内蒙古草甸草原生物量碳分配格局
Biomass allocation patterns in the temperate meadow steppe in Inner Mongolia
摘要
Abstract
Grasslands are one of the most widespread landscapes worldwide,covering approximately one-fifth of the world’s land surface.Although China’s grasslands cover only 6% -8% of the world’s total grassland area,they store 9%-16% of the total carbon in the world’s grasslands.Many studies have focused on monito-ring and understanding the factors affecting carbon partitioning;however,the role of species composition in carbon partitioning is still not fully understood.In this study,we evaluated the biomass distribution patterns and other indexes of vegetation in the meadow steppe of northern China,based on geographic information sys-tems (GIS)tools and field data for different community types.The results showed that the average biomass carbon density was 566.35 g C/m2 in the temperate meadow steppe.Among the different plant communities, Sanguisorba officinalis with 460.63 g C/m2 had the highest aboveground biomass (AGB),while a tessellated meadow had the highest belowground biomass (BGB).However,there were no significant differences in BGB among other types of plant communities (P >0.05).The temperate meadow steppe contributed 111.20 Tg bio-mass carbon within an area of 12.90×10 6 hm2 ,where the AGB was 27.57 Tg and the BGB was 83.63 Tg.The root∶shoot in the temperate meadow steppe was 3.03.There were two types of BGB distribution:the expo-nential function type,in which BGB was mainly distributed in the first 0-10 cm soil depth,and the quadratic function type,in which the BGB was mainly distributed at soil depths of 0-10 cm and 20-40 cm.The BGB distribution was the exponential function type in the Filifolium sibiricum ,Achnatherum splendens ,Hordeum agriocrithon ,S .officinalis ,Stipa baicalensis ,Carex tristachya ,and the tessellated meadow communities, indicating that this type of BGB distribution was a characteristic of grassland communities.The Calamagrostis epigeios ,Caragana microphylla ,and Phragmites australis communities showed a BGB distribution that fit-ted the quadratic function,rather than the exponential function.Evaluation of grassland biomass carbon stor-age by different grassland communities is meaningful for understanding carbon storage dynamics.The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for developing management strategies and designing research on natural grasslands in northern China.关键词
