摘要:

植物元素组成及其化学计量特征对于理解植物养分策略与生态系统生物地球化学循环至关重要。尽管“生物地球化学生态位假说”和“化学计量可塑性假说”已在宏观尺度得到验证, 但在极端胁迫环境中, 特别是在考虑系统发育保守性时, 其适用性仍不确定。该研究采集了金沙江干热河谷区5个地点13种共240个灌木和草本植物叶片样本, 测定了其碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)化学计量特征及对应土壤理化性质。通过贝叶斯系统发育线性混合模型等方法, 定量评估了生境因子与系统发育对叶片化学计量特征变异的相对贡献, 并探讨了主要生境因子对叶片养分利用策略的调控机制。结果表明, 生境因子对叶片化学计量特征变异的解释度较低, 其中海拔是叶片C、P含量及C:P、N:P的主要驱动因子, 土壤pH则主导叶片N含量和C:N的变化。系统发育分析显示, 叶片N、P含量及C:N、C:P表现出显著的系统发育信号, 贝叶斯模型结果进一步支持系统发育对叶片化学计量特征的主要影响。除系统发育保守性外, 叶片C含量的差异与植物生活型有关, 而N:P则表现出较高的种内可塑性。总之, 该区域叶片化学计量格局主要受系统发育保守性控制, 并由表型可塑性加以补充。该研究有助于深化对环境胁迫条件下植物多样性维持机制的理解, 同时拓展了区域尺度上植物养分利用策略的相关认识。

Abstract:

Aims The objective of this study was to determine whether leaf stoichiometry is predominantly shaped by habitat filtering or phylogenetic conservatism in the extreme dry-hot valley of the Jinsha River. We further evaluated the applicability of the biogeochemical niche and stoichiometric plasticity hypotheses at a regional scale.

Methods We collected 240 leaf samples from 13 shrub and herbaceous species at 5 sampling sites along the Jinsha River. Leaf carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stoichiometric traits were measured. Corresponding soil physicochemical properties were also analyzed. Bayesian phylogenetic linear mixed models were used to quantify the relative contributions of habitat factors and phylogeny to variation in leaf stoichiometry, and to explore how major habitat gradients regulate plant nutrient use strategies.

Important findings Habitat factors collectively explained 1.9% to 13.7% of the variability in leaf elements and their stoichiometric ratios. Elevation was the primary driver of leaf C and P concentrations and of C:P and N:P, whereas soil pH was the main regulator of leaf N concentration and C:N. Importantly, significant phylogenetic signals were observed in leaf N and P concentrations, as well as in C:N and C:P, indicating the conservatism of these traits. In addition to phylogenetic constraints, we found that leaf C concentration was primarily associated with plant life form and N:P showed greater intraspecific plasticity. In conclusion, regional leaf stoichiometric patterns were governed mainly by phylogenetic conservatism and refined by phenotypic plasticity. These findings enhance our understanding of how plant diversity is maintained under habitat stress and broaden knowledge of plant nutrient-use strategies at regional scales.
