- Abstract
The leaf litters of 10-year-old Quercus mongolica were put in nylon bags and exposed to elevated O3 level (120 nmol·mol-1) with the control of 40 nmol·mol-1 in open top chambers (OTCs) for 150 days to test the effect of high O3 on the litter decomposition. The results showed that no significant difference was observed in residual mass between elevated O3 treatment and the control. Elevated O3 inhibited the release of C and K during the decomposition, the residual rate of K under elevated O3treatment (23.9%) was significantly higher than that of the control (17.1%) after 150-day decomposition. Compared with the control, N mineralization and lignin degradation in elevated O3 treatment were inhibited during early period of decomposition (0-60 d), but were promoted in later period (90-150 d). The changes of lignin/N showed no significant difference between elevated O3 treatment and the control during the decomposition. Elevated O3 generally promoted the release of P in leaf litter of Q. mongolica during the decomposition. C/P ratio was higher under elevated O3 than that under control. Significant positive correlation was shown between residual dry mass of leaf litters and the residual rate of C, N, K, C/N ratio during decomposition. Elevated O3 might play an important role in the nutrient cycle of forest ecosystem in high-O3 pollution area.
