In Central Himalaya, anthropogenic activities have led to the widespread replacement of Banj oak (Quercus leucotrichophora) forest by Chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) for decades. This study was conducted to determine how natural Banj oak, Chir pine, and mixed oak-pine forest would differ in soil microbial biomass and soil nutrients. Soil microbial biomass nitrogen (SMBN) and phosphorus (SMBP), soil organic carbon (SOC) total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) in the 0 to 15 cm soil layer were investigated in the Central Himalayan region in the stands of Banj oak, mixed oak-pine, and Chir pine forest. The SMBN and SMBP were significantly higher in Banj oak and mixed oak-pine forest as compared to Chir pine forest. The ratios of SMBN to TN (SMBN/TN) and SMBP to TP (SMBP/TP) were significantly higher in the Chir pine forest, indicating that in this forest, the proportion of microbial biomass N and P to total soil N and P was higher as compared to Banj oak forest. A similar pattern of variation was found in relation to season across the forests, all with an apparent peak in the rainy season. These results indicate that low microbial biomass N and P may be one of the reasons to create a nutrient poor site in Chir pine forest. The collection of pine litter by local people also impairs the return of nutrients to the soil and makes it difficult for Banj oak to re-invade areas occupied by Chir pine. This calls for cautions in large-scale conversions of the Banj oak forests to coniferous plantations as a forest management practice on concerns of sustaining soil productivity.

印度喜马拉雅山中部的班尔栎林被红松替代后的土壤生化特性变化

在喜马拉雅中部,人为活动导致数十年来橡树松(Pinus roxburghii)取代了班吉橡树(Quercus leucotrichophora)森林。进行这项研究的目的是确定天然的班吉栎,Chi松和栎松混交林在土壤微生物量和土壤养分上的差异。在喜马拉雅中部林分中,调查了0〜15 cm土层土壤微生物量氮(SMBN)和磷(SMBP),土壤有机碳(SOC)总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)。班吉(Banj)橡木,混合橡树-松树和r松林。与Chir松林相比,Banj栎木和混合橡松林中的SMBN和SMBP显着更高。在Chir松林中,SMBN与TN的比率(SMBN / TN)和SMBP与TP的比率(SMBP / TP)明显更高,表明该森林中微生物生物量氮和磷在土壤总氮和磷中所占的比例高于班吉橡树林。在整个森林中,也发现了与季节相关的类似变化模式,所有变化在雨季都有明显的高峰。这些结果表明,低微生物生物量氮和磷可能是在Chir松林中造成营养不良的原因之一。当地人收集的松树凋落物还损害了养分向土壤的返回,并使Banj橡树很难再次入侵Chir松树所占据的地区。出于对保持土壤生产力的关注,作为森林管理实践,这要求在班吉橡树林大规模转变为针叶人工林方面要谨慎行事。与班吉栎林相比,微生物生物量氮和磷在土壤总氮和磷中的比例更高。在整个森林中,也发现了与季节相关的类似变化模式,所有变化在雨季都有明显的高峰。这些结果表明,低微生物生物量氮和磷可能是在Chir松林中造成营养不良的原因之一。当地人收集的松树凋落物还损害了养分向土壤的返回,并使Banj橡木难以再次入侵Chir松树所占据的地区。出于对保持土壤生产力的关注,作为森林管理实践,这要求在班吉橡树林大规模转变为针叶人工林方面要谨慎行事。与班吉栎林相比,微生物生物量氮和磷在土壤总氮和磷中的比例更高。在整个森林中,也发现了与季节相关的类似变化模式,所有变化在雨季都有明显的高峰。这些结果表明,低微生物生物量氮和磷可能是在Chir松林中造成营养不良的原因之一。当地人收集的松树凋落物还损害了养分向土壤的返回,并使班吉橡树难以再次入侵Chi松所占领的地区。出于对保持土壤生产力的关注,作为森林管理实践,这要求在班吉栎林向针叶林的大规模转换中要谨慎行事。在雨季,所有这些都有明显的高峰。这些结果表明,低微生物生物量氮和磷可能是在Chir松林中造成营养不良的原因之一。当地人收集的松树凋落物还损害了养分向土壤的返回,并使Banj橡树很难再次入侵Chir松树所占据的地区。出于对保持土壤生产力的关注,作为森林管理实践,这要求在班吉栎林向针叶林的大规模转换中要谨慎行事。在雨季,所有这些都有明显的高峰。这些结果表明,低微生物生物量氮和磷可能是在Chir松林中造成营养不良的原因之一。当地人收集的松树凋落物还损害了养分向土壤的返回,并使班吉橡树难以再次入侵Chi松所占领的地区。出于对保持土壤生产力的关注,作为森林管理实践,这要求在班吉栎林向针叶林的大规模转换中要谨慎行事。
