In this study soil samples were taken from the O/A and B horizons of undisturbed forest, active pasture, and 8- to 12-year-old teak and mixed native plantations. Samples were analyzed for K, Ca, Mg, soil organic carbon, pH, exchangeable acidity, bulk density, and compared with a fertility equation. Bulk density was significantly lower in the undisturbed forest than other land uses, suggesting that after approximately 10 years of growth neither plantation lowered bulk density significantly from that of the active pasture. Teak plantations had significantly higher Mg and K (B horizon) and Ca (O/A horizon) concentrations than the undisturbed forest. This trend suggests that exchangeable base concentrations increase when land use changes from undisturbed forest to pasture, then pasture to plantation, with the most pronounced effect of this in teak plantations exhibiting more high fertility plots than other land uses. Soil organic carbon concentration was similar for all land uses except for a significantly lower concentration in teak plantations than in active pasture (O/A horizons). These results suggest that teak plantations may be advantageous for increasing soil fertility but, with respect to restoration of undisturbed forest conditions, present significant deviations in soil chemistry. Options for improved plantations soil management are discussed.  相似文献

Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) is widely planted in the world due to its high market demand, economic, ecological and social value. Its plantations have mostly been established and expanded into sites that are acidic to severely acidic in southern China. But, there are no available and specific evidence-based nutrient management techniques. To better recognize and understand the relationship between teak tree growth and nutrient content in the foliage and soil and establish nutrient norms are critical to optimally manage these young plantations. We studied the foliar nutrient and soil chemistry in 19 representative teak plantations aged 5–8 years. Regression analysis indicated that the mean annual increment of teak volume was linearly and positively correlated with foliar N, Ca, Fe and B concentrations, with soil base saturation percentage, available P and Zn concentrations, and negatively correlated with soil Al concentration. Only if the Ca and Mg contents in soil were enhanced, could the increase in soil base saturation percentage benefit teak growth. A revised classification of low-and high-yielding stands was established by using a sorting method of principal components over 6 foliar macro and 8 micro elements in a Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS). Specific DRIS norms for teak plantations in acid soils were derived. The nutrient balance of N, P, K Ca, Mg, Zn, B with Fe or Al, Ca with Mg, and Fe with Al provided a key to promote the growth of teak in acid soils. Meanwhile, soil Zn was also found as a primary trace element that affected teak growth in this study.  相似文献

On alluvial sandy loams in the western Llanos of Venezuela, biomass and inventories of macronutrients were determined for ten teak plantations (0.5–9 years old) and a mature forest stand which preceded them. Mean tree and stratified random sampling methods of estimating biomass are compared with regression estimates.Aboveground biomass of the mature forest averages 398 t ha?1. The average yearly productivity of biomass per ha of the teak plantations is greater on sites with soils having higher clay contents; It was measured as 23 t (9-year-old plantation), 16 t (7 years), 10–14 t (6 years) and 7–14 t (4 years).The original ecosystem stores per ha for these sites range between 8380 and 8840 kg N (total), 4550 and 4890 kg P, 2290 and 2540 kg K, 6720 and 6850 kg Ca and 960 and 1760 kg Mg.In the mature forest most N, P and Mg is stored in the soil, whereas 70% of the K and 40–50% of the Ca is stored in the vegetation. The ecosystem K stores of the teak plantations are an average of 40% lower than in the original forest. This difference is interpreted as being due to leaching loss caused by replacement of the original forest.Using data from the literature and from this study, a nutrient budget has been calculated for the first rotation period of teak. It is predicted that substantial amounts of Ca will be removed from the site by the teak harvest. These exports may not be replenished by atmospheric inputs and soil mineral weathering, especially on the highly productive sites.  相似文献

