英文摘要

The high productivity of sandy groundwater-coupled woodlands in the Monte Desert is exploited by local pastoralist communities for fuel, domestic use, and manure accumulation and export to irrigated oases. We explored processes and species that could replenish C and N losses from the ecosystem using stable isotopes of plants and nutrient analysis of soils. Foliar N-15 natural abundances, which were lower in Prosopis flexuosa plants and C4 grasses from dune flanks, indicate that these plants may fix atmospheric N-2. Groundwater availability did not decrease water use efficiency (indicated by similar foliar delta C-13 in dune flanks and interdune valleys), suggesting that the higher stomatal conductance allowed by the additional water source and reported in previous studies is coupled with higher photosynthetic rates, increasing productivity in interdune valleys. Water use efficiency and N stable isotopes of P. flexuosa responded to temporal changes in precipitations, suggesting rapid shifts of N sources, to uptake of recently mineralized soil N (higher delta N-15 and lower delta C-13 after rain events). Soil heterogeneity was low, except for ammonium and moisture in interdune valley soils. This study allows us to hypothesize that carbon is replenished in interdune valleys by increasing photosynthetic rates, and N is replenished by N-2 fixation done by young P. flexuosa plants and grasses from dune flanks.
