Understanding the effects of soil stoichiometry and nutrient resorption on soil CO2 emissions is critical for predicting forest ecosystem nutritional demands and limitations tooptimal forest growth. In this study, we examined the effects of above- and belowground stoichiometry on soil CO2 emissions and their mediating effect on soil respiration in subtropical moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) plantations. Our results showed that the soil respiration rate did not differ significantly among four bamboo stands. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) concentrations were higher in bamboo leaves than litter, whereas the C:N and C:P ratios showed the opposite trend. Significant positive correlations of soil cumulative CO2 emission with litter C:P (p = 0.012) and N:P (p = 0.041) ratios indicated that litter stoichiometry was a better predictor of soil respiration than aboveground stoichiometry. Cumulative soil CO2 emissions were significantly negatively correlated with soil microbe C:N (p = 0.021) and C:N (p = 0.036) ratios, and with soil respiratory quotients (p< 0.001). These results suggest that litter and soil stoichiometry are reliable indicators of the soil respiration rate. This study provides important information about the effects of ecosystem stoichiometry and soil microbial biomass on soil CO2 emissions and highlights them editing role of soil nutritional demands and limitations in the association between soil respiration rates and aboveground plant tissues.

The stoichiometric characteristics of plant tissue (living or dead) can influence carbon (C) and nutrient dynamics in forest ecosystems. Numerous investigations have focused on green leaves in site or regional areas, but few on leaf litter, especially for tree species with a wide distribution. Here, we collected 57 leaf litter samples of Chinese fir from 19 sites across subtropical China and determined the C, N and P concentrations and stoichiometric ratios, and related these leaf litter variables with geographical and climatic variables, as well as with soil chemistry, which were assessed through soil sampling at the 19 sites. The results showed that the mean leaf litter C, N and P concentrations (namely nutrient resorption proficiency, NuRP) were 458.3 ± 4.0 mg g−1, 8.9 ± 0.3 mg g−1, and 0.46 ± 0.02 mg g−1, respectively. The mean C:N, C:P, and N:P ratios were 52.9 ± 1.9, 1049.8 ± 43.8, and 19.8 ± 0.6, respectively. Concentrations of leaf litter N and P were strongly positively correlated with each other (p < 0.001), while no significant correlation was found between the C and N, or C and P concentrations (p>0.05). The leaf litter stoichiometry showed linear or nonlinear relationships with the geographical, climatic and soil chemical variables. Hierarchical partitioning (HP) analysis showed that the geographical and climatic variables explained most of the variation in leaf litter C and N concentrations and in the N:P ratio. Variation in the leaf litter P concentration was mainly regulated by soil chemical variables. Overall, our findings indicated that the resorption proficiency of the leaf litter was at intermediate level for both N and P. The leaf litter stoichiometry of Chinese fir was driven by the geographical location, mean temperature and precipitation conditions and soil nutrient status at a regional scale. Our results provided new insights into the ability of Chinese fir to adapt to future climate conditions, and also increased our understandings of drivers of the elemental biogeochemical cycle.

Understanding patterns and drivers of leaf carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) stoichiometry and nutrient resorption at large geographical scales is important to understand the plant adaptation strategy under climate changes. However, most current knowledge was obtained from multi-species based on field investigation and literature data. Whether it is equally applicable to individual species needs further exploration. Here, we determined C, N, and P concentrations of mature leaf and leaf litter, and calculated the nutrient resoprtion efficiency (NuRE) from 19 Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook) plantations across subtropical China with relatively wide ranges of latitude and altitude. Results showed that leaf C concentration was high, while leaf N and P concentrations were low, leading to high C:N and C:P ratios in leaf. The CRE was relatively low, and PRE was significantly higher than NRE. Leaf C concentration and CRE increased with latitude, mainly driven by mean annual temperature (MAT). Leaf P concentration and PRE increased, and C:P and N:P ratios decreased with altitude, mainly driven by soil P concentration. In middle-aged group, stand age significantly affected the leaf N and P concentrations, and the C:N and C:P ratios. CRE and PRE were influenced by leaf C and P concentration, respectively. These results indicated that leaf C, N and P stoichiometry and nutrient resorption displayed different spatial patterns in subtropical China, which were mainly induced by the variations of heats and soil P status. Additionally, our findings suggested that forest development affected the leaf stoichiometry but not the nutrient resorption in the middle-aged group. Overall, this study is expected to reveal the nutrient trade-off mechanism of Chinese fir in response to future climate change, and to provide reference for basic stoichiometric parameters of individual species for the establishment schemes in the carbon and nutrient cycling model for large-scale plantation.

