菜园土壤无机氮解吸特性对硝态氮流失潜能的影响

根据土壤氮素解吸模型,通过盆栽试验研究解吸特征参数对土壤渗漏水硝态氮浓度的影响.结果表明：土壤氮素可解吸量Q、土壤溶液氮初始浓度Cli和C₁/比值与土壤渗漏水硝态氮浓度呈非线性关系,在较低氮解吸特征值时则呈线性关系,由此提出“双速率转折点”概念评价土壤硝态氮流失潜能.当耕层土壤氮素解吸特征值超过“双速率转折点”X₀时,硝态氮浓度的增加速率将以非线性形式迅速提高,反之将稳定在较低水平.     

马尾松幼苗生长及生理特性对铝胁迫的响应

以马尾松幼苗为试验材料,采用水培法研究铝胁迫（Al³⁺浓度为0、0.2、0.4、0.8、1.6 mmol·L^-1）对马尾松幼苗生长及其针叶中叶绿素、渗透调节物质（可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸）、丙二醛（MDA）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）等保护酶活性的影响,为揭示马尾松铝毒害生理机制及提高马尾松的耐铝能力提供理论依据。结果显示：当Al³⁺处理浓度为0.2 mmol·L^-1时对马尾松株高和基径生长的影响较小,但对马尾松根系生长有一定的促进作用;Al³⁺处理浓度大于0.2 mmol·L^-1时对马尾松株高、基径和根长的生长均会产生一定的抑制作用,且这种抑制作用随着Al³⁺浓度的增大而增强。马尾松针叶中叶绿素含量和SOD、POD活性均随着Al³⁺处理浓度的增加呈先上升后下降的趋势;Al³⁺处理浓度大于0.2 mmol·L^-1时马尾松针叶中可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸等渗透调节物质均呈上升趋势,且随着Al³⁺浓度的升高而增大;Al³⁺处理浓度大于0.2 mmol·L^-1时马尾松针叶中MDA含量也呈上升趋势,且随着Al³⁺浓度的增大而升高,说明大于0.2 mmol·L^-1的Al³⁺处理可导致马尾松膜脂产生氧化。研究表明,马尾松幼苗具有一定的耐铝能力,在铝胁迫生境下可通过提高自身SOD和POD等保护酶的合成和主动积累脯氨酸、蛋白质和可溶性糖等渗透物质,产生适应性生理响应以维持自身的生理平衡来降低铝毒害作用。

祁连山西水林区土壤阳离子交换量及盐基离子的剖面分布

以祁连山西水林区分布的棕钙土、灰褐土、栗钙土和高山草甸土为对象,研究了阳离子交换量和盐基离子(K+、Na+、Ca2+、Mg2+)的剖面分布规律及其与土壤理化因子的关系。结果表明:土壤阳离子交换量(CEC,介于4.80—48.10 cmol/kg)和盐基总量(TEB,介于4.67—21.34 cmol/kg)随剖面深度的增加逐渐减小,不同土壤类型的大小顺序为:灰褐土>高山草甸土>栗钙土>棕钙土;土壤盐基组成以Ca2+、Mg2+为主(占TEB的比例平均为71.6%、22.9%),K+、Na+所占比例较低(占TEB的比例平均为3.3%、2.2%);棕钙土、灰褐土和栗钙土盐基离子的剖面分布由浅至深呈现:K+≈Ca2+>Na+≈Mg2+,高山草甸土盐基离子则呈现:K+>Na+>Mg2+>Ca2+。不同土壤类型间盐基离子的含量及饱和度随发生层次不同存在较大差异。土壤有机质是CEC的主要贡献因素,粉粒对CEC也有显著的促进作用,而砂粒、CaCO3对CEC有显著抑制作用。土壤生物复盐基作用弱于淋溶作用,造成盐基饱和度较大(BSP,介于44.4%—97.2%),并随剖面深度的增加逐渐增大。相关性分析表明,土壤交换性Na+、Mg2+的含量及饱和度均呈极显著正相关,交换性Na+、Mg2+饱和度与CaCO3含量呈极显著正相关;pH值与BSP呈极显著正相关;土壤速效P含量与CEC呈极显著正相关,速效K含量与交换性K+含量呈极显著正相关。     

