北方农牧交错带温性盐碱化草地土壤呼吸对不同形态氮添加和刈割的响应

农牧交错带草地生态系统兼受农业和牧业的影响, 属于脆弱生态系统, 尤其是养分贫瘠的盐碱化草地, 其生态系统结构和功能对外界干扰的响应更加强烈。位于晋西北地区的农牧交错带盐碱化草地, 地理位置独特, 区别于天然牧区草地生态系统。由于毗邻农田, 农业氮肥的过量使用促进了活性氮气体排放, 同时使得农牧交错带草地土壤碳氮循环发生改变。刈割是北方农牧交错草地生态系统的主要管理方式, 为了深入探究氮添加和刈割管理方式对农牧交错带草地碳循环的影响, 进一步厘清该区域草地生态系统的碳动态问题, 该研究设置了一个不同形态氮添加和刈割的裂区实验, 测定土壤呼吸对不同形态氮肥添加和刈割的响应, 为进一步科学管理该区域草地提供可靠的依据。实验样地位于山西省右玉县境内的“山西农业大学农牧交错带草地生态系统野外观测研究站”, 于2017年设置不同形态氮添加和刈割处理, 实验处理包括对照(不刈割和刈割)、尿素添加、缓释尿素添加、刈割+尿素添加、刈割+缓释尿素添加, 每种处理6个重复, 共36个小区。在不同处理条件下测定土壤呼吸速率、土壤温度、土壤水分、土壤微生物生物量、土壤无机氮含量、植物地上和地下生物量, 并计算土壤累积碳排放量及CO₂通量。研究结果表明: (1)短期(2017-2018年)尿素和缓释尿素的添加显著提高了该地区土壤呼吸速率和土壤累积碳排放量。与添加缓释尿素相比, 添加尿素处理下的土壤呼吸速率和累积碳排放量更高; (2)刈割显著降低土壤呼吸速率和累积碳排放量; (3)短期氮添加和刈割的交互作用对土壤呼吸速率没有显著影响。因此, 短期氮添加促进了北方农牧交错带盐碱化草地土壤碳释放, 刈割抑制土壤呼吸, 降低了累积碳排放量, 这可能是由于刈割移除地上植物, 减少了凋落物的输入, 底物减少导致土壤微生物活性降低。但是随着处理时间的延长, 氮添加和刈割对该农牧交错带盐碱化草地土壤碳动态的影响还有待进一步探究和发现。

黄土高原半干旱区典型草地生态系统CO2交换对刈割的响应

草地生态系统碳循环在全球气候变化中扮演着重要的角色。刈割是实现草地资源合理利用的主要管理措施,但其对草地生态系统碳通量的影响过程和机理尚不清楚。以黄土高原半干旱区典型草地为研究对象,设计刈割和对照两种处理,于2013—2015年对生态系统碳通量各组分,土壤温度和水分进行了测定。结果表明:生态系统碳通量季节性变化均呈明显的单峰模式,以夏季最高,春秋季节最低,但不同组分峰值出现的时间有所不同。刈割使整个试验期土壤呼吸增加了17%,但对总初级生产力(GEP)、生态系统呼吸(Re)和净初级生产力(NEE)的影响不显著。GEP和NEE在正常降水年(2014)高于干旱年(2015),而且其对刈割的响应与降水年型有关。在正常降水年,刈割后GEP和NEE显著减低,而在干旱年显著增加。这些结果表明,降雨年际变化是造成半干旱草地生态系统碳通量变化的主导因素,而刈割增大了这一生态系统的土壤碳排放。     

