土壤有机碳矿化是土壤碳库向大气碳库输入CO2的主要途径,对全球气候变化具有重要作用[1]。土壤有机碳矿化是个复杂的生态学过程,其影响因素众多,包括温度[2]、湿度[3]、森林类型[4]、土壤质地[5]、土壤深度[6]、林火干扰[7]、物理扰动[8]等。全面掌握土壤有机碳矿化作用机制,对研究土壤有机质对大气CO2的源/汇作用十分重要。
近年来土壤有机碳矿化越来越受学者关注。许多研究采用一级动力学方程拟合土壤有机碳矿化动态,研究土壤有机碳各库大小和周转时间及其对土地利用变化、温度升高等的响应[9-11]。其他研究则集中在添加外源有机物对土壤有机碳矿化的影响,如凋落物[12]、养分[13]、火成碳[14]等。还有很多研究关于物理扰动对土壤有机碳矿化的影响。物理扰动对土壤有机碳矿化的影响因土壤类型、物理扰动程度、土壤有机碳稳定机制等不同,结果主要有增加[15-16],减少[17]和基本无影响[18-20]3种。当前土壤有机碳矿化研究存在的一个科学问题是过筛处理影响土壤有机碳矿化结果。野外采集的土壤样品先过筛再进行室内培养,目前相关研究采用的土壤筛有1 mm[17-18]、2 mm[16, 21]、4 mm[18]等不同孔径,这将导致不同研究间土壤有机碳矿化结果的比较变得困难。因此,系统研究过筛处理对土壤有机碳矿化的影响并揭示其作用机制,可为室内培养过程中土壤样品的处理,土壤有机碳分解格局的比较提供理论参考。
碳水化合物虽然仅占土壤有机质的很小一部分(10%~20%),却是微生物赖以生存的主要碳源和C、N矿化的重要基质[22],同时还是土壤团聚体结构形成的重要胶结物质,对土壤结构的形成和稳定具有重要作用[23-24]。目前土壤碳水化合物测定多采用水解的方法进行提取,常用的提取试剂有硫酸、三氟乙酸和盐酸[25],但有学者指出有机组分在土壤水溶液中的移动性影响微生物对其分解和利用[26-27],因此本研究采用水溶液提取土壤中现存的而非水解提取的碳水化合物。本研究以小兴安岭阔叶次生林和原始红松(Pinus koraiensis)林为对象,将不同孔径土壤筛处理的和未过筛处理的土壤样品分别在室内培养35 d,测定不同过筛处理后土壤有机碳的矿化特征以及培养前后土壤水提取碳水化合物的变化,并用一级动力学模型拟合土壤有机碳矿化参数,定量研究过筛处理对土壤有机碳矿化的影响,以期为全面理解土壤有机碳动态及其矿化作用机制提供依据。

由图 1可知,在培养初期阔叶次生林0~5 cm、5~10 cm土层有机碳矿化速率分别为140.17~236.48 mg/(kg·d)、37.81~58.46 mg/(kg·d);原始红松林0~5 cm、5~10 cm土层有机碳矿化速率分别为88.84~154.69 mg/(kg·d)、32.78~54.40 mg/(kg·d)。至培养末期,阔叶次生林0~5 cm、5~10 cm土层有机碳矿化速率分别降为40.01~51.65 mg/(kg·d)、13.32~16.17 mg/(kg·d);原始红松林0~5 cm、5~10 cm土层有机碳矿化速率分别降为29.90~39.35 mg/(kg·d)、11.05~13.59 mg/(kg·d)。2种森林类型土壤有机碳矿化速率变化趋势基本一致,随培养时间延长先急剧减小后缓慢下降。

2种森林类型土壤有机碳矿化速率对过筛处理的响应一致,即土壤有机碳矿化速率表现为1 mm过筛土>2 mm过筛土>对照。3种处理方法间土壤有机碳矿化速率的差异随培养时间延长而减小。
在相同土层,阔叶次生林土壤有机碳矿化速率大于原始红松林。同一森林类型,0~5 cm土层土壤有机碳矿化速率大于5~10 cm土层。
-
由图 2知,2种森林类型土壤有机碳矿化量均表现为1 mm过筛土>2 mm过筛土>对照。与对照相比,阔叶次生林2 mm过筛土有机碳累积矿化量增加17.57%~18.07%,1 mm过筛土增加33.18%~37.88%;原始红松林2 mm过筛土有机碳累积矿化量增加16.74%~17.05%,1 mm过筛土增加38.25%~39.16%。过筛处理能使2种森林类型土壤有机碳累积矿化量增加。

