Abstract
Organic matter decomposition is a key process in the carbon cycle that controls the rate of carbon dioxide emission, carbon accumulation in the soil, and the availability of mineral elements for plants. Changes in the forest stand's composition during secondary succession result in changes in the quality of litter, which affects the rate and depth of its transformation. We analysed how the chemical structure of the L-horizons of litter changes from October to August at different stages of secondary succession in typical forest ecosystems of Western Siberia's middle taiga using IR spectrometry and elemental analysis. It turned out that the structure of organic matter in the L-horizons was transformed to the largest degree at intermediate stages of succession (in an aspen forest with a dark coniferous second storey), while at previous (monodominant aspen forests) and subsequent successional stages (mixed and dark coniferous forests), changes were less pronounced. These changes include a decrease in the proportion of relatively easily decomposable components (cellulose and carbohydrates) and accumulation of aromatic compounds and polyesters that are more recalcitrant to decomposition. Aspen forest with the dark coniferous second storey and dark coniferous forest turned out to be the objects with the highest difference in terms of changes in the litter's elemental composition: the ratio of total carbon to nitrogen over the period from October to August increased the least in the former and the most in the latter. This combination of IR spectrometry and elemental analysis results can be explained by differences in the efficiencies of depolymerisation of nitrogen-containing compounds in litter. In general, the obtained results show that litter transformation during decomposition does not always depend only on its initial quality, even in closely located ecosystems where physical conditions are virtually identical. The functioning of the microbial community may be the cause of these differences in transformation at different stages of succession.
