text: Forest succession alters soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics by changing litter
quality of litter entering the soil and affecting microbial communities. However,
few studies have explored how litter quality interacts with soil fungal communities
to regulate SOC mineralization during successional changes in forest succession.
We studied the relationship between litter quality, SOC mineralization, and associated
fungal composition by conducting an in-situ decomposition experiment in a natural
broadleaf forest and a pure Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forest, where the
succession in former forest arrested by structurally inferior bamboo grasses.
On average, topsoil organic carbon mineralization increased by 73 % and subsoil
by 233 % (only during autumn) following the broadleaf forest transitions to bamboo
dominance. More decomposable litterfall in the bamboo forests increased the abundance
of saprophytic fungi (e.g., Mortierellales and Chaetothyriales orders) and enhanced
topsoil degradation functions, promoting SOC mineralization compared to the broadleaf
forest. Higher water-soluble organic carbon content increased subsoil organic
carbon mineralization by increasing the abundance of Mortierellales order. Our
results emphasized the importance of interaction between litter quality and fungal
composition (especially saprophytic fungi) regulated SOC mineralization in arrested
succession. The enhanced SOC mineralization after the broadleaf forest transition
to bamboo forest suggested that the traits of Moso bamboo, such as fast litterfall
decomposition, can accelerate SOC mineralization to reinforce its dominance. By
examining the role of microbial decomposition in regulating soil nutrient dynamics
in the context of arrested succession, our study offered a unique mechanistic
perspective on the belowground drivers of bamboo dominance, with important implications
for forest structure and function.
