Invasion of the historically perennial-dominated landscapes in the Great Basin by exotic winter annual grasses is one of the most serious plant invasions in North America. Evidence suggests invasive annuals outperform native perennials under N-poor and N-rich conditions. The objective of this study was to identify key traits contributing to the success of invasive annual grasses in these environments. Three invasive annual grasses, two native perennial grasses and one introduced perennial grass were exposed to three levels of N supply. Root biomass, root length, root N uptake rate, root and leaf morphology, leaf nitrogen productivity (leaf NP) as well as biomass and N allocation were quantified over four harvests. Path analysis indicated that leaf NP was the key trait contributing to variation in N capture among the species. Species with a higher leaf NP produced more root length and consequently captured more N under a range of soil N availability. This suggests variation in leaf NP may be one critical trait determining the ability of the resident plant community to resist establishment of these invaders. Restoration programs may be able to increase weed resistance by specifically selecting for this trait in revegetation efforts.  相似文献

Drying-rewetting pulses stimulate nitrogen (N) mineralization in semi-arid systems and enhance N availability. Intermittent stream landscapes encompass a mosaic of soils of different textures and composition, and may support intense N transformation after rainfall. We modelled N mineralization potential by measuring accumulation of inorganic N (KCl extractable NO3? and NH4+) in response to sustained flooding in soils from a small intermittent stream in semi-arid, north-west Australia. To test the relative importance of landscape position compared to flood pulse size, we incubated soils and sediments from six landscape positions, including three riparian vegetation types, rewetted to four different water potentials. Selected water potentials represented a light rain, heavy rain, single flood and successive flood event for the study site. The total amount of N mineralized was significantly affected by landscape position but not by saturation level. Riparian soils produced the greatest mineralization flush – over 70% of the total amount of N mineralized accumulated within 48 h of rewetting – however there was no difference among riparian vegetation types in N mineralization potential. N mineralized was a half to two-thirds lower in channel, floodplain and bank soils in comparison with riparian soils. We conclude that in systems subject to prolonged drought, N mineralization is predominantly determined by soil characteristics rather than the size of the rewetting pulse.  相似文献

温度对武夷山不同海拔土壤有机碳矿化的影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
采用碱吸收法测定武夷山不同海拔土壤分别在15℃、25℃、35℃下培养35d时土壤有机碳矿化速率及矿化量的变化．结果表明,土壤有机碳矿化速率随培养时间延长而逐渐降低,尤以培养3d～7d时下降最为明显．各海拔土壤累积矿化量均随培养温度升高而逐渐增加．培养35d时15℃和35℃下土壤累积矿化量随海拔升高而增加,但25℃下黄红壤的累积矿化量高于红壤和黄壤而低于山地草甸土．各培养温度下,土壤有机碳平均矿化速率均以山地草甸土最高,红壤最低．而对于各海拔土壤,不同温度下土壤有机碳平均矿化速率大小顺序为：15℃〈25℃〈35℃．培养3d时温度为15℃／25℃黄壤的Q10值显著高于其他海拔土壤（P〈0．05）,但培养35d时15℃／25℃下的土壤Q10值以黄红壤的最高．培养3d和35d时,25℃／35℃下不同海拔土壤Q10值差异均不显著（P〉0．05）．根据土壤平均矿化速率计算的Q10值在温度范围为15℃／25℃时以黄壤的最高,但25℃／35℃时红壤的Q10值最大．  相似文献

