Abstract

【Objective】Broad-leaved Pinus koraiensis forest forms zonal forests in the mountainous areas of the eastern part of Northeast China. Forest gaps are special micro-structures widely existing in natural P. koraiensis forest. This study explored the effects of gap size, litter decomposition duration and litter species on vanillic acid content in the forest soil to provide a theoretical basis for gap regeneration of broad-leaved P. koraiensis mixed forest and sustainable management of P. koraiensis plantations.【Method】Large, medium and small forest gaps formed by uprooted trees were selected in Tilia amurensis-P. koraiensis forest in Liangshui National Natural Reserve. Closed stands were set up as controls. Decomposition bags containing litter from three different tree species (T. amurensis, P. koraiensis and Betula costata) were embedded in the soil at the center of the gaps and in the controls. Samples of the soil below the decomposition bags were collected to a depth of 10 cm at five time intervals (61, 123, 147, 458 and 519 d from the day the bags were embedded). Soil impurities were removed and the samples were sieved for laboratory analysis. The soil vanillic acid content was determined by high performance liquid chromatography using the following analytical conditions: 25 ℃ column temperature, 0.1 mL/min flow rate, 10 mL automatic injection volume, and 280 nm detection wavelength. Mobile phases A and B were pure methanol and 1% phosphoric acid solution, respectively. The gradient elution method was: 0 min, VA:VB=30:70; 15 min, VA:VB=50:50; 20 min, VA:VB=55:45; and 30 min, VA:VB=60:40. The effects of gap size, litter decomposition duration and litter species on soil vanillic acid content were analyzed by using ANOVA. 【Result】Gap size, litter decomposition duration and litter species all had significant effects on the vanillic acid content of the soil. There was an interaction between gap size and litter species as follows: in small and medium gaps, vanillic acid content was generally higher than that in large gaps after decomposition of T. amurensis litter. In small gaps, it was generally higher than that in medium and large gaps after decomposition of P. koraiensis litter, and in medium gaps, it was higher than that in large and small gaps after decomposition of B. costata litter. Multivariate analysis of variance showed that the effects of gap size, litter decomposition duration and litter species had significant effects on vanillic acid content in the soil. A Post Hoc test indicated that in the small gaps of T. amurensis-P. koraiensis forest, after litter decomposition for 519 d, the effect of litter species on the soil vanillic acid content was not significant. In the large closed stand of T. amurensis-P. koraiensis forest, after litter decomposition for 123 d, the effect of litter species on the soil vanillic acid content was weaker than that of the other horizontal interactions.【Conclusion】In order to better analyze the regeneration of T. amurensis-P. koraiensis forest, the effect of gap size, litter decomposition duration and litter species on the content of vanillic acid in the soil should be comprehensively investigated. The effect of litter species on soil vanillic acid content was not significant for certain decomposition durations and gap sizes. Therefore, when analyzing the change in soil vanillic acid content, it is necessary to consider the interactions of various factors and levels.

Abstract
应用分解网袋法研究了花椒凋落物分解过程中(0、10、30 d和60 d)酚酸的释放动态及凋落物浸提液对花椒林地土壤化学性质的影响。结果表明:花椒凋落物在分解过程中呈现出明显的毒性动态。凋落物分解的60 d中,凋落物残留量在前30 d内变化最大,30 d后无显著变化;凋落物中酚酸含量随分解时间的延长,呈显著降低的趋势,且在分解10 d时,酚酸释放量最大。4个分解动态的凋落物浸提液显著地改变了土壤好气性自生固氮菌、氨化细菌、好气性纤维素分解菌的数量和土壤pH值、酚酸含量、铵态氮、有效磷等化学性质。不同分解时间的凋落物浸提液均造成了土壤pH值的显著升高;分解10 d的凋落物浸提液对土壤铵态氮的含量具有显著的降低作用,对土壤好气性自生固氮菌和氨化细菌的生长均具有显著的促进作用,而对好气性纤维素分解菌的生长具有抑制作用;分解60 d的凋落物浸提液显著地降低了土壤酚酸含量,对土壤有效磷含量具有显著的升高作用,对好气性自生固氮菌的生长具有抑制作用,而对好气性纤维素分解菌的生长具有促进作用。

The relative importance of allelopathy and resource competition in plant-plant interactions has been vigorously debated but seldom tested. We used activated carbon to manipulate the effects of root exudates of Centaurea maculosa, a noxious weed in much of western North America, on root elongation rates and growth of the native bunchgrass Festuca idahoensis in order to investigate the relative importance of allelopathy in the total interference of Centaurea. In root observation chambers, Festuca root elongation rates decreased to approximately 50% of the control, beginning 4 days before contacting Centaurea roots in silica sand. However, when activated carbon, which has a high affinity for adsorbing to organic compounds, was added to the sand the effects of Centaurea roots on Festuca root elongation were reduced. In other experiments, Festuca plants were 50% smaller when grown with Centaurea than with conspecifics in pure silica sand. However, Festuca grown with Centaurea in mixtures of sand and activated carbon were 85% larger than Festuca grown with Centaurea in silica sand without carbon. These results suggest that allelopathy accounts for a substantial proportion of the total interference of Centaurea on Festuca, shifting the balance of competition in favor of Centaurea. However, Centaurea outperformed Festuca even in the presence of activated carbon, demonstrating the importance of the combined roles of resource competition and allelopathy.

The behavior and dynamics of 20 identified allelochemicals in Vulpia residues were collectively and individually monitored, and their kinetic phytotoxicity was assessed. The total content of the identified allelochemicals in decaying Vulpia residues increased from 0.31 mg/g to 1.24 mg/g dry residue over a 21–day decomposition period, while the total phenolic content increased from 1.86 mg/g to 2.16 mg/g dry residue. This corresponded to a phytotoxicity increase from 42% to 82% of radical inhibition. Allelochemicals changed in composition and quantity over the duration of the residue decomposition. Addition of soil to the residues reduced the total allelochemical contents extracted and altered the dynamic pattern. In the same period, the total content of allelochemicals declined from 0.061 mg/g to 0.046 mg/g residue + soil, with the total phenolics dropped from 0.20 mg/g to 0.11 mg/g residue + soil, corresponding to a radical length increase from 53% to 109% of control. Only 14 of the identified allelochemicals were detected in the mix of soil and residues, in contrast to 20 present in the residues alone. The implications of these findings are discussed.
