长三角平原区县域土壤磷素流失风险及其空间不确定性的快速评估

磷素是水体富营养化的关键限制因子,其中从农田土壤中流失的磷往往是水体磷素的主要来源。然而,土壤磷素的流失风险不仅与土壤磷素水平直接相关,其他环境因子,如距受纳水体距离、磷肥施用量、地表径流潜力等也强烈影响其流失风险。同时,基于有限样本预测得到的流失风险必然具有一定的空间不确定性。以长三角典型县域金坛区为研究案例,首先结合多个环境因子构建快速磷指数(RPI)评估模型,再利用稳健地统计学方法识别土壤全磷的空间离群值,并利用序贯高斯模型(SGS)模拟土壤全磷可能的空间分布格局,最后将其多个可能的模拟结果及上述主要因子输入到RPI模型,用以快速评估土壤磷素流失风险及其空间不确定性。结果显示,金坛区土壤磷素流失的高风险区和土壤全磷高值区分布格局在研究区北部、中部具有一定的相似性,而在中西部的旱地区两者出现差异性。高风险区主要沿着河流呈现条带状及斑块状分布,较高及以上风险区(快速磷指数值大于0.93)的面积占金坛区面积的65.88%。概率阈值分别设定为0.50、0.75、0.85、0.95时,其超标面积占金坛区总面积分别达到16.71%、5.74%、2.84%、1.04%。引入多个相关环境因子并结合经稳健处理的SGS进行流失风险指数的空间模拟和不确定性评估,可以快速评估区域农田土壤磷素流失风险及不确定性,进而为区域土壤磷素调控提供必要的空间决策支持。     

太湖地区典型水稻土稻-麦轮作地表径流中磷的变动规律

为了了解来自农田土壤径流磷浓度对太湖水体富营养化的贡献状况,采用田间小区试验的方法,研究了太湖地区安镇爽水型水稻土和常熟囊水型水稻土2000～2002年度磷素流失浓度变化及其原因.结果表明:太湖地区农田水稻土磷素流失的主要形态是颗粒态磷;施磷处理对地表径流磷浓度有显著影响;两种水稻土的径流中磷浓度呈现出随时间而降低的趋势;稻季土壤磷素流失的最大风险时期约在水稻移栽后一个月内,而麦季约在磷肥施用后1～2个月内;对于同期地表径流事件,囊水型水稻土径流中DP和TP浓度均高于爽水型水稻土;土壤类型对地表径流次数有明显的影响,并且随季节表现不同.     

减磷配施有机肥对水旱轮作紫色水稻土磷素淋失的消减效应

为探索长江流域稻油轮作系统水稻季减少农田磷素流失的最佳施肥模式和有效耕作措施,降低其对长江水质的威胁。采用渗漏池长期田间原位定点试验并结合室内实验分析,研究了化肥配施猪粪有机肥和水稻秸秆还田对土壤磷素淋溶迁移的影响。结果表明在水稻生长期内土壤淋溶水中磷素浓度随时间延长呈逐渐下降的趋势,前期波动幅度大且下降迅速,到55d之后逐步稳定达到平衡。总可溶性磷(TDP)是渗漏水磷素的主要形态。土壤淋溶水中总磷(TP)和总可溶性磷(TDP)含量均表现为优化施肥+猪粪有机肥(MP)优化施肥+秸秆还田(SP)优化施肥(P)优化施肥量磷减20%+猪粪有机肥(MDP)优化施肥量磷减20%+秸秆还田(SDP)不施磷肥(P0)。土壤总磷(TP)淋失负荷在0.295—0.493 kg/hm2之间。施用有机肥提高了淋溶水中的磷素含量,促进了土壤中磷素的淋失,同时显著提高了土壤中有效磷的含量,猪粪有机肥的促进作用比水稻秸秆大。减少化肥施用量有利于降低土壤磷素淋失。在综合考虑农业生产省本增效和控制农田面源污染的情况下,可以采取减量化肥配施有机肥的施肥模式。     

