互花米草(Spartina alterniflora)草场土壤微生物生态分布及某些酶活性的研究

种植互花米草的盐沼土中,细菌、放线菌和真菌的数量比对照盐沼土中多。就不同深度来说,15—30厘米土层中,细菌数最多。细菌总数的增减趋势是:夏秋两季最多,冬春两季较少。在各生理类群中,氨化细菌占优势;固氮细菌、硝化细菌次之;反硝化细菌和硫酸盆还原细菌最少。内源呼吸作用强度、添加葡萄糖后的呼吸作用强度、氧化丙酮酸的能力和氧化多酚化合物的能力皆显示出同样的趋势,即三年生草场土壤中生物活性最强,光滩土壤中生物活性最弱。在光滩土壤中,脲酶和过氧化氢酶活性很低,而种植互花米草的土壤中这两种酶活性较强,但与种植年限和季节变化无显著相关性。     

外来种互花米草对盐沼土壤微生物多样性的影响——以江苏滨海为例

研究了江苏滨海外来种互花米草的生长对潮间带土壤微生物特征的影响,结果显示:与原有光滩相比,互花米草的大面积生长,使当地潮间带土壤微生物量增加,并随植被的生长状况发生变化,潮间带土壤微生物对碳和营养物质的利用相对较少;同时微生物生理功能群中占优势的活动组分发生了变化,组成可能更复杂。土壤微生物群落生理功能多样性(CLPP)分析结果显示,潮间带土壤微生物群落对碳源底物的利用能力不高,所利用碳源以糖类、氨基酸类、羧酸类占优势;其中互花米草盐沼微生物利用的碳源种类多于光滩,并且不同季节土壤微生物群落碳源利用类型存在差异;潮间带土壤微生物在不同的季节中其生理功能群组成发生着变化,互花米草盐沼的土壤微生物在植被生长减弱时具有与光滩相近的代谢类群,在生理功能上具有一定的相似性;当植被生长旺盛时,其代谢类群增多,代谢强度升高,微生物群落功能多样性增加。外来种互花米草在滨海潮间带的大面积生长,改善了土壤理化性质,为该处土壤微生物提供了不同的碳源,增强了土壤微生物的活动,改变了土壤微生物群落生理功能结构。     

盐城海滨湿地盐沼植被及农作物下土壤酶活性特征

在盐城海滨湿地盐沼植被和农田内采集土壤样品,测定了4种土壤酶(脲酶、转化酶、过氧化氢酶和碱性磷酸酶)的活性,分析了盐沼植被、农作物及土壤理化因子对土壤酶活性的影响。结果表明:由海滨湿地滩涂围垦形成的各类农田其土壤酶活性较高,且均高于湿地盐沼植被;湿地盐沼植被下4种土壤酶活性均高于无植被生长的光滩,且不同类型植被间土壤酶活性差异显著;4种酶的活性大小总体表现为大豆(Glycine max)地棉花(Gossypium hirsutum)地玉米(Zea mays)地互花米草(Spartina alterniflora)滩白茅(Imperata cylindrica var.major)滩碱蓬(Suaeda salsa)滩光滩。相关分析表明,4种土壤酶之间及其与土壤有机碳、全氮均表现出显著正相关,而与土壤盐分、pH值之间存在显著负相关。海滨湿地盐沼植被的发育扩展不仅增加了土壤中的养分含量,也提高了土壤酶活性。     

崇明东滩湿地不同盐沼植物群落土壤碳储量分布

海岸带盐沼植被的高生产力对湿地土壤碳库的形成具有重要意义.本文研究了长江口崇明东滩湿地3种主要盐沼植物(芦苇、互花米草和海三棱藨草)群落生物量差异、土壤碳储量时空动态和垂向分布特征.结果表明： 湿地盐沼植被总生物量表现为互花米草群落(5750.7 g·m^-2)>芦苇群落(4655.1 g·m^-2)>海三棱藨草群落(812.7 g·m^-2),且地上生物量在夏、秋季最高,地下生物量在冬季最高.湿地土壤碳储量(0～50 cm)在春季最低,随后逐渐增加,至冬季达到最大值.土壤碳储量年增量从高潮滩向低潮滩递减,表现为芦苇群落(711.8 g·m^-2)>互花米草群落(646.2 g·m^-2)>海三棱藨草群落(185.3 g·m^-2)>光滩(65.6 g·m^-2).光滩土壤碳储量在25～30 cm处最高,海三棱藨草、互花米草和芦苇群落土壤碳储量分别在10～15、30～35和30～40 cm处达到最大值,且不同群落土壤碳储量与植被地下生物量具有显著的线性关系.     

