Phosphorus transformations along a soil/vegetation series of fire-prone, dolomitic, semi-arid shrublands of southern Spain Soil P and Mediterranean shrubland dynamic

Models of P transformations duringpedogenesis and with succession have developed fromstudies in temperate humid regions with neutral toacidic soils. Little is known about P biogeochemistryand P availability in semi-arid Mediterranean-typeshrublands with alkaline soils. We studied Ptransformations in a series of semi-arid, dolomiticshrublands in southeastern Spain, ranging from afrequently-burned, open gorse-scrubland on erodedTypic Xerorthents to a long-unburned, mature garrigueon Entic Haploxerolls. In contrast to the commonpattern of decreasing total P concentrations in thesoil profile with soil development due to leaching,total P increased markedly in this system. This is dueto concentration increases of relatively insolubleelements (P, Al, Fe, Ti) as karstification of parentmaterial (dolomitic marbles with up to 94% Ca-Mgcarbonate) during pedogenesis released bicarbonateand, subsequently, Ca and Mg leached from the profileat a higher rate. The total element to Ti ratiosindicated that the relative ion weathering losssequence, from easily weathered to resistant ions, wasCa>Mg > > > Fe>=Al>Ti, showing that P islost from these shrublands at an intermediate rate. Inone extreme of the series (the open gorse-scrubland),most soil P was Ca bound and organic P concentrations,organic matter content and phosphatase activity werevery low, as predicted by the model of Walker andSyers for the initial stages of soil development.However, this site showed the highest inorganic soilsolution P concentration, low soil P fixation capacityand the lowest foliar N:P ratios. Soils from theintermediate stages of the series showed the highestlabile inorganic and labile organic P concentrations.At the other extreme of the series (the maturegarrigue), a high proportion of soil P was in occludedinorganic and organic forms as predicted by the Walkerand Syers'; model. However, Ca bound P still accountedfor the largest single P fraction. Soils showed veryhigh sorption capacity (and high extractable Fe and Alconcentrations) and released very little P tosolution. Increasing values for NaOH extractable Po,organic matter and phosphatase activity indicate thatcycling of P through organic matter is increasinglyimportant with ecosystem development through theseries.

为了探明氮(N)限制的植物群落中物种水平和功能群水平的碳(C)、N、磷(P)含量以及C:N:P对P添加的响应是否一致,明确P添加对群落物种构成改变的内在机制。以青藏高原高寒草甸为研究对象, 通过P添加试验, 研究了功能群水平和物种水平生态化学计量比对P添加的响应, 以及P添加对物种水平的优势度和功能群水平生物量的影响。结果表明: 在青藏高原高寒草甸连续5年添加P显著改变了植物的C、N、P含量以及C:N:P, 且在物种水平和功能群水平(不含典型物种)的响应规律基本一致。在禾本科、莎草科和杂类草功能群(不含典型物种)和相应物种水平上P添加对C含量影响不显著。P添加显著增加了禾本科、莎草科、豆科和杂类草4个功能群(不含典型物种)和相应物种水平的植物P含量, 降低了C:P和N:P。禾本科和莎草科的N含量和C:N对P添加在物种水平和功能群水平上(不含典型物种)的响应规律一致, 表现为N含量显著降低, C:N显著增加; P添加使豆科物种水平上N含量显著增加而C:N显著降低, 但在功能群水平上(不含典型物种)无显著作用; 杂类草的N含量和C:N对P添加在物种水平和功能群水平上(不含典型物种)的响应规律均不一致。在N限制的生境中添加P, 禾本科物种在群落中逐渐占据优势跟其增高的N、P利用效率相关, 而杂类草由于逐渐降低的N和P利用效率使其生物量在群落中所占的比重逐渐下降。     

