英文摘要 | Soil nitrogen (N) availability, which is primarily controlled by climate and soil properties, may play a key role in regulating biomass production in natural grasslands. However, how climate, soil properties, and gross N dynamics interact in their regulation of biomass production in natural grassland ecosystems in climate-sensitive biomes remains largely unclear. We quantified gross N transformation rates using the 15N dilution technique and the abundance of bacteria, fungi, ammonia-oxidizing archaea, and bacteria in the topsoil (0-10 cm) and subsoil (30-40 cm) in four natural grassland ecosystems along an altitudinal gradient from the Inner Mongolian (IM) to the Qinghai-Tibet (QT) plateaus. The results showed that gross N mineralization rates were generally greater in the topsoil (1.28-4.79 mg N kg-1 soil d-1) than in the subsoil (0.19-0.93 mg N kg-1 soil d-1) in all four grasslands. Gross nitrification rates were also consistently greater in the topsoil (2.42-6.48 mg N kg- 1 soil d-1) than in the subsoil (<1.43 mg N kg- 1 soil d-1) in all four grasslands. Gross nitrification rates were positively correlated with gross N mineralization rates, suggesting that soil nitrification was probably substrate limited. We present evidence of different interactive effects of climate, soil properties, and gross N dynamics on biomass production between the topsoil and the subsoil. In the topsoil, mean annual precipitation influenced gross N mineralization by altering total microbial activity and, in turn, influencing aboveground biomass. However, mean annual temperature influenced underground biomass through altering gross N mineralization in the subsoil. Climate influences biomass production by directly and indirectly regulating soil gross N mineralization in natural grasslands from the IM to the QT plateaus. The findings of the present study could facilitate better prediction of soil N availability for plants in natural grasslands under projected global climate change scenarios. |
