摘要

Future climate scenarios for the Mediterranean imply increasing precipitation variability. This study presents a large-scale water manipulation experiment simulating changes in precipitation variability, aiming at a better understanding of the effects of rainfall patterns on soil C and N cycling and understorey productivity in a Mediterranean oak woodland. We used rain-out shelters to achieve (1) a normal dry period (7 days), and (2) a dry period increased three-fold (21 days), without altering total annual precipitation inputs. The temporal patterns of soil respiration (R (s)) and soil inorganic N were not affected by treatment. However, water infiltration and N leaching increased with large infrequent watering events. R (s) and soil NH4 (+)-N correlated with soil temperature, with soil NO3 (-)-N being influenced by leaching. The lack of significant treatment effects on either R (s) or soil inorganic N can be explained by (1) minor differences in plant productivity between the treatments, suggesting equal plant N demand, and (2) the absence of moisture dependence of R (s) and soil NH4 (+)-N. Increased N leaching with large infrequent precipitation events may have longer-term consequences for ecosystem functioning. Our results contribute to an improved understanding of possible climate change effects on key ecosystem processes in Mediterranean ecosystems.RI Unger, Stephan/A-1988-2009
