摘要:

为了探究植物与固碳相关属性在不同功能群、器官和物种间的差异, 以及这些属性对不同土地利用方式的响应, 2012年8月对内蒙古大针茅草原的4个样地(长期无干扰样地、长期自由放牧样地、4年围封样地和4年围封割草样地)进行了群落调查, 并采集样地中的常见植物, 测定了与植物固碳相关的属性, 包括全碳含量、全氮含量、碳氮比、纤维素含量、木质素含量和酸性洗涤纤维含量等。以常见植物为对象, 在功能群水平研究了各土地利用方式下全碳含量、全氮含量和碳氮比的差异; 针对各样地的共有种——糙隐子草(Cleistogenes squarrosa)、大针茅(Stipa grandis)、冷蒿(Artemisia frigida)、羊草(Leymus chinensis)和猪毛菜(Salsola collina), 从物种和器官水平分析了不同土地利用方式下植物的固碳相关属性。结果表明: 大针茅草原植物不同功能群、物种和器官间的固碳相关属性存在极显著差异, 不同土地利用方式下大针茅草原不同功能型、物种和器官的固碳相关属性有显著差异。与其他利用方式相比, 4年围封割草对植物与固碳相关属性的影响最为明显, 功能群、器官和物种水平的植物氮含量均有下降。糙隐子草和猪毛菜的这些属性对长期自由放牧的响应敏感, 且方向相反。

Abstract:

Aims Land-use change is one of the key factors affecting global carbon cycle, and plant functional traits have been widely used to study the linkage between environmental factors and ecosystem functioning. With the help of plant functional traits, we can better understand how plants respond to land-use changes. This study aims to 1) determine how plant traits related to carbon sequestration differ among different functional groups, organs and species of common plants in a Stipa grandis steppe in Nei Mongol; 2) explore the underlying impacts of four different land-use types on traits related to carbon sequestration of the studied plants.
Methods The study was conducted in Maodeng pastureland, Xilinhot, Nei Mongol. Samples of common plant species were collected in four plots, including a long-term reserved plot, a long-term free grazing plot, a 4-year enclosed plot and a 4-year enclosed plot with hay harvesting. We separated the plants into organs and determined the contents of carbon, total nitrogen, cellulose, lignin and acid detergent fiber, and then calculated the ratio of carbon to nitrogen. All data were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows 19.0.
Important findings There were marked differences in the traits related to carbon sequestration among different plant functional groups, species and organs. Land-uses significantly affected these traits at the three organizational levels. Four-year enclosure with hay harvesting resulted in a decrease in nitrogen content of the plants compared with other three land-use types. Both Cleistogenes squarrosa and Salsola collina were susceptible in the traits related to carbon sequestration to long-term free grazing, but their patterns of responses were reversed.
