“…Physical parameters, especially the grain size distribution, of the three sites were very similar; all of the samples classified as sandy soils (Table 1). Organic carbon content, C org , increased and pH(H 2 O) decreased with vegetation succession, which is consistent with findings of Sparrius & Kooijman (2013) that organic matter accumulated in two inland dunes in the Netherlands during succession, resulting in a lower pH. However the differences in C org and pH(H 2 O) between S1 and S2 were rather small, implying moderate relationship between the amount of soil organic matter and soil pH in the present study.…”

The effects of vegetation at different succession stages on soil properties and water flow were assessed in sandy soil at 3 experimental sites near Sekule village (southwest Slovakia). Site S1 was a pioneer site dominated by mosses, site S2 was an early successional stage with a thin stand of grasses, and site S3 was an early successional stage (more advanced compared to the previous), richer in species, with a denser stand of grasses. It was found that vegetation at different succession stages affected soil properties and water flow in sandy soil, but the order of changes in some soil properties and water penetration depths were different from the order of succession stages

Understanding the responses of species diversity and dominant species to soil nutrient dynamics can enhance our knowledge of species coexistence and the recovery of secondary forests. Here, we assessed how species diversity and the abundance of dominant species varied as a function of soil nutrients at early-and mid-successional stages in two tropical monsoon coastal secondary forests in southern China. Results showed that species diversity was higher in the mid-successional stage. Species diversity was significantly correlated with organic matter and available P in both stages. The abundance of dominant species was significantly associated with organic matter, K, P, and N. Soil nutrients are therefore likely to play vitally important roles in the successional trajectory and restoration of these tropical coastal secondary forests.

“…Ammonization is helpful in preventing N leaching loss in the form of nitrate effectively in the P. amarus plantation. Soil N mineralization in the P. amarus plantation was stimulated by N additions, consistent with the results of many other studies (Sparrius and Kooijman 2013;Vourlitis et al 2007;Gundersen et al 1998;Vitousek et al 1982). Considering that the soil pipes of the four treatments underwent the same temperature and similar gravimetric soil moisture content, we extrapolate that the different soil chemo-physical characteristics and fine-root biomass resulting from the different treatments may largely contribute to this stimulation.…”

“…Given the importance of soil N mineralization, much research has been done but with inconsistent results in terms of the effects of N deposition on soil N mineralization. For example, there were studies finding that N deposition increased soil mineralization rates (Biudes and Vourlitis 2012;Sparrius and Kooijman 2013), whereas results that N deposition did not exert significant effects on soil N mineralization rates were also reported (Turner and Henry 2010;Emmett et al 1995). This discrepancy largely depend on the comprehensive effects of N deposition on soil chemo-physical characteristics and fineroot biomass in soils, both of which can influence soil mineralization rates by affecting microbial activity in soils directly or indirectly (Rao et al 2009;Vourlitis et al 2007;Sparrius and Kooijman 2013;Fornara and Tilman 2012).…”

In order to understand the effects of increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on the subtropical bamboo ecosystem, a nearly six-year field experiment was conducted in a Pleioblastus amarus plantation in the rainy region of SW China, near the western edge of Sichuan Basin. Four N treatment levels-control (no N added), low-N (50 kg N ha -1 a -1 ), medium-N (150 kg N ha -1 a -1 ), and high-N (300 kg N ha -1 a -1 )-were applied monthly in the P. amarus plantation starting in November 2007. In June 2012, we collected intact soil cores in the bamboo plantation and conducted a 30-day laboratory incubation experiment. The results showed that the soil N net mineralization rate was 0.96 ± 0.10 mg N kg -1 day -1 , under control treatment. N additions stimulated the soil N net mineralization, and the high-N treatment significantly increased the soil N net mineralization rate compared with the control. Moreover, the soil N net mineralization rate was significantly and positively correlated with the fine root biomass, the soil microbial biomass nitrogen content and the soil initial inorganic N content, respectively, whereas it was negatively correlated with the soil pH value. There were no significant relationships between the soil N net mineralization rate and the soil total nitrogen (TN) content and the soil total organic carbon content and the soil C/N ratio and the soil microbial biomass carbon content, respectively. These results suggest that N additions would improve the mineral N availability in the topsoil of the P. amarus plantation through the effects of N additions on soil chemical and physical characteristics and fine-root biomass.
