| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify seasonal variation in carbon flux from live root to pedosphere (root exudation) and contribution of it net primary production (NPP), root exudation rate was measured from 2016 to 2017 in two types of forests; dominated by Quercus serrata (deciduous broad-leaved tree; Q forest) and Pinus densiflora (evergreen conifer tree; P forest). Using a new method developed by us, averaged exudation was measured at 0.49 and 1.09 mg C g fine root-1 day-1 in the Q and P forest, respectively. It in Q forest showed significant seasonal variation with high value in summer season, although that in P forest showed no clear seasonal variation. Annual exudation was estimated at 30 and 61 gC m-2 year-1, which contributed to NPP at 2.6 and 9.6%, in Q and P forest, respectively. These results suggest that the root exudation rate vary based on tree functional type, and is important factor to evaluate the carbon balance of forest ecosystem.
