Abstract:
Leaflitter of 6-year-old,12-year-old,20-year-old and 28-yea-old rubber plantations was used to studied the decomposition progress in one year under different control measures by mesh bag method. The results as following: leaflitter in 007mm and 10mm mesh bags was in a same decomposition dynamic, which was increased first and then drop, and the litter residues rates at the end of year were 3684 % and 3209 %, respectively. Leaflitter decomposition rates not only by the position of the buried layer influence, but also with soil fertilityrelated. After 240d, litter residues of ground plane (0cm), comparison hole (0-30cm) and fertile hole (0-30cm) not included roots removed were 3209%, 740% and 3458%, respectively. Litter decomposition of rubber was reflected by soil fertility mainly focus on the late stage of decomposition. To 240d, residues of litter in comparison hole and fertile hole (the average value of the group of roots reserved and roots removed) were 846% and 3562%, respectively. The difference of litter decomposition rates of 6yearold,12yearold,20and 28yearold rubber plantations were little at early stage but significant at late stage. To 240d, residues of litter were 294%, 705%, 1462% and 218%, respectively. Although rubber roots promoted litter decomposition at early stage, and convert to inhibition at the late stage, no significant influence was detected about rubber roots on litter decomposition at all stages.
