  •   Objective  The objective is to study the distribution characteristics of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its active components in Pinus massoniana forest affected by pine wilt disease, so as to reveal the influence mechanism of natural vegetation restoration after logging on soil carbon sink in P. massoniana secondary forest and provide scientific support for organic carbon pool management.  Method  From March to June 2023, in Yuhang District and Lin’an District of Hangzhou City, the undamaged P. massoniana forest was used as the control (ck), four vegetation restoration types were set up by using the space substitution time survey method: moderate logging restoration for 5 a (ML5), moderate logging restoration for 15 a (ML15), heavy logging restoration for 5 a (HL5) and heavy logging restoration for 15 a (HL15) to compare the variation characteristics of SOC, readily oxidizable carbon (ROC), particulate organic carbon (POC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) in different soil layers ( 0−10, 10−20, 20−40 cm ) of P. massoniana secondary forest under natural recovery after different logging intensities, and their relationship with soil physicochemical properties was analyzed to explore their mechanisms.   Result  (1) The content of SOC and its active components in each soil layer ranking from high to low were SOC, ROC, POC, MBC and WSOC, and the content decreased accordingly with the deepening of soil layer. The highest SOC content was 33.53 g·kg−1 in 0−10 cm soil layer of ML15, and the lowest WSOC content was 136.55 mg·kg−1 in 20−40 cm soil layer of ck. (2) Under the same logging intensity, the content of active organic carbon in soil of P. massoniana secondary forest increased with the increase of natural recovery years, among which the content of POC in each soil layer changed the most, and the content of POC in each soil layer of 15 a was over 2.6 times higher than that in each soil layer of 5 a. (3) The content of active organic carbon component in 0−10 cm soil layer of ML15 was the highest, and was significantly higher than that in ck (P＜0.05 ). (4) The results of correlation analysis showed that there were significant positive correlations among active organic carbon components in soil and between active organic carbon components and ${\mathrm{NO}}_3^- $-N and NH4 + -N ( P＜0.05 ).  Conclusion  Moderate logging has a significant promoting effect on SOC and its active components in P. massoniana secondary forest. The longer the natural recovery time of vegetation, the more favorable it is to increase the content of soil active organic carbon components. Moderate logging of P. massoniana pure forests and their natural recovery can promote soil carbon pool accumulation. [Ch, 3 fig. 3 tab. 46 ref.]

  • 森林是陆地生态系统的重要组分部分，土壤有机碳(SOC)储量远高于植被和大气总碳，是全球生态系统碳循环中的活跃碳库，对维持全球碳平衡发挥着不可忽视的作用[1]。全球森林土壤有机碳的微小变化亦会对大气二氧化碳(CO2)变化产生实质影响[2]。根据有机碳的稳定性和分解速率差异可将土壤有机碳分为惰性有机碳、缓效性有机碳和活性有机碳[3]。土壤活性有机碳如易氧化碳(ROC)、颗粒有机碳(POC)等，具有活跃性较高、易被微生物氧化和分解、移动快等特点[4]，能显著影响土壤中化学物质的溶解、吸附、吸收、解吸、迁移等，对植物养分供应有最直接的作用[5]。活性有机碳库中，微生物生物量碳(MBC)等对土壤管理、森林经营措施的响应更敏感，是土壤质量的重要指示指标[6]。森林生态系统复杂性高，不同森林类型及同一类型中的不同树种组成、不同演替阶段的土壤有机碳及其活性组分特征亦有明显差异，同时也存在同一林分土壤有机碳随土层深度增加有效性降低的规律[7]。值得注意的是土壤有机碳各组分间能够相互转化，不同组分间又共同调控土壤碳库平衡、碳循环过程，影响和指示森林土壤质量[8]。因此，厘清同一优势树种下不同演替阶段林分或管理措施对森林土壤有机碳活性组分分布积累的影响及其内在机制，对于准确评估土壤质量及碳库动态变化具有重要意义。

    松材线虫Bursaphelenchus xylophilus病是一种主要危害马尾松Pinus massoniana林分的毁灭性森林病害。中国感染该病的松林面积已超过180万hm2[9]。马尾松林为南方低山丘陵区群落演替的主要先锋林分，浙江省的松林面积约占全省森林总面积的54.87%。2023年浙江省秋季普查发现：已遭受松材线虫病危害的松林面积约28.72万hm2，病死木达153.2万株[10−11]。当前松材线虫病病害林分的主要清理方式为卫生伐疫木，采伐后出现的林窗空地则让其自然恢复形成马尾松次生林[12]。由于对不同病害程度马尾松林分采伐强度不一致，所以不同采伐强度下自然恢复后的植被类型、组成及林分格局会有很大差异[13]。究其原因为不同采伐强度会导致不同大小的林木生长空间，缓解被伐疫木周围活立木对光照和养分的竞争[14]，且自然恢复还使林分中的物种组成发生变化，改善了土壤的理化性质和林分微环境[15]。MA等[16]和DON等[17]研究表明：森林土壤中的碳循环对林业经营管理措施极为敏感，植被恢复能有效提高退化生态系统的土壤有机碳质量分数。然而，由于不同植被恢复措施下的林分物种种类、地上地下生物量、凋落物量均差异显著，因此其对土壤有机碳库的影响亦显著不同[18]，且适度采伐可提升森林的土壤有机碳质量分数[16]。因此，系统研究马尾松松材线虫病林分土壤活性有机碳对采伐强度、植被自然恢复的响应规律，有利于深入了解采伐及植被自然修复对土壤活性有机碳的影响以及与林分间的互作机制。

