一种高效研究大豆根瘤共生固氮的营养液栽培体系

为建立一种既可高效结瘤固氮, 又具有一定产量的大豆(Glycine max)营养液栽培系统, 设计并进行了2个试验。首先在不同供氮条件下, 研究了接种根瘤菌对大豆的结瘤状况、固氮能力、生物量及产量的影响。结果表明, 供氮过高或过低, 均影响大豆生长、产量形成及根瘤固氮; 并且植物生长所需的最适供氮水平远高于生物固氮所需的最适供氮水平。此外, 大豆生物固氮活性最高的时期在生殖期第一期(R1期)之前。由此推断, 大豆R1期前, 供应较低的氮, 有利于根瘤形成及固氮; 而从R1期起, 应提高供氮水平, 以促进植物生长及产量的形成。在此基础上开展第2个试验, 对供氮条件进行了优化处理(即R1期前低氮供应、R1期开始中氮供应)。结果表明, 与持续供应高氮相比, 优化供氮处理不仅可获得较多固氮酶活性较高的大根瘤, 还能保持较好的生长、获得更高的百粒重及维持80%左右的产量。研究结果不仅可为高效研究大豆根瘤共生固氮提供营养液配方, 还可为大豆高产高效栽培提供试验依据。     

15N同位素稀释法评估甘蔗的生物固氮量

为评估甘蔗生物固氮量,采用15N同位素稀释法,以木薯为参比植物,进行温室桶栽试验.结果表明:甘蔗全生育期植株固氮11.3514％ Ndfa,固氮量每桶0.9269 g.甘蔗根、茎、叶的固氮百分率和固氮量大小依序为叶＞茎＞根.叶的固氮百分率(13.2668％ Ndfa)略高于植株,但两者差异不显著.甘蔗植株全氮量中来自空气氮(生物固氮)、肥料氮和土壤氮的比例分别为11.3514％、7.6857％、80.9629％.甘蔗的氮肥利用率为58.7583％.甘蔗根、茎、叶各部位均有固氮现象,生产上可以用叶代替植株来评估甘蔗的生物固氮量.     

氮肥和种植密度对达乌里胡枝子的生长与生物固氮的影响

氮供给和种植密度是影响植物生长的两个重要因素。豆科植物因其生物固氮能力而在受到氮限制的生态系统中具有重要作用, 氮含量增加促进植物生长的同时也会抑制豆科植物的生物固氮能力, 种植密度会通过种内竞争影响豆科植物的生长和生物固氮能力, 然而少有研究关注氮肥添加和种植密度对豆科植物生长和生物固氮能力的影响。该研究以达乌里胡枝子(Lespedeza davurica)为研究对象, 通过温室盆栽实验, 探究氮肥和种植密度对其生长和生物固氮的影响。实验设置4个氮添加水平(0、5、10、20 g·m^-2·a^-1)和3种种植密度(1、3、6 Ind.·pot^-1, 约32、96、192 Ind.·m^-2)。结果发现: 1)施肥和密度增加均影响了达乌里胡枝子的生长。叶片碳(C)、氮(N)含量、净光合速率随施氮量增加而增加, 氮添加也促进了植物的生长, 当施氮量为10 g·m^-2·a^-1时植物产量达到最大。叶片C、N含量、净光合速率随种植密度增加而下降, 密度增加可以促进每盆的总生物量, 但对单个植株的生长有负效应。2)氮肥对根瘤形成有抑制作用, 但种植密度增加会缓解氮肥对生物固氮能力带来的“氮阻遏”。该实验条件下, 当施氮量为10 g·m^-2·a^-1, 种植密度为3 Ind.·pot^-1, 或施氮量为5 g·m^-2·a^-1, 种植密度为6 Ind.·pot^-1时, 能最大程度发挥“施氮增产”和种植密度缓解“氮阻遏”的作用。氮添加降低了达乌里胡枝子的根瘤生物量和对根瘤形成的投资(根瘤生物量占总生物量的比例), 从而抑制达乌里胡枝子的生物固氮。种植密度增加导致达乌里胡枝子因种内竞争增加而使资源获取受限, 从而增加对根瘤的投资和根瘤生物量来获得更多来自大气中的氮。3)结构方程结果显示, 氮肥和种植密度通过直接或间接作用, 解释了64%的达乌里胡枝子生物量变化和42%的根瘤生物量变化。上述结果表明合理优化豆科植物的施肥量和种植密度可能对人工草地种植以及退化草地恢复管理具有重要意义。     

