摘要:

以土壤动物为主的碎屑食物网是枯落物分解及养分释放的重要途径,也是维持干旱-半干旱区脆弱生态系统生物地球化学循环和稳定性的关键环节。目前,土壤动物对枯落物分解的影响机制研究已成为当前研究的热点,但土壤动物与枯落物分解如何响应气候变化缺乏系统总结。从气候变化对枯落物分解的影响、气候变化对土壤动物营养结构的影响和气候变化对枯落物分解和土壤动物关系的影响3个方面,阐明气候变化通过改变水热因子和枯落物质量来影响枯落物分解功能和土壤动物的影响规律。现阶段对枯落物中土壤动物的研究仍停留在群落水平,而关于枯落物中土壤动物的营养结构和功能性状分布特征,尚未可知。因此,未来研究中,应注重大尺度、长时间的野外观测与控制试验相结合的方法,而且在机理方面需注重土壤动物功能性状对枯落物分解作用的研究。

Abstract:

Detritus food webs dominated by soil fauna were the main method of litter decomposition and nutrient release, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the biogeochemical cycle and stability of fragile ecosystems. It was an interesting topic regarding the research on the effect of climate change on litter decomposition in arid and semi-arid regions. Climate change may have an important impact on litter decomposition, soil fauna, and related factors. However, there is no systematic summary of the underling mechanism. This review based on relevant literature at home and abroad, summarizes the impact of climate change (temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation) on litter decomposition, the impact of climate change (temperature and precipitation) on soil fauna, and impact of climate change on the relationship between litter decomposition and soil fauna. It was suggested that climate change affects the correlation between litter decomposition and soil fauna regarding changes in environmental factors and litter quality. We proposed that the following prospects should be paid more attention in the future: (1) large-scale and long-term research, as well as strict control experimental setup; (2) functional traits of soil fauna; (3) ecological functioning of soil fauna on litter decomposition. It is suggested that the litter and soil fauna ecological research should give more attention to the interaction of environmental factors under climate change, the variations of litter decomposition at different spatial scales, and model establishment.
