以腾格里沙漠东南缘的荒漠化草原为对象,设置添加0、1.75、3.5、7和14gN·m^-2·a^-15个氮素水平,研究了施氮对该地区土壤理化性质和土壤酶活性的影响.结果表明:施氮导致表层(0—10cm)和下层(10~20cm)土壤中总氮、NO3^--N、NH4+-N和有效氮的累积,土壤pH下降,对土壤有一定的酸化作用.施氮明显抑制了土壤酶活性,且不同酶活性在氮素投加水平、土层深度和年际间有所差异.土壤酶活性与土壤氮素水平、土壤pH及土壤水分之间存在显著相关关系.
To investigate the impacts of nitrogen (N) enrichment on soil physico-chemical property and soil enzyme activities in desert ecosystems, a field experiment by adding N at 0, 1.75, 3.5, 7, or 14 g N . m^-2 . a^-1 was conducted in a temperate desert steppe in the southeastern fringe of the Tengger Desert. The results showed that N addition led to accumulations of total N, NO3--N, NHa+-N, and available N in the upper soil (0-10 em) and subsoil (10-20 cm), however, reduc- tions in soil pH were observed, causing soil acidification to some extent. N addition pronouncedly inhibited soil enzyme activities, which were different among N addition levels, soil depths, and years, respectively. Soil enzyme activities were significantly correlated with the soil N level, soil pH, and soil moisture content, respectively.
