Abstract | 【Objective】On the occasion of the implementation of the policy of returning farmland to forest for 20 years, the dynamic changes of soil aggregates and soil organic carbon (SOC) after returning farmland to forest in upper reaches of the Minjiang River were quantitatively studied, which provided scientific data support for ecological governance and ecological agriculture development in arid valleys.【Method】Taking the native forest as the control and the ecological forests (eco-forests) and orchards (cherry, crisp plum, apple) as research objects, the particle size composition, stability and SOC distribution of soil water-stable aggregates of various land types were analyzed, and the mixed effect was applied to determine the contribution of forest land type, soil depth, altitude gradient, gravel content (GC) and other factors to soil aggregate stability and organic carbon dynamics.【Result】The content of macro-aggregates (> 0.25 mm) in orchards was significantly lower than that in eco-forests, and that in both was significantly lower than that in native forests. The contents of soil agglomerates of various sizes in the native and eco-forests showed as: 5-10 mm > 2-5 mm > 0.25-2 mm > 0.053-0.25 mm > 0-0.053 mm, those in the orchards ranked as: 0.25-2 mm > 2-5 mm > 5-10 mm > 0.053-0.25 mm > 0-0.053 mm. In the 5-15 cm soil layer, the contents of 5-10 mm and 2-5 mm agglomerates in cherry orchards were significantly greater than those in crisp plum orchards and apple orchards. Soil aggregate stability indexes(MWD and GMD) showed as: native forests > eco-forests > cherry orchards > crisp plum orchards and apple orchards, and there were no significant differences between crisp plum orchards and apple orchards. The SOC content(SOCC) in the 0-5 cm soil layer showed as native forests > eco-forests > cherry orchards > crisp plum orchards and apple orchards, and the difference showed a decreasing trend with the increase of soil depth. SOC(SOCS) stocks at a depth of 0-30 cm were ... |
