Abstract: |
We explored the effects of substrate improvement on nitrogen removal in winter and soil-plant stoichiometric characteristics in the reed(Phragmites australis)area of a subtropical riparian zone in a reed wetland simulation experiment using the riparian soil substrate as the control. Wetland N removal in winter, C, N and P contents, and their stoichiometric ratio in soil and plant organs were determined following addition of different substrates(gravel, gravel + biochar, ceramsite + biochar and modified ceramsite + biochar). Substrate improvement enhanced N removal from the reed wetland in winter. Gravel addition increased NH4+-N removal efficiency by 8.3 percentage points(P<0.05). Gravel+biochar addition increased both TN and NH4+-N removal efficiencies by 8.9 percentage points(P<0.05). Substrate improvement increased soil TC, TN and TP. These increase were significant with gravel+ biochar addition(P<0.05). The three treatments involving biochar addition were conducive to root C fixation and plant N absorption. Ceramsite+ biochar and modified ceramsite+ biochar addition promoted plant growth. There was a certain correlation between soil and plant stoichiometric characteristics, and the relationship between soil with stems and roots was greater. Compared with the effect of plant characteristics, N removal by reed wetlands in winter was more easily affected by soil stoichiometric characteristics under different substrate additions. These results conclude that proper substrate improvement can enhance N removal in winter, increase soil nutrients and promote plant growth in the riparian reed area of a subtropical zone. |
