摘要:

植物根系分泌物在植物-土壤-微生物互馈过程中发挥重要作用, 然而对长期围封后青藏高原高寒草原植物根系分泌物碳、氮、磷分泌速率和化学计量特征及其与环境因子之间的关系仍知之甚少。该研究以青海湖流域紫花针茅(Stipa purpurea)高寒草原为研究对象, 基于放牧和长期围封处理的野外实验样地, 在植物群落水平和物种水平进行根系碳、氮、磷分泌速率及其化学计量特征研究, 并进一步解析根系分泌物特征与植物群落特征和土壤因子的关系。主要结果: (1)长期围封显著降低了高寒草原群落水平根系碳、氮分泌速率以及分泌物碳磷比和氮磷比, 对磷分泌速率和分泌物碳氮比无显著影响; (2)整体上, 长期围封对高寒草原植物根系碳、氮、磷分泌速率具有显著的负效应, 同时, 除了分泌物氮磷比以外, 长期围封对分泌物碳氮比和碳磷比也表现出显著的处理效应, 特别是赖草(Leymus secalinus)的分泌物碳氮比和碳磷比在长期围封后显著下降; (3)高寒草原杂类草物种的根系分泌物能力整体上表现出高于禾草和莎草的模式, 其中阿尔泰狗娃花(Aster altaicus)根系碳、氮、磷分泌速率远高于其他物种; (4)高寒草原群落水平根系碳、氮分泌速率和分泌物氮磷比与植物群落多样性、群落组成以及土壤含水量和氮含量显著相关。进一步分析表明了高寒草原群落水平根系碳、氮、磷分泌速率的主导因子不同, 根系碳分泌速率受土壤因子影响最大, 根系氮、磷分泌速率受植物群落组成影响最大。总的来看, 长期围封对于高寒草原根系分泌速率及其化学计量特征具有显著影响, 该结果对于进一步认识草地围封管理后的其他生态系统功能变化具有重要意义。

Abstract:

Aims Plant root exudates play important roles in the plant-soil-microbes interactions and feedbacks. However, the responses of root carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) exudate rates and their stoichiometric characteristics in the alpine steppe to long-term grazing exclusion and relationships between them and environmental factors remain poorly understood on the Qingzang Plateau.

Methods In the study, based on a long-term grazing exclusion experiment on the Qinghai Lake Basin, we evaluated the root C, N and P exudate rates and their stoichiometric characteristics at the plant community and species level. Furthermore, the relationships between root exudate characteristics and plant community characteristics, as well as soil factors were also explored.

Important findings Our results showed that: (1) Root C and N exudate rates and their C:P and N:P at plant community level decreased after long-term grazing exclusion, although root P exudate rate and their C:N were not significantly changed. (2) The long-term grazing exclusion exerted negative effects on root C, N and P exudate rates at the species level, and had significant effects on their C:P and N:P simultaneously, with the greatest decline observed in the Leymus secalinus. (3) The root exudate ability of forb species was found to be greater than that of grass and sedge species, which was demonstrated by the observations that the root C and N exudate rate of the Aster altaicus was significantly higher than that of other species. (4) The root C and N exudate rate and N:P of exudation at the plant community level were significantly related to plant diversity, plant community composition, soil water content and soil N content. The further analysis revealed that the key factors affecting root C, N and P exudate rate were different, indicating that the root C exudate rate was most affected by soil factors, while root N and P exudate rate were most affected by the plant community composition. In conclusion, the long-term enclosure has imposed significant effects on the root exudate rate and their stoichiometry in the alpine steppe, which is of great significance for understanding the changes of other ecosystem functions after grassland enclosure management in the future.
