  26. 5.1 Effect of reclamation on soil salinity • Soil salinity tend to decrease rapidly and reach a stable state in the top 100cm within 30 years after reclamation. • Among land use types, lower soil salt content in forest. • High coefficients of variation (CV)of soil salinity (0-100cm) in early period before fertilizer amendment and sowing. Yan Xu, LijiePu, et al.Journal of coastal research, 2013.9

  30. 5.2 Effect of reclamation on soil physico-chemical properties Tab.1 The descriptive statistics of soil physico-chemical properties in Rudong (0-20cm) • abc: The different lower-case letters indicate significant differences at the P<0.05 level among treatments • Soil bulk density reduced. • %silt and %clay increased, %sand decreased. • The trend of soil pH showed an increment followed by a decrease. • TN, TP, and OM increased gradually over time after reclamation and also reached a stable state after about 30 years for reclamation . Jianguo Li, LijiePu, et al.Soil & tillage research (Under review)

  31. 5.3 Effect of reclamation on soil organic carbon pools • Reclaimed activities could influence the carbon cycle in the wetlands, and even impact on the global carbon budget. • Along with the strengthening of reclaimed intensity, coastal wetlands have been destroyed in recent years. How did the SOC content change in coastal wetlands over time after reclamation? Which factors (including soil physico-chemical properties and crops) could affect SOC in the process of reclamation? Jianguo Li, LijiePu, et al.Soil & tillage research (Under review)

  32. Soil organic carbon density (SOCD) and soil organic carbon storage (SOCD(storage)) were calculated by the following formula: where SOCD is the soil organic carbon density (kg C/m2); Di is the soil bulk density of soil layer i (g cm-3); Ti is the thickness of soil layer I (m); SOC(storage) is the soil organic carbon storage; and Ai is the area of the study region. abc: Different lower-case letters indicate significant differences (P<0.05), at the same depth, among treatments. Fig.2 SOC in different soil layers, among different treatments (1951, 1974, 1982, 2007 and the salt marsh) in Rudong abc: Different lower-case letters indicate significant differences (P<0.05), at the depth of 0-60 cm, among land use types. 123: Different numbers indicate significant differences (P<0.05), at the depth of 0-20 cm, among land use types. Fig.3 Effect of land uses on SOCD in Rudong • SOC tends to increase in the top 60cm over time after reclamation • SOC in the top 10cm shows a rapidest increment • SOC is lower in Rudong than that in Yangtze estuary, Pearl estuary, and Europe, North America due to less organic matter source • In Rudong, SOC in the top 60cm of cotton lands and rice lands is higher than that the aquaculture pond and the salt marsh indicating that the aquaculture pond amendment is not an effective way to increase SOC

  33. Main factors affected SOC in reclamation area in Rudong Tab.3 The PCA of soil organic carbon • Tillage practices and management (eignvalue 1=27.2%) has the biggest influence on SOC, followed by soil texture and physico-chemical properties (eignvalue2=16.28%) in Rudong. Jianguo Li, LijiePu, et al.Soil & tillage research (Under review)

  34. Land Sea The SOC sequestration in coastal reclamation area in Rudong Area (ten thousand ha) Year Fig.5 The area of coastal reclaimed lands after 1951 in Jiangsu • SOCD increases gradually as distance increases away from the sea. Furthermore, SOCD tends to increase over time after reclamation. • Mean SOCD in the top 60cm is 2.165 kg m-2 in reclamation areas in Rudong. • A total of about 1.2Tg carbon has been sequestered in the top 60cm due to reclamation since 1951. Fig.4 The spatial pattern of SOCD in Rudong Jianguo Li, LijiePu, et al.Soil & tillage research (Under review)

  36. 5.4 Effect of reclamation on soil enzyme activity • Soil enzymes are relatively stable proteins possessing a powerfully catalytic function, making them biocatalysts whose activity can be used as an indicator of soil quality and biodiversity. • Five enzymes involved in nutrient and carbon cycling (Urease, Acid Phosphatase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Dehydrogenase, and Amylase) were assayed. • The effects of reclamation time and land use on soil enzyme activities(SEAs).

  37. SEAs in the top 20 cm of soil at all reclamation sites tended to increase gradually during the first 62 years after reclamation, with the exception of dehydrogenase and amylase activity. • The trend of SEA change in Rudongcontrasts with that of soil nutrients and salinity. • SEAs in the top 20 cm were lower in Rudong than that in tropical regions (e.g., India and Puerto Rico) and fresh-water wetlands. abcd: Different lower-case letters indicate significant differences among treatments at the P<0.05 level Figure 1 Variation in upper soil layer (0-20 cm) SEAs during the first 62 years after reclamation in Rudong Jianguo Li, LijiePu, et al. CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water (Under review)

  38. Reclamation of salt marsh for wheat and rape cultivation has significantly enhanced SEAs at a depth of 0-20 cm, especially in soils under the latter crop. ab: Different lower-case letters indicate significant differences among crops at the P<0.1 level Figure 2 The effect of wheat and rape on SEAs in Rudong (0-20 cm soil depth) Jianguo Li, LijiePu, et al. CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water (Under review)

  39. The activities of five enzymes gradually decrease down the soil profile from 0 to 50 cm depth, with extremely low levels observed in the bottom 10 cm. Jianguo Li, LijiePu, et al. CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water (Under review) Figure 3 Variation in SEAs in the top 50 cm of soil at the five study sites

  40. SOC, TP and TN are all significantly and positively related to SEAs in the top 20 cm, indicating that crop cultivation practices (fertilization, tillage regime, and rotation system) play an important role in promoting SEAs in Rudong.
