- Abstract
Warming-induced decrease in seasonal snow cover has a great potential to affect soil nitrogen cycle in alpine cold forest ecosystems. In this study, a woodenshelter method was used to remove the snow accumulation. Soil nitrogen pools and mineralization rates in the snow removal and control plots were measured synchronously in three critical periods (early snow cover, deep snow cover and snow cover melting) in a subalpine spruce forest of western Sichuan, China. Seasonal snow cover kept soil from cold air temperature. Snow removal decreased average and minimum soil temperatures (5 cm) by 0.33 and 1.17, respectively. In addition, snow removal caused a positive effect on soil frost depth and freeze thaw cycle. There was a significant dynamic in soil labile nitrogen pool among different periods. Snow removal on average increased NH4+-N, NO3--N and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) contents by 38.6%, 23.5% and 57.3%, respectively, over the winter. Moreover, snow removal increased soil net nitrification and mineralization rates in the snow co-ver melting period. Overall, warming induced decrease in snow cover could stimulate winter soil nitrogen cycle of subalpine forests.
