摘要
选取陕西省延安市的富县、甘泉县、安塞县和榆林市的靖边县、横山县、榆阳区为研究区域,测定和分析研究区植物叶片和不同土层土壤碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)含量,阐明植物叶片和土壤化学计量学特征随纬度梯度的变化模式,为预测黄土高原植物营养元素的限制情况和生态系统的土壤养分状况提供依据.结果表明:1在35.95°~38.36°N的纬度范围内,植物叶片C、N、P含量的变化范围分别是336.95~477.38、18.09~33.17和1.07~1.73 mg·g-1,平均值分别为442.9、25.79和1.37 mg·g-1,变异系数分别为11.9%、17.4%和13.3%;植物叶片C、N、P含量与纬度之间存在显著的相关关系,但植物叶片C含量与叶片N、P含量随纬度的变化存在差异:随着纬度的升高,植物叶片C含量随之降低;而叶片N、P含量随之升高.植物叶片C∶N、C∶P均随着纬度的升高,呈现减小趋势;而植物叶片N∶P与纬度的相关关系并不显著.20~10、10~20和20~40 cm这3个土层土壤C和N的空间分布具有一致性,均随着纬度的升高呈指数减小的趋势,且含量随着土层的加深逐级递减;土壤P的空间分布与C、N不同,随着纬度的升高呈现先增加后减少的趋势.0~10 cm、10~20 cm土层土壤C∶N随纬度的升高变化不显著,20~40 cm土壤C∶N随纬度的升高明显下降;3个土层的土壤C∶P、N∶P均随纬度的升高呈指数减少.3植物C、C∶N和C∶P与不同土层的土壤C、N、P均呈现显著的相关关系,植物N、P与土壤C、N呈现显著的相关关系,而叶片N∶P与不同土层土壤的C、N、P相关关系均不显著.研究表明,植物C、N、P含量与纬度之间存在一定的相关性,而植物与土壤的C、N、P含量之间的相关性并不一致,且与全球尺度相比,黄土高原地区草本植物生长更易受磷限制.
Field investigations and sampling were conducted in Loess Plateau,including Fu County,Ganquan County,Ansai County,Jingbian County and Hengshan County and Yuyang District. Our objective was to examine changes of leaf and soil stoichiometry characteristics along latitudinal gradient in Loess Plateau,and to provide references for the prediction of soil nutrient status of the ecosystem and constraints of plant nutrition elements in Loess Plateau. The results showed that 1Across the 35. 95°-38. 36°N latitude gradient,leaf C,N and P stoichiometry were ranging from 336. 95 to 477. 38 mg·g-1for C,from 18. 09 to 33. 173 mg·g-1for N and from 1. 07 to 1. 73 mg·g-1for P,the arithmetic means were 442. 9 mg·g-1,25. 79 mg·g-1and 1. 37 mg·g-1,separately,the variation coefficients were 11. 9%,17. 4% and 13. 3%. There were obvious correlation between leaf C,N,P and latitude,leaf C,C∶ N ratio and C∶ P ratio significantly decreased with the increasing latitude,while leaf N and P significantly increased with the increasing latitude. The relationship between N∶ P ratio and latitude was not significant. 2The content of soil organic C and soil total N decreased with increasing latitude and soil layer. In contrast,with the increase of latitude,soil P increased and then decreased. In the 0-10 cm,10-20 cm soil layers,soil C ∶ N ratio did not change significantly with latitude,while in the 20-40 cm layer,C ∶ N ratio decreased obviously,but soil C∶ P and N∶ P ratios decreased with the increasing latitude in all soil layers. 3 Leaf C,C∶ N and C∶ P ratios were correlated to soil organic C,soil total N and soil total P in all soil layers,leaf N and P were correlated to soil organic C and soil total N,while leaf N∶ P ratio was not correlated to soil organic C,soil total N and soil total P. There was a certain correlation between the leaf C,N,P and latitude,however,the correlations between leaf and soil C,N,P were inconsistent. These results demonstrate thatthe plants were under P limitation in Loess Plateau.
