Description

To estimate the values and parameters of decomposition in major ecosystem types in Mukhrino field station, a series of experiments had been initiated since 2016. Occasional studies on decomposition of peat and Sphagnum spp. were performed earlier by the Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry (Novosibirsk) (Kosykh et al., 2017a; 2017b). The classical approach of litter bags was used to estimate weight lost, including standard litter type (tea) and native litters in natural as well as in experimental warming conditions (temperature raise by Open Top Chambers). The standard tea substrate was used to compare habitat effect and as part of the global projects on decomposition dynamics, where two different tea types are used to estimate decomposition constant from only one extraction point (Keuskamp et al., 2013; Djukic et al., 2018; MacDonald et al., 2018). To estimate the natural values of decomposition, eleven types of native substrates were chosen.

The measurements were filled in the table formatted by Darwin Core standard for biological diversity data and available openly in GBIF (Filippova, 2021) (the dataset is updated after each new year of measurements).

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The decomposition of native litters is studied in three plots, located in major vegetation types: treed Pine-dwarfshrubs-sphagnum bog (ryam), graminoid-Sphagnum bog (lawn) and coniferous forest. Each plot is represented by two replicas to cover special variation. Each replica contains four bags of a particular litter types buried for a particular period. To study long-term dynamics of litter decomposition, series of bags were located for 1-4 and 10 years of decomposition. The series of bags for 1-4 year of decomposition are buried each year since 2016. The decomposition of standard (tea) substrate is studied in the same plots as native substrates. To supplement the variety of vegetation, another three plots were located in deciduous forest types after clear-cut: 10 years and 40 years after the clearing, and in the nearby old-growth coniferous forest. To study long-term dynamics of standard substrate, a series of bags for 1-4 years of decomposition was located only once in 2016. Since 2017, the tea is buried only for short decomposition period (3 months) (Table ). To study inter-annual dynamics, a new series of bags for 1-4 years of decomposition is prepared each autumn since 2016 (totally 5 installations were made by 2021) and will be continued in the future.

Sampling

The decomposition experiment of standard litter (tea) was performed according to (Keuskamp et al., 2013). A batch of calibrated tea was used (bought from Sweden) to standardize the substrate across the global experiment span. c. The extraction was made about 3 month later, in the beginning of September with the onset of first frosts. Besides, one series of long-term decomposition bags of standard tea (3 months, 1, 2, 3, 4 years) was installed once in 2016. The decomposition experiment of native litters was made according to instructions in (Keuskamp et al., 2013) for native litter bags preparation. The leaves of native plants were collected in Autumn after beginning of leaf fall, dried and sewed into nylon bags 10 x 10 cm (mesh size about 0.2 mm), labeled and buried in the upper 0-5 soil horizon. After the incubation period, litter bags of native and standard types were excavated from the soil, cleaned from attached soil and roots and dried. The substrates were cleaned from roots with the help of lens, when possible (when difficult to clean, this was marked in the database).

Method steps

  1. The leaves of native plants were collected in Autumn after beginning of leaf fall, dried and sewed into nylon bags 10 x 10 cm (mesh size about 0.2 mm), labeled and buried in the upper 0-5 soil horizon.
  2. The tea of both types was weighted and buried in the beginning of vegetation season (end of May)

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The plots were located in vicinity of Mukhrino field station of YSU and Shapsha village, all in 20 km radius from Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia.