在0~5 cm土层,2个过筛处理均使土壤有机碳累积矿化量显著增加;在5~10 cm土层,仅过1 mm筛使土壤有机碳累积矿化量显著增加,过2 mm筛土壤有机碳累积矿化量增加不明显。
阔叶次生林土壤有机碳累积矿化量大于原始红松林。0~5 cm土层土壤有机碳累积矿化量显著大于5~10 cm土层。

由表 2知,过筛处理使2种森林类型土壤潜在可矿化碳C0和易矿化碳C1均增加,具体表现为1 mm过筛土>2 mm过筛土>对照。过筛处理对土壤C0影响不显著,但显著增加土壤C1的含量。与对照相比,阔叶次生林2 mm过筛土C1增加49.09%~59.58%,1 mm过筛土C1增加109.43%~132.40%;原始红松林2 mm过筛土C1增加55.76%~68.06%,1 mm过筛土C1增加91.03%~133.83%。

由图 3知,过筛处理显著增加土壤冷水提取碳水化合物(Cool water extractable carbohydrate, CWEC)含量,而1 mm过筛土和2 mm过筛土CWEC差异不显著。在培养前,阔叶次生林2 mm过筛土CWEC增加37.87%~38.66%,1 mm过筛土增加40.37%~42.53%;原始红松林2 mm过筛土CWEC增加31.11%~34.20%,1 mm过筛土增加37.71%~38.42%。经过35 d培养后,阔叶次生林对照土壤CWEC减少42.13~79.58 mg/kg,2 mm过筛土减少60.66~93.96 mg/kg,1 mm过筛土减少62.17~104.72 mg/kg;原始红松林对照减少41.66~59.07 mg/kg,2 mm过筛土减少58.65~69.15 mg/kg,1 mm过筛土减少60.24~97.21 mg/kg。可见,过筛处理不仅影响培养前土壤CWEC的含量,还影响其在培养过程中的消耗。

Figure 3. Effects of sample processing methods on soil extractable carbohydrate by cool water
阔叶次生林土壤CWEC含量显著大于原始红松林。0~5 cm土层CWEC含量显著大于5~10 cm土层。
由图 4知,不同样品处理方法对土壤热水提取碳水化合物(Hot water extractable carbohydrate, HWEC)基本无影响。与培养前相比,阔叶次生林对照土壤HWEC减少797.43~1 715.91 mg/kg,2 mm过筛土减少854.72~1 872.31 mg/kg,1 mm过筛土减少865.70~1 907.67 mg/kg;原始红松林对照减少533.71~1 143.44 mg/kg,2 mm过筛土减少563.32~1 212.48 mg/kg,1 mm过筛土减少560.47~1 340.01 mg/kg。

从表 3可以看出,土壤有机碳累积矿化量与CWEC的初始含量和变化量均呈极显著正相关关系,与结束含量相关性较差。土壤有机碳矿化量与HWEC的初始含量、结束含量及其变化量均呈显著正相关关系。可见,土壤水提取碳水化合物显著影响土壤有机碳矿化。与对照相比,过筛土有机碳累积矿化量与水提取碳水化合物初始含量和变化量的相关系数更大,即过筛处理使土壤有机碳矿化与水提取碳水化合物的关系更紧密。在培养结束时土壤有机碳累积矿化量与冷水提取碳水化合物的相关性不显著。

