摘要: Background and Aims Global changes (precipitation changes and nutrient deposition) profoundly impact structure and function of steppe ecosystem. However, it is unclear the mechanism by which multiple limiting resources affect plant aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in desert steppe. Methods We conducted a field experiment manipulating both precipitation (3 levels: ambient and +/- 50% precipitation) and nutrients addition (3 levels: ambient; nitrogen (N) addition; N/phosphorus (P)/potassium (K) addition) in a factorial design. We focused on the effects of these treatments on species diversity (species richness, Shannon index, abundance), ANPP, plant functional traits, and soil properties. We used structural equation model (SEM) to evaluate the direct and indirect effects of precipitation amount and nutrient addition on ANPP through affecting species diversity and functional traits. Results Increasing precipitation increased species diversity and ANPP. NPK addition and increased 50% precipitation significantly increased ANPP over all other treatment combinations. Drought (-50%) reduced plant height and leaf dry matter content (LDMC), but increased leaf nitrogen content (LNC). Species richness, abundance, height and LDMC were positively correlated with ANPP, while specific leaf area (SLA) and LNC were negatively correlated with ANPP. SEM suggested that precipitation amount indirectly affected ANPP through its effect on abundance and SLA, while nutrient addition indirectly affected ANPP only through its effect on abundance. Conclusion In desert steppe, the interaction of precipitation and nutrient addition had a significant positive effect on ANPP, which was mainly mediated by species diversity and functional traits. Our results highlight the importance of species diversity and functional traits in driving short-term responses of ANPP to environmental factors in desert steppe ecosystems.
