摘要
研究生态系统碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)密度分布和储量对于理解生态系统碳循环和养分循环的机制和规律有重要意义。现有的相关研究多集中在森林和草地生态系统。在中国北方,灌丛生境水分和土壤条件差异很大,这为研究生态系统C、N、P密度与储量的分布格局提供了良好条件。该研究调查了433个中国北方温带灌丛样地的生物量、凋落物以及土壤等组分的有机C及N、P含量,据此计算出中国北方灌丛生态系统有机C及N、P密度和储量。结果表明:中国北方灌丛平均生态系统有机C及N、P密度分别为69.8 Mg·hm^(–2)、7.3 Mg·hm^(–2)、4.2 Mg·hm^(–2)。其中,生物量C、N、P密度分别为5.1 Mg·hm^(–2)、11.5×10^(–2)Mg·hm^(–2)、8.6×10^(–3) Mg·hm^(–2),生物量C、N、P密度与降水和土壤养分关系显著;凋落物C、N、P密度分别为1.4 Mg·hm^(–2)、3.8×10^(–2)Mg·hm^(–2)、2.5×10^(–3) Mg·hm^(–2),凋落物C、N、P密度与温度和降水关系显著;1 m深土壤的平均有机C及N、P密度分别为64.0Mg·hm^(–2)、7.1 Mg·hm^(–2)、4.2 Mg·hm^(–2),土壤有机C及N密度与温度和降水关系显著。中国北方灌丛生态系统的总有机C及N、P储量分别为1.7 Pg、164.9 Tg、124.8 Tg。其中生物量C、N、P储量分别为128.4 Tg、3.1 Tg、0.2 Tg;凋落物C、N、P储量分别为8.4 Tg、0.45 Tg、0.027 Tg;土壤是最大的C、N、P库,1 m深土壤有机C及N、P储量分别为1.6 Pg、161.3 Tg、124.6 Tg。
Aims Studying storage of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in ecosystems is of significance in understanding carbon and nutrient cycling. Previous researches in ecosystem C, N and P storage have biased towards forests and grasslands. Shrubland ecosystems encompass a wide gradient in precipitation and soil conditions, providing a unique opportunity to explore the patterns of ecosystem C, N and P storage in relation to climate and soil properties.
Methods We estimated densities and storage of organic C, N and P of shrubland ecosystems in Northern China based on data from 433 shrubland sites.
Important findings The main results are summarized as follows: the average organic C, N and P densities in temperate shrubland ecosystems across Northern China were 69.8 Mg·hm^-2, 7.3 Mg·hm^-2 and 4.2 Mg·hm^-2, respectively. The average plant C, N and P densities were 5.1 Mg·hm^-2, 11.5 × 10^-2 Mg·hm^-2 and 8.6 × 10^-3 Mg·hm^-2, respectively, and were significantly correlated with precipitation and soil nutrient concentrations. The average litter C, N and P densities were 1.4 Mg·hm^-2, 3.8 ×10^-2 Mg·hm^-2, 2.5 ×10^-3 Mg·hm^-2 and were significantly correlated with temperature and precipitation. The average soil organic C, N and P densities in the top 1 m were 64.0 Mg·hm^-2, 7.1 Mg·hm^-2 and 4.2 Mg·hm^-2, respectively and the former two were significantly correlated with temperature and precipitation. The total organic C, N and P storage of shrublands in Northern China were 1.7 Pg, 164.9 Tg and 124.8 Tg, respectively. The plant C, N and P storage were 128.4 Tg, 3.1 Tg and 0.2 Tg, respectively. The litter C, N and P storage were 8.4 Tg, 0.45 Tg, 0.027 Tg, respectively. Soil is the largest C, N and P pool in the studied area. The soil organic C, N and P storage in the top 1 meter were 1.6 Pg, 161.3 Tg and 124.6 Tg, respectively.
