北京东灵山地区暖温带森林生态系统能量环境和能量固定的研究

水文研究了北京东灵山地区落叶阔叶林和人工油松林的能量环境和能量固定，以及相关的生态学过程。重点研究了落叶阔叶林林冠表面、灌木层表面和草本层表面的总辐射、直射辐射、散射辐射、反射辐射、净辐射和长波将辐射、分光谱辐射，强调了自然条件下斜坡对上述辐射分量的影响。上述分量随森林内层次的下降而剧减，光谱组成也发生变化，长波辐射和短波红外辐射所受的影响较小。天气对辐射通量的日进程和月际变化都有重大影响。 落叶阔叶林主要树种叶片净光合速率在7月底8月初达到最大值，以辽东栎的最高，五角枫最低。除大叶白蜡外，正午或稍后有明显的午休现象。油松小技的光合速率上层）中层）下层，7月底和8月全月都是光合速率高峰期。白天净光合速率在中午没有明显的“午休”现象 自然环境下油松不同年龄的针叶的光合速率与光强度的关系近似于一种抛物线关系，而不是人工控制条件下测定所出现的双曲线关系。 主要落叶阔叶乔灌木和油松树干的呼吸速率7月份最高，10月最低，24小时连续测定结果表明，乔木树种树干呼吸在下午或傍晚达到最大值，是因为树干温度落后于空气温度的变化节奏造成的。 以油松为例，研究了树木侧枝长的年增长规律，发现侧枝年增长量随着年份发生有规律的变化，与气候因子的关联分析与回归分析表明，枝长的年增长量与空气温度、年降水量和年蒸发量关系最为密切。最后利用光合生产潜力逐步修正的途径和Lieth-Box途径，估算了被研究森林的潜在生产力，并分析了造成估计值偏高或偏低的原因。

北京东灵山暖温带典型植被类型物种构成及物种多样性对氮素转化过程的影响

通过调查东灵山地区7个典型植被类型的物种多样性，并测定各林型中植物叶片养分特征，凋落物品质，土壤理化特性，豆科植物的生物固氮作用以及土壤有机质的净N矿化与硝化作用，研究了不同林型及其物种多样性对氮素转化过程的可能影响。结果表明： 1) 各林型乔灌草三层13个物种多样性指数之间都不同程度存在差异，且都表现基本一致的大小顺序，各样地乔灌草三层3个丰富度指数和5个多样性指数之间大都表现草本层>灌木层>乔木层的大小顺序。 2) 林型对植物叶片养分特征、叶片凋落物品质指标、土壤的大多数理化特性都有显著影响，其中，落叶阔叶林与针叶林之间的差异最为明显，优势种不同的针叶林之间也不同程度地存在差异。各林型物种多样性对植物叶片养分特征，凋落物品质和土壤理化特性也都不同程度存在显著影响，且乔灌草三层的物种多样性的影响不同。我们的结果支持物种多样性对生态系统过程存在显著影响的观点。 3) 胡枝子(Lespedeza bicolor)％FNDA值较低，在0～53.3％之间，与国外学者对某些木本豆科固氮植物的研究结果接近，但低于三叶草、野豌豆等草本豆科固氮植物。胡枝子生物固氮具有明显的季节差异，不同样地生境对胡枝子％FNDA值也存在显著影响，大都都表现铁塔辽东栎样地>重力点样地>站下灌丛样地>垭口样地的趋势。除胡枝子之外的其他豆科植物的％FNDA都高于胡枝子，且存在种间差异，以三籽两型豆(Amphicarpaea capillipes)最高(100％)，歪头菜(Vicia unijuga)最低(平均66.4％)，这些结果与国外相关研究接近。不同林型之间和同一林型不同样地之间也影响豆科植物的％FNDA。东灵山地区有相当数量的植物种具有和固氮植物相近的δ15N值和全N含量，具有潜在的生物固氮能力。6个林型中所有豆科植物的％FNDA平均值主要受乔木层和草本层物种多样性的影响，乔木层和草本层物种多样性提高，豆科植物的％FNDA将随之显著降低。 4) 气温、土壤温度和降水量显著影响各林型净氮硝化速率的季节动态，都表现为温度升高，降水量增加，净氮硝化速率也随之增大。 5) 在不同取样时间，不同林型在土壤NH4+、N03-含量，矿化、硝化速率以及年度总净矿化、硝化量之间均不同程度存在显著差异，其中，以辽东栎落叶阔叶林与针叶林之间，常绿针叶林与落叶针叶林之间，纯林与混交林之间的差异最为明显。 6) 土壤初始N0_3含量与年度总净硝化量，年度总净矿化量及其占TKN的百分比呈显著正相关关系;植物叶片全N浓度与净氮矿化、硝化作用呈显著负相关：植物叶片凋落物的品质指标与净氮矿化、硝化作用没有显著相关。 7) 胡枝子固氮作用(％FNDA值)越强，土壤有机氮的净硝化量就越大，胡枝子在从大气中获取大量N，的同时，很可能会增加氮素的淋溶损失量。胡枝子固氮作用(％FNDA值)与净氮矿化量不存在显著相关关系。 8) 只有乔木层和草本层部分种多样性指数对净氮矿化、硝化量存在显著影响。乔木层均匀度提高，土壤净氮碳化量将随之增大;而草本层物种多样性提高，均匀度提高，净氮矿化、硝化作用将随之降低，草本层植物对土壤氮素矿化作用具有显著抑制作用。 9) 落叶阔叶林与针叶林的供氮能力和维持无机氮素的能力之间存在比较明显的差异，而不同针叶林的矿化／硝化作用也有所差别。其中，辽东栎落叶阔叶林的供氮能力和维持氮素能力均高于针叶林和山杏灌丛;油松林的供氮能力与防止氮素损失的能力显然要强于落叶松林和山杏灌丛。 10) 尽管箭叶锦鸡儿灌丛植物叶片与凋落物中全N、全P浓度在大多数取样点上都低于硕桦(高于草甸)，但表层土中全N浓度高于硕桦和草甸，且其土壤有机质的供氮能力以及维持氮素能力都高于硕桦林和草甸，表明，锦鸡儿灌丛为侵入草甸和硕桦入侵提供了良好的养分条件，在该演替序列的发展过程中起了一定的推动作用。

