摘要:

植物叶片对氮的重吸收能够降低凋落物分解后根系对土壤氮的依赖程度, 但叶片氮重吸收效率是否受叶片初始氮含量、土壤氮含量的调控并不明晰, 这种关系在不同生活型的植物之间是否存在差异也不清楚。该研究沿中国热带亚热带森林样带采集了92种常见木本植物新鲜叶和衰老叶, 进一步整理了全球已发表的54篇相关文献数据, 分析了不同生活型植物叶片氮重吸收效率及其与叶片初始氮含量和土壤氮含量的关系。结果发现: 1)在热带亚热带森林样带和全球尺度上, 常绿木本与落叶木本植物叶片氮重吸收效率无显著差异, 被子植物和裸子植物也无显著差异; 在全球尺度上, 乔木叶片氮重吸收效率显著高于灌木; 外生菌根木本植物叶片氮重吸收效率显著高于丛枝菌根木本植物。2)常绿木本植物、乔木和灌木叶片氮重吸收效率均与叶片初始氮含量显著相关, 被子植物与裸子植物、丛枝菌根与外生菌根木本植物则与叶片初始氮含量无显著相关性。3)常绿木本植物、被子植物和丛枝菌根木本植物叶片氮重吸收效率与土壤氮含量显著相关, 落叶木本植物、裸子植物和外生菌根木本植物则与土壤氮含量无显著相关性。这些结果表明, 植物叶片氮重吸收效率在不同生活型之间存在差异, 这种差异主要受养分获取策略的影响, 这对于揭示不同生活型植物差异化的养分利用策略具有重要意义。

Abstract:

Aims The reabsorption of nitrogen (N) by leaves can reduce the tropical and dependence of root systems on soil N after the decomposition of fallen leaves. However, whether N reabsorption efficiency is dependent on the N contents in fresh leaves and in soils remains poorly understood, and whether this coupling varies with life forms is also largely unknown.

Methods Here we collected fresh and senescent leaves of 92 woody plants in tropical and subtropical forests in southern China and complied a global dataset of N reabsorption efficiencies from 54 literatures to evaluate the coupling of N reabsorption efficiency with N contents in fresh leaves and in soils across various life forms.

Important findings We found that: 1) In tropical and subtropical forests and on the global scale, there was no significant difference in leaf N reabsorption efficiency between evergreen and deciduous and between angiosperms and gymnosperms species. On the global scale, the leaf N reabsorption efficiency of trees was significantly greater than that of shrubs, and the efficiency of ectomycorrhizal woody plants was significantly higher than that of arbuscular mycorrhizal woody plants. 2) The N reabsorption efficiency of evergreen woody plants, trees and shrubs was significantly correlated with the initial nitrogen content of leaves, while that of angiosperms and gymnosperms, as well as arbuscular mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal woody plants, was not significantly correlated with the initial nitrogen content of leaves. 3) The N reabsorption efficiencies of evergreen, angiosperms and ectomycorrhizal woody plants were significantly correlated with soil N content at the sampling sites, while those of deciduous, gymnosperms and arbuscular mycorrhizal woody plants were not significantly correlated with the soil N content. Our results suggest that there are differences in N reabsorption efficiency among woody plants with different life forms. These differences are primarily influenced by nutrient acquisition strategies, which is of great significance for revealing the differentiated nutrient utilization strategies among plants.
