Abstract: Forest soils and the nutrients within it are impacted by spatial activities. The concentration of soil organic carbon (SOC) was evaluated in different forest management location sites in relation to the environmental condition and management status of each forest site. Three distinct forest soils were collected in three locations (0-25 and 25-50cm profiles) of different forest management regimes in Guangdong Province, China. SOC concentrations, as well as physical and chemical soil properties were measured in the laboratory in relation to industrial, urban and protected forest locations. SOC concentration was highest at the Deqing forest site (30.24±1.35 and 26.65± 2.49) as a state regulated management system than in the industrial and urban sites. SOC was significantly highest in the Deqing site (48 g/kg). Duncan's test of SOC density revealed a critical statistical difference between Deqing and the other sites. Soil metal concentrations at the Dongguan industrial!
site showed significant differences in high amount of copper, lead and cadmium (15.1±2.67, 42.30±4.91 and 35.09±5.89). SOM concentration evaluated as sequestration parameter at the Deqing site (47g/kg) was statistically different from the others. Pearson's correlation and multiple comparison analysis on chemical and physical properties indicated critical differences (0.01 level) between the Deqing site (SOC, SOM, TotN, AvK) and the Guangzhou site (SOM, TotN, Avk and AvP) compared to the Dongguan site. The Deqing and Guangzhou forest sites showed attributes of better forest management systems. We strongly recommend an active effluent discharge policy, a Nutrient sensitive zones policy, a land Use policy, a Compulsory industrial implementation best management practices policy; and an Implementation and mitigation option policy.
