摘要/Abstract

摘要： 微生物残体氮是土壤氮库的重要组成部分，明确其对氮富集的响应对于优化草地养分管理至关重要。然而，学术界尚不清楚微生物残体氮沿不同氮水平的变化及其机制。本研究基于青藏高原高寒草甸持续十年的野外控制试验，设置6个氮添加水平(0、 2、4、8、16和32 g N m^-2 yr^-1)，探究微生物残体氮对不同氮水平的响应及其驱动因素。结果表明：在所有处理中，微生物残体氮占土壤总氮的67%-76%。微生物残体氮对氮添加呈现非线性响应，在低氮输入水平(2、4和8 g N m^-2 yr^-1)下保持稳定，而在较高氮添加水平(16和32 g N m^-2 yr^-1)下显著增加。氮添加引起的植物、土壤和微生物属性变化共同解释了微生物残体氮变异的60%。其中，土壤因素—主要包括矿物保护(Fe_o + Al_o)和土壤无机氮—是最重要的预测因子，解释了总变异的34%。上述发现揭示了微生物残体氮在土壤氮储存中的关键作用及其对氮富集的非线性响应特征，强调了优化氮素管理对提升土壤氮固持能力、维持氮库稳定性的重要意义。

Abstract: Microbial necromass nitrogen (N) constitutes a major component of soil N pools, and elucidating its response to N enrichment is essential for optimizing fertilizer management in grassland ecosystems. However, the effects of varying N addition levels on microbial necromass N and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we leveraged a decade-long field experiment in an alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), applying six N addition levels (0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 g N m^-2 yr^-1) to investigate the response of microbial necromass N and its key drivers. Microbial necromass N exhibited a nonlinear response to N enrichment, remaining stable under low N inputs (2, 4 and 8 g N m^-2 yr^-1) but increasing significantly at higher N addition levels (16 and 32 g N m^-2 yr^-1). Across all treatments, microbial necromass N accounted for 67%–76% of total soil N. Nitrogen-induced changes in plant, soil and microbial factors collectively explained 60% of the variation in microbial necromass N. Among these, soil factors were the dominant predictors, accounting for 34% of the total variance, with mineral protection (Fe_o + Al_o) and soil inorganic nitrogen (SIN) identified as the primary drivers. These findings highlight the pivotal role of microbial necromass N in soil N storage and its nonlinear response to N enrichment, underscoring the importance of effective N management for enhancing soil N retention and stability in alpine grasslands.
