Thus, we document the basic characteristics of changes in the water and heat dynamics in response to experimental warming in a typical alpine swamp meadow ecosystem. Data sets under open top chambers(OTC) and the control manipulations were collected over a complete year. The results show that annual(2008) air temperatures of OTC-1 and OTC-2 were 6.7 °C and 3.5 °C warmer than the control. Rising temperature promotes plant growth and development. The freeze-thaw and isothermal days of OTCs appeared more frequently than the control, owing to comparably higher water and better vegetation conditions. OTCs soil moisture decreased with the decrease of soil depth; however, there was an obviously middle dry aquifer of the control, which is familiar in QTP. Moreover, experimental warming led to an increase in topsoil water content due to poorly drained swamp meadow ecosystem with higher organic matter content and thicker root horizons. The results of this study will have some contributions to alpine cold ecosystem water-heat process and water cycle under climate change.展开更多
为探讨氮沉降对高寒沼泽草甸土壤养分及其群落生物量的影响,本研究对风火山地区3种氮添加处理下(0,5和10 g N·m-2·a-1)土壤养分及植物群落生物量展开研究。结果显示:外源氮素添加使得沼泽草甸土壤趋向酸化、土壤有机碳及全氮...为探讨氮沉降对高寒沼泽草甸土壤养分及其群落生物量的影响,本研究对风火山地区3种氮添加处理下(0,5和10 g N·m-2·a-1)土壤养分及植物群落生物量展开研究。结果显示:外源氮素添加使得沼泽草甸土壤趋向酸化、土壤有机碳及全氮含量发生改变,显著影响了植物对土壤养分的吸收利用,除繁殖期土壤有效氮显著增加外,其他时期显著降低;外源氮素添加使得群落地上生物量增加,总生物量与地下生物量除返青期显著增加外,其他时期明显减少;整个生长季地下生物量的分配比例随施氮的增加而下降;土壤有效氮含量与植物群落生物量及其分配均显著相关(P<0.01)。综上所述,长江源区高寒沼泽草甸土壤有效氮和植物群落生物量对土壤氮素状况的变化反应敏感,在有效养分匮乏的高寒沼泽草甸添加氮素能够促进植物地上部分的增长,从而改变其自身光合产物的分配模式。展开更多
