英文摘要 | Early successional biological soil crusts (BSCs), a consortium of bacteria, cyanobacteria, and other microalgae, are one of the first settlement stages on temperate coastal sand dunes. In this study, we investigated the algal biomass (Chlorophyll a (Chl a)), algal (C-algal) and microbial carbon (C-mic), elemental stoichiometry (C:N:P), and acid and alkaline phosphatase activity (AcidPA and AlkPA) of two algae-dominated BSCs from a coastal white dune (northeast Germany, on the southwestern Baltic Sea) which differed in the exposure to wind forces. The dune sediment (DS) was generally low in total carbon (TC), nitrogen (TN), and phosphorus (TP). These elements, together with the soil organic matter (SOM)accumulated in the BSC layer and in the sediment underneath (crust sediment CS), leading to initial soil development. The more disturbed BSC (BSC1) exhibited lower algal and microbial biomass and lower C-algal/C-mic ratios than the undisturbed BSC (BSC2). The BSC1 accumulated more organic carbon (OC) than BSC2. However, the OC in the BSC2 was more effectively incorporated into C-mic than in the BSC1, as indicated by lower OC:C-mic ratios. The AcidPA (1.1-1.3molg(-1)DMh(-1) or 147-178gg(-1)DMh(-1)) and AlkPA (2.7-5.5molg(-1)DMh(-1) or 372-764gg(-1)DMh(-1)) were low in both BSCs. The PA, together with the elemental stoichiometry, indicated no P limitation of both BSCs but rather water limitation followed by N limitation for the algae community and a carbon limitation for the microbial community. Our results explain the observed distribution of early successional and more developed BSCs on the sand dune. |
