[Effects of Short-term Nitrogen Addition on Soil Organic Carbon Components in L. Plantation].

Nitrogen (N) deposition in the context of human activities continuously affects the carbon cycle of ecosystems. The effect of N deposition on soil organic carbon is related to the differential responses of different carbon fractions. To investigate the changes in soil organic carbon fraction and its influencing factors in the context of short-term N deposition, four N addition gradients:0 (CK), 1.

[Mineralization Characteristics of Soil Organic Carbon and Its Relationship with Organic Carbon Components in Artificial Forest in Loess Hilly Region].

In order to explore the characteristics of organic carbon mineralization and the variation law of organic carbon components of an artificial forest in a loess hilly area, an artificial forest restored for 13 years and the adjacent slope farmland were selected as the research objects, and indoor culture experiments under three different temperature treatments (15, 25, and 35℃) were carried out. The results indicated that the mineralization rate of soil organic carbon decreased sharply at first and then stabilized. The cumulative release of organic carbon increased rapidly in the initial stage of culture and gradually slowed in the later stage.

Changes in Soil Organic C Fractions and C Pool Stability Are Mediated by C-Degrading Enzymes in Litter Decomposition of Robinia pseudoacacia Plantations.

Litter decomposition is the main source of soil organic carbon (SOC) pool, regarding as an important part of terrestrial ecosystem C dynamics. The turnover of SOC is mainly regulated by extracellular enzymes secreted by microorganisms. However, the response mechanism of soil C-degrading enzymes and SOC in litter decomposition remains unclear.
