【富营养化改变淡水生态系统氮磷计量特征】Yan ZB et al. Phosphorus accumulates faster than nitrogen globally in freshwater ecosystems under anthropogenic impacts. Ecology Letters 2016 19(10): 1237-1246

Abstract

Combined effects of cumulative nutrient inputs and biogeochemical processes that occur in freshwater under anthropogenic eutrophication could lead to myriad shifts in nitrogen (N):phosphorus (P) stoichiometry in global freshwater ecosystems but this is not yet well-assessed. Here we evaluated the characteristics of N and P stoichiometries in bodies of freshwater and their herbaceous macrophytes across human-impact levels regions and periods. Freshwater and its macrophytes had higher N and P concentrations and lower N : P ratios in heavily than lightly human-impacted environments further evidenced by spatiotemporal comparisons across eutrophication gradients. N and P concentrations in freshwater ecosystems were positively correlated and N : P was negatively correlated with population density in China. These results indicate a faster accumulation of P than N in human-impacted freshwater ecosystems which could have large effects on the trophic webs and biogeochemical cycles of estuaries and coastal areas by freshwater loadings and reinforce the importance of rehabilitating these ecosystems.


【氮富集的驱动机制】Emily C. Farrer et al. Teasing apart plant community responses to N enrichment: the roles of resource limitation competition and soil microbes. Ecology Letters 2016 19(10): 1287-1296

Abstract

Although ecologists have documented the effects of nitrogen enrichment on productivity diversity and species composition we know little about the relative importance of the mechanisms driving these effects. We propose that distinct aspects of environmental change associated with N enrichment (resource limitation asymmetric competition and interactions with soil microbes) drive different aspects of plant response. We test this in greenhouse mesocosms experimentally manipulating each factor across three ecosystems: tallgrass prairie alpine tundra and desert grassland. We found that resource limitation controlled productivity responses to N enrichment in all systems. Asymmetric competition was responsible for diversity declines in two systems. Plant community composition was impacted by both asymmetric competition and altered soil mic
