简介:以滇西北碧塔海泥炭沼泽土壤为研究对象,通过野外测量和室内分析相结合的方法,研究牦牛(Bosmutus)践踏和牦牛粪影响下的土壤总有机碳含量、全氮含量和N_2O排放通量。结果表明,牦牛践踏显著抑制了土壤N_2O的排放;牦牛粪的输入促进了土壤N_2O的排放,且牦牛粪分解前期是N_2O排放的高峰期。在0~30cm深度土层内,牦牛放牧使土壤总有机碳含量增加,牦牛践踏和牦牛粪都促进了土壤总有机碳含量的增加,增加比例分别为39.27%和12.19%;随着土壤深度的增加,粪斑样方土壤总有机碳含量显著减小,践踏样方土壤总有机碳含量略有增加。牦牛放牧使土壤全氮含量增加,牦牛践踏和牦牛粪都促进了土壤全氮含量的增加,增加比例分别为50.56%和12.76%;随着土壤深度的增加,践踏样方和粪斑样方土壤全氮含量都在减小。
