摘要: |
Urban areas are key sources of reactive atmospheric nitrogen (N). Urban forests are moving towards a state of "N-saturation" due to N-deposition. However, the possible future-trend of inherent N-cycling in trees in response to urbanization-related N-deposition is not well known. With regard to the contradiction of current studies on the exogenous N-addition on endogenous N-retranslocation (NR) in the month-or season-long term, we treated 15-month old Changbai larch (Larixo lgensis Henry.) seedlings with N-15-labeled ammonium sulfate supplied at rates of 0 (control), 30 (F30), 105 (F105), and 315 (F315) mg N-15 seedling(-1) to simulate N-deposition at the accumulatively future amounts driven by urbanization. Seedlings were harvested nine days after treatment to determine their response of NR. Results revealed that N-deposition had a significant short-term effect on N-derived from plant (NDFP) in needles, wherein NDFP rose with the increase of 15 N-deposition intensity. In fine root (in diameter of 0-1 mm) NDFP in the F315 treatment was statistically higher than that in other treatments. There was a mean amount of 1.26 mg of N-retranslocated into needles, which accounted for 19% of total N-content. Results in the present study, together with the other ones we summarized, could be concluded that short-term NR in Changbai larch tended to increase in response to urbanization-related N-deposition. |
