珊瑚岛礁表层土壤的主要化学性质分析

为了解我国南海岛礁表层土壤性质,对珊瑚砂和磷质石灰土的主要化学性质进行了分析。结果表明,南沙珊瑚岛礁的珊瑚砂土和西沙东岛的磷质石灰土属于碱性土(p H 8.0~9.0),而鼎湖山赤红壤为酸性土(p H 3.7~4.3)。珊瑚砂土有机碳含量(0.4%)和全氮含量(0.04%)极低,磷质石灰土的碳、氮含量分别为4.05%和0.21%,赤红壤的有机碳和全氮含量分别为2.24%和0.21%。珊瑚砂土的全磷含量(0.04%)也显著低于磷质石灰土(2.2%),但高于赤红壤的(0.02%)。珊瑚砂土和磷质石灰土的钾、钙、钠、镁、铁含量均高于赤红壤,植物群落类型对5种金属元素含量没有显著影响。这些为南海珊瑚岛礁植被恢复过程中植物定居和生长,以及珊瑚岛礁生态规划和保护奠定基础。

施用尿素引起红壤pH及铝活性的短期变化

酸性红壤在我国南方广泛分布,其酸性是限制大多数作物生长的一个主要环境胁迫因子,主要原因是低pH条件下土壤中Al的溶解所导致的毒性.对3种红壤施用不同浓度的尿素,其pH值在短期内都随着施入尿素浓度的增大而急剧上升,交换性Al随着施用尿素浓度的增大而急剧下降.交换性Al含量与土壤pH值变化呈显著负相关.动态试验表明,pH值上升的现象是短期的,pH值在达最大值后缓慢下降,下降幅度最大的阶段在第2～4周.短期内,施用尿素能显著降低酸性土壤对玉米的铝毒效应.     

改良剂对酸性土壤上伴矿景天铝毒缓解作用及镉锌吸收性的影响

Soil chemistry and plant distributions in rock habitats of southern Sweden

The vascular plant flora of open land on superficial bedrock in southem Sweden (northwards to 59°N) is described and related to soil chemical properties. including soil acidity (pH), exchangeable Al, Ca, Fe, Mn, Mg, and phosphate, as well as to soil solution pH and concentrations of Al, Ca and Mg, and to the contents of soil organic matter, soil depth and bedrock types (sandstone, gneiss, granites, various dark igneous rocks and limestones). About 120 localities with totally 652 sites (4 m²) have been examined. Experimental evidence for the toxicity of acid soils and mineral nutrient deficiency of neutral and alkaline soils is related to field data. Hydrogen and Al ion toxicity in acid soils and low phosphate solubility in neutral - alkaline soils are identified as major factors limiting the field distributions of rock habitat plants. Some species (e.g., Rumex acetosella and Sedum telephium ) were limited by phosphate also in acid soils. The relative importance of H and Al ion concentrations to plant performance under variously acid soil conditions is discussed, and strong evidence is given for a decisive influence of Al ion toxicity on species diversity at pH-KCI > 4.5. The importance of grazing and former land use is considered briefly and the floristic differences between the western and the eastern half of the study area are discussed originating from differences in general distribution patterns of species and soil chemical properties.     

Time change of aluminium toxicity in the acid bulk soil and the rhizosphere in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stands

Context

In acidic forest soils, aluminium can alter tree health due to its potential toxicity. Aluminium phytotoxicity is mainly influenced by its chemical form and its availability.

Methods

As physical-chemical indicators of Al toxicity in soil, Al speciation in soil solutions and in the exchange complex was measured in the rhizosphere and the bulk soil of two tree species (Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in an acidic soil and in 4 months (November, February, May and August) representing the four seasons in a year.

