Abstract

soil during plant growth in monoculture or with L. chinensis being planted in mixing with other two species, respectively. There were significant effects on biomass of L. chinensis and A. adsurgens, but not on that of S. krylovii with increase of N and BR addition. The effects of N addition on the growth of L. chinensis varied with accompanying plant species. Nitrogen addition increased aboveground biomass production of L. chinensis when growing in monoculture and mixed with A. adsurgens, but decreased its belowground biomass when growing mixed with S. krylovii. With increasing soil N availability, plant biomass allocation of L. chinensis showed significant decrease in root-shoot ratio when it was in monoculture or mixed with S. krylovii, but similar changes were not found when it was planted in mixing with A. adsurgens. The significant effects of BR addition on plant growth appeared occasionally. BR addition significantly reduced belowground biomass of A. adsurgens in its monoculture and significantly increased aboveground biomass of L. chinensis when it was planted in mixing with A. adsurgens. The results indicated that the appropria-tely combined addition of N and BR could effectively enhance biomass production of specific species combinations in grasslands, which has application prospects in the restoration of degraded grassland.