胶州湾典型河口湿地土壤活性有机碳和酶活性对互花米草入侵的响应

以胶州湾洋河口湿地为研究对象,按照互花米草入侵年份(0、1、5、8年)分层采集土壤样品(0—10、10—20、20—40 cm和40—60 cm),研究土壤活性有机碳(LOC)和酶(脲酶、过氧化氢酶、碱性磷酸酶、蔗糖酶)活性的变化,分析土壤活性有机碳和酶活性及两者相关性对互花米草入侵的响应。结果表明:与光滩相比,互花米草入侵增加了表层土壤LOC含量,且随着入侵时间的延长显著增加(P0.05)。同时也改变了土壤LOC垂直分布规律,除光滩和入侵1年样地表现出沿剖面逐渐上升之外,其他样地表现为沿剖面先上升后下降趋势;互花米草入侵提高了河口湿地土壤酶活性,但并未改变酶活性随深度增加而逐渐降低的分布规律。随着入侵时间的延长4种酶活性变化趋势有所差异,过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶活性变化趋势一致,表现为随入侵时间延长先急剧增加后逐渐减少,而碱性磷酸酶和脲酶活性随着入侵时间的延长逐渐增加。Pearson相关性分析结果显示,土壤LOC和酶活性呈显著负相关且互花米草入侵时间越长两者间相关性越低,8年后无显著相关性。     

互花米草盐沼土壤有机碳库组分及结构特征

在江苏盐城互花米草(Spartina alterniflora)盐沼建立以下样地:光滩(Mudflat)、互花米草建群1a(S.alterniflora flat 2011)、5a(S.alterniflora flat 2007)、12a(S.alterniflora flat 2000)、23a(S.alterniflora flat 1989)以及碱蓬(Suaeda salsa flat 1989),采集表层土壤样品,分析土壤中的活性有机碳(可溶性有机碳、微生物量碳)特征,并利用核磁共振波谱法测定土壤总有机碳的结构图谱,研究互花米草盐沼土壤有机碳库组分及结构特征。结果表明:(1)互花米草建群后,盐沼表层土壤有机碳含量显著增加(P0.05),在0.82—7.6 g/kg之间,各样地表层土壤有机碳含量为:互花米草滩(5.57 g/kg)碱蓬滩(2.4 g/kg)光滩(1.05 g/kg);可溶性有机碳含量为:互花米草滩(36.08 mg/kg)碱蓬滩(17.43 mg/kg)光滩(6.92 mg/kg);微生物量碳含量为:互花米草滩(52.51 mg/kg)碱蓬滩(18.27 mg/kg)光滩(13.56 mg/kg)。互花米草建群后,土壤中活性碳库含量显著增加(P0.05)。(2)土壤有机碳结构以烷氧碳和芳香碳为主,其中芳香碳的平均比例(35.85%)最高,其次为烷氧碳(32.83%)和羧基碳(20.62%),烷基碳的平均比例(10.36%)最低,其中建群5a的互花米草样地(SAF2007)土壤芳香碳、烷氧碳、烷基碳含量最高,建群23a的互花米草样地(SAF1989)土壤羧基碳含量最高。(3)互花米草盐沼土壤中烷基碳/烷氧碳为:SAF2007(0.44)SSF1989(0.43)SAF2000(0.28)SAF2011(0.27)SAF1989(0.22);疏水碳/亲水碳为:SAF2007(0.97)SSF1989(0.87)SAF2000(0.85)SAF2011(0.83)SAF1989(0.81)。烷基碳/烷氧碳在建群5a后达到最高值0.44,烷基化程度最高;疏水碳/亲水碳达到最高值0.97,土壤碳库稳定性高于其它样地。     

