摘要：

Soil enzyme activity is an important index to characterize the nutrient requirements and nutrient limitations of soil microorganisms. In this study, Pinus massoniana plantations of different stand ages (9, 17, 26, 34, and 43 a) in mid-subtropical China were taken as the research object; the activities of β-glucosidase (BG), N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase (NAG), leucine amino-peptidase (LAP), acid phosphatase (AP), polyphenol oxidase (POX), and peroxidase (POD) were determined; and soil enzyme stoichiometric ratios were also calculated to investigate the soil microbial nutrient limitations of P. massoniana plantation development. The results showed that the activities of BG, NAG, AP, POX, and POD were enhanced with the increase in stand age, and the activity of LAP was the lowest at 17 a, which showed a significant difference and fluctuated among the neighboring stand ages. The soil enzyme C:N:P stoichiometric ratio was 1:1:0.56, which deviated from the global ecosystem enzyme C:N:P stoichiometric ratio (1:1:1). The enzyme C:N increased, whereas the enzyme N:P decreased, with increasing stand age, and both ratios tended to be stable after 17 a. There was no significant difference in enzyme N:P among different stand ages. The vector length of enzyme stoichiometry was not significantly different among the five stand ages. The vector angles increased with the increase in stand ages and tended to be stable after 17 a of stand age, but the angles were less than 45°. Redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that soil carbon quality index and pH were the main factors influencing soil enzyme activity and the associated stoichiometric ratio. Our findings indicated that P. massoniana plantation soil microorganisms at different growth stages were all subjected to N limitation, and the N limitation was alleviated with the increase in stand age; however, the P requirement was gradually enhanced. Therefore, the management of P. massoniana plantations should take care to increase nitrogen fertilizer at the early growth stage of P. massoniana, and more phosphorus fertilizers need to be applied with nitrogen at the late growth stage in order to maintain the productivity and sustainable development of P. massoniana plantations. © 2022, Science Press.
