英文摘要 | Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), the ratio of microbial growth to carbon (C) uptake, is a pivotal parameter for estimating the transformation of soil C into microbial biomass C. This process is significantly influenced by environmental conditions and microbial metabolic traits. However, there are significant gaps in understanding the variations and driving factors of microbial CUE in alpine grasslands due to the lack of large-scale empirical evaluations. To fill these gaps, we collected surface soils along a large-scale environmental gradient in the Tibetan alpine grassland. We analyzed soil extracellular enzyme activities and edaphic biogeochemical properties. Additionally, we evaluated microbial metabolic status based on extracellular enzyme stoichiometry and calculated microbial CUE using a stoichiometric model. The findings indicate that as altitude increased, microbes shifted from nitrogen to phosphorus limitation, and the relative C limitation diminished. There was a significant positive correlation between microbial CUE and altitude, with values of 0.25 ± 0.02 (mean ± standard error) at low elevation and 0.45 ± 0.02 at high elevation. Partial least squares path modeling revealed that mean annual temperature (MAT) and microbial metabolic limitations were the primary drivers of microbial CUE. Specifically, microbial CUE decreased with increasing MAT and aggravated microbial limitations of C, nitrogen, or phosphorus. Overall, this study provides an empirical investigation for microbial CUE in alpine grassland ecosystem. Our results suggest that microbial CUE should not be represented as constant value in Earth system model. Comprehending the driving mechanism underlying microbial CUE is crucial for accurately modeling soil C cycling in the context of global change. |
