摘要

Background and aims

Nitrogen (N) addition promotes phosphorus (P) accumulation in P-accumulating plants used for phytoextraction; however it remains unclear how N addition affects rhizosphere P availability, microbial interactions and functions to facilitate plant P uptake from high-P soils.

Methods

The P-accumulating herb Polygonum hydropiper was treated with 100 mg N kg−1 and a control (0 mg N kg−1) in high-P soils to examine shifts in rhizosphere P availability and fractions, enzyme activities, microbial interactions and functions, and their relations with biomass and P accumulation.

Results

N addition significantly mobilized rhizosphere soil P of P. hydropiper, evidenced by increased concentration of CaCl2 extractable P (CaCl2-P), enzyme extractable P (enzyme-P), and microbial biomass P (MBP). Additionally, N addition significantly improved the activities of rhizosphere P-, N-, and C-related enzymes, and altered the structures and interactions of bacterial and fungal communities in high-P soils. This resulted in a notable increase in the complexity of intra-trophic and cross-tropic networks and the numbers of keystone species. The relative abundance of bacteria involved in chitinolysis, chemoheterotrophy, aerobic chemoheterotrophy, N fixation, and nitrate reduction was significantly improved by N addition. Additionally, significant positive correlations were observed among rhizosphere CaCl2-P, enzyme-P, MBP, enzyme activities, and bacterial communities in relation to shoot P accumulation.

Conclusion

N addition triggered soil P mobilization and promoted plant P uptake through optimizing rhizosphere extracellular enzymes and microbiome. Our study provides new insights into the rhizosphere mechanisms of improving soil P availability and the P-phytoextraction capability of P-accumulating plants by N addition.
