Abstract： Soil nitrogen mineralization is a key process of soil nitrogen cycle, and temperature is one of the most important factors affecting soil nitrogen mineralization. Studying the effect of temperature on soil nitrogen mineralization characteristics in different successional stages is of great significance for understanding soil nitrogen cycle in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, the communities in different successional stages of Xinglong Mountain in Gansu Province were taken as the research object. The indoor constant temperature aerobic culture method was used to study the soil nitrogen mineralization characteristics of five successional stages (grassland, shrub forest, Betula platyphylla forest, Picea wilsonii-Betula platyphylla forest and Picea wilsonii forest) under different temperatures (15 ℃, 25 ℃, 35 ℃). The results showed that: (1) Except for the 0~20 cm soil depth of grassland, the soil nitrogen mineralization rate of the other successional stages increased with the increase of temperature (15~35 ℃), and the cumulative mineralization of soil nitrogen in different successional stages increased with the increase of temperature. (2) With the positive advancement of succession, the soil nitrogen mineralization rate and cumulative mineralization amount of different successional stages showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The soil nitrogen mineralization rate of Betula platyphylla forest was the highest, which was 1.63 times, 1.61 times, 1.25 times and 1.47 times that of grassland, shrub forest, Picea wilsonii-Betula platyphylla forest and Picea wilsonii forest, respectively. The soil nitrogen mineralization rate and cumulative mineralization amount of Picea wilsonii-Betula platyphylla forest were the highest, which were 0.68 times, 0.72 times, 0.84 times and 0.97 times of those of grassland, shrub forest, Betula platyphylla forest and Picea wilsonii forest, respectively. (3) With the increase of soil depth, the soil nitrogen mineralization rate and cumulative mineralization showed a decreasing trend, with the maximum in the 0~20 cm soil depth. (4) There were significant differences in the temperature sensitivity coefficient Q10 at 15 ℃ and 25 ℃ in different successional stages (P<0.05). With the positive succession, the temperature sensitivity coefficient Q10 decreased first and then increased. There was no significant difference in the temperature sensitivity coefficient Q10 between the communities at different succession stages at 25 ℃ and 35 ℃ (P>0.05). The results of this study will provide a theoretical basis for the evolution of soil quality and the dynamic change of soil nitrogen supply capacity in the community.
