英文摘要Although alpine meadows of Tibet are expected to be strongly affected by climatic warming, it remains unclear how soil organic C (SOC), total N (TN), ammonium N (NH4 (+)-N), nitrate N (NO3 (+)-N), and dissolved organic C (DOC) and N (DON) respond to warming. This study aims to investigate the responses of these C and N pools to short- term experimental warming in an alpine meadow of Tibet. A warming experiment using open top chambers was conducted in an alpine meadow at three elevations (i.e., a low (4313 m), mid- (4513 m), and high (4693 m) elevation) in May 2010. Topsoil (0-20 cm depth) samples were collected in July-September 2011. Experimental warming increased soil temperature by similar to 1-1.4 degrees C but decreased soil moisture by similar to 0.04 m(3) m(-3). Experimental warming had little effects on SOC, TN, DOC, and DON, which may be related to lower warming magnitude, the short period of warming treatment, and experimental warming-induced soil drying by decreasing soil microbial activity. Experimental warming decreased significantly inorganic N at the two lower elevations, but had negligible effect at the high elevation. Our findings suggested that the effects of short- term experimental warming on SOC, TN and dissolved organic matter were insignificant, only affecting inorganic forms.