Results

In the bulk soil, Al toxicity was generally higher under Norway spruce than under beech. Furthermore, temporal changes in Al behaviour were identified under Norway spruce but not under beech. The monomeric Al in the soil solutions and the exchangeable Al in the solid soil increased significantly in February under Norway spruce and were positively correlated with nitrate concentration, suggesting that nitrate influence Al speciation and mobility under Norway spruce. In the rhizosphere, Al toxicity was restricted through Al complexation by organic compounds and by nutrient contents independently from the season. The ecological importance of the rhizosphere in Al detoxification is discussed.

Conclusions

This study suggests that plant specific differences as well as seasonal changes in plant physiology, microbial activity and microclimatology influence aluminum toxicity in acid forest soils.     

The effect of level of CaCO3, inoculation and lime pelleting on the nodulation and growth of beans in five acid soils

Summary The effect of level of CaCO₃, inoculation and lime pelleting on the nodulation, dry matter yield and % N content of common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) grown in five acid soils was investigated in a greenhouse study. The soils represented a range in pH from 3.9 to 5.1, in exchangeable Al from 0.0 to 4 meq/100 gm, in exchangeable Mn from 0.35 to 2.32 me/100 gm, and in %C from 0.69 to 5.60.Nodule weight decreased with increasing %C and for the soil with highest %C (5.60) no nodules were observed. In soils with low organic matter and low exchangeable Al and Mn, inoculation increased nodule weight, dry matter yield and %N especially at the lowest pH level. Where the seeds were not inoculated, nodule weight and dry matter yield increased with soil pH. No such increases were observed where the seeds were inoculated. There was no apparent advantage in lime pelleting in such soils.In soils with low organic matter content and with substantial amounts of Al and/or Mn, liming increased nodule weight and dry matter yield, and decreased exchangeable Al and/or Mn. Lime pelleting was superior to mere inoculation in increasing nodule weight particularly at low lime rates.In soils with relatively high organic matter content, nodulation was very low or none at all. Low lime rates had little effect on exchangeable Al and Ca and dry matter yield. Higher lime rates, however, decreased exchangeable Al and dry matter yield but increased exchangeable Ca.     

Possible method of aluminium speciation in forest soils

Labile Al forms and species can be a threat in acid soils due to their potential toxicity to plants. However, there is no universally accepted extraction method. Several extraction reagents for Al release from soil have been tested. KCl (0.5 or 1 M) is recommended for extraction of exchangeable Al, while 0.5 or 0.3 M CuCl(2) is suggested for extraction of 'weakly organically bound Al'. Both 0.1 and 0.05 M Na(4)P(2)O(7) are shown to be suitable for the extraction of 'total organically bound Al'. These extractions are relatively simple, robust, and applicable to different soils and soil horizons. In the second part of the paper, detailed speciation of exchangeable soil Al by means of an HPLC instrument equipped with an ion column (IC) is presented. An experimental set-up is described and tested on a set of samples. Interpretation of the speciation results is proposed, based on the separation of Al ions and Al complexes according to their charge. Speciation is shown to be dependent mainly on soil pH and organic matter quality. A general scheme of Al fractionation and speciation in soil is proposed.     

The dynamics of protons,aluminium, and calcium in the rhizosphere of maize cultivated in tropical acid soils: experimental study and modelling

The goals of this work were to understand the dynamics of H⁺, Al and Ca in the rhizosphere of maize cultivated in tropical acid soils, and to evaluate the contribution of the dissolution kinetics of the Al-hydroxides to Al dynamics. The study of the dissolution kinetics was based on a comparison between experimental and simulated data, using a model of the chemical processes in the rhizosphere. Two Oxisols, pH 5.1 and 4.6, and one Ultisol, pH 5.2, were studied. An Al-tolerant maize variety (Zea mays L.) was grown for 14 days on a 3-mm thick soil layer. The composition of the soil and the soil solution, together with the concentration of Al in the roots, were determined throughout the experiment. The results showed that root growth (i) decreased the soil solution pH, up to one pH unit, (ii) increased Al concentration in the soil solution, (iii) increased exchangeable Al, and (iv) decreased exchangeable Ca. Soil solution pH, exchangeable Al, and exchangeable Ca were closely linked. Exchangeable Al increased 1.5 – 3.0 times, due to the dissolution of easily mobilised Al components. In addition, Al accumulation in roots depended mainly on Al in the soil solution. Modelling the interactions between H⁺, Al, and Ca proved that the main factor determining Al in the soil solution was the kinetic reactivity of the easily mobilised Al components. These components, probably poorly crystallised Al-hydroxides, are key players in the functioning of the rhizosphere in tropical acid soils.     

