长期施肥对紫色土农田土壤动物群落的影响

土壤动物在陆地生态系统物质循环和能量流动中起着重要作用,直接或间接的参与土壤有机质的分解与矿化;长期施肥对土壤理化性质产生影响的同时,改变了土壤动物群落组成.为查明紫色土长期施肥对土壤动物群落的影响及其响应关系,于2008年的5、7、9和11月分别对紫色土农田无肥对照(CK)、单施氮肥(N)、常规化肥氮磷钾(NPK)、有机肥(OM)、有机肥与化肥氮磷钾混施(OMNPK)、秸秆还田(RSD)和秸秆还田与化肥氮磷钾混施(RSDNPK)等7种长期施肥定位试验地的土壤动物群落进行调查,采用改良的干漏斗和湿漏斗两种方法,共获得土壤动物9454只,隶属7门17纲24目.分析表明,OM和RSDNPK两种施肥方式下土壤动物群落的多样性显著高于CK、N和NPK等3种施肥方式,说明有机物料的长期投入有利于提高土壤动物群落丰富度和多样性.方差分析表明施肥方式对土壤动物主要类群密度的影响差异性极显著(F=42.412,P=0.0001),对土壤动物群落类群影响存在不均衡性.施肥方式主要影响农田土壤动物类群的种群个体数量、线虫动物门个体数量、大蚓类个体数量、甲螨亚目个体数量、密度-类群指数DG及土壤动物群落类群数等六个指标,初步认为这些主要类群因素能够预测长期施肥引起的土壤肥力变化,可能对指示土壤质量的变化具有一定潜力.     

紫色土线虫对长期不同施肥措施的响应

土壤线虫在农田生态系统中数量丰富且对土壤环境变化敏感, 可用于评估不同田间管理条件下的土壤健康。本文探究了紫色土区长期不同施肥措施及土壤团聚体粒径对线虫群落的分布及其生态功能多样性的影响。试验设置了5个施肥处理: 不施肥(对照, CK)、单施化肥(NPK)、生物炭 + 化肥(BCNPK)、商品猪粪 + 化肥(OMNPK)和秸秆 + 化肥(RSDNPK)。团聚体粒径分为: 原状土(BS)、大团聚体(> 2 mm; LA)和小团聚体(0.25-2 mm; SA)。结果表明, 与对照相比, 施肥可促进线虫数量增长, 其中单施化肥处理下增幅最小(66%); 有机物料与化肥配施对线虫数量的提升更为显著, 秸秆 + 化肥处理下增幅达206%。不同施肥处理间线虫类群相对丰度差异显著, 大小均表现为: 食细菌线虫(BA) > 杂食/捕食线虫(OP) > 植食线虫(PP) > 食真菌线虫(FU)。小团聚体较其他土壤团聚体的杂食/捕食线虫丰度更低, 食细菌线虫丰度较高。秸秆与化肥配施处理下线虫群落结构指数和富集指数显著增加, 且各施肥处理下线虫功能足迹呈现明显差异。有机肥与化肥配施(尤其是秸秆 + 化肥)可提高土壤养分供应且有利于形成稳定健康的土壤生态系统, 助推区域农业的可持续发展。     

小麦-甘薯轮作长期增施有机肥对碱性土壤固氮菌群落结构及多样性的影响

生物固氮为农业生态系统提供天然的氮素来源,探究长期增施有机肥对土壤固氮菌群落的影响,为合理增施有机肥和维持土壤固氮微生物群落多样性提供科学依据。选取小麦-甘薯轮作中连续37a不施肥对照(CK)、单施化肥(NPK)、化肥+有机肥(NPKM)处理的甘薯季碱性土壤样品为研究对象。采用Illumina MiSeq高通量测序技术,研究土壤固氮菌群落的组成、多样性及其与土壤特性的关系。结果表明:与对照和单施化肥相比,长期增施有机肥降低土壤固氮菌群落丰富度和多样性,且丰富度与土壤pH显著正相关,与有机碳、全氮和有效养分(硝态氮、有效磷和速效钾)显著负相关。主坐标分析表明长期施肥显著改变土壤固氮菌群落结构,与对照相比,增施有机肥比单施化肥对固氮菌群落结构的影响更大。冗余分析表明土壤有机碳和速效钾是影响固氮菌群落结构改变最主要的因素。长期增施有机肥显著降低变形菌门、蓝藻菌门、Beta-变形菌和固氮弧菌属的相对丰度,显著增加硝化螺旋菌门、酸杆菌门和硝化螺菌属的相对丰度,这与土壤pH、有机碳和有效养分显著相关。因此,在碱性土壤上长期增施有机肥对固氮菌群落结构的改变更大,对群落多样性的抑制作用更强。     

