摘要
季节性雪被可能通过冻结、淋溶以及冻融循环等对高山森林凋落物水溶性和有机溶性组分含量产生影响.本文采用凋落物分解袋法,以川西高山森林典型乔木(四川红杉、岷江冷杉、红桦、方枝柏)和灌木(高山杜鹃、康定柳)凋落物为研究对象,研究了雪被覆盖不同时期(雪被形成期、雪被覆盖期和雪被融化期)和雪被厚度(厚型雪被、中型雪被、薄型雪被和无雪被)下凋落物水溶性和有机溶性组分含量的动态变化特征.结果表明:在一个冬季的分解过程中,6种凋落物水溶性组分含量在雪被形成期和融化期降低而雪被覆盖期增加,但除高山杜鹃凋落物有机溶性组分含量在雪被覆盖期增加外,其他5种凋落物有机溶性组分含量在整个冬季呈降低趋势.相对于凋落物有机溶性组分含量,不同厚度雪被斑块对凋落物水溶性组分含量变化的影响更大,且主要表现在雪被形成期和雪被覆盖期.相对于其他雪被斑块,薄型雪被斑块更加显著地促进了高山柳和高山杜鹃凋落物水溶性组分含量降低,但显著抑制了方枝柏凋落物水溶性组分含量降低,而其他凋落物水溶性组分含量变化在不同斑块间无显著差异.冬季高山森林雪被对凋落物水溶性和有机溶性组分含量的影响主要受控于凋落物质量.
Seasonal snow cover may change the characteristics of freezing, leaching and freeze-thaw cycles in the scenario of climate change, and then play important roles in the dynamics of water soluble and organic solvent soluble components during foliar litter decomposition in the alpine forest. Therefore, a field litterbag experiment was conducted in an alpine forest in western Sichuan, China. The foliar litterbags of typical tree species （ birch, cypress, larch and fir） and shrub species （willow and azalea） were placed on the forest floor under different snow cover thickness （deep snow, medium snow, thin snow and no snow）. The litterbags were sampled at snow formation stage, snow cover stage and snow melting stage in winter. The results showed that the content of water soluble components from six foliar litters decreased at snow formation stage and snow melting stage, but increased at snow cover stage as litter decomposition proceeded in the winter. Besides the content of organic solvent soluble components from azalea foliar litter increased at snow cover stage, the content of organic solvent soluble components from the other five foliar litters kept a continue decreasing tendency in the winter. Compared with the content of organic solvent soluble components, the content of water soluble components was affected more strongly by snow cover thickness, especially at snow formation stage and snow cover stage. Compared with the thicker snow covers, the thin snow cover promoted the decrease of water soluble comDonent contents from willow and azalea foliar litter and restrain the decrease of water soluble component content from cypress foliar litter. Few changes in the content of water soluble components from birch, fir and larch foliar litter were observed under the different thicknesses of snow cover. The results suggested that the effects of snow cover on the contents of water soluble and organic solvent soluble components during litter decomposition would be controlled by litter quality.
