摘要:

该研究旨在揭示纬度梯度下滨海湿地植物根系与土壤生态化学计量特征的变化规律及根系化学计量内稳性, 通过采集我国7个不同纬度(19.87°-41.03° N)滨海湿地的植物与土壤样品, 测定地上部分、根系及土壤的碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)含量, 分析其与环境因子的耦合关系。研究表明, 纬度驱动的环境变化显著影响了土壤养分状况, 高纬度滨海湿地土壤养分含量普遍低于低纬度地区, 杭州湾以北地区的土壤有机碳含量(<11.1 g·kg-1)、总氮含量(<1.1 g·kg-1)低于全国平均水平。滨海湿地植物根系C、N、P化学计量特征对纬度变化的响应较为敏感, 其变化与土壤养分状况密切相关且因植物种类而异, 互花米草(Spartina alterniflora)根系C含量与土壤C含量呈极显著正相关关系, 芦苇(Phragmites australis)和海三棱藨草(× Bolboschoenoplectus mariqueter)根系C含量与土壤C含量呈显著负相关关系, 盐地碱蓬(Suaeda salsa)根系的C、N、P含量及其化学计量比均与土壤C、N、P含量及其化学计量比呈显著正相关关系。6种植物根系的化学计量内稳性也存在差异, 其内稳性强弱依次为海榄雌(Avicennia marina) >芦苇>互花米草>海三棱藨草>蜡烛果(Aegiceras corniculatum) >盐地碱蓬。研究结果有助于揭示纬度梯度下植物-土壤系统的养分动态与植物适应策略, 为滨海湿地生态系统植被恢复奠定理论基础。

Abstract:

Aims This study aimed to reveal variations in ecological stoichiometric characteristics of plant roots and soils in coastal wetlands along a latitudinal gradient, to examine root stoichiometric homeostasis, and to explore the coupling relationships between root stoichiometry and environmental factors.

Methods Plant and soil samples were collected from seven coastal wetlands across China spanning a latitudinal range from 19.87° to 41.03° N. The contents of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) were measured in aboveground plant parts, roots, and soils. The relationships between plant root stoichiometric characteristics and environmental factors were further analyzed.

Important findings Latitudinally driven environmental changes significantly influenced soil nutrient conditions, with soil nutrients in high-latitude coastal wetlands generally lower than those in low-latitude regions. The contents of soil organic carbon (<11.1 g·kg-1) and total nitrogen (<1.1 g·kg-1) north of Hangzhou Bay were lower than the national average. The C, N, and P stoichiometric characteristics of plant roots in coastal wetlands were relatively sensitive to latitudinal variation. These variations were closely related to soil nutrient conditions and varied among plant species. The root C content of Spartina alterniflora was extremely significantly positively correlated with soil nutrient conditions. The root C contents of Phragmites australis and × Bolboschoenoplectus mariqueter were significantly negatively correlated with soil nutrient conditions, whereas the root C, N, and P contents and their stoichiometric ratios of Suaeda salsa were significantly positively correlated with soil nutrient conditions. The six plant species also exhibited significant differences in root stoichiometric homeostasis, with the strength of homeostasis decreasing in the order of Avicennia marina, Phragmites australis, Spartina alterniflora, × Bolboschoenoplectus mariqueter, Aegiceras corniculatum, and Suaeda salsa. These results elucidate nutrient dynamics and plant adaptive strategies in plant-soil systems along latitudinal gradients and provide a theoretical basis for vegetation restoration in coastal wetland ecosystems.
