Effects of seasonal changes on the carbon dynamics in mixed coniferous forests.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the residual rate and mass loss rate of litter, as well as the carbon release dynamics of litter and soil across seasons, to better understand the effects of seasonal fluctuations on carbon dynamics in mixed coniferous forests. The study was carried out in natural mixed coniferous forests in the Xiaoxinganling region of Heilongjiang Province, China, and the number of temperature cycles in the unfrozen season, freeze-thaw season, frozen season, and thaw season was controlled. The goal of the study was to examine how the carbon release dynamics of litter and soil respond to the freeze-thaw process and whether there are differences in carbon release dynamics under different seasons. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the residual mass rate and mass loss
