宁夏枸杞根际土壤线虫群落特征

宁夏枸杞具有很高的药用价值和营养价值,在宁夏大面积种植,带来了巨大的经济效益.研究不同条件下宁夏枸杞根际土壤线虫群落特征,对防止枸杞园土壤退化具有重要意义.以宁夏枸杞之乡——中宁为研究区,系统分析了季节、树龄和土层对枸杞根际土壤线虫数量和生态指数的影响.结果表明: 夏季宁夏枸杞根际土壤线虫数量最多,小杆属和拟丽突属为优势属;春季线虫数量最少,小杆属、针属和盘旋属为优势属;从春季到秋季,线虫稀有属种类和个体密度逐渐减少.随着树龄的增加,夏季根际土壤线虫总数逐渐减少;春季和秋季枸杞根际线虫总数先增加后减少,其中9年树龄根际土壤线虫总数最多.各树龄根际均为食细菌线虫所占比例最大,食真菌线虫和捕食-杂食类线虫比例很小,树龄<3年和>9年时植物寄生线虫比例相对较大.夏季枸杞根际20～40 cm比0～20 cm土壤线虫数量增加49.4%.随着树龄的增加,枸杞根际土壤线虫多样性指数、均匀度指数和丰富度指数均呈减小-增大-减小的趋势,而优势度指数先减小后增大.土壤pH值与土壤线虫优势度指数呈显著正相关;土壤有机质和速效磷与植物寄生线虫分别呈显著正相关和负相关;土壤碱解氮与线虫总数呈显著正相关;速效钾与线虫多个生态指数均呈显著负相关.整体上,随着树龄的增加,春季和秋季土壤线虫数量先增加后减少,夏季土壤线虫数量呈逐渐减少的趋势;线虫多样性下降,土壤逐渐退化.此外,在幼林和树龄>9年后需要抑制土壤植物寄生线虫的繁殖,以减少后期因线虫引起的病害.     

基于根际与凋落物际评价转Bt水稻对土壤线虫群落的影响

转基因作物在商业化推广前,有必要评价其对非靶标土壤生物的生态影响。根系和凋落物与土壤的界面是代表植物直接影响土壤的两个典型活性微域,即根际和凋落物际。基于室内盆栽实验构建水稻根际和凋落物际,比较了这两个高活性微域中转Bt水稻克螟稻(KMD)与亲本水稻秀水11(XSD)对土壤可利用资源、微生物学性质和线虫群落的影响。结果表明:转Bt水稻对土壤性质的影响依赖于水稻生育期和微域的变化。与XSD相比,KMD在苗期和拔节期显著提高了凋落物际土壤可溶性有机氮含量(P0.05);在苗期显著降低了凋落物际土壤铵态氮含量,但在成熟期显著提高了凋落物际与交互微域土壤的铵态氮含量(P0.05)。与亲本水稻相比,转Bt水稻分别在苗期和成熟期显著提高了凋落物际土壤微生物生物量碳和活性,而在拔节期和成熟期显著降低了根际土壤微生物生物量氮含量(P0.05)。微域间的交互作用显著影响土壤微生物生物量、可溶性有机碳和氮、线虫总数和各食性线虫的数量(P0.05)。转Bt水稻总体上降低了土壤线虫总数,尤其在苗期和拔节期的凋落物际土壤中达到显著水平。重复测量方差分析表明转Bt水稻显著影响土壤食细菌(P0.01)和食真菌(P0.05)线虫数量,及线虫群落的通道指数和富集指数。水稻收获后KMD秸秆的Bt蛋白含量显著高于亲本,全部KMD处理的土壤样品中Bt蛋白含量无显著变化,因而转Bt水稻对土壤生物学性质的影响可能并非来源于Bt蛋白的作用,而更可能来自于水稻生长性状和凋落物性质的差异。     

