- [目的]探究高原鼠兔洞穴对高寒草甸土壤入渗性能及其相关因素的影响,以揭示其对高寒草甸生态系统水分循环和土壤水文功能的潜在作用。[方法]以高寒草甸高原鼠兔洞穴不同部位作为研究对象,包括洞口(PE)与洞道(PB),对照为无高原鼠兔洞穴分布的未扰动高寒草甸(AM),用单环法对土壤入渗速率进行测定。[结果](1)高原鼠兔洞穴促进高寒草甸土壤入渗速率,相比于未扰动高寒草甸,洞口和洞道初始入渗速率分别升高377.63%和189.47%,稳定入渗速率分别升高314.29%和220.00%(p<0.05);(2)高原鼠兔洞穴破坏高寒草甸土壤结构,相比于原生高寒草甸,洞口表层土壤总孔隙度和毛管孔隙度分别显著降低4.69%和16.27%,但非毛管孔隙度显著升高22.47%,洞口和洞道团聚体平均重量直径分别显著降低20.09%和9.45%,土壤有机质含量显著降低,各部位大小依次为未扰动高寒草甸>洞道>洞口(p<0.05);(3)高原鼠兔洞穴主要通过影响高寒草甸草毡层根系促进土壤入渗,根系生物量是影响初始入渗速率和稳定入渗速率的主导因子,标准化总效应分别为-0.717和-0.539。[结论]鼠兔洞穴一定程度上有利于高寒草甸生态系统的水分循环,但同时也破坏了高寒草甸原本的土壤结构,加剧高寒草甸退化风险。
- Abstract:
- [Objective]The aims of this study are to investigate the effects of plateau sage grouse burrows on the infiltration performance of alpine meadow soils and its related factors, and to reveal its potential role on water cycling and soil hydrological functions in alpine meadow ecosystems. [Methods]Soil infiltration rates were measured by the single-loop method in different parts of alpine meadow plateau pika burrows, including the entrance(PE)and the burrow pathway(PB), and the control was an undisturbed alpine meadow(AM)with no distribution of plateau pika burrows. [Results](1)Compared with the native alpine meadow, the total porosity and capillary porosity of surface soil at the plateau pika cave entrance were significantly reduced by 4.69% and 16.27%, respectively, while the non-capillary porosity was significantly increased by 22.47%, and the mean weight diameters of aggregates at the entrance and burrow were significantly decreased by 20.09% and 9.45%, respectively. The soil organic matter content decreased significantly, and soil organic matter content of each part followed the order:native alpine meadow>burrow>entrance(p<0.05),(2)Compared with native alpine meadow, the initial infiltration rate of the cave entrance and burrow increased by 377.63% and 189.47%, respectively, and the stable infiltration rate increased by 314.29% and 220.00%(p<0.05).(3)Plateau pika caves promoted the soil infiltration performance mainly through the destruction of mattic layer roots, and root biomass was the dominant factor affecting initial and stable infiltration rates, with the standardized total effects of -0.717 and -0.539, respectively. To some extent, pika caves were conducive to the water conservation of alpine meadow ecosystem. [Conclusion]Sage-grouse burrows favor water circulation in alpine meadow ecosystems to a certain extent, but also damage the original soil structure of alpine meadows and exacerbate the risk of alpine meadow degradation.