Biochar addition to soil is increasing worldwide, the effect of combined application of biochar and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soil respiration is still unknown. Understanding of the interactive effects of biochar and N fertilizer addition on temperature sensitivity of soil respiration and temporal dynamics of soil CO2 emissions in forest ecosystems remains limited. We conducted a full factorial experiment with biochar (B0, B1 and B2 with 0, 5 and 20 t·ha−1, respectively) and N fertilizer addition (N0 and N1 with 0 and 50 kg·ha−1 NH4NO3, respectively) as factors, to study their effects on soil respiration rate, temperature sensitivity (Q10), soil available nutrients, and their relations in moso bamboo plantations in subtropical China from April 2014 to April 2016. We found that, irrespective of biochar addition rate, N fertilization increased Q10 on the one hand, and irrespective of N fertilization rate, lower application rate of biochar resulted in a higher Q10, on the other hand. In spite of increased Q10, combined application of biochar and N decreased soil respiration rate in both growing season and non-growing season, as well as the annual cumulative soil CO2 emissions. Annual cumulative soil CO2 emissions were found to be significantly positively correlated with soil total nitrogen (STN) (p = 0.028) in 0–10 cm soil layer, and with soil ammonium (NH4+) (p = 0.000) and soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) (p = 0.000) in both 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm soil layer. The present study suggests that the combined application of biochar and N fertilizer can be widely used in subtropical forest ecosystems where soil N is limited, because it increases soil fertility and, at the same time, decreases soil CO2 emissions.

Both exotic and native plant invasions can have profound impacts on ecosystems. While many studies have examined the effects of exotic plant invasions on soil properties, relatively few have tested the effects of native plant invasions on soil microbial communities. Furthermore, we know little about the effects of native plant invasions on microbial communities in litter. In subtropical forests in southern China, we sampled litter at three decomposition stages and top soil in three forest sands representing three stages of the invasion (not invaded, moderately and heavily invaded) by the Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis (Carriere) J. Houzeau), a native species in China. We measured chemical properties (concentrations of C, N, P, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Mn, Cu, and Zn, and concentrations of cellulose and lignin) and microbial communities in litter and/or soil. The bamboo invasion, in general, decreased the element concentrations in litter and soil and also decreased total microbial abundance and diversity. Considering bacteria and fungi separately, the bamboo invasion decreased fungal diversity in litter and soil, but had little impact on bacterial diversity, suggesting that fungi are more sensitive and vulnerable to the bamboo invasion than bacteria. We conclude that native Moso bamboo invasions into subtropical forests may lead to a complex biogeochemical process in the litter–soil system, which may threaten local forest ecosystems by affecting microbial communities and, thus, litter decomposition and nutrient cycling.

An increasing number of moso bamboo habitats are suffering severe drought events. The improvement in our understanding of the mechanisms of drought-resistance in moso bamboo benefits their genetic improvement and maintenance of forest sustainability. Here, we investigated the metabolic changes across the annual growth cycle of moso bamboo in the field under drought stress using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based on untargeted metabolomic profiling. Our results showed that the metabolic profiles induced by drought stress were relatively consistent among the three growth stages. Specifically, most responsive metabolites exhibited enhanced accumulation under drought stress, including anthocyanins, glycosides, organic acids, amino acids, and sugars and sugar alcohols. The potential metabolism pathways involved in the response to drought stress were mainly included into amino acid metabolism and sugar metabolism pathways. Five common responsive metabolic pathways were found among three growth stages, including linoleic acid metabolism, ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis, tyrosine metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism and isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis. Overall, our findings provide new insights into the responsive mechanisms of the moso bamboo under drought stress in terms of metabolic profiles.

In 2008, an unexpected and severe ice storm affected the forest of southern China. This storm caused damage in regeneration of an important dominant tree, Schima superba (Gugertree). To study this damage, we set up permanent monitoring plots in an ice-storm-damaged subtropical evergreen broad-leaved secondary forest dominated by S.superba in Jianglang Mountains, China. We surveyed the damage to all trees with a minimum basal diameter of 4 cm and monitored their growth for 6 consecutive years. We analyzed the degrees and types of damage for S.superba and their relationships with resprouting characteristics. The results revealed that the main damage types of S.superba were decapitation (45.45%) and uprooting (28.41%). The distribution percentage for both decapitated and uprooted trees were commonly highest in the range of 10–16 cm basal diameter (BD) size class. A great number of individuals sprouted vigorously after the storm. The mean total sprout number and sprout biomass per tree for S.superba varied by tree BD size class. During the first three years after the ice storm, decapitated trees of larger BD classes produced more sprouts per tree than trees of smaller BD classes. However, the opposite trend was seen in uprooted and leaning trees. There was a trade-off between the total number and length of the sprouts. The difference of mean sprouts number and biomass per tree with size class was mainly related to the damage types. As the recovery progressed since the ice storm, the number of sprouts and sprout biomass in uprooted trees was found mainly on the middle trunk sections of uprooted trees, but in the upper sections of decapitated trees. After six years, the mean number of sprouts per tree, on different parts of the tree and for the three types of damaged trees all declined; however, sprout biomass per tree all increased. The mean number of sprout and sprout biomass per tree on different sections for decapitated trees was always highest over time since the storm. Our study will help to provide data on resprouting ability to develop a predictive model for resprouting.

