摘要: Efficient nitrogen (N) acquisition by plants and microbes and internal reallocation of plant N are crucial for improving ecosystem N retention. However, little is known about shifts in N use strategy between plants and microbes under N addition. We used a(15)N tracer to investigate effect of N addition (0-25 g N m(-2) yr(-1)) on the N use and retention of plant-microbe-soil system in a temperate Chinese steppe. Adding 2-5 g N m(-2) yr(-1) increased the ecosystem's ability to retain 15N (65-76%) after 1 year. Plant N demand during the peak growth period depended strongly on rapid N immobilization by microbes during 7 days (immobilized 45% of N-15 within 24 h). When root biomass exceeded 0.36 kg m(-2), plants competed more strongly for N than the microbes. N addition increased N reallocation from roots to support new shoot growth (79-88% of N), because increased shoot N demand triggered root N transfer when external N was supplied. Thus, the temporal coupling between plant and microbial N use and in N reallocation within plants significantly altered the semi-arid grassland N cycle, and better predicting impacts of future N deposition scenarios.