土壤线虫群落对闽北森林植被恢复的响应

为了考察地上植物群落的演替与土壤线虫群落的相互关系, 作者对闽北退化常绿阔叶林不同恢复阶段的土壤线虫群落进行了为期一年的定位研究。研究表明, 线虫群落对植被不同恢复阶段有不同的响应, 各恢复阶段线虫数量差异显著(P<0.01), 从大到小依次为: 荒地(Wj)、天然阔叶林(Cc)、针阔混交林(Clc )、针叶林(Pm); 土壤线虫数量的季节波动明显, 属数与个体密度均体现为春季＞冬季＞秋季＞夏季, 而夏季极显著少于其他季节(P<0.01); 土壤线虫群落DG指数与丰富度指数从大到小依次为天然阔叶林、荒地、针阔混交林和针叶林。而多样性顺序却表现为: 荒地>天然阔叶林>针阔混交林>针叶林; 不同恢复阶段土壤根系生物量、土壤理化特征存在明显的空间变异, 并且线虫数量与根系生物量、土壤含水率、土壤孔隙度、土壤有机质、全氮以及速效磷具有显著正相关关系。因此, 植被恢复过程中土壤线虫群落结构分异及其动态是一个重要的生态响应过程, 能为进一步研究土壤生物在植被演替中的地位和作用以及土壤生物多样性保护提供基础数据。     

江苏省不同农业区土壤线虫群落分布特征

调查了江苏省不同农业区农田土壤线虫群落多样性,分析了土壤线虫数量和群落结构与土壤环境因子的关系,并探讨了土壤线虫对土壤健康的生物指示作用.结果表明： 农田土壤线虫共鉴定出2纲7目19科41属.6个农业区的土壤线虫的密度、群落组成均具有一定的差异性.沿海农业区的线虫数量最多(每100 g干土400条),显著高于徐淮、宁镇扬和沿江农业区(P＜0.05),而沿江农业区的土壤线虫数量最少(每100 g干土232条),这可能是由于土壤质地、年均降雨量和年均气温等因素的差异造成的.地理位置相近的农业区线虫优势属相似.相关性分析结果显示,土壤线虫数量与土壤有机质、全氮、速效氮、速效钾和速效磷均呈显著正相关关系;RDA分析表明,土壤全氮含量、速效磷及pH对线虫群落种属组成影响较大.分析江苏省农田土壤线虫群落空间分布特征,可为农田土壤生态系统健康状况评价提供数据支撑.     

毛乌素沙地臭柏（Sabina vulgaris）和油蒿（Artemisia ordosica）群落的细根分布特征

用根钻法和细根分级的方法研究了毛乌素沙地臭柏群落、臭柏灌丛、油蒿群落的细根(D≤2 mm, D为根直径)垂直分布,并用渐近线方程Y=1-βd[Y为从地表到一定深度的根量百分比累积值(0～1),d表示土层深度(cm),β为根系削弱系数]描述根系分布与土壤深度的关系.对不同径级臭柏、油蒿细根的β值、根长密度及根面积指数进行计算,结果表明:以15 cm为取样深度级,臭柏和油蒿群落活细根(D≤2 mm)的各月生物量平均值,在0～15 cm 范围内最大,并且随土壤深度增加而减少.臭柏群落、臭柏灌丛、油蒿群落细根生物量垂直分布的β值差异不显著(P＞0.5),但相应层次上的月平均细根生物量,臭柏群落是油蒿群落的6.7～14.6倍(P＜0.05),臭柏灌丛是油蒿群落的14.0～19.2倍(P＜0.05).D≤1 mm与1 mm＜D≤2 mm的细根重量百分比与土壤深度都呈对数关系,但D≤1 mm的细根与土壤深度的相关程度更高.根长密度与根面积指数在各土层的分布有极大的相似性.在臭柏群落、臭柏灌丛、油蒿群落中,D≤2 mm的细根根长密度和根面积指数随土壤深度的增加而减小.月平均值中, D≤2 mm、D≤1 mm、1 mm＜D≤2 mm的细根在0～90 cm的根面积指数总和的大小都是:臭柏灌丛＞臭柏群落＞油蒿群落.     

不同植被类型的滩涂湿地土壤线虫群落特征

对江苏盐城湿地保护区内不同植被带土壤线虫的群落结构特征进行了研究.结果表明：调查共鉴定出20科39属,优势属和常见属的数量占总个体数的90%以上;不同植被类型的滩涂湿地土壤线虫总数存在明显差异性,线虫数量范围为每100 g干土79～449条,小麦地显著高于其他植被带,光滩地数量最少.线虫群落生态指数对植被带有不同的响应,土壤线虫群落多样性指数H、均匀度指数J在不同植被带的分布依次为：苇草带＞盐蒿带＞小麦地＞米草带＞光滩带,而优势度指数λ的分布为：光滩带＞米草带＞小麦地＞盐蒿带＞苇草带,表明光滩带的线虫群落多样性和稳定性小于其他植被带,土壤线虫群落趋于单一化;成熟度指数MI表现为保护区内未开垦植被带高于已开垦的小麦地,说明农田受外界干扰明显.不同植被带间的线虫群落结构存在显著差异,各植被带的最大贡献物种各不相同.土壤理化性状与线虫数量、营养类群、生态指数存在明显的相关关系.表明线虫群落的变化能很好地反映植被带生境的多样性,土壤线虫可作为湿地生态系统中一个重要的生物指示因子.     