互花米草入侵对胶州湾河口湿地土壤总铁分布的影响

互花米草是胶州湾滨海湿地典型的入侵物种,为进一步了解互花米草入侵对胶州湾河口湿地土壤总铁含量分布的影响,于2017年3月、5月、7月、9月和11月分别在互花米草湿地和光滩采集土壤样品,并对土壤总铁含量、有机质含量、土壤可溶性盐、pH、含水率、容重和土壤粒度进行测定与分析。结果表明:互花米草入侵显著提高了土壤总铁含量,两样区0—50 cm土层土壤总铁含量差异显著(P0.05),5月和7月互花米草湿地总铁含量在垂直方向上呈先上升后下降趋势;与光滩在同一采样月份相比,互花米草湿地土壤总铁含量增幅分别为25.36%、29.50%、17.52%、30.28%和14.48%。相关性分析表明,互花米草湿地和光滩土壤总铁含量均与有机质含量和可溶性盐呈显著正相关(P0.01);并且光滩土壤总铁含量与含水率呈显著正相关(P0.01),与容重呈显著负相关(P0.01),表明两样区土壤总铁含量受有机质含量和可溶性盐影响较大。     

北部湾大风江口互花米草湿地有机碳储量的分布特征

互花米草被引入我国滨海地区后,经过多年的生长与演替,改变了潮间带原有生态系统的碳储量,而影响机制仍有待深入研究。为进一步探讨互花米草入侵后潮滩有机碳储量演变特征,该文以广西北部湾大风江口入侵约6 a的互花米草湿地为研究对象,分析了2018年8月、11月及2019年1月、3月采集的样品中有机碳及相关理化指标。结果表示:(1)互花米草植物年均地上碳储量为9.68 t·hm~(-2),高于地下根系的5.56 t·hm~(-2);(2)互花米草入侵湿地土壤碳储量显著高于互花米草植物本身,且不同季节中春季土壤碳储量显著高于其他季节;(3)土壤的C/N比值为3.53～9.67,表明互花米草入侵群落有机碳受海源的潮汐输入影响较大;(4)互花米草生态系统总碳储量与土壤碳储量之间呈极显著正相关关系,且季节性变化规律一致;(5)随着入侵时间的延长,互花米草生态系统中有机碳储量呈逐渐增加的趋势,表明互花米草入侵提高了光滩的有机碳储量,并能提高光滩的固碳能力。该文可为科学评价互花米草入侵对光滩碳储量的影响提供参考。     

崇明东滩盐沼植被成带性对土壤因子的响应

对东滩湿地不同植被带与土壤环境因子的关系进行了探讨,分析植被成带性分布与土壤含水量、土壤盐度、土壤温度之间的关系,研究表明:(1)光滩(TF)、海三棱藨草(Sm)、互花米草带(Sa)土壤含水量差异显著(P0.05),随着土壤含水量的显著变化,海三棱藨草和互花米草种群分布呈现明显带状分布,土壤含水量对植被带的分布起到一定的平衡作用,在土壤经常性淹水下,互花米草种群的海向性拓殖受到一定抑制。(2)光滩带、海三棱藨草带、互花米草带之间的土壤盐分(NaCl)差异极显著(P0.001),从海向陆依次为:NaCl光滩带NaCl海三棱带NaCl互花米草带,NaCl含量增加土壤含水量相对减小,土壤盐度和含水量的差异极大影响了海三棱藨草和互花米草植被带的分布模式,从而进一步制约了其演替进程。不同植被带间温度差异显著,总体趋势为互花米草带最高而潮滩带最低,并且互花米草带土壤温度显著高于其它各带,小尺度空间上植被对环境因子的响应明显。(3)相对于7月份而言,5月份各带内土壤含水量显著较高,但植被带间没有显著性变化。光滩最高,依次为海三棱带和互花米草带。然而,7月份土壤盐度和温度显著大于5月份,互花米草带最高,依次为海三棱和光滩带。     

