Intra- and interspecies variability of pines: relationship with soil chemical properties in the long-term provenance experiment in the Western Sayans 1 Electronic science-productive magazine "AgroEcoInfo" ================================================= Biomass and activity of soil microorganisms under different pine species and climatypes Naumova N.*, Makarikova R.*, Kuznetsova G.** * Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry SB RAS ** Sukachev’s Institute of Forest SB RAS Abstract In the long-term field provenance experiment in the south of Krasnoyarsk region (Russia) the influence of inter- and intraspecies heterogeneity of pines (Pinus sibirica Du Tour and Pinus koraiensis Sieboldd et Zucc.) on some soil microbiological properties (soil microbial biomass C and N, their ratio to soil organic C and N, soil basal and substrate-induced respiration, metabolic and respiratory quotients) was studied. Under Siberian pine as compared to the Korean one, the bulk soil showed higher substrate-induced respiration (13.4 vs. 11.5 μl • hr-1 • g1 soil), while the rhizosphere soil had increased microbial biomass C (590 vs. 413 μg С • g-1 soil) and its contribution into soil organic matter (1.1 vs. 0.9 %). Interspecies heterogeneity of pines displayed different patterns of its effect on soil microbiological properties: the effect of Siberian pine climatypes was found to be statistically significant in multivariate and univariate (microbial N content, 11 - 15 μg • g-1 soil) ANOVA, while the effect of Korean pine climatypes was found to be statistically significant only in univariate ANOVA as concerned soil basal respiration (1.9 vs. 2.3 μl • hr-1 • g-1 soil) and its ratio to substrate-induced respiration (0.17 vs. 0.19). The interspecies differentiation of the studied pines in their growth and development properties (tree height and its annual increment, crone and trunk diameters, as well as branching pattern) was shown to correlate mainly with microbial biomass C/N ratio and substrate-induced respiration, while their intraspecies differences were positively correlated with soil basal respiration and respiratory quotient, i.e. the ratio of active to potentially active microorganisms, while being negatively correlated with microbial N and its contribution into soil organic N. Overall the variability of soil microbiological properties to a greater extent was determined by the immediate influence of pine roots, i.e. rhizosphere effect, than by inter- or intraspecies variability of physiology, biochemistry and productivity of the studied pines. Thus studying the structure and development of woody plants’ root systems should be getting more attention both in soil ecological studies and in planning tree use for technological purposes.

Intra- and interspecies variability of pines: relationship with soil chemical properties in the long-term provenance experiment in the Western Sayans 2 Electronic science-productive magazine "AgroEcoInfo" ================================================= Introduction Increasing use of coniferous tress for reclamation of disturbed territories [1], growing protective forest belts [2], parks and forest culture [3, 4], as well as changes in forest woody plants composition due to global warming [5, 6, 7, 8 ], all together significantly enhanced both the importance of the choice of tree species for the intended use and actuality of “plant-soil” interaction studies to acquire a more detailed insight of the effect of various plant species, climatypes and cultivars exert on soil properties. Plant material input on/into soil is the main carbon and energy source for most soil microorganisms. The quantity and quality of plant material with above- and below-ground litter and exudates depends on the inter- and intraspecific variability of productivity, physiology and biochemistry of the main forest-forming tree species [9, 10] and their changes due to the influences of various factors, such as pathogens, recreation, etc. The roots of trees are well developed, reaching deep into the soil and subsoil and hence influencing large soil amounts. Therefore the rhizosphere is an important interface of tree-soil interaction, root exudates being the major source of available carbon substrates for soil microorganisms [11]. Changes in chemical composition and/or amount of root exudates can significantly affect soil microbial community activity and composition [12, 13]. In practice it is quite difficult to differentiate between the influence of soil properties on plant growth and development and, vice versa, the influence of plants on soil properties. However, in Russia there are long-term field provenance experiments with various tree species and their climatypes [14, 15] set up in 1960-70s. These experiments represent unique objects, providing, among others, the possibility to investigate the influence of trees on soil microbial properties. The aim of this work was to study the influence of genotypic heterogeneity of pines on soil microbial biomass and activity, in particular, in the rhizosphere, in the long-term (over 30 years) field provenance experiment. Materials and methods The provenance experiment with different pine species and their climatypes was set up in the Ermakovo Forestry of the Krasnoyarsk region, Russia, in 1983. The experiment is described in details elsewhere [16]; briefly, 10,000 seedlings of Siberian pine (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) and Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieboldd et Zucc.) were planted on 1 hectare with 1.5 m between Makarikova R., Naumova N., Kuznetcova