Abstract: Soil aggregates are closely related to soil organic carbon sequestration. Our study relied on the adaptive management technology platform of the alpine grassland-livestock system in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,and systematically examined soil aggregate stability and its associated organic carbon content in 0~30 cm soil layer under different grazing intensity treatments. The results showed that compared to the ungrazed treatment (CK),moderate grazing resulted in a 13.43% and 12.50% increase in the macroaggregate content and mean weight diameter (MWD) in the 0~10 cm soil layer (surface layer),respectively. But all grazing treatments decreased the macroaggregate content and MWD in 10~30 cm soil layer (subsurface layer). Compared with the CK,the macroaggregate organic carbon content under moderate grazing decreased by 8.02% in the surface layer,while moderate and heavy grazing significantly decreased the macroaggregate contributing rates for soil organic carbon in the subsurface layer by 29.85% and 32.75%,respectively. The MWD and geometric mean diameter of soil aggregates significantly positively correlated with macroaggregate content and macroaggregate contributing rates for soil organic carbon,while significantly negatively correlated with microaggregate,silt and clay aggregate content and contributing rates for organic carbon. The results showed that the effects of grazing intensity on aggregate characteristics of the subsurface layer were more significant than that of the surface layer,which could provide a theoretical basis for exploring the effects of grazing management on soil quality and structure of alpine grassland.

摘要: 土壤团聚体与土壤有机碳固存密切相关。本研究依托青藏高原高寒草地家畜系统适应性管理技术平台,系统研究了0~30 cm土层不同放牧强度对土壤团聚体稳定性和有机碳含量影响。结果表明,与禁牧对照相比,中度放牧处理下0~10 cm土层(表层)土壤大团聚体质量分数和平均重量直径(Mean weight diameter,MWD)分别提高了13.43%和12.50%。所有放牧处理均降低了10~30 cm土层(亚表层)土壤大团聚体质量分数和MWD。与对照相比,中度放牧下表层土壤大团聚体有机碳含量显著降低了8.02%;中度和重度放牧处理下,亚表层土壤大团聚体有机碳贡献率分别降低了29.85%和32.75%。MWD与大团聚体质量分数和有机碳贡献率呈显著正相关,与微团聚体和粉粘粒团聚体质量分数及有机碳贡献率呈显著负相关。该研究表明放牧强度对亚表层土壤团聚体特征的影响高于表层土壤,这为探究放牧管理对高寒草地土壤质量和结构影响提供理论基础。
