ABSTRACT
Continuous nitrogen (N) loading alters plant growth and subsequently has the potential to impact soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation in salt marshes. However, the knowledge gap of photosynthesized carbon (C) allocation in plant-soil-microbial systems hampers the quantification of C fluxes and the clarification of the mechanisms controlling the C budget under N loading in salt marsh ecosystems. To address this, we conducted an N fertilization field observation combined with a 5 h 13C-pulse labeling experiment in a salt marsh dominated by Suaeda. salsa (S. salsa) in the Yellow River Delta (YRD), China. N fertilization increased net 13C assimilation of S. Salsa by 277.97%, which was primarily allocated to aboveground biomass and SOC. However, N fertilization had little effect on 13C allocation to belowground biomass. Correlation analysis showed that 13C incorporation in soil was significantly and linearly correlated with 13C incorporation in shoots rather than in roots both in a 0 N (0 g N m-2 yr-1) and +N (20 g N m-2 yr-1) group. The results suggested that SOC increase under N fertilization was mainly due to an increased C assimilation rate and more efficient downward transfer of photosynthesized C. In addition, N fertilization strongly improved the 13C amounts in the chloroform-labile SOC component by 295.26%. However, the absolute increment of newly fix 13C mainly existed in the form of residual SOC, which had more tendency for burial in the soil. Thus, N fertilization enhanced SOC accumulation although C loss increased via belowground respiration. These results have important implications for predicting the carbon budget under further human-induced N loading.
