林地覆盖对雷竹林土壤微生物特征及其与土壤养分制约性关系的影响

为了探讨林地覆盖雷竹林退化机理,给退化雷竹林恢复提供理论参考,对不同覆盖年限(CK、1、3 a 和6 a) 雷竹林土壤微生物区系组成和生物量碳(C_mic)、氮(N_mic)、磷(P_mic)等特征因子进行了测定,并分析了其与土壤养分的制约性关系。结果表明:(1) 雷竹林土壤微生物以细菌为主,真菌次之,放线菌最少,分别占土壤微生物总量的90.11%-98.03%、1.04%-9.22%和0.67%-1.37%。随覆盖年限增加,细菌、放线菌比率呈下降趋势,真菌比率呈上升趋势;土壤微生物总数、细菌和放线菌数量及C_mic、N_mic、P_mic均呈先升高后降低的变化趋势,试验雷竹林间差异极显著,真菌数量总体呈极显著升高趋势。(2)雷竹林土壤微生物特征因子与土壤有机质(SOM)、全氮(TN)、全磷(TP)、碱解氮(Available nitrogen, AN)和pH均呈显著或极显著相关,其中,CK和覆盖1 a、3 a雷竹林土壤微生物特征因子与土壤养分主要呈正相关,与pH呈负相关,而覆盖6 a雷竹林则相反。(3)不同覆盖年限雷竹林土壤养分与土壤微生物的制约性关系存在一定的差异,CK雷竹林土壤SOM、TN、AN、速效钾(AK)和pH主要影响土壤C_mic、N_mic和细菌,覆盖1 a雷竹林土壤SOM、TN、TP和AK主要影响土壤P_mic、放线菌和细菌,覆盖3 a雷竹林土壤SOM、TN、速效磷(AP)和AN主要影响土壤N_mic、放线菌和真菌,覆盖6 a雷竹林土壤SOM、TN和pH主要影响土壤N_mic、真菌。研究表明:长期覆盖雷竹林土壤细菌、放线菌数量与比例明显降低,真菌数量与比例明显提高,土壤养分与土壤微生物的制约性作用关系会发生较为明显变化,产生土壤障害,这是覆盖雷竹林退化的主要原因之一。

Competition between soil bacteria and fusarium

Summary The phenomenon of competition has been characterized in liquid medium and sterile soil systems using a variety of soil bacteria andFusarium oxysporum f.cubense as test organisms. For most of the bacteria, suppression of the fungus was the result of a biologically induced nitrogen deficiency, this effect being reversed by the addition of excess inorganic nitrogen. High populations of competitors were found in two soils of neutral pH, but no isolates competed in the acid San Alejo loam.Agrobacterium radiobacter was able to compete when San Alejo loam was limed to about pH 6.6. Inhibition of the fungus by a number of gram-positive, spore-forming rods could not be accounted for in terms of competition for nutrients or by antibiotic production in artificial media.The competitive ability ofA. radiobacter when tested in twelve Central American soils was found to be related to pH in acid and neutral environments but was correlated with texture, organic-matter content and total nitrogen in soils of intermediate pH. In all soils where inhibition occurred, the competitive effect was overcome by additions of inorganic nitrogen. Excluding the group ofBacillus spp., the competitive ability of soil bacteria was related to the ability to develop in the absence of amino acids and growth factors but could not be correlated with growth rates of the bacteria in soil or liquid medium.It is suggested that competition for nutrients is a significant means of ecological control among members of the soil microflora and, together with competitive interactions for space and oxygen, may be the major factors governing the biological control of soil-borne fungi.The investigation was supported in part by a grant from the United Fruit Company.

Interactions between soil and tree roots accelerate long-term soil carbon decomposition

Decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main process governing the release of CO₂ into the atmosphere from terrestrial systems. Although the importance of soil–root interactions for SOC decomposition has increasingly been recognized, their long-term effect on SOC decomposition remains poorly understood. Here we provide experimental evidence for a rhizosphere priming effect, in which interactions between soil and tree roots substantially accelerate SOC decomposition. In a 395-day greenhouse study with Ponderosa pine and Fremont cottonwood trees grown in three different soils, SOC decomposition in the planted treatments was significantly greater (up to 225%) than in soil incubations alone. This rhizosphere priming effect persisted throughout the experiment, until well after initial soil disturbance, and increased with a greater amount of root-derived SOC formed during the experiment. Loss of old SOC was greater than the formation of new C, suggesting that increased C inputs from roots could result in net soil C loss.     