内蒙古草甸草原土壤理化性质和微生物学特性对刈割与氮添加的响应

频繁的刈割和氮输入增加是导致草地生态系统退化的重要原因.土壤微生物学特性作为评估土壤质量的重要生物学指标,对草地刈割和氮输入增加的响应规律仍不十分明确.本研究依托内蒙古呼伦贝尔草原刈割复合氮添加野外实验平台,分析了土壤理化性质、土壤微生物生物量、土壤呼吸和土壤酶对刈割、氮添加的响应及其生长季动态变化.结果表明: 刈割显著降低了土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷和土壤呼吸(基础呼吸和底物诱导呼吸),与刈割后导致的水分限制及碳限制有关.刈割显著降低了氮磷获取酶(N-乙酰-β-D-葡萄糖苷酶和酸性磷酸单酯酶)的活性,符合“资源分配假说”.氮添加显著降低土壤pH值,但土壤微生物生物量对氮添加和pH降低均无显著响应,表明氮输入增加引起的土壤酸化不是影响微生物生物量的主要因素.氮添加对土壤呼吸和酶活性也无显著影响,与以往在典型草原的大多数研究结果不一致.刈割和氮添加复合处理显著降低了土壤微生物生物量磷,但提高了土壤中有效磷含量,降低了酸性磷酸酶活性.微生物生物量碳、氮、磷和土壤呼吸等的相关参数均在7月最高,这与夏季高温多雨有关.土壤酶活性在春夏季较高,生长季末期较低.这表明在该草甸草原,刈割将导致土壤碳氮磷养分失衡,从而加剧草原退化;而氮添加在短期内并未对土壤微生物生物量和活性产生显著影响.     

放牧和刈割对内蒙古典型草原土壤可提取碳和氮的影响

依托内蒙古典型草原的长期野外放牧控制试验,探讨了放牧和刈割对土壤有机碳、全氮、可提取碳和氮、微生物生物量碳和氮的影响.结果表明: 放牧使可提取有机碳降低11.4%～37.1%,而刈割使可提取有机碳升高5.8%.放牧和刈割分别使可提取氮升高10%～340%和10%～240%.放牧强度不高于6.0 sheep·hm^-2的条件下有利于维持甚至增加微生物生物量碳,而重度放牧(7.5和9.0 sheep·hm^-2)则减少微生物生物量碳.刈割处理下微生物生物量碳和氮分别升高31.0%和9.8%.通径分析表明,放牧处理下微生物生物量碳的主要影响因素是有机碳、可提取全氮和全氮,其中直接影响因素是有机碳和可提取全氮;微生物生物量氮的主要影响因素是土壤pH、可提取有机碳、有机碳和可提取全氮,其中直接影响因素是有机碳和可提取全氮.刈割及轻度和中度放牧有利于维持或改善土壤功能,重度放牧将引起土壤退化.     

放牧对草地群落与土壤特征的影响

针对放牧干扰对草地生态系统的影响,采用回归分析和典型对应分析(CCA)方法,研究放牧对草地植物群落物种多样性与生产力、土壤碳氮含量与生物量关系的影响。结果表明:(1)与休牧草地相比,放牧草地的地上生物量降低31.63%,凋落物生物量降低134.29%;放牧草地的禾草类生物量提高19.77%,而杂草类生物量和豆科类生物量分别降低31.09%和23.42%。(2)当物种多样性指数小于1.3时,休牧草地的生产力明显高于放牧草地;当物种多样性指数大于1.3时,放牧草地的生产力高于休牧草地。(3)CCA分析显示,家畜主要通过影响群落地上生物量、凋落物质量和土壤容重进而影响土壤的碳氮含量。(4)当群落地上生物量小于100g·m-2时,休牧草地的土壤有机碳和全氮含量高于放牧草地,当群落地上生物量大于100g·m-2时,放牧草地则略高于休牧草地。(5)当群落地下生物量小于1 200g·m-2时,放牧草地土壤有机碳、全氮含量高于休牧草地;当地下生物量大于1 200g·m-2时,放牧草地则略低于休牧草地。     