室内培养过程中,2种林型土壤有机碳矿化速率随着培养时间延长表现出先快速下降后缓慢降低的趋势,主要与土壤有机碳的异质性有关。土壤有机碳由一系列易分解和难分解的有机碳组成,在其分解过程中微生物优先利用易分解的活性组分,矿化速率快,当活性组分不足时微生物开始利用相对难分解的复杂组分,矿化速率逐渐下降[9, 32-33]。2种森林类型0~5 cm土层有机碳矿化速率和累积矿化量均高于5~10 cm土层,与其他研究结果一致[34-35]。研究表明上层土壤含有更多活性组分,更易被微生物所利用[2, 36]。Fontaine等[37]则认为上层土壤含有更多新鲜的枯落物,会刺激微生物活动,促进其对有机质的分解。
阔叶次生林土壤有机碳矿化速率和累积矿化量大于原始红松林,与其他研究结果相似[38-39]。森林类型主要通过改变向土壤输入凋落物的数量和种类、根系-土壤相互作用、微生物群落组成等影响土壤有机碳矿化过程[40-41]。通常阔叶林土壤具有大量凋落物和较高的溶解性有机碳含量[41-43],针叶林土壤有较多的木质素和较高的C/N比[38],因而阔叶林土壤有机碳矿化速率高于针叶林。但也有不少研究得出针叶林土壤有机碳矿化速率高于阔叶林的结果[44-45]。
-
阔叶次生林土壤热水提取碳水化合物和冷水提取碳水化合物显著高于原始红松林,与其他研究一致[27, 46]。阔叶次生林土壤热水提取碳水化合物含量是冷水提取碳水化合物的5~21倍,原始红松林土壤热水提取碳水化合物含量是冷水提取碳水化合物的3~16倍,与其他研究结果[27, 46]相符。因为高温能够水解土壤有机结构,裂解细胞,并把有机质从无机胶体上分离出来[47],且高温加速了微生物的死亡从而使更多的有机质溶解到提取液中[48-49]。过筛处理显著增加培养前土壤冷水提取碳水化合物,但对热水提取碳水化合物影响不显著,可能是因为土壤热水提取碳水化合物除了包含冷水提取碳水化合物外,大部分来自微生物细胞的裂解和有机结构的水解,其含量远高于冷水提取碳水化合物,冷水提取碳水化合物数量的变化并不能引起土壤热水提取碳水化合物的显著改变。
分析发现土壤有机碳累积矿化量与冷水、热水提取碳水化合物初始含量和变化量均呈极显著正相关,且2种林型土壤有机碳累积矿化量和冷水提取碳水化合物分布格局一致。表明冷水提取碳水化合物是土壤有机碳矿化的关键组成部分,土壤冷水提取碳水化合物的损耗很大程度上能解释土壤有机碳矿化释放的CO2。土壤有机碳累积矿化量与培养结束时的冷水提取碳水化合物相关性不显著,可能因为培养结束时土壤中有新碳水化合物生成。土壤碳水化合物含量是其生成和消耗相平衡的结果,微生物除了能将碳水化合物矿化分解为CO2外,还可将其转化为其他不同结构的碳水化合物。Kalbitz等[50]指出,在培养过程中土壤多糖含量增加主要是因为微生物的合成作用,而且细菌和真菌能够释放出多种不同结构的多糖组分。

过筛处理影响土壤有机碳矿化过程。Hassink等[17]将新西兰草地土壤分别过8和1 mm筛,发现与过8 mm筛相比,过1 mm筛使壤土和黏土有机碳矿化增加,使沙土有机碳矿化减少20%。Curtin等[18]研究表明,过4 mm筛土壤有机碳矿化与原状土相比没有差异,过1 mm筛使土壤有机碳矿化增加25%以上,并认为可能是过筛使包裹有机质暴露出来导致的;Stenger等[19]则发现过2 mm筛的新鲜土壤有机碳矿化与原状土没有差异。而陆志敏等[21]发现研磨过2 mm筛的黄泥土有机碳矿化速率和矿化量高于原状土。出现相异的研究结果可能与土壤样品过筛处理方法、土壤质地、有机碳保护机制等不同有关。
本研究发现过筛处理对小兴安岭2种森林类型土壤有机碳矿化速率的影响随着培养时间延长而减小。过筛处理使土壤有机碳矿化速率和累积矿化量增加,其中1 mm过筛土壤有机碳矿化增加量大于2 mm过筛土。采用一级动力学模型拟合土壤有机碳矿化过程,发现过筛处理对土壤潜在可矿化碳基本无影响,这与其他研究一致[18, 20],但显著增加土壤易矿化有机碳,表明过筛处理可能破坏了土壤团聚体结构,释放出被保护的活性有机碳。以上结果很大程度上可由土壤冷水提取碳水化合物的变化进行解释。碳水化合物是土壤团聚结构形成的重要胶结物质[23-24],同时冷水提取碳水化合物是土壤易矿化有机碳的关键组成部分,过筛处理破坏部分团聚体结构释放出团聚体胶结物质,显著增加土壤冷水提取碳水化合物,从而导致土壤有机碳矿化增加。因此,就小兴安岭森林土壤而言,室内培养模拟野外土壤有机碳矿化时与过1 mm筛和2 mm筛相比,不进行过筛处理或许更接近野外结果,但本研究结果仅限于过1 mm筛和过2 mm筛2个处理,更细的过筛处理后土壤有机碳矿化动态尚属未知,下一步将从团聚体分级方面深入研究土壤各组分有机碳的分解及稳定格局。虽然过筛处理使土壤有机碳矿化增加很大程度上与水提取碳水化合物的增加有关,但由于土壤有机碳矿化过程的复杂性,过筛处理使土壤有机碳矿化增加的更详尽原因还有待进一步探讨。