我国西北地区芨芨草-苦豆子群落根系分布与种间关系

以宁夏沙湖的一个典型的干旱区草本型植物群落——芨芨草(Achnatherum splendens)-苦豆子(Sophora alopecuroides) (禾草-非禾草型)群落为研究对象, 自芨芨草-苦豆子聚生丛的基部向丛间裸地依次划分为植冠区、过渡区和空旷区3个分区, 通过比较分析两个优势种根系生物量密度在这3个分区的空间分布格局, 研究了干旱胁迫生境中芨芨草和苦豆子的根际关系。结果表明: 在水平方向上, 芨芨草根系总生物量主要集中分布于植冠区, 而苦豆子根系总生物量密度在3个分区间无显著差异; 在垂直方向上, 芨芨草的根系总生物量密度和细根生物量密度最大的土壤层次从植冠区到空旷区埋深渐深, 而苦豆子的根系总生物量在3个分区主要分布于10~30 cm土层, 但其细根生物量密度最大的土层从植冠区向外呈上升趋势; 同时发现, 在植冠区, 根系总生物量密度较高, 两种植物细根生物量密度最大的土壤层次不同, 但在空旷区和过渡区, 两种植物细根生物量密度的垂直分布格局趋于一致。群落中两个主要植物种的根系在植冠区具有垂直层次的分异性, 在不同分区间具有水平分布格局的差异性, 这可能是群落中两种主要植物种间为了避免根系间直接竞争共同适应干旱胁迫生境的重要机制。     

根际效应对大豆田土壤线虫群落组成及多样性的影响

根际作为重要的环境界面是植物与环境之间物质能量交换的场所,关于根际效应的研究已成为土壤生态学的新兴热点领域,然而有关大豆根际效应对土壤动物多样性影响的研究报道并不多见。在三江平原选择连续耕作15a的大豆田,对大豆根际区与非根际区土壤线虫群落结构组成进行了对比分析。结果表明:大豆根际区土壤线虫总数、辛普森多样性指数(Dom)显著高于非根际区,根际区的物种数(S)、物种丰富度指数(SR)显著低于非根际区。说明大豆根际效应增加土壤线虫的丰度,但降低了线虫群落结构的复杂性。大豆根际区植物寄生线虫(PP)、食真菌线虫(FF)和食细菌线虫(BF)数量显著高于非根际区,而PP类群的比例在根际区却显著低于非根际区。这一研究结果表明食微线虫(FF和BF)类群在大豆根际区的比例增加更显著。食真菌与食细菌线虫数量比值(F/B)指示大豆根际区细菌生物量相对高于真菌生物量。研究结果丰富了农田土壤线虫多样性的研究内容,并为我国东北大豆田线虫病害的防治及定制相应的农业管理措施提供参考。     

不同植被恢复方式下红壤线虫数量特征

退化红壤不同植被恢复方式下土壤线虫数量的顺序为：保护荒地＞干扰荒地＞马尾松＞小叶栋＞木荷＞混交林（木荷—马尾松）。土壤线虫数量的季节波动明显：春季和冬季较多,秋季居中,而夏季极显著少于其它季节（尸＜ｏ．０１）。就线虫数量季节变异系数所体现的群落稳定性而言,马尾松林地的变异系数最高（Ｐ＜０．０５）,指示其群落最不稳定。线虫数量在土壤剖面中呈明显的垂直梯度分布。在表层土壤,线虫数量与代表碳氮和生物活性水平的土壤质量指标,如有机碳、全氮、速效氮磷、微生物量、潜在可矿化碳氮、基础呼吸、酶活性等,一般呈极显著正相关（Ｐ＜０．０１）;而与代表土壤物理性质及交换性能的指标,如含水量、容重、颗粒组成、速效钾等一般没有相关性。鉴别分析（ＣＤＡ）将不同植被下的祥地分为３组,自荒１和自荒２为１组,小叶栋、木荷和混交林为１组,而马尾松单独为１组。总之,不同植被恢复下线虫数量的分异韧步体现了线虫指示红壤质量的潜力。

