    No impact of nitrogen fertilization on carbon sequestration in a temperate Pinus densiflora forest

    SettingThis study was conducted in approximately 40-year-old naturally regenerated P. densiflora stands in Wola National Experimental Forest in Gyeongnam province in South Korea (35°12′ N, 128°10′ E; Table 1). The productivity of this forest is low, with a dominant tree height of 10 m at 20 years of age. Over the last 10 years, the mean annual precipitation was 1490 mm, of which one third fell during summer (July–August), and the mean temperature was 13.1 °C. The vegetation growing season generally lasts for approximately 200 days, extending from early April to October. The soil texture is a silt loam originating from sandstone and shale (clay 13.0 ± 0.8%, silt 44.1 ± 1.3%, sand 42.9 ± 1.6%; n = 18). The given texture results in volumetric water contents at 13.4 ± 0.7% (m3 m−3) at permanent wilting point (1500 kPa) and 40.7 ± 1.2% at field capacity (10 kPa)55. The understory is covered with Lespedeza spp., Quercus variabilis, Q. serrata, Smilax china, and Lindera glauca.In 2010, we selected two adjacent P. densiflora stands approximately 100 m apart from each other (180 m and 195 m above sea level, on slopes of 15° and 33°, both stands face south). Following a completely randomized design, we established nine plots (10 × 10 m2 with a 5 m untreated buffer) within each stand, of which three were randomly assigned to annual NPK fertilization, three to PK fertilization, and the rest to a control treatment without fertilization. The fertilizer, composed of urea, fused superphosphate and potassium chloride (N3P4K1) or P4K1 was added manually by deposition on the forest floor for 3 years in April 2011, April 2012, and March 2013. Over these 3 years, the NPK plots received 33.9 g N, 45 g P, and 11.1 g K m−2, while the PK plots received 45 g P and 11.1 g K m−2.Tree and stand measurementsThe standing biomass of trees was estimated using a combination of site-specific allometric equations based on destructive harvesting56 and repeated measurements of the dimensions of all trees in each plot (5–18 trees plot−1). The stem diameter at 1.2 m (D) was measured for all trees in each plot for which D was ≥ 6 cm. Selecting a representative tree in size for each plot within the 4 × 4 m2 center of the plot, we measured the tree height (H) and crown base for the representative trees. Measurements were performed in April and September 2011, September 2012–2014, and October 2021. We observed no effect of fertilization on the relationship between D and H or between D and crown base, so we assumed no effect on the allometric functions for foliage or branch biomass. A dendrometer band (Series 5 Manual Band, Forestry Suppliers Inc., Jackson, MS, USA) was installed on 18 representative trees (one per plot) to monitor radial growth monthly.Three 0.25 m2 circular litter traps were installed 60 cm above the forest floor in each plot in April 2011. Litter was collected at 3-month intervals between June 2011 and March 2015. The litter from each trap was transported to the laboratory and then oven-dried at 65 °C for 48 h. All dried samples were separated into needles, bark, cones, branches, and miscellaneous components, and weighed separately.In September 2014, we estimated the biomass of understory vegetation, separately for woody plants and herbaceous plants.

    Assessment of the variability of the morphological traits and differentiation of Cucurbita moschata in Cote d’Ivoire

