摘要: 氮添加通常会刺激氧化亚氮排放,而磷添加对氧化亚氮排放的影响尚无定论,且氧化亚氮排放的潜在机制仍不清楚。我们在青藏高原三种典型高寒草地,即高寒草甸、高寒草原和高寒人工草地上,进行了为期两年的野外实验,以探究氮和磷添加对氧化亚氮排放的影响。结果显示,在三个类型的高寒草地上,单独添加氮均促进了氧化亚氮的排放,而单独添加磷对氧化亚氮排放均无显著作用。氮的添加直接导致高寒草甸氧化亚氮排放的增加,在高寒草原则是通过降低土壤pH值,在人工草地是通过降低硝化基因丰度间接促进氧化亚氮排放。氮和磷共同添加促进了高寒草甸和高寒草原的氧化亚氮排放,但仅在高寒草甸表现出交互作用。磷的添加主要通过促进高寒草甸的植物生长来增加由氮添加导致的氧化亚氮排放。总之,我们的研究结果表明,短期磷的添加不能缓解高寒草地生态系统中氮沉降对氧化亚氮排放的刺激作用,甚至可能进一步加剧氧化亚氮排放。

Abstract:

The response of N2O emissions to nitrogen (N) addition is usually positive, but its response to phosphorus (P) addition varies, and the underlying mechanisms for the changes in N2O emissions remain unclear.  We conducted field studies to examine the response of N2O emissions to N and P addition over two years in three typical alpine grasslands, alpine meadow (AM), alpine steppe (AS), and alpine cultivated grassland (CG) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP).  Our results showed consistent increases in N2O emissions under N addition alone or with P addition, and insignificant change in N2O emissions under P addition alone in all three grasslands.  N addition increased N2O emissions directly in AM, by lowering soil pH in AS, and by lowering abundance of denitrification genes in CG.  N and P co-addition increased N2O emissions in AM and AS but only showed an interactive effect in AM.  P addition enhanced the increase in N2O emissions caused by N addition mainly by promoting plant growth in AM.  Overall, our results illustrate that short-term P addition cannot alleviate the stimulation of N2O emissions by N deposition in alpine grassland ecosystems, and may even further stimulate N2O emissions.