低分子量有机酸对土壤磷活化及其机制研究进展

近30年来,过量施用磷肥导致土壤磷素累积继而引起水体富营养化等问题备受关注。植物根系分泌的低分子量有机酸能活化土壤积累态磷,提高土壤磷素有效性,已成为研究热点问题之一。本文结合国内外已有研究,从低分子量有机酸的类型、添加浓度、土壤类型和土壤磷素水平等方面总结了低分子量有机酸活化土壤无机磷与有机磷的效果,并通过对比土壤磷活化试验前后各形态磷的变化探讨了低分子量有机酸对土壤磷的活化机制。低分子量有机酸对土壤无机磷的活化主要是促进了土壤中有效性低的无机磷形态向有效性较高的形态转化,而低分子量有机酸对土壤有机磷的活化结论尚不一致,活化机制也不明确,仍需进一步研究。未来研究应关注低分子量有机酸与磷肥之间的协同增效机制,并进一步探索低分子量有机酸对土壤磷素(特别是有机磷)的活化机制。     

生物质炭对土壤养分淋溶的影响及潜在机理研究进展

农田生态系统中土壤养分淋溶控制一直是农业环境领域的研究热点.生物质炭因其特殊的理化性质,具有增加土壤碳库储量、改善土壤质量和提高作物产量等作用.作为一种外源输入的新型功能材料,生物质炭将直接或间接参与农田生态系统土壤养分循环,并对土壤养分淋溶产生重要影响.本文重点针对生物质炭影响土壤养分淋溶的内在因素(如:生物质炭的物理和化学性质及其与土壤生物的相互作用等)进行分析,并结合生物质炭添加量、土壤类型、土层深度、施肥情况、时间动态变化等外在因素,对生物质炭影响土壤氮磷等养分淋溶情况进行了综述.在此基础上,阐明了生物质炭对土壤养分淋溶的4种潜在影响机制:即通过微孔结构或表面电荷直接吸附养分、通过影响土壤持水能力影响养分淋溶、通过与土壤微生物的相互作用影响养分循环、被吸附的养分优先通过细微生物质炭颗粒发生迁移.最后对生物质炭与土壤养分流失控制领域的研究方向进行了展望.     

农田土壤中磷素有效性及影响因素

土壤中磷的有效性直接决定着农田生产力. 基于分布于我国不同气候区长期定位施肥试验,总结了不同农田土壤的磷素含量、有效性及转化的影响因素.结果表明： 目前我国不同类型的土壤中全磷含量在0.31～1.72 g·kg^-1,速效磷含量在0.1～228.8 mg·kg^-1.土壤母质、理化性质和施肥方式是影响农田土壤磷素有效性的主要因素,未来应注重有机肥和化肥的混合施用以提高农田土壤磷素有效性,并关注可能导致的环境影响.     

筑坝河流磷素的迁移转化及其富营养化特征

人类活动过量营养物质输入是导致河流富营养化的主要原因,而河道过度的人为调控则进一步复杂化了河流的营养状态变化。闸坝是河流人为调控的重要工程措施之一,提高水资源利用效率的同时严重干扰了河流自然的生物地球化学循环,产生诸多负面生态环境效应。磷素的迁移转化对河流的营养限制作用受到越来越多的关注,国内外已有研究在筑坝河流磷的富营养化特征方面,已经取得了较为深刻的认识:水库闸坝建设滞留大量磷素,导致河流水体磷含量升高、营养物质比例变化,沉积物储存过量磷素形成的内源释放威胁,以及进一步浮游植物和有害藻类的生长响应等,使得筑坝河流的富营养化生态风险升高;在此基础上,也提出了根据降雨分配和闸控库区储水,合理设置闸坝泄流方式,以改善筑坝河流富营养化生态风险的重要管理思路。对于闸坝调控作用与水体富营养化的定量关系还有待进一步的探讨,而且随着河流资源开发和人为调控力度的增强,河流闸坝建设所产生的系列生态环境问题日益严峻,对此提出还需要系统研究的方向:闸坝调控作用下河流磷素的富营养化机制及其与氮、碳等元素的耦合作用,筑坝河流沉积物内源污染的综合管理,以及闸控景观河流的生态建设和修复等。     