三种客观赋权法分析草地管理措施对土壤有机碳含量的影响

草地生态系统中90%的碳贮存于土壤中,影响草地植被和土壤理化性质的草地管理措施影响草原土壤有机碳含量。综合分析及评价草地管理措施对草原土壤有机碳的影响,对草地碳汇可持续管理模式的形成具有重要意义。本研究采用熵权法、标准离差法、CRITIC法等3种客观赋权法分析了火烧、刈割耙除、施肥等草地管理措施对草地土壤有机碳含量的影响,对不同草原管理措施的处理组合进行了综合评分及排序。结果表明:3种客观赋权法都可以用来分析草地管理措施对土壤有机碳的影响,>0.25mm土壤团聚体的权重最大,各处理综合排序顺序相同;刈割耙除后施半量有机肥和半量化肥的综合评分值最高,火烧不施肥的综合评分值最低;火烧和刈割耙除都显著降低土壤有机碳含量,火烧对土壤有机碳含量的影响更大;火烧和刈割耙除结合施肥处理均可有效地维持草地土壤有机碳含量,以施入半量有机肥和半量化肥处理的综合评价分值最高。     

氮素添加和刈割对内蒙古弃耕草地土壤氮矿化的影响

以内蒙古多伦县恢复生态学试验示范研究站弃耕10余年的草地为研究对象,于2006年起分别设置对照、氮素添加、刈割和氮素添加+刈割4种处理,每种处理6次重复,研究弃耕草地氮素添加和刈割对土壤氮矿化的影响,结合土壤理化性质和植被地上生产力的动态变化,分析弃耕草地土壤氮矿化对植被恢复的响应,为当地草地恢复与重建提供理论依据和数据支持。实验结果表明:1氮素添加显著增加了植物地上净初级生产力(ANPP)和土壤无机氮库,与对照相比分别提高115%和196%,同时显著提高了土壤总硝化速率;但是氮素添加对总氨化速率、土壤微生物生物量碳(MBC)、微生物生物量氮(MBN)、微生物生物量碳氮比(MBC/MBN)、微生物呼吸(MR)以及呼吸熵(q CO2)均无显著影响;2总氨化速率和硝化速率对刈割处理的响应均不显著,但是刈割处理显著降低了土壤MR(P0.05);3氮素添加+刈割处理5—7a后,土壤总氨化和硝化速率均无显著变化;但是氮素添加+刈割处理显著增加了ANPP、土壤无机氮库和q CO2,同时显著降低了MBC和MBC/MBN。这说明在弃耕草地适应性管理中,氮素添加可以显著提高草地生产力,但是长期的氮添加对土壤微生物氮的转化是否有利还值得我们进一步研究。     

短期氮素添加和模拟放牧对青藏高原高寒草甸生态系统呼吸的影响

氮沉降和放牧是影响草地碳循环过程的重要环境因子,但很少有研究探讨这些因子交互作用对生态系统呼吸的影响。在西藏高原高寒草甸地区开展了外源氮素添加与刈割模拟放牧实验,测定了其对植物生物量分配、土壤微生物碳氮和生态系统呼吸的影响。结果表明:氮素添加显著促进生态系统呼吸,而模拟放牧对其无显著影响,且降低了氮素添加的刺激作用。氮素添加通过提高微生物氮含量和土壤微生物代谢活性,促进植物地上生产,从而增加生态系统的碳排放;而模拟放牧降低了微生物碳含量,且降低了氮素添加的作用,促进根系的补偿性生长,降低了氮素添加对生态系统碳排放的刺激作用。这表明,放牧压力的存在会抑制氮沉降对高寒草甸生态系统碳排放的促进作用,同时外源氮输入也会缓解放牧压力对高寒草甸生态系统生产的负面影响。     