施肥措施对不同母质发育的稻田生态系统土壤微生物量碳、氮的影响

以湖南省稻田土壤肥力监测点为基础,研究了稻田生态系统土壤微生物量碳、氮的特性.结果表明,不同施肥措施对不同地域和母质发育的稻田生态系统土壤微生物量碳、氮的影响程度不同.经过18年的不同施肥处理,不同母质发育的稻田生态系统土壤微生物量碳、氮的变化趋势基本一致,变化顺序为湖积物发育的水稻土>河流冲积物和第四纪红土发育的水稻土>石灰岩发育的水稻土>板页岩发育的水稻土.土壤微生物量碳为259.5～864.4 mg·kg^-1,土壤微生物量氮为8.7～70.7 mg·kg^-1.施肥可以明显提高稻田生态系统土壤微生物量碳、氮含量;有机肥是改善土壤微生物量碳、氮的主要基础物质,但以有机无机配合施用效果最好.与对照相比,施化肥和有机无机配施处理土壤微生物量碳、氮最大增量分别为407.6和59.2 mg·kg^-1,最大增长率分别为102.8%和514.8%.     

Community Structure of Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria under Long-Term Application of Mineral Fertilizer and Organic Manure in a Sandy Loam Soil

The effects of mineral fertilizer (NPK) and organic manure on the community structure of soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was investigated in a long-term (16-year) fertilizer experiment. The experiment included seven treatments: organic manure, half organic manure N plus half fertilizer N, fertilizer NPK, fertilizer NP, fertilizer NK, fertilizer PK, and the control (without fertilization). N fertilization greatly increased soil nitrification potential, and mineral N fertilizer had a greater impact than organic manure, while N deficiency treatment (PK) had no significant effect. AOB community structure was analyzed by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) of the amoA gene, which encodes the α subunit of ammonia monooxygenase. DGGE profiles showed that the AOB community was more diverse in N-fertilized treatments than in the PK-fertilized treatment or the control, while one dominant band observed in the control could not be detected in any of the fertilized treatments. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the DGGE bands derived from N-fertilized treatments belonged to Nitrosospira cluster 3, indicating that N fertilization resulted in the dominance of Nitrosospira cluster 3 in soil. These results demonstrate that long-term application of N fertilizers could result in increased soil nitrification potential and the AOB community shifts in soil. Our results also showed the different effects of mineral fertilizer N versus organic manure N; the effects of P and K on the soil AOB community; and the importance of balanced fertilization with N, P, and K in promoting nitrification functions in arable soils.     

Interactive influence of light intensity and soil fertility on root-associated arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Background and aims

Soil nutrients and light have major effects on the economics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses. This study tests the main and interactive effects of soil fertility and light on AM fungal community.

Methods

We conducted a 3 year mesocosm experiment with a full two factorial design: light (full light or shade) and soil fertility (unfertilized or fertilized), on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Plant traits, soil characteristics and the AM fungal communities inside roots and in soils were measured.

Results

Shade reduced AM colonization of roots, fertilization reduced the hyphal abundance in the soil, and both factors reduced species richness of AM fungi inside plant roots. Fertilization exacerbated the negative impacts of shade on AM fungal abundance and diversity. We observed 15 phylotypes of AM fungi inside roots and ten morphotypes of AM fungal spores in the soil. Taxa responded differently to shade and fertilization and there was little congruence between the responses of fungi inside the roots and in the spore community.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that both shade and fertilization reduce the abundance of AM fungi, but the two factors have different effects on the quality of plant roots as habitat for AM fungi.     

