摘要:

干旱打破树木的碳(C)平衡过程是诱发树木干旱死亡的主要因素, 这一过程可能受到土壤养分(如氮(N))有效性的调控。然而, 氮添加对树木干旱响应过程中地上-地下部分碳和氮利用、各器官碳氮耦合关系的影响仍不清楚。该研究通过为期两年的微宇宙实验, 在第一个生长季对无梗花栎(Quercus petraea)进行氮添加处理, 随后在第二个生长季进行干旱处理, 并在干旱前进行15N标记、干旱中进行13C标记, 双标记后经过连续3次破坏性取样研究氮添加对无梗花栎响应持续干旱过程中碳氮分配动态的影响。主要研究结果: 1)前期氮添加促进了无梗花栎地上部分光合碳和氮分配, 也促进了根系氮吸收, 改变了植株地上-地下新吸收碳和氮的关系, 降低了各器官非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)含量; 2)干旱对无梗花栎地上-地下碳氮分配过程、各器官碳和氮关系的影响较小, 但降低了各器官NSC含量; 3)干旱第40-73天过程中, 前期氮添加下的无梗花栎表现出将吸收的氮和光合碳逐渐向地下器官转移的趋势。综上, 无梗花栎通过调控自身对碳和氮的利用策略, 具有较好的干旱适应能力, 而前期氮添加很可能会增加无梗花栎的干旱敏感性。

Abstract:

Aims Drought effects on the carbon (C) balance are considered the major factor of tree mortality and are assumed to be regulated by soil nutrient (e.g., nitrogen (N)) availability. However, the effects of nitrogen addition on trees’ carbon and nitrogen distribution between aboveground and belowground and the coupling between carbon and nitrogen relations in various organs in response to drought are still unclear in trees.
Methods A two-year full factorial microcosm experiment was set up with sessile oak (Quercus petraea). Nitrogen addition was performed in the first year, and a drought treatment was conducted in the second year. Isotope 15N and 13C labelling were carried out before drought and during drought, respectively. Three consecutive samplings were conducted after the dual labelling with 13C and 15N in the second year, and the effects of nitrogen addition on carbon and nitrogen allocation dynamics during progressive drought were tested.
Important findings Our results showed that previous nitrogen addition promoted photosynthetic carbon fixation and nitrogen allocation, increased root nitrogen uptake, reduced the non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) contents in all organs and changed the relationships of carbon and nitrogen in aboveground and belowground organs. In contrast, drought had minor effects on nitrogen and carbon allocation between aboveground and belowground and the relationship of carbon with nitrogen in all organs (represented by the ratio of 13C to 15N in all organs). Drought only significantly reduced the content of NSC. During drought (from day 40 to 73), previous nitrogen addition led sessile oak to prioritise belowground carbon and nitrogen allocation. Our results indicate that sessile oak can change its carbon and nitrogen allocation strategies to adapt to drought, while previous nitrogen addition may increase its drought sensitivity.
