英文摘要 | Purpose Degradation of grassland creates diverse vegetation patch types with plant species with different palatabilities, potentially affecting ecosystem productivity and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. This study investigated variations in SOC densities and carbon/nitrogen/phosphorus (C/N/P) ratios among vegetation patch types in a degraded alpine steppe on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Materials and methods We examined soil, shoot and root C, N and P densities, and C/N/P ratios in a growing season for five vegetation patch types dominated by palatable plant species Stipa purpurea, S. purpurea and Poa litwinowiana, and unpalatable plant species Leontopodium nanum, Artemisia nanschanica, and Oxytropis glacialis. Results and discussion Soil C and N as well as shoot and root densities varied among patch types, but not soil C/N. Patches dominated by unpalatable plant species had a lower SOC density, lower soil and plant N/P ratios, and greater plant nutrient densities than those dominated by palatable plant species. Vegetation patch type strongly influenced nutrient densities and ratios in soil-plant systems, and sampling only areas dominated by palatable plant species may overestimate the C sequestration rate at the ecosystem scale. Conclusions Even though patch-level plant biomass and nutrient density may increase with increasing degradation, the decrease in palatability and SOC storage at the ecosystem scale would impair grassland sustainability as alpine grassland degradation proceeds. The palatability of plants should thus be considered for improving regional SOC stock estimate in future research. |
