摘要

Tropical forests are important sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N _2O) and of nitric oxide (NO), a precursor of ozone. In tropical montane forests nitrogen limitation is common which affects both soil N _2O and NO fluxes and forest productivity. Here we present evidence that forest productivity and N-oxide (N _2O + NO) fluxes are linked through N availability along elevation and topographic gradients in tropical montane forests. We measured N-oxide fluxes, several indices of N availability, and forest productivity along an elevation gradient from 1000 m to 3000 m and along topographic gradients. Organic layer thickness of the soils increased and N availability decreased with increasing elevation and along the topographic gradient from the lower slope position to the ridges. Annual N _2O fluxes ranged from-0.53 g(N)m ~(-2)h ~(-1) to 14.54 g(N)m ~(-2)h ~(-1) while NO fluxes ranged from-0.02 g(N)m ~(-2)h ~(-1) to 1.13 g(N)m ~(-2)h ~(-1). Both N-oxide fluxes and forest productivity increased with increasing N availability and showed close positive correlations with indices of N availability (C/N ratio and δ ~(15)N signature of litterfall). We interpret the close correlations of N-oxide fluxes with total litterfall and tree basal area increment as evidence that N availability links N-oxide fluxes and forest productivity. This opens the possibility to include forest productivity as co-variable in predictions of N-oxide fluxes in nitrogen limited tropical montane forests. Especially increment of tree basal area was a promising proxy to predict soil N-oxide fluxes in these N limited ecosystems, possibly because it better reflects long-term forest productivity than total litterfall.
