“…Due to the expansion of forests, forest practices such as afforestation and reforestation seem to be effective measures for sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and mitigating global climate change (Winjum and Schroeder 1997). Afforestation and reforestation are also proposed in Article 3.3 of the Kyoto Protocol as effective methods of carbon sequestration.…”

“…Total C storage in forest plantations is approximately 11.8 Pg C with an annual increase of 0.18 Pg C year −1 , playing an important role in C sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems (Winjum and Schroeder 1997). The total plantation area in China is 6.26×10 6 ha, accounting for 31.8 % of China's forest area and ranking first in the world (Department of Forest Resources Management 2010).…”

Contrasting effects of ammonium and nitrate inputs on soil CO2 emission in a subtropical coniferous plantation of southern China

Increased nitrogen (N) deposition has been found controversial affecting soil CO 2 emission in terrestrial ecosystems, which leads to serious debate on the efficiency of estimated C sequestration induced by N enrichment. The forms of input N might be responsible for this controversy. This study aims to explore the effects of NH 4 + (reduced N) and NO 3 − (oxidized N) on soil CO 2 flux and the underlying microbial mechanisms. An N addition experiment, two N fertilizers (NH 4 Cl and NaNO 3 ) and two rates (40 and 120 kg N ha −1 year −1 ), was carried out in a slash pine plantation of southern China. Soil-atmospheric CO 2 exchange, soil microbial biomass, and community composition were measured using static chamber-gas chromatography and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analyses in the active growing and nonactive growing seasons, respectively. Low level of NaNO 3 addition significantly increased soil CO 2 flux in the active growing season, whereas other N treatments did not change soil CO 2 flux. High level of NH 4 Cl addition significantly reduced soil fungal biomass (fungal PLFA) and changed microbial community composition (ratio of fungal to bacterial (F/B) PLFAs). The positive relationships between the change in soil CO 2 flux and the change in fungal biomass, as well as between the change in soil CO 2 flux and the change in community composition, were observed in the nonactive growing season. The N forms as NO 3 − or NH 4 + are important factors affecting C cycles in the subtropical coniferous plantation. These results suggested that the variations of soil CO 2 emission and microbial biomass and community composition in the subtropical plantation depended on the seasons and the levels and forms of N addition.
