Abstract: To clarify the activities of various soil enzymes responding to the nitrogen deposition,we established a field experiment by adding ammonium nitrate to stimulate nitrogen deposition at alpine steppe in 2013. Four nitrogen fertilizer treatments (0,2,5,and 10 g·m-2·yr-1) were applied at 24 plots. We collected plant samples by the quadrat sampling method and soil samples by the double diaonal line in 2017. We analyzed the soil enzyme activity at four levels after 5 years of nitrogen addition. The results showed that the activity of invertase,cellulose,polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase significantly decreased due to nitrogen addition (P < 0.01). The activity of urease and neutral phosphatase was significantly increased by nitrogen addition (P < 0.01). Results from Pearson analysis and redundancy analysis showed that soil pH was not affected by nitrogen addition,which did not influence soil enzyme. Nitrogen increased the content of soil nitric nitrogen and ammoniacal nitrogen. The aboveground litter and underground biomass were also increased and root lignin content was decreased due to nitrogen addition. Soil microorganisms prefer low molecular weight organic nitrogen and carbon compounds,which would depress the carbon hydrolase and oxidase,and activate the urase. Nitrogen addition activated plants and increased the absorption of phosphorus,which would improve the activity of phosphatase. Therefore,the changes in the plant property under nitrogen addition were the most important factors for the soil enzyme at alpine steppe.

摘要: 为阐明藏北高寒草原土壤酶活性对氮沉降响应规律,本研究于2013年开展模拟氮沉降试验(氮添加水平:0,2,5和10 g·m-2·yr-1),采用样方法对植物取样,双对角线法对土壤取样,分析土壤酶活性在氮添加5年后的变异特征及影响土壤酶活性的主要环境要素。结果表明:蔗糖酶、纤维素酶、多酚氧化酶和过氧化氢酶活性在氮添加后显著降低(P<0.01),而脲酶和中性磷酸酶活性在氮添加后显著增加(P<0.01)。通过相关性分析和冗余分析表明:氮添加未显著影响土壤pH,土壤pH对土壤酶不存在显著影响。氮添加增加土壤活性氮含量,提高凋落物量和地下生物量,降低根系木质素含量;氮添加增加土壤中易分解的碳氮资源,降低碳相关水解酶和氧化酶活性,提高脲酶活性;氮添加提高了植物对磷的需求,增强磷酸酶活性。因此,氮添加引起植物特征的变化是影响土壤酶活性的主要因素。
