOC sequestration.

Phytostabilization of metals using trees is often promoted although the influence of different tree species on the mobilization of metals is not yet clear. This study examined effects of six tree species on the soil characteristics pH, organic carbon (OC) content and cation exchange capacity (CEC) and on the redistribution of cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) on a polluted sandy soil. Soil and biomass were sampled in 10-years-old stands growing on former agricultural land. The tree species included were silver birch (Betula pendula), oak (Quercus robur and Q. petraea), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), aspen (Populus tremula), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). In the short period of ten years, only aspen caused significant changes in the soil characteristics. Due to accumulation of Cd and Zn in its leaf litter, aspen increased the total as well as the NH 4 OAc-EDTA-extractable Cd and Zn concentrations in the topsoil compared to deeper soil layers and to other tree species. Also topsoil pH, OC content and CEC were significantly higher than under most of the other species. This caused rather low 'bio-available' CaCl 2 -extractable concentrations under aspen. Nevertheless, given the risks of aboveground metal dispersion and topsoil accumulation, it is recommended that aspen should be avoided when afforesting Cd and Zn contaminated lands.