崇明东滩湿地营养盐与重金属的分布与累积

测定了崇明东滩湿地盐沼植物和沉积物中TN、TP、重金属Cu、Zn、Pb和Cd的含量,阐明了它们在湿地中的分布与累积特征,评估3种盐沼植物对营养盐和重金属的富集能力,并讨论了互花米草入侵对长江口湿地生态系统可能造成的影响.海三棱镳草地上部分的TN、Cu、Pb和Cd的含量均显著高于芦苇和互花米草（p＜0.01）,而地上部分TP和Zn却表现为：海三棱镳草和互花米草无显著性差异（p＞0.05）,但均显著高于芦苇（p＜0.01）.东滩湿地沉积物中TN和重金属的分布与累积特征为：芦苇带＞互花米草带＞海三棱镳草带＞光滩,即随着高程的增加,沉积物中TN和重金属的含量逐步上升;但沉积物中TP含量变化不大,基本维持在0.06%左右.基于盐沼植物地上部分的生物量,估算了3种盐沼植物地上部分的营养盐和重金属库,结果表明：互花米草地上部分的养分库和重金属库均大于芦苇和海三棱镳草,表明收获互花米草对环境的净化效果最佳,特别对磷的去除效率是最高的.     

湿地土壤硫氧化-还原过程及其与其他元素的耦合作用研究进展

湿地土壤硫(S)的氧化-还原过程是硫循环的重要环节,其对于维持湿地系统的稳定与健康具有重要意义。本文综述了湿地土壤S的氧化-还原过程及影响因素,并分析了其与其他元素耦合机制的研究进展。湿地土壤S氧化-还原过程的影响因素主要涉及生物因子(植物、微生物、底栖动物及人类活动等)和非生物因子(温度、水分和粒度等物理因素及pH、盐度、有机质等化学因素),而其与其他元素的耦合作用主要涉及碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)等生源元素以及铁(Fe)、锰(Mn)等金属元素。鉴于当前湿地土壤S氧化-还原过程影响机制揭示不深入、耦合作用研究不均衡及生态效应探讨不充分等问题,未来应重点加强S氧化-还原过程的关键功能微生物研究,强化其与痕量元素迁移转化的耦合机理研究,重视其与其他元素耦合作用的生态效应研究。     

沼泽湿地垦殖前后土壤温度变化及其对土壤热状况的影响

沼泽湿地具有重要的生态与环境功能,其对全球气候变化较为敏感,土壤温度变化能够很好地指示气候的波动.沼泽湿地土壤温度呈明显的"正弦曲线"型年、季动态,不同深度土壤年均温度呈"U"型特征.5～9月份沼泽湿地10 cm土壤平均温度为11.69±3.04℃,垦殖后农田土壤为1.80±3.41℃.沼泽湿地土壤8、9月份土壤呼吸分别为156.41±76.91 mg·m^-2·h^-1和116.75±57.43 m^-2·h^-1,是同时期农田土壤呼吸通量的14.6%和13.1%,土壤温度与土壤呼吸通量呈显著正相关关系.     

Dolichopodid Biodiversity and Site Quality Assessment of Reed Marshes And Grasslands in Belgium (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)

The conservation value of grassland and reed marsh habitats in Belgium was determined on the basis of dolichopodid communities (Diptera: Dolichopodidae). Four grassland and one reed marsh sites within the 'Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen' Nature Reserve (B.O.) (Ghent) were sampled with white water traps from March 1993 until March 1994. Subsequently, these soil faunas were compared with those of reed marsh habitats in 'Het Meetjeslandse Krekengebied' (M.K.) sampled in 1990. Comparisons of species communities were carried out by means of multivariate analysis techniques. The DCA and CCA on the B.O. sites produced a clear separation between the grassland and the reed marsh communities. Light intensity and soil humidity were among the most important factors determining species distributions. The comparison between the B.O. and M.K. communities revealed that sampling sites were clustered according to their geographical location rather than to habitat type. Overall species richness and diversity was not significantly different between grasslands and reed marshes. However, conservation quality estimates of the sites using the Site Conservation Quality Index (SCQI) indicated that reed marshes comprise a considerably larger number of rare and Red Data Book species. Moreover, besides typical reed marsh-inhabiting species, reed marshes also house species with other ecological affinities sometimes in rather high abundance. As a result, reed marshes are considered highly valuable for the survival of several wetland dolichopodid species.     

