Abstract
This investigation compares present C stores, fluxes and historic tree C sequestration in an uneven-aged and an even-aged Norway spruce stand under similar high productive soil conditions in south-eastern Norway. A selection cutting system has been performed in the uneven-aged forest stand for 81 years and the even-aged stand was established after clear-cutting 81 years ago. Timber productivity has been measured in the uneven stand for 81 years and in the even-aged stand for 52 years. C storage was determined based on tree measurements, tree biomass functions, soil samples and C analyses from trees and soil. Litter fall was sampled during one year and CO2 efflux from the soil was measured during one growing season. The present tree C storage (including roots) was 210 Mg C ha–1 in the even-aged stand and 76 Mg C ha–1 in the uneven-aged stand, while the corresponding figures for C in the soil was 178 and 199 Mg C ha–1. The long term timber production in the uneven-aged stand was measured to be 95% of the even-aged stand and the difference in net C sequestration was 37 Mg ha–1 in an 81 year period in favour the even-aged stand. The highest present CO2 efflux from soil was measured in the even-aged stand. The total net C sequestered in trees during 81 years minus the present soil C-stock accounts to 16 Mg ha-1 in favour the even-aged system.
本研究比较了在挪威东南部类似高产土壤条件下,一个不均匀树龄和一个均匀树龄的挪威云杉林分目前的碳储量、通量和历史上的树碳封存。在81年的不均匀林分上实行了选择性采伐制度,81年前的完全采伐建立了均匀林分。对不均匀林分和均匀林分的木材生产力进行了81年和52年的测定。碳储量是根据树木测量、树木生物量功能、土壤样品和树木和土壤的碳分析来确定的。在一年的时间里对凋落物进行采样,并在一个生长季节测量土壤的CO2外排。平均林龄和不均匀林龄分别为210 Mg C ha-1和76 Mg C ha-1,土壤碳储量分别为178 Mg C ha-1和199 Mg C ha-1。非均匀林龄林分的长期木材产量为均匀林分的95%,在81年期间,净碳固存差异为37 Mg ha-1。平均树龄林分土壤CO2排放最高。在81年期间,树木吸收的净碳总量减去目前的土壤碳储量为16 Mg ha-1,有利于平均年龄系统。