减氮对甜玉米//大豆间作系统大豆结瘤固氮特性的影响

为了探讨减氮和甜玉米//大豆间作对大豆结瘤和固氮特性的影响, 通过大田定位试验(2015年春-2018年秋, 共8季)对比了三种施氮水平: 不施氮(N0, 0 kg·hm2) 、减量施氮(N1, 300 kg·hm2)、常规施氮(N2, 360 kg·hm2), 两种间作模式: 甜玉米//大豆2∶3间作(S2B3)、甜玉米//大豆2∶4间作(S2B4), 以及不施肥单作大豆(SB)对大豆结瘤数、根瘤干重、固氮效率和固氮量及其稳定性的影响。结果表明: 1)大豆根瘤数、根瘤干重、固氮效率和固氮量随着年季变化呈现明显的动态变化, 春季大豆根瘤数和根瘤干重显著高于秋季, 但秋季固氮效率和固氮量显著高于春季。2)施氮水平与种植模式极显著影响大豆固氮效率和固氮量, 不施肥处理大豆固氮效率为S2B4(69.87%) > S2B3(60.64%)、SB(56.3%), 但生物固氮量为SB(142.31 kg·hm-2) > S2B4(109.50 kg·hm-2) > S2B3(86.12 kg·hm-2)。3)间作甜玉米显著提高了大豆的固氮效率且随大豆种植比例的增加而增加, S2B4-N0、N1及N2的固氮效率分别比S2B3-N0、N1及N2高9.47%、3.41%、1.83%, 但是, 相同施氮水平下不同间作模式之间均无差异。4)减氮和间作甜玉米可显著提高大豆固氮率和固氮量的稳定性。总之, 减氮和间作甜玉米均能促进大豆结瘤、提高生物固氮量及固氮效率。     

不同林龄杨树细根生物量分配及其对氮沉降的响应

氮沉降已经成为全球变化背景下的热点问题,并呈现逐渐加重趋势,了解森林生态系统对这种持续氮增长和快速氮循环的响应模式及反馈机制,对于维护森林生态系统健康具有重要的理论意义。本研究选择不同林龄杨树人工林作为试验样地,设置N0(0 g N·m-2·a-1)、N1(5 g N·m-2·a-1)、N2(10 g N·m-2·a-1)、N3(15 g N·m-2·a-1)、N4(30 g N·m-2·a-1)5个不同浓度,进行氮沉降野外模拟实验,探讨不同林龄杨树人工林细根生物量的垂直分布及对模拟氮沉降的响应。结果表明:(1)70%~80%细根生物量分配在0~20 cm土层,呈现表层富集特征;外源氮增加后,幼龄林(4年生)中,0~10 cm土层细根生物量所占比例有所增加,而中龄林(8年生)和成熟林(15年生)则不同程度的减少;(2)细根生物量主要分布在0~0.5和0.5~1.0 mm径级,其中0~0.5 mm径级细根约占总细根(2.0 mm)生物量的50%,外源氮输入增加极小径级(0~0.5 mm)的根系生物量,特别是幼龄林;(3)30~40 cm土层中,成熟林0~0.5 mm细根生物量分配量远大于幼龄林和中龄林,表明随着林龄的增加,小直径细根有向下分配趋势;(4)林龄、土层、径级以及施氮浓度4个因素的综合效应能够解释细根生物量66.3%的变异,其中林龄、土层、径级3个因素各自对细根生物量的影响极显著(P0.01),分别能解释细根生物量17.6%、16.1%、10.4%的变异,而增氮处理仅能解释细根生物量0.24%的变异,影响效应不显著(P0.05)。     

外源氮输入改变三江平原泥炭沼泽有壳变形虫群落结构

本文通过野外原位控制试验探讨三江平原外源氮素输入对泥炭沼泽有壳变形虫群落的影响.结果表明:从总体看,低氮浓度(6 g N·m-2)输入增加了有壳变形虫的生物量,而高浓度(>12 g N·m-2)的外源氮输入则降低其生物量;在属级水平上,外源氮输入提高了法帽虫属的生物量,降低了鳞壳虫属的生物量;而匣壳虫属的生物量只在低氮输入下显著增加.在物种水平上,氮输入降低了长圆鳞壳虫的生物量,而网匣壳虫和顶足法帽虫的生物量只在低氮浓度下显著增加.表明泥炭沼泽有壳变形虫对外源氮增加的响应具有物种间特异性,有壳变形虫是一类有效的湿地环境指示生物.     

