Abstract: |
To investigate the changes in plant biodiversity and soil physicochemical properties in severel
burned forest area
y
s, we selected sample plots from different recovery periods (2. 5-16. 0 years) after intense
burning in Lankeshan Provincial Nature Reserve in Xijiang, Guangdong and Beiling Mountain forest farms, as
well as plots from a forest park that had never been burned (control group). We recorded detailed information
on plant species, their numbers, and coverage within the sample plots, and calculated plant diversity indices.
Concurrently, we measured the physicochemical properties of the topsoil (0-10 cm) and the particle size distribution of macroaggregates (wet sieving) and micro-aggregates. The results showed that, (1) After severe
burning, the number of understory plant species, their abundance, Margalef richness index, and Shannon -
Wiener diversity index were all lower than those in the control plots that had not been burned. The understory
plant species and abundance significantly decreased after burning. Over time, the burned plots showed an initial
increase followed by a decrease in the number of understory plant species, Shannon - Wiener index, Pielou
evenness index, and litter depth. However, Margalef richness index and Fisher′s α showed an overall increasing trend. Most soil physicochemical properties were positively correlated with Simpson dominance index and
habitat Fisher′s α but negatively correlated with other diversity indices; however, these correlations were not
significant. (2) With an increase in the recovery period after burning, soil pH, total potassium, total phosphorus, and available phosphorus generally first increased and then decreased. Meanwhile, available potassium, total nitrogen, hydrolyzable nitrogen, cation exchange capacity showed an initial decrease followed by an
increase. (3) As the recovery period after burning increased, the content of stable macroaggregates ( >0. 50
mm and >0. 25 mm) in the soil increased initially and then decreased. Severe burning helped increase the content of macroaggregates and soil stability in the short term. The content of micro-aggregates (≤0. 25 mm) decreased initially and then increased with the lengthening of recovery time. The short-term recovery process after
burning enhanced the erosion-resistant stability of fine soil particles. |