An accurate characterization of tree carbon (TC), forest floor carbon (FFC) and soil organic carbon (SOC) in tropical forest plantations is important to estimate their contribution to global carbon stocks. This information, however, is poor and fragmented. Carbon contents were assessed in patula pine (Pinus patula) and teak (Tectona grandis) stands in tropical forest plantations of different development stages in combination with inventory assessments and soil survey information. Growth models were used to associate TOC to tree normal diameter (D) with average basal area and total tree height (HT), with D and HT parameters that can be used in 6–26 years old patula pine and teak in commercial tropical forests as indicators of carbon stocks. The information was obtained from individual trees in different development stages in 54 patula pine plots and 42 teak plots. The obtained TC was 99.6 Mg ha−1 in patula pine and 85.7 Mg ha−1 in teak forests. FFC was 2.3 and 1.2 Mg ha−1, SOC in the surface layer (0–25 cm) was 92.6 and 35.8 Mg ha−1, 76.1 and 19 Mg ha−1 in deep layers (25–50 cm) in patula pine and teak, respectively. Carbon storage in trees was similar between patula pine and teak plantations, but patula pine had higher levels of forest floor carbon and soil organic carbon. Carbon storage in trees represents 37 and 60% of the total carbon content in patula pine and teak plantations, respectively. Even so, the remaining percentage corresponds to SOC, whereas FFC content is less than 1%. In summary, differences in carbon stocks between patula pine and teak trees were not significant, but the distribution of carbon differed between the plantation types. The low FFC does not explain the SOC stocks; however, current variability of SOC stocks could be related to variation in land use history.  相似文献

A large proportion of plantations of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) in southern Australia have been established on podzolized coastal sands with low nutrient reserves. Inter-rotational management of the forest floor and harvesting residues has been shown to be critical to maintain the productive capacity of these soils. In 1974 a study was initiated at the end of the first rotation to evaluate the long-term sustainability of fast-growing plantations on these podzolized sands. Growth was measured at 5, 10 and 20 years and prior to clear-felling at age 30. Soil sampling at the end of the first rotation in 1974 was repeated in 2004 prior to clear-felling to determine changes in carbon and nutrients in profiles after 30 years. Forest floor and tree biomass were measured to determine sequestration of carbon and nutrients in mature radiata pine.  相似文献

在野外调查取样和室内实验分析的基础上,对人工林与天然林的土壤养分进行比较分析,结果表明人工林土壤表层的有机质、全氮、全磷、全钾含量都明显低于天然林,反映了人工林对养分的旺盛需求和消耗,并且人工林还会造成土壤阳离子交换量的降低和土壤容重的增大。提出变炼山全垦为块状整地、轮栽并适当休闲养地、提高人工林生物多样性、建立复杂的人工林群落等措施,以实现桉树人工林土壤养分平衡与生态系统的良性循环。  相似文献

We studied operational landing rehabilitation programs in three forest districts of interior British Columbia (BC). Winged subsoiling and grass/legume seeding, followed by planting of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. Latifolia) generally resulted in successful re-establishment of forest cover on landings. In the Boundary district, fifth year tree heights on landings were not significantly different from those in adjacent plantations, and fifth year growth increments were also similar despite evidence of delayed seedling establishment caused by cattle grazing damage. Trees on landings in the Kalum district were shorter than those in plantations, but fifth year increments were similar. Landings in the Kalum with >20% clay had lower stocking densities, tree heights, and probe depths compared to landings with <20% clay content. In the Kispiox district, average fifth year tree heights and fifth year increments were lower on landings than those on plantations. In the Kispiox district, landings with >20% clay content had shorter trees growing on them when compared to tree heights on landings with <20% clay. Landings in the Kispiox had the least probe depth of the three districts, and the greatest difference in height and increments between landings and plantations, supporting field reports of poor decompaction effectiveness there. In all districts, there was no forest floor present on landings 7 years after subsoiling, and cover of non-coniferous vegetation was lower than for plantations. Higher soil temperatures and lower soil moisture contents were recorded on landings relative to plantations in all districts during the growing season of 1998. Landing soils also had lower total C, N and mineralizable-N (min-N) than plantation soils in the Boundary and Kispiox, but such differences were not statistically significant in the Kalum. Reduced levels of total C, N and min-N on landings did not appear to have affected current foliar nutrient status of trees growing on these sites, as most nutrients appeared in concentrations considered adequate or only slightly deficient, except for foliar S on all sites. Average concentrations of N, P, K and S in foliage were either similar to or significantly higher for trees on landings relative to plantations, but these differences were attributed to dilution in plantation foliage rather than deficiency. Our results support the conclusion that operationally feasible techniques for soil rehabilitation can create conditions suitable for establishment of a new forest on sites that otherwise would be considered non-productive. Stocking levels and tree growth rates observed in our study are consistent with the conclusion that a commercial forest may be produced on some of the rehabilitated areas.  相似文献

