摘要:

非结构性碳水化合物(NSCs)包括淀粉和可溶性糖, 两者之间的相互转化可以增强植物对环境胁迫的抵抗力。热带雨林在陆地生态系统碳库和缓解气候变化中占有重要地位, 同时也是大气氮磷沉降的热点区域。目前, 热带雨林原始林和次生林优势植物叶片NSCs对长期氮磷输入的响应尚不清楚。该研究基于海南尖峰岭原始林和次生林10年的氮磷添加实验, 探究长期氮磷输入对两种森林各8个物种叶片NSCs的影响, 并分析叶片性状、光合作用参数和土壤养分含量与NSCs的关系。研究结果表明, 次生林优势植物叶片相对于原始林优势植物叶片有更高的可溶性糖和NSCs含量。低氮添加显著降低了原始林优势植物叶片淀粉的含量, 磷添加显著增加了原始林优势植物叶片可溶性糖的含量, 氮磷同时添加提高了原始林优势植物可溶性糖与淀粉的比值, 而氮磷添加对次生林优势植物叶片NSCs含量均无显著影响。两种森林8个物种的叶片NSCs含量均与叶片pH和比叶面积负相关, 而与叶片碳含量、光合速率和光合氮利用效率正相关。次生林土壤有效氮含量、总磷含量与叶片NSCs含量显著正相关。上述结果表明热带雨林优势植物叶片NSCs受到叶片性状和土壤养分的综合影响。该研究从叶片碳经济角度揭示了原始林优势植物相对于次生林优势植物对大气氮磷沉降的响应更敏感, 并呼吁加强对热带原始雨林的保护。

Abstract:

Aims Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) include starch and soluble sugars, the transformation of which enhances plant resistance to environmental stresses. Tropical rainforests play an important role in the carbon (C) pool of terrestrial ecosystems and in mitigating climate change, and they are also hotspots for atmospheric nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deposition. To date, the response of leaf NSCs of dominant plants in primary and secondary forests to long-term N and P inputs is unclear.

Methods We investigated the effects of long-term N and P inputs on leaf NSCs of eight species from each of the primary and secondary forests based on a 10-year N and P addition experiment in Jianfengling, Hainan, and analyzed the relationships of NSCs with each of the leaf traits, photosynthesis parameters, and soil nutrients.

Important findings Dominant plant leaves in the secondary forest had higher soluble sugar and NSCs contents than that in the primary forest. Low N addition significantly reduced the content of starch, P addition significantly increased the content of soluble sugar, and combined N and P additions enhanced the ratio of soluble sugar and starch in dominant plant leaves of primary forest; whereas N and P additions did not impact the NSCs content of dominant plant leaves of secondary forest. In the two forests, leaf NSCs content of eight species were negatively correlated with leaf pH and specific leaf area, while positively correlated with leaf C content, photosynthesis rate, and photosynthetic N use efficiency. There was significant positive relationship between leaf NSCs and each of soil available N, total P contents in secondary forest. These results suggest that leaf NSCs of dominant plants is jointly impacted by leaf traits and soil nutrients in tropical rainforests. From the perspective of the leaf C economy, our study demonstrates that dominant plants are more sensitive to atmospheric N and P deposition in primary than in secondary forests, thereby highlighting the importance of protecting tropical primary rainforests.
