摘要

植物对土壤碳循环的调节作用已得到广泛认识。然而,这种调节功能正日益受到人为驱动的植被损失和侵蚀加剧的威胁,特别是在生态脆弱的生态系统中。尽管它们经常共存,但这些胁迫源对土壤有机碳动态的交互作用尚不清楚。本研究以黄土高原为研究对象,研究了不同植被损失和土壤侵蚀强度对土壤碳过程的影响,重点研究了不同景观位置土壤酶活性和有机碳动态。结果表明,植被去除显著降低了土壤有机碳0.63 %,酶活性下降。这些效应在表层土壤(0 ~ 10 cm)、中等侵蚀强度下(SOC降低1.19 %)和北部侵蚀易发地(如苏德)更为明显。植被去除后,沉积带土壤有机碳和酶活性的响应相对较弱。植被损失改变了不同地貌带的有机碳调节。在侵蚀区,控制因子由侵蚀强度转向气候,而在沉积带,营养化学计量学的贡献更为明显。结构方程模型揭示了不同的途径:酶抑制驱动侵蚀带的有机碳损失,而营养化学计量变化控制沉积带的有机碳损失。研究结果表明,人为植被损失通过改变其生物地球化学调节而加剧了侵蚀引起的有机碳损失,强调了在脆弱景观中进行植被恢复和侵蚀控制以稳定土壤碳的迫切需要。

Effects of vegetation loss and soil erosion intensity on soil carbon dynamics across landscape position: Evidence from China’s Loess Plateau
The role of plant in regulating soil carbon cycling is well recognized. However, this regulatory function is increasingly threatened by human-driven vegetation loss and intensified erosion, especially in ecologically fragile ecosystems. Despite their frequent co-occurrence, the interactive effects of these stressors on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a field experiment on China’s Loess Plateau to investigate the impacts of vegetation loss and soil erosion intensity on soil carbon processes, focusing on enzyme activities and SOC dynamics across landscape position. Our results showed that vegetation removal significantly reduced SOC by 0.63 %, along with declines in enzyme activities. These effects were more pronounced in surface soils (0–10 cm), under moderate erosion intensity (SOC: 1.19 % reduction), and in northern erosion-prone sites such as Suide (SD) in erosion areas. In contrast, deposition zones exhibited comparatively weaker responses in both SOC and enzyme activities following vegetation removal. Vegetation loss altered SOC regulation across geomorphic zones. In erosion areas, the controlling factor shifted from erosion intensity to climate, whereas in depositional zones, the contribution of nutrient stoichiometry became more pronounced . Structural equation modeling revealed contrasting pathways: enzyme suppression drove SOC loss in erosion zones, while nutrient stoichiometry shifts governed SOC in depositional zones. Our findings demonstrated that anthropogenic vegetation loss intensifies erosion-induced SOC loss by shifting its biogeochemical regulation, highlighting the critical need for integrated vegetation restoration and erosion control to stabilize soil carbon in vulnerable landscapes.

期刊介绍: Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment publishes scientific articles dealing with the interface between agroecosystems and the natural environment, specifically how agriculture influences the environment and how changes in that environment impact agroecosystems. Preference is given to papers from experimental and observational research at the field, system or landscape level, from studies that enhance our understanding of processes using data-based biophysical modelling, and papers that bridge scientific disciplines and integrate knowledge. All papers should be placed in an international or wide comparative context.
