不同森林恢复方式对我国南方红壤区土壤质量的影响

2008-2009年在我国南方红壤区,研究了3种典型森林恢复方式(自然恢复的天然次生林、人工恢复的本地种马尾松人工林和引进种湿地松人工林)对林地土壤质量的影响.结果表明： 天然次生林的土壤含水量、土壤容重、土壤粒径构成、土壤全碳、全氮、全磷、有机碳、速效氮、速效磷、速效钾含量均优于两种人工林.综合土壤物理性状、化学性状和微生物性状得到土壤质量综合指数.天然次生林土壤的综合质量指数(1.20±0.10)显著高于马尾松人工林(0.59±0.03)和湿地松人工林(0.59±0.06),而两种人工林之间差异不显著.在我国南方红壤区,自然恢复的天然次生林土壤质量优于人工恢复的马尾松林和湿地松林.     

南方红壤区3种典型森林恢复方式对植物群落多样性的影响

合理的森林恢复方式能提高植物多样性,进而提高生态系统服务功能.在我国南方红壤区研究了3种典型森林恢复方式(引进种恢复的湿地松(Pinus elliottii)人工林本地种恢复的马尾松(Pinus massoniana)人工林和自然恢复的天然次生林)的植物区系构成和植物群落多样性.结果表明:(1)湿地松人工林有155种植物,隶属66科118属,马尾松人工林有137种植物,隶属59科97属;天然次生林有226种植物,隶属86科160属,3种森林恢复方式的乔木层、灌木层和草本层的优势科属明显不同,马尾松人工林的优势物种和天然次生林更相似;(2)天然次生林的植物区系基本构成、植物区系类型种类高于马尾松人工林和湿地松人工林,并且天然次生林的温带成分比例高于湿地松人工林;(3)恢复方式对植物群落的多样性指数有显著影响,天然次生林的物种丰富度、辛普森指数明显高于马尾松人工林和湿地松人工林,两种人工林之间差异不显著;(4)3种森林恢复方式的植物群落结构存在显著差异,相比湿地松人工林,马尾松人工林的植物群落组成与天然次生林更相似.总之,自然恢复的天然次生林植物群落多样性高于人工恢复的马尾松人工林和湿地松人工林,本地种马尾松人工林在维持区域植物群落结构功能上优于引进种湿地松人工林.     

中亚热带典型人工林土壤质量演变及其环境意义

对中亚热带不同发育阶段的杉木(Cuninghamia lanceolgta)和湿地松(Pinus elliottii)人工林以及对照次生常绿阔叶林土壤的有机质、全氮、全磷和碱解氮、速效磷和速效钾含量进行了研究.结果表明:从不同森林类型来看,土壤有机质、全氮和全磷表现为次生林高于杉木和湿地松林,且杉木随着林龄增加而增加,湿地松随林龄增加而降低,但土壤全磷相对前二者变化较平缓;土壤速效态养分总体也表现为次生林高于杉木和湿地松林,但10年生和20年生杉木林土壤碱解氮和速效钾含量低于30年生杉木林的土壤,而湿地松林土壤则相反;另外,从生态环境角度探讨了肥力指标演变可能带来的生态环境影响,提出适当延长杉木人工林轮伐期和缩短湿地松人工林轮伐期对土壤肥力和有机碳库功能保持具有现实意义.     

不同森林恢复类型对南方红壤侵蚀区土壤质量的影响

为了探讨主要森林类型对土壤质量的影响 ,对南方红壤侵蚀区 4种主要森林恢复类型下土壤物理、化学、生物学性状进行了比较研究 ,结果表明 :不同的森林恢复类型导致了土壤物理、化学和生物学性质的显著差异。 4种森林类型的土壤质量均比长期干扰下对照的土壤质量高。人工林土壤质量又相对比天然次生林土壤质量低。其土壤质量综合指数分别为 :天然次生林(0 .95 )、油茶林 (0 .6 8)、杉木林 (0 .5 5 )、湿地松林 (0 .36 )、对照 (0 .0 4 )。自然恢复在恢复初期是提高土壤质量的有效途径。导致人工林和对照土壤质量相对较低的主要因素是 :周期性的森林抚育打破土壤物理结构、凋落物质量较低、凋落物量较低、微生物生物量较低、微生物功能较差和土壤养分流失严重。在土壤质量指标选择方面 ,土壤微生物生物量结合微生物功能多样性是反映土壤生物学活性和土壤质量的较好指标。     

