Abstract

Abstract: Based on a long-term simulated acid rain experiment, soil N₂O emission fluxes were measured using static chambers and the gas chromatography method in a coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest and a monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest in southern China. During the five-year observation periods (2014-2018), soil N₂O emission fluxes in the two forests showed obvious seasonal variation. The soil N₂O emission fluxes in wet season were significantly higher than that in dry season, with a large annual variation. Due to the decreases of precipitation, soil N₂O emission fluxes of the two forests in 2017 and 2018 were generally low. Soil N₂O emission flux was positively correlated with soil temperature and soil moisture. In the monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest, soil N₂O emission flux in the control plot was 12.6 μg N₂O·m^-2·h^-1. Soil N₂O emission fluxes under the pH 3.5 and pH 3.0 treatments increased by 42.9% and 61.1%, respectively. Soil N₂O emission was significantly increased under simulated acid rain in the monsoon evergreen broadleaved forest. Acid rain promoted soil N₂O emission in the coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest, but without significant difference among the treatments. Under the scenario of increasing acid rain, soil N₂O emission fluxes in typical subtropical southern China forests would increase, and the magnitude of such increase was different among forest types.

Key words: soil N₂O emission, simulated acid rain, subtropical southern China forest
