摘要:

氮素矿化是决定土壤供氮能力的重要生态过程, 也是目前国内外土壤氮循环研究的重点。养分添加在调节土壤的氮转化方面起着重要的作用。该文以内蒙古锡林河流域温带典型草原为研究对象, 通过不同水平的氮(N)和磷(P)养分添加实验, 利用树脂芯原位培养法分析研究不同水平施氮、施磷对生长季草地土壤氮矿化的影响。结果表明: 高氮处理对草地土壤硝态氮(NO3- -N)、铵态氮(NH4+ -N)及无机氮都有明显的影响, 其中25 g N·m?2·a?1和10 g N·m?2·a?1高氮处理显著提高了无机氮含量, 25 g N·m?2·a?1高氮处理显著增加土壤的NO3- -N及NH4+ -N含量。与施氮相比, 施磷处理对土壤NO3--N、NH4+ -N及无机氮的影响较为有限, 只有12.5 g P2O5·m-2·a-1的磷处理显著促进了NO3- -N及无机氮含量。高氮处理对草地土壤氮素转化有明显影响, 其中25 g N·m?2·a?1高氮处理对净硝化速率、氨化速率及矿化速率都有显著的促进作用, 说明高梯度的施氮处理有利于提高土壤的供氮能力。氮是内蒙古锡林河流域草原生态系统有机氮矿化的限制因子。与施氮相比, 施磷处理对草地土壤氮转化的作用较为有限, 仅有12.5 g P2O5·m-2·a-1 + 2 g N·m?2·a?1处理显著促进生长季中期的净氨化速率。说明施磷对土壤氮转化的影响弱于施氮的影响。养分添加显著提高了草地的地上生物量。 养分添加情景下, 土壤湿度与净矿化速率极显著相关, 表明湿度是影响该区域温带草原土壤氮矿化的主效因素。环境因子(如有机碳含量、土壤全氮及土壤C/N)与不同氮处理下的净矿化速率之间显著相关, 而土壤微生物碳、氮含量与土壤氮矿化均没有显著相关性。

Abstract: <i>Aims</i>

Nitrogen (N) mineralization is an important ecological process which determines soil N supplying ability, and it is a key research domain of soil N cycling worldwide at present. Nutrient addition can play a key role in regulating soil N transformations. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of different levels of N and P additions on in situ N mineralization during growing seasons in the temperate grasslands.

<i>Methods</i>

We conducted an field N and P fertilization addition experiment in the temperate grassland in Nei Mongol in June 2014. Five levels of N (0-25 g N·m?2·a?1), five levels of P (0-12.5 g P2O5·m-2·a-1) addition treatments, and a control were set up. We measured the in situ net mineralization rate, ammonification rate, and nitrification rate using the resin core incubation technique once a month from July to October 2014. Aboveground biomass and some selected soil chemical and microbial properties were also measured in the study.

Important findings

High nitrogen addition did significantly affect the contents of inorganic N. High N addition levels (25 g N·m?2·a?1 + 1 g P2O5·m-2·a-1 and 10 g N·m?2·a?1 + 1 g P2O5·m-2·a-1) significantly increased soil inorganic N content, and the 25 g N·m?2·a?1 + 1 g P2O5·m-2·a-1 treatment markedly increased soil nitrate- (NO3- -N) and ammonium-N (NH4+ -N). Compared to N addition, P addition had limited effects on soil inorganic N, NO3- -N and NH4+ -N. Only the 12.5 g P2O5·m-2·a-1 + 2 g N·m?2·a?1 treatment significantly increased soil ammonium-N and inorganic N. N addition did significantly affect microbial N transformation rates. The 25 g N·m?2·a?1 + 1 g P2O5·m-2·a-1 treatment significantly stimulated soil net N nitrification rate, mineralization rate and ammonification rate, suggesting that high N addition can effectively improve soil available N supply. N was a limiting factor to soil organic N mineralization in the study area. P addition had negligible effects on soil net N mineralization and nitrification rates, and only the 12.5 g P2O5·m-2·a-1 + 2 g N·m?2·a?1 treatment significantly enhanced ammonification rate in the middle of growing season. The results also indicated that impacts of P addition on soil N mineralization were weaker than impacts of N. Moreover, N and P addition significantly increased aboveground biomass. Under the N and P addition, soil moisture was significantly correlated with net mineralization and nitrification rate, which suggested that it was one of the dominant factors affecting N. Net N mineralization and nitrification rate under N fertilization was significantly correlated with environmental factors (soil organic C, soil C/N and soil total N). Soil N mineralization was not positively correlated with the soil microbial biomass N or C.
