| 摘 要： | Purpose Plants growing in the soils of karst forests associate with arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) or ectomycorrhizae (ECM) to acquire nutrients. We researched how these different mycorrhizal associations affect rhizosphere soil nutrient economy in these calcareous soils. Methods Bulk and rhizosphere soils were sampled beneath 25 AM and 9 ECM plants growing in primary forests at the Puding Karst Critical Zone Observatory. Nutrient contents and potential enzyme activities were analyzed to test the effect of different types of mycorrhizal association on rhizosphere soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) economies. Results The contents of nitrate-N and available-P were markedly lower in the rhizospheres of ECM plants compared to AM plants. Ectomycorrhizal plants promoted relatively greater investment in N-acquisition enzymes, in contrast, AM plants caused relatively greater investment in P-acquisition enzymes. The decreased pH in the rhizospheres of AM plants likely promoted the greater P availability. Conclusion Our results revealed how plants that form contrasting mycorrhizal associations have fundamentally different effects on rhizospheric nutrient economies in the low fertility karst soils of southwest China. Differentiation in N- and P-acquisition capacity of these plants have implications for species coexistence and the high levels of plant biodiversity observed in these forests. |
