Abstract

Here, we investigated the influence of site characteristics and soil properties on the chemical composition of organic matter in soils collected from a latitudinal transect across Alaska through analysis of diffuse reflectance Fourier transform mid infrared (MidIR) spectra of bulk soils. The study included 119 soil samples collected from 28 sites including tundra, boreal forest, and grassland ecosystems. Organic, mineral, and cryoturbated soil horizons, both seasonally and perennially frozen, from a variety of depths and edaphic conditions were examined. The amount and chemical composition of organic matter as well as site and soil properties exerted a strong influence on the MidIR spectra. The spectra were highly sensitive to the extent of organic matter decomposition, enabling the ordination of Oi, Oe and Oa organic horizons. Differences in absorbance intensity for several spectral bands indicated that Oi horizons contained greater abundance of relatively fresh residues, phenolic-OH compounds, aliphatic compounds (waxes, lipids and fats), and carbohydrates. In contrast, Oa horizons had a greater presence of amide groups (possibly from microbial residues), aromatics, C=C bonds, carboxylates and carboxylic acids. Another significant factor differentiating these horizons was the incorporation of clays and silicates into the decomposing organic matter of Oa horizons. Calculated height peak ratiosmore »« less

Calculated height peak ratios showed a clear trend to greater decomposition among Oi, Oe and Oa. The MidIR spectra were related to many site/soil attributes including land cover type, parent material, and associated factors, such as permafrost presence/absence, soil drainage, horizon depth, bulk density, cation exchange capacity, and pH. Single MidIR spectral bands were identified that might be used in future studies to quickly estimate the organic and inorganic carbon, total nitrogen, and carbon:nitrogen ratios of soils from northern latitudes. Lastly, our results demonstrate that the information contained in MidIR spectra of bulk soil integrates the quantity and chemical composition of soil organic matter with soil forming factors and highlights the potential for using this information to assess the degradation state of organic matter stored in northern cold-region soils.},

Flux of carbon from 14C-enriched leaf litter throughout a forest soil mesocosm

Journal Article Froberg, Mats J. ; Hanson, Paul J ; Trumbore, Susan E. ; ... - Geoderma

The role of DOC for the build-up of soil organic carbon pools is still not well known, but it is thought to play a role in the transport of carbon to a greater depth where it becomes more stable. The aim of this study was to elucidate within-year dynamics of carbon transport from litter to the O (Oe and Oa) and A horizons. Mesocosms with constructed soil profiles were used to study dynamics of C transport from 14C-enriched (about 1000 ) leaf litter to the Oe/Oa and A horizons as well as the mineralization of leaf litter. The mesocosms weremore »« less

Predicting the decomposability of arctic tundra soil organic matter with mid infrared spectroscopy

Journal Article Matamala, Roser ; Jastrow, Julie D. ; Calderon, Francisco J. ; ... - Soil Biology and Biochemistry

Vast amounts of soil organic matter (SOM) have been preserved in arctic soils over millennia time scales due to the limiting effects of cold and wet environments on decomposer activity. With the increase in high latitude warming due to climate change, the potential decomposability of this SOM needs to be assessed. In this study, we investigated the capability of mid infrared (MIR) spectroscopy to quickly predict soil carbon and nitrogen concentrations and carbon (C) mineralized during short-term incubations of tundra soils. Active layer and upper permafrost soils collected from four tundra sites on the North Slope of Alaska were incubatedmore »« less

Controls on Soil Organic Matter Degradation and Subsequent Greenhouse Gas Emissions Across a Permafrost Thaw Gradient in Northern Sweden

Journal Article AminiTabrizi, Roya ; Wilson, Rachel M. ; Fudyma, Jane D. ; ... - Frontiers in Earth Science

Warming-induced permafrost thaw could enhance microbial decomposition of previously stored soil organic matter (SOM) to carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), one of the most significant potential feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere in a changing climate. The environmental parameters regulating microbe-organic matter interactions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in northern permafrost peatlands are however still largely unknown. The objective of this work is to understand controls on SOM degradation and its impact on porewater GHG concentrations across the Stordalen Mire, a thawing peat plateau in Northern Sweden. Here, we applied high-resolution mass spectrometry to characterize SOM molecular compositionmore »« less

Aluminum solubility in organic soil horizons from northern and southern forested watersheds

Journal Article Walker, W J ; Cronan, C S ; Bloom, P R

A study was conducted to determine the influence of organic matter on the solubility of Al in organic soil horizons from different geographic regions. Results showed that the equilibrium solubility of Al was dependent on solution pH and the degree to which the soil organic matter was saturated with Al. Plots of Al solubility showed that, as solution pH decreased, soluble Al increased, and that, for a given pH, soluble increased with increasing surfacebound Al. In addition, Al solubility was always less than that predicted from the solubility of natural gibbsite or kaolinite. Temperature dependence and rate studies suggested thatmore »« less

Susceptibility of volcanic ash-influenced soil in Northern Idaho to mechanical compaction. Forest Service research note

Technical Report Page-Dumroese, D S

Timber harvesting and mechanical site preparation can reduce site productivity if they excessively disturb or compact the soil. Volcanic ash-influenced soils with low undisturbed bulk densities and rock content are particularly susceptible. The study evaluates the effects of harvesting and site preparation on changes in the bulk density of ash-influenced forest soils in northern Idaho. Three different levels of surface organic matter were studied. Soil samples were taken before and after harvesting to determine the extent and depth of compaction. Soil bulk densities increased significantly after extensive compaction from site preparation, especially when little logging slash and surface organic mattermore »« less