长期人为干扰对桂西北喀斯特草地土壤微生物多样性及群落结构的影响

人为干扰是喀斯特草地正向演替的主要障碍因素, 从土壤微生物角度探讨草地对干扰的响应可为喀斯特生态恢复与科学利用提供依据。该研究依托中国科学院环江喀斯特生态系统观测站长期干扰监测样地, 通过高通量测序测定3个干扰模式(火烧、刈割、刈割除根)和1个对照(封育)处理的土壤细菌、真菌α多样性和群落结构, 并分析它们与环境因子(坡位、土壤理化性质)的关系, 揭示人为干扰对桂西北喀斯特草地土壤微生物的影响及机制。结果显示: 1)对于α多样性, 在中坡和下坡, 火烧均显著降低了真菌Chao1指数, 刈割均显著降低了细菌的香农指数和谱系多样性指数; 刈割除根在中、下坡分别显著降低了真菌Chao1指数和细菌香农指数。2)对于群落结构, 火烧、刈割和刈割除根在中、下坡均显著降低了酸杆菌门细菌相对丰度, 火烧在下坡使子囊菌门真菌相对丰度从74.49%显著降低至34.72%。3)冗余分析显示, 微生物生物量碳含量解释细菌和真菌α多样性变化的29.8%和26.8%以及细菌群落结构变化的31.7%; 细根生物量解释细菌α多样性和真菌群落结构变化的13.9%和10.3%。可见, 长期人为干扰对土壤微生物α多样性产生负面影响, 并显著改变微生物群落结构, 影响程度因干扰方式、微生物种类不同而异, 且受坡位调控。土壤微生物生物量碳含量和细根生物量的减少是人为干扰影响土壤微生物多样性和群落结构的重要因素。α多样性及子囊菌的减少将不利于土壤生态系统稳定性的维持, 酸杆菌的减少将不利于土壤有机质降解和铁循环。因此, 长期火烧、刈割等人为干扰将导致喀斯特草地生态系统功能发生退化。     

Effects of mowing and nitrogen addition on soil respiration in three patches in an oldfield grassland in Inner Mongolia

Aims Vegetation type is important in determining variations in soil carbon (C) efflux under grassland managements. This study was conducted to examine the effects of mowing and nitrogen (N) addition on soil respiration and their dependences upon vegetation types in an oldfield grassland of northern China.Methods Soil respiration, temperature, moisture and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) were examined in response to mowing and N addition among the three patches dominated by different species (named as grass, forb and mixed patches, respectively) in the growing seasons (May–October) from 2006 to 2008.Important findings Across the 3 years, soil respiration in the grass patch was greater than those in the forb and mixed patches, which could have been ascribed to the higher soil moisture (SM) in the grass patch. Mowing had no impact on soil respiration due to unaltered SM and plant growth. Soil respiration was stimulated by 6.53% under N addition, and the enhancement was statistically significant in 2006 but not in 2007 or 2008 because of the limited water availability in the later 2 years. There were no interactive effects between mowing and N addition on soil respiration. Soil respiration showed positive dependence upon SM, ANPP and BNPP across plots. The results suggest that soil water availability and plant growth could be the primary factors in controlling the temporal and spatial variations in soil respiration and its response to different treatments. Our observations indicate that grassland managements (i.e. mowing for hay once a year) may have little influence on soil respiration of the oldfield grassland in northern China.     

Alpine grassland ecosystem respiration variation under irrigation in Northern Tibet

Grassland ecosystems are important parts of terrestrial ecosystems and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. In recent years, the grasslands in Northern Tibet have experienced warming, and its precipitation has also increased. Alpine grassland irrigation measures could be a reasonable pathway to redistribute and make full use of the increased precipitation. In this study, we measured the soil respiration in alpine grassland in Northern Tibet under sprinkler head irrigation in the growing season to determine the relationships between soil temperature /water and ecosystem/soil respiration, soil moisture and Q₁₀, and soil temperature and Q₁₀. The results showed that after 2 years irrigation, alpine grassland aboveground biomass increased significantly, with 2010 higher than 2009. There was significant annual, seasonal and daily variation of soil respiration. Under irrigation, ecosystem respiration and soil respiration increased 75% and 64% respectively; soil water increase can promote the respiration of ecosystem and its components. In our results, the Q₁₀ value was 2.23–2.81, over the global average. The irrigation can promote ecosystem respiration temperature sensitivity. There was a positive linear correlation between ecosystem respiration and grassland aboveground biomass. The aboveground biomass accounted for 32.8% of ecosystem respiration variation. Soil respiration accounted for more than 70% of ecosystem respiration, indicating that the contribution to carbon emissions of soil respiration is very high. In short, we can project that in grasslands biomass and ecosystem respiration will increase under future precipitation change, which will significantly affect the function of alpine grassland carbon storage.     

