摘要:

运用混合线性模型、主成分分析和零模型方法,以乌拉特荒漠草原草本群落为研究对象,研究了短期养分添加(NPKμ,各10 g·m-2)和干扰对植物群落物种多样性、功能性状、土壤理化性质和群落构建过程的影响。结果表明:(1) 干扰和交互处理显著降低物种丰富度和β多样性,短期养分添加显著降低土壤pH,增加土壤电导率。(2) 干扰和养分添加处理下,优势物种沙生针茅(Stipa glareosa)、骆驼蓬(Peganum harmala)、猪毛菜(Salsola collina)和蒙古虫实(Corispermum mongolicum)的6个性状以及群落功能性状加权均值(Community-weighted mean, CWM)发生显著变化,揭示了干扰和养分添加促使群落优势种从保守型策略向获取型策略转变。(3) 两种零模型结果表明,对照下的草本群落构建趋向于随机性过程,干扰和交互处理下的群落构建趋向于确定性过程,养分添加处理下的群落构建趋向于较弱的确定性过程。荒漠草原草本植物群落通过优势物种和关键功能性状的改变来响应和适应养分添加与干扰。

Abstract:

The effects of short-term nutrient additions (NPKμ, 10 g·m-2) and disturbances on the species diversity, functional traits, soil properties, and community assembly mechanisms of the herbaceous community in the Urat desert steppe were examined. A mixed linear model, principal component analysis, and null model methods were utilized and both disturbance and interaction treatments were found to significantly reduce species richness and β diversity. Short-term nutrient additions significantly reduced soil pH but increased soil electrical conductivity. Six functional traits of the dominant species (i.e. Stipa glareosa, Peganum harmala, Salsola collina, Corispermum mongolicum) and six community-weighted mean significant changes under the disturbance and nutrient addition treatments were identified. The disturbance and nutrient additions promoted the transformation of the dominant species in the community from conservative strategies to acquisitive strategies. The results of the two null models revealed that community assembly under the control tended to be a stochastic process, while the disturbance and interaction treatments tended to be deterministic processes, and that of the nutrient addition treatments tended to be weaker deterministic processes. Plant communities in the desert steppe responded and adapted to the nutrient additions and disturbances through changes in the dominant species and their crucial functional traits.
