Impacts of land-use types on soil C mineralization and temperature sensitivity of forests in Qianyanzhou, Jiangxi Province, China
Decomposition of soil organic matter plays an important role in the regulation of carbon (C) cycles at ecosystem or regional scales,and is closely related to temperature,moisture,and land-use types.The influences of soil temperature,moisture,and land-use types on soil C mineralization in Citrus reticulata and Pinus elliottii forests were investigated at the Qianyanzhou Ecological Experiment Station,Chinese Academy of Sciences,by conducting incubation experiments at 5-level temperatures (5,10,15,20 and 25 ℃) and 3-level moistures (30％,60％ and 90％ saturated soil moisture,SSM).The results showed that soil temperature,moisture,and land-use types had significant effects on soil C mineralization and they had significant interaction effects.Soil C mineralization was positively correlated with incubation temperature in the two forests,and the maximum of soil C mineralization was in the 60％ SSM treatment.The accumulation of soil C mineralization was higher in the C.reticulata forest than in the P.elliottii forest under the same temperature and moisture conditions.The temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil C mineralization was influenced by land-use type and soil moisture.Q1o increased with the increasing soil moisture in both C.reticulata and P.elliottii forests at incubation 7 and 42 d.Q10 in the C.reticulata forest was higher than in the P.elliottii forest in the same moisture level,and the deviation increased with the increasing soil moisture.The model including temperature and moisture could depict the response of soil C mineralization to temperature and moisture.Temperature and moisture together explained 79.9％-91.9％ of the variation in soil C mineralization.
