Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To reveal the dynamics of soil organic matter, we conducted the study of ecosystem ecology and soil organic chemistry in a mangrove forest on an estuary of the Fukido River, Ishigaki Island, southern Japan. Almost aboveground fine litter flowed away from the mangrove forest due to the ebb tide, but belowground fine litter (necromass of fine root) was higher in the deep soil. Heterotrophic respiration is rather high because of CO2 fluxes from water surface at high tide and CWD decomposition at low tide. Concentrations of humic substances (HS) in the headwaters of Fukido River are higher than other river water, and HS was absorbed by mangrove soil due to high salinity. These data suggested that high fine root production/decomposition and DOC (HS) input from terrestrial evergreen forest through the river is important for soil accumulation in mangrove forests.