氮可利用性对东北不同类型湿地土壤有机碳矿化的影响   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：2  
2010年6~10月,在中国东北连续多年冻土区,岛状多年冻土区和季节性冻土区采集典型湿地土壤,通过室内分析和模拟试验研究了不同冻土区湿地土壤有机碳矿化及其微生物活性对不同氮可利用性的响应特征。试验设置4个氮处理水平,分别为0 mg/g(N0),0.1 mg/g(N1),0.2 mg/g(N2),0.5 mg/g(N3)。结果表明,培养结束后3种土壤在N0处理下的有机碳累计矿化量分别为5 646 mg/kg,2 103 mg/kg和1 287 mg/kg,与初始土壤有机碳含量、全氮含量和微生物量碳(MBC)呈显著正相关。3种土壤在氮输入后的有机碳矿化速率和累积矿化量都明显低于N0处理,表明氮输入对有机碳矿化产生抑制作用。随着氮输入量的增大,氮输入对不同土壤有机碳矿化的抑制作用有所差异,表现为:不同氮输入对连续多年冻土区土壤累积矿化量影响无显著差异;岛状多年冻土区土壤在N1和N2处理下的有机碳累积矿化量明显高于N3处理;季节性冻土区土壤在N2和N3处理下的累积矿化量明显低于N1处理。培养结束后,3种土壤微生物量氮(MBN)含量随氮输入量增加而降低,MBC/MBN随氮输入量增加而增加;季节性冻土区草甸沼泽土培养结束后的MBN和MBC/MBN都与累积矿化量存在显著相关关系,表明季节性冻土区草甸沼泽土氮可利用性增加可能改变了微生物的组成或结构,进而对有机碳矿化产生影响。  相似文献

Soil disturbance is a wildlife habitat management tool that retards succession and promotes early seral vegetation. Our objective was to determine responses of two invasive herbaceous species (Pennisetum ciliare and Salsola iberica) and native perennial grasses to disking on different soils. Two 10 ×40 m plots were delineated within each of 4 blocks on Ramadero loams and 4 blocks on Delmita fine sandy loams. On Delmita soils, canopy cover of P. ciliare, S. iberica, and native perennial grasses averaged across all years was not affected by disking (ANOVA, P>0.05). On Ramadero soils, P. ciliare canopy cover was similar (Tukey's, P>0.05) on control and disked plots for the first 4 years post-disturbance, but P. ciliare cover was 10-fold greater (Tukey's, P=0.02) the 5th year after disking on disked versus control plots. On Ramadero soils, S. iberica canopy cover averaged across all years was 221 times greater (ANOVA, P=0.05) on disked plots than on control plots. Disking did not affect native perennial grass canopy cover. Land managers should consider soil series when disking for wildlife management, as disking disturbance may exacerbate exotic plant ingress and establishment on certain soils.  相似文献

Understanding the temperature and moisture sensitivity of soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization variations with changes in land cover is critical for assessing soil carbon (C) storage under global change scenarios. We determined the differences in the amount of SOM mineralization and the temperature and moisture sensitivity of soils collected from six land-cover types, including an orchard, a cropland, and four forests, in subtropical southeastern China. The responses of SOM mineralization to temperature (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25°C) and moisture (30%, 60%, and 90% of water-holding capacity [WHC]) were investigated by placing soil samples in incubators. Soil C mineralization rate and cumulative C mineralization were higher in orchard and cropland soils than in other forest soils. With increasing temperature, soil C mineralization rates and cumulative C mineralization increased with the rise of WHC. The temperature sensitivity of soil C mineralization was not affected by land-cover type and incubation moisture. All soil temperature treatments showed a similar response to moisture. Cropland soil was more responsive to soil moisture than other soils. Our findings indicate that cropland and orchard soils have a higher ability to emit CO2 than forest soils in subtropical southeastern China.  相似文献

We quantified soil nutrients and biological crust cover (bryophytes and lichens) under the canopies of three species of Mojave Desert shrubs and in interspaces between shrubs at three elevations to determine the effects of shrub species, soil crust, and elevation on islands of soil fertility. Means of pH, organic matter, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrogen mineralization, and gravimetric soil moisture are significantly greater in soils under Ambrosia dumosa (Gray) Payne, Larrea tridentata Cov., and Coleogyne ramosissima Torr. than soils from adjacent interspace microhabitats. Although soil moisture and soil organic matter increase by a factor of 1.5 from the low elevation to the high elevation site, the ratio of shrub to interspace concentrations, or the difference in mean soil variables between shrubs and interspaces, is effectively constant and independent of elevation. Total bryophyte and lichen cover is relatively low (24.5%), however, there are 11 species of bryophytes and two species of lichens distributed across three elevations with the highest species richness and cover at the low-elevation site. Bryophyte and lichen cover is correlated with silt but is not related, consistently, to soil nutrients. Overall, the balance of processes controlling spatial aggregation of soil nutrients under shrubs is remarkably insensitive to potential differences in organic inputs among elevations, shrub species, and soil crust surfaces.  相似文献

