Abstract

Abstract: To examine the effects of management measures on carbon and nitrogen contents, as well as their distribution and structural characteristics of different soil fractions in Moso bamboo plantations, we compared three types of the bamboo forests (undisturbed, extensively managed, and intensively managed) and the control secondary broadleaved evergreen forest using the methods of physical fractionation, chemical and biological analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that soil total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) content, as well as free particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, soluble organic carbon and nitrogen (DOC, DON), and mineral-associated organic carbon and nitrogen in the undisturbed and extensively managed Moso bamboo plantations were significantly increased compared with that in the control. The distribution ratio of free particulate organic carbon and nitrogen in the undisturbed Moso bamboo plantation significantly increased, with mineral-associated organic carbon being the largest reservoir of soil organic carbon (67.6%). Intensive management resulted in the decrease of soil organic carbon, total nitrogen storage, and the contents of each component, but significantly increased DOC/TOC, the ratio of microbial biomass nitrogen to TN as well as the ratio of microbial biomass carbon to TOC (microbial quotient). Management measures significantly affected the chemical structure of SOC. Compared with the control, the relative intensities of phenolic and alcoholic-OH, aliphatic methyl and methylene, aromatic C=C, and carbonyl C=O absorption were higher in the SOC of undisturbed and extensively managed Moso bamboo plantations, and soil hydrophobicity was significantly increased. Results from correlation analysis showed that soil hydrophobicity and the content of aliphatic and aromatic groups were negatively correlated with microbial quotient and positively correlated with TOC and TN content. In conclusion, the increased inputs of organic matter residues (such as litter and roots) could contribute to the relative accumulation of chemical resistance compounds with reduced human disturbance, which significantly enhanced chemical stability of soil organic carbon. Soil clay minerals played a key role in protecting soil organic carbon through the formation of mineral-organic compounds, which facilitate the stability of soil carbon storage and the long-term preservation of soil carbon.