生物炭对黄壤中氮淋溶影响:室内土柱模拟

土壤氮素的淋失作用不仅造成土壤营养元素的损失,而且对河流和湖泊等环境水体的富营养化具有重要贡献.采用土柱室内模拟方法,通过模拟降雨淋滤,研究了生物炭对土壤淋溶液体积、pH和电导率以及NH4+-N和NO3--N淋溶的影响.试验中所用的生物炭是以桉树木屑为原料制成,分别按照炭土质量比1％、2％、4％、10％施用于土壤中.结果显示,与对照相比,向土壤添加10％、4％、2％、1％生物炭分别减少土壤水分损失14％、0.03％、0.02％和0.01％;随生物炭添加量增加,淋溶液的pH和电导率也逐渐增加;土壤生物炭添加量为10％、4％、2％时,NH4+-N淋溶量分别增加235％、28.1％、31.6％,NO3--N淋溶量分别增加4.2％、14.5％、25.6％;但生物炭添加量为1％的土柱NH4+-N淋溶量减少15.8％,NO3--N淋溶量减少19.2％.本研究表明,桉树生物炭对土壤氮淋溶与其施用量有关,1％施用量能减少氮淋溶,过量施用将增加氮淋溶,这种作用是否与生物炭种类有关有待进一步研究.     

施肥对设施菜地土壤磷累积及淋失潜能的影响

以不同肥力设施菜地土壤为研究对象,通过填装土柱模拟试验,研究不同施肥措施对磷素累积及淋溶的影响.结果表明： 随着淋溶时间的延长,磷素淋溶量增加,但累积淋溶量较少,说明本试验中磷素淋溶损失的风险较小,主要累积在土体内的不同土层中.试验结束时,土壤肥力和施肥处理均显著影响不同土层中全磷和速效磷含量.与低肥力土壤相比,中肥力土壤全磷和速效磷增幅为14.3%和12.2%,高肥力土壤增幅为33.3%和37.7%.有机肥化肥混施处理(M+NPK)土壤全磷含量显著高于单施化肥(NPK)和有机肥(M)处理,增幅分别为5.7%和4.3%;M及M+NPK处理中速效磷含量显著高于NPK处理,增幅分别为13.0%和3.1%.10～20 cm土层全磷和速效磷含量最高,0～10和10～20 cm土层全磷和速效磷含量显著高于20~40 cm土层.
     

烟气脱硫石膏对滨海农耕土壤磷素形态组成的影响

为探明不同烟气脱硫石膏施用量对滨海农耕土壤中的全磷、有效磷、无机磷组分等的影响,通过田间试验的方式,分别在试验区土壤中施加0t/hm~2、15t/hm~2、30t/hm~2、45t/hm~2烟气脱硫石膏。研究结果表明:与对照组相比,各处理组的土壤全磷含量无显著差异,而土壤中的有效磷和渗滤液中的可溶性磷含量则随着烟气脱硫石膏施入量的增加而降低;施入烟气脱硫石膏后农耕土壤中无机磷含量显著增加,其中又以磷酸钙盐含量的增加为主,磷酸钙盐中的Ca2-P、Ca_8-P和Ca_10-P含量分别增加了30.8%—68.9%、35.2%—66.3%和7.3%—17.8%。烟气脱硫石膏的施用促进了植物的生长发育,有效磷的降低和无机磷组分中磷酸钙盐的增加并未影响到植物对磷素的吸收。因此,烟气脱硫石膏能有效地固定滨海农耕土壤中的溶解态磷,控制土壤过量磷素向水体迁移,降低附近水体富营养化发生的机率,保障区域水体生态系统环境安全。     

Wasserlinsen als Nutzpflanzen

Duckweeds as crop plants Members of the plant family Lemnaceae (duckweeds) are not only interesting because they represent the smallest flowering plants; they possess also the fastest rates of producing biomass. As aquatic plants, duckweed production is not in competition with other agricultural crops that require fertile land while the cultivation of duckweeds does not contribute to further eutrophication of surface water. Instead, they can be cultivated on municipal or agricultural waste water and remove the nutrients during their propagation and growth. Duckweeds can thus be used for cleaning of waste water and the resulting biomass can be valuable starting material for animal feeds and the production of biofuels. Research focusing on these goals has begun to transfer from research laboratories to pilot plants in different parts of the world, e.g. in New Jersey and North Carolina, USA; Chengdu, P. R. China; and Armidale, Australia.     