模拟研究了三江平原典型草甸小叶章湿地及人工林地土壤有机碳(SOC)矿化在4种C/N(Ⅰ: 9-10,Ⅱ:11-12,Ⅲ: 13-16,Ⅳ: 16-22)处理下的变化特征,分析了SOC矿化对C/N的响应。结果表明:在36天的培养期内,高C/N处理下两种土壤的SOC累积矿化量分别是低C/N时的2.78和2.68倍,两种土壤SOC矿化量对C/N变化的响应不存在显著差异;不同C/N处理下,两种土壤SOC的矿化速率均在前期(0~4天)较高,随着培养时间的延长逐渐降低,并趋于稳定;一级动力学方程能较好的描述两种土壤的SOC矿化动态,其C0和C0/SOC值均随C/N的增加而增加;回归分析表明,试验C/N(9-22)范围内湿草甸土和林地土的SOC累积矿化量及矿化速率分别与C/N呈显著的线性和二次曲线关系,C/N是影响湿地土壤有机碳富集程度的关键因素。  相似文献

The soil properties of a vegetation chronosequence in Hong Kong involving a grassland, a 22-year mixed woodland, a 52-year forest and two graduation 150-year old climax ( feng shui ) forests were examined. The objectives were to test the three hypotheses: (1) there are no significant differences in soil chemical properties between different climax forests, (2) exotic species are inferior to native species in soil amelioration; and (3) organic carbon, nitrogen and cation nutrients tend to accumulate in the soils during successional development of the vegetation. The results show that the soils along the vegetation chronosequence are strongly acidic in reaction, contained moderate to high levels of organic carbon, high exchangeable acidity, and low levels of mineral nitrogen (NH⊂4⊂> and NO⊂3⊂), available phosphorus and cation nutrients. All the three hypotheses are rejected. While the feng shui forests differed markedly in soil properties, exotic species were superior to native species in augmenting soil organic carbon, mineral nitrogen and exchangeable Ca. There was no accumulation of organic carbon, nitrogen and cation nutrients with ecological succession, due to the influence of patchy fire, species composition, parent materials and distance from the sea.  相似文献

凋落物矿化分解是维持生态系统养分循环的关键过程,也是陆地生态系统C向大气释放的主要动力,因此影响和控制生态系统凋落物矿化分解的主要因素一直备受关注。土地沙漠化是科尔沁沙地最严重的环境问题,并且导致土壤粗质化和贫瘠化,凋落物输入和矿化分解对于改善该地区土壤质地和养分状况至关重要。通过室内培养的方法,对科尔沁沙质草地27种主要植物叶凋落物矿化分解及其与凋落物C含量、N含量、木质素含量、C/N、木质素/N、极易分解有机物含量(LOMⅠ)、中易分解有机物含量(LOMⅡ)及难分解有机物含量(RP)等指标关系进行研究。结果表明:科尔沁沙地27种植物叶凋落物质量存在较大差异(P<0.001),相应的27种植物叶凋落物培养样品矿化有机碳总量和干物质损失量存在显著差异(P<0.001),分别在9.0 mg C·g-1干土至12.7 mg C·g-1干土和14.7%至40.4%之间变化。添加凋落物后培养样品的CO2释放总量显著大于对照(不添加凋落物),说明土壤中添加凋落物后,培养样品的有机碳矿化速率明显增大。27种植物叶凋落物矿化有机碳总量以及损失干物质总量与凋落物的N含量、C/N、木质素/N、LOMⅠ、LOMⅡ和RP等指标存在显著的相关性,叶凋落物的矿化分解主要受LOMⅠ和木质素/N的影响。  相似文献

Rates and impacts of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition are poorly understood in arid land ecosystems where soils are typically low in plant available N. To address this issue, we quantified long-term trends in N deposition and estimated its impact on plant community structure in the northern Chihuahuan desert of Central New Mexico, USA. Annual and seasonal rates of N deposition were strongly positively correlated with precipitation. When precipitation effects were removed statistically, N deposition increased at an annual rate of 0.049 kg ha−1 yr−1 between 1989 and 2004. Based on two independent fertilization studies at our desert grassland field site, continued atmospheric inputs are likely to increase grass cover, decrease legume abundance, and may favor blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) at the expense of the current dominant species, black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda). We conclude that, although arid lands have low rates of N deposition and are primarily water limited, observed trends in N deposition rates may lead to significant changes in plant community structure.  相似文献

