添加水对半干旱区沙质草地土壤氮有效性季节变化的影响(英文)

Water is usally thought of a limiting factor for the restoration of semi-arid ecosystem. In the growing season of 2006, a study was conducted to determine the effects of modeling precipitation on seasonal patterns in concentrations of soil-available nitrogen and to describe the seasonal patterns in soil nitrogen availability and seasonal variation in the rates of net nitrogen mineralization of topsoil at Daqinggou ecological station in Keerqin sand lands, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. Manipulation of water (80 mm) was designed to be added to experiment plots of sandy grasslands in dry season. Water addition (W) treatment and control (CK) treatment were separately taken in six replications and randomly assigned in 12 plots (4 m×4 m for each) with 2-m buffers betweens. Results showed that the content of soil inorganic nitrogen and net nitrogen mineralization rate were not affected by adding water in sandy grassland of Keerqin sand lands. Net nitrogen mineralization rates ranged from 0.5 μg·g-1·month-1 to 4 μg·g-1·month-1. The highest values of soil inorganic nitrogen and net nitrogen mineralization occurred on October 15 in control plots. The seasonal changes of soil inorganic nitrogen contents exhibited "V" shape pattern that was related to seasonal patterns of soil ammonium-N (ascending trend) and nitrate-N transformation (descending trend).     

施肥对科尔沁沙质草地群落物种组成和多样性的影响

以科尔沁沙质草地为对象,研究了施肥对科尔沁沙质草地群落物种组成、群落结构和多样性的影响。结果表明,1)施氮肥和氮磷肥混施均改变了群落物种组成、群落中的优势种以及植物的科属结构,显著增加了群落植被高度和盖度,其中施氮肥和氮磷肥混施比对照的植被高度均提高了64.5和66.8cm,植被盖度分别提高17.1%和18.1%。2)施磷肥对群落物种组成和群落结构影响不显著。3)施氮肥和氮磷肥混施均显著减小了沙质草地群落的Shannon-Wiener指数、Simpson指数、Pielou均匀度指数和物种丰富度,其中施氮肥和氮磷肥混施分别减少物种数49.5%和51.5%。4)施磷肥对群落物种数和各物种多样性指数均无显著影响。表明除了生产力,合理的物种组成和群落结构也是受损草地生态系统恢复和经营需要考虑的因素。