不同水氮条件下骆驼刺幼苗生长及氮效率变化特征

在荒漠生态系统氮沉降背景下,研究退化植被幼苗对水分和氮素变化的响应特征,对实现植被恢复和重建具有重要意义。在塔里木盆地南缘对骆驼刺（Alhagi sparsifolia）幼苗通过2年的水分（干旱、中水和湿润）和氮素（不施氮、低氮（51 mg/kg）、中氮（102 mg/kg）和高氮（306 mg/kg））添加试验,研究骆驼刺幼苗干物质累积、生物固氮和氮效率对水氮条件变化的响应。结果表明,骆驼刺幼苗不同器官的干物质累积和吸氮效率对水氮条件变化的响应因生长年份而异,但幼苗整株干物质累积和吸氮效率在2个生长年份的变化趋势却相似。在干旱条件下,骆驼刺幼苗的干物质量、吸氮效率和生物固氮量均在低氮处理下显著增加,之后随施氮量增加而降低。水氮交互可显著提高幼苗干物质累积、吸氮效率和生物固氮量,其中以中水中氮处理的效果最好。水氮添加有降低骆驼刺幼苗氮素利用效率（NUE）的趋势,但在干旱和中水条件下施氮可显著提高幼苗的生物固氮比例,然而生物固氮比例与NUE仅在第2个生长年份呈显著负相关。在2个生长年份,骆驼刺幼苗干物质量与吸氮效率和生物固氮量呈极显著正相关关系,但与NUE和生物固氮比例并无明显相关性。这表明骆驼刺幼苗主要是通过调节吸氮效率和生物固氮量来适应水氮条件变化,进而影响幼苗干物质累积。     

氮处理对大豆根瘤固氮能力及GmLbs基因表达的影响

共生根瘤的固氮效率受外界氮素的严格调控。除固氮酶活性外, 豆血红蛋白(Lb)浓度亦是反应固氮能力的重要指标。为明确氮水平对生物固氮作用的影响, 以大豆(Glycine max)为材料, 在低氮(0.53 mmol·L^-1)条件下接种根瘤菌, 30天后再进行高氮(5.3、10、20、30和40 mmol·L^-1)处理7天, 分析Lb浓度、固氮酶活性及类菌体发育状态。结果表明, 随着外界氮浓度的增加, 根瘤由红变绿, 且红色Lb明显减少而绿色Lb急剧增加; 固氮酶活性显著被抑制, 类菌体中侵染细胞数目和面积显著下降, 表明高氮引起Lb形态的改变与固氮能力关系密切。利用生物信息学及公开表达谱等数据进行分析, 发现大豆根瘤中主要含有4个共生Lb基因, 即GmLb1、GmLb2、GmLb3和GmLb4。4个GmLbs亲缘关系很近且位于进化树的同一分支。进一步分析GmLb1-4转录水平对氮的响应, 结果表明, GmLb1-4的表达显著受高氮抑制。研究结果可为揭示氮介导根瘤衰老机制及生物固氮的应用提供依据。     

外源钙离子对小麦幼苗氮素代谢的影响

以普通小麦豫麦34为材料,研究了不同浓度的外源Ca2 对小麦幼苗氮素代谢的影响.在小麦第一片叶完全展开后,开始外源Ca2 处理,设0 (对照)、2、4 mmol · L-1 和8 mmol · L-1 4个Ca2 浓度梯度.处理5d后,测定氮同化酶活性、氮同化量及其它相关代谢物含量.结果表明,小麦幼苗叶片中硝酸还原酶(NR)和谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)在2 mmol · L-1 Ca2 处理下活性比对照有显著增加,4 mmol · L-1 Ca2 处理的NR活性增加明显,但GS活性增加不显著;8 mmol · L-1 Ca2 处理下NR和GS活性比对照均明显降低.谷氨酸脱氢酶(NADH-GDH)活性在2 mmol · L-1 Ca2 处理下活性增加不明显,而在4、8 mmol · L-1 Ca2 处理下活性显著增加.小麦幼苗氮同化量以4 mmol · L-1处理最大,2 mmol · L-1处理与4 mmol · L-1之间差异不显著;Ca2 浓度为8 mmol · L-1时,氮素同化量明显降低.结果揭示了小麦幼苗不同氮同化途径对Ca2 的响应不同,GS途径比GDH途径对小麦氮素同化量的增加作用更大;4 mmol · L-1对小麦幼苗的氮素利用可能是最有效的Ca2 浓度.     

