RESUMO
Urban forest is an important carbon pool, soil respiration of which is an important part of terrestrial carbon cycle. To understand the dynamics and influencing factors of soil respiration in urban forest under the background of increasing nitrogen deposition, we conducted dynamic observation on soil respiration rate, temperature, moisture and chemical properties by adding 0 (CK), 50 (LN), 100 (HN) kg N·m-2·a-1 ammonium nitrate to a typical urban forest. The results showed that soil respiration had significant seasonal variation, which was not affected by nitrogen addition. Soil respiration was significantly correlated with soil temperature. The interaction between soil temperature and soil moisture could better explain the variation of soil respiration. Nitrogen addition changed temperature sensitivity of soil respiration, with the order of Q10 values as LN (2.12) > CK (2.10) > HN (2.05). Soil nitrate concentration, soil soluble organic carbon, pH, soil carbon to nitrogen ratio had significant correlation with soil respiration. The positive effect of nitrogen deposition on soil respiration was mainly in the growing season, with slightly inhibitive effect in the non-growing season.