Plant growth and vegetation productivity were generally limited either by nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) worldwide. To date, our current understandings on plant nutrient limitation are primarily derived from site-specific studies. By taking account into more factors, studies on regional or larger scales might resolve the divergences effectively arisen from regional differences, which would help provide new insights for plant nutrient limitation. In this study, we made an attempt to evidence the particular element that limiting the growth of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Chinese fir) based on a regional investigation. Firstly, we found that leaf N:P ratio (11.49) was significantly lower than 14, which suggested and evidenced that the growth of Chinese fir was limited by N. Next, leaf N concentration was less affected by the environmental variables, showing low variability. Leaf P concentration and N:P ratio were significantly affected by soil P concentration (SP), mean annual temperature (MAT) and altitude (ALT), and both of them showed high variability. Hence under same regional environmental changes, the level of the variability in leaf N or P concentration might affect the N or P supply for plant growth. Thirdly, the P resorption efficiency (PRE) was significantly higher than N resorption efficiency (NRE). Leaf N:P ratio decreased with the increasing PRE and |NRE − PRE|. Overall, our findings suggested that in subtropical China, low leaf N:P ratios, low N variability under, and high PRE were three major pieces of evidence that induce N- limitation for the growth of Chinese fir.

Drought can severely affect carbon dynamics in forest ecosystems through impacts on carbon storage, reduced carbon fixation, abatement of the carbon sink function, and alteration of carbon sink-source relationships. Currently, little is known about the effects of drought on the productivity and spatial patterns of carbon in bamboo forests. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of imposed drought on the carbon storage and soil carbon dynamics of a bamboo forest ecosystem in subtropical area of China. Drought was imposed via throughfall exclusion in moso bamboo forest from July 2012 to April 2013. Results indicated that bamboo shoots, new culms, shoot height, and diameter at breast height were significantly lower in throughfall exclusion (TE) plots than in control check (CK) plots, with decrease of 64.6, 70.8, 10.6 and 11.3%, respectively. Annual carbon sequestration for TE plots was 58.1% lower than that for CK plots. Soil carbon storage in the 0–60-cm layer in CK and TE plots decreased by 3.7 and 12.2%, respectively, indicating that drought can decrease soil respiration by altering substrate availability. Ecosystem carbon storage increased by 4.75 t ha−1 in CK plots but decreased by 13.71 t ha−1 in TE plots. Our findings highlight that drought can reduce carbon storage and alter the spatial pattern of carbon in moso bamboo forest ecosystems, particularly when drought occurs during the development bamboo shoot. Our findings should provide a better understanding of carbon sequestration potential and aid determination of how future climate change may impact carbon budgets.

Soil water content is an important factor that influences plant growth of different forests, and then affecting the forest ecosystem carbon storage through the net primary productivity. In this study, a throughfall exclusion experiment was carried out to explore effects of drought on vegetation carbon storage in moso bamboo forest in North Zhejiang of China. The results were showed as follows. The vegetation carbon storage of moso bamboo forest under throughfall exclusion treatment was 14.35% lower than the control plots. And the net CO2 sequestration was 125.07% lower than the control plots. The litterfall in control plots has a tiny drop when compared with the throughfall exclusion plots. These results indicated that drought could reduce forest ecosystem carbon storage and carbon fixation capacity.

To provide an important basic knowledge for the biogeochemical cycle of bamboo forest ecosystem, particularly the cycling of global carbon, we studied decomposition dynamics of leaf-litter with different mass accumulation in moso bamboo forest. Our study area located in Miaoshanwu nature reserve, Fuyang, Zhejiang province. Based on the survey, we concluded that: (1) the sequence of remaining mass of leaf-litter with different mass accumulation after 240 days' decomposition from the most to the least was in the following order: 30g (58.53%) > 60g (51.92%) > 90g (48.48%), implying that leaf-litter with more mass accumulation decomposed faster in the unit area. (2)The more accumulated leaf-litter lead to more TOC loss in leaf-litter which will not helpful for TOC increase on surface soil carbon pools. This implying that the faster leaf-litter decomposed, the less TOC increased on surface soil carbon pools in 240 day s' observation. (3)The concentration of N, P, K and Ca showed the similar tendency with initially increasing but decreasing gradually in the following stage and then increasing again in the next stage. And concentration of Mg, Fe, Cu and Zn increased gradually in the period of 0-240 days.