氮磷营养因子对赤潮异弯藻生长的影响

研究了N、P营养浓度对赤潮异弯藻(Heterosigma akashiwo)生长的影响.结果表明,该藻的生长速率与N、P营养因子浓度的关系符合Monod公式.在NO₃^--N浓度达到7.5 mg·L^-1时,赤潮异弯藻开始生长;浓度为3.75～75 mg·L^-1时,赤潮异弯藻的比生长速率与NO₃^--N浓度成正比关系.N营养充足时,赤潮异弯藻的最大生长速率μ_m-n=0.3475·d^-1,K_s-n=18.91 mg·L^-1.PO₄^--P浓度为0～1.0 mg·L^-1时,赤潮异弯藻的比生长速率与P浓度成正比关系;P营养充足时,赤潮异弯藻的最大生长速率μ_m-p=0.3024·d^-1,K_s-p=0.4086 mg·L^-1.N/P达到25后藻细胞浓度达到最大,表明N/P为25时最适合赤潮异弯藻生长.赤潮异弯藻最适合在N 37.5～225.0 mg·L^-1、P 5.0～50.0 mg·L^-1、N/P=25条件下生长.

以青藏高原高寒草甸为研究对象, 通过人工氮肥添加试验, 研究6个群落优势种在不同施氮(N)水平下叶片碳(C)、N、磷(P)元素含量的变化以及生态化学计量学特征。结果表明: 自然条件下, 6个物种叶片N、P质量浓度存在显著的差异, 表现为: 黄花棘豆(Oxytropis ochrocephala)最高, 为24.5和2.51 g·kg^-1, 其叶片N含量低于而P含量高于我国其他草地的豆科植物; 其余5个物种叶片N、P质量浓度分别为11.5-18.1和1.49-1.72 g·kg^-1, 嵩草(Kobresia myosuroides)叶片N含量最低, 垂穗披碱草(Elymus nutans)叶片P含量最低, 与我国其他区域的研究结果相比, 其叶片N和P含量均低于我国其他草地非豆科植物。随氮素添加量的增大, 6种群落优势种叶片的C和P含量保持不变; 其他5种植物叶片N含量显著增加, 黄花棘豆叶片N含量保持不变。未添加氮肥时, 6种植物叶片N:P为7.3-11.2, 说明该区植物生长更多地受N限制。随N添加量的增加, 除黄花棘豆外, 其他5种植物叶片N:P大于16, 表现为植物生长受P限制。综合研究表明, 青藏草原高寒草甸植物叶片N含量较低, 植物受N影响显著, 但不同物种对N的添加反应不同, 豆科植物黄花棘豆叶片对N添加不敏感, 其他5个物种叶片全N含量随着N添加量的升高而增加, 该研究结果可为高寒草甸科学施肥提供理论依据。     

Foliar and ecosystem respiration in an old-growth tropical rain forest

Foliar respiration is a major component of ecosystem respiration, yet extrapolations are often uncertain in tropical forests because of indirect estimates of leaf area index (LAI). A portable tower was used to directly measure LAI and night-time foliar respiration from 52 vertical transects throughout an old-growth tropical rain forest in Costa Rica. In this study, we (1) explored the effects of structural, functional and environmental variables on foliar respiration; (2) extrapolated foliar respiration to the ecosystem; and (3) estimated ecosystem respiration. Foliar respiration temperature response was constant within plant functional group, and foliar morphology drove much of the within-canopy variability in respiration and foliar nutrients. Foliar respiration per unit ground area was 3.5 ± 0.2  µ mol CO₂ m⁻² s⁻¹, and ecosystem respiration was 9.4 ± 0.5  µ mol CO₂ m⁻² s⁻¹[soil = 41%; foliage = 37%; woody = 14%; coarse woody debris (CWD) = 7%]. When modelled with El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) year temperatures, foliar respiration was 9% greater than when modelled with temperatures from a normal year, which is in the range of carbon sink versus source behaviour for this forest. Our ecosystem respiration estimate from component fluxes was 33% greater than night-time net ecosystem exchange for the same forest, suggesting that studies reporting a large carbon sink for tropical rain forests based solely on eddy flux measurements may be in error.