Effects of grassland-use on soil respiration and litter decomposition

 草地利用方式影响植被群落结构和土壤微环境, 制约草地生态系统碳循环。该文通过测定温带草原在放牧、割草、围封3种利用方式下湿润年(2012年)和干旱年(2011年)的凋落物产量、质量及其分解速率和土壤碳通量, 分析了草地利用方式对土壤呼吸和凋落物的影响, 探讨了凋落物对土壤呼吸的贡献机制。结果表明: 在干旱年份, 放牧样地土壤呼吸最大, 分别达到割草和围封样地的1.5倍和1.29倍; 在湿润年份, 割草样地土壤呼吸最大, 为309 g C·m^–2·a^–1, 明显高于放牧样地和围封样地。不论干旱年还是湿润年, 围封样地凋落物产量都大于放牧样地和割草样地。3种利用方式下湿润年土壤呼吸和凋落物分解均比干旱年增强。因此, 水分是温带草原植物生长和生态系统碳循环的主要限制因子, 草地利用方式则显著影响凋落物生产和分解。进一步分析表明, 经过两年的分解, 同一样地内凋落物质量C:N下降, N含量和木质素:N升高, 土壤呼吸与凋落物产量、凋落物分解速率以及木质素:N正相关, 而与凋落物C:N负相关。     

Factors affecting nitrogen dynamics in a semiarid woodland (Dry Chaco,Argentina)

In an effort to elucidate the factors affecting soil N dynamics in the Dry Chaco ecosystem, soil respiration and microbial biomass N were measured for one year underneath 5 vegetation types: a leguminous tree (Prosopis flexuosa DC), a non-leguminous tree (Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco Schlecht.), a non leguminous shrub (Larrea spp.), the open interspaces, and a pure grassland. Ammonifier and nitrifier densities and N content in litter were also measured in some cases. Results were compared with previously reported N mineralization rates and soil fertility.During the dry season microbial biomass N and net N mineralization were low, while accretion of easily mineralizable C occurred (estimated through soil respiration rates in lab under controlled temperature and moisture). With the onset of rain, microbial biomass N and N mineralization increased markedly, resulting in a decrease in easily mineralizable C. Throughout the wet season N mineralization varied with soil moisture while microbial biomass N remained consistently high. Mean values of immobilized N in this ecosystem were high (20–140 mg kg^–1), of about the same order of magnitude as accumulated net N mineralization (50–150 mg kg^–1 yr^–1). Microbial decay in the dry season, considered as a source of easily mineralizable N, accounted for only 40% of gross N mineralization increase at the beginning of the wet season. Ammonifier densities correlated significantly with soil moisture and N mineralization, but nitrifiers did not.The highest values of total N, N mineralization, inorganic N, microbial biomass N, nitrifier densities, N content in litter, total organic C and easily mineralizable C were found under Prosopis and the lowest values under shrubs and the interspaces. The main differences between tree species were in N mineralization at the beginning of the wet season, in total and inorganic N pools, and in nitrifier densities; all of which were significantly lower under Aspidosperma than under Prosopis.N mineralization in the pure grassland was very low despite high values of total N and C sources. Although N immobilized in microbial biomass was similarly high under Aspidosperma, Prosopis and the pure grassland, net N mineralization rates were quite different.     

Stability of above-ground and below-ground processes to extreme drought in model grassland ecosystems: Interactions with plant species diversity and soil nitrogen availability

