Abstract:

Base cations are the key to mitigating soil acidification and regulating soil fertility,whose amounts in forest soils were usually affected by tree species.Effects of five common subtropical tree species (including Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.,Pinus massoniana Lamb.,Schima superba Gardn.et Champ.,Michelia macclurei Dandy,Castanopsis carlesii) in a common garden on soil base cation concentration were investigated in this study.We found tree species had no effects on soil Na+ concentration but significant effects on soil K+,Ca2+,Mg2+ concentration,with a lower soil K+,Ca2+,Mg2+ concentration in Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.plantation and a higher value in Michelia macclurei Dandy and Pinus massoniana Lamb.plantation.The soil Ca2+,Na+,Mg2+ concentration increased significantly with soil pH.Our study suggested that Michelia macclurei Dandy and Pinus massoniana Lamb.should be highly recommended to be planted in acid and nutrient-poor soil in subtropical China.