贵州红枫湖水体叶绿素a的分布与磷循环

于2009年8月(夏季)和2010年1月(冬季)在贵州红枫湖采集了分层湖水和分层沉积物样品,分析了湖水样品的总N(TN)、总P(TP)及叶绿素a(Chl-a)含量,结果表明,湖水TN含量在2个季节无明显变化,平均含量为1.58±0.73 mg·L-1,湖水TP含量夏季(0.091±0.070 mg·L-1)高于冬季(0.026±0.055 mg·L-1).夏季湖水在8 m处有季节性分层,下层湖水TN、TP含量高于上层;夏季湖水Chl-a主要集中在上层,上层平均含量为33.2±13.0 mg·m-3,冬季湖水Chl-a平均含量为11.1±3.7 mg·m-3,分析发现,湖水上层(8 m)Chl-a与TP有明显的线性相关关系(r=0.965,P＜0.01),表明红枫湖富营养化主要受P元素限制.沉积物孔隙水中的溶解态P(DP)浓度和湖水的磷酸盐(PO3-4-P)浓度比上覆水体高,具有向上扩散的趋势,利用费克第一定律计算了沉积物向上覆水体的释P速率,发现夏季沉积物向上覆水体释P速率高于冬季,可能主要是由于夏季湖水底层的还原环境下沉积物表层的早期成岩作用生成磷酸盐进入孔隙水而促进了沉积物向上覆水体释放P.根据通量释放结果估算了全湖沉积物向水体的释P通量,约为每年5.0±5.6 t.红枫湖富营养化受P控制,沉积物向水体有很大的释放P的潜力,是湖水P的重要内源,严格控制流域的外源输入才能彻底治理该湖的富营养化.     

氮、磷添加对半干旱沙质草地植被养分动态的影响

通过对科尔沁半干旱沙质草地进行田间施肥试验,测定植被组成中黄蒿和白草在生长季内(7~10月)的养分动态变化,并结合N∶P化学计量学的原理和方法,研究了半干旱沙质草地的养分限制状况。结果表明,N、P添加下黄蒿和白草地上部分N、P养分浓度都具有明显的季节动态变化。其中,黄蒿和白草地上部分N浓度随时间呈递减的趋势,且它们随时间的递减规律分别可用线性函数Y=a bX以及幂函数Y=aXb模拟表示,函数中系数b的绝对值可以反映不同养分状况下植株的生长速率;对P浓度来说,黄蒿和白草地上部分P浓度与时间的关系可以用二次函数Y=aX2 bX c模拟。比较试验条件下植株体内N、P浓度的变化可知,在科尔沁半干旱沙质草地,N素是黄蒿和白草生长的主要养分限制因子,N肥添加下黄蒿和白草地上部分N浓度以及N∶P都显著的增加;P肥添加促进了白草对N素和P素的吸收,使地上部分N、P浓度增加,而对黄蒿没有显著的影响。     

Enhanced foliar 15N enrichment with increasing nitrogen addition rates: Role of plant species and nitrogen compounds

Determining the abundance of N isotope (δ¹⁵N) in natural environments is a simple but powerful method for providing integrated information on the N cycling dynamics and status in an ecosystem under exogenous N inputs. However, whether the input of different N compounds could differently impact plant growth and their ¹⁵N signatures remains unclear. Here, the response of ¹⁵N signatures and growth of three dominant plants (Leymus chinensis, Carex duriuscula, and Thermopsis lanceolata) to the addition of three N compounds (NH₄HCO₃, urea, and NH₄NO₃) at multiple N addition rates were assessed in a meadow steppe in Inner Mongolia. The three plants showed different initial foliar δ¹⁵N values because of differences in their N acquisition strategies. Particularly, T. lanceolata (N₂-fixing species) showed significantly lower ¹⁵N signatures than L. chinensis (associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [AMF]) and C. duriuscula (associated with AMF). Moreover, the foliar δ¹⁵N of all three species increased with increasing N addition rates, with a sharp increase above an N addition rate of ~10 g N m⁻² year⁻¹. Foliar δ¹⁵N values were significantly higher when NH₄HCO₃ and urea were added than when NH₄NO₃ was added, suggesting that adding weakly acidifying N compounds could result in a more open N cycle. Overall, our results imply that assessing the N transformation processes in the context of increasing global N deposition necessitates the consideration of N deposition rates, forms of the deposited N compounds, and N utilization strategies of the co-existing plant species in the ecosystem.

