中文摘要 | Nitrogen (N) deposition usually alters plant community structure and reduces plant biodiversity in grasslands. Seedling recruitment is essential for maintaining species richness and determines plant community composition. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread symbiotic fungi and could facilitate seedling establishment. Here we conducted an experiment to address whether the influence of AMF on seedling recruitment depends on N addition and plant species. Leymus chinensis were cultivated for 5 months in the microcosms that were inoculated with or without AMF at five N addition rates. Seeds of three main species (two C-3 grasses and one non-N-2-fixing forb) of the Eurasian steppe were sown to the 5-month-old microcosms. Seedling establishment was estimated by shoot biomass, N and P contents 7 weeks after seedling germination. AMF promoted seedlings recruitment of two C-3 grasses at addition rates above 0.5 g N m(-2). In contrast, seedling recruitment of the non-N-2-fixing forb was increased by AMF at addition rates below 0.5 g N m(-2) but was decreased above 2.5 g N m(-2). These results partly explain why N addition favored the dominance of grasses over forbs in perennial grassland communities. Our study indicates that AMF have the potential to influence plant community composition by mediating revegetation in the face of N deposition. |
