Abstract

[Objective] To illustrate the effects of exotic species Larix kaempferi forest on soil nutrition.[Method] The litter decomposition and nutrient release of L. kaempferi forest in Dalaoling Nature Reserve were investigated using litter bag.[Result] It was showed that the litter decomposition and nutrient release rates followed the order of:coniferous and broad leaved mixed forest >24-year-old L. kaempferi forest > 18-year-old L. kaempferi forest. The litter retention rate had an exponential relationship with time (R2>0.94, PK) of litter decomposition were 0.5556, 0.4450 and 0.3662 for the three forest types, respectively. The litter decomposition rate showed a significantly positive correlation with the initial N content (PPL. kaempferi forest >24-year-old L. kaempferi forest > the coniferous and broad leaved mixed forest.[Conclusion] Litter decomposition and nutrient release rates were different in different forest stands, with the coefficient of litter decomposition showed as the coniferous and broad leaved mixed forest > 24-year-old L. kaempferi forest > 18-year-old L. kaempferi forest.
