Biomass productivity, forest stability, carbon balance, and soil transformation of agricultural land afforestation: A casu study of suitability of native tree species in the submontane zone in Czechia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The increasing trend of afforestation is described in almost all European countries, however, the knowledge of the growth parameters of particular tree species on abandoned agricultural land is still incomplete. Therefore, the characteristics of young forest stands which are afforested with 5 native tree species (Norway spruce, European beech, English oak, sycamore maple, and small-leaved lime) were analyzed 14 years after afforestation. Afforestation had a positive influence on the soil physical characteristics with the highest porosity (58.2%) in spruce stands and water saturation (48.5%) in oak stands. Maple had the fastest initial growth and production with the highest mean annual increment (12.1 m(3) ha(-1) y(-1)) and total biomass production (200.8 t ha(- 1)). Contrarily, the lowest production parameters were found in the beech stands with a low mean annual increment (1.4 m(3) ha(-1) y(-1)) and total biomass production (28.4 t ha(-1)). The most abundant carbon quantity in the soil and tree biomass together was sequestered in lime (125.1 t ha( -1)) followed by maple stands (124.5 t ha(- 1)). On average, the total carbon balance was 67.4% stored in the tree biomass, and 32.6% in the soil for tree species evaluated together. The amount of carbon sequestered in the soil will increase in the following years in relation to overlying humus development, incorporation of soil organic carbon in the mineral soil horizons, as well as with tree biomass production. The study demonstrated a significant difference in growth potential, biomass production, soil transformation and carbon sequestration in native tree species stands established on former agricultural lands. Most importantly, the differences in carbon sequestration should be considered in future agricultural land afforestation to mitigate the negative impact of global climate change.
