© 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. Aims: The different root systems of Pinus thunbergii observed after the tsunami in 2011 were possibly influenced by different groundwater levels before the tsunami. The aims of this study were to quantify the tap and horizontal root structure and evaluate their relationship with the above-ground parts under different groundwater levels in a coastal P. thunbergii forest. Methods: Two plots, sea- and land-side, with different groundwater levels, in a P. thunbergii stand, were established, and the entire root-systems of three select trees each were harvested to evaluate the biomass, lengths, and cross-sectional areas of the tap and horizontal roots. Results: In the sea-side plot, which had a shallower groundwater level, plate root systems with thicker and longer horizontal roots, but fewer tap roots were observed, whereas tap root systems were well developed in the land-side plots, where the groundwater level was deeper. The root-to- shoot ratio was significantly higher in the sea-side plot than in the land-side plot. Conclusion: We confirmed that quantitative contrasting root systems of P. thunbergii develop under different groundwater levels and higher biomass allocation to horizontal roots occur under shallower groundwater depths, emphasizing the need for management practices that promote the development of tap root systems to enhance resistance to tsunamis.

Soils have an important role as a reservoir of essential elements for forest ecosystems. Although previous chronosequence studies have determined accumulation rates of several elements in soils, they have not focused on sulfur (S), a secondary macronutrient. We investigated S accumulation rates in five volcanic soils, dated by the use of tephras from the following volcanoes: Mt. Komagatake (tephra Ko-a, 1929 CE), Mt. Tarumae (tephra Ta-a, 1739 CE), Mt. Fuji (tephra F-Ho, 1707 CE), Towada caldera (tephra To-a, 915 CE), and Mt. Haruna (tephra Hr-FP520, 520 CE). The soils were sampled from A horizons formed above the tephra layer, and total S and pedogenic minerals (Ald, Fed, Alo, and Feo) were analyzed to determine the relationships between their estimated pools and soil age. The fractionation of S by oxidation state was determined by S K-edge XANES analysis in constituents of soils from Mt. Komagatake and Mt. Haruna. Our results showed that the S accumulation rate was almost constant over the last millennium. To extend our analysis to longer soil formation times, we extrapolated the S accumulation–age relationship to 10 cal. ka and compared the resulting values with previously reported S data from horizons that likely developed during that time period in soils from Mt. Nantai dated by tephra Nt-S (14–15 cal. ka). The similarity of the extrapolated values to the Nantai soil values suggests that the S accumulation rate may have been constant since 10 cal. ka. In addition, the growth of the S pool with soil age was linearly proportional to the growth of pedogenic mineral pools. Sulfur isotope composition of soil total S depended not on soil age, but rather on the soil origin as indicated by location. The predominant oxidation state of the S fraction changed from reduced to oxidized with soil age during the Holocene. These results suggest that the constant S accumulation rate may reflect the variable influence of exogenous S sources as well as the association of S compounds with pedogenic minerals. Sulfur compounds may accumulate at a constant rate in Japanese volcanic soils as the result of biological transformation followed by retention of S in association with the pedogenic minerals.

PLANT AND SOIL Vol. 423 ( 1-2 ) page： 215 - 227 2018.2

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：SPRINGER

Fine root respiration (R (r) ) is closely linked with fine root morphology, especially with specific root length (SRL), in short-term measurements in some tree species. However, whether these relationships are also valid across different stands and seasons is not yet known. This study aimed to investigate these relationships in the fine roots of Chamaecyparis obtusa.The R (r) , mean root diameter, and SRL of fine root segments of two C. obtusa stands were determined every three months over two years.We detected significant positive correlations between R (r) and SRL of fine root segments across the stands over two years. The relationship of R (r) with SRL was stronger than that with the mean diameter of fine roots. The slopes and intercepts for the R (r) and SRL relationships did not differ among stands and measurement times. Further, we proposed a simple approach for estimating CO2 flux from fine roots at the stand level based on SRL and confirmed that the ranges of estimated CO2 values were comparable with those of values reported using the conventional approach.The fine root morphology typified by SRL is a key variable in R (r) of fine roots and CO2 flux at the stand level.

Calcium (Ca) is a key cation in the soil acidification process and in the fertility of forest soils. We investigated total concentrations of Ca, magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K) in both soil and fresh leaf litter in eight plantation stands of Cryptomeria japonica divided into two groups of highly contrasting soil acid buffering capacity (ABC). In addition to conventional methods, we used a double-crystal high resolution X-ray fluorescence (HRXRF) spectrometer to determine Ca fractions in soils with low and high ABC. Total Ca had accumulated in the 0-10 cm depth horizons of the high-ABC soils, but not in the low-ABC soils. The exchangeable Ca concentration was correlated with total Ca concentration in the 0-10 cm depth of the low-ABC soils. Calcium-K alpha(1,2) emission spectra of the 0-10 cm soils obtained by HRXRF spectrometry separated the total Ca into two fractions, suggesting that the predominant Ca constituents had either passed through biological processes or were derived from weathering hydration in both the high- and low-ABC soils. Calcium concentration in the fresh leaf litter was significantly lower in the stands with low-ABC soil than in those with high-ABC soil and was positively correlated with soil exchangeable Ca concentration in the low-ABC stands; no such correlation was observed in the high-ABC stands. Exchangeable Ca pools in the 0-10 cm depth range were equal to or less than the annual input of Ca via leaf litterfall in the low-ABC stands, but were seven times the annual input in the high-ABC soils. These results suggested that the accumulation of Ca in the upper soil occurs via the process of Ca circulation within C. japonica ecosystems, and that sufficient supply of Ca for tree needs was accompanied by the large accumulation of available Ca by C. japonica in the high-ABC soils. Nevertheless, it is likely that only small amounts of Ca were circulated in the stands on low-ABC soil. The lack of Ca accumulation in the surface soil and the accompanying tight circulation of Ca in the plant-soil system may explain the observed positive feedback in which ABC is gradually reduced in low-ABC soils.

