Responses of the soil microbiota to elevated CO2 in an artificial tropical ecosystem.
Journal of Microbiological Methods 1999 May
Plants in artificial tropical ecosystems were grown under ambient (340 microl l(-1)) and elevated (610 microl l(-1)) atmospheric CO2 for 530 d under low-nutrient conditions on a substrate free of organic C. At the end of the experiment a number of soil chemical and microbiological variables were determined. Although we found no changes in total soil organic matter under elevated CO2, we did find that after physical fractionation the amount of organic C in the supernatant (< 0.2 microm) and the amount of water extractable organic C (WEOC) was lower under elevated CO2. The extractable optical density (OD) indicated a higher degree of humification for the elevated than for the ambient CO2 samples (P = 0.032). Microbial biomass C was not significantly altered under high CO2, but total bacterial counts were significantly higher. The microbial biomass C-to-N ratio was also higher at elevated (15.0) than at ambient CO2 (10.0). The number of mycorrhizal spores was lower at high CO2, but ergosterol contents and fungal hyphal lengths were not significantly affected. Changes were found neither in community level physiological profiles (CLPPs) nor in the structural attributes (phospholipid fatty acids, PLFAs) of the microbial community. Overall, the effects on the soil microbiota were small, perhaps as a result of the low nutrient supply and low organic matter content of the soil used in our study. The few significant results showing changes in specific, though relatively minor, organic matter pools may point to possible long-term changes of the more major pools. Furthermore, the data suggest increased competition between plants and microbes for N at high CO2.