G. Intra- and interspecies variability of pines: relationship with soil chemical properties in the long-term provenance experiment in the Western Sayans 3 Electronic science-productive magazine "AgroEcoInfo" ================================================= rows and 0.7 m between individual plants. The Siberian pine was represented by 3 climatypes, namely, from Tashtagol (Kemerovo region, Russia), Shegar (Tomsk region, Russia) and Ermakovo (Krasnoyarsk region, Russia), i.e. the climatype that grows in the immediate vicinity of the field experiment plot and by default better adapted to the environment. Prior to experiment start the soil was cleared and ploughed, and hence is anthropogenically transformed grey soil. The experiment was set up and has been maintained since in triplicate plots, so each climatype occupies one subplot on each experimental plot. Soil was collected in August 2013 from 0-20 cm layer (immediately below the litter layer and with maximal root density) 60 cm from the tree row within the crone zone [17]. One composite sample was mixed from 6 individual soil monoliths. Rhizosphere soil was collected as the soil remaining on 1-3 cm pine roots after their gentle shaking [18]. Soil chemical properties in the experiment were described earlier [19]. Soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and nitrogen (SMBN) contents were estimated by fumigation-extraction methods [20, 21]. Briefly, moist soil was fumigated with ethanol-free chloroform for 24 hours in the dark at 25 оС. Then aliquots of the control (non-fumigated) and fumigated soil were extracted with 0.5 M K2SO4 solution (1: 4 w/v), and suspensions filtered through ammonium-free filters. The obtained extracts were analyzed for total nitrogen and organic carbon content by Kjeldahl and dichromate oxidation methods, respectively. Then SMBC was calculated as the difference in organic C content in extracts from fumigated and control soil, divided by 0.35 [21], and SMBN content was calculated as the difference in total nitrogen content in extracts from fumigated and control soil, divided by 0.54 [20]. Then by dividing soil microbial biomass C and N by soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (SON) content we estimated their respective contribution into soil organic matter. Soil basal respiration (CO2) was estimated by measuring CO2 evolved by soil after stabilization and without any amendments [22]. Substrate-induced respiration (SIR) was estimated by measuring CO2 evolved by soil after glucose addition at the rate of 0.8 mg С∙ g-1 o.d. soil to stimulate mainly bacterial growth [23]. The respiratory quotient (QR) was calculated as a ratio of the basal to the substrate-induced respiration [24], while biomass metabolic quotient was calculated as a ratio of basal respiration to microbial biomass carbon [25]. Statistical analysis (PCA and ANOVA) of the log-transformed soil microbiological data was performed by using Statistica v.6.1 software package. Makarikova R., Naumova N., Kuznetcova G. Intra- and interspecies variability of pines: relationship with soil chemical properties in the long-term provenance experiment in the Western Sayans 4 Electronic science-productive magazine "AgroEcoInfo" ================================================= Results and discussion Effect of interspecies heterogeneity of pines The obtained estimates of soil microbiological properties (Tab. 1) in general coincide with the data published earlier for topsoils (without litter) of coniferous forest ecosystems [26, 27, 28, 29]; however, there are few estimates for rhizosphere of coniferous trees. ANOVA revealed neither statistically, nor ecologically (the contribution into the total data variance less than 5%) significant effect of pine species on almost all the studied soil microbiological properties, except for substrate-induced respiration (Tab. 2). This parameter was higher in soil under Siberian pine (Tab. 1), most likely resulting from the more pronounced physiological reaction of microorganisms, actively growing or capable to begin growth immediately or several hours after addition of easily available carbon substrates [30], i.e. active and potentially active microorganisms [24]. The effect of soil (the bulk vs. rhizosphere soil) on the variability of soil microbiological properties was much more pronounced as compared to the effect of pine species (Tab. 2), as it was revealed in most of the studied properties, accounting for significant part of their total variance. For example, SMBN and its ratio to SON, as well as basal respiration and QR in the rhizosphere of both pine species, were found to be twice as high as in the bulk soil (Tab. 1). The findings confirm the relatively higher content of active microorganisms in the rhizosphere [30] due to more comfortable environment there because of the availability of carbon and energy substrates [24]. Soil microbial biomass C/N ratio in the rhizosphere was found to be quite decreased, most likely due to the difference in physiological status of rhizosphere microorganisms, as actively growing cells are enriched in nitrogen compounds. It was reasonable to assume that interspecies tree differences can be more explicit in the rhizosphere. Indeed, ANOVA of the rhizosphere soil data only showed the effect of pine species on SMBC (P = 0.056) and its ratio to SOC (P = 0.072), the respective values being 1.4 and 1.2 times higher under Siberian pine (Tab. 1), confirming increased availability of organic substrates in the rhizosphere of the species [31] and increased microbial biomass contribution into humus formation [32].