在植物生长季节,采用钻取土芯法对秦岭北坡50年生青杨人工林根径≤2 mm和2～5 mm根系的生物量、表面积和根长密度进行测定.结果表明：在青杨人工林根系(＜5 mm)中,根径≤2 mm根系占总生物量的77.8%,2～5 mm根系仅占22.2%;根径≤2 mm根系表面积和根长密度占根系总量的97%以上,而根径2～5 mm根系不足3%.随着土层的加深,根径≤2 mm根系生物量、表面积和根长密度数量减少,根径2～5 mm根系生物量、表面积和根长密度最小值均分布在20～30 cm土层.≤2 mm根系生物量、表面积和根长密度与土壤有机质、有效氮呈极显著相关,而根径2～5 mm根系的相关性不显著.     

Prediction of long-term fertilizer nitrogen requirements of maize in the tropics using a nitrogen balance model

A simple N balance model was used to calculate fertilizer requirement for a target N uptake by maize. Nitrogen uptake from soil sources and target uptake of N with fertilizer N additions were obtained from fertilizer trials in Africa and Latin America. Most experiments had data for only one cropping period, although some from Latin America had data for four to six crops. The transfer coefficient of fertilizer N to the crop was adjusted to realize maximum recovery of fertilizer N under best methods of fertilizer application. The time constants of transfer of soil N to the crop were allowed to vary and were affected mainly by soil texture. Where 4 to 6 cropping periods were available good agreement between actual and predicted fertilizer N requirements was obtained. With this approach long-term fertilizer N requirements for 14 sites were predicted using first cropping period N uptake. This study showed that pools of organic N in more coarse-textured soils were usually smaller and declined more rapidly than in fine-textured soils. Labile organic N pools declined with time under all simulations, but approached equilibrium within 10 croppings seasons. Equilibrium N uptake from the soil organic N pool was predicted to be 31 kg ha^–1 for the more coarse-textured soils and 36 kg ha^–1 for the fine-textured soils. Long-term projections of fertilizer requirements using input data of the field experiments were reasonable, and effects of legume green manures and other amendments could be clearly evaluated.     

Electron transport-linked nitrous oxide synthesis and reduction by Paracoccusdenitrificans monitored with an electrode

The nitrous oxide reductase activity of $\text{Paracoccus}\text{denitrificans}$ can be conveniently measured using an electrochemical method for determining N₂O. Introduction of this procedure has shown that (i) N₂O reductase activity is reversibly inhibited by oxygen; (ii) antimycin strongly inhibits electron flow to N₂O and that the inhibition is bypassed by tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine; (iii) ascorbate plus tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, presumably by donating electrons to cytochrome c, is an effective reductant for nitrous oxide reductase; (iv) in the presence of the nitrous oxide reductase inhibitor, acetylene, N₂O is promptly produced from nitrite, consistent with the product of nitrite reductase being N₂O.     

Distribution and remobilization of symbiotically fixed nitrogen in soybean (Glycine max)

Partitioning of nitrogen by soybeans ( Glycine max L. Merr. cv. Hodgson) grown in natural conditions was studied by successive exposures of root systems to ¹⁵N₂ and periodical measurements of ¹⁵N distribution. Nitrogen derived from the atmosphere was mainly found in the aerial parts of the plants, and the stage of development exerted a strong influence on the initial ¹⁵N distribution (measured one week after incorporation). Until day 69 after sowing, leaf blades contained 47 to 57% of the fixed N. After that, reproductive structures attracted increasing proportions, 10 to 60% between days 69 and 92. Around day 82, stems and petioles stored up to 30% of the newly fixed N. During pod development and pod filling and until maturity, fixed N was remobilized from vegetative tissues and pod walls to seeds. These transfers first concerned the newly incorporated N, but at maturity 80 to 90% of the total was recovered in the seeds. The high mobility of N originating from the atmosphere as compared to that coming from the soil (vegetative tissues exported only 50% of their total N) seems to indicate that fixed N was at least partially integrated in a special pool. This was certainly the case at the later stage of N₂ fixation, when a large portion of fixed N accumulated in the stems and petioles, probably in the form of storage compounds such as ureides for later transfer to the developing seeds. Further research is needed in order to investigate the nature and role of this pool in the nitrogen nutrition of soybeans.     

