摘要/Abstract

摘要：

为进一步了解氮添加条件下群落功能多样性如何驱动生物量变化, 该研究在位于天山山脉的巴音布鲁克高寒草地开展氮添加实验, 通过连续两年调查群落物种组成并测量常见物种的功能性状, 分析物种多样性、功能多样性及群落水平功能性状的响应模式及其在驱动生物量变化中的相对贡献。结果表明, 短期氮添加同时增加群落地上和地下生物量, 且地上生物量的增加比例高于地下生物量, 氮添加导致功能多样性降低但是物种多样性未发生显著变化; 氮添加增加群落水平上的植株高度和叶片碳含量, 但导致比叶面积、种子质量及叶片磷含量下降; 物种多样性对生物量变化解释非常有限, 而功能多样性与群落水平功能性状可以很好地解释生物量变化, 以上研究结果支持质量比假说。综上, 该研究表明功能多样性与群落水平功能性状比物种多样性对短期氮添加的响应更加迅速, 且两者在解释高寒草地群落生物量对氮添加的响应中起到关键作用。

Abstract:

Aims To further understand how community functional diversity drives biomass change following nitrogen (N) addition, a nitrogen addition experiment was conducted in an alpine grassland.

Methods Species composition of community and six functional traits of common species were measured in a short-term N addition experiment in Bayanbulak alpine grassland of Tianshan Mountains. We compared the response patterns of species diversity, functional diversity, and community level traits, and quantified the relative contribution of those factors to community biomass variation.

Important findings Both aboveground and belowground biomass increased following short-term N addition, with higher proportional enhancement of aboveground biomass. N addition reduced functional diversity, but did not affect species diversity. At the community level, height and leaf carbon content increased following N addition, whereas specific leaf area, seed mass, and leaf phosphorus content decreased. The variations of species diversity contributed less to the variations of community biomass change, whereas functional diversity and community level traits explained most of the variation of community biomass. Our results support the mass ratio hypothesis. In conclusion, community level functional traits and functional diversity were sensitive to short-term N addition, and played a key role in driving community biomass.
