摘要: Rhizosheaths are aggregated, sheath-like soils that physically adhere to root surface, and they form on herbaceous plant roots worldwide, especially in semiarid grasslands. Representing a strong root-soil-microbe interaction, the rhizosheaths are expected to have distinct soil organic carbon (SOC) signatures from rhizosphere soils of non-rhizosheath forming plants. However, such signatures remain unclear, which hinders our understanding of root effects on SOC cycling in grasslands. We compared SOC characteristics between rhizosheath and non-rhizosheath soils of eight herbaceous plant species, collected from a semiarid grassland of North China, using solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and biomarker analyses. We further examined the temporal dynamics of SOC characteristics of rhizosheath soils from early, middle, and late plant growth stages. Compared to non-rhizosheath SOC, rhizosheath SOC had more root inputs of both labile substrates (carbohydrates and free alkanoic acids) and relatively recalcitrant suberin- and lignin-derived compounds. Moreover, the labile inputs provided more substrates for microbial degradation of cutin-derived compounds. These indicators of labile substrate availability increased significantly from the early to late growth stages. Overall, our findings clarify the molecular characteristics of rhizosheath SOC and its temporal dynamics, both of which suggest a critical role of rhizosheath in shaping the rhizosphere microenvironment and regulating SOC cycling.