气候变化与人类活动双重驱动的冷水湖泊富营养化

富营养化对水生生态系统造成的负面影响已在世界范围内广泛发生,尤其对淡水水源地湖泊的水环境质量影响深远,进而引起当地居民的饮用水安全与健康隐患。在人类活动和气候变化的双重驱动下,富营养化辐射的范围不断扩大,从过去主要集中于温带大型浅水湖泊已经扩展到寒冷地区的冷水湖泊。分析了近年来世界范围内高寒地区冷水湖泊富营养化的趋势特征与研究进展,探讨了气候变化、人类干扰(农业活动、畜牧业生产、管理措施不当等)在不同地区冷水湖泊富营养化进程中的作用。在未来的研究中,应进一步加强对冷水湖泊富营养化机制的探讨,并对已有富营养化症状的湖泊进行生态修复,以确保冷水湖泊生态系统健康并改善饮用水源地的环境质量。     

Eutrophication: An ecological vision

The present review deals with the studies conducted on the impact of phosphorus on growth of aquatic plants causing eutrophication in well-known water bodies the world over. The review covers the definition and concept of eutrophication and the adverse effects on quality and ecosystem functioning. The eutrophication of several water bodies leads to significant changes in the structure and function of the aquatic ecosystem. Several activities of human interest, including navigation and power generation, are hampered. A large number of lakes in the United States, Europe, and Asia have recently been found to be highly eutrophic. Water, the precious fluid, is not uniformly distributed throughout the surface of the earth. Most of the water bodies world over are surrounded with densely populated human settlement areas and agricultural fields. The size of smaller water bodies in human settlement areas is on the decrease with rise in population. After treatment, a large quantity of sewage from the households is regularly discharged into the water bodies. The runoff brings down fertilizers and other chemicals from agricultural fields. The phosphorus contained in these effluents is known to promote excessive growth of plants. This review is an account of the role, sources, and monitoring of phosphorus, as well as its cycle. The natural phosphorus cycle originating from the weathering of phosphate rock is now a two-way operation, due to significant addition of phosphorus from anthropogenic sources. The detergents that are the major source of phosphorus inputs into water bodies (through sewage and drainage systems) have been thoroughly discussed. The major part of detergents comprises builders containing polyphosphate salts. An environment-friendly and effective synthetic builder is yet to be developed to replace existing phosphorus containing builders of detergents. The utility of the alternative builders available has been reviewed. Nitrogen has also been reported to affect the phytoplankton production in eutrophic waters in temperate regions. Several environmental factors have also been found to add to the problem of eutrophication in addition to nutrients. Several limiting factors—namely, CO₂ level, temperature, pH, light, and dissolved oxygen—are known to affect eutrophic water bodies. Eutrophication not only results in algal bloom but also affects wetland plants and activates early onset of natural succession at a relatively faster rate. Some of the plant species reported and studied world over are the best indicators of the level of eutrophication. The studies on the change in structure, function, and diversity of the ecosystem have been used as parameters to assess the level of eutrophication. In several countries adequate control measures have been adopted in to control eutrophication. But these measures were found to be only partially effective in controlling the phosphorus unloading in water bodies. In this review some control measures are suggested, with emphasis on biological control. The review concludes by taking into account the ecological prospective of the water—the precious fluid and a basis of life on the earth.     

