Alpine wetlands are important ecosystems, but an increased availability of soil nutrients may affect their soil nitrous oxide (N 2 O) fluxes and key enzyme activities. We undertook a 3-year experiment of observing nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) addition to alpine wetland soils of the Tibetan Plateau, China, with measurements made of soil extracellular enzyme activities and soil N 2 O fluxes. Our study showed that soil N 2 O flux was significantly increased by 72% and 102% following N and N+P additions, respectively. N addition significantly increased acid phosphatase (AP) and β-1, 4- N -acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG) activities by 32% and 26%, respectively. P addition alone exerted a neutral effect on soil AP activities, while increasing NAG activities. We inferred that microbes produce enzymes based on ‘resource allocation theory’, but that a series of constitutive enzymes or the treatment duration interfere with this response. Our findings suggest that N addition increases N- and P-cycling enzyme activities and soil N 2 O flux, whereas P addition exerts a neutral effect on P-cycling enzyme activities and N 2 O flux after 3 years of nutrient applications to an alpine wetland.