Foliar Application of Phosphorus Enhances Photosynthesis and Biochemical Characteristics of Maize under Drought Stress

Water is essential for the growth period of crops; however, water unavailability badly affects the growth and physiological attributes of crops, which considerably reduced the yield and yield components in crops. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of foliar phosphorus (P) on morphological, gas exchange, biochemical traits, and phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids grown under normal as well as water deficit situations at the Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan in 2014. Two different treatments (control and P @ 8 kg ha⁻¹ ) and four hybrids (Hycorn, 31P41, 65625, and 32B33) of maize were tested by using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Results showed that the water stress caused a remarkable decline in total soluble protein (9.7%), photosynthetic rate (9.4%) and transpiration rate (13.4%), stomatal conductance (10.2%), and internal CO₂ rate (20.4%) comparative to well-watered control. An increase of 37.1%, 36.8%, and 24.5% were recorded for proline, total soluble sugar, and total free amino acid, respectively. However, foliar P application minimized the negative impact of drought by improving plant growth, physio-biochemical attributes, and PUE in maize plants under water stress conditions. Among the hybrids tested, the hybrid 6525 performed better both under stress and non-stress conditions. These outcomes confirmed that the exogenous application of P improved drought stress tolerance by modulating growth, physio-biochemical attributes, and PUE of maize hybrids.     

C、N、P对杜氏盐藻突变藻株Zea1生长和积累玉米黄素的影响

通过UV辐照和NTG诱变处理杜氏盐藻野生型藻株得到一株杜氏盐藻高产玉米黄素突变株Zea1,以此突变藻株为实验材料,系统研究了光照强度、盐浓度、碳源、氮源、磷源等对Zea1生长和玉米黄素积累合成的影响。葡萄糖在10mmol/L时既适合Zea1生长,又有利于其玉米黄素的积累。KNO3浓度为1mmol/L时最适合突变株藻细胞生长,而(NH4)2SO4浓度为1mmol/L最有利于藻细胞内玉米黄素的积累。综合来看,1mmol/L(NH4)2SO4为最优氮源。KH2PO4浓度为0.1mmol/L时Zea1藻细胞积累玉米黄素含量最高,同时在此浓度下也最适宜藻细胞的生长。讨论了此结果的机理和意义,为利用杜氏盐藻大规模生产玉米黄素提供了理论依据。     

利用15N示踪技术研究木荷与马尾松幼苗叶片对NO2的吸收与分配

大气氮氧化物(NO_x=NO+NO₂)随着干沉降进入森林生态系统时,会首先接触森林冠层。森林乔木能通过叶片吸收多少NO₂以及对吸收的NO₂是如何分配的,目前尚不清楚。该研究利用¹⁵N稳定同位素示踪技术,对中国南方常见乔木树种木荷(Schima superba)和马尾松(Pinus massoniana)幼苗在黑暗和光照两种条件下进行了¹⁵NO₂静态箱熏蒸实验,检测并分析了两种植物的¹⁵N回收率以及吸收的NO₂在植物各组织中的分配结果。结果显示:植物主要通过气孔吸收NO₂,木荷和马尾松在黑暗条件下整体分别能回收10.3%±5.9%和20.4%±7.0%¹⁵NO₂,在光照条件下整体分别能回收35.9%±5.4%和68.2%±7.6%¹⁵NO₂。两种植物各组织中的平均干质量¹⁵

