| Abstract | Larch (Larix spp.) is widely distributed in the boreal and temperate areas. Nitrogen (N) is considered as the major limiting element for these areas. Thinning is a common forest management practice. Thus, it is imperative to obtain a better understanding on how thinning could affect N status of larch plantations, and thus optimize the thinning intensity for sustainable forest management. In this study, we measured N concentrations and N-15 natural abundance (delta N-15) of needles and surface soil (0-10 cm) in a larch plantation with T0, T25 and T50 treatments (0%, 25% and 50% thinning intensities, respectively) in Northeast China. We found that needle and soil delta N-15 in T25 was the lowest, and the highest in T50. No significant differences were observed for needle and soil N concentrations among the thinning intensities. T25 exhibited the highest N resorption efficiency, indicating highest N use efficiency. Overall, N cycling in T25 was more closed than the control, and with lower soil N availability, while N cycling in T50 was more opened. Our study indicates that foliar N-15 natural abundance is sensitive to thinning and can be potentially used to optimize thinning intensity from the perspective of N cycling. |
