Water- and plant-mediated responses of soil respiration to topography, fire, and nitrogen fertilization in a semiarid grassland in northern China
Soil respiration is one of the major carbon (C) fluxes between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere and plays an important role in regulating the responses of ecosystem and global C cycling to natural and anthropogenic perturbations. A field experiment was conducted between April 2005 and October 2006 in a semiarid grassland in northern China to examine effects of topography, fire, nitroge...
متن کاملThe impact of grassland management on biogeochemical cycles involving carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus
Grassland introduction into intensively managed agricultural landscapes may enhance soil organic matter (SOM) content and ecosystem services. However, the magnitude of this effect depends on grassland management practices, and their influence on the soil system. The aim of this paper is to highlight these impacts and their consequences for SOM dynamics and element cycling. We focused in particu...
متن کاملDrought and Carbon Cycling of Grassland Ecosystems under Global Change: A Review
In recent years, the increased intensity and duration of droughts have dramatically altered the structure and function of grassland ecosystems, which have been forced to adapt to this change in climate. Combinations of global change drivers such as elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration, warming, nitrogen (N) deposition, grazing, and land-use change have influenced the impact that droughts have...
متن کاملEffects of Nitrogen Addition and Fire on Plant Nitrogen Use in a Temperate Steppe
Plant nitrogen (N) use strategies have great implications for primary production and ecosystem nutrient cycling. Given the increasing atmospheric N deposition received by most of the terrestrial ecosystems, understanding the responses of plant N use would facilitate the projection of plant-mediated N cycling under global change scenarios. The effects of N deposition on plant N use would be affe...
متن کاملBurning in a New Zealand Snow-tussock Grassland: Effects on Soil Microbial Biomass and Nitrogen and Phosphorus Availability
Although fire is a controversial management tool in New Zealand tussock grasslands, it can be an important factor in their pastoral use (Basher, Meurk and Tate, 1990). Its effects on various properties of these ecosystems have, consequently, been widely studied. Most biochemical studies of the effects of burning on grassland soils have concentrated on the availability of nutrient elements, espe...
