A comparative study on soil respiration between grazing and fenced typical Leymus chinensis steppe,Inner Mongolia

Abstract

Abstract: With enclosed chamber Method,this paper studied the soil respiration in grazing and fenced typical Leymus chinensis steppes,Inner Mongolia,and its relationships with environmental factors.The results showed that the daily pattern of soil respiration could be expressed as a one-humped curve,and the highest values appeared at 13:00～15:00 in the fenced and grazing plots.The diurnal dynamics of soil respiration mainly depended on the surface temperature at the fenced plots and the soil temperature at 5 cm depth at the grazing plots.In June and July,the average soil respiration rate was 2.7 times greater at the fenced plots than that at the grazing plots,while the difference was not distinct in August and September,which was similar with the change of the belowground biomass.The reason was probably that the plant was influenced differently in different phenological phases by grazing and the change of environmental factors.It showed that human activity may not result in the increase of soil respiration rate.The seasonal dynamics of soil respiration was closely correlated with soil water content at the 0～10 cm depth at the fenced and grazing sites,and the maximum R² was 0.853 and 0.741,respectively.The difference was that the correlation of soil respiration seasonal dynamics with soil water content was larger at the fenced plots than at the grazing plots.The correlations of soil respiration diurnal and seasonal dynamics with temperature and soil water content at lower profiles were larger than those at deeper profiles at the fenced and grazing sites.