侵蚀退化红壤自然恢复下土壤生物学质量演变特征

为了探讨严重侵蚀退化红壤区自然植被恢复过程中土壤生物学质量演变特征,对南方严重侵蚀退化红壤自然植被恢复的4个演替阶段（裸地,地衣地,苔藓地和草地）,以及该地区人工马尾松林地的土壤微生物量、酶活性和线虫数量进行了比较研究。结果表明：在侵蚀红壤自然恢复过程中土壤生物学性质演变特征明显。在恢复初期,地衣和苔藓对土壤生物学性质的改善主要体现在土壤表层。在0～2cm土层地衣地土壤微生物量碳、氮、蔗糖酶和脲酶活性高于裸地,但差异不显著;苔藓地表层微生物量氮、脲酶和酸性磷酸酶活与人工马尾松林地已无显著差异,表明苔藓地是严重侵蚀退化红壤自然恢复过程中土壤质量改善的重要阶段。裸地、地衣地和苔藓地土壤线虫恢复程度低于微生物量和酶活性。草地土壤微生物量碳、氮和3种酶活性以及线虫数量则显著高于自然恢复初期各阶段。与人工恢复林相比较,自然恢复草地表层土壤生物学质量优于人工马尾松林地,但对深层土壤的改善效果不如林地。相关分析表明自然恢复过程中土壤微生物与酶活性的改善程度比较一致,而土壤线虫对自然植被恢复响应与微生物和酶活性不尽相同。     

中国北亚热带天然次生林与杉木人工林土壤活性有机碳库的比较

为了了解北亚热带东部地区天然次生林转变成杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)人工林对土壤活性有机碳库的影响, 以浙江省富阳市庙山坞森林生态系统定位研究站杉木人工林和天然次生林为研究对象, 对达到成熟林状态的两种林分类型0-60 cm内各土层土壤活性有机碳含量进行了比较研究。结果表明: 1)天然次生林土壤总有机碳、易氧化有机碳、水溶性有机碳和轻组有机质含量均高于杉木人工林, 与人工杉木林相比, 增幅分别为19.0%-32.6%、0.8%-30.3%、3.8%-54.1%和6.3%-38.6%, 且在0-10和10-20 cm土层差异显著(p < 0.05) (水溶性有机碳仅在0-10 cm土层差异显著); 2)杉木人工林土壤水溶性有机碳与易氧化碳占总有机碳的比率均高于天然次生林; 3)两个林分土壤水溶性有机碳、易氧化碳和轻组有机质与总有机碳含量均呈现极显著相关, 且天然次生林土壤易氧化碳、轻组有机质与总有机碳的相关系数均大于杉木人工林; 4)土壤有机碳、水溶性有机碳、易氧化碳和轻组有机质与土壤养分(全氮、水解氮、速效磷、速效钾、速效钙和速效镁)的相关性均达到显著(p < 0.05)或极显著(p < 0.01)水平。     

