摘要:

探究土壤微生物碳循环功能基因丰度对深刻理解土壤碳循环机制具有重要作用,然而土壤微生物碳循环功能基因丰度对不同人工林类型的响应特征尚不清楚。以南亚热带马尾松 (Pinus massoniana)-格木(Erythrophleum fordii)人工混交林及其纯林为研究对象,基于林地不同土层(0-20、20-40、40-60 cm)土壤样品的宏基因组测序数据以及土壤理化性质和有机碳组分,解析不同林分不同土层间土壤微生物碳循环(碳固定、碳降解和甲烷代谢)功能基因丰度的差异特征及其主导的土壤环境因子。结果表明:马尾松林土壤微生物碳固定功能基因(rcbLMUTPCCA)丰度显著高于其他2个林分,这与其土壤总磷(TP)含量较高且微生物生物量碳(MBC)、易氧化有机碳(EOC)、颗粒有机碳(POC)和惰性有机碳(ROC)含量显著较低的影响有关;土壤微生物碳降解功能基因(MAN2C1bglB)丰度在马尾松林中显著高于混交林(P<0.05),主要受到马尾松林土壤有机碳(SOC)、MBC、可溶性有机碳(DOC)、EOC和ROC含量低的显著影响;马尾松林甲烷代谢功能基因(pmoA-amoApmoB-amoBpmoC-amoC)丰度显著最高,这与土壤SOC、MBC、DOC、EOC和ROC的显著负作用有关。另外,3个人工林土壤微生物碳循环功能基因丰度基本随土壤深度增加而增加,主要与土壤SOC、C/N、MBC、DOC、EOC和ROC含量随土壤深度加深而降低密切相关。总之,马尾松林土壤微生物具有较高碳循环潜力,但3个林分土壤微生物碳循环潜力均随土壤深度增加而增强,土壤有机碳组分是主导3个人工林土壤微生物碳循环功能基因丰度差异的重要因素。

Abstract:

Exploring the abundance of carbon cycle functional genes in soil microorganisms is important for understanding the mechanism of soil carbon cycling. However, the response characteristics of soil microbial carbon cycle functional gene abundance to different plantation types are still unclear. Based on the metagenomic sequencing data, soil physicochemical properties, and organic carbon components of soil samples from different soil layers (0-20, 20-40, 40-60 cm) under the mixed species plantation with Pinus massoniana and Erythrophleum fordii, as well as their pure plantations in south subtropical China, the differences in microbial functional gene abundance related to soil carbon cycling (carbon fixation, carbon degradation and methane metabolism) between different soil layers of different stands, and the dominant soil environmental factors were analyzed. The results showed that the abundance of soil microbial carbon fixation functional genes (rcbL, MUT and PCCA) in the Pinus massoniana stand was significantly higher than that in the other two stands. This difference was attributed to higher soil total phosphorus (TP) content and significantly lower contents of microbial biomass carbon (MBC), easily oxidizable organic carbon (EOC), particulate organic carbon (POC), and recalcitrant organic carbon (ROC) (P < 0.05). The abundance of carbon degradation functional genes (MAN2C1 and bglB) was significantly higher in the Pinus massoniana stand than that in mixed plantation. These differences were mainly affected by the low content of soil organic carbon (SOC), MBC, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), EOC and ROC in Pinus massoniana plantation. The highest abundance of methane metabolism functional genes (pmoA-amoA, pmoB-amoB and pmoC-amoC) was observed in the Pinus massoniana plantation, which was related to significant negative effects of SOC, MBC, DOC, EOC, and ROC. Additionally, the abundance of microbial carbon cycle functional genes in all three planted forests increased with increasing soil depth, mainly due to the decrease in SOC, C/N ratio, MBC, DOC, EOC and ROC contents. Overall, the Pinus massoniana stand exhibited a relatively high potential for soil microbial carbon cycling, while the soil microbial carbon cycle potential in all three stands increased with soil depth. The composition of soil organic carbon was identified as an important factor regulating the difference in functional gene abundance of soil microbial carbon cycling in these plantations.
