摘要
Temperate forest soils are often considered as an important sink for atmospheric carbon (C), thereby buffering anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, the effect of tree species composition on the magnitude of this sink is unclear. We resampled a tree species common garden experiment (six sites) a decade after initial sampling to evaluate whether forest floor (FF) and topsoil organic carbon (C-org) and total nitrogen (N-t) stocks changed in dependence of tree species (Norway spruce-Picea abies L., European beech-Fagus sylvatica L., pedunculate oak-Quercus robur L., sycamore maple-Acer pseudoplatanus L., European ash-Fraxinus excelsior L. and small-leaved lime-Tilia cordata L.). Two groups of species were identified in terms of C-org and N-t distribution: (1) Spruce with high C-org and N-t stocks in the FF developed as a mor humus layer which tended to have smaller C-org and N-t stocks and a wider C-org:N-t ratio in the mineral topsoil, and (2) the broadleaved species, of which ash and maple distinguished most clearly from spruce by very low C-org and N-t stocks in the FF developed as mull humus layer, had greater C-org and N-t stocks, and narrow C-org:N-t ratios in the mineral topsoil. Over 11 years, FF C-org and N-t stocks increased most under spruce, while small decreases in bulk mineral soil (esp. in 0-15 cm and 0-30 cm depth) C-org and N-t stocks dominated irrespective of species. Observed decadal changes were associated with site-related and tree species-mediated soil properties in a way that hinted towards short-term accumulation and mineralisation dynamics of easily available organic substances. We found no indication for C-org stabilisation. However, results indicated increasing N-t stabilisation with increasing biomass of burrowing earthworms, which were highest under ash, lime and maple and lowest under spruce. Highlights We studied if tree species differences in topsoil C-org and N-t stocks substantiate after a decade. The study is unique in its repeated soil sampling in a multisite common garden experiment. Forest floors increased under spruce, but topsoil stocks decreased irrespective of species. Changes were of short-term nature. Nitrogen was most stable under arbuscular mycorrhizal species.