Teak is the most important timber species in northern Thailand, and as such, large areas of teak forest have been disturbed or become highly degraded. Teak plantations have been established on this highly degraded land, where the rate of natural recovery is relatively slow. At the study site, five mixed or pure teak plantation types have been established to ameliorate limiting soil properties in order that long-term productivity is maintained. Observations within these plantations in northern Thailand have suggested that native species become established naturally under the shade of a “nurse” plantation, one that shades out early successional species. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the number of species in nurse plantations on the diversity and number of seedlings representative of mature native forests that become established within the plantations. Five types of plantations were investigated: (1) Tectona grandis L.f. (T); (2) T.grandis and Tamarindus indica L. (TT); (3) T.grandis and Gmelina arborea Roxb. (TG); (4) T.grandis, T. indica and G. arborea (TTG); (5) T.grandis, T.indica and Anacardium occidentale L. (TTA). These plantations were established primarily for the production of T.grandis (teak), with the other species introduced as economic trees. The plantations were surrounded by native stands of species representative of late successional and mature teak forests. In each of the plantations studies measurements were made on species density, species diversity, and evenness of plants regenerating in the understorey. Results showed that plantations consisting of several species in the overstorey had a higher diversity of native forest species in the understorey than the single-species plantation. Mixed plantation types were also found to reduce the density of the grass Imperata cylindrica (L.) P. Beauv. Consideration of the establishment of woody species found that TG and TTA had high densities of trees and shrubs. This suggested that if the goal of management was to regenerate forest with a high diversity of tree species similar to that found in native mature forests, multiple-species plantations, especially TG and TTA, would be more effective nurse communities than the single-species plantation in providing an environment into which seeds of native species could disperse and germinate. In addition, several climax species, such as Xylia xylocarpa (Roxb.) Taub. var. kerrii (Craib & Hutch) I.C. Nielsen, Pterocarpus macrocarpus Kurz, Largerstroemia sp., Afzelia xylocarpa (Kurz) Craib, Lannea coromandelica (Houtt) Merr., Spondias pinnata (L.f.) Kurz, Garuya pinnata Roxb., Terminalia mucronata Craib & Hutchison, Diospyoros mollis Griff., Irvingia malayana Oliv. ex Benn., Milletia leucantha Kurz, Dalbergia oliviri Gamble ex Prain, Chukrasia tabularis A. Juss and Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken, were found in the early stages of succession, thus indicating that some may be suitable for planting in future restoration processes in order to accelerate natural succession and provide economic returns to managers.  相似文献

Plantation of open grazing lands with Pinus halepensis are the most widely used practices in afforestation and reforestation in Jordan and other semi-arid areas around the Mediterranean Basin. The effect of aspect North (N), South (S), East (E) and West (W) and slope position (upper, middle, lower and valley bottom) on growth of planted Aleppo pine, nutritional status, plantation on restoring, needle, forest floor, nutrients concentration and soil properties were studied in Jubilee forest in Rakeen area, south of Jordan. Tree height was significantly higher in W than N, S and E aspects which mainly due to better moisture and nutritional conditions. All growth parameters were obtained on valley bottom were significantly higher than all aspect slope position combinations due to accumulation of run off and depositions from upper towards middle, and finally in lower slopes. In general, pH and EC were significantly reduced and soil organic matter was significantly improved by Allepo pine plantations compared to unplanted areas. West and N aspects as well as valley bottoms showed better soil physical and chemical properties.  相似文献

We collected soil samples from two representative sites at Aatmile of Khagarachari hill district in Chittagong Hill Tracts. One of the sites was under shifting cultivation and the other an adjacent 13-year old teak plantation. Both sites were in the same physiographic condition and same aspect with parable soil type, which enabled us to measure the effects of shifting cultivation on soil micro-flora. We studied soil physico-chemical properties and the biochemical and biological properties of soil microbes. Moisture and organic matter content as well as fungi and bacterial populations, both in surface and subsurface soils, were significantly(p ≤0.001) lower in shifting cultivated soils compared to soils not under shifting cultivation, i.e. the teak plantation site. The most abundant bacteria in surface(0-10 cm) and sub-surface(10-20 cm) soils under shifting cultivation were Pseudomonas diminuta and Shigella, respectively, while in corresponding soil layers of teak plantation, predominant microbes were Bacillus firmus(0-10 cm) and Xanthomonas(10-20 cm). The microbial population differences cannot be explained by soil texture differences because of the textural similarity in soils from the two sites but could be related to the significantly lower moisture and organic matter contents in soils under shifting cultivation.  相似文献