    土壤活性有机碳主要由林分中鲜有机质与腐殖质间的过渡性物质分解而成，林分结构、土壤理化性质以及微环境的变化均会对土壤有机碳的空间变异产生影响，增加它的不稳定性，从而快速表征土壤的碳库变化。王晓荣等[19]发现：抚育间伐1 a后，马尾松林土壤活性有机碳空间异质性增加，总有机碳与微生物生物量碳显著降低。翟凯燕等[20]则发现：中度间伐9 a后的马尾松林土壤总有机碳、颗粒有机碳、易氧化有机碳质量分数提升，而重度间伐林分表现为下降。另有学者研究发现：不同植被恢复措施作用后土壤活性有机碳库出现以下3种情况：显著增加[21]、无显著变化[22]、有所减少[23]。可见，采伐调节林分密度对土壤有机碳的影响以及与林分间的互作机制[24]，以及植被恢复后不同演替阶段的森林土壤有机碳变化规律须进一步探索[25]。本研究以中度采伐、重度采伐等2种强度采伐后自然恢复5、15 a的马尾松松材线虫病次生林为研究对象，探讨其土壤有机碳及其活性组分的累积变化特征，旨在深入理解森林经营管理对马尾松次生林土壤有机碳及其活性组分的变异特性，探明采伐后自然恢复对土壤活性有机碳的长期效应，准确评估和调控松材线虫病危害后的马尾松次生林土壤碳库情况，为遭受松材线虫病危害的马尾松林经营管理提供科学依据。

      3.1.   不同强度采伐对林分土壤有机碳及其活性组分的影响

    • 间伐等森林采伐管理措施对固存土壤有机碳影响较大[16]。本研究发现：适度采伐提高了土壤有机碳及其活性组分质量分数，这一结果与之前的研究结果类似。王昌亮等[34]研究表明：40%采伐强度的落叶松Larix gmelinii人工林0~60 cm土层中的土壤有机碳、土壤易氧化有机碳显著高于对照；MA等[16]研究表明：适度采伐(30%采伐强度)的华北落叶松Larix principis-rupprechtii林土壤有机碳和土壤易氧化有机碳明显高于重度采伐及低强度采伐林分。究其原因为中度采伐提高了林分的地上凋落物和地下植物细根量，而重度采伐下的林分一段时间内碳源不足，林分微环境的碳循环能力减弱，致使其土壤中的有机碳质量分数降低。同时，土壤易氧化有机碳、土壤颗粒有机碳、土壤微生物生物量碳、土壤水溶性有机碳质量分数从高到低均表现为中度采伐、重度采伐、ck，其原因可能在于中度采伐的林分植被覆盖更为完整，所提供的有机物质如凋落物等在土壤中分解后形成易氧化碳、颗粒有机碳等[19]，植被还可以通过根系分泌物和凋落物的形式向土壤中输入水溶性有机碳。从土壤微生物活性来说，中度采伐对于土壤扰动小于重度采伐，同时增加林地光照，改善通气状况，有利于植物细根的生长并促进土壤微生物的活动，加速地上与地下凋落物的分解，增加微生物生物量碳及颗粒有机碳来源[20]；中度采伐对林分的人为干扰小于重度采伐，对森林结构的完整性破坏较小，有利于土壤生态系统恢复和有机物质的积累，从而提高土壤碳的质量分数[34]。当表层土壤有机碳的黏结点达到饱和时，易氧化碳将其解析并以水溶性有机碳的形式向土壤深层移动。水溶性有机碳可以提高土壤中稳定性有机碳的分解，土壤活性有机碳质量分数随之升高[35]。

