The purpose of the paper is to describe soil organic carbon (SOC)
sequestration rates in calcareous shallow soils in reforested areas in the
Tatra Mountains with a particular focus on different forms of organic matter
(OM) storage. Three plant communities creating a mosaic on the slopes of the
studied valley were taken into account.
Fifty years since the conversion of pastureland to unused grassland, dwarf
pine shrub and larch forest have emerged in the study area, along with the
development of genetic soil horizons as well as SOC sequestration in the
soil despite the steepness of slopes. SOC stock was measured to be the
highest in soils under larch forest (63.5 Mg ha−1), while in soil under
grassland and under dwarf pine shrub, this value was found to be smaller
(47.5 and 42.9 Mg ha−1, respectively).
The highest amount of mineral-associated OM inside stable microaggregates
(MOM FF3) was found in grassland soil (21.9–27.1 % of SOC) and less under
dwarf pine shrub (16.3–19.3 % of SOC) and larch forest (15.3–17.7 % of
SOC). A pool of mineral-associated OM inside transitional macroaggregates
(MOM FF2) was found in soil under dwarf pine shrub (39.2–59.2 % of SOC),
with less under larch forest (43.8–44.7 % of SOC) and the least in
grassland soil (37.9–41.6 % of SOC). The highest amount of the free light
particulate fraction (POM LF1) was found in soil under dwarf pine shrub
(6.6–10.3 % of SOC), with less under larch forest (2.6–6.2 % of SOC)
and the least in grassland soil (1.7–4.8 % of SOC). |
