Soil nitrification and denitrification in Cunninghamia lanceolata plantations with different stand ages

The variations in soil nitrification and denitrification processes, together with the abundances of functional microbes were investigated in Cunninghamia lanceolata plantations with different stand ages of 5, 8, 21, 27, and 40 years old. The results showed that the net nitrification rate fluctuated with increasing forest ages, with that of 8-year- and 27-year-old C. lanceolata plantations being significantly lower than other stand ages. The abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) amoA in the 27-year-old plantation was significantly lower than that of the 40-year-old plantation, while there was no significant difference among the other stand ages. There was no significant difference in the abundance of AOB amoA gene, denitrifying functional genes or soil denitrification potential among different stand ages. The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that the abundance of AOA amoA gene was not significantly affected by soil physical and chemical properties. In addition, the abundance of AOB was positively associated with soil total carbon content and soil pH. The abundance of denitrifying functional genes including narG, nirK and nosZ increased with increasing soil pH. The abundance of nirK and nirS was influenced by soil total carbon. Stand age influenced soil net nitrification rate through the AOA amoA abundance. Moreover, soil denitrification potential was directly affected by stand age, or indirectly affected by stand age through soil microbial biomass carbon, soil pH and denitrifying gene abundance of narG and nirK. Compared with the denitrification process, soil nitrification and associated AOA amoA gene abundance were more sensitive to the development of C. lanceolata plantations. The rotation period sould be appropriately extended to reduce the risk of nitrogen losses resulting from soil nitrification.
