摘要: 植物根系在土壤与地上部分之间起着关键连接作用,且根系会改变其形态响应放牧干扰,从而优化资源获取效率。为探究荒漠草原建群种短花针茅(Stipa breviflora)根系形态对放牧干扰的适应性及其影响因素,本研究依托内蒙古四子王旗荒漠草原长期放牧试验平台,研究了不同放牧强度[对照(CK)、轻度放牧(LG)、中度放牧(MG)和重度放牧(HG)]对短花针茅根系生物量、总根长、平均直径和总表面积的影响。结果表明:与CK相比,LG和MG处理显著提高了短花针茅根系生物量、总根长和总表面积,而HG处理显著降低了这些指标;所有放牧处理均显著降低了根系平均直径。冗余分析表明,土壤硝态氮含量是影响根系形态的关键环境因子。本研究表明,适度放牧有助于短花针茅根系生长,而过度放牧则产生抑制作用,这为荒漠草原的可持续管理和生态保护提供了科学依据。

Abstract: Plant root systems serve as a critical link between soil and aboveground components, modifying their morphology in response to grazing disturbances to optimize resource acquisition efficiency. To investigate the adaptive responses of root morphology to grazing and its influencing factors in Stipa breviflora (a dominant species of desert steppe), this study utilized a long-term grazing experimental platform in the desert steppe of Siziwang Banner, Inner Mongolia. We examined the effects of different grazing intensities [control (CK), light grazing (LG), moderate grazing (MG), and heavy grazing (HG)] on root biomass, total root length, average diameter, and total surface area of S. breviflora. Results showed that compared with CK, LG and MG treatments significantly increased root biomass, total root length, and total surface area, whereas HG treatment markedly reduced these parameters. All grazing treatments significantly decreased the average root diameter. Redundancy analysis identified soil nitrate nitrogen content as a key environmental factor influencing root morphology. This study demonstrates that moderate grazing enhances S. breviflora root growth, while overgrazing exerts inhibitory effects, providing scientific insights for sustainable management and ecological conservation in desert steppes.
