Different Responses of Soil Nutrient Dynamics and Microbial Activities to Soil Moisture Changes in Alpine Wetlands and Meadows on the Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 16, 2025

ABSTRACT Alpine wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau are important carbon pools and undergoing severe degradation, generally with decreasing vegetation soil water contents. However, ecological responses of alpine to hydrological changes vary greatly among habitats. In this study, topsoil from meadows (degraded wetlands) was incubated under 50%, 70%, 100% saturated content (SWC) then characterized based nutrients, enzyme activities, molecular composition dissolved organic matter (metabolomes), microbial communities (metagenomes). Compared meadow soils, wetland soils had greater nutrient contents hydrolase activities more complex compositions metabolomes metabolomes. After incubation, presented highest all enzymes 70% SWC, whereas β‐glucosidase acid phosphatase 50% both together lowest phosphorus content. Drought increased number species in but decreased that soils. The Shannon Pielou indices were SWC (in or meadows) soils) significantly positively correlated activity Distance‐based redundancy analysis revealed role peroxidase wetlands. Procrustes further indicated different drought‐induced two This study deepens our understanding soil‐type‐related ecosystems provides a valuable reference for application emerging multiomics techniques.

Temperature thresholds drive the biogeographic pattern of root endophytic fungal diversity in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 889, P. 164270 - 164270

Published: May 19, 2023

Studying the diversity and distribution of host-associated fungi along temperature gradient can help us detect potential impact global warming on host-microbe interactions. By investigating 55 samples gradient, our results demonstrated that thresholds controlled biogeographic pattern fungal in root endosphere. When mean annual crossed ∼1.40 °C, or coldest quarter was over ∼-8.26 endophytic OTU richness abruptly decreased. Shared between endosphere rhizosphere soil showed similar thresholds. However, had a nonsignificant positive linear relationship with temperature. The asynchrony alpha response to increasing indicated might regulate microbial colonization process from rhizoplane interior tissue. crosses threshold, rapid decrease entry tissue may lead richness. We further found more sensitive increases under drought than non-drought conditions. also influencing beta diversity. difference two sampling points an ∼2.2 °C species replacement sharply decreased, increased. This investigation highlights are very important shaping variation fungi, especially alpine ecosystems. Furthermore, it provides preliminary framework for studying interactions warming.

Climatic factors regulate the assembly processes of abundant and rare microbial communities in desert soil

Journal of Plant Ecology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 16(6)

Published: Sept. 28, 2023

Abstract Soil microorganisms, which include many rare taxa and a small number of abundant taxa, have different contributions to the ecosystem functions services. High throughput sequencing technology was used analyze species composition soil samples by DNA sequencing. microorganisms were divided into reveal their composition. Correlation analysis random forest method further influence environmental factors on community. Finally, beta nearest taxon index (βNTI) based null model elucidate mechanisms underlying microbial community assembly. We found that, in desert soil, assembly bacteria almost entirely dominated homogeneous selection deterministic processes. For comparison, stochastic processes had more pronounced effects bacteria. However, both fungi exhibited similar patterns assembly, i.e. jointly determined fungal communities. also observed that shifted from with increasing mean annual precipitation (MAP) temperature (MAT) for Conversely, fungi, there an inclination toward shift rising MAT. In conclusion, our findings provide compelling evidence MAT MAP regulate process communities soil. These establish theoretical foundation future investigations structure ecological microorganisms.

Plant community stability, indicator species and their driving factors at a gradient of grazing intensity in an alpine meadow

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 162, P. 112012 - 112012

Published: April 12, 2024

On the Tibetan Plateau, most alpine meadows have undergone various degree of degradation due to heavy grazing practices. Assessing progress succession, identify indicator species for different managements is crucial facilitate effective restoration degraded meadows. In this study, specific areas with varying levels intensity were selected assess stability plant communities, each stage, and examine driving factors influencing community stability. The results showed that (i) was found be highest under light moderate grazing. comparison treatment, "cohesion" index (|Negative cohesion|) increased by 54.45% treatment 23.24% treatment. (ii) varied across succession stages played distinct roles. Dominant identified as no whereas rare poisonous served indicators (iii) mechanisms differed throughout gradient intensity. Plant-related primarily influenced grazing, while soil-related began play a joint role This empirical knowledge contributes establishing scientific basis rational utilization management meadow ecosystems.
