摘要 | As one of the important factors affecting forest soil organic carbon stocks, the effect of understory vegetation types on soil organic carbon and its components was explored to provide a theoretical basis for understory vegetation management and sustainable management in plantation forests. In order to determine the characteristics of soil organic carbon and its components under different understory vegetation types in Subtropical Cunninghamia lanceolata plantation, Indocalamus tessellatus, Diplazium donianum and Oreocnide frutescenssp were taken as research objects. The mass fractions of total organic carbon, recalcitrant organic carbon, readily oxidizable organic carbon,microbial biomass carbon and dissolved organic carbon in each soil layer at 0–10, 10–20, 20–40 and 40–60 cm were measured, and the change characteristics of soil organic carbon components were also studied and compared. The results showed that: (1) The mass fractions of total organic carbon,recalcitrant organic carbon, readily oxidizable organic carbon and microbial biomass carbon in the soils of the three understory vegetation types showed significant decreasing trends along the profile,while the mass fraction of dissolved organic carbon in 0–40 cm soil layer was significantly higher than those in 40–60 cm soil layer. (2) The mass fraction of total organic carbon (5.98–20.66 gkg |