Some aspects of the cation status of soil moisture

Summary A study was made of the effect of soil moisture tension (pF 0–3), regarding the soil moisture status and soil oxygen status as interrelated, on the growth and cation uptake byRaphanus sativus using a tension plate apparatus. A similar study was made usingBrassica sinensis in pots.Results suggested that the tension-plate apparatus would be useful in such studies, whereas the lack of adequate soil moisture control in the pot experiment made this type of method unsuitable.Increasing soil moisture tension resulted in an increase in the cation concentrations of both soil solution and plant material. The dilution and valency effect in the soil solution was demonstrated.The growth response to soil moisture tension was a reflection of changes in moisture status which in turn affected the soil oxygen tension.The value of logK–1/2log [Ca+Mg] in the plant was constant over the soil moisture tension range studied and was a reflection of the characteristic potassium intensity status of the soil solution, defined by pK–1/2p (Ca+Mg) which was also constant. The concentration ratio, K/Ca+Mg, in the plant varied with moisture tension in the same way as the ratio varied in the soil solution and was therefore a reflection of both the soil solution composition and soil moisture tension.The plant reflected the composition of the soil solution and it was concluded that both the adsorption and contact-exchange theories played no significant role in plant ion uptake.     

Salinity-induced calcium deficiencies in wheat and barley

Salinity-calcium interactions, which have been shown to be important in plants grown in dryland saline soils of the Canadian prairies, were studied in two species differing in salt tolerance. In solution culture, wheat showed a greater reduction in growth and a higher incidence of foliar Ca deficiency symptoms than barley when grown under MgSO₄ or Na₂SO₄ plus MgSO₄ salt stress. Amendment of the saline solution with Ca to increase the Ca/(Na+Mg) ratio ameliorated the effects of salt, but more so in wheat than in barley. At least part of the difference in salt tolerance between the two species must therefore relate to species differences in the interaction of salinity and Ca nutrition. The greater response of wheat to Ca was not due to a lower Ca status in leaf tissue; on the contrary, although Ca amendments improved tissue Ca/(Na+Mg) ratios in both species, salinized wheat had equivalent or higher Ca content, and higher Ca/(Na+Mg) ratios than did barley. The higher Ca requirement of wheat is apparently specific to a saline situation; at low salinity, wheat growth was not reduced as extensively as that of barley as Ca/(Na+Mg) ratio was decreased. High night-time humidity dramatically improved wheat growth under saline conditions, but increasing the Ca concentration of the saline solution had no effect on growth in the high humidity treatment. Membrane leakage from leaf tissue of wheat grown under saline conditions was increased compared to tissue from non-saline plants. Plants grown in Ca-amended saline solutions showed no increase in membrane leakage. These results confirm the importance of Ca interaction with salinity stress, and indicate differences in species response.     

The Influence of Microtopography on Soil Nutrients in Created Mitigation Wetlands

This study explores the relationship between microtopography and soil nutrients (and trace elements), comparing results for created and reference wetlands in Virginia, and examining the effects of disking during wetland creation. Replicate multiscale tangentially conjoined circular transects were used to quantify microtopography both in terms of elevation and by two microtopographic indices. Corresponding soil samples were analyzed for moisture content, total C and N, KCl-extractable NH₄–N and NO₃–N, and Mehlich-3 extractable P, Ca, Mg, K, Al, Fe, and Mn. Means and variances of soil nutrient/element concentrations were compared between created and natural wetlands and between disked and nondisked created wetlands. Natural sites had higher and more variable soil moisture, higher extractable P and Fe, lower Mn than created wetlands, and comparatively high variability in nutrient concentrations. Disked sites had higher soil moisture, NH₄–N, Fe, and Mn than did nondisked sites. Consistently low variances (Levene test for inequality) suggested that nondisked sites had minimal nutrient heterogeneity. Across sites, low P availability was inferred by the molar ratio (Mehlich-3 [P/(Al + Fe)] < 0.06); strong intercorrelations among total C, total N, and extractable Fe, Al, and P suggested that humic–metal–P complexes may be important for P retention and availability. Correlations between nutrient/element concentrations and microtopographic indices suggested increased Mn and decreased K and Al availability with increased surface roughness. Disking appears to enhance water and nutrient retention, as well as nutrient heterogeneity otherwise absent from created wetlands, thus potentially promoting ecosystem development.     