    Description of the phenological, vegetative and yield traits of the accessions per habitatThe process of data management included the computation of mean squares for the assessed phenological, vegetative and yield traits of the accessions with the sampling habitats considered as the treatment factor. The error mean squares served in the multiple comparison of means reported in Table 1.Table 1 Means of the measured phonological, vegetative and flowering and yield traits of Cucurbita moschata genotypes sampled from seven habitats.Full size tableRegarding the phenological traits, the accessions from the habitat of Zh have the longest period from seeding to first male (102.39 d) and first female (108.14 d) flower appearances, and the longest period from seeding to physiological maturity (153.95 d). For those traits, the accessions from Tiassale and Soubre are not significantly different from those of Zh. And, accessions from Tiassale and Zh have the longest periods from seeding to 50% flowering. On the other hand, accessions from Korho, Ferke, Bondu and Burki develop their first male and female flowers and attain 50% flowering in a very short period. They also reach physiological maturity faster. Accessions from Korho, however, have the longest period from seeding to 50% emergence (6.07 d) and accessions from Bondu have the longest period from first female flower appearance to physiological maturity (53.04 d).
    For the vegetative traits, accessions from Tiassale and Soubre have the largest girth size (4.43 cm and 4.63 cm, respectively). Accessions from Tiassale have the longest (24.98 cm) and widest (19.94 cm) leaves, the longest male (16.2 cm) and female (4.03 cm) peduncles and the longest petioles (34.94 cm). The measures for those organs on accessions from Soubre rank second to those of Tiassale. On the other hand, accessions from Korho, Ferke, Bondu and Burki are characterized by smaller girth size, smaller leaves, smaller petioles and smaller peduncles of male and female flowers. But the accessions from Bondu are the tallest (586.91 cm) followed by the accessions from Ferke (489.20 cm). And the accessions from Zh are the shortest (417.38 cm).For the flowering and yield traits, accessions from Tiassale and Soubre show the largest numbers of male (27.33 units and 22.58 units, respectively) and female (5.22 units and 6.05 units, respectively) flowers per plant, largest numbers of fruits per plant (2.78 units and 2.53 units, respectively) and largest measures of all fruit-related traits. Their seeds are very large, but in small numbers. In contrast, accessions from Korho, Ferke, Bondu and Burki have the smallest numbers of male and female flowers per plant, the smallest numbers of fruits per plant and the smallest measures of fruit-related traits. They have large numbers of seeds, but their seeds are smaller, except the seeds of the accessions from Burki. Refer to Table 1 for more detailed information.
    Variability of the phenological, vegetative and yield traitsTable 2 shows the spread of the phenological and morphological traits of the assessed accessions of C. moschata. All the evaluated traits showed very wide ranges of distribution of the observations. Some conspicuously wide ranges of traits include number of days to 50% flowering (DTF) that goes from 52 to 152 d, plant height with a minimum of 48 cm and a maximum of 1510 cm, diameter of the fruit that is between 5.8 cm and 35 cm, weight of the fruit that varies between 150 g and 10,930 g and number of seeds per fruit that spreads in the interval from 32 units per fruit to 729 units per fruit. Excluding the number of days to 50% emergence (DTE), all the other assessed traits have remarkably wide ranges of phenotypic expressions (Table 2). All the traits but DTE, DTF, days from first female flower appearance to fruit maturity, fruit length and length of the dry seed, had outliers. The number of outliers ranged from 1 to 67. Except the outliers observed with the width of the dry seed, all the outliers were above 1.5*IQR + Q3 where IQR is the inter-quartile range and Q3 is the third quartile. The presence of outliers is indicative of the richness and large variability of the population of accessions. The outliers are exceptional performances that fall outside the normal distribution of the observations. They are a stock of unusual traits that can be used in a crop improvement program when beneficial. For example, the observed outliers for diameter of the fruit, weight of the fruit or thickness of the pulp can be used in a breeding program for the improvement of fruit yield. Similarly, outliers for beneficial traits related to the seed can be used to improve C. moschata crop for seed yield. Besides, the computed mean squares (data not reported) showed highly significant variations between accessions for the assessed traits. They all yielded p-values less than 0.01, providing additional support to the evidence of large variability among the accessions of C. moschata of Cote d’Ivoire. The computed standard deviation, and median absolute deviation for each trait are additional evidence. We should note that in most cases, the mean squares associated to year (data not reported) were not significant, indicating the relative stability of the assessed traits.Table 2 Minimum (Min), first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), maximum (Max), standard deviation (SD), median absolute deviation (MAD) and outliers obtained from the phenological, vegetative and flowering and yield traits of 663 accessions of C. moschata.Full size tableThe components of variance, the quantitative genetic differentiation, the overall mean, and the coefficients of variation are reported in Table 3. The lme4 package37 used in the determination of the components of variance, does not provide p-values in the analysis of mixed or random models. The reported quantities in Table 3 are not accompanied with tests of significance. It is worth mentioning that the respective units of measure of the assessed traits are squared for the variances and the evaluated estimates will be reported without the units of measure. The phenotypic variance ((sigma_{p}^{2})) is partitioned into variance between morphotypes or genotypic variance ((sigma_{g}^{2})), and within morphotypes or residual variance ((sigma_{e}^{2})). For the class of phenological traits, considerable genotypic variances were observed with days to 50% flowering (266.21) and days to first male flower appearance (254.40), compared with their respective residual variances (148.13 and 199.50). Regarding the class of vegetative traits, only the peduncle length of male flowers had a genotypic variance (9.22) greater than its residual variance (8.86). In the class of flowering and yield traits, 8 of the 15 traits assessed showed large genotypic variances in comparison with their respective residual variances. They are number of female flowers per plant ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 3.02 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 2.36), length of the fruit ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 53.96 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 48.97), diameter of the fruit ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 37.17 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 16.76), volume of the fruit ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 10,713,468 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 3,904,590), weight of the fruit ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 5,413,819 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 1,420,187), diameter of the cavity enclosing the seed ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 19.12 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 7.75), thickness of the fruit pulp ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 1.11 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 0.94) and weight of the fruit pulp ((sigma_{g}^{2}) = 5,979,212 versus (sigma_{e}^{2}) = 1,088,750). For a trait to have a lager genotypic variance than the residual variance is synonymous to a relative ease of improvement of the crop for that trait through a breeding program.Table 3 Components of variances ((sigma_{p}^{2}), (sigma_{g}^{2}), (sigma_{e}^{2}), (sigma_{a}^{2})), quantitative genetic differentiation ((Q_{ST})), overall mean ((mu)), and coefficients of variation (%) ((CV_{p}),(CV_{g}),(CV_{e})), of the measured phenological, vegetative and yield traits of the accessions of C. moschata of Cote d’Ivoire.Full size tableThe coefficient of variation (CV) is another statistic that measures variation. It is actually the dispersion of a trait per unit measure of its mean, which can be used to compare variations of traits with different measurement units or different scales. As a rule-of-thumb, a coefficient of variation greater than 20% is indicative of large variation for the trait. The phenotypic coefficient of variation is considerably high for 25 of the 28 assessed traits. Only the number of days from seeding to physiological maturity, the first and second longest axes of the dry seed show coefficients of variation less than 20%. Traits with very large phenotypic coefficients of variation include the peduncle length of female flowers ((CV_{p}) = 93.98%), weight of the pulp ((CV_{p}) = 92.96%), volume of the fruit ((CV_{p}) = 89.17%), weight of the fruit ((CV_{p}) = 78.30%) and number of female flowers per plant ((CV_{p}) = 65.81%). With respect to the residual coefficients of variation, only the number of days from seeding to 50% emergence and number of days from first female flower appearance to physiological maturity have residual coefficients of variation greater than 20%, among the phenological traits. All the vegetative traits have residual coefficients of variation greater than 20%, and show a near-perfect linear relation (r = 0.98; p  More
