Temporal variability in soil net nitrogen mineralization among forest regeneration patterns in eastern Tibetan Plateau

The dynamic effects of forest regeneration pattern after clear-cutting primary forest on soil N mineralization (Nmin) have not been well investigated and whether the effects vary with season is unclear in eastern Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we compared soil net Nmin, i.e. net ammonification rate...

In this study, we compared soil net Nmin, i.e. net ammonification rate (net Ra) and net nitrification rate (net Rn) among Picea asperata-broadleaf mixed forest (natural regeneration after planting P. asperata, MF), natural secondary forest (natural without assisted regeneration, NF) and P. asperata plantation (reforestation after clear-cutting primary forest, PF) from June to November, and measured soil microbial community and enzyme activities.

NF was likely to have higher net NH4+ consumption in June presumably by the greater microbial utilization (biomass and enzymes) directly drove by the larger initial NH4+ concentration. NF had higher net NH4+ production (0.30 mg kg−1 d-1) in November than MF (0.15 mg kg−1 d-1) and PF (0.03 mg kg−1 d-1).
