Abstract

Abstract: In Inner Mongolia steppe,the paper studied the properties of soil chemical elements from severalmain plant populations,the results indicated that soil pHand total nitrogen content of Leymus chinensis population is the highest among different plant populations,and then Potentilla acaulis population,Caragana microphylla population is the lowest.Except between Artemisia frigida and Kochia prostrata populations,there are significant differences(P<0.05)between other plant populations.Soil inorganic nitrogen content of Leymus chinensis population is the highest,and then Artemisia frigida,Caragana microphylla,Kochia prostrata and Potentilla acaulis populations respectively.Soil inorganic nitrogen content has significant differences(P<0.05)between all the different plant population populations.Soil microbial biomass nitrogen of Caragana microphylla population is the highest,and then Leymus chinensis,Artemisia frigida,Kochia prostrata and Potentilla acaulis populations respectively.Soil microbial biomass nitrogen has significant differences(P<0.05)between all the different plant populations.Soil net N mineralization rate of Leymus chinensis population is the highest of different plant populations,and then Artemisia frigida,Potentilla acaulis,Kochia prostrata and Caragana microphylla populations respectively,and there are significant differences(P<0.05)between all the different plant populations.There are significant(P<0.05)positive correlativity between soil net N mineralization rate and soil pHand temperature,and significant(P<0.05)negative correlativity between soil net N mineralization rate and soil C:N.Soil organic carbon content of Caragana microphylla population is the highest,and then Leymus chinensis population,and Potentilla acaulis population is the lowest.Except between Artemisia frigida and Kochia prostrata populations,there are significant differences(P<0.05)between other plant populations.
