An experiments were carried out with treatments differing in nitrogen supply (0, 5 and 15 g N/m2) and CO2 levels (350 and 700 micromol/mol) using OTC (open top chamber) equipment to investigate the biomass of Calamagrostis angustifolia and soil active carbon contents after two years. The results showed that elevated CO2 concentration increased the biomass of C. angustifolia and the magnitude of response varied with each growth period. Elevated CO2 concentration has increased aboveground biomass by 16.7% and 17.6% during the jointing and heading periods and only 3.5% and 9.4% during dough and maturity periods. The increases in belowground biomass due to CO2 elevation was 26.5%, 34.0% and 28.7% during the heading, dough and maturity periods, respectively. The responses of biomass to enhanced CO2 concentrations are differed in N levels. Both the increase of aboveground biomass and belowground biomass were greater under high level of N supply (15 g N/m2). Elevated CO2 concentration also increased the allocation of biomass and carbon in root. Under elevated CO2 concentration, the average values of active carbon tended to increase. The increases of soil active soil contents followed the sequence of microbial biomass carbon (10.6%) > dissolved organic carbon (7.5%) > labile oxidable carbon (6.6%) > carbohydrate carbon (4.1%). Stepwise regressions indicated there were significant correlations between the soil active carbon contents and plant biomass. Particularly, microbial biomass carbon, labile oxidable carbon and carbohydrate carbon were found to be correlated with belowground biomass, while dissolved organic carbon has correlation with aboveground biomass. Therefore, increased biomass was regarded as the main driving force for the increase in soil active organic carbon under elevated CO2 concentration.
采用开顶气室(OTC)设备,进行了不同氮供应(0、5 和 15 g N/m2)和 CO2 水平(350 和 700 μmol/mol)处理的实验,以研究两年后羊草生物量和土壤活性碳含量的变化。结果表明,CO2 浓度升高增加了羊草的生物量,其响应幅度随每个生长时期而变化。CO2 浓度升高使拔节期和抽穗期地上生物量分别增加了 16.7%和 17.6%,而在面团期和成熟期仅增加了 3.5%和 9.4%。由于 CO2 升高,地下生物量的增加分别在抽穗期、面团期和成熟期增加了 26.5%、34.0%和 28.7%。在不同氮水平下,生物量对增强 CO2 浓度的响应是不同的。在高氮供应(15 g N/m2)下,地上生物量和地下生物量的增加都更大。CO2 浓度升高还增加了根生物量和碳的分配。在 CO2 浓度升高的情况下,活性碳的平均值趋于增加。土壤活性土壤含量的增加遵循微生物生物量碳(10.6%)>溶解有机碳(7.5%)>易氧化碳(6.6%)>碳水化合物碳(4.1%)的顺序。逐步回归表明,土壤活性碳含量与植物生物量之间存在显著相关性。特别是,微生物生物量碳、易氧化碳和碳水化合物碳与地下生物量相关,而溶解有机碳与地上生物量相关。因此,增加生物量被认为是 CO2 浓度升高下土壤活性有机碳增加的主要驱动力。
