Abstract

Land use change affects the balance of organic carbon (C) reserves and the global C cycle. Microbial residues are essential constituents of stable soil organic C (SOC). However, it remains unclear how microbial residue changes over time following afforestation. In this study, 16-, 23-, 52-, and 62-year-old Mongolian pine stands and 16-year-old cropland were studied in the Horqin Sandy Land, China. We analyzed changes in SOC, amino sugar content, and microbial parameters to assess how microbial communities influence soil C transformation and preservation. The results showed that SOC storage increased with stand age in the early stage of afforestation but remained unchanged at about 1.27–1.29 kg/m2 after 52 a. Moreover, there were consistent increases in amino sugars and microbial residues with increasing stand age. As stand age increased from 16 to 62 a, soil pH decreased from 6.84 to 5.71, and the concentration of total amino sugars increased from 178.53 to 509.99 mg/kg. A significant negative correlation between soil pH and the concentration of specific and total amino sugars was observed, indicating that the effects of soil acidification promote amino sugar stabilization during afforestation. In contrast to the Mongolian pine plantation of the same age, the cropland accumulated more SOC and microbial residues because of fertilizer application. Across Mongolian pine plantation with different ages, there was no significant change in calculated contribution of bacterial or fungal residues to SOC, suggesting that fungi were consistently the dominant contributors to SOC with increasing time. Our results indicate that afforestation in the Horqin Sandy Land promotes efficient microbial growth and residue accumulation in SOC stocks and has a consistent positive impact on SOC persistence.

中国科尔沁沙地蒙古松龄序造林促进土壤微生物残留积累
土地利用的变化会影响有机碳储量的平衡和全球碳循环。微生物残留物是稳定的土壤有机碳(SOC)的重要组成部分。然而,目前仍不清楚植树造林后微生物残留物会随着时间的推移发生怎样的变化。本研究在中国科尔沁沙地对 16、23、52 和 62 年树龄的蒙古松林和 16 年树龄的耕地进行了研究。我们分析了SOC、氨基酸糖含量和微生物参数的变化,以评估微生物群落如何影响土壤C的转化和保存。结果表明,造林初期 SOC 储量随林龄增加而增加,但在 52 a 后保持不变,约为 1.27-1.29 kg/m2。随着林龄从 16 a 增加到 62 a,土壤 pH 值从 6.84 降到 5.71,总氨基酸糖的浓度从 178.53 增加到 509.99 mg/kg。土壤 pH 值与特定氨基酸糖和总氨基酸糖的浓度之间呈明显的负相关,表明土壤酸化的影响促进了造林过程中氨基酸糖的稳定。与同龄的蒙古松人工林相比,耕地因施肥积累了更多的 SOC 和微生物残留物。在不同树龄的蒙古松植被中,细菌或真菌残留物对 SOC 的计算贡献率没有显著变化,这表明随着时间的推移,真菌始终是 SOC 的主要贡献者。我们的研究结果表明,科尔沁沙地的植树造林促进了微生物的高效生长和 SOC 储量中残留物的积累,并对 SOC 的持久性产生了持续的积极影响。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Arid Land is an international peer-reviewed journal co-sponsored by Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Science Press. It aims to meet the needs of researchers, students and practitioners in sustainable development and eco-environmental management, focusing on the arid and semi-arid lands in Central Asia and the world at large. The Journal covers such topics as the dynamics of natural resources (including water, soil and land, organism and climate), the security and sustainable development of natural resources, and the environment and the ecology in arid and semi-arid lands, especially in Central Asia. Coverage also includes interactions between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere, and the relationship between these natural processes and human activities. Also discussed are patterns of geography, ecology and environment; ecological improvement and environmental protection; and regional responses and feedback mechanisms to global change. The Journal of Arid Land also presents reviews, brief communications, trends and book reviews of work on these topics.