Both soil temperature and soil water condition are important factors that influence soil respiration at different forest. In this study, a throughfall exclusion experiment was carried out to explore effects of increased soil temperature and decreased soil water content on soil respirations in the bamboo forest in North Zhejiang of China. The results showed that 1) monthly variation in soil respiration ranges from 2.00 to 0.63μmol·m-2·s-1 and 2.20 to 0.66μmolm-2s-1in throughfall exclusion and control plots respectively. The soil respiration monthly variation following the monthly variation of soil temperature and in contrast to the monthly soil water content. 2) Soil temperature can explain 65.5%and 73.9% of the variance of soil respiration in throughfall exclusion and control plots respectively. Multivariate linear model based on temperature and soil water content explained 66.9% and 73.4% of the variance of soil respiration in throughfall exclusion and control plots respectively. Soil water content had no significant relationship with soil respiration. Q10 values of throughfall exclusion and control plots were 5.99 and 4.44.

Under different photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of upper and middle layers of 3-year old bamboo were significantly higher than that of lower layer. When the light was greater than 800 umol·m-2·s-1, the Pn of bamboo in middle layer was in the order of 3-year-old > 4-year- old >2-year-old >7-year-old bamboo. When the light was greater than 500 umol·m-2·s-1, Pn of lower layer was in the order of 3-year old > 4-year old >2-year old, while in the order of 3-year-old > 2-year -old >4-year-old bamboo during the low light range (PAR

An unprecedented ice storm occurred in south China in early 2008, bringing extensive damages and huge losses to human beings and natural ecosystems. By site specific survey, coupled with review of the government documents and reports, we made an ecological impact assessment on the ice storm. 19 provinces were attacked with a population of over 100 million affected. The ice storm caused extensive damage to vegetation, crops, wildlife and insects. A total forestland of 19.4 million hectares impacted, with 340 million m3 standing volume lost. The ecological service of the forests considerably impaired, with the capacity of the water and soil conservation, water resources conservancy and carbon sequestration weakened largely. An area of 14.32 million hectares crops were impacted, with oilseed rape, vegetable and fruit severely damaged. 30,000 wild animals under special state protection were died or injured due to the storm, and distribution and population density of some insects were impacted.

Distribution, formation ways and seedlings regeneration characteristics of forest gaps were studied on Schima superba forest after the snowstorm disturbance in Jianglang Mountain, Zhejiang Province, which would provide scientific basis for the community regeneration and post-disaster recovery. The results showed that: the forest gaps area with 50~100m2 of most expanded gaps occupied the highest percentage in number (45.0% of the total), which also occupied the highest percentage in size (30.3% of the total), while the canopy forest gaps area of 25~50m2 occupied the highest percentage in number and size (50% of the total and 36.39% of the total). The most important way of forest gaps formation was breakage on trunk, and the secondly important way was uprooting. In different sizes forest gaps, regeneration density of Schima superba showed a single peak changes with the increasing of forest gaps size and the regeneration density of the middle area forests gaps was most.

The photosynthetic ecophysiological characters of 4 different Illicium lanceolatum provenances in three different growth seasons were measured. The results showed that significant differences of photosynthesis were existed among provenances and their growth seasons. 1) In the early growth period, the decreasing order of the mean daily net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of 4 provenances were Lin’an (LA), Nan’ping (NP), Kai’hua (KH), and Wu’ning (WN) provenance and the order of mean daily transpiration rate (Tr) were LA, KH, NP and WN. In the prosperous growth period, the mean daily Pn ranked as in the decreasing order of WN, KH, LA and NP, and that of mean daily Tr were WN, KH, NP and LA. In the late growth period, the decreasing order of mean daily Pn were LA, KH, WN and NP. 2) I.lanceolatum had the obvious seasonal difference in the average value of Pn and Tr and that was ranked in decreasing order as flourishing growth period>early growth period >late growth period. 3) The path coefficient analysis indicated that the decreasing orders of important factors which affected Pn were temperature of leaf (Tleaf ), internal CO2 concentration (Ci), difference of saturation of water vapor (Vpdl), Tr, stomatal conductance (Cond), temperature of air (Tair)and air CO2 concentration of (Ca).

Moso bamboo and natural secondary forests are the typical forest types in subtropical area in China. With field observation at the Qiangjiangyuan Forest Ecosystem Research Station. the effect of the two typical forests was compared on soil and water conservation and their difference was quantified. The results showed that: (1) The runoff coefficients for moso bamboo and natural broad-leaved secondary forest go up with increase of precipitation. (2) Natural broad-leaved secondary and moso bamboo forests both are pretty good in preservation of water source and water and soil conservation. The former is better than the latter. moso bamboo forest is over 90% higher than natural broadleaved secondary in runoff generation, and three times higher in sediment yield. (3) Runoff for two forest types has a significant correlation with precipitation outside the forest. Total runoff has a significant linear relation with precipitation, and the runoff coefficient has a logarithm correlation with precipitation.
