摘要:

【目的】 人工草地建设是缓解天然草地放牧压力、促进退化草地恢复的有效方式。开展施氮和补水对呼伦贝尔人工草地土壤有机碳(SOC)组成、土壤微生物群落数量和活性变化的研究,以深入认识不同管理方式对人工草地土壤碳截存及其稳定性的影响及调控机制。【方法】 在3种人工草地种植模式(紫花苜蓿单播、无芒雀麦单播及苜蓿-无芒雀麦混播)下构建施氮(0、150 kg N·hm-2·a-1)和补水(0、60 mm)双因素试验,采集各处理土壤样品,使用SOC物理分组、磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)分析以及土壤酶活性测定,分析不同水氮处理对SOC组分以及土壤微生物数量、组成和活性的影响,揭示土壤微生物群落组成或活性与SOC组分的耦联关系。【结果】 3年的施氮和补水处理显著影响不同土壤有机碳组分的含量。施氮处理整体上增加了苜蓿单播和苜蓿-无芒雀麦混播草地土壤的颗粒态有机碳(POC)含量,但是降低了矿物结合态有机碳(MAOC)的含量,而旱季补水则显著提高了无芒雀麦单播草地土壤粗颗粒态有机碳的含量。施氮和补水对土壤微生物群落数量和组成没有产生显著影响,但是显著影响了4种土壤酶的活性。单施氮处理显著降低β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶(NAG)在苜蓿单播草地土壤中的活性,但是显著提高其在无芒雀麦单播草地土壤中的活性。单补水处理显著降低了苜蓿单播和无芒雀麦单播草地土壤的纤维二糖水解酶(CB)和NAG活性。补水+施氮处理显著降低苜蓿单播草地土壤中β-葡萄糖苷酶(βG)、CB和NAG的活性,但显著提高苜蓿-无芒雀麦混播草地土壤中CB活性。不同水氮处理下土壤总PLFA及各微生物类群PLFA的变化量与POC变化显著正相关,而与MAOC显著负相关。βG和CB活性以及土壤酶C/N比、C/P比的变化量则与POC变化量负相关,并且在补水情况下更为显著。【结论】 在呼伦贝尔半干旱区人工草地,施氮显著促进土壤活性碳组分积累、降低惰性有机碳组分含量,不利于土壤碳库的稳定性。补水和施氮显著影响了土壤微生物群落的活性,并且不同水氮处理下土壤酶化学计量比的变化与土壤有机碳组分变化密切相关。这些结果表明人工草地土壤微生物对碳、氮、磷养分需求的差异是调控活性有机碳组分周转的重要驱动力。

Abstract:

【Objective】 Establishment of artificial grassland provides one solution for releasing some of the grazing pressure on natural grassland, and thus is conducive to the restoration of degraded grassland. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of nitrogen (N) addition and water supplement on soil organic carbon (SOC) fractionation, composition and activity of soil microbial community on artificial grassland established in Hulunber region, so as to provide insight into the effect of management practices on SOC sequestration and stability of artificial grassland. 【Method Experimental plots were designed with two factors of N addition (0, and 150 kg N·hm-2·a-1) and water addition (0, and 60 mm), and were constructed under three types of artificial grasslands, i.e., alfalfa monoculture, smooth bromegrass monoculture, and the mixed cultivation of alfalfa and smooth bromegrass. Soil samples were collected from experimental plots and SOC of bulk soil was fractionated into different particulate-size fractions by wet-sieving method. The abundance, composition and activity of soil microbial community were measured by phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and extracellular enzyme activity. Then, the effects of N addition and watering treatments on SOC fractions and soil microbial community, and investigated the relationship between these two components were analyzed. 【Result】 Three years of N fertilization and water addition exerted significant impact on SOC fractionation. Addition of N generally increased the content of particulate organic carbon (POC) in soils of alfalfa monoculture and the mixed cultivation but decreased the content of mineral associated organic carbon (MAOC), while water addition significantly increased the content of coarse POC in soils of smooth bromegrass monoculture. The activities of four soil extracellular enzymes but not the abundance or composition of soil microbial community were significantly affected by N and water addition. Nitrogen application without water addition significantly inhibited the activity of β-N-acetylglucosidase (NAG) in soils of alfalfa monoculture, but promoted that in soils of smooth bromegrass monoculture. The activities of cellobiohydorlase (CB) and NAG were significantly decreased by water addition in soils of two monoculture grasslands. Nitrogen application with water addition significantly inhibited the activities of β-glucosidase (βG), CB and NAG in soils of alfalfa monoculture, but significantly promoted CB activity in soils of the mixed cultivation. The changes in PLFA concentration of total community and specific microbial groups were positively correlated with changes in content of POC, but negatively correlated with MAOC. There were negative correlations between the activities of βG and CB, as well as the ratio of enzyme C/N and C/P with changes in POC content, and these correlations were stronger under treatments with water addition. 【Conclusion】 Results of the present study showed that in artificial grassland established in semi-arid Hulunbeier region, the addition of N fertilization significantly promoted the accumulation of labile SOC fraction, but decreased the proportion of recalcitrant fraction, which reduced the stability of soil carbon sequestration. Nitrogen fertilization and water supplement induced significant changes in activity of soil microbial communities, and these changes in enzyme stoichiometric ratios were closely related to changes in SOC fractions. These results implied that the differential demands for C, N and P by microbial communities were crucial in regulating the turnover of labile SOC fraction in artificial grassland.