Better understanding of plant community structure in relationship to land use history and nitrogen (N) will facilitate grassland conservation and projections of community succession under future N deposition. We conducted a field experiment in northern China to examine the influence of 2-year N addition on species composition and community structure in three temperate grasslands with different land use history: steppe fenced for two years (ST), steppe fenced for five years (SF), and old field grassland fenced for five years (OF). The results showed previous farming reduced species diversity and plant cover, which is mainly caused by decrease in perennial grasses (PG) and forbs (PF). Nitrogen addition increased plant cover, especially the PG cover, but had little effects on species diversity. Nitrogen enrichment also has a tendency to alter community composition by decreasing proportional cover of PF but increasing that of PG and annuals and biennials (AB), suggesting enhanced dominance of PG under increasing N deposition. Irrespective of the short-term (2 years) experimental periods, our findings highlight the dominant role of land use history in structuring plant community, and have valuable implications for grassland conservation and model projections of ecosystem succession under global scenarios of N deposition in the semi-arid grasslands.  相似文献

In the western United States, overgrazing, weed invasion and wildfire have resulted in the conversion of shrub-steppe to annual grasslands, with substantial effects on ecosystem function. In these landscapes, badgers disturb large areas of soil while foraging for fossorial animals. Mounds created by badgers contained the lowest concentrations of total carbon, nitrogen and sulphur, mineral nitrogen and mineralizable nitrogen, inter-mound soils had the highest concentrations, and excavation pits had intermediate levels. Soil C:N ratio and pH were greater, and electrical conductivity and soluble Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ were lower on mound soils compared with either pit or inter-mound soils. Larger pits generally trapped more litter, and increased litter mass equated with greater concentrations of active carbon, but only at the burned sites. Older mounds supported more vascular plants and cryptogamic crusts. Our results demonstrate reduced levels of nutrients and a higher C:N ratio on the mounds compared with either the pits or inter-mounds. Alteration to the homogeneous post-fire landscape by badgers contributes to patchiness in soils and vegetation, which is critical to the functioning of arid systems. Given their effect on soil C:N ratios, mounds may be important sites for recovery of indigenous shrub-steppe plant species.  相似文献

High N2O emissions have been observed in semi-arid grasslands, especially during freeze/thaw periods, when denitrification might be the main process of N2O production. However, there have been few denitrification studies in semi-arid grassland. This study was designed to determine the denitrification potential of four representative land cover types (typical steppe, meadow steppe, marshland, arid steppe) in two grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China. We found that soils from different land cover types exhibited significantly different denitrification potentials, with highest rates in marshland and lowest rates in arid steppe. Denitrification potentials were maximal in the upper layer and generally decreased with depth for all soils. Soil water content, soil carbon and nitrogen availability, and C/N ratio were found to be significantly correlated with denitrification potentials in all soils. Addition of glucose or/and nitrate significantly increased denitrification activities throughout the profile for all soils, suggesting that both bioavailable carbon and nitrogen were limiting factors of denitrification in these grasslands soils. However, further field studies are needed to translate the denitrification potentials determined in laboratory measurements to denitrification rates under field conditions.  相似文献

草原土壤的碳氮含量及其与温室气体通量的相关性   总被引：61，自引：0，他引：61

Shallow-rooted grasses and deep-rooted shrubs dominate arid ecosystems where nitrogen is concentrated in the upper layers of the soil and water is distributed throughout. Analysis of mineral nitrogen and absorption patterns using a tracer indicated that shrubs in Patagonia absorbed nutrients from the lower, relatively nutrient-poor layers of the soil. Are they, consequently, at a competitive disadvantage with grasses that have the opposite pattern? Studies of nitrogen economy indicated that shrub and grass species have similar N-use efficiency but that they achieve it through opposite mechanisms. Shrubs have a conservative N economy absorbing annually only small fraction of their N content, whereas grasses have a more open N economy. This study about N-capture strategies in conjunction with previous studies about water-use by shrubs and grasses in the Patagonian Steppe suggest a coupling of N and water-capture strategies. Our findings have implications for the response of arid and semiarid ecosystems to global warming, nitrogen deposition, and biodiversity change. For example, climate change scenarios predict, for most arid regions, decreases in moisture availability that will result in a reduction in deep water, which in turn will reduce shrub density and result in a less conservative nitrogen economy.  相似文献