生态恢复对马尾松叶片化学计量及氮磷转移的影响

为了解生态恢复对侵蚀红壤恢复的马尾松林叶片碳氮磷化学计量及氮磷养分转移的影响,在福建省长汀县河田镇典型侵蚀红壤区选取恢复13、30、33a的马尾松林为研究对象,并以未治理侵蚀地(CK1)和次生林(CK2)分别作为恢复前和恢复后的对照,通过测定马尾松叶片的碳、氮、磷含量,计算其计量比,内稳性指数和氮磷转移率,分析了侵蚀红壤生长的马尾松养分限制与养分转移的关系。结果表明:在侵蚀红壤恢复过程中,马尾松1年龄叶片C、N、P含量及1年龄叶片C∶N、C∶P、N∶P变化较小,这与马尾松较高的内稳性有关(N和P内稳性指数分别为7.57和3.89)。所有实验地马尾松1年龄叶片N∶P处于11.0—13.4之间,表明马尾松的生长受N、P共同限制,其中马尾松叶片N转移率显著低于P转移率,这与生态恢复过程中马尾松养分利用效率、生长需求以及土壤养分供应状况有关。1年龄叶片C∶N、C∶P分别与马尾松N、P转移率成负相关关系,当马尾松叶片C∶N、C∶P较低时,表明N、P利用效率较低,叶片衰老时更多的N和P被转移利用;反之,则N、P利用效率较高,转移率低。同时,C∶N、C∶P分别与树高、胸径成显著负相关关系,即马尾松生长对N、P的需求同样会影响化学计量比的变化,从而影响养分转移。虽然侵蚀地生态恢复过程中土壤N、P含量增加,但仍较贫瘠,不足以满足马尾松的生长,马尾松养分转移率较高,因此,为了提高侵蚀地恢复的马尾松林的生产力,建议下一步恢复措施中适当施加N肥和P肥。该研究将侵蚀红壤不同生态恢复年限的马尾松叶片C、N、P化学计量及养分转移结合,有助于全面、系统地揭示生态恢复过程马尾松林的养分循环,对指导侵蚀红壤恢复和提高马尾松生产力具有重要意义。     

湿地松和马尾松人工林土壤甲烷代谢微生物群落的结构特征

土壤甲烷代谢微生物影响甲烷的产生和氧化,然而关于林型对土壤中甲烷代谢微生物群落结构影响的研究较少。采用基因芯片GeoChip 3.0研究了湿地松人工林和马尾松人工林土壤甲烷代谢微生物群落结构特征。结果如下,(1)两种林型的甲烷代谢微生物群落结构存在极显著差异(P=0.008),林型能解释其34.9%的变异;(2)产甲烷菌(包含甲基辅酶M还原α亚基基因mcrA的微生物)的优势菌群发生了变化,湿地松人工林的的优势菌为Methanocorpusculum labreanum Z,马尾松人工林的优势菌群除Methanocorpusculum labreanum Z外,还包括产甲烷古菌和Methanosarcina mazei Gol;(3)甲烷营养菌(包含甲烷单加氧酶基因pmoA基因的微生物)的优势菌为Ⅱ型,有3种不可培养细菌只在湿地松人工林检测到,在马尾松人工林中未检测到;(4)mcrA基因丰度或同源基因数量与土壤容重正相关,与土壤粘粒含量呈显著负相关;pmoA基因信号强度或多样性指数与土壤全碳含量、全磷含量和速效氮含量显著正相关。总之,相比本地种马尾松人工林,引进种湿地松人工林的土壤甲烷代谢微生物群落结构发生了显著变化。     

桂北喀斯特山区不同植被类型土壤碳库管理指数的变化特征

以广西北部喀斯特石山地区不同植被类型(青冈栎次生林、灌丛、马尾松林、竹林、草地、农田、裸地)土壤为研究对象,探讨植被类型对活性有机碳库以及土壤碳库管理指数的影响,为喀斯特山区生态环境建设提供依据。结果表明:1)青冈栎次生林土壤碳储量、全氮含量、速效氮含量显著高于其他植被,土壤容重小于除农田以外的其他植被类型; 2)不同植被类型下土壤有机碳(SOC)、活性有机碳(LOC)含量均随土层深度的增加而降低,0～40cm土层SOC含量为1.07～29.76 g·kg~(-1),大小关系表现为青冈栎次生林灌丛马尾松林竹林草地农田裸地; LOC含量为0.58～13.77 g·kg~(-1),表现为青冈栎次生林灌丛马尾松林竹林农田草地裸地; LOC/SOC表现为青冈栎次生林最小,农田最大; 3)土壤碳库管理指数随土层深度的变化为先减小后增加再减小的趋势,0～40 cm土层CPMI平均值表现为青岗栎次生林灌丛马尾松林农田竹林草地裸地; 4)土壤植被类型、土层深度以及二者的交互作用对土壤碳库管理指数及碳库特征具有显著影响。本研究表明,增加植被覆盖以及减少人为活动的干扰,能提高土壤有机碳含量,有利于维持桂北喀斯特山区土壤碳库的稳定性。     