摘要: 采用室内培养法研究了过筛处理对小兴安岭阔叶次生林和原始红松林土壤有机碳(SOC)矿化的影响,测定了土壤有机碳矿化速率和累积矿化量(Cm),以及培养前后土壤冷水提取碳水化合物(CWEC)和热水提取碳水化合物(HWEC),利用一级动力学模型拟合土壤有机碳矿化参数:潜在可矿化碳(C0)、易矿化有机碳(C1)等,并分析了土壤Cm与冷水提取碳水化合物和热水提取碳水化合物的关系。结果表明:阔叶次生林土壤有机碳矿化速率和Cm均大于原始红松林。过筛处理使2种森林类型土壤有机碳矿化速率和累积矿化量增加,其中1 mm过筛土壤有机碳矿化增加量大于2 mm过筛土。过筛处理对2种森林类型土壤有机碳矿化速率的影响随着培养时间延长而减小。过筛处理对土壤C0无影响,却使土壤C1增加,其中2 mm过筛土C1增加49.09%~68.06%,1 mm过筛土C1增加91.03%~133.83%。过筛处理使土壤CWEC增加,但对HWEC无影响。土壤Cm与CWEC和HWEC的初始含量及变化量均呈极显著正相关,表明水提取碳水化合物是土壤有机碳矿化的关键组成部分,碳水化合物的损耗可以在很大程度上解释土壤矿化释放的CO2。综上,过筛处理破坏土壤结构,释放出部分胶结团聚体的碳水化合物,增加土壤有机碳矿化。Abstract: We explored the effects of sieving process on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization in broad-leaved secondary forest and virgin Korean pine forest in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains by using incubation method. The SOC mineralization rate, cumulative SOC mineralization (Cm), and the content of cool water extractable carbohydrate (CWEC) and hot water extractable carbohydrate (HWEC) before and after incubation were measured; the simultaneous reaction model was employed to estimate SOC mineralization parameters including soil easily mineralizable C (C1) and potentially mineralizable C (C0); the correlations between Cm, CWEC and HWEC were also analyzed. Results showed that both the mineralization rate and Cm of SOC in the broadleaved secondary forest were greater than the ones in the virgin Korean pine forest. Both the mineralization rate and Cm of SOC in two forests were increased by sieving process, and Cm in the soil sieved to 1 mm was increased more than that in the soil sieved to 2 mm. The sieving process had a decreasing impact on the mineralization rate of SOC in the two forest types as the incubation time increased, while it had little impact on C0 but did increase C1 by 49.09%-68.06% in 2 mm sieved soil and 91.03%-133.83% in 1 mm sieved soil. The sieving process increased the CWEC, but had no effect on the HWEC. Significantly positive correlations had been observed between the Cm and both the initial and changed contents of CWEC and HWEC, indicating that water extractable carbohydrate was the key factor for the mineralization of the organic carbon in soil, and that the loss of carbohydrates could largely explain the CO2 released during the soil organic carbon mineralization. In conclusion, the sieving process could destroy the soil structure, release some carbohydrates from soil aggregates, and increase the mineralization level of the organic carbon in soil.