亚高寒草甸植物群落种多度分布关系及相似性对氮磷添加的响应

以青藏高原亚高寒草甸为研究对象,采用随机区组设计,通过连续4a添加N、P,研究了不同施肥(N、P、N+P)处理下群落物种丰富度、种多度分布模式以及群落相似性的变化特征。结果显示:(1)N、N+P连续添加4年后,随N素添加水平的增加,草地植物群落物种丰富度逐渐降低(P0.001);种多度分布曲线的斜率逐渐增大;N+P添加处理对植物群落物种丰富度和种多度分布(SAD)曲线的影响较单独N添加处理更显著,如N15P15处理下群落物种丰富度的降幅最大,达对照群落的65.5%;(2)单一N或N+P处理中,不同添加量间的植被组成趋异,而相同添加量的植被组成趋同(stress level=0.152);(3)N、N+P添加引起刷状根的丛生型禾本科植物逐渐在植物群落中占据优势;(4)P素添加对群落物种丰富度、种多度分布曲线、群落相似性和不同生长型组成及比例的影响不显著;(5)植物生长型特征和N/P添加处理可解释56.97%植物群落的物种多度分布特征。这些结果表明:亚高寒草甸地区N添加引起植物群落组成的重新排序、优势种的变化、SAD曲线逐渐陡峭,群落的相似性增加;N富集时,添加P素会增加N素的利用效率,且群落结构受N、P供应水平的影响。     

珠江口及毗邻海域营养盐对浮游植物生长的影响

基于2006年7月(夏季),10月(秋季)和2007年3月(春季)的现场调查数据,对珠江口及毗邻海域中的营养盐和叶绿素a等环境生态因子的时空分布特性进行了对比分析,研究了氮磷比与叶绿素a含量和种群多样性之间的联系,探讨了该海域营养盐对于浮游植物生长的影响。结果表明:(1)研究海域营养盐表现出较强的季节和空间差异性,总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)浓度均值春季(1.545 mg/L、0.056 mg/L)和夏季(1.570 mg/L、0.058 mg/L)均大于秋季(1.442 mg/L、0.034 mg/L),且春夏季浓度空间差异更明显。(2)调查期间海域营养盐含量超标现象突出,夏季尤为明显。无机氮(DIN)总体均值0.99 mg/L,超四类海水标准限值1倍,活性磷酸盐(PO4-P)总体均值0.021 mg/L,DIN∶PO4-P平均值为130;叶绿素a浓度与营养盐、p H、温度有较显著的相关性。(3)叶绿素a浓度较高的站位,具有较高的DIN∶PO4-P值,但浮游植物多样性指数偏低,优势种明显,主要为中肋骨条藻。氮磷比的改变会影响不同生长特性的浮游植物间的竞争和种群结构的改变;今后海洋污染治理中,在控制氮、磷污染时要注意氮磷比的改变可能造成的浮游生态影响。     

P effects on N uptake and remobilization during regrowth of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum)

The influence of P deficiency on the utilization of two sources of N, mineral N (exogenous N) and reserved N (endogenous N), for regrowth of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) was studied. P-sufficient (+P) or P-free (−P) nutrition solution was applied from 7 days before defoliation to 24 days of regrowth and the N flows derived from two different N sources within the plant were quantified by ¹⁵N pulse-chase labeling. Shoot regrowth significantly reduced by 12 days of regrowth, while root growth was more in −P plants. Inorganic P (P_i) concentration was highly reduced by P deprivation more in the stubble and regrowing shoots and less in the roots. At defoliation, P deprivation had induced a higher accumulation for all N compounds in the stubble and for amino acids in the roots. The previously incorporated ¹⁵N in stubble and roots as nitrate and amino acids was much decreased in −P plants especially for the first 6 days of regrowth. Total N content in the regrowing leaves was not significantly different between +P and −P plants, but percentage contribution of remobilized N for total leaf N formation was significantly higher in −P plants (78%) than in +P plants (69%) at 6 days of regrowth. From day 12, the utilization of both endogenous and exogenous N was apparently inhibited in −P plants.