Short-rotation forestry with hybrid aspen is a novel silvicultural system in northern Europe on former arable lands. However, knowledge about hybrid aspen growth potential in different soil types and the impact of soil physico-chemical properties on tree productivity in the long term is still scanty. We used repeated monitoring of soil properties and tree growth in young (5-year) and midterm (15-year) hybrid aspen plantations in various soil types (corresponding to four forest site types) to determine the temporal changes in tree growth–soil relationships. Growth of midterm hybrid aspen plantations exceeded same-aged native European aspen stands about two-fold. Growth had improved on Aegopodium, remained moderate on moist Dryopteris and was increasingly suppressed on dry Hepatica soils. The pHKCl, available Ca, content of clay and layer thickness of the soil A-horizon had a significant effect on tree growth in young plantations, but these effects disappeared in the midterm age. The soil water-holding capacity and available P in the A-horizon had a significant growth-controlling effect on tree growth in both ages. We concluded that former arable soils provide a sufficient supply of major nutrients in midterm hybrid aspen plantations whereas minor changes have occurred in growth–soil relationships between young and midterm age.  相似文献

Effects of different forest floor vegetation types in secondary forest and of conversion to plantation on the quality and quantity of ectomycorrhizas are mostly unknown.Betula platyphylla var.japonica seedlings were used for bioassays of ectomycorrhizal fungal inoculum using soils from four 50-year-oldB. platyphylla var.japonica forests that had different types of forest floor vegetation: two with shrub types, one with aSasa type, and one with a grass type. Seedlings were also grown in soil from a nearby monospecific plantation ofChamaecyparis obtusa. Ectomycorrhizas formed 13 to 26% of root length of seedlings grown in soil from the five different sites. The maximum percentage of ectomycorrhizal formation was obtained from the grass-type forest. The dominant type of ectomycorrhiza in the two shrub-type forest soils was the same as that in theSasa-type forest soil. The dominant types of ectomycorrhizas in the grass-type forest soil and in theC. obtusa plantation soil were different from that in the two shrub-type forest soils and in theSasa-type forest soil. The results of this investigation suggest that the type of forest floor vegetation, accompanied with changes in thickness of the A0 horizon, might affect the ectomycorrhizal fungi in the soils ofB. platyphylla var.japonica forests. Establishment of artificial plantations ofC. obtusa might change the ectomycorrhizal fungi that could associate withB. platyphylla var.japonica seedlings in soil.  相似文献

Many teak plantations are established on acidic soils with low nutrient availability. There is also poor documentation of nutrient budgets for teak, therefore, a pot experiment with optimal hybrid regression design (Roquemore R311A) was implemented with calcium, boron and nitrogen treatments with teak seedlings (Tectona grandis L.f.) planted in acidic lateritic red soil substrate. Seedling growth, biomass production and root development, and soil pH, and exchangeable Ca and Al concentration were measured. Plant height, root collar diameter, biomass of leaves, stems and roots, root volume, taproot length, number of lateral roots of teak seedlings were significantly and positively correlated with soil exchangeable Ca, pH and Ca/Al molar ratio, and negatively correlated with exchangeable Al. All growth traits were significantly affected by calcium, nitrogen and their interaction, but B fertilizer and other interactions had insignificant effects. To effectively cultivate teak seedlings in acidic soil substrates, 1.68 g kg−1 quicklime (CaO) and 0.65 g kg−1 urea was suggested to be added to neutralize soil acidity, and enhance soil exchangeable Ca content and Ca/Al molar ratio. Urea should not be added without quicklime.  相似文献

