摘要
The medium-term dynamics of organic matter in a sandy savanna soil has been investigated at Lamto (Ivory Coast) through changes in the 13C/12C ratio induced by vegetation changes from the C4 to the C3 photosynthetic pathway. After 25 yr of protection from fire, a soil previously covered by C4 grassland vegetation had been progressively colonized by C3 woody plants. Although the total C content did not show significant changes. 52-70% of the original C4 carbon was turned over when vegetation cover was changed. Turnover of coarse organic debris (> 250 μm) was much greater (97%) than the mineralization (50%) of clay-associated fractions (< 20 μm). © 1990.