长期施肥对土壤氨氧化微生物的影响

长期施肥可改变土壤碳氮等养分供应,进而影响微生物数量与群落组成。本研究基于棕壤长期定位实验站,分析不同施肥方式下(不施肥,CK;低量无机氮肥,N₂;高量无机氮肥,N₄;有机无机氮肥配施,M₂N₂)土壤氨氧化古菌(AOA)和细菌(AOB)的变化,为土壤氮素转化的微生物学机制和培肥土壤提供依据。结果表明:不同施肥方式下,土壤AOA与AOB的数量比值为2.28～61.95。与CK相比,施肥后土壤AOA数量降低了1.6%～13.6%。N₄处理AOB数量随土壤深度增加呈先降低后升高的趋势,其他处理则相反。土壤AOB群落Shannon多样性指数、均匀度指数和Simpson指数均高于AOA。M₂N₂处理0～20 cm土层土壤AOB多样性增加,但AOA多样性降低。土壤AOB主要因土壤深度发生聚类,AOB和AOA均未因施肥方式发生聚类。综上,长期施肥改变了土壤AOA和AOB的构成状况,AOA对环境变化较为敏感,AOB较为丰富和稳定。     

长期施肥对麦田大型土壤动物群落结构的影响

于2007、2008年春季在中国科学院封丘农业生态实验站,研究长期定位施肥对麦田大型土壤动物群落结构的影响。调查共获得大型土壤动物3068头,隶属8纲,19目,28科。不同施肥处理条件下土壤动物类群数差异显著(F=2.51, P＜0.05, df=55),个体数差异极显著(F=8.99, P＜0.01, df=55)。结果显示,大型土壤动物的类群数和个体数在有机肥和营养均衡条件下较高,缺磷条件下较低。土壤动物多样性指数(H')以有机肥和营养均衡条件下显著高于营养不均衡和不施肥处理(P＜0.05)。主成分分析结果显示,第一主成分贡献值47.14%,第二主成分贡献值30.10%。经线性检验第一主成分与土壤动物个体数(y=0.335x-2.163,R²=0.51)和类群数(y=0.042x-1.25,R²=0.67)均呈线性关系。总之,长期施用有机肥和营养均衡大型土壤动物群落构成相似。土壤有机质和磷含量是影响土壤动物群落构主要生态因子。     

Dynamics of plant nutrient uptake as affected by biopore-associated root growth in arable subsoil

Background and aims

Soil microbial communities influence nutrient cycling, chemistry and structure of soil, and plant productivity. In turn, agronomic practices such as fertilization and crop rotation alter soil physical and chemical properties and consequently soil microbiomes. Understanding the long-term effects of agronomic practices on soil microbiomes is essential for improving agronomic practices to optimize these microbial communities for agricultural sustainability. We examine the composition and substrate-utilization profiles of microbial communities at the Morrow Plots in Illinois.

Methods

Microbial community composition is assessed with 16S rRNA gene sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analyses. Community- level substrate utilization is characterized with the BIOLOG EcoPlate.

Results

Fertilizer and rotation treatments significantly affected microbial community structure, while substrate utilization was affected by fertilizer, but not crop-rotation treatments. Differences in relative abundance and occurrence of bacterial taxa found in fertilizer treatments can explain the observed differences in community level substrate utilization.

Conclusion

Long-term fertilization and crop-rotation treatments affect soil microbial community composition and physiology, specifically through chronic nutrient limitation, long-term influx of microbes and organic matter via manure application, as well as through changes in soil chemistry. Relatively greater abundance of Koribacteraceae and Solibacterales taxa in soils might prove useful as indicators of soil degradation.