植被恢复对西南喀斯特地区土壤气候韧性的提升作用

土壤质量提升是生态系统应对气候变化能力增强的关键。为探究气候变化背景下不同植被恢复方式对喀斯特地区土壤质量的影响,基于黔桂喀斯特地区气候梯度样带84个样方土壤物理、化学和生物性质综合分析,分别以耕地和次生林作为退化和顶级恢复对照,探讨了自然恢复(灌木林)和人工恢复(人工林)的土壤质量提升效应及其对气候变化的响应。结果表明:(1)植被恢复不仅显著提高了土壤细菌、真菌、放线菌等微生物丰度以及有机碳、全氮、速效氮等养分含量,也对土壤质地有一定改善;(2)自然恢复和人工恢复均提高了土壤质量,两种恢复方式之间土壤质量指数无显著差异,但与次生林依然存在差距。灌木林和人工林的土壤质量仅约为次生林土壤质量的62%-66%;(3)耕地土壤质量随年均温和年平均降雨量的增加而下降,次生林的土壤质量随年平均降雨量的增加而上升,植被恢复对土壤质量的提升率与年均温和年平均降雨量呈正相关关系。阐明了在一定范围的气候变化下进行植被恢复可以显著提升喀斯特地区土壤的气候韧性,揭示了喀斯特地区植被恢复对土壤质量的提升主要是由于提高了土壤碳氮养分含量及改善了土壤微生物群落结构,这为全球气候变化背景下喀斯特退化土地生态恢复和管理提供了理论依据。     

植物、土壤及土壤管理对土壤微生物群落结构的影响

土壤微生物是土壤生态系统的重要组成部分,对土壤微生物群落结构多样性的研究是近年来土壤生态学研究的热点。本文综述了有关植物、土壤类型以及土壤管理措施对土壤微生物群落结构影响的最新研究结果,指出植物的作用因植物群落结构多样性、植物种类、同种植物不同的基因型,甚至同一植物不同根的区域而异;而土壤的作用与土壤质地和有机质含量等因素有关;植物和土壤类型在对土壤微生物群落结构影响上的作用存在互作关系。不同的土壤管理措施对土壤微生物群落结构影响较大,长期连作、大量的外援化学物质的应用降低了土壤微生物的多样性;而施用有机肥、免耕可以增加土壤微生物群落结构多样性,有利于维持土壤生态系统的功能。     

Estimating respiration of roots in soil: Interactions with soil CO2, soil temperature and soil water content

Little information is available on the variability of the dynamics of the actual and observed root respiration rate in relation to abiotic factors. In this study, we describe I) interactions between soil CO₂ concentration, temperature, soil water content and root respiration, and II) the effect of short-term fluctuations of these three environmental factors on the relation between actual and observed root respiration rates. We designed an automated, open, gas-exchange system that allows continuous measurements on 12 chambers with intact roots in soil. By using three distinct chamber designs with each a different path for the air flow, we were able to measure root respiration over a 50-fold range of soil CO₂ concentrations (400 to 25000 ppm) and to separate the effect of irrigation on observed vs. actual root respiration rate. All respiration measurements were made on one-year-old citrus seedlings in sterilized sandy soil with minimal organic material.Root respiration was strongly affected by diurnal fluctuations in temperature (Q₁₀ = 2), which agrees well with the literature. In contrast to earlier findings for Douglas-fir (Qi et al., 1994), root respiration rates of citrus were not affected by soil CO₂ concentrations (400 to 25000 ppm CO₂; pH around 6). Soil CO₂ was strongly affected by soil water content but not by respiration measurements, unless the air flow for root respiration measurements was directed through the soil. The latter method of measuring root respiration reduced soil CO₂ concentration to that of incoming air. Irrigation caused a temporary reduction in CO₂ diffusion, decreasing the observed respiration rates obtained by techniques that depended on diffusion. This apparent drop in respiration rate did not occur if the air flow was directed through the soil. Our dynamic data are used to indicate the optimal method of measuring root respiration in soil, in relation to the objectives and limitations of the experimental conditions.     

