英文摘要1. Nitrogen (N) is a major nutrient limiting plant growth in most terrestrial ecosystems. Both niche partitioning and fitness equalizing mechanisms related to N acquisition have been proposed to explain the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, their relative importance remains controversial and unclear, especially in worldwide terrestrial ecosystems increasingly threatened by N deposition. 2. We added NH4NO3 at four levels over 7 years in an alpine meadow on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau to simulate the effects of N deposition. Nine species that all occurred along an N addition gradient were selected for in-situ N-15 labeling experiment to quantify their uptake of ammonium verse nitrate. 3. Plants absorbed more ammonium and nitrate with increased N addition. We found limited inorganic N niche partitioning along the N addition gradient. Instead, species tended to prefer the most abundant form of inorganic N in soil, i.e. ammonium. Of all possible linear mixed effects models constructed to explain variation in either ammonium or nitrate uptake, the most parsimonious one included soil available N. That means plant' N uptake is influenced by habitat qualities, instead of the amount of added N itself. 4. Our findings suggest that inorganic N niche partitioning may play limited role in the maintenance of high diversity in this alpine meadow. Instead, species coexistence might be promoted by minimizing their fitness differences through preferring the most abundant form of inorganic N in the soil. This provides important insights into species coexistence under future N addition in Tibetan alpine meadows. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
