摘　　要：通过对中亚热带格氏栲天然林 ( natural forest of Castanopsiskawakamii,约 1 5 0年生 )、格氏栲和杉木人工林 ( monoculture plantations of C.kawakamii and Cunninghamia lanceolata,33年生 )凋落物数量与季节动态、养分归还及凋落叶分解与其质量的关系为期 3a的研究表明 ,林分年均凋落量及叶所占比例分别为 :格氏栲天然林 1 1 .0 1 t/hm2 ,5 9.70 t/hm2 ;格氏栲人工林 9.5 4 % ,71 .98% ;杉木人工林 5 .47t/hm2 ,5 8.2 9%。格氏栲天然林与人工林凋落量每年只出现 1次峰值 ( 4月份 ) ,而杉木林的则出现 3次 ( 4或5月份、8月份和 1 1月份 )。除杉木林的 Ca和格氏栲人工林的 Mg年归还量最大外 ,N、P、K及养分总归还量均以格氏栲天然林的为最大 ,杉木人工林的最小。分解 1 a后格氏栲天然林中格氏栲叶的干重损失最大( 98.1 6% ) ,杉木叶的最小 ( 60 .78% )。C/N及木质素 /N比值与凋落叶分解速率呈显著负相关 ,而 N、水溶性化合物初始浓度与分解速率呈显著正相关。与针叶树人工林相比 ,天然林的凋落物数量大、养分归还量高、分解快 ,具有良好自我培肥地力的能力。因此 ,保护和扩大常绿阔叶林资源已成为南方林区实现森林可持续经营的重要措施之一。The amount and pattern of litterfall, its nutrient (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) returns, and leaf-litter decomposition associated with its quality were studied in a natural forest of Castanopsis kawakamii (NF) and adjacent monoculture plantations of C. kawakamii (CK) and Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata, CF) in Sanming, Fujian, China. Mean annual total litterfall over 3 years of observations (from 1999 to 2001) was 11.01 t·hm -2 in the NF, 9.54 t·hm -2 in the CK and 5.47 t·hm -2 in the CF respectively. Of the total annual litterfall in the three forests, leaf contribution constituted 59.70%, 71.98% and 58.29%, respectively. Litterfall in the NF and CK showed similar litterfall pattern with a distinct peak in April of each year. While for the CF, the litterfall peaks occurred in April (or May), August and November, respectively. Except for the highest annual Ca returns in the CF and Mg returns in the CK, the three forests could be arranged in this sequence with respect to annual nutrient returns: NF>CK>CF. The annual percent leaf litter mass loss was the highest for C. kawakamii in the NF (98.16%) and the lowest for Chinese fir (60.78%). Ratios of C/N and lignin/N had significantly negative influences on decay rate coefficients, while initial N and water soluble compounds exerted significantly positive influences. The results of this study demonstrate that the natural forest has a greater capability for maintaining site productivity than monoculture plantations due to higher amount and quality of litter coupled with greater nutrient returns and faster litter decomposition. Therefore, conservation of the natural forest is recommended as a practical measure in forest management to realize sustainable development of forestry in mountainous areas of southern China.
