- W4322003032 abstract "Earthworms may act as double-edged swords for soil organic matter (SOM). While they can enhance organic matter (OM) mineralization via increased microbial activity they can also elevate OM stabilization in aggregates as particulate or mineral-associated OM. In this study, we will test this potentially opposing impact in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests on limestone, a forest ecosystem with particularly high earthworm activity. A specific focus will be on OM transformation along the continuum from the forest floor (O horizons) to mineral soil (A horizons). The forest floor can represent a substantial OM-pool which is an important source for SOM formation via bioturbation or leaching but can be vulnerable to alterations due to climate change. In an extended lab mesocosm experiment, we will incubate local earthworm species in soil columns consisting of O and A horizons from four beech forest sites along an elevation gradient from 550 to 1250 m in the Swiss Jura Mountain range. Along this gradient, the dominating forest floor type is mull with its thickness increasing with altitude. We will establish the following three treatments (1) control with soil and unlabeled litter, (2) with soil and labeled litter and (3) with soil, labeled litter, and earthworms. For this setup, the Ol horizon will be replaced with beech litter highly enriched with 13C, 15N, and 2H. Soil respiration (CO2) and leaching (C, N, and H in dissolved OM) will be repeatedly measured. Our setup will allow for a separation of fluxes from the O horizons and the A Horizon. After approximately 4, 7, and 10 months each, a subset of mesocosms will be harvested to investigate isotope enrichment in earthworm biomass, earthworm casts, physical soil fractions, PLFAs, and microbial necromass. This will allow us to establish a mass balance of beech litter turnover as affected by earthworms for a time scale representative of one vegetation period. Fluxes of unlabeled OM will inform on the fate of inherent SOM. We expect that (1) following an initial colonization phase, earthworms will stimulate labeled litter mineralization and enhance litter transfer to aggregate fractions while not affecting the total SOM stock. (2) In the long term, less of the labeled material will be mineralized and more SOM stabilized in aggregate fractions will be recycled." @default.
