摘要:

丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)与植物根系的共生合作关系改善了植物群落的养分吸收效率, 对维持草地生态系统关键的功能和过程起到至关重要的作用。然而, 不同放牧强度下AMF群落的变化规律仍存在争议, 特别是在放牧干扰下AMF群落对土壤多功能性(SMF)的驱动作用仍未被明确解析。该研究选取新疆天山北坡的未放牧、轻度放牧和重度放牧的山地草甸草原为研究对象, 采用高通量测序技术分析AMF群落并构建共现网络。采用基于聚类分析的加权平均值法系统评估SMF, 探究不同放牧强度下AMF群落特征及其对SMF的驱动作用。结果表明, 3个放牧强度的AMF优势属均为球囊菌属(Glomus)和多样孢囊霉属(Diversispora)。随着放牧强度增加, AMF群落的多样性和共现网络的稳定性、复杂性、内聚力以及SMF均呈现先增加后降低的单峰曲线趋势。线性回归和结构方程模型的结果表明, 放牧可通过调控AMF群落多样性、网络复杂性和稳定性驱动SMF。AMF群落多样性对SMF的驱动效应主要依靠其网络复杂性和稳定性来实现, 且群落多样性的直接效应低于复杂性和稳定性。该研究强调AMF群落网络复杂性和稳定性放大了群落多样性对SMF的驱动效应, 强化了群落多样性与SMF的联系。研究结果为实现退化草地生态系统的恢复和可持续管理提供理论参考。

Abstract:

Aims The symbiotic relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant roots enhances nutrient acquisition in plant communities and plays a vital role in sustaining key functions and ecological processes in grassland ecosystems. However, the response patterns of AMF communities to varying grazing intensities remain under debate, and the mechanisms by which these communities influence soil multifunctionality (SMF) under grazing disturbance are not yet fully understood.

Methods To address these knowledge gaps, this study investigated mountain meadow steppes on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang under three grazing intensities: ungrazed, lightly grazed, and heavily grazed. High-throughput sequencing was used to characterize the composition of AMF communities and to construct their co-occurrence networks. A weighted average method, based on cluster analysis, was applied to comprehensively evaluate SMF and to analyze how AMF community characteristics vary with grazing intensities and how these variations influence SMF.

Important findings The results indicated that the dominant AMF genera in the three grazing treatments were Glomus and Diversispora. As grazing intensity increased, AMF community diversity, as along with network stability, complexity, cohesion, and SMF, exhibited a unimodal pattern—increasing initially and then declining at higher grazing levels. Linear regression and structural equation modeling indicated that grazing influences SMF mainly by modulating AMF community diversity and altering the complexity and stability of AMF networks. The effect of AMF community diversity on SMF was largely indirect, mediated through its effects on network structure, while its direct impact was relatively weak. Overall, this study highlights that the complexity and stability of AMF co-occurrence networks enhance the role of community diversity in shaping SMF and strengthen the interdependent relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. These findings offer valuable theoretical insights for the restoration and sustainable management of degraded grassland ecosystems.