Shifts in macrophyte species composition as a result of eutrophication and pollution in Dutch transboundary streams over the past decades

The catchment areas of transboundary streams in the Netherlands have been subject to increasing agricultural and industrial activities over the past decades. To evaluate the effects of these activities on the aquatic vegetation, a study has been carried out in 28 Dutch transboundary lowland streams. Recent data on distribution of 58 aquatic plant species and their growth forms were compared with historical data and were correlated with abiotic variables. Most of these streams lost species that are characteristic for streams and are sensitive to turbidity, eutrophication and pollution (e.g. Potamogeton alpinus, P. polygonifolius, P. densus, Ranunculus peltatus ssp. heterophyllus, Callitriche stagnalis and Myriophyllum alterniflorum.) Species, not common in streams but tolerant to turbidity, eutrophication or pollution (e.g. Potamogeton trichoides, Elodea nuttallii) appeared in many streams or increased in abundance. There was also a shift in growth forms: submerged species decreased or were replaced by emergent/floating-leaved species. Correspondence analysis was carried out to study the relation between the observed changes and the abiotic characteristic of the streams. The magnitude of the shift in species composition was positively correlated with the PO₄ ^3- concentration and pH (which was highly correlated with Cd²⁺) of the water. This leads to the hypothesis that increased input of sewage, agricultural and industrial water causes a change in species composition and main growth forms of aquatic plant species in lowland streams.     

The effects of mycorrhizae on phosphorus mitigation and pollinator habitat restoration within riparian buffers on unceded land

Agricultural pollution, especially phosphorus (P) can cause eutrophication of freshwater quality. Riparian buffers are best management practices (BMPs) which intercept agricultural pollution. However, they are frequently degraded by reduced biodiversity. P mitigation in riparian buffers can be enhanced through mycorrhizal inoculation and cyclical coppicing. We report on a myco-phytoremediation project that investigates mycorrhizae's effect on vegetation's ability to lower legacy soil P, soil water P, and increase woody biomass P uptake. It also aimed to restore pollinator habitat through planting a diverse, native plant palette (32 species), blooming from February to November. Planting and offering culturally relevant plant materials to the Abenaki contributes to their land rematriation process. The study was located on unceded Abenaki territory at Shelburne Farms, within 300 m of Lake Pitawbagw (Lake Champlain) which is impacted increasingly by P pollution from colonial and conventional agricultural practices. Along a drainage way three treatment plots were installed: buckthorn vegetation (OIV) left in place as the control, and two restored diverse multi-synusium plant communities, consisting of either uninoculated (RV) or inoculated with 19 mycorrhizal species (RVM). After 2 years, soil water soluble reactive P extracted from lysimeter samples was not affected by treatment but varied over time. However, water extractable SRP (WEP-SRP) and TP (WEP-TP) followed this trend RV > OIV > RVM which was inversely and linearly related to mycorrhizal density. Plants are best harvested in late summer when P concentrations are highest. Restoration science can flourish through reciprocally partnering with Original Peoples who hold expertise in ecological reconciliation.     

Asynchronous onset of eutrophication among shallow prairie lakes of the Northern Great Plains,Alberta, Canada

Coherent timing of agricultural expansion, fertilizer application, atmospheric nutrient deposition, and accelerated global warming is expected to promote synchronous fertilization of regional surface waters and coherent development of algal blooms and lake eutrophication. While broad‐scale cyanobacterial expansion is evident in global meta‐analyses, little is known of whether lakes in discrete catchments within a common lake district also exhibit coherent water quality degradation through anthropogenic forcing. Consequently, the primary goal of this study was to determine whether agricultural development since ca. 1900, accelerated use of fertilizer since 1960, atmospheric deposition of reactive N, or regional climate warming has resulted in coherent patterns of eutrophication of surface waters in southern Alberta, Canada. Unexpectedly, analysis of sedimentary pigments as an index of changes in total algal abundance since ca. 1850 revealed that while total algal abundance (as β‐carotene, pheophytin a) increased in nine of 10 lakes over 150 years, the onset of eutrophication varied by a century and was asynchronous across basins. Similarly, analysis of temporal sequences with least‐squares regression revealed that the relative abundance of cyanobacteria (echinenone) either decreased or did not change significantly in eight of the lakes since ca. 1850, whereas purple sulfur bacteria (as okenone) increased significantly in seven study sites. These patterns are consistent with the catchment filter hypothesis, which posits that lakes exhibit unique responses to common forcing associated with the influx of mass as water, nutrients, or particles.     

