Soil C/N influences the carbon flux and partitioning in control and fertilized mini-plots of Pinus radiata in New Zealand

Patterns of carbon flux and partitioning were examined in highly stocked (40,000 stems ha-1) control and fertilized mini-plots of Pinus radiata D. Don at five sites, which covered a wide climatic and edaphic gradient on the South Island of New Zealand. The gross-primary productivity (GPP) and the pa...

The TBCF:GPP ratio significantly increased with the soil C:N ratio (r² = 0.93, P &#8804; 0.01), with a concomitant decrease in the APR:GPP ratio (r² = -0.88, P < 0.001) without a significant effect on the ANPP:GPP ratio (P &gt; 0.32).

Soil C/N influences the carbon flux and partitioning in control and fertilized mini-plots of Pinus radiata in New Zealand
description Patterns of carbon flux and partitioning were examined in highly stocked (40,000 stems ha-1) control and fertilized mini-plots of Pinus radiata D. Don at five sites, which covered a wide climatic and edaphic gradient on the South Island of New Zealand. The gross-primary productivity (GPP) and the partitioning of the GPP to the above- and below-ground productivity and respiration were determined using a carbon budget approach. All of the components of the GPP, the above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP [r² = 0.67, P &#8804; 0.01]), above-ground plant respiration (APR [r² = 0.66, P &#8804; 0.01]), and total below-ground carbon flux (TBCF [r² = 0.41, P &#8804; 0.01]) significantly increased with the GPP, but the ANPP:GPP, APR:GPP and TBCF:GPP ratios were not significantly correlated to the GPP (P &gt; 0.41). The TBCF:GPP ratio significantly increased with the soil C:N ratio (r² = 0.93, P &#8804; 0.01), with a concomitant decrease in the APR:GPP ratio (r² = -0.88, P < 0.001) without a significant effect on the ANPP:GPP ratio (P &gt; 0.32).