Forest soil fertility: the base of relationships between soil and vegetation

To understand the relationships between soils and vegetation in forest ecosystems, it is necessary to establish the spatial levels where they are implemented and to determine parameters characterizing the relationships. The key step in the development of the hierarchy of the spatial levels is the establishment of the elementary unit of the soil-vegetation cover. Such a unit, called tessera, is substantiated. Studies conducted in boreal forests have demonstrated a close association between the vegetation and soil components of tesserae. It can be quantitatively described in terms of informative fertility parameters: pH; C: N ratio; contents of nutrients, such as Ca and Mn; etc. Thus, data on the relationships between soil and vegetation determined in tesserae can be summarized at higher spatial levels of the forest cover: parcel, biotope, etc.     

Interactions between Rhizoctonia tuliparum and soil microorganisms

Rhizoctonia tuliparum Whetzel & Arthur is a winter active soil-borne pathogen, which causes the grey bulb rot of tulips and Dutch irises. The fungus survives by means of sclerotia. It was found that the sclerotia only germinated in unsterile soil at low temperatures (0–10 °C). Germination in sterile soil occurred over a wider range of temperatures (0–25 °C) but was inhibited at 20 °C after the addition of a suitable bacterial inoculum. An unidentified pyrone antibiotic was leaked by sclerotia which had been air-dried and re-wetted. This could be detected in vitro using an agar medium seeded with a spore suspension of Bacillus subtilis Cohn emend Prazmowski. In soil, however, material leaked by sclerotia stimulated both bacteria and fungi. Undried, air-dried and oven-dried (non antibiotic) sclerotia persisted equally well in soil over 2 yr. This suggests that the resistance to lysis of sclerotial cell walls may be important in the long term survival of this organism.     

Gene transfer between streptomycetes in soil.

The growth and activity of Streptomyces violaceolatus and Streptomyces lividans was studied in soil under controlled conditions. The life cycle was followed under differing nutrient regimes and the fate of plasmid- and phage-borne genes determined by direct and indirect techniques. Methods were developed for the direct monitoring of plasmid DNA extracted from soil which allowed differentiation of the cellular location of plasmid DNA between mycelium and spores. In a dynamic, nutrient-fed soil microcosm, inoculants survived poorly, but a specific stage was defined by direct and indirect methods when the inoculants were most active and this correlated with the detection of gene transfer events. Plasmid transfer, phage infection and lysogeny only occurred to a significant extent within this stage at days 15-17 during a 60-day incubation. Estimates based on plasmid DNA recovery indicated that viable counts underestimated spore and mycelial propagules by a factor of greater than 100.     

Aspects of antagonisms between micro-organisms in soil

Summary Attention is called to certain aspects of microbial antagonisms in soil. Tests on the interaction of 90 strains of actinomycetes, isolated by non-selective procedure from the rhizosphere of potatoes grown in scab-infected soil which had been favorably modified by organic amendment, showed that within a group of 11 strains, found to be antagonistic toStreptomyces scabies, a wide range of cross-antagonisms existed. The possible importance of this in the study of specific antagonist-pathogen relationships is indicated, as well as that of the 'rhizosphere effect' in modifying the microbiological equilibrium in soil.Contribution No. 272 (Journal Series) from the Division of Bacteriology and Dairy Research, Science Service, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada.

菜园土壤微生物生态特征与土壤理化性质的关系

对广州白云区64个菜园土壤样本的研究表明,微生物碳与土壤全氮、碱解氮、有效钾、阳离子交换量和有机质,微生物氮与土壤全氮、全磷、阳离子交换量及有机质,土壤基础呼吸与土壤全氮、碱解氮、全钾、阳离子交换量及有机质,AWCD值与全氮及有机质含量,以及Shannon多样性指数与全氮和阳离子交换量均呈显著正相关关系.较低的碱解氮含量使土壤微生物碳、土壤基础呼吸和呼吸商的值升高,过高的碱解氮则使呼吸商下降;过高的土壤有效磷降低微生物碳、微生物氮和微生物呼吸商.有效磷/碱解氮比值过高降低了土壤微生物碳、微生物氮、微生物碳氮比及土壤基础呼吸.土壤微生物生态特征与土壤理化性质关系密切,有效养分过高及养分比例不适当对土壤微生物均存在不利影响.
