英文摘要 | The natural abundance of nitrogen (N) stable isotopes (delta N-15) has the potential to enhance our understanding of the ecosystem N cycle at large spatial scales. However, vegetation and soil delta N-15 patterns along climatic and edaphic gradients have not yet been fully understood, particularly for high-altitude ecosystems. Here we determined vegetation and soil delta N-15 in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau by conducting four consecutive regional surveys during 2001-2004, and then examined their relationships with both climatic and edaphic variables. Our results showed that both vegetation and soil N in Tibetan alpine grasslands were more N-15-enriched than global averages. Vegetation delta N-15 did not exhibit any significant trend along the temperature gradient, but decreased significantly with an increase in precipitation amount. In contrast, soil delta N-15 did not vary with either mean annual temperature or precipitation. Our results also indicated that soil delta N-15 exhibited a slight increase with clay content, but decreased with soil carbon:nitrogen ratio. A general linear model analysis revealed that variations in vegetation delta N-15 were dominantly determined by climatic variables, whereas soil delta N-15 was related to edaphic variables. These results provide clues for potential climatic and edaphic regulations on ecosystem N cycle in these high-altitude regions. |
