Abstract:

To study soil microbial biomass in Larch-Betula platylla mixed forests of different ages,this paper analyzed the content and correlation of soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen,soil physicochemical properties and the ratio of soil microbial carbon and nitrogen,aiming to explore the characteristics of soil and soil microorganisms.The results showed that soil organic carbon,total nitrogen,soil microbial biomass and soil microbial entropy gradually decreased with soil depth.All of them represented a trend of decreasing firstly and then increasing as forest ages increased,and soil turned from “fungal type” to “bacteria type”.The ratio of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen in the age of 25 was extremely lower than both of other two ages.In forest floor,soil microbial entropy was greater with the forest age increase,with the higher activities of soil organic carbon,and the instability of soil carbon pool.The correlation analysis showed that there was a significant relationship among soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen and soil organic carbon,total nitrogen,the value of pH,microbial entropy.Thus,soil microorganism presented the variation of the soil fertility as a sensitive indicator.

Key words: soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen, forest ages, mixed forests, the ratio of microbial carbon and nitrogen, otal nitrogen
