Abstract

In order to readjust the structure of pine forest and explore the regularity of litter carbon release in forest gaps of Pinus massoniana plantation, a field litterbag experiment was set up in thinning Pinus massoniana plantation with seven different sizes of forest gaps (G1: 100 m², G2: 225 m², G3: 400 m², G4: 625 m², G5: 900 m², G6: 1 225 m², G7: 1 600 m²). The effect of the sized of forest gap on carbon release rate of Toona ciliata leaf litter was studied. The results indicated that: 1) Compared with the small size (100-200 m²) and the large size (1 225-1 600 m²) of forest gaps, the medium sized (400-625 m²) forest gaps promoted the carbon release. 2) The carbon release rate in early period of the first 30 days is higher than in the following periods. The carbon release rate shows that after a decomposition of 90 days, there is a phenomenon of carbon concentration enrichment. 3) The carbon release is affected by the gap size, within-gap location, and decomposition time as well. Decomposition time has extremely significant effect on carbon release (P < 0.01), and gap size also has significant effect on carbon release (P < 0.05). However, there is no significant effect of within-gap location on carbon release. 4) The temperature and moisture have extremely significant positive correlation (P < 0.01) with carbon release rate and mass loss rate.
