P and K additions enhance canopy N retention and accelerate the associated leaching
Biogeochemistry(2019)
摘要
This study evaluated the interactive effects of combined phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) additions on canopy nitrogen (N) retention (CNR) and subsequent canopy leaching at a long-term N manipulation site on Whim bog in south Scotland. Ambient deposition is 8 kg N ha −1 year −1 and an additional 8, 24, and 56 kg N ha −1 year −1 of either ammonium (NH 4 + ) or nitrate (NO 3 − ) with or without P and K has been applied over 11 years. Throughfall N deposition below Calluna vulgaris and foliar N and P concentrations were assessed. Results showed that 60% for low dose and 53% for high dose of NO 3 − contrasting with 80% for low dose and 38% for high dose of NH 4 + onto Calluna was retained by Calluna canopy. The CNR was enhanced by P and K addition in which 84% of NO 3 − and 83% of NH 4 + for high dose were retained. CNR for NO 3 − increased the canopy leaching of dissolved organic N (DON) and associated organic anions. NH 4 + retention increased canopy leaching of magnesium and calcium through ion exchange. Even over 11-years N exposure without P and K, foliage N:P ratio of Calluna did not increase, suggesting that N exposure did not lead to N saturation of Calluna at Whim bog. Our study concluded that increases in P and K availability enhance CNR of Calluna but accelerate the associated canopy leaching of DON and base cations, depending on foliar N status.
