摘要: Plant-soil feedback has been widely studied and may be particularly important in resource-poor areas. However, the roles of direct and indirect biotic effect in affecting plant growth and functional traits in this process still remained unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the roles of soil biota in affecting plant performance and traits by conducting a two-phase feedback experiment in a dry-hot valley, with a conditioning phase during which there were Dodonaea viscosa or no D. viscosa growing in the soil and a feedback phase in which the effect of the conditioned soil biota on D. viscosa performance was measured. Soil N was reduced by the presence of D. viscosa during the conditioning phase. However, D. viscosa showed a positive plant-soil feedback. In the feedback phase, the D. viscosa-conditioned soil increased the stem diameter, total biomass, and leaf dry mass content of D. viscosa, while the specific leaf area was significantly lower in D. viscosa-conditioned soil than that in bare soil. In contrast, soil sterilization had a negative effect on the growth of D. viscosa, with a significant reduction in biomass, especially in D. viscosa-conditioned soil, and soil sterilization significantly increased the root:shoot biomass ratio and litter mass. Furthermore, we showed that although the biota-driven changes in enzyme activities correlated with leaf N and especially P amount, the enzyme activity was not the main reason to promote D. viscosa growth in conditioned soil. These results suggest that the positive biotic feedback effect was superior to the negative nutrient-depleted effect on D. viscosa growth, and the direct biotic feedback effect would drive the positive effect of soil biota to a greater extent than the indirect effect. The positive biotic plant-soil feedback in dry-hot valley plays an important role in ecosystem restoration and helps in understanding plant adaptation to the local environment in this area.