研究区域尺度土壤碳（C）、氮（N）、磷（P）化学计量特征与分布格局对于认识陆地生态系统空间格局变化规律及其对全球变化与人类活动的响应具有重要意义。通过文献收集和野外调查,对中国北方典型风沙区表层土壤有机C、全N、全P化学计量特征及其沿经度和纬度的分布格局进行了研究。结果表明：（1）北方典型风沙区表层土壤有机C、全N、全P含量及C：N、C：P和N：P的平均值分别为12.2、1.2、0.8 g·kg-1及10.1、15.7、1.63,与全国水平相比,具有较低的有机C含量、全N含量、C：P、N：P及较高的全P含量;（2）农田表层土壤有机C、全N、全P含量及C：P显著高于草地表层土壤,C：N和N：P在农田和草地之间无显著差异;（3）北方典型风沙区表层土壤有机C、全N、全P元素间具有一定的耦合关系,但这种耦合关系在草地和农田间存在差异性;（4）北方风沙区草地和农田土壤有机C、全N、全P化学计量特征随纬度的增加呈逐渐增加趋势,除草地全P含量和N：P外,其余指标均与纬度呈线性关系;草地和农田土壤有机C、全N、全P化学计量特征随经度的增加呈先减小后增加的趋势,与经度呈二阶多项式分布关系。  相似文献

森林土壤碳、氮淋失过程及其形成机制研究进展   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  
大气氮沉降对森林生态系统碳截存和损耗过程的影响已引起广泛关注, 但对沉降氮在森 林生态系统中的去向、增氮对土壤中碳/氮转化过程的影响以及土壤氮饱和前后土壤渗漏液中溶 解性有机碳(DOC) 和溶解性有机氮(DON) 动态等方面的研究还不够深入。本文论述了近年来国 内外在土壤氮饱和及土壤碳、氮淋溶领域的最新研究进展, 从系统论的角度阐述土壤氮饱和过程 及内涵; 通过论述DOC 和DON 含量及其结构组成变化来揭示其对增氮/氮沉降的内在响应机 理; 论述了增氮对土壤无机氮转化的影响以及生物和非生物因素对沉降氮固持的贡献。指出土壤 氮饱和为土壤中的有效氮随时间增加超过了土壤中生物和非生物的持留能力, 导致土壤氮的净 矿化、净硝化、NO3-流失以及土壤酸化等过程发生一系列非线性变化。初步认为土壤中DOC 和 DON 对增氮的不同响应归因于氮素饱和过程的三个不同阶段。对于特定的生态系统来说, 需要 清楚地认识土壤氮素矿化、硝化、反硝化和固持等过程, 才能明晰土壤氮素状态以及随时间的演 变。另外, 指出在上述三个研究领域中存在的问题, 并提出拟解决的途径以及未来的可能研究方 向, 以期对该领域的研究提供参考。  相似文献

Land-use and soil management affects soil organic carbon （SOC） pools, nitrogen, salinity and the depth distribution. The objective of this study was to estimate land-use effects on the distribution of SOC, labile fractions C, nitrogen （N） and salinity in saline-alkaline wetlands in the middle reaches of the Heihe River Basin. Three land-use types were selected： intact saline-alkaline meadow wetland, artificial shrubbery （planting Tamarix） and farmland （cultivated for 18 years） of soils previously under meadow wetland. SOC, easily oxidized carbon, microbial biomass carbon, total N, NO3--N and salinity concentrations were measured. The results show that SOC and labile fraction carbon contents decreased significantly with increasing soil depth in the three land-use wetlands. The labile fraction carbon contents in the topsoil （0-20cm） in cultivated soils were significantly higher than that in intact meadow wetland and artificial shrubbery soil. The aboveground biomass and soil permeability were the primary influencing factors on the contents of SOC and the labile carbon in the intact meadow wetland and artificial shrubbery soil, however, the farming practice was a factor in cultivated soil. Agricultural measures can effectively reduce the salinity contents; however, it caused a significant increase of NO 3--N concentrations which posed a threat to groundwater quality in the study area.  相似文献
