Effect of Forest Thinning on Soil Phosphorus Stocks and Dynamics on a Global Scale
As an important part of terrestrial ecosystems, the forest soil nutrient content is easily affected by thinning. However, the effects of thinning on soil phosphorus (P) stocks and dynamics have not yet been systematically analyzed. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of thinning on the soil P stock and rate of soil P stock change in the 0–30, 30–60, and 0–60 cm soil layers by integrating 237 data points on a global scale. In addition, we aimed to determine whether these factors are regulated by forest type, recovery time, and thinning intensity. The results indicated that thinning increased the soil P stock in the 0–30, 30–60, and 0–60 cm soil layers by 9.0, 13.2, and 10.2%, respectively, and the soil P stock change rates were 0.017, 0.013, and 0.025 Mg ha−1 yr−1, respectively. Furthermore, the promoting effect of thinning on soil P stocks was greater in coniferous forests than in broadleaf and mixed forests. In addition, the stocks and change rates of soil P increased with recovery time and decreased with thinning intensity and mean annual precipitation. This study highlights the effects of thinning on forest soil P accumulation on a global scale. The results are of great significance for understanding soil nutrient cycling and sustainable forest management.
