- Abstract
In this study, a buried bag experiment was used to investigate mass loss and C, N and P release patterns of fine (⩽2 mm), medium (2-5 mm) and coarse (⩾5 mm) roots of 3 subalpine dominant trees, i. e., Betula albosinensis, Abies faxoniana and Picea asperata in the growing and non-growing seasons. In general, the remaining mass of B. albosinensis was lower than that of A. faxoniana and P. asperata. In addition, root remaining mass increased with the increase of root diameter for the same species. The mass losing rate in the non-growing season was 52.1%-64.4% of a year. The C release of B. albosinensis was the highest, but that of A. faxoniana was the lowest. Also, C release decreased with the increase of root diameter. N of A. faxoniana and P. asperata were enriched in the non-growing season but released in the growing season. However, the opposite pattern was found for B. albosinensis. During the non-growing season, the amount of N enrichment increased with the increase of root diameter. The P release of 3 species was characterized as the enrichment-release pattern. P enrichment of A. faxoniana was significantly greater than that of P. asperata and B. albosinensis. Nevertheless, no significant difference was observed between diameter sizes. In conclusion, diameter size had significant effect on root decomposition in the subalpine forests of western Sichuan, and the diameter effect was dependent on tree species and season.
