SOIL CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND TURNOVER IN A PINE FOREST AFTER SIX YEARS OF ATMOSPHERIC CO 2 ENRICHMENT
Abstract
During the first six years of atmospheric CO2 enrichment at the Duke Forest free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment, an additional sink of 52 ± 16 g C·m−2·yr−1 accumulated in the forest floor (O-horizon) of the elevated CO2 treatment relative to the ambient CO2 control in an aggrading loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) forest near Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. The experiment maintained an atmospheric CO2 concentration 200 μL/L above ambient levels in replicated (n = 3) FACE rings throughout the six-year period. This CO2-induced C sink was associated with greater inputs of organic matter in litterfall and fine-root turnover. There was no evidence that microbial decomposition was altered by the elevated CO2 treatment. Consistent with ecosystem recovery following decades of intensive agriculture, the C and N content of the mineral soil increased under both the elevated CO2 treatment and the ambient CO2 control during the six-year period. This increase is attributed to accumulation of plant residues derived from fine roots with relatively high turnover rates rather than accumulation of refractory or physically protected soil organic matter (SOM). The elevated CO2 treatment produced no detectable effect on the C and N content of the bulk mineral soils or of any particulate organic matter size fraction. Because the fumigation gas was strongly depleted in 13C, the incorporation of new C could be traced within the ecosystem. Significant decreases in δ13C of soil organic carbon (SOC) under the elevated CO2 treatment were used to estimate the mean residence times of intra-aggregate particulate organic matter and mineral-associated organic matter as well as the annual C inputs required to produce the observed changes in δ13C. Our results indicate that forest soils such as these will not significantly mitigate anthropogenic C inputs to the atmosphere. The organic matter pools receiving large annual C inputs have short mean residence times, while those with slow turnover rates receive small annual inputs.

Low-storage changes for short-rotation woody crops were supported by findings for short-rotation forestry using labelled carbon, which also showed that new carbon accumulated in soil organic carbon pools was characterised by high turnover rates.
“These low-storage changes were supported by findings for SRF using labelled C [142], which also showed that new C accumulated in SOC pools was characterised by high turnover rates.”

For forest systems, new carbon inputs from plant residues can enter relatively fast decomposable soil organic carbon pools, particularly if the soil had a low clay content.
“For forest systems [142], it has been shown that new C inputs from plant residues can enter relatively fast decomposable SOC pools, particularly if the soil had a low clay content [148].”

The stability of SOC pools defines the sustainability of soil C sequestration and eventually the effective C neutrality of the system.
“It is the stability of these pools which defines the sustainability of soil C sequestration and eventually the effective C neutrality of the system [125, 142].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
