利用67个样点数据,研究了青藏高原高寒草原生态系统土壤碳氮比的分布特征。结果表明：（1）在水平方向上,土壤碳氮比呈现出西北高、东南低的总体态势和斑块状交错分布的格局,碳氮比的高值区主要集中在藏北高原腹地和喜马拉雅山北麓湖盆区,不同草地型和不同自然地带土壤碳氮比差异显著;（2）土壤剖面自上而下,不同草地型碳氮比可分为低-高-低型、由高到低型、由低到高型、高-低-高-低型和高-低-高型等5个类型。表土层（0—20 cm）与底土层（30—40 cm）土壤碳氮比差异显著;（3）土壤碳氮比与与最冷月均气温、年均蒸发量、年均相对湿度和土壤全氮含量呈极显著正相关关系,而与年均日照时数、年均气温、速效钾含量呈极显著负相关关系,这些环境因素对土壤碳氮比影响从大到小的顺序是年均相对湿度〉年均日照时数〉最冷月均气温〉年均气温〉年均蒸发量〉土壤全氮含量〉土壤速效钾含量。

英文摘要：

Regional distribution regularities on soil C/N have been a hot topic in recent years, but currently there were few studies reporting the soil C/N distribution in alpine steppe ecosystem under different vegetation zones in Qinhai-Tibetan plateau. In order to reveal the spatial distribution characteristics of the soil C/N on the alpine steppe ecosystem in different vegetation zones, and to provide scientific basis for understanding a regional specific acclimation of vegetation to climate change in Qinhai-Tibetan plateau, we surveyed the soil C/N of alpine steppe ecosystem under different vegetation zones. Collectively, we sampled 67 sampling points. The soil C/N of the alpine steppe ecosystem in Qinhai-Tibetan plateau was also compared with that of 14 natural transects in areas outside the plateau. The results showed that： （1） Along the horizontal direction in Qinhai-Tibetan plateau, C/N appeared higher in northwest and lower in southeast. The higher C/N appeared mainly in the regions with a concentration in the hinterland of northern part of Tibetan Plateau and in the lake basin region of the northern foot of Himalayas. There were significant differences of C/N among different grassland types and natural transects. （2） Along the vertical direction of the soil profiles from aboveground to underground, it could be divided into 5 types of low-high-low, from high to low, from low to high, high-low-high-low and high-low-high of C/N distribution patterns among different grassland types and natural transects, and there was significant difference of C/N between the surface soil depths from 0 cm to 20 cm and the deeper soil depths from 30 cm to 40 cm. （3） C/N was significantly and positively correlated with average temperature in the coldest month, average annual evaporation, average annual relative humidity and soil total nitrogen content, respectively. The C/N was significantly correlated with average annual sunshine hours, average annual temperature and soil available K content negatively, respectively. Th
