| Abstract/Contents: | "Urban land area is expanding worldwide and may contribute to long-term carbon (C) storage; however, little is known about potential drivers of soil C in urban areas. Residential areas are one of the largest urban land use zones and lawns can provide stable chronosequences for studying soil C dynamics. In residential lawns containing no trees (n = 23), the relationships between soil C and four potential drivers [home age (151 years), yard maintenance practices (fertilization, irrigation, and bagging or mulching lawn clippings), soil nitrogen (N) and soil texture] were investigated. Soil C increased with home age at 0-15 cm depth by 0.026 kg C m-2 yr-1, declined by -0.011 kg C m-2 yr-1 at 15-30 cm depth, and was stable at 30-50 cm depth. Soil C had a positive relationship with soil N (R2 = 0.55) at the 0-15 cm depth. Soil C and N were not related to yard maintenance practices or soil texture. The low soil C sequestration rate and limited relationships between soil C and home age, yard maintenance, soil N and soil texture may have resulted from the positive influence of Auburn's humid, subtropical climate on residue decomposition." |
