“…The C:N ratio of the two soils selected (12.51 ± 0.03 and 17.43 ± 0.17, mean ± s.e.m.) was representative of the values most commonly found in European temperate forest mineral soils [16]. But at the same time, these two soils were different within the range of probability distribution of C:N values in Swiss forest soils (2 nd and 7 th decile); therefore, representing soils of contrasting N min dynamics.…”

Leaching of soils during laboratory incubations does not affect soil organic carbon mineralisation but solubilisation

Laboratory soil incubations provide controlled conditions to investigate carbon and nutrient dynamics; however, they are not free of artefacts. As carbon and nitrogen cycles are tightly linked, we aimed at investigating whether the incubation-induced accumulation of mineral nitrogen (Nmin) biases soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation. For this, we selected two soils representative of the C:N ratio values found in European temperate forests, and applied two incubation systems: ‘closed’ beakers and ‘open’ microlysimeters. The latter allowed leaching the soil samples during the incubation. By the end of the 121-day experiment, the low C:N soil significantly accumulated more Nmin in beakers (5.12 g kg-1 OC) than in microlysimeters (3.00 g kg-1 OC) but there was not a significant difference in SOC mineralisation at any point of the experiment. On the other hand, Nmin did not accumulate in the high C:N soil but, by the end of the experiment, leaching had promoted 33.9% more SOC solubilisation than beakers. Therefore, we did not find evidence that incubation experiments introduce a bias on SOC mineralisation. This outcome strengthens results from soil incubation studies.

Soil respiration from a boreal mixed coniferous forest showed large seasonal variation in natural abundance of C, ranging from -21.6‰ to -26.5‰. We tested if weather conditions could explain this variation in δC of respired CO, and found that the air relative humidity 1-4 days before the days of CO sampling best explained the variation. This suggested that high δC values were caused by effects of air humidity on isotope fractionation during photosynthesis and that it took 1-4 days for the C from canopy photosynthesis of 20-25 m trees to become available for root/rhizosphere respiration. We calculated that these new photoassimilates could account for at least 65% of total soil respiration.