Nitrogen mineralization and its controlling factors in various kinds of temperate humid-zone soils

The N mineralization capacity of 41 temperate humid-zone soils of NW Spain was measured by aerobic incubation for 15 days at 28°C and 75% of field capacity. The main soil factors affecting organic N dynamics were identified by principal components analysis. Ammonification predominated over nitrification in almost all soils. The mean net N mineralization rate was 1.63% of the organic N content, and varied according to soil parent materials as follows: soils on basic and ultrabasic rocks < soils over acid metamorphic rocks < soils developed over sediments < soils over acid igneous rocks < soils on limestone. The N mineralization capacity was lower in natural soils than in cropped soils or pastures. The accumulation of organic matter (C and N) seems to be due to poor mineralization which was caused, in decreasing order of importance, by high exchangeable H-ion levels, high Al and Fe gel contents and, to a lesser extent (though more markedly in cropped soils), by silty clay texture and exchangeable Al ions.     

Inexpensive biological tests for soil calcium deficiency and aluminum toxicity

Two relatively simple procedures based on 4-day seedling growth were developed for identifying soil calcium (Ca) deficiency and/or aluminum (Al) toxicity. Test A uses any large-seeded cultivar that a farmer might consider planting and reveals whether the cultivar will suffer from Ca deficiency by comparing root growth in untreated soil to that in soil receiving a minimal Ca addition (0.1 meq.100mL⁻¹ soil), sufficient to eliminate possible deficiency. Al toxicity is detected by comparing root growth in a sample receiving the minimal Ca treatment with growth in the soil treated with enough lime to neutralize exchangeable Al. In test B, potential Al toxicity problems are detected for any widely-grown standard crop by comparing its growth with that of a different, Al-tolerant variety on soil samples receiving 0.1 meq.100mL⁻¹ Ca. With this test Ca deficiency in the untreated sample is detected by an increase in root growth of the Al-tolerant variety resulting from a small addition of Ca. The tests agreed with diagnoses made by standard chemical methods in about 84% of the cases examined. The proposed tests can be carried out using simple, easily-available materials without the necessity of sending soils to an analytical laboratory.     

Influence of pH,exchangeable aluminium and 0.02M CaCl2-extractable aluminium on the growth and nitrogen-fixing activity of white clover (Trifolium repens) in some New Zealand soils

The effects of soil acidity on the growth and N₂-fixing activity of white clover in seven acid topsoils and subsoils of New Zealand were investigated using a glasshouse experiment.The application of phosphate (Ca(H₂PO₄)₂) to the soils resulted in very large increases in white clover growth on all soils. The application of phosphate, as well as increasing P supply, also decreased 0.02M CaCl₂-extractable Al levels, but had little effect on exchangeable Al levels.Where adequate phosphate was applied, increasing rates of lime (CaCO₃) resulted in increased plant growth on most soils. N₂[C₂H₂]-fixing activity was increased by the first level of lime for one soil, but generally remained approximately constant or declined slightly at higher rates of lime. Up to the point of maximum yield, white clover top weight was more highly correlated with 0.02M CaCl₂-extractable soil Al than with exchangeable Al or pH. At pH values greater than 5.5, plant yield declined on some soils, apparently because of Zn deficiency. The data suggest that white clover is unlikely to be affected by Al toxicity at 0.02M CaCl₂-extractable Al levels of less than about 3.3 g g^–1. However, there were differences between soils in apparent plant tolerance to 0.02M CaCl₂-extractable Al, which appeared to be caused by differing C levels in the 0.02M CaCl₂ extracts.