Effect of intraspecies heterogeneity of pines The obtained estimates of microbiological properties of the bulk soil, sampled from under different climatypes of both pine species, did not vary much due to the intraspecies variability of pines (Tab. 3). Nevertheless, the performed multivariate ANOVA revealed statistically significant effect of climatypes in soil under Siberian pine and no effect under Korean pine (Tabs. 4, 5). As for the univariate ANOVA results, under Siberian pine the effect of climatype accounted for about 1/3 of the variance of SMBN and of its ratio to total soil nitrogen, as well as SIR (Tab. 4). Under Korean pine the effect of climatype was found for soil basal respiration, accounting for almost half of its variance (Tab. 5) and for QR (Tabs. 4, 5), accounting for about 1/3 of its variance. Basal respiration was estimated to be 1.6 times more intensive under Khabarovsk climatype of the Korean pine as compared to the Primorsk one, in other words the difference between climatypes concerning soil microbial metabolic activity can ecologically be quite significant and lead to different intensity of organic matter mineralization in soil under the trees. For some soil properties such as SMBN and of its ratio to total soil nitrogen, as well as Qmet, in soil under Korean pine ANOVA showed the significance level of the climatype effect ranging 0.05 ≤ P ≤ 0.10 (Tab. 5), which can also be regarded as statistically significant, if we raise significance level to P ≤ 0.10, as it is sometimes proposed for ecological studies [33]. Yet the multivariate ANOVA did not reveal the effect of climatype for Korean pine, which may be explained by the less number of climatypes of the species in the experiment.

Intra- and interspecies variability of pines: relationship with soil chemical properties in the long-term provenance experiment in the Western Sayans 9 Electronic science-productive magazine "AgroEcoInfo" ================================================= Thus such soil microbial properties as respiratory activity and absolute and relative microbial biomass nitrogen content, found to be the most susceptible to physiological and biochemical peculiarities of climatypes, pertain to organic matter mineralization and nitrogen immobilization. Earlier in experiments with another pine species, Pinus sylvestris L., we found the effect of climatypes on SMBC contribution into SOM and on SMB C/N ratio . [34], i.e. on soil microbial properties related to microbial utilization efficiency and availability of organic substrates. This difference in sets of parameters, responsive to the effect of intraspecies heterogeneity of trees, can partially result from the difference between species, as well as from the fact, that geographically and pedologically the experiment with the Scots pine was much broader, embracing three different locations in Western and Central Siberia and four different soils. Pine growth and soil microbiological properties Principal components analysis of the data matrix with tree growth and development parameters (tree height and its annual increment, trunk and crone diameters, and branching pattern) as variables for analysis and soil microbial properties as supplementary variables visualized the structure of relationships among the variables, on one hand, and tree climatypes and species, on the other hand (Fig. 1). Clear differentiation of pine species according to their growth and development parameters is positively correlated with soil microbial biomass C/N ratio and SIR. Judging by tree height, its annual increment, trunk and crone diameters, Korean pine, despite the non-native soil and climatic environment, has been growing much better as compared to Siberian pine [35], hence uptaking more nitrogen from soil, which results in its relatively less availability fоr microbial immobilization. The latter, it its turn, results in decreased metabolic activity [36] and increased microbial biomass C/N ratio. Additionally, pine phytomass also differs in its chemical composition, which may also affect microbial biomass C/N ratio. As for SIR, its negative correlation with tree growth and development parameters (Fig. 1), and therefore with plant litter and rhizodeposition, proves less availability of carbon substrates for microbial utilization in soil under Siberian pine, explaining the stated above more pronounced response of soil microorganisms to substrate addition (Tabs. 1, 2). The intraspecies variability of growth and development parameters of both pine species was related to soil basal respiration and respiratory quotient, i.e. the ratio of active to potentially active microorganisms: the taller the trees and the more intensively they grow, the higher the microbial metabolic activity in the soil underneath (Fig.1). And, vice versa, the shorter and less Makarikova R., Naumova N., Kuznetcova G.

Conclusions In the 30 years old artificial phytocoenoses the growth and development of pine trees was found to influence some soil microbiological properties. Bigger height and its annual increment, as well as trunk and crone diameters of Korean pine apparently led to increased input of its plant material on/into soil and, consequently, to more comfortable environment for soil microorganisms and their less pronounced response to the addition of easily available substrates to bulk soil. In the rhizosphere soil the interspecies pine heterogeneity affected soil microbial Makarikova R., Naumova N., Kuznetcova G. Intra- and interspecies variability of pines: relationship with soil 11 chemical properties in the long-term provenance experiment in the Western Sayans Electronic science-productive magazine "AgroEcoInfo" ================================================= biomass carbon and its contribution into soil organic carbon. As for the intraspecies pine heterogeneity, Siberian pine climatypes influenced soil microbial biomass nitrogen and its contribution into total soil nitrogen, whereas Korean pine climatypes affected soil basal respiration and respiratory quotient. The clear differentiation of the pine species according to their growth and development was positively correlated with soil microbial biomass C/N ratio and SIR, whereas tree growth and development of climatypes of both species were mostly related to soil basal respiration and absolute and relative microbial biomass content. Overall at the studied stage of phytocoenoses development the variability of soil microbiological properties due to the immediate effect of pine roots, significantly exceeds the variability caused by the inter- and intraspecies heterogeneity of pine physiology, biochemistry and productivity. Therefore the structure and development of plant root systems should be targeted specifically both in soil ecological studies and technological practices, involving woody plants.
