摘要:

生物土壤结皮是荒漠化地区地表景观的基本组成部分和土壤养分的主要供给来源,降水格局影响该区域生态系统的稳定性。以自然降水为对照,通过使用遮雨棚和喷灌系统控制降水输入,探究降水量对生物土壤结皮及下层土壤碳、氮和微生物的影响,为气候变化对荒漠草原生态系统稳定性的影响提供基础数据。结果表明:1)-50%降水处理有利于土壤有机碳(SOC)、土壤微生物生物量碳(SMB-C)和土壤真菌的积累,并提高了结皮层及中间土层全氮(TN)含量和真菌数量,+50%降水处理提高了各土层土壤细菌数量、结皮层以及中间层土壤微生物生物量氮(SMB-N)含量,并显著降低了各土层土壤C∶N、SMB-C∶SMB-N和真菌数量∶细菌数量,不同降水处理下土壤SOC、SMB-C、SMB-N含量、细菌和真菌数量均随土层深度显著下降;2)细菌对降水减少更为敏感,而真菌比细菌更能抵御干旱气候,土壤细菌和真菌对降水变化具有不同的适应策略;3)-50%降水处理有利于土壤养分的恢复,对结皮层以下土层土壤养分的恢复尤为明显,+50%降水处理导致结皮层和深层土壤养分略有退化。

Abstract:

Biological soil crusts are fundamental components and surface landscape in arid regions, and the main source of soil nutrients also depends on them. However, the rainfall pattern affects the stability of the regional ecosystem in the desert region of Northern China. This paper aims to investigate the effects of precipitation on soil organic carbon, total nitrogen and microbial characteristics of biological soil crusts in a desert steppe. The precipitation was regulated by the measurement of artificial rain using rainwater shed and sprinkler irrigation technologies, in order to evaluate precipitation effects on the biological soil crusts in desert steppe compared with natural precipitation. 12 precipitation treatments (6 m×6 m) were set up at the test station in early March 2018, where 3 m wide buffer zone was designed between each time. Control conditions of precipitation were designed via the rainwater shed and sprinkler irrigation system, comprising 3 precipitation treatments, natural precipitation (CK), -50% (50% reduction in precipitation), and +50% (50% increase in precipitation). Each treatment had 4 replicates for statistical evaluation of the reproducible. In the same period, small weather stations were set up in the test area. We collected soil samples from each site stratified into three soil depths: the crust layer (0-0.5 cm), a middle layer (0.5-3.0 cm) and deep layers (3-10 cm). There were three main findings: 1) The -50% was conducive to the accumulation of soil organic carbon (C) and soil microbial carbon (SMB-C) and increased the presence of soil fungi, while also increasing the soil total nitrogen (TN) content and presence of fungi in the crust layer and middle layer. +50% increased the number of soil bacteria in each soil layer, the crust layer and the soil microbial biomass nitrogen (SMB-N) content in the middle layer, and significantly reduced the soil C∶N, SMB-C∶SMB-N in each soil layer and number of fungi: ratio of number of bacteria, the contents of SOC, SMB-C, SMB-N, and the number of bacteria and fungi under different precipitation treatments all decreased significantly with soil depth; 2) Bacteria were more sensitive to precipitation reduction, while fungi were more resistant to aridity than bacteria. Soil bacteria and fungi had different adaptation strategies to changes in precipitation. 3) The -50% treatment was beneficial to the restoration of soil nutrients, especially to the restoration of soil nutrients in the middle layer underlying the crust layer, while the +50% treatment resulted in slight degradation of the crust layer and decreased deep layer soil nutrients.
