Changes in CSR alpine plant strategies under mineral nutrient additions

The expression of CSR strategies in plants species depends on environmental factors, especially the availability of soil nutrients. A long-term experiment was conducted in the alpine belt of the northwestern Caucasus to study community changes under the influence of soil enrichment with mineral nutrients, in particular NP and Ca. In the 8th year of the experiment, the parameters of alpine plant leaves were studied in communities of 4 types: alpine lichen heath, Festuca varia grassland, Geranium Hedysarum meadow and alpine snowbed community (4 species per community). Based on the study of the functional traits of the leaves of these plants, the contribution of Grime’s CSR strategies was quantitatively estimated. The general pattern of increased contribution of the competitive (C) strategy with soil enrichment with mineral nutrients was confirmed. This enhancement was more pronounced in the initially low-productive communities (alpine lichen heaths and alpine snowbeds) compared to the more productive alpine meadows. Enrichment of the soil with available forms of nitrogen and phosphorus caused a greater increase in the contribution of the competitive strategy compared to liming, although the directions of changes in strategies were similar in both treatments.
