Περίληψη

With the increase of nitrogen (N) deposition, N input can affect soil C cycling since microbes may trigger a series of activities to balance the supply and demand of nutrients. However, as one of the largest C sinks on earth, the role of extra N addition in affecting peatland soil C and its potential mechanism remains unclear and debated. Therefore, this study chose the largest peatland in China (i.e., Zoige, mostly N-limited) to systematically explore the potential changes of soil C, microbes, and ecoenzymes caused by extra N input at the lab scale incubation. Three different types of soils were collected and incubated with different levels of NH4NO3 solution for 45 days. After incubation, N input generally increased soil organic C (SOC) but decreased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Zoige peatland soils. Moreover, CO2 and CH4 emissions were significantly increased after high N input (equal to 5 mg NH4NO3 g−1 dry soils). Through a series of analyses, it was observed that microbial communities and ecoenzyme activities mainly influenced the changes of different C components. Collectively, this study implied that the increasing N deposition might help C sequestration in N-limited peatland soils; simultaneously, the risk of increased CO2 and CH4 by N input in global warming should not be ignored.