      • 3.2.   不同自然恢复年限下的土壤有机碳及其活性组分的变化规律

    • 自然恢复年限对土壤有机碳及其活性组分变化产生显著影响，它们的质量分数均随恢复年限增长而增加。相同采伐强度下的马尾松次生林土壤有机碳、土壤易氧化碳、土壤微生物生物量碳、土壤颗粒有机碳、土壤水溶性有机碳质量分数均与其植被自然恢复年限成正比。活性有机碳组分是土壤中植物和微生物具有较高可利用性的化学活性组分，可作为土壤碳库稳定的指示因子，表征土壤碳库稳定性[35]，如混交林土壤活性有机碳与土壤有机碳的占比低于纯林，土壤碳库稳定性更强[36]，这与本研究结果一致。土壤颗粒有机碳主要是与砂砾结合的动植物半残体分解物组成，是有机碳中的非保护性部分[37]。本研究中土壤颗粒有机碳质量分数表现为0~10 cm土层大于10~40 cm，与尚瑶等[38]的研究结果相符。其原因可能是自然恢复过程中会增加动植物残体、凋落物等，这些物质的增加会促使易氧化碳和颗粒有机碳的形成[27]，从而提高其质量分数。而土壤水溶性有机碳随恢复年限增加呈显著增加的原因在于土壤水溶性有机碳主要来源于凋落物、植物残体腐殖质等，恢复年限越长的林分中有机质越高[39]。植被的改善有利于土壤吸收更多的根系分泌物和凋落物[21]，促进微生物的发展和生长，提高微生物生物量碳的质量分数。同时，微生物的活动也有助于土壤有机质的分解和转化[23]，影响其他有机碳组分的质量分数。随着有机质的积累和微生物的作用，土壤结构得到改善，土壤中养分的有效循环提高植物生产力，增加土壤有机碳的输入，有利于土壤有机碳的累积。

      • 3.3.   土壤有机碳及其活性组分对采伐后植被自然恢复的响应机制

    • 马尾松次生林经适度采伐后，出现大量林窗，增加了灌草生长空间，凋落物、细根生物量随之增加，土壤有机碳碳源得到补充；随着植被恢复，植物种类增加，群落组成结构趋于复杂，提高了土壤微生物底物的可利用性，促进土壤微生物生长和活性，有利于土壤碳的累积。马尾松次生林土壤有机碳质量分数随土层加深而降低，符合凋落物、根系等碳源集中在表层土的特征[39]。土壤颗粒有机碳、土壤微生物生物量碳等是土壤活性有机碳的重要组分[40]，因而各活性组分亦表现为随土层深度增加其有效性降低的规律[9,41]。本研究中土壤颗粒有机碳、土壤水溶性有机碳、土壤易氧化碳、土壤微生物生物量碳均与土壤有机碳存在极显著的正相关关系。这与王斐等[42]、朱浩宇等[43]的研究结果相符合，显示土壤有机碳是影响活性有机碳主要的决定性因素。活性有机碳组分之间也呈现极显著正相关关系，表明其关系密切，作为活性碳库的成分，共同影响土壤有机碳周转。土壤硝态氮、土壤铵态氮与有机碳及其组分均存在极显著正相关关系，表明氮素有效性也是影响有机碳及其组分的关键。本研究中，采伐后林分土壤硝态氮、铵态氮质量分数均高于未采伐林分，并随着恢复时限的增长而增加。氮素的增加会刺激植物生长，从而增加根系分泌物和凋落物的产生[3]，同时可能会促进微生物的生长和活性，加速其对有机质的分解，影响有机碳的稳定性和质量分数。本研究中，采伐后的马尾松次生林土壤含水率高于未采伐林分。土壤含水率的提高通常有利于土壤中有机物质的保持，减少矿化，这促使土壤有机碳和易氧化碳的积累[44]。良好的水分条件亦有益于微生物活动环境，促进微生物生物量碳的增加[45]。土壤容重的大小反映土壤结构、质地和腐殖质等的变化，从而影响有机碳的变化。本研究发现：土壤容重与土壤有机碳呈现显著负相关关系。这与袁星明[46]的研究结果相符合。相比ck，马尾松次生林采伐后的土壤容重有所降低，意味着土壤质地变得更加疏松，有助于提高土壤的通气性和水分保持能力，为微生物活动提供更好的环境，促使其更有效地分解有机质，从而增加土壤有机碳、土壤易氧化碳、土壤颗粒有机碳质量分数[9]。采伐后的林分土壤孔隙度高于ck，有利于改善土壤结构，增加空气和水的渗透性，为植物根系生长和微生物活动提供良好的环境，减少有机物质的干燥和氧化，有助于维护有土壤有机碳的稳定性，增加土壤有机碳及其活性组分的质量分数[9]。

    4.   结论

    • 采伐对马尾松林分土壤有机碳及其活性组分质量分数具有显著的促进作用，形成的马尾松次生林微环境，加快了土壤活性有机碳组分的转化，尤其是0~10 cm土层的有机碳及其活性组分质量分数对采伐的响应更为敏感。30%~40%中度采伐的改善作用强于60%~80%的重度采伐。

      采伐后马尾松次生林土壤有机碳及其活性组分质量分数与植被自然恢复年限呈显著正相关。15 a自然恢复年限的土壤有机碳库显著高于5 a的自然恢复年限及未采伐的马尾松林分，且各活性有机碳组分对自然恢复年限的响应趋势相同。

      土壤中的有机碳及其活性组分间具有协同提升的作用。土壤不同活性有机碳组分对马尾松次生林采伐强度与自然恢复年限的响应是通过改变林下植物种类、改善林木生长空间和光温水热等复杂的生物与非生物因素驱动的。因此，在森林经营条件许可的情况下，可以针对马尾松纯林进行适当强度的采伐，选择适地树种人工促进更新，加快针叶纯林演替成混交林，促进森林土壤碳循环，增加土壤有机碳库。
