| Abstract | Unique hydrological characteristics and complex topography can create wide-ranging dry season environmental heterogeneity in response to groundwater level across China's Jiangxi Province Poyang Lake wetland. Soil traits are one of several fluctuating environmental variables. To determine the effects of soil variables on stable isotope (delta C-13 and delta N-15) abundances during decomposition, we performed a field experiment using Carex cineruscens along a groundwater level gradient (GT-L: 25 to 50 cm, GT-LM: 15 to 25 cm, GT-MH: 5 to 15 cm, GT-H: 5 to 5 cm) in a shallow lake. Twelve soil properties including total organic carbon (TOC), nitrogen (N), pH, moisture, bulk density, clay, silt, sand, peroxidase, cellulase, microbial biomass carbon (MBC), and microbial biomass nitrogen were measured in surface soil samples to assess soil environmental conditions. Analyses were performed to determine the effects of soil traits and lignin degradation on changes in stable isotope abundances. This study revealed that stable isotope abundances were significantly lower at high groundwater levels than at low groundwater levels. Lignin degradation was associated with a decrease in both delta C-13 and delta N-15 abundances. These two stable isotopes were positively related with soil N and bulk density, but negatively with pH and microbial quotient (MBC/TOC). Variation partitioning analysis (VPA) showed that soil variables and lignin decay rates explained 80.1% of the rinC variation and 42.8% of the "615N variation. Soil chemical and biological variables exhibited significant interactions with lignin decay rates, indicating they may affect stable isotope abundances via complex mechanisms. Our results indicate that the change in stable isotope abundances during decomposition may be affected directly by soil variables or indirectly through lignin degradation. Our results provide useful insight for understanding the roles litter decomposition and soil traits in changing environmental conditions of seasonal floodplain wetlands. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
