增温施氮对高寒草甸生产力及生物量分配的影响
Effects of warming and nitrogen addition on community production and biomass allocation in an alpine meadow
摘要
Abstract
A long-term experiment,involving exogenous N addition and simulated warming,was conducted in an alpine meadow in Damxung,northern Tibet,to study how warming and N addition influence community production and biomass allocation.The results showed that warming resulted in a warm but dry microsite,that was,air temperature increased by 1.6 ℃ and soil surface temperature increased by 1.4 ℃,and soil water content decreased by 4.7%.Under no N addition treatments,warming significantly decreased plant aboveground biomass by 61.5%,108.8% and 77.1% in 2012,2013 and 2014,respectively.Under high N treatments (40 and 80 kg N · hm-2 · a-1),warming had no significant effect on aboveground biomass.These findings indicated that the effect of warming might be dependent on N addition level,and N addition could compensate for soil N loss caused by warming.Warming led to an increase in root/shoot by 98.6%,60.7% and 97.8% in 2012,2013 and 2014 under no N addition treatments,respectively.Under the ambient condition,the change percentages of aboveground and belowground biomass of plant communities first increased and then decreased along an N gradient,with the saturation thresholds of above-and below-ground biomass for N addition 56.0 and 55.5 kg N · hm-2 · a-1,respectively.Under the warming condition,above-and belowground biomass increased linearly with increasing N addition.These findings suggested that warming modulated the response patterns of alpine meadows to exogenous N input,which was mainly caused by decreased soil inorganic N under warming.The estimation of N thresholds highlights that alpine meadows are more sensitive to future N deposition than other types of grasslands.关键词
