Elevated Ozone Negatively Affects the Community Characteristics and Productivity of Subtropical Grassland in India
Tropospheric ozone (O
3
) is found to be a severe threat to agriculture and natural vegetation. The present study was conducted to investigate the structural and functional changes in an intact seminatural grassland community when exposed to elevated O
3
(EO
3
; ambient + 20 parts per billion) compared to ambient O
3
(AO
3
) for 3 years using open-top chambers. Parameters such as species richness (SR), evenness (
E
), Shannon index (
H
′), β-diversity (BD), concentration of dominance (Cd), similarity index (SI), biomass in canopy layers, and community productivity were evaluated. Species like
Cynodon dactylon
,
Dichanthium annulatum
,
Parthenium hysterophorus
,
Digitaria sanguinalis
,
Cyperus killinga
,
Oplismenus burmannii
, and
Commelina benghalensis
showed higher importance value index (IVI), whereas
Trifolium resupinatum
,
Desmodium triflorum
,
Melilotus officinalis
,
Oxalis corniculata
,
Eleusine indica
,
Cyperus rotundus
,
Malvestrum coromandelianum
, and
Lindernia anagallis
showed lower IVI under EO
3
treatment compared to AO
3
. EO
3
enhanced BD and Cd, whereas SR,
E
, and
H
′ in the community reduced. Biomass accumulation reduced maximally in top layer compared to bottom and middle canopy layers in both forbs and grasses fraction under EO
3
treatment. Higher reduction in total biomass compared to aboveground biomass indicates less carbon allocation toward root system. The results of the present study clearly indicates that 3 years of exposure at EO
3
level caused deleterious impact on grassland community by increasing O
3
-tolerant and decreasing sensitive species, thus resulting in a shift in species composition and community productivity.
期刊介绍:
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability publishes articles on advances in ecology and sustainability science, how global environmental change affects ecosystem health, how changes in human activities affect ecosystem conditions, and system-based approaches for applying ecological science in decision-making to promote sustainable development. Papers focus on applying ecological theory, principles, and concepts to support sustainable development, especially in regions undergoing rapid environmental change. Papers on multi-scale, integrative, and interdisciplinary studies, and on international collaborations between scientists from industrialized and industrializing countries are especially welcome.
Suitable topics for EHS include:
• Global, regional and local studies of international significance
• Impact of global or regional environmental change on natural ecosystems
• Interdisciplinary research involving integration of natural, social, and behavioral sciences
• Science and policy that promote the use of ecological sciences in decision making
• Novel or multidisciplinary approaches for solving complex ecological problems
• Multi-scale and long-term observations of ecosystem evolution
• Development of novel systems approaches or modeling and simulation techniques
• Rapid responses to emerging ecological issues.
