Abstract

Soils store more carbon (C) in soil organic matter (SOM) and in carbonates than the vegetation C and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)-C combined. Specifically, forest soils are a major C store. For example, about 8% of the global soil C is stored in soils of temperate forests to 3-m depth. However, data on soil C storage in urban forests are scanty. In the U.S., about 10% of the terrestrial C storage is located in human settlements, of which 64% is stored in soils. Further, soils under urban forests in the U.S.store about three-times as much C to 1-m depth as is stored in the tree biomass. In Ohio, about 35 megagram (1 Mg = 106 g) C ha−1 are stored in urban trees but there are few if any available reports on urban forest soil C storage. Ohio is a rapidly urbanizing state and farmland is increasingly converted into urban land uses. However, urbanization is also accompanied by planting of trees and the establishment of urban forests. Thus, a study was conducted to assess soil C storage to 1-m depth in two urban forests in Columbus, Ohio: Clinton-Como Park (CP) and Driving Park (DP). Both forests were disturbed by recreational activities. In addition, CP sited at the east bank of the Olentangy river is also disturbed by flooding and prior levee construction activities. The DP is sited on a former race track, and is also disturbed by previous railway dam construction activities and municipal solid waste disposal. Ten soil samples were ­randomly obtained per site, and analyzed for bulk density, and total C and notrgen (N) concentrations for ­computation of the soil C pool. Differences in C concentrations to 1-m depth among site were small but higher to 30-cm depth than those reported under urban tree cover in Colorado, USA (>1.60% C). Further, N concentrations in sub-soil horizons were higher at CP than at DP (0.13% N vs. 0.7–0.9% N below 70-cm depth at CP and DP, respectively). Soil N concentrations in upper soil horizons at both urban forests were higher than those in Baltimore, MD, and Colorado. Similar amounts of C were stored in both soils in Columbus to 1-m depth (211 and 163 Mg C ha−1 at CP and DP, respectively). Thus, soil C pools in urban forests were higher than those to 1-m depth reported for wooded areas in New York City, NY (97–145 Mg C ha−1). However, the soils from Columbus must also to be analyzed for inorganic C and coal C to estimate the net soil organic carbon (SOC) pool. Estimates of the net SOC pool will allow the comparison with estimates for non-urban forests soils in Ohio and urban soils in the U.S., and of the assessment of the C sequestration potential in soils under urban ecosystems in Ohio.