     

种植模式和施肥对黄土旱塬农田土壤团聚体及其碳分布的影响

本研究以长武黄土高原农业生态试验站33年长期定位试验处理为研究对象,选取撂荒(R)、小麦连作(CK/W)、小麦玉米轮作(L),小麦连作选取单施氮肥(N)、单施磷肥(P)、施氮磷肥(NP)、单施有机肥(M)、氮肥配施有机肥(NM)、磷肥配施有机肥(PM)、氮磷肥配施有机肥(NPM)共10种不同种植模式和施肥田间处理,运用干湿筛法和TOC法,分析长期不同施肥和种植模式下黄土旱塬农田土壤力稳性和水稳性团聚体数量、稳定性、各粒级团聚体中全碳和有机碳的分布特征,以及各粒级团聚体对碳分布的贡献。结果表明: 力稳性团聚体以>0.25 mm大团聚体为主,含量>67%,施肥使其减少;连作减少了微团聚体,而轮作增加了微团聚体且其效果大于施肥处理。水稳性团聚体以<0.25 mm微团聚体为主,含量>61%;施肥和耕作均减少了水稳性微团聚体。不同施肥方式和种植模式均降低了团聚体破坏率(PAD),增加了大团聚体(R_0.25)含量。施用有机肥显著提高了力稳性团聚体各粒级中全碳和有机碳含量;连作和轮作增加了各粒级团聚体中全碳含量,但轮作显著降低了有机碳含量。单施氮、磷肥使土壤全碳含量降低,而氮磷复合肥和有机肥使土壤全碳含量显著增加;种植模式对全碳的影响较施肥处理小,连作和轮作使土壤全碳增加。除单施氮、磷肥外,复合施肥和施用有机肥使土壤有机碳显著增加;不同种植模式对土壤有机碳的影响小于施肥处理,轮作使有机碳含量降低。微团聚体对土壤全碳和有机碳的贡献率最大,可达21.2%~33.6%;不同施肥和种植模式使微团聚体全碳的贡献率增加,施肥处理中NP和NPM显著增加了微团聚体的全碳和有机碳贡献率,轮作对微团聚体全碳和有机碳的增加趋势贡献最显著。     

Mechanical properties and soil stability affected by fertilizer treatments for an Ultisol in subtropical China

Background and aims

Soil mechanical properties are crucial for plant growth, soil erosion, tillage and traffic. The soil mechanical properties and stability of an Ultisol were determined in a 13-year fertilization experiment in subtropical China. The effect of organic matter on soil structure was also evaluated.

Methods

The treatments include: unfertilized, mineral fertilized, mineral mixed with straw, and animal manure. Bulk soil strengths (shear strength and penetration resistance) were tested in field. Aggregate strengths (penetration resistance and tensile strength), water stability, organic carbon (OC), hot-water-extractable carbohydrate (HWEC) and some related factors were determined in laboratory.

Results

Fertilizer increases aggregate penetration resistance, tensile strength, water stability and organic matter content in cultivated horizon (0–15 cm depth), especially at the 0–5 cm layer. OC and HWEC showed significantly regression relationships with aggregate water stability, porosity and water repellency for the whole soil profile (0–40 cm). Aggregate strengths also increased with OC and HWEC in cultivated horizon.

Conclusions

Animal manure is most effective in improving soil structure while aggregate water stability is the most sensitive index of fertilizer management. Soil organic matter is a strong determinant of soil structure. Both OC and HWEC are good indicators of surface aggregate strengths and stability, and thus, soil quality in this region.     

26年长期施肥对土壤微生物量碳、氮及土壤呼吸的影响

研究长期小麦连作施肥条件下土壤微生物量碳、氮,土壤呼吸的变化及其与土壤养分的相关性。以陕西长武长期定位试验为平台,应用氯仿熏蒸-K2SO4提取法、碱液吸收法和化学分析法分析了长达26a不同施肥处理农田土壤微生物量碳、微生物量氮和土壤呼吸之间的差异及其调控土壤肥力的作用。长期施肥及种植作物,均能提高土壤微生物量碳、氮含量,尤其是施用有机肥,土壤微生物量碳、氮含量高于单施无机肥的处理,土壤呼吸量也提高15.91%—75.73%,而施用无机肥对于土壤呼吸无促进作用。土壤微生物生物量碳氮、土壤呼吸与土壤有机质、全氮呈极显著相关。长期有机无机肥配施可以提高土壤微生物量碳氮、土壤呼吸,氮磷肥与厩肥配施对提高土壤肥力效果最好。微生物量碳氮及土壤呼吸可以反映土壤质量的变化,作为评价土壤肥力的生物学指标。     