不同氮效率水稻品种根系生理生态指标的差异

以氮素利用效率差异大的两个水稻品种(氮高效品种南光和氮低效品种Elio)作为试验材料,设计高低两个供氮水平,在温室砂培条件下研究了不同氮效率水稻高效吸收利用氮素的根系生物学特性及生理机制.结果表明,在两个供氮水平下,氮高效水稻南光的产量均显著大于氮低效水稻,增幅在50%以上.随着供氮水平的提高,两个水稻品种植株的总吸氮量和干物质量随之增加,氮高效水稻南光的生育后期吸氮量和地上部及根系的生物量显著高于氮低效水稻Elio;氮高效水稻品种南光根系形态参数对氮素营养的响应度高于氮低效品种Elio,高氮处理下,南光较低氮处理分别增加127%(总根长)和114%(根系表面积),而Elio仅增加92%(总根长)和82%(根系表面积),而且Elio在齐穗期后根系形态参数水平下降显著;南光的根系伤流强度在拔节期较氮低效水稻Elio高出11%(1mmol L-1)和32%(5mmol L-1),灌浆期南光较Elio高出12%(1mmol L-1)和12%(5mmol L-1),差异均显著.由本试验结果可推断根系形态及根系活力的差异是造成水稻氮效率差异的重要原因之一.     

Nitrogen uptake

Summary Nitrogen uptake from applied nutrient solutions was evaluated in two old fields, in a pine plantation, and in a hardwood stand, to test the idea that plant communities become more efficient trappers and retainers of plant nutrients during succession. Uptake was estimated as the difference between nutrient concentrations in water collected from beneath soil profiles with and without roots by lysimeters within each successional stage. Results suggest that nitrate uptake decreased while ammonia uptake increased with succession. This apparent shift from a nitrate to an ammonia nitrogen economy during succession has been reported by other workers and is evolutionarily significant as an energy, nitrogen, and cation saving mechanism.     

Nitrogen Productivity Depends on Photosynthetic Nitrogen Use Efficiency and on Nitrogen Allocation Within the Plant

The concept of plant nitrogen productivity was introduced atthe end of the 1970s to interpret the dependency of plant growthon internal nitrogen. It is defined as the increase in plantdry matter per unit time and per unit plant nitrogen content.Recently, plant nitrogen productivity has been expressed asthe product of two terms: the leaf nitrogen ratio, which isthe proportion of the plant's nitrogen present in the leaves,and the leaf nitrogen productivity, which is defined as theincrease in plant dry matter per unit time and leaf nitrogencontent. In the present paper we use two data sets obtainedfrom C₃ herbaceous species to evaluate the relative importanceof variation in leaf nitrogen ratio and leaf nitrogen productivityin determining interspecific variation in plant nitrogen productivity.Further, we analyse to what extent leaf and plant nitrogen productivitiesdepend on photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency. Results showthat in all cases, photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency isa major determinant of both plant and leaf nitrogen productivities.A positive relationship between leaf nitrogen ratio and plantnitrogen productivity was found only when comparisons were madeover broad taxonomic groups.Copyright 1995, 1999 Academic Press Interspecific variation, leaf nitrogen ratio, nitrogen productivity, photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency     

The Sensitivity of Moss-Associated Nitrogen Fixation towards Repeated Nitrogen Input

Nitrogen (N₂) fixation is a major source of available N in ecosystems that receive low amounts of atmospheric N deposition. In boreal forest and subarctic tundra, the feather moss Hylocomium splendens is colonized by N₂ fixing cyanobacteria that could contribute fundamentally to increase the N pool in these ecosystems. However, N₂ fixation in mosses is inhibited by N input. Although this has been shown previously, the ability of N₂ fixation to grow less sensitive towards repeated, increased N inputs remains unknown. Here, we tested if N₂ fixation in H. splendens can recover from increased N input depending on the N load (0, 5, 20, 80, 320 kg N ha^-1 yr^-1) after a period of N deprivation, and if sensitivity towards increased N input can decrease after repeated N additions. Nitrogen fixation in the moss was inhibited by the highest N addition, but was promoted by adding 5 kg N ha^-1 yr^-1, and increased in all treatments during a short period of N deprivation. The sensitivity of N₂ fixation towards repeated N additions seem to decrease in the 20 and 80 kg N additions, but increased in the highest N addition (320 kg N ha^-1 yr^-1). Recovery of N in leachate samples increased with increasing N loads, suggesting low retention capabilities of mosses if N input is above 5 kg N ha^-1 yr^-1. Our results demonstrate that the sensitivity towards repeated N additions is likely to decrease if N input does not exceed a certain threshold.     

