Response of Soil Enzymes Activities and Their Stoichiometric Characteristics to Altitude and Aspect of Alpine Meadow in Eastern Qilian Mountains
Studying the dynamic changes of soil enzyme activities and its stoichiometric characteristics at the micro-scale altitude and aspect of alpine meadows has important ecological significance for exploring the nutrient cycling process of grassland ecosystems. The alpine meadows in eastern Qilian Mountain was taken as the research object
and the changes of soil enzyme activities and its stoichiometric characteristics in seven altitudes and two aspects of alpine meadows
and their relationships with soil physical and chemical factors were analyzed. The results showed that the interactive effects of altitude and aspect had significant effects on soil LAP
BG
PPO
POD
lnBG/ln(NAG+LAP)
lnBG/lnAP and ln(NAG+LAP)/lnAP. The LAP
AP
BG
POD
lnBG/ln(NAG+LAP) and lnBG/ln(NAG+LAP) first increased and then decreased with the increasing altitudes
while NAG and PPO decreased with the increasing altitudes. At the same altitude
The AP
BG
POD and PPO in the sunny aspect were lower than those in the shady aspect
and NAG in the sunny aspect were higher than that in the shady aspect
and LAP in sunny aspect under 3 800 m were lower than that in the shady aspect
and lnBG/ln(NAG+LAP) in sunny aspect except 3 000 and 4 000 m were higher than that in the shady aspect
and lnBG/lnAP in sunny aspect under 3 000 to 4 000 m and ln(NAG+LAP)/lnAP in sunny aspect under 3 000 to 3 600 m were lower than that in the shady aspect. Correlation analysis found that
soil enzyme activity and its stoichiometric characteristics were regulated by soil C
N
P resources and soil moisture conditions to varying degrees
and soil moisture and SOC were the main factors affecting soil enzymes activities. In conclusion
soil enzymes activities and their stoichiometric characteristics were different in micro-scale elevations and slope directions
