缙云山不同土地利用方式下土壤植硅体碳的含量特征

植硅体碳是长期封存土壤有机碳的一种形式,对土壤固碳有重要意义.以西南地区常见的6种土地利用方式(针阔叶混交林、竹林、果园、旱地、水田和荒草地)为研究对象,探讨了不同土地利用方式下植硅体碳含量在不同剖面上(0～20、20～40、40～60和60～100 cm)的分布规律,并估算了植硅体碳储量,分析了陆地生态系统碳汇特征.结果表明,在6种土地利用方式中,竹林土壤有机碳和植硅体含量在土壤剖面上的平均值均为最高,分别为16. 75 g·kg-1和59. 66 g·kg-1.在4个土层,竹林土壤植硅体含量均显著高于其他土地利用方式(P 0. 05).对植硅体碳而言,6种土地利用方式下的土壤植硅体碳平均含量变化范围在0. 55～1. 96 g·kg-1,其中竹林各土层的植硅体碳含量都高于其他土地利用方式.竹林土壤植硅体碳总储量(23. 45 t·hm-2)显著高于其他土地利用方式土壤植硅体碳总储量(P 0. 05).统计分析表明,土壤全硅与土壤植硅体、土壤植硅体碳均表现出极显著的正相关关系(P 0. 01).不同土地利用方式下土壤植硅体与植硅体碳的含量总体表现为随着土层深度的增加而下降,存在一定的表层富集现象.

Content of Soil Phytolith-Occluded Organic Carbon in Different Land Use Patterns at Jinyun Mountain

Phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) is a form of long-term storage of soil organic carbon, which is of great significance for soil carbon sequestration. Taking six land use patterns in southwest China as the research object, including coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest, bamboo forest, orchard, dry land, paddy field, and grassland, we compare the distribution of the PhytOC content under the different land use patterns in different depth sections of 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, and 60-100 cm. In addition, we estimate the storage of phytOC and analyze the carbon sequestration characteristics of the terrestrial ecosystems. According to the results, the soil organic carbon and phytolith mean content in the bamboo forest were the highest in the soil profile, at 16.75 g·kg^-1 and 59.66 g·kg^-1, respectively. In all soil layers, the phytolith content of the bamboo forest soil was significantly higher than that in other land use patterns (P<0.05). The average content of soil phytOC in the six land use patterns ranged from 0.55 to 1.96 g·kg^-1, and the phytOC content of each layer of bamboo forest was higher than that in other land uses. The total carbon storage of phytOC in the bamboo forest soil, at 23.45 t·hm^-2, was significantly higher than that of other soil use methods (P<0.05). Statistical analysis showed that soil silicon had a significant positive correlation with the soil phytolith and the soil phytOC (P<0.01). The soil phytolith and phytolith carbon content in different land use patterns generally showed a decrease with an increase in soil depth, and a certain surface enrichment phenomenon was noted.
