摘要:

为了解典型沙生半灌木群落植物在氮(N)沉降和降水增加下的响应机制和适应策略, 以毛乌素沙地黑沙蒿(别名油蒿, Artemisia ordosica)群落为对象, 研究了N、水分添加及其交互作用下土壤与优势植物黑沙蒿和赖草(Leymus secalinus)叶片N含量、磷(P)含量、N:P及相应的内稳性指数。结果显示: (1)土壤速效N、P养分供应状况和植物养分吸收的内在属性共同影响黑沙蒿和赖草叶片N含量、P含量、N:P对N和水分添加的响应, 黑沙蒿和赖草叶片N含量对N和水分添加的响应存在种间差异; (2)黑沙蒿和赖草叶片P内稳性均强于叶片N内稳性, 与黑沙蒿和赖草生长均受N限制密切关联; (3)黑沙蒿叶片N、P化学计量内稳性相对较高且养分利用策略较为保守, 赖草叶片N、P化学计量内稳性相对较低且养分利用策略较为灵活。结果表明, 黑沙蒿在干旱贫瘠的环境中更具竞争力和生长优势。在N沉降和降水持续增加的情景下, 黑沙蒿群落物种组成可能因优势植物黑沙蒿和赖草竞争力和养分利用策略的不同而发生变化。

Abstract:

Aims Water and nitrogen (N) availability are two of crucial factors affecting the growth of desert plants, and are sensitive to global climate change. With increasing N deposition and precipitation, the understanding of the responses of leaf N and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry of dominant species in sandy semi-shrub community could provide insights into the adaptive strategies of sand-fixing plants in the Mau Us Sandy Land.

Methods An experiment of N and water addition was conducted in an Artemisia ordosica community in the southern edge of the Mau Us Sandy Land. Soil available N and P concentrations, soil available N:P, leaf N and P concentrations, leaf N:P, and the corresponding homeostasis index of dominant species A. ordosica and Leymus secalinus were measured.

Important findings (1) Soil N and P availability and species identity jointly influenced the response of leaf N concentration, leaf P concentration, and leaf N:P in A. ordosica and L. secalinus to N and water addition, and the leaf N concentration of A. ordosica and L. secalinus showed different responses to treatments. (2) Both A. ordosica and L. secalinus showed higher stoichiometric homoeostasis indices for leaf P than for leaf N, which was closely related to the fact that the growth of A. ordosica and L. secalinuswere both N-limited. (3) The stoichiometric homoeostasis indices of leaf N concentration, leaf P concentration, and N:P in A. ordosica were relatively higher than those of L. secalinus, and A. ordosica adopted more conservative nutrient utilization strategies, while L. secalinus adopted more flexible nutrient utilization strategies. Therefore, A. ordosica was more competitive than L. secalinus in growth in arid and infertile environments. Under the scenarios of increasing N deposition and precipitation, the species composition of the A. ordosica community may change due to the contrasting competitiveness and nutrient utilization strategies between A. ordosica and L. secalinus.