Extreme drought events have the potential to cause dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and function, but the controls upon ecosystem stability to drought remain poorly understood. Here we used model systems of two commonly occurring, temperate grassland communities to investigate the short-term interactive effects of a simulated 100-year summer drought event, soil nitrogen (N) availability and plant species diversity (low/high) on key ecosystem processes related to carbon (C) and N cycling. Whole ecosystem CO₂ fluxes and leaching losses were recorded during drought and post-rewetting. Litter decomposition and C/N stocks in vegetation, soil and soil microbes were assessed 4 weeks after the end of drought. Experimental drought caused strong reductions in ecosystem respiration and net ecosystem CO₂ exchange, but ecosystem fluxes recovered rapidly following rewetting irrespective of N and species diversity. As expected, root C stocks and litter decomposition were adversely affected by drought across all N and plant diversity treatments. In contrast, drought increased soil water retention, organic nutrient leaching losses and soil fertility. Drought responses of above-ground vegetation C stocks varied depending on plant diversity, with greater stability of above-ground vegetation C to drought in the high versus low diversity treatment. This positive effect of high plant diversity on above-ground vegetation C stability coincided with a decrease in the stability of microbial biomass C. Unlike species diversity, soil N availability had limited effects on the stability of ecosystem processes to extreme drought. Overall, our findings indicate that extreme drought events promote post-drought soil nutrient retention and soil fertility, with cascading effects on ecosystem C fixation rates. Data on above-ground ecosystem processes underline the importance of species diversity for grassland function in a changing environment. Furthermore, our results suggest that plant–soil interactions play a key role for the short-term stability of above-ground vegetation C storage to extreme drought events.     

Effects of long-term experimental warming on plants and soil microbes in a cool temperate semi-natural grassland in Japan

To clarify the effects of long-term warming on ecosystem matter cycling, we conducted an in situ 7-year experimental warming (2009–2015) using infrared heaters in a cool temperate semi-natural grassland in Japan. We measured plant aboveground biomass, soil total C and N, soil inorganic N (NH₄ ⁺-N and NO₃ ^?-N), and soil microbial biomass for 7 years (2009–2015). We also measured heterotrophic respiration for 2 years (2013–2014) and assessed net N mineralization and nitrification in 2015. We found that warming immediately increased plant aboveground biomass, but this effect ceased in 2013. However, the soil microbial biomass was continuously depressed by warming. Soil inorganic N concentrations in warmed plots substantially increased in the later years of the experiment (2013–2015) and the potential net N mineralization rate was also higher than in the earlier years. In contrast, heterotrophic respiration decreased with warming in 2013–2014. Our observations indicate that long-term warming has a contrasting effect on plants and soil microbes. In addition, the warming could have different effects on subterranean C and N cycling. To enhance the accuracy of estimation of future climate change, it is essential to continuously observe the warming effects on ecosystems and to focus on the change in subterranean C and N cycling.     

西双版纳地区稻田CO2排放通量

采用静态暗箱-气相色谱法对云南西双版纳地区单季稻田CO2排放及氮肥、水热因子对CO2排放的影响进行田间原位观测研究.试验设3个氮肥水平处理:N0(0 kg N hm-2)、N150(150 kg N hm-2)和N300(300 kg N hm-2).结果表明,受一天温度变化的影响,西双版纳地区稻田生态系统呼吸日变化为单峰型,其最大值出现在11:00～13:00之间,最小值出现在凌晨.稻田土壤呼吸呈明显的季节变化趋势,土壤呼吸平均速率为水稻收获后休闲季节>种植前休闲季节>水稻生长季节,差异达到1%显著水平.不同季节影响土壤呼吸的环境因子不同.土壤水分含量低于34%时,土壤呼吸速率与土壤含水量呈正相关,达5%显著水平;地面淹水时,土壤呼吸速率与淹水深度呈1%极显著负相关;水分含量高于38%时,土壤呼吸速率与温度呈极显著指数相关.长期考虑(整个生长季节),氮肥的施用对稻田土壤呼吸和生态系统呼吸无影响;N300处理抑制植株呼吸作用,单位生物量呼吸速率下降.氮肥的施用对土壤呼吸有短期影响,氮肥用量增加,土壤呼吸速率增加.计算得出N0、N150和N300处理年土壤呼吸量分别为6.27、6.31 t C hm-2 a-1和5.89 t C hm-2 a-1;年净固定大气中CO2-C分别为1.41、2.22 t C hm-2 a-1和1 11 t C hm-2 a-1,表明西双版纳稻田生态系统是碳汇.