长期不同施肥制度下几种土壤微生物学特征变化

 为阐明土壤微生物对土壤健康的生物指示功能, 以国家褐潮土肥力与肥料效益监测基地的长期肥料试验为平台, 应用BIOLOG ECO微平板培养法与常规分析法研究了长期施肥15年后不同施肥制度对土壤微生物生物量、活性、群落代谢功能多样性及土壤肥力的影响。研究结果表明, 与对照(CK)相比, 长期化肥与有机肥配施土壤中土壤有机质(SOM)、全氮(STN)、全磷(STP)含量升高, 土壤C/N与pH值降低, 土壤微生物量碳(Soil microbial biomass carbon, SMBC)、生物微生物量氮(Soil microbial biomass nitrogen, SMBN)、微生物商(qMB)及脲酶(Urease)活性升高, BIOLOG ECO微平板平均颜色变化率(Average well color development, AWCD)、土壤微生物代谢功能多样性指数变化不明显。和长期单施化肥处理(NPK)相比, 长期化肥与有机肥配施处理中上述几种微生物学特征(SMBC、SMBN、qMB、Urease及AWCD、代谢功能多样性指数)均呈极显著增加。NPK处理与CK相比虽然SOM、STN、STP含量稍有升高, 土壤C/N与pH值降低, SMBC、SMBN、qMB及Urease活性增高, 但是AWCD、土壤微生物代谢功能多样性指数却显著下降。过氧化氢酶活性(Catalase)在各处理土壤中的差异不显著。土壤微生物碳源利用的主成分分析表明, 长期不同施肥各处理在土壤微生物利用碳源的种类和能力上有差异。此试验说明, 土壤微生物受农业管理措施和多种环境因素的影响, 土壤微生物学特征可作为土壤质量的敏感指标, 为提高作物产量、增强肥力提供理论参考。     

沼液施用对海岸带围垦麦田土壤中小型节肢动物群落的影响

土壤节肢动物群落结构是反映土壤动物多样性及土壤质量的重要指标。沼液施用对土壤结构与肥力的改变,可能对土壤节肢动物群落的特征产生显著影响。以江苏东台海岸带连续施用沼液5年的围垦麦田为例,研究沼液不同用量(0、100、200、300 m~3/hm~2)及沼液替代(0%、33%、66%、100%)化肥对土壤中小型节肢动物群落结构的影响。结果表明:各施肥管理下麦田土壤中小型节肢动物的优势类群均为前气门亚目、甲螨亚目和弹尾目,平均分别占总捕获量的52.09%—53.33%、22.42%—23.86%和13.14%—16.51%。当沼液用量从0增加到300 m~3/hm~2时,土壤动物密度增加了94%,类群数增加约2个,优势度指数增加9.4%(P<0.05)。沼液66%替代化肥时,土壤动物密度、类群数和优势度指数最高。因此,施用沼液显著增加了土壤中小型节肢动物的密度、类群数与优势度指数。当沼液替代化肥的比例为66%时,促进效应最佳。主成分分析表明,无论单施沼液还是沼液替代化肥,弹尾目、前气门亚目与甲螨亚目的响应最为敏感,可将其作为土壤中小型节肢动物对施肥响应的指示指标。     

Impact of Long-Term Fertilization on the Composition of Denitrifier Communities Based on Nitrite Reductase Analyses in a Paddy Soil

