Forest ecosystems store a significant amount of C as lignin and other relatively resistant C compounds. Also forest soils are keeping organic carbon as organic material. It is important to keep the atmospheric CO2 in the plant tissue for long term sequestration. The forest C is sequestered not only in the harvestable timber and other branched. Since there is a relationship between atmospheric CO2 and climate change, more work is done on C fixation through photosynthesis to keep more carbon in the soil.
We conducted a long term eucalyptus (E. camaldulensis) forest and soil management experiment which was carried out on three age groups 5, 7 and 10 years old eucalyptus plantation. There were three different treatments such as shaved and ploughed, shaved and without plowing, and without shaving control treatments.
During three years Three year soil, plant, and residue sample were collected. Soil mycorrhizae spore, carbon, nitrogen, potassium, iron, copper, manganese and zinc concentration were determined. Also soil and plant carbon fixation was determined. Also during 20 mounts soil microbial activity and CO2 flux were determined.
The resulted are showing that 10 years old three plants have more biomass and fixed more carbon. The soil organic carbon (SOC) stock was calculated for each ages and management systems. Soils have collected at 5 years old eucalyptus plantation have total 40.46 ton ha-1 SOC, and respectively to 7 and 10 years old plantations they have accumulated 56.04 and 82.66 ton ha-1 SOC. SOC through the soil profile decreased, which is depending on root development. Also mycorrhiza spores decreased with soil depth through the soil profile.
