其他摘要 | In this paper, to estimate carbon density of Robinia pseudoacacia, Pinus tabulaeformis
plantation and Quercus liaotungensis natural forest ecosystems for different stand ages more
accurately, we tracked 8-, 18-, 28-, and 37-year-old Robinia, 9-, 23-, 33- and 47-year-old Pinus
and 20-, 45-, 75-, and 105- year-old Quercus forests in Hilly Loess Region in China, through
field investigation, laboratory analysis and data processing analysis, studying the boimass and
carbon content in plant organs, litter and soil, as well as the carbon storage and its allocation in
different layers. The main results were as follows.
(1) The biomass of the arbor layer of Robinia, Pinus and Quercus increased with stand age.
The arbor layer biomass of Robinia, Pinus and Quercus were in the range of 18.76—134.86
t/hm 2 , 1.83—134.00 t/hm 2 and 24.79—52.52 t/hm 2 . In most cases, the orders of biomass of
different arbor organs were obvious. The biomass distribution ratios of different arbor organs
changed with different tree ages. The proportion of ground and underground decreased with
increasing tree age, and the proportions of Robinia and Pinus were lower than Quercus. The
biomass of shrub were in the order of branches > roots > leaves. The biomass of shrub branches
were significantly higher than roots and leaves. Herb was shown as aboveground biomass was
significantly larger than the underground part. The total biomass of Robinia, Pinus and Quercus
forests with increasing stand age showed an increasing trend. Average biomass in the different
components of the studied forest ecosystems were in the order of: arbor layer > litter layer >
undergrowth vegetation layer. Arbor layer biomass of the three species and the total community
biomass had a significant positive correlation. Arbor layer as the main body of forests taked the
largest biomass proportion of vegetation, and directly determined the trend of the total biomass
of vegetation.
(2) By analysis of variance, the carbon content was significantly different in organs of the
same age forests. The carbon content of same organ was significantly different in Robinia, Pinus
and Quercus, too. The average carbon content of various organs of Robinia, Pinus and Quercus
were in the range of 38.9%—43.6%, 47.3%—53.3% and 39.9%—45.9%, respectively. Carbon
content of Robinia, Pinus and Quercus calculated with biomass weight were 41.89%, 50.83%
and 44.55%, respectively. Shrub carbon content of various organs was in the order of branches >
leaves > root. The carbon content of herbs was greater in the above-ground portion than in the
underground portion. The general performance of the average carbon content of the forest layers were shrub > herb > litter, and significantly lower than the tree layer carbon content. The organic
carbon content of Robinia, Pinus and Quercus soil (0–100 cm) was between 0.51%—3.61%,
0.30%—2.70% and 0.33%—2.68%, respectively. Robinia deep soil organic carbon content was
significantly higher than that of Pinus and Quercus, and gradually increased with stand age. Soil
organic carbon content also existed significant difference of different forest ages in the same soil
layer. The soil organic carbon content in different soil layers of the same age forests were
significantly different. The forests soil organic carbon content had an obvious vertical
distribution characteristic: the surface soil layer had a higher organic carbon content and organic
carbon content gradually decreased as soil depth increased.
(3) The carbon density in arbor layers of Robinia, Pinus and Quercus increased with
increasing stand age significantly. The carbon density in arbor layers of Robinia, Pinus and
Quercus were in the range of 7.65—57.15, 0.90—60.20 and 10.63—23.62 t/hm 2 ,
respectively.The soil layer carbon density of Robinia increased with increasing stand age, and in
the range of 7.65—57.15 t/hm 2 . The soil layer carbon density of Pinus and Quercus first
increased and then decreased with increasing stand age, and in the range of 65.05—100.73 t/hm 2
and 88.47—112.03 t/hm 2 , respectively. The proportion of vegetation carbon density increased
with increasing tree age continually, whereas that of soil carbon density had the opposite pattern.
Forest age was a dominant factor affecting the carbon density of the forest communities. Carbon
density in different components of the studied forest ecosystems was in the order of: soil layer >
vegetation layer > litter layer.
