Changes in soil infiltration and water flow paths: Insights from subtropical forest succession sequence
2023, CatenaCitation Excerpt :At present, the forest water resources in this region are facing severe challenges due to the intense human activities (Zhao et al., 2019). The characteristics of soil water along forest successional gradient have been preliminarily acknowledged in this region, which help to recognize forest water conservation function (Liu et al., 2020; Yan et al., 2007). However, the knowledge of soil water flow patterns in different forest succession processes is not clearly known yet.
Distinct storage mechanisms of soil organic carbon in coniferous forest and evergreen broadleaf forest in tropical China
2021, Journal of Environmental ManagementCitation Excerpt :The two forest types have distinct characteristics both above- and below-ground, including marked differences in plant diversity, aboveground biomass, litter quality, soil microbial communities, soil texture, as well as soil mineral elements and exchangeable cations, all of which have been extensively studied (Sun et al., 2013; Zhou et al., 2007; Yan et al., 2007; Li et al., 2013; Lu et al., 2015). The coniferous forest is generally characterized by lower annual litterfall and higher litter C/N ratio compared to evergreen broadleaf forest (Huang et al., 2011) and the coniferous forest soils have lower concentrations of Al and Fe, but similar concentrations of Ca, compared to evergreen broadleaf forest (Yan et al., 2007; Jiang et al., 2018). Such differences in the quantity and quality of plant litter inputs and soil characteristics between the two forest types are also associated with distinct patterns in C accumulation (Zhou et al., 2006; Tang et al., 2011), but there is lack of information about the protection mechanisms for SOC in the two forest types.
The effects of introducing Flemingia macrophylla to rubber plantations on soil water content and exchangeable cations
2019, CatenaCitation Excerpt :Soil pH was determined in CO2-free de-ionized water using a pH electrode, with a soil: liquid ratio of 1:2.5 (w/v). The exchangeable elements (Ca, Mg, K and Na) were extracted with 1 mol L−1 NH4OAc, and the concentrations of each base cation in the extracts measured using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) (Yuan et al., 2007). Statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS software package (SAS Institute, 1990).
Effect of early dry season induced by the Three Gorges Dam on the soil microbial biomass and bacterial community structure in the Dongting Lake wetland
2015, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :A correlation analysis also showed a significant positive correlation between the CEC and the SOM, which was in agreement with the results of Wu et al. (2010). This correlation agreed with the theory that the SOM is the most important factor for determining the CEC (Yan et al., 2007). The moisture and the CEC changed because these parameters were correlated with the SOM.
