We measured the influences of soil fertility and plant community composition on Glomeromycota, tested prediction functional equilibrium hypothesis that increased availability resources will reduce abundance arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Communities plants AM fungi were in mixed roots Elymus nutans across an experimental fertilization gradient alpine meadow Tibetan Plateau. As predicted, reduced Glomeromycota as well species richness The response glomeromycotan was strongly linked to...
Diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is well studied in many ecosystems, but little known about AMF cold-dominated regions with very high altitude. Here, we examined communities associated two plant species the Tibet Plateau. Roots and rhizosphere soils Dracocephalum heterophyllum (pioneer species) Astragalus polycladus (late-successional were sampled at five sites altitude from 4500 to 4800 m a.s.l. A total 21 phylotypes identified roots spores following cloning sequencing 18S...
Climate change and land-use disturbances are supposed to have severely affected the degraded alpine grasslands on Tibetan Plateau. Artificial grassland establishment has been implemented as a restoration tool against degradation. However, impact of such degradation processes soil microbial communities quality is not clearly understood. Here, we aim investigate how dynamics community respond gradient that restoration, respectively. We conducted randomised experiment with four stages (light,...
Climate warming are supposed to have irreversible effects on the biodiversity and ecosystem functions of grassland. Alpine meadow is predominant in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which has attracted much attention because its sensitivity global changes. However, there still no unified understanding impact relationship between diversity productivity alpine meadows. In this study, we conducted multi-gradient warming, used fiberglass open-top chambers (OTCs) raise temperature, based investigation...
Abstract Biotic nitrogen (N) retention is an important ecosystem function in the context of ongoing land‐use intensification, N deposition and global warming. However, a paucity experimental evidence limits understanding how different plant community components influence terrestrial ecosystems. In this investigation, we conducted 15 labelling experiment to test properties, including species richness/diversity, dominance functional traits, uptake under nutrient availabilities. A 3‐year...
Slope aspect is an important topographic feature that can influence local environmental conditions. While strong effects of slope on aboveground and belowground communities have been frequently elucidated, how affects soil nitrogen (N) cycling microbes remains unclear. Here, we characterized the N-cycling south- north-facing slopes in alpine ecosystem, by quantifying (qPCR) high-throughput sequencing six genes involved N-fixation (nifH), nitrification (archaeal bacterial amoA)...
Abstract The succession of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities during ecosystem development has received widespread attention, but the ecological mechanism that drives AMF restoration process in alpine meadow ecosystems remains unclear. Here, we treated ‘Black Beach’ (severely degraded meadow) as baseline for (0 year), and selected revegetated grassland Elymus nutans with different planting times (3, 7, 10, 14 years) to analyze species composition community mixed roots (at...
Pedicularis kansuensis is an indicator species of grassland degradation. Its population expansion dramatically impacts the production and service function ecosystem, but effects mechanisms are still unclear. In order to understand ecological P. kansuensis, three patches different densities were selected in alpine grassland, diversity indexes, biomasses, soil physicochemical properties, mechanism among them analyzed. The results showed that increased richness index, Shannon−Wiener index...
Both deterministic and stochastic processes are expected to drive the assemblages of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, but little is known about relative importance these during spreading toxic plants. Here, species composition phylogenetic structure AM fungal communities colonizing roots a plant, Ligularia virgaurea, its neighborhood plants, were analyzed in patches with different individual densities L. virgaurea (represents degree). Community compositions fungi both root systems changed...
Revegetation is widely used to enhance degraded topsoil recovery with the enhancements of soil nutrient accumulation and structure stabilization. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important for allocation carbon into formation aggregates. Thus, we hypothesized that AMF could construct more niches other microbes during revegetation, making keystone taxa soil. Soil fungal bacterial communities were investigated under a revegetation experiment correlation networks between bacteria...
The effects of climate warming and season on soil organic carbon (SOC) have received widespread attention, but how affects the seasonal changes SOC remains unclear. Here, we established a gradient experiment to investigate plant attributes physicochemical microbial properties that were potentially associated with in at beginning (May) end (August) growing an alpine meadow ecosystem Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. August was lower than May, storage decreased by average 18.53 million grams per hectare....