Influence of the Ca/Mg ratio on Cu resistance in three Silene armeria ecotypes adapted to calcareous soil or to different, Ni- or Cu-enriched, serpentine sites

This hydroponic study addresses the influence of low (0.3) and high (4.0) Ca/Mg molar ratios on Cu resistance of Silene armeria ecotypes from different habitats: a calcareous soil (ecotype Cadriano), a Ni-rich serpentine site (ecotype Prinzera), and an acid Cu-mine spoil soil containing serpentinite (ecotype Vigonzano). Under control conditions, without excess Cu, only Cadriano was negatively affected by the low Ca/Mg ratio. Under both low and high Ca/Mg ratios Cu resistance followed the order Vigonzano > Prinzera > Cadriano. More efficient Cu exclusion accounted for enhanced Cu resistance in Prinzera. The low Ca/Mg ratio increased Cu uptake in Prinzera but did not worsen toxicity effects; i.e. the plants had higher internal Cu effect concentrations. In Vigonzano Cu resistance was enhanced by the low Ca/Mg ratio. This was due only in part to better Cu exclusion. Magnesium-induced tolerance to higher Cu tissue concentrations appears to be in ecotypes from serpentine and acid mine spoils, but not in plants from calcareous soil, the exposure to low Ca/Mg ratio favours internal detoxification of Cu by means of more efficient chelation and compartmentation.     

保护性耕作对土壤交换性盐基组成的影响

以辽宁省彰武县保护性耕作示范推广基地土壤为研究对象,通过实地调查和取样分析,对比研究了传统犁耕和6年保护性耕作（免耕秸秆覆盖）条件下的土壤交换性盐基组成.结果表明：在15 cm土层内,保护性耕作土壤的交换性K、Ca、Mg含量和盐基总量（SEB）较传统犁耕均有不同程度增加,表明保护性耕作使土壤的保肥和缓冲能力增强.相关分析表明,这与土壤的有机质和粘粒含量的变化密切相关;保护性耕作土壤的K/SEB和Ca/Mg高于传统犁耕,而(Ca+Mg)/SEB、Ca/K和Mg/K低于传统犁耕,说明保护性耕作对土壤交换性盐基比例关系的影响以交换性Ca、K特别是K的相对富集为主要特征;保护性耕作提高了交换性K、Ca、Mg含量与SEB的分层比率(0～5 cm/5～15 cm和0～5 cm/15～30 cm),表明交换性盐基在耕层剖面的垂直变异性增强.

Relationships among foliar chemistry, foliar polyamines, and soil chemistry in red spruce trees growing across the northeastern United States

Forest trees are constantly exposed to various types of natural and anthropogenic stressors. A major long-term goal of our research is to develop a set of early physiological and biochemical markers of stress in trees before the appearance of visual symptoms. Six red spruce (t Picea rubens Sarg.) stands from the northeastern United States were selected for collection of soil and foliage samples. All of the chosen sites had soil solution pH values below 4.0 in the Oa horizon but varied in their geochemistry. Some of these sites were apparently under some form of environmental stress as indicated by a large number of dead and dying red spruce trees. Samples of soil and needles (from apparently healthy red spruce trees) were collected from these sites four times during a two-year period. The needles were analyzed for perchloric acid-soluble polyamines and exchangeable inorganic ions. Soil and soil solution samples from the Oa and B horizons were analyzed for their exchange chemistry. The data showed a strong positive correlation between Ca and Mg concentrations in the needles and in the Oa horizon of the soil. However, needles from trees growing on relatively Ca-rich soils with a low exchangeable Al concentration and a low Al:Ca soil solution ratio had significantly lower concentrations of putrescine and spermidine than those growing on Ca-poor soils with a high exchangeable Al concentration and a high Al:Ca soil solution in the Oa horizon. The magnitude of this change was several fold higher for putrescine concentrations than for spermidine concentrations. Neither putrescine nor spermidine were correlated with soil solution Ca, Mg, and Al concentrations in the B horizon. The putrescine concentrations of the needles always correlated significantly with exchangeable Al (r²=0.73, t p0.05) and soil solution Al:Ca ratios (r²=0.91, t p0.01) of the Oa horizon. This suggests that in conjunction with soil chemistry, putrescine and/or spermidine may be used as a potential early indicator of Al stress before the appearance of visual symptoms in red spruce trees.     

