Soil depth as a driver of microbial and carbon dynamics in a planted forest (Pinus radiata) pumice soil
Abstract. Forest soils are fundamental in regulating the global carbon (C)
cycle; their capacity to accumulate large stores of C means they form a
vital role in mitigating the effects of climate change. Understanding the
processes that regulate forest soil C dynamics and stabilisation is
important to maximise the capacity and longevity of C sequestration.
Compared with surface soil layers, little is known about soil C dynamics in
subsoil layers, sensu those below 30 cm depth. This knowledge gap creates large
uncertainties when estimating the distribution of global soil C stocks and
assessing the vulnerability of soil C reserves to climate change. This study
aimed to dive deep into the subsoils of Puruki Experimental Forest (New
Zealand) and characterise the changes in soil C dynamics and the soil
microbiome down to 1 m soil depth. ITS and 16S rRNA sequencing and
quantitative real-time PCR were used to measure changes in soil microbial
diversity, composition, and abundance. Stable (δ13C) and
radioactive (14C) C analyses were performed to assess depth-driven
changes in the stability and age of soil C. Our research identified large
declines in microbial diversity and abundance with soil depth, alongside
significant structural shifts in community membership. Importantly, we
conservatively estimate that more than 35 % of soil C stocks are present in
subsoil layers below 30 cm. Although the age of soil C steadily increased
with depth, reaching a mean radiocarbon age of 1571 yr BP (years before
present) in the deepest soil layers, the stability of soil C varied between
different subsoil depth increments. These research findings highlight the
importance of quantifying subsoil C stocks for accurate C accounting. By
performing a broad range of analytical measures, this research has
comprehensively characterised the abiotic and biotic properties of a subsoil
environment – a frequently understudied but significant component of forest
ecosystems.