Effects of nitrogen fertilization on soil respiration in temperate grassland in Inner Mongolia, China

Nitrogen addition to soil can play a vital role in influencing the losses of soil carbon by respiration in N-deficient terrestrial ecosystems. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilization (HN, 200 kg N ha(-1) year(-1); MN, 100 kg N ha(-1) year(-1); LN, 50 kg N ha(-1) year(-1)) on soil respiration compared with non-fertilization (CK, 0 kg N ha(-1) year(-1)), from July 2007 to September 2008, in temperate grassland in Inner Mongolia, China. Results showed that N fertilization did not change the seasonal patterns of soil respiration, which were mainly controlled by soil heat-water conditions. However, N fertilization could change the relationships between soil respiration and soil temperature, and water regimes. Soil respiration dependence on soil moisture was increased by N fertilization, and the soil temperature sensitivity was similar in the treatments of HN, LN, and CK treatments (Q (10) varied within 1.70-1.74) but was slightly reduced in MN treatment (Q (10) = 1.63). N fertilization increased soil CO2 emission in the order MN > HN > LN compared with the CK treatment. The positive effects reached a significant level for HN and MN (P < 0.05) and reached a marginally significant level for LN (P = 0.059 < 0.1) based on the cumulative soil respiration during the 2007 growing season after fertilization (July-September 2007). Furthermore, the differences between the three fertilization treatments and CK reached the very significant level of 0.01 on the basis of the data during the first entire year after fertilization (July 2007-June 2008). The annual total soil respiration was 53, 57, and 24% higher than in the CK plots (465 g m(-2) year(-1)). However, the positive effects did not reach the significant level for any treatment in the 2008 growing season after the second year fertilization (July-September 2008, P > 0.05). The pairwise differences between the three N-level treatments were not significant in either year (P > 0.05).

Drivers of soil net nitrogen mineralization in the temperate grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

Soil net nitrogen mineralization (NNM) of four grasslands across the elevation and precipitation gradients was studied in situ in the upper 0-10 cm soil layer using the resin-core technique in Xilin River basin, Inner Mongolia, China during the growing season of 2006. The primary objectives were to examine variations of NNM among grassland types and the main influencing factors. These grasslands included Stipa baicalensis (SB), Aneulolepidum Chinense (AC), Stipa grandis (SG), and Stipa krylovii (SK) grassland. The results showed that the seasonal variation patterns of NNM were similar among the four grasslands, the rates of NNM and nitrification were highest from June to August, and lowest in September and October during the growing season. The rates of NNM and nitrification were affected significantly by the incubation time, and they were positively correlated with soil organic carbon content, total soil nitrogen (TN) content, soil temperature, and soil water content, but the rates of NNM and nitrification were negatively correlated with available N, and weakly correlated with soil pH and C:N ratio. The sequences of the daily mean rates of NNM and nitrification in the four grasslands during the growing season were AC > SG > SB > SK, and TN content maybe the main affecting factors which can be attributed to the land use type.