Long-Term Nitrogen Additions and Nitrogen Saturation in Two Temperate Forests

This article reports responses of two different forest ecosystems to 9 years (1988–96) of chronic nitrogen (N) additions at the Harvard Forest, Petersham, Massachusetts. Ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) was applied to a pine plantation and a native deciduous broad-leaved (hardwood) forest in six equal monthly doses (May–September) at four rates: control (no fertilizer addition), low N (5 g N m^-2 y^-1), high N (15 g N m^-2 y^-1), and low N + sulfur (5 g N m^-2 y^-1 plus 7.4 g S m^-2 y^-1). Measurements were made of net N mineralization, net nitrification, N retention, wood production, foliar N content and litter production, soil C and N content, and concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) in soil water. In the pine stand, nitrate losses were measured after the first year of additions (1989) in the high N plot and increased again in 1995 and 1996. The hardwood stand showed no significant increases in nitrate leaching until 1995 (high N only), with further increases in 1996. Overall N retention efficiency (percentage of added N retained) over the 9-year period was 97–100% in the control and low N plots of both stands, 96% in the hardwood high N plot, and 85% in the pine high N plot. Storage in aboveground biomass, fine roots, and soil extractable pools accounted for only 16–32% of the added N retained in the amended plots, suggesting that the one major unmeasured pool, soil organic matter, contains the remaining 68–84%. Short-term redistribution of ¹⁵N tracer at natural abundance levels showed similar division between plant and soil pools. Direct measurements of changes in total soil C and N pools were inconclusive due to high variation in both stands. Woody biomass production increased in the hardwood high N plot but was significantly reduced in the pine high N plot, relative to controls. A drought-induced increase in foliar litterfall in the pine stand in 1995 is one possible factor leading to a measured increase in N mineralization, nitrification, and nitrate loss in the pine high N plot in 1996.

Nitrogen Fixation and Nitrogen Assimilation in a Temperate Saline Ecosystem

As nitrogen is known to be a limiting factor for plant growth, we were interested in the relationship between soil microbial activity and the nitrogen assimilation of 5 different halophytes from 4 saline sites near the lake “Neusiedlersee”, Austria. The following were studied between May and October 1985: nitrogen fixation (¹⁵N₂ and acetylene reduction): N-mineralization; several soil characteristics and in vivo nitrate reductase activity of roots and shoots of these plants. NO^?₃, org. N- and carboxylate contents of both roots and shoots, as well as the effect of NO^?₃-fertilization on the amounts of these substances, were determined on plants growing in the field during a 3-day period in September 1985. Fertilization led to a decrease in acetylene reduction activity at most sites, and an increase in the nitrate reductase activity of the shoots of all plants. Overall, carboxylate and organic nitrogen contents of these halophytes did not change in response to fertilization. Only in the roots of Aster tripolium and Atriplex hastata was there a marked increase in the nitrate reductase activity in response to fertilization. Species growing at the same site, such as Plantago maritima and Lepidium crassifolium showed contrasting levels of assimilatory activity. Apparent low rates of ammonification and nitrification were detected in soils from the 4 sites. The results are discussed in relation to the nitrogen and carbon economies of the microorganisms and plants.     

外来入侵植物的氮代谢及其土壤氮特征

研究了4种外来入侵植物(五爪金龙、南美蟛蜞菊、金腰箭和马缨丹)和1种本地植物鸡矢藤(对照)的氮代谢及其土壤氮特征.结果表明:外来人侵植物的组织硝酸还原酶活性、根际土壤NH4-N、NO3-N含量、蛋白酶活性和脲酶活性均较高,分别为鸡矢藤的1.65～4.34、1.56～2.15、1.72～3.11、1.43～3.23和1.41～3.33倍,而植物组织硝态氮含量则较低,仅为鸡矢藤的17.5%～50.6%.相关分析表明:植物组织硝酸还原酶活性与根际土壤总氮、NH4-N、NO3-N含量呈显著正相关(P<0.05),与蛋白酶活性和脲酶活性呈极显著正相关(P<0.01).这说明,外来植物入侵使土壤氮代谢加快,氮的生物有效性增强,氮同化能力提高,并且较好地将植物体氮素代谢与土壤氮素代谢协调起来.因此,较强的氮素同化能力与加速土壤氮素的转化可能是植物成功入侵的重要机制之一.