互花米草入侵影响下闽江河口湿地土壤有效硅的时空变化特征

2016年1—12月,选择闽江河口鳝鱼滩的短叶茳芏湿地、互花米草湿地以及二者的交错带湿地为研究对象,采用定位研究方法探讨了互花米草入侵影响下湿地土壤有效硅含量的时空变化特征。结果表明:互花米草入侵影响下3块湿地土壤有效硅含量随时间推移整体呈波动上升趋势;互花米草入侵显著提高了鳝鱼滩湿地30—60 cm土层土壤有效硅含量(P0.01),与短叶茳芏湿地相比,交错带湿地和互花米草湿地30—60 cm土层土壤有效硅含量分别增加了8.56%和19.97%,逐步线性回归分析表明土温和电导是影响其变化的重要因素(P0.01)。研究互花米草入侵影响下湿地土壤有效硅含量的变化特征,对于揭示湿地生态系统生源要素硅生物地球化学循环过程以及互花米草入侵及其扩张机制具有重要意义。     

互花米草入侵下湿地土壤碳氮磷变化及化学计量学特征

为阐明外来物种入侵对生态系统的改变,对闽江河口区本土植物短叶茳芏和不同入侵年限的互花米草湿地土壤总碳(TC)、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)含量进行了测定与分析.结果表明: 互花米草入侵后0～50 cm深度各层土壤TC、TN和TP含量均有不同程度的增加,其中TC、TN的变化比较一致,而TP的变化滞后;TC的增加引起土壤C/N持续增加,而TP是调节互花米草入侵过程中湿地土壤C/P和N/P的关键因子,C/P和N/P的变化基本一致.土壤TC、TN、TP的变化受到土壤盐度、容重、含水量和黏粒组成的影响,而它们之间计量比主要受土壤盐度、粒径组成的影响;C/N和C/P对互花米草湿地的土壤固碳效应具有良好的指示作用.互花米草入侵引起生物量和湿地生境改变,导致土壤碳氮磷含量及其生态化学计量比发生显著变化,且随入侵时间延长表现出不同的变化特征.     

Fifteen Years of Vegetation and Soil Development after Brackish-Water Marsh Creation

Aboveground biomass, macro‐organic matter (MOM), and wetland soil characteristics were measured periodically between 1983 and 1998 in a created brackish‐water marsh and a nearby natural marsh along the Pamlico River estuary, North Carolina to evaluate the development of wetland vegetation and soil dependent functions after marsh creation. Development of aboveground biomass and MOM was dependent on elevation and frequency of tidal inundation. Aboveground biomass of Spartina alterniflora, which occupied low elevations along tidal creeks and was inundated frequently, developed to levels similar to the natural marsh (750 to 1,300 g/m²) within three years after creation. Spartina cynosuroides, which dominated interior areas of the marsh and was flooded less frequently, required 9 years to consistently achieve aboveground biomass equivalent to the natural marsh (600 to 1,560 g/m²). Aboveground biomass of Spartina patens, which was planted at the highest elevations along the terrestrial margin and seldom flooded, never consistently developed aboveground biomass comparable with the natural marsh during the 15 years after marsh creation. MOM (0 to 10 cm) generally developed at the same rate as aboveground biomass. Between 1988 and 1998, soil bulk density decreased and porosity and organic C and N pools increased in the created marsh. Like vegetation, wetland soil development proceeded faster in response to increased inundation, especially in the streamside zone dominated by S. alterniflora. We estimated that in the streamside and interior zones, an additional 30 years (nitrogen) to 90 years (organic C, porosity) are needed for the upper 30 cm of created marsh soil to become equivalent to the natural marsh. Wetland soil characteristics of the S. patens community along upland fringe will take longer to develop, more than 200 years. Development of the benthic invertebrate‐based food web, which depends on organic matter enrichment of the upper 5 to 10 cm of soil, is expected to take less time. Wetland soil characteristics and functions of created irregularly flooded brackish marshes require longer to develop compared with regularly flooded salt marshes because reduced tidal inundation slows wetland vegetation and soil development. The hydrologic regime (regularly vs. irregularly flooded) of the “target” wetland should be considered when setting realistic expectations for success criteria of created and restored wetlands.     

