英文摘要 | The ecological consequences of increased precipitation on ecosystem carbon (C) exchange are gaining increasing concern, especially in the context of ongoing climate change in temperate deserts. In this study, a field manipulative experiment was conducted to assess the effects of increased precipitation and nitrogen (N) addition on net ecosystem C exchange (NEE) in a temperate desert in northwestern China during two years with contrasting precipitation patterns (2011 and 2012). Increased precipitation decreased ecosystem C release by nearly 50% in the wet year of 2011, whereas ecosystem C release was increased in the dry year of 2012 because of the disproportional stimulation of gross ecosystem productivity (GEP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) by increased precipitation. N addition had no impact on NEE because of the slight responses of both GEP and ER to N addition. During the wet year, most of the precipitation occurred during the growing season of ephemeral plants, which profoundly stimulated plant growth and led to a higher response of GEP than ER to increased precipitation. As a result, positive effects of increased precipitation on NEE occurred in this year. During the dry year, the majority of the precipitation fell post the ephemeral growing season and only a small increase in herb biomass was observed. However, the response of ER to increased precipitation was larger than that of GEP, leading to a more negative NEE in 2012, as compared to 2011. C release was thus stimulated by increased precipitation in 2012. Irrespective of precipitation treatment, N addition weakly decreased C release because of the negligible stimulation of GEP and ER, as well as the slight response of ephemeral biomass. The responses of NEE to increased precipitation showed no difference between interplant spaces and beneath the dominant shrubs because of the similar responses of plant growth, GEP and ER between sites. Overall, this study shows that the responses of NEE to projected increasing precipitation depend on the coupling of precipitation timing and plant growing season. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