生物质炭对水稻土团聚体微生物多样性的影响

生物质炭施用对土壤微生物群落结构的影响已有报道,但土壤团聚体粒组中微生物群落对生物质炭施用的响应的研究还相对不足。以施用玉米秸秆生物质炭两年后的水稻土为对象,采用团聚体湿筛法,通过高通量测序对土壤团聚体的微生物群落结构与多样性进行分析,结果表明:(1)与对照相比,生物质炭施用显著促进了大团聚体(2000—250μm)的形成,并提高了团聚体的稳定性。(2)不同粒径团聚体间微生物相对丰度存在显著差异。在未施生物质炭的处理(C0)中,随着团聚体粒径增大,变形菌门、子囊菌门、β-变形杆菌目、格孢腔菌目的相对丰度逐渐降低,而酸杆菌门、担子菌门、粘球菌目、类球囊霉目的相对丰度逐渐升高。(3)生物质炭施用显著改变了团聚体间的微生物群落结构。与C0处理相比,生物质炭施用处理的大团聚体中变形菌门、鞭毛菌门和β-变形杆菌目的相对丰度分别显著提高了14.37%、33.28%和33.82%;微团聚体(250—53μm)中酸杆菌门、子囊菌门和粘球菌目的相对丰度分别显著降低了20.15%、19.93%和17.66%;粉、黏粒组分(53μm)中担子菌门的相对丰度升高90.25%,而子囊菌门和鞭毛菌门的相对丰度分别降低12.15%和12.58%。由此可见,生物质炭不仅改变土壤团聚体组成和分布,同时伴随着土壤微生物群落结构的改变。     

Available soil nitrogen in relation to fractions of soil nitrogen and other soil properties

The available N of 27 soils from England and Wales was assessed from the amounts of N taken up over a 6-month period by perennial ryegrass grown in pots under uniform environmental conditions. Relationships between availability and the distribution of soil N amongst various fractions were then examined using multiple regression. The relationship: available soil N (mg kg^–1 dry soil)=(N_min×0.672)+(N_inc×0.840)+(N_mom×0.227)–5.12 was found to account for 91% of the variance in available soil N, where N_min=mineral N, N_inc=N mineralized on incubation and N_mom=N in macro-organic matter. The N mineralized on incubation appeared to be derived largely from sources other than the macro-organic matter because these two fractions were poorly correlated. When availability was expressed in terms of available organic N as % of soil organic N (N_ao) the closest relationship with other soil characteristics was: N_ao=[N_inc×(1.395–0.0347×CN_mom]+[N_mom×0.1416], where CN_mom=CN ratio of the macro-organic matter. This relationship accounted for 81% of the variance in the availability of the soil organic N.The conclusion that the macro-organic matter may contribute substantially to the available N was confirmed by a subsidiary experiment in which the macro-organic fraction was separated from about 20 kg of a grassland soil. The uptake of N by ryegrass was then assessed on two subsamples of this soil, one without the macro-organic matter and the other with this fraction returned: uptake was appreciably increased by the macro-organic matter.     

Effect of soil moisture on bioremediation of chlorophenol-contaminated soil

A chlorophenol-contaminated soil was tested for the biodegradability in a semi-pilot scale microcosm using indigenous microorganisms. More than 90% of 4-chlorophenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, initially at 30 mg kg^–1, were removed within 60 days and 30 mg pentachlorophenol kg^–1 was completely degraded within 140 days. The chlorophenols were degraded more effectively under aerobic condition than under anaerobic condition. Soil moisture had a significant effect with the slowest degradation rate of chlorophenols at 25% in the range of 10–40% moisture content. At 25–40%, the rate of chlorophenol degradation was directly related to the soil moisture content, whereas at 10–25%, it was inversely related. Limited oxygen availability through soil agglomeration at 25% moisture content might decrease the degradation rate of chlorophenols.     

