Changes of Soil Aggregates and Its Organic Carbon in Chinese Fir Plantations with Different Forest Ages
soil aggregates have a huge impact on soil porosity and water holding capacity. Soil aggregate organic carbon can not only reflect soil carbon sequestration capacity
but also be closely related to aggregate stability. Study on soil aggregates and organic carbon distribution characteristics in Chinese Fir plantations can provide theoretical basis for improving soil productivity and water use efficiency. In our research
soil samples were collected from Chinese Fir plantations with different forest ages (6
11 and 32 years)
which was located in Yangkou National Forest Farm
Fujian Province
China. The water-stable soil aggregate composition and organic carbon contents were measured. The results showed that forest age was very important in terms of soil aggregate and its organic carbon. Macro-aggregate contents (>0.25 mm)
MWD
organic carbon contents and its contribution of aggregates in mature forest were higher than that in young and middle forests. Water-stable macro-aggregates were the main part of soil aggregates
which accounting for about 59.57%~80.97%
while the aggregates with the partical size less than 0.053 mm only accounted for 0.80%. In terms of organic carbon contribution
macro-aggregates were the main contributor
and aggregates with the partical size 2~0.25 mm accounted for 58.43%. Furthermore
soil aggregate MWD and its carbon content had a typically vertical characteristic
decreasing with soil depth. A strong positive correction was found between aggregate MWD and organic carbon. Hence
organic carbon was beneficial for the stability of soil aggregate
and MWD and organic carbon contents of aggregate showed a trend as mature forest > young forest > middle forest.