Restoring natural seepage conditions on former agricultural grasslands does not lead to reduction of organic matter decomposition and soil nutrient dynamics

In the central part of the Netherlands, wetland restoration projects involve the rewetting of former agricultural land, where low water levels were artificially maintained (polders). Many of these projects do not result in the expected reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus availability and subsequent re-establishment of a diverse wetland vegetation. The aim of the present study was to investigate which mechanisms are responsible for this lack of success. Thereto, we studied the effect of rewetting of former agricultural grasslands on acidified peat soil (pH = 3.5) on organic matter decomposition, nitrogen cycling and phosphorus availability in the soil for three seasons. To provide an explanation for the observed effects, we simultaneously studied a set of potentially controlling abiotic soil conditions that were expected to change after rewetting. It was found that rewetting of these grasslands with natural, unpolluted seepage water did not affect nitrogen cycling, but raised decomposition rates and almost doubled phosphorus availability. The main cause of these effects is a raise of soil pH to about 7 due to the hydrochemical composition of the soil pore water after rewetting, which reflects groundwater with high amounts of buffering ions. This effect overruled any reduction in process rates by the lowered soil redox potential. The counterintuitive finding of eutrophication after rewetting with natural and unpolluted water is considered to represent a new form of internal eutrophication, triggered by the restoration of natural site conditions of former agricultural land on acid peat soil.     

Restoration of Botshol (The Netherlands) by reduction of external load: Problem analyses and restoration methods

Since 1960 the water quality of the nature reserve Botshol has been deteriorated. An increase in the nutrient load caused an escalation in phytoplankton biomass and turbidity problems. This may have been caused by nutrient-rich water flowing into the reserve from the agricultural areas and from the polder of Nellestein. From 1980 to 1985 much research has been undertaken and participation of different disciplines gave the opportunity to analyse the cause of the changes. An integrated restoration plan has been drawn up to reduce the eutrophication. The plan was implemented in 1989 and in order to reverse the external nutrient load the following measures were taken. 1. Execution of a water management plan with the intention to isolate the agricultural areas from the reserve area. 2. Dephosphorization of the inlet water. These restoration measures resulted in a reduction of the external load from 0.6 to 0.1 g P m^–2 year^–1.     

Characterizing bioavailable phosphorus concentrations in an agricultural stream during hydrologic and streambed disturbances

In freshwater ecosystems, phosphorus (P) is often considered a growth-limiting nutrient. The use of fertilizers on agricultural fields has led to runoff-driven increases in P availability in streams, and the subsequent eutrophication of downstream ecosystems. Isolated storms and periodic streambed dredging are examples of two common disturbances that contribute dissolved and particulate P to agricultural streams, which can be quantified as soluble reactive P (SRP) using the molybdate-blue method on filtered water samples, or total P (TP) measured using digestions on unfiltered water reflecting all forms of P. While SRP is often considered an approximation of bioavailable P (BAP), research has shown that this is not always the case. Current methods used to estimate BAP do not account for the role of biology (e.g., NaOH extractions) or require specialized platforms (e.g., algal bioassays). Here, in addition to routine analysis of SRP and TP, we used a novel yeast-based bioassay with unfiltered sample water to estimate BAP concentrations during two storms (top 80% and?>?95% flow quantiles), and downstream of a reach where management-associated dredging disturbed the streambed. We found that the BAP concentrations were often greater than SRP, suggesting that SRP is not fully representative of P bioavailability. The SRP concentrations were similarly elevated during the two storms, but remained consistently low during streambed disturbance. In contrast, turbidity and TP were elevated during all events. The BAP concentrations were significantly related to turbidity during all disturbance events, but with TP only during storms. The novel yeast assay suggests that BAP export can exceed SRP, particularly when streams are not in equilibrium, such as the rising limb of storms or during active dredging.
