摘要：As the global climates change, elevated CO2 and soil contamination by heavy metal co-occure in natural ecosystems, which are anticipated to affect soil organic carbon fractions (SOC) and their relation to soil microbial activities, but this issue has not been extensively examined. We investigated the response of SOC and their relation with soil microorganisms and enzyme activities in rhizosphere soils of Robinia pseudoacacia L. seedlings to elevated CO2 plus cadmium (Cd)-contamination. We found that elevated CO2 significantly (p < 0.05) stimulated total organic carbon (TOC) (8.6%), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) (32.6%), microbial biomass carbon (MBC) (13.5%), bacteria (11.6%), fungi (20.9%), actinomycetes (15.3%), urease (20.1%), dehydrogenase (15.8%), invertase (11.1%), and β-glucosidase (11.9%), and DOC, MBC, bacteria, actinomycetes, urease, and invertase presented smaller growth trend in the range of 500-700 μmol mol-1 CO2 than in the range of 385-500 μmol mol-1 CO2. While Cd decreased DOC (30.1%), MBC (24.9%), bacteria (21.5%) actinomycetes (15.9%), and enzyme activities. Elevated CO2 offset the negative effect of Cd on SOC and microbial activities (except for TOC and L-asparaginase). Procrustes rotation test was used to determine the drivers (elevated CO2, Cd, and CO2 + Cd) of the relation between SOC and microbial activities, revealing the correlations between SOC, soil microorganisms, and enzyme activities were higher under elevated CO2 than under elevated CO2 + Cd. Our results suggest elevated CO2 could stimulate soil fertility and microecological cycle in the rhizosphere microenvironment exposed to heavy metal by affecting the relationship between SOC and soil microbial properties.