The effect of long-term fertilization on soil-denitrifying communities was determined by measuring the abundance and diversity of the nitrite reductase genes nirK and nirS. Soil samples were collected from plots of a long-term fertilization experiment started in 1990, located in Taoyuan (110°72″ E, 28°52″ N), China. The treatments were no fertilizer (NF), urea (UR), balanced mineral fertilizers (BM), and BM combined with rice straw (BMR). The abundance, diversity, and composition of the soil-denitrifying bacteria were determined by using real-time quantitative PCR, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), and cloning and sequencing of nirK and nirS genes. There was a pronounced difference in the community composition and diversity of nirK-containing denitrifiers responding to the long-term fertilization regimes; however, less variation was observed in communities of nirS-containing denitrifiers, indicating that denitrifiers possessing nirK were more sensitive to the fertilization practices than those with nirS. In contrast, fertilization regimes had similar effects on the copy numbers of nirK and nirS genes. The BMR treatment had the highest copy numbers of nirK and nirS, followed by the two mineral fertilization regimes (UR and BM), and the lowest was in the NF treatment. Of the measured soil parameters, the differences in the community composition of nirK and the abundance of nir denitrifiers were highly correlated with the soil carbon content. Therefore, long-term fertilization resulted in a strong impact on the community structure of nirK populations only, and total organic carbon was the dominant factor in relation to the variations of nir community sizes.     

Community structure of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria under long-term application of mineral fertilizer and organic manure in a sandy loam soil

The effects of mineral fertilizer (NPK) and organic manure on the community structure of soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was investigated in a long-term (16-year) fertilizer experiment. The experiment included seven treatments: organic manure, half organic manure N plus half fertilizer N, fertilizer NPK, fertilizer NP, fertilizer NK, fertilizer PK, and the control (without fertilization). N fertilization greatly increased soil nitrification potential, and mineral N fertilizer had a greater impact than organic manure, while N deficiency treatment (PK) had no significant effect. AOB community structure was analyzed by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) of the amoA gene, which encodes the alpha subunit of ammonia monooxygenase. DGGE profiles showed that the AOB community was more diverse in N-fertilized treatments than in the PK-fertilized treatment or the control, while one dominant band observed in the control could not be detected in any of the fertilized treatments. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the DGGE bands derived from N-fertilized treatments belonged to Nitrosospira cluster 3, indicating that N fertilization resulted in the dominance of Nitrosospira cluster 3 in soil. These results demonstrate that long-term application of N fertilizers could result in increased soil nitrification potential and the AOB community shifts in soil. Our results also showed the different effects of mineral fertilizer N versus organic manure N; the effects of P and K on the soil AOB community; and the importance of balanced fertilization with N, P, and K in promoting nitrification functions in arable soils.     

The role of chemical and organic fertilizers on yield, yield variability and carbon sequestration— results of a 19-year experiment

Fertilization practice in the North China Plain has been changing since the late 1970s. To evaluate how organic and chemical fertilizers contribute to yield, yield variability and soil carbon sequestration, we analyzed wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield data in a long-term fertilization experiment that began in 1989, conducted pot experiments using soils from the long-term fertilization experiment plots, and simulated the soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics of individual treatments in the long-term experiments. Wheat yield results showed that when organic fertilizer was used as an alternative nutrient source for chemical fertilizers, it was neither directly beneficial to crop yield, nor decreased yield variability when compared to a balanced chemical fertilizer. However, there was a linear relationship between yield trend and SOC change rate (r = 0.951, P?<?0.01). The use of organic fertilizer increased SOC and soil fertility and consequently resulted in a larger yield trend when compared to a balanced chemical fertilizer. Roth-C model simulation and pot experimental results indicated that soils with higher SOC had a higher root/shoot ratio. Therefore, the long-term use of organic fertilizer not only directly increases SOC, but indirectly contributes to carbon sequestration by favoring root development. We found that yield variability was determined by the relative contributions of soil fertility and fertilizer to yield (the contribution of fertilizer to yield is the yield difference between fertilized and unfertilized treatments). The contribution of balanced chemical fertilizer to yield was higher than that of organic fertilizer, resulting in less yield variability in balanced chemical fertilizer treatment. However, if organic fertilizer was used as a complementary nutrient source with chemical fertilizers, it would increase the contribution of fertilizers to yield, thus decreasing yield variability.     

