| 英文摘要 | Soil microbial residue carbon (MRC) represents a significant component of soil carbon pools and regulates the response of soil carbon sequestration to precipitation changes. However, the response of soil MRC to extreme drought and wetness and the underlying mechanisms in regional grassland ecosystems remain unclear. Here, we quantified the responses of soil MRC content to extreme drought and wetness and identified the key drivers using a coordinated precipitation change experiment across nine alpine and temperate grassland ecosystems in China. Extreme drought (-50% precipitation) reduced MRC content by 8% on average. In contrast, extreme wetness (+50% precipitation) unexpectedly caused a pronounced 24% average decline in MRC content. Under extreme drought, reduced plant biomass inhibited soil MRC formation, and soil microbial N enzyme activity accelerated soil MRC decomposition. Moreover, wetter ecosystems exhibited greater losses of soil MRC, whereas drier ecosystems experienced a smaller decline. Under extreme wetness, increased soil microbial N enzyme activity accelerated the decomposition and utilization of microbial residue due to intensified microbial nitrogen limitation, resulting in a reduction in MRC. Our findings challenged the conventional understanding that extreme wetness promotes MRC accumulation by revealing a stronger reduction in MRC content under extreme wetness than under extreme drought. By uncovering distinct mechanisms driving MRC responses to extreme drought and wetness, our study provides critical insights into the dynamics of microbial-derived carbon in grassland ecosystems under future climate change. |
