Abstract/Contents: | "The effects of elevated CO₂ on belowground C input, on decomposition of roots in situ vs. decomposition of disturbed roots, and on soil microbial boimass were investigated in a perennial grass species. Forty ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) plants were homogeneously 1 ⁴C-labeled in two controlled environments for 115 d in a continous 1⁴CO₂ atmosphere at 350 and 700 μL CO₂ L⁻1 and two soil N levels (low, LN, and high, HN). Thereafter, some of the plants were destructively harvested. Undisturbed root systems of the remaining plants were incubated in situ (IRS) for comparison with a disturbed incubation of the dried and ground roots (DRS) in their original soils. At the start of the incubation, elevated CO₂ had increased total 1⁴C-labeled soil C input by 44 and 27% at LN and HN, respectively, compared with input at ambient CO₂. After incubation for 230 d, 40% of 1⁴C soil content was mineralized to 1⁴CO₂ in the disturbed system and 52% in the intact system. Native soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition of the DRS was lower than the SOM decomposition of the IRS. Elevated CO₂ decreased the decomposition of roots and root-derived products by 10% and increased the size of the 1⁴C-SMB by 28% for both IRS and DRS, whereas the decomposition of SOM was not affected by CO₂ at either LN or HN. After plant growth and in situ incubation, the 1⁴C-labeled C in the soil solution showed a highly positive correlation with the amount of 1⁴C-SMB. The ratio between 1⁴C-labeled microorganisms and total 1⁴CO₂ evolved was not affected by elevated CO₂. It seems that microorganisms adapt to changing soil C input under elevated CO₂ and there is no effect on their turnover behavior." |