长期不同施肥方式对麦田杂草群落的影响

以太湖地区农业科学研究所31a的长期肥料定位试验田为材料,分别于2011—2012年小麦苗期、拔节期和收获期进行了杂草群落调查,研究杂草类型与密度的分布、杂草多样性指数的变化,并对杂草种群分布与土壤养分因子进行冗余分析。结果表明:小飞蓬、看麦娘、大巢菜、稻槎菜、通泉草是本地区小麦生长期的主要杂草类型;随着小麦的生长以及氮肥、有机肥的施入,杂草密度呈下降趋势;施入有机肥降低了麦季杂草的群落多样性指数,在小麦生长的不同时期均衡施肥的CNPK处理以及不施肥的C0处理的群落各项多样性指数能维持在一个较高的水平。RDA分析显示土壤氮含量以及有机质含量与第一排序轴相关性大,是对杂草分布影响最大的两个土壤养分因子。太湖地区稻麦两熟制条件下,长期有机无机肥料单一或配合投入可显著影响麦田杂草的群落组成,其中氮肥和有机肥的施入能显著降低杂草密度;土壤养分的差异影响田面杂草密度和优势种群,均衡施肥能降低优势杂草种群的优势地位,抑制其发生危害程度,提高农田生态系统的生产力及稳定性。     

不同施肥模式对雷竹林土壤真菌群落特征的影响

为探明施肥处理对雷竹林土壤真菌群落特征的影响,采用末端限制性片段长度多态性(T-RFLP)和荧光定量PCR技术,分析有机肥(M)、化肥(CF)、化肥配施有机肥(CFM)、化肥配施有机肥加覆盖(CFMM)及不施肥(CK)处理土壤真菌群落结构和数量特征.结果表明:施肥显著影响真菌群落结构与多样性,表层(0～20 cm)土壤中M、CFMM处理与CK,亚表层(20～40 cm)土壤中CF、CFMM处理与CK之间真菌群落结构均存在明显差异;且表层土壤中CF、CFMM处理真菌Shannon指数和均匀度指数显著低于CK.M、CFM处理表层土壤真菌数量显著高于CK.土壤有机质、全氮、铵态氮和速效钾含量显著影响了真菌群落结构的变异;全氮、铵态氮、硝态氮含量与真菌数量均呈显著正相关.表明雷竹林表层和亚表层土壤中真菌群落对施肥处理的响应存在明显差异,表层土壤真菌群落明显受有机质添加的影响,而亚表层则对化肥投入较为敏感;施肥对真菌群落多样性的影响主要集中在表层土壤.     

Fate and effects of phosphorus additions in soils under N2-fixing red alder

Soil phosphorus (P) dynamics are controlled by the interaction of geochemical, biochemical and biological processes. Changes in species composition or management could alter the relative importance of these processes. We examined soil P dynamics in two plantations of N₂-fixing red alder (Alnus rubra) by determining the fate and effects of added fertilizer P. History of the plantations varied such that sites were previously occupied by 60-yr-old stands of alder or non-fixing Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Without fertilization, the soil with a longer period of alder influence had more organic P (P_o) and less sorbed inorganic P (Hydroxide- and Bicarb-extractable P_i). Fertilization increased soil total P, and 88% of the fertilizer was accounted for in the surface mineral soil (0–15 cm). Sorbed P_i was the major sink for fertilizer P (55–60%), independent of site history. Although P_o was 35–70% of soil P in unfertilized plots, added P did not accumulate as P_o. Neither site history nor P addition influenced phosphatase activity. Fertilization increased decomposition during incubation of the organic horizon, suggesting that late-stage decomposition is P-limited in these N-rich soils. On the time-scale of a few years, geochemical sorption and desorption of inorganic P were the most important processes controlling the distribution of added P. Organic P accumulation is expected to occur over a longer time frame, linked to the production and turnover of organic matter.
