Accumulation and Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon in Phragmites communis Wetlands Restored with Ecological Engineering

Abstract:

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for the global carbon cycle and balance. In order to study the factors that affect the changes of SOC at different levels (0 ~ 20 cm, 20 ~ 40 cm) in degraded areas and continuous water supply area (3 years, 5 years, 7 years), Phragmites communis wetland of the Yellow River Delta were sampled. The results showed that the upper soil layer (0-20cm) had more SOC than the lower soil layer (20-40cm) in the restored sites. The SOC increased in the 0-20cm soil layer from 7.710±0.756 g/kg to 16.96±0.213 g/kg. Soil salinity and pH value decreased with the freshwater restoration, while SOC increased with the restoration time. SOC had extremely significantly negative correlation with pH (r = -0.564, P < 0.01). The correlation analysis of soil properties showed that SOC had significantly positive correlation with total nitrogen (TN) and NH4+-N (P <0.01) and had negative correlation with C/N. It suggested that wetland restoration not only increased soil organic carbon content, but also improved the ability of nitrogen mineralization.