不同造林措施对桉树人工林地土壤养分的影响   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  
针对桉树人工林地力退化问题,通过比较两种造林措施下桉树人工林地土壤肥力特征发现,皆伐和造林时的人为活动对浅土层(0～20 cm)的土壤有松动作用,在一定程度上降低土壤容重,部分提高土壤持水量和孔隙度,但造林后林地土壤物理特性变差,炼山+机械挖桩造林措施对林地土壤物理性质破坏作用要明显高于伐根催腐造林;与皆伐前相比,两种造林措施均导致了林地土壤pH向酸性化方向发展;伐根催腐造林使得林地土壤有机质含量、全N、全K、Ca和Mg含量均较皆伐前大,炼山措施导致大量养分烧失和流失,故其最小;土壤微量元素中除了Cu以炼山造林地最大外,Fe、Mn、Zn、B均以伐根催腐造林地最大。  相似文献

In northeastern India, subtropical forests are over-exploited for timber, fuel wood and common agricultural practice like shifting cultivation, which are responsible for the degradation of natural forest. In degraded areas, large-scale plantations of different species of Quercus have been raised since 1980 for the production of economic Tasar silk. Conversion of natural forest into plantation affects the process of nutrient cycling due to management practices. Thus, it would be of importance to study the litterfall, litter decomposition process and the factors regulating the rate of litter decay in these ecosystems to improve recommendations for their management and conservation. We recorded litterfall by using litter traps and decomposition of leaf litter by nylon net bag technique to understand the amount of organic matter and nutrient return and their release in soils of forest and plantation in Manipur, northeast India. Total litterfall was 419.9 g m−2 year−1 in plantation and 547.7 g m−2 year−1 in forest. Litter decomposition rate was faster at plantation site than the forest in the early stage of litter decomposition whereas the reverse was observed at later stages of decomposition. Stepwise regression analysis showed the significant role of relative humidity and mean temperature on mass loss rates in the forest. Relative humidity, maximum temperature, population of fungi and actinomycetes were the best predictor variables for mass loss rates in plantation. Nutrient retranslocation efficiency and the immobilization of N and P in forest litter were higher than plantation. This suggests that Q. serrata growing in natural ecosystem in oligotrophic condition adapted strong nutrient conservation mechanisms to compete with the other plant species for the meager soil nutrients. The same species in plantation loses these adaptive capabilities because of exogenous supply of nutrients and in the absence of intense competition with other plant species. Thus, the optimization of organic and chemical fertilizer input in plantation is recommended for maintaining the soil fertility level to produce quality leaf for silkworm by conserving essential nutrients in the system.  相似文献

Abstract

The forest floor litter decomposition rate followed in the order: Tectona grandis(teak) > Madhuka indica (mahua) > Butea monosperma (palas). Higher decomposition rates were observed during rainy season and lowest during winter. The decay rate was significantly correlated with rainfall and soil moisture, and with population densities of earthworms. The lumbricid distribution under three plantations of semi-arid and sub-humid regions of central India in relation to several environmental factors including climate, soil moisture and litter quality was studied. Native species of earthworms and their densities were not abundant in this forest due to less moisture content in soil and accidental forest fires. Eight earthworms were identified and three of them were epigeic earthworms, viz., Eisenia fetida (Savigny), Perionyx excavatus (Perrier) and Dichogaster bolaui (Michaelsen), which were predominant throughout the year.  相似文献

In the humid and temperate areas of southern Europe, forest plantations are dominated by fast-growing species (Eucalyptus globulus, Pinus radiata and Pinus pinaster), which are grown on acidic soils with low reserves of available nutrients. In this study the amounts of nutrients exported from the plantations under different regimes and intensities of harvesting were evaluated and, on the basis of the results obtained, silvicultural management methods aimed at improving the nutritional status of the plantations were proposed. We found high ratios between nutrients exported by harvesting and those available in soil stores, indicating limitation for P, Ca and Mg over the long term, which is consistent with frequently found deficiencies of these nutrients. Current harvesting practices (removal of stem wood and bark) result in high rates of export of P, K, Ca and Mg, especially in eucalypt plantations, because of the high productivity and low nutrient efficiency of this species. Comparison of the amounts of nutrients exported by harvesting, with natural inputs (rainfall and weathering) and outputs (stream water), suggests that intensive exploitation of these plantations may result in negative budgets, especially if whole tree harvesting is carried out. The application of fertilizers containing P, Ca and Mg should be encouraged in all cases to favour the return of nutrients, especially where logging residues are extracted. The cost of harvesting in terms of nutrients can also be reduced by careful selection of the tree species planted and of the tree fractions harvested and by reducing the intensity of harvesting.  相似文献
