草原土壤儲存有439 Gt有機(jī)碳（SOC），在調(diào)節(jié)區(qū)域乃至全球氣候變化進(jìn)程中起著重要作用。然而，全球氣候變化背景下，大氣氮沉降的“施肥效應(yīng)”強(qiáng)烈地影響著土壤碳儲存。因此，明確高寒草甸SOC組分對氮、磷富集的響應(yīng)和潛在機(jī)制至關(guān)重要。
西南民族大學(xué)高寒濕地生態(tài)保護(hù)研究創(chuàng)新團(tuán)隊(duì)馬文明副研究員課題組依托青藏高原生態(tài)保護(hù)與畜牧業(yè)高科技研究示范基地和四川若爾蓋高寒濕地生態(tài)系統(tǒng)國家野外科學(xué)觀測研究站以紅原高寒草甸為研究對象進(jìn)行了長期氮磷添加實(shí)驗(yàn)。采取隨機(jī)區(qū)組用尿素(CO(NH2)2)和過磷酸鈣(Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O)設(shè)計(jì)7個施肥梯度，氮肥施尿素(46.65%N)，磷肥施過磷酸鈣(16%P2O5)，施肥梯度分別為（0g尿素+0g過磷酸鈣）/m2(CK)、（10g尿素）/m2(N10)、（30g尿素）/m2(N30)、（10g過磷酸鈣）/m2(P10)、（30g過磷酸鈣）/m2(P30)（5g尿素+5g過磷酸鈣）/m2(NP10)、（15g尿素+15g過磷酸鈣）/m2(NP30)。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，氮和磷添加導(dǎo)致 SOC含量增加19.95%–36.66%；在相同施肥條件下，SOC含量隨著施肥梯度的增加而增加，在N30處理下達(dá)到最高；N和P添加促進(jìn)了脂肪族碳和芳香族碳的富集；與其他處理相比，NP30處理下SOC的穩(wěn)定性最高，而P10處理下SOC的穩(wěn)定性最低。表明N和P添加促進(jìn)了不穩(wěn)定碳的損失和穩(wěn)定碳的富集，從而提高了SOC的穩(wěn)定性，促進(jìn)了高寒草甸SOC的封存。總體而言，氮磷添加改變了高寒草甸土壤有機(jī)碳的理化性質(zhì)以及SOC的官能團(tuán)組成，進(jìn)而促進(jìn)了SOC積累。因此，在退化的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)中添加氮和磷可能是改善土壤碳固存的有效措施。
