Variation in the aboveground stand structure and fine-root biomass of Bornean heath (kerangas) forests in relation to altitude and soil nitrogen availability

Key message Borneo’s tropical heath (kerangas) forest has limited soil nutrient availability, and high variation in aboveground structure and fine-root biomass. This variation depends on altitude and soil nitrogen availability. To elucidate the biotic and abiotic factors affecting the variation in f...

This variation depends on altitude and soil nitrogen availability. To elucidate the biotic and abiotic factors affecting the variation in fine-root biomass (FRB, &lt;2 mm diameter) of trees growing under nutrient-poor environments in Sabah, North Borneo, we investigated FRB in different forests with varying soil nitrogen (N) availability. We selected two study sites at different altitudes: the Maliau Basin (ca. 1000 m asl) and Nabawan (ca. 500 m asl). Both sites included tropical heath (kerangas) forest, on infertile soils (podzols) with a surface organic horizon overlying a bleached (eluviated) mineral horizon, and taller forests on more fertile non-podzolic soils. FRB was obtained from each plot by soil coring (to a depth of 15 cm). FRB increased with decreasing soil inorganic N content (NH 4 –N and NO 3 –N), tree height, and aboveground biomass. Thus, higher proportions of carbon resources were allocated to fine-roots in stands with lower N availability. FRB was significantly greater at the Maliau Basin than at Nabawan, reflecting lower soil N availability at higher altitude. Our results demonstrate high variation in FRB among the heath forests, and suggest that fine-root development is more prominent under a cooler climate where N availability limits tree growth owing to slower decomposition. The variation in N availability under the same climate (i.e., at the same altitude) appears to be related to the extent of soil podzolization.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0931-1890</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1432-2285</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00468-015-1210-7</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg</publisher><subject>Abiotic factors ; Agriculture ; Altitude ; Biomass ; Biomedical and Life Sciences ; Forestry ; Forests ; Life Sciences ; Nitrogen ; Nutrient availability ; Original Paper ; Plant Anatomy/Development ; Plant Pathology ; Plant Physiology ; Plant Sciences ; Podzols ; Root development ; Roots ; Soil fertility ; Soil nutrients ; Soils</subject><ispartof>Trees (Berlin, West), 2016-04, Vol.30 (2), p.385-394</ispartof><rights>Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015</rights><rights>Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2016</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c382t-af5bf9febdf1bea48f8a1c8a5f97beb8801f9f944f328b1ca7c7682a581e68173</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c382t-af5bf9febdf1bea48f8a1c8a5f97beb8801f9f944f328b1ca7c7682a581e68173</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00468-015-1210-7$$EPDF$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/s00468-015-1210-7$$EHTML$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,27901,27902,41464,42533,51294</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Miyamoto, Kazuki</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Wagai, Rota</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Aiba, Shin-ichiro</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Nilus, Reuben</creatorcontrib><title>Variation in the aboveground stand structure and fine-root biomass of Bornean heath (kerangas) forests in relation to altitude and soil nitrogen availability</title><title>Trees (Berlin, West)</title><addtitle>Trees</addtitle><description>Key message Borneo’s tropical heath (kerangas) forest has limited soil nutrient availability, and high variation in aboveground structure and fine-root biomass.