PLANT AND SOIL Vol. 416 ( 1-2 ) page： 503 - 513 2017.7

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：SPRINGER

We aimed to clarify the intraspecific variation in the morphological traits of branch orders under different soil conditions in Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl.
We investigated the morphological traits of branch orders, based on 16,351 individual roots that were dissected from 12 intact fine root systems, up to a diameter of 2 mm at three C. obtusa stands. We also measured the concentrations of soil carbon, nitrogen, and inorganic nitrogen.
The intact fine root systems up to the diameter of 2 mm had branched into between five and seven orders. The diameter of first- to fourth-order roots and the lengths of second- and third-order roots were significantly different among the three stands. The morphological traits of lower order (first to third) roots correlated with soil inorganic nitrogen concentrations, but higher order (fourth to sixth) roots correlated with soil carbon concentrations.
We clarified the possible ranges of intraspecific variation in the morphological traits of root branch orders within C. obtusa. Both the lower and higher orders of the intact fine root systems were tightly related to the surrounding soil conditions.

Calculation procedures to estimate fine root production rates in forests using two-dimensional fine root data obtained by the net sheet method Reviewed

Several recent studies have used the net sheet method to estimate fine root production rates in forest ecosystems, wherein net sheets are inserted into the soil and fine roots growing through them are observed. Although this method has advantages in terms of its easy handling and low cost, there are uncertainties in the estimates per unit soil volume or unit stand area, because the net sheet is a two-dimensional material. Therefore, this study aimed to establish calculation procedures for estimating fine root production rates from two-dimensional fine root data on net sheets. This study was conducted in a hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa (Sieb. & Zucc.) Endl.) stand in western Japan. We estimated fine root production rates in length and volume from the number (RN) and cross-sectional area (RCSA) densities, respectively, for fine roots crossing the net sheets, which were then converted to dry mass values. For these calculations, we used empirical regression equations or theoretical equations between the RN or RCSA densities on the vertical walls of soil pits and fine root densities in length or volume, respectively, in the soil, wherein the theoretical equations assumed random orientation of the growing fine roots. The estimates of mean fine root (diameter <1 mm) production rates were similar to 80-100 gm(-2) year(-1) using the empirically obtained regression equations, whereas those from the theoretical equations were similar to 40-50 gm(-2) year(-1). The difference in the estimates was attributed to larger slope values of the empirical regression equations than those of the theoretical equations, suggesting that fine root orientation was not random in our study site. In light of these results, we concluded that fine root production rates were successfully estimated from two-dimensional fine root data on the net sheets using these calculation procedures, with the empirical regression equations reflecting fine root orientation in the study site.

Biomass and morphology of fine roots in eight Cryptomeria japonica stands in soils with different acid-buffering capacities Reviewed

Yasuhiro Hirano, Toko Tanikawa, Naoki Makita

Cryptomeria japonica, which is one of the main silvicultural species in Japan, accumulates calcium (Ca) in soils with high acid buffering capacity (ABC) but has depleted Ca in soils with low-ABC over the past two decades. However, the contribution of fine roots in C japonica to the accumulation or depletion of Ca in soils with different ABCs has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to clarify the responses of C. japonica fine roots in terms of biomass and morphology in eight plantation stands to soils with two contrasting ABCs, which have different trends of soil acidification. We evaluated the biomass and specific root length (SRL) of fine roots divided into three diameter classes (<0.5, 0.5-1.0, and 1.0-2.0 mm), obtained from the organic layer and two mineral soil layers from 0 to 10 and 10 to 20 cm depths, in soils with high- and low-ABCs. We also investigated root traits of seedlings grown in soil monoliths in-situ in a greenhouse condition to compare the response of mature trees in stands. The biomass of fine roots (<2.0 mm) in mature C japonica was significantly higher and the SRL was significantly lower in low ABC soils than in high-ABC soils. In the organic layer, the biomass of very fine roots (<0.5 mm) at the organic soil layer in low ABC soils was higher than that in high ABC soils. However, the SRL and the dry weight of the seedlings in the greenhouse condition showed no differences between the soils with two contrasting ABCs. We concluded that fine roots of C japonica stands could have changed and contributed differently to soils with contrasting ABCs. The conflicting root responses of mature trees in stand and seedlings under controlled conditions suggest that careful caution should be taken to extrapolate in situ mature trees from the results of seedlings, particularly when evaluating the effects of soil degradation such as soil acidifications on sustainable C. japonica plantation forests.
