In a terrestrial ecosystem, the aboveground and belowground systems depend on each other
for resource supply (nutrient and organic matter). Soil microfauna (protozoa, nematode, etc.) is
considered to play an important role in nitrogen (N) mineralization process by releasing microbial
N. Aboveground herbivory or defoliation on some grass species has found to enhance labile
organic carbon (C) supply from roots and N mineralization in rhizosphere soil in the short term
possibly due to the activation of soil microorganisms and microfauna. To reveal the relationships
between the changes in micro-foodweb (food web with high turnover rate mainly consisting of
microorganisms and microfauna; Lavelle, 1997) structure and N mineralization rate shortly after
aboveground herbivory and the effects of defoliation intensity on N mineralization, we defoliated
a dwarf bamboo (Sasa nipponica)-dominated understory layer in a natural forest at different
intensities to realistically simulate sika deer (Cervus nippon) browsing. Defoliation (0?18% leaf
removal) was performed three times at approximately 1-week intervals in summer. We measured
water-soluble carbon (C) concentration, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles as indicators of
microbial community structure, a PLFA of 20:4 as an indicator of protozoan abundance, nematode
community structure at the family level, and the N mineralization rate in 28 days of incubation.
The N mineralization rate in the first 10 days of incubation showed a unimodal response to
defoliation intensity, with a peak mineralization rate at a defoliation rate (number of removed
leaves/total leaves) of 7.6%, correlating with protozoan PLFA and the abundance of Plectidae
(the most dominant family of bacterivorous nematodes). In contrast, the N mineralization rate
during the following 18 days of incubation decreased monotonically with increasing defoliation
intensity, correlating with the water-soluble C concentration in the soil and the C content of new
leaves. These results suggest that removing <15% of leaves may have induced a pulse-like
release of labile organic matter from roots that lasted for less than 1 week and stimulated N
mineralization through microbial loop in soil in the short term (in the first 1?2 weeks after
defoliation). N mineralization, however, was reduced with increase of defoliation intensity in the
longer term (3?5 weeks after defoliation), possibly because of the reduction in labile organic
matter supply from roots 1 week after defoliation. As a result, N mineralization rates over the 28-
day incubation period responded to defoliation intensity in a unimodal pattern with a small peak
(at a defoliation rate of 4.9%) and were negatively affected by high defoliation rates (>10%).
This study suggests that browsing on forest floor plants has significant effects on soil N
mineralization potential through affecting soil micro-foodweb structure and that the effects are
positive or negative depending on browsing intensity level and the length of time that has elapsed
since defoliation. MenosIn a terrestrial ecosystem, the aboveground and belowground systems depend on each other