闽江河口春季互花米草入侵过程对短叶茳芏沼泽土壤碳氮分布特征的影响

2014年4月,选择闽江口鳝鱼滩湿地中未被入侵的短叶茳芏群落(A)、互花米草入侵斑块边缘(B)以及互花米草入侵斑块中央(C)为研究对象,基于时空互代研究方法,探讨了互花米草入侵序列下湿地土壤碳氮空间分布特征的差异。结果表明,互花米草入侵显著降低了土壤的NO_3~--N含量(P0.05),但整体增加了NH_4~+-N含量,这与其入侵后导致湿地土壤颗粒组成发生显著变化(砂砾含量增加33.81%),进而促进了土壤的矿化作用和硝化作用,并有助于硝态氮的垂直淋失有关。互花米草入侵整体增加了土壤的碳氮含量和C/N比,与入侵进程和入侵前相比,互花米草入侵后湿地土壤的碳储量分别增加了8.73%和24.37%,氮储量则分别增加了10.22%和17.87%,这主要与其对闽江口湿地植物群落格局、养分生物循环以及强促淤作用引起的土壤颗粒组成等显著改变有关。研究发现,闽江口互花米草入侵对短叶茳芏湿地土壤碳氮含量的影响相对于江苏盐城、长江口以及杭州湾湿地的影响可能更为显著,其互花米草入侵较大改变了土壤中陆源和海源有机质的来源比例,使得入侵后湿地土壤养分的自源性增强。     

Timing of seed dispersal generates a bimodal seed bank depth distribution

The density of soil seed banks is normally highest at the soil surface and declines monotonically with depth. Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, peak density occurs below the surface but, except in severely disturbed soils, it is generally true that deeper seeds are older. In seasonally dry habitats that develop deep soil cracks during the dry season, it is possible that some seeds fall down cracks and rapidly become deeply buried. We investigated this possibility for three dominant clonal perennials (Scirpus maritimus, S. litoralis, and Juncus subulatus) in the Do?ana salt marsh, a nontidal marsh with a Mediterranean climate located in southwest Spain. Two species, which shed most of their seed during the dry season and have seeds with low buoyancy, had bimodal viable seed depth distributions, with peak densities at the surface and at 16-20 cm. A third species, which shed most seeds after soil cracks had closed and had seeds with high buoyancy, had viable seeds only in surface soil. Bimodal seed bank depth distributions may be relatively common in seasonally dry habitats with fine-textured soils, but their ecological significance has not been investigated.     

Effect of the Spartina alterniflora Root-Rhizome System on Salt Marsh Soil Denitrifying Bacteria

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) reductase activity was used as an index of the denitrification potential in salt marsh soils. In a short Spartina alterniflora marsh, the seasonal distribution of N₂O reductase activity indicated a causal relationship between S. alterniflora root-rhizome production and the denitrification potential of the soil system. The relationship was not discerned in samples from a tall S. alterniflora marsh. To further examine the in situ plant-denitrifier interaction in the short S. alterniflora marsh, plots with and without living S. alterniflora were established and analyzed for N₂O reductase activity 5 and 18 months later. In the plots without living Spartina there was a significant reduction in the soil denitrification potential after 18 months, indicating that in the SS marsh the denitrifiers are tightly coupled to the seasonal production of below-ground Spartina macroorganic matter. In plots with intact Spartina, the soil denitrification potential was not altered by NH₄NO₃ or glucose enrichment. However, in plots without living Spartina, there were significant changes in soil N₂O reductase activity, thus indicating that the plants can serve as a “buffer” against this form of pulse perturbation.
