No results found.How to improve soil organic carbon content and stock has become the emerging scientific issues under the background of low soil fertility of natural secondary forests in Northeast China. In this study,, we will analyze the impacts of natural restoration management regime, target tree-based forest management regime, and conversion to mixed local valuable broadleaved forest management regime for secondary Quercus mongolica forest on soil organic carbon stocks in a forestry fram of Heilongjiang province. The result showed: (1) SOC content ranked as target tree-based forest management ＞ natural restoration management ＞ conversion to mixed local forest management, and TN,TP, AN, AP and water content were the key factors impacted the SOC content; (2) The different management have no impact on cfPOC and MOC, but the ffPOC content was significantly decreased under target tree-based forest management, while iPOC content was significantly increased under conversion to mixed local forest management; (3) The relative proportion of the functional groups were ranked as O-alkyl C > alkyl C > aromatic C > carbonyl C; (4) MBC was rankded as target tree-based forest management ＞ natural restoration management ＞ conversion to mixed local forest management, and the invertase activity and catalase activity were increased under target tree-based forest management, while urease activity was increased under conversion to mixed local forest management; (5) The carbon sequestration potential was ranked as conversion to mixed local forest management ＞ natural restoration management ＞ target tree-based forest management. In conclusion, these results indicated that the target tree-based forest management has the highest potential to sequestrated carbon in forest soil, and it is a rational management to increase SOC, while conversion to mixed local forest management lead to a loss of SOC and need to protect and repair in future to increase the SOC content.

DocumentManaging taxonomic and functional diversity is the key to sustain aboveground biomass and soil microbial diversity: A synthesis from long-term forest restoration of southern China

No results found.Exploring the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship is one of the central goals of ecological research. Restoration is essential for supporting key ecosystem functions such as aboveground biomass production and managing soil microbial diversity. However, the relative importance of functional versus taxonomic diversity in explaining aboveground biomass and soil microbial diversity during restoration is poorly understood. Here, we used a trait-based approach to test for the importance of multiple plant diversity attributes in regulating aboveground biomass and soil microbial diversity in four 30- years-old restored subtropical forests in southern China. High-throughput Illumina sequencing was applied for detecting fungal and bacterial diversity. We show that both taxonomic and functional diversities are significant and positive regulators of aboveground biomass; however, functional diversity (FD) was more important than taxonomic diversity (TD) in controlling aboveground biomass. FD had the strongest direct effect on aboveground biomass compared with TD, soil properties, and community weighted mean (CWM) traits. Our results further indicate that leaf and root morphological traits and traits related to the nutrient content in plant tissues showed acquisitive resource use strategy which influenced aboveground biomass. In contrast to aboveground biomass, taxonomic diversity explained more of the soil microbial diversity than the FD and soil properties. Prediction of fungal richness was better than that of bacterial richness. In addition, root traits explained more variation of soil microbes than the leaf traits. Our results suggest that both TD and FD play a role in shaping aboveground biomass and soil microbial diversity; but FD is more important in supporting aboveground biomass while TD for belowground microbial diversity. These results imply that enhancing TD and FD is important to restoring and managing degraded forest landscapes.