Changes in the microbial community in a forest soil amended with aluminium in situ

Considerable knowledge exists about the effect of aluminium (Al) on root vitality, but whether elevated levels of Al affect soil microorganisms is largely unknown. We thus compared soils from Al-treated and control plots of a field experiment with respect to microbial and chemical parameters, as well as root growth and vitality. The field experiment was established in a 50-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) stand where no Al or low concentrations of Al had been added every 7–10 days during the growth season for 7 years. Analysis of soil solutions collected using zero tension lysimeters and porous suction cups showed that Al treatment lead to increased concentrations of Al, Ca and Mg and lower pH and [Ca + Mg + K/Al] molar ratio. Corresponding soil analyses showed that soil pH remained unaffected (pH 3.8), that exchangeable Al increased, while exchangeable Ca and Mg decreased due to the Al treatment. Root in-growth into cores placed in the upper 20 cm of the soil during three growth seasons was not affected by Al additions, neither was nutrient concentration or mortality of these roots. The biomass of some taxonomic groups of soil microorganisms, analyzed using specific membrane components (phospholipid fatty acids; PLFAs), was clearly affected by the imposed Al treatment, both in the organic soil horizon and in the underlying mineral soil. Microbial community structure in both horizons was also clearly modified by the Al treatment. Shifts in PLFA trans/cis ratios indicative of short term physiological stress were not observed. Yet, aluminium stress was indicated both by changes in community structure and in ratios of single PLFAs for treated/untreated plots. Thus, soil microorganisms were more sensitive indicators of subtle chemical changes in soil than chemical composition and vitality of roots.

Intracellular and Extracellular Biomineralization Induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae LH1 Isolated from Dolomites

Abstract

The interaction between bacteria and minerals is very complicated and has been intensively studied in the laboratory and the field in the last few decades, but the processes and mechanisms of biomineralization and mineral precipitation are still not fully understood and need to be explored further. In the present work, biomineralization experiments were undertaken using Klebsiella pneumoniae LH1, collected from a natural surface environment in an area of outcrops of Cambrian dolomite, in a culture medium with various Mg/Ca molar ratios (0, 3, 6 and 12). The mineral precipitates obtained were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Cells were analyzed with a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The composition of amino acids in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) was also determined. In the experiments it was found that the production of ammonia and the presence of carbonate anhydrase promoted the increase of the medium pH and that minerals are nucleated on the EPS, which consist chiefly of amino acids and negatively-charged organic functional groups. With increasing Mg/Ca ratios, the mineral phases changed, including calcite (100%) at Mg/Ca molar ratio of 0, monohydrocalcite (36.05%) + dypingite (63.95%) at Mg/Ca molar ratio of 3, monohydrocalcite (29.72%) + dypingite (15.48%) + nesquehonite (54.80%) at Mg/Ca molar ratio of 6, and monohydrocalcite (14.2%) + dypingite (1.0%) + nesquehonite (84.80%) at Mg/Ca molar ratio of 12. Some intracellular amorphous calcium- and magnesium-rich inclusions were also detected in K. pneumoniae LH1, suggesting intracellular biomineralization accompanying the extracellular mineral precipitation. This study provides further understanding of the biomineralization processes of microorganisms.
