Although alpine meadows of Tibet are expected to be strongly affected by climatic warming, it remains unclear how soil organic C (SOC), total N (TN), ammonium N(NH4+-N), nitrate N(NO3+-N), and dissolved organic C (DOC) and N (DON) respond to warming. This study aims to investigate the responses of these C and N pools to short-term experimental warming in an alpine meadow of Tibet. A warming experiment using open top chambers was conducted in an alpine meadow at three elevations (i.e., a low (4313 m), mid-(4513 m), and high (4693 m) elevation) in May 2010. Topsoil (0–20 cm depth) samples were collected in July–September 2011. Experimental warming increased soil temperature by ~1–1.4°C but decreased soil moisture by ~0.04 m3m−3. Experimental warming had little effects on SOC, TN, DOC, and DON, which may be related to lower warming magnitude, the short period of warming treatment, and experimental warming-induced soil drying by decreasing soil microbial activity. Experimental warming decreased significantly inorganic N at the two lower elevations,but had negligible effect at the high elevation. Our findings suggested that the effects of short-term experimental warming on SOC, TN and dissolved organic matter were insignificant, only affecting inorganic forms.

Runoff (overland flow and A/B horizon interflow) from 2 grazed dairy pastures at Flaxley, South Australia, accounted for <15% of April{October rainfall in 1996; 88{96% of runoff was overland flow. A range of chemicals, including carbon (C), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S), was measured in runoff As much as 2·3 kg P/ha, 10·7 kg/ha of total dissolved C, and 1·8 kg S/ha was lost from the catchments in that year. Loads of other chemicals ranged from 0·6 g/ha (boron) to 39·8 kg/ha (aluminium). Over 92% of P, 76% of total dissolved C, and 93% of S was lost in overland flow. Between 50% and 60% of P, and 60% and 85% of S, was in the dissolved form; 64-96% of total dissolved C was dissolved organic C. Other chemicals varied from 0% (aluminium) to 97% (sodium) as the dissolved form. Relatively high losses of P and dissolved organic C are important to a dairy industry which is under increasing pressure to demonstrate minimal environmental impact from farming practices.
