摘要: The effects of genotypic differences on soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and their interactions with forest management systems are poorly understood. This study was undertaken to examine the family × SOC evaluate distribution across different size–density fractions in a forested Spodosol. site consisted 6-year-old loblolly pine plantation that managed under two intensities (high low level fertilization chemical understory control) included three full-sib families (fast, medium slow growers, designated priori based above ground growth). fast growing exhibited 59% higher C (p = 0.04) than 2,000 250-μm light density fraction. grower 8% aggregate 250 150-μm 0.05) heavy 0.06) fractions. Family were detected among all fraction contained most C. A modified fractionation sonication procedure proved sensitive for detecting significant as few 6 years. These results highlight potential deployment factor influencing sequestration need fully understand long-term activities pools.
