黄河口滨岸潮滩湿地植物-土壤系统有机碳空间分布特征

了解黄河三角洲滨海湿地有机碳状况是开展我国典型砂质和淤泥型海滩湿地生物地球化学过程及湿地生态修复研究的基础,通过对黄河三角洲自然保护区新生滨海湿地植物-土壤系统有机碳的空间分布特征及其影响因子的研究表明,不同类型湿地植物碳含量差异性不大,而植物碳密度变化幅度较大,且其空间变化趋势与植物生物量空间分布格局相似,均呈M型.表层土壤有机碳含量范围在0.75～8.35 g·kg-1之间,明显低于淡水沼泽湿地生态系统, 土壤有机碳密度分布趋势与土壤有机碳含量基本一致.相关分析表明,pH值与土壤有机碳密度呈负相关,土壤TN、C/N、含盐量与土壤有机碳密度呈线性正相关性,而土壤有机碳密度、土壤TN、C/N、pH值、含盐量与植物碳密度相关性不显著.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Organic Carbon in the Soil-Plant Systems in the Yellow River Estuary Tidal Flat Wetland

Well-understand the organic carbon status in the Yellow River delta is the most important for studying the biogeochemical processes of the muddy-sandy coastal wetland and ecological restoration. The spatial distribution characteristics and its impact factors of organic carbon in the plant-soil systems of new-born tidal flat wetland in the Yellow River estuary were studied. The results showed that the difference of plant organic carbon content in different plant communities were not obvious, however significant difference of the plant organic carbon density was observed. Moreover, the M-shaped spatial distribution of the plant organic carbon density, which was similar to the plant biomass, was found in the study. The organic carbon contents in top soils were varied from 0.75 to 8.35 g·kg^-1, which was much lower than that in the typical freshwater marsh wetlands ecosystem. The spatial distribution trend of soil organic carbon density was similar to the soil organic carbon. The correlation analysis showed that soil organic carbon density was negatively correlated with pH, and positively correlated with TN, C/N and salinity. However, the correlations of plant organic carbon density with the soil organic carbon density, TN, C/N, pH and salinity were not significant.
