中文摘要：

以落叶松（Larix gmelinii）和水曲柳（Fraxinus mandshurica）人工林为研究对象,采用动态气室法（LI-6400-09叶室连接到LI-6400便携式CO2/H2O分析系统）对两种林分的土壤呼吸速率进行了观测,探讨了细根生物量、根中氮含量与土壤呼吸速率的关系,以及施肥对细根生物量、根中氮含量和土壤呼吸速率的影响.结果表明：1）施肥导致落叶松和水曲柳林分的活细根生物量降低18.4%和27.4%,死细根生物量分别降低了34.8%和127.4%;2）施肥使落叶松和水曲柳林地土壤呼吸速率与对照相比分别减少了34.9%和25.8%;3）施肥对根中氮含量没有显著影响;4）落叶松和水曲柳林地的土壤呼吸与土壤温度表现出相同的季节变化,两种林分的土壤呼吸速率与地下5和10 cm处的温度表现出明显的指数关系,其相关性R^2=0.93～0.98.土壤呼吸温度系数Q10的范围在2.45～3.29.施肥处理对Q10没有产生影响,施肥处理导致细根生物量减少可能是引起林地土壤呼吸速率下降的主要原因.

英文摘要：

Aims Soil respiration is important in carbon flux and changes in carbon cycling in forest soil. Understanding belowground response to fertilization is critical in assessing soil carbon dynamics and atmospheric nitrogen deposition. The objectives of this study were to： 1） compare soil respiration rates between Larix gmelinii and Fraxinus mandshurica plantations in the same field site, 2） examine the effects of nitrogen fertilization on soil respiration rate in both plantations, and 3） analyze the relationships between soil respiration rate and soil temperature, fine root biomass and nitrogen contents. Methods In May 2002, we established six plots in each plantation type at the Maoershan Forest Research Station, and from 2003 to 2005 we fertilized three plots and left three unfertilized as the control. We placed ten soil chambers randomly in each plot in July 2004 and measured soil respiration rates using a soil chamber system from August 2004 to October 2005. At the same time, we estimated fine root standing biomass in each plot by sampling eight soil cores monthly, calculated dry mass and analyzed nitrogen content for each fine root sample. Important findings Fine root standing biomass of F. mandshurica （229 g·m^-2） was greater than that of L. gmelinii （158 g·m^-2）, and the average difference in soil respiration rates during the growing season was 19.8%. Nitrogen fertilization significantly decreased fine root standing biomass 27.4% in F. mandshurica and 18.4% in L. gmelinii; soil respiration rate was decreased 25.8 % and 34.9 % respectively. However, nitrogen fertilization did not change fine root nitrogen contents. In both plantation types, soil respiration rate exhibited significant exponential relationships with soil temperature （R^2 = 0.93 -0.98）. The range of Q10 values was 2.45 - 2.62 for F. mandshurica and 3.02 - 3.29 for L. gmelinii. Nonetheless, nitrogen fertilization did not impact Q10 values in either plantation type; the difference of Q10 between fertilized and unfertilized