The porosity of soil aggregates from bulk soil and from soil adhering to roots

Summary Total porosity and pore-size distribution (p.s.d.) were determined in soil aggregates taken in plots planted with maize and treated with farmyard manure and three rates of compost. Soil aggregates were collected from the soil adherent to the maize roots (root soil aggregates) and from bulk soil (bulk soil aggregates). Mercury intrusion porosimetry was used to evaluate the total porosity and the p.s.d. Treatments did not affect the total porosity of the bulk soil aggregates. The same was observed for the root soil aggregates. However the total porosity of the root soil aggregates was always lower than that of the bulk soil aggregates. The loss of total porosity was found to be due to a decrease in the percentage of larger pores with respect to the total.     

耕作方式对潮土土壤团聚体微生物群落结构的影响

为探究不同耕作方式对潮土土壤团聚体微生物群落结构和多样性的影响,采用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)法测定了土壤团聚体中微生物群落。试验设置4个耕作处理,分别为旋耕+秸秆还田(RT)、深耕+秸秆还田(DP)、深松+秸秆还田(SS)和免耕+秸秆还田(NT)。结果表明:与RT相比,DP处理显著提高了原状土壤和>5 mm粒级土壤团聚体中真菌PLFAs量和真菌/细菌,为真菌的繁殖提供了有利条件,有助于土壤有机质的贮存,提高了土壤生态系统的缓冲能力;提高了5～2 mm粒级土壤团聚体中细菌PLFAs量,降低了土壤革兰氏阳性菌/革兰氏阴性菌,改善了土壤营养状况;提高了<0.25 mm粒级土壤团聚体中微生物丰富度指数。总的来说,深耕+秸秆还田(DP)对土壤团聚体细菌和真菌生物量有一定的提高作用,并且在一定程度上改善了土壤团聚体微生物群落结构,有利于增加土壤固碳能力和保持土壤微生物多样性。冗余分析结果表明,土壤团聚体总PLFAs量、细菌、革兰氏阴性菌和放线菌PLFAs量与土壤有机碳相关性较强,革兰氏阳性菌PLFAs量与总氮相关性较强。各处理较大粒级土壤团聚体微生物群落主要受碳氮比、含水量、pH值和团聚体质量分数的影响,较小粒级土壤团聚体微生物群落则主要受土壤有机碳和总氮的影响。     

Bioremediation of pentachlorophenol-contaminated soil by bioaugmentation using activated soil

The use of an indigenous microbial consortium, pollutant-acclimated and attached to soil particles (activated soil), was studied as a bioaugmentation method for the aerobic biodegradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in a contaminated soil. A 125-l completely mixed soil slurry (10% soil) bioreactor was used to produce the activated soil biomass. Results showed that the bioreactor was very effective in producing a PCP-acclimated biomass. Within 30 days, PCP-degrading bacteria increased from 10⁵ cfu/g to 10⁸ cfu/g soil. Mineralization of the PCP added to the reactor was demonstrated by chloride accumulation in solution. The soil-attached consortium produced in the reactor was inhibited by PCP concentrations exceeding 250 mg/l. This high level of tolerance was attributed to the beneficial effect of the soil particles. Once produced, the activated soil biomass remained active for 5 weeks at 20 °C and for up to 3 months when kept at 4 °C. The activated attached soil biomass produced in the completely mixed soil slurry bioreactor, as well as a PCP-acclimated flocculent biomass obtained from an air-lift immobilized-soil bioreactor, were used to stimulate the bioremediation of a PCP-impacted sandy soil, which had no indigenous PCP-degrading microorganisms. Bioaugmentation of this soil by the acclimated biomass resulted in a 99% reduction (from 400 mg/kg to 5 mg/kg in 130 days) in PCP concentration. The PCP degradation rates obtained with the activated soil biomass, produced either as a biomass attached to soil particles or as a flocculent biomass, were similar.