Simulation of nitrogen assimilation by heterotrophic soil microbial biomass

Assimilation of N by heterotrophic soil microbial biomass is associated with decomposition of organic matter in the soil. The form of N assimilated can be either low molecular weight organic N released from the breakdown of organic matter (direct assimilation), or NH⁺₄ and NO⁻₃ from the soil inorganic N pool, into which mineralized organic N is released (mineralization immobilization turnover). The kinetics of C and N turnover in soil is quantifiable by means of computer simulation models. NCSOIL was constructed to represent the two assimilation schemes. The rate of N assimilation depends on the rate of C assimilation and microbial C/N ratio, thereby rendering it independent of the assimilation scheme. However, if any of the N forms is labeled, a different amount of labeled N assimilation will be simulated by the different schemes. Experimental data on inorganic N and ¹⁵N and on organic ¹⁵N dynamics in soils incubated with ¹⁵N added as NH⁺₄ or organic N were compared with data simulated by different model schemes. Direct assimilation could not account for the amount of ¹⁵N assimilated in any of the experimental treatments. The best fit of the model to experimental data was obtained for the mineralization immobilization turnover scheme when both NH⁺₄ and NO⁻₃ were assimilated, in proportion to their concentration in the soil.     

Localization of Cu and heme a on cytochrome c oxidase polypeptides.

After mild dissociation of cytochrome $\text{c}$ oxidase protomers, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, copper was found predominantly in polypeptides of Bands V (m.w. 12,100) and VII (m.w. 3,400), and heme a predominantly in polypeptides of Bands I (m.w. 35,300) and II (m.w. 21,000). Some copper was found in Band II – III, and heme a in Band V.     

P effects on N uptake and remobilization during regrowth of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum)

The influence of P deficiency on the utilization of two sources of N, mineral N (exogenous N) and reserved N (endogenous N), for regrowth of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) was studied. P-sufficient (+P) or P-free (−P) nutrition solution was applied from 7 days before defoliation to 24 days of regrowth and the N flows derived from two different N sources within the plant were quantified by ¹⁵N pulse-chase labeling. Shoot regrowth significantly reduced by 12 days of regrowth, while root growth was more in −P plants. Inorganic P (P_i) concentration was highly reduced by P deprivation more in the stubble and regrowing shoots and less in the roots. At defoliation, P deprivation had induced a higher accumulation for all N compounds in the stubble and for amino acids in the roots. The previously incorporated ¹⁵N in stubble and roots as nitrate and amino acids was much decreased in −P plants especially for the first 6 days of regrowth. Total N content in the regrowing leaves was not significantly different between +P and −P plants, but percentage contribution of remobilized N for total leaf N formation was significantly higher in −P plants (78%) than in +P plants (69%) at 6 days of regrowth. From day 12, the utilization of both endogenous and exogenous N was apparently inhibited in −P plants.     

Uptake of ammonium and nitrate ions from acid mist applied to Sitka spruce [Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.] grafts over the course of one growing season

Cloned Sitka spruce grafts were subjected to NH₄NO₃ mist (1 mm day^-1 equivalent) acidified with H₂SO₄, for 4 days a week, from April until November. Three N treatments at pH 5.0 used 0.01 mol m^{-3 15}NH₄ ¹⁵NH₃, 1.6 mol m^{-3 15}NH₄ NO₃ or 1.6 mol m^-3 NH₄ ¹⁵NO₃. At pH 2.5, the treatments were¹⁵NH₄ ¹⁵NO₃,¹⁵NH₄NO₃ and NH₄ ¹⁵NO₃ all at 1.6 mol m^-3. At the end of the growing season,¹⁵N was found in every part of the trees, even when NH₄NO₃ was supplied at 0.01 mol m^-3. It was shown that both and could enter needles to a similar degree and be transported to the roots. No differences between pH treatments or clones could be demonstrated. Entry of labelled N via the roots, in those trees with unprotected compost, was reflected in higher fine root¹⁵N content, but no change in shoot¹⁵N levels. Per cent incorporation expressed as labelled N as a percentage of total N, was generally at its highest in bark, and in older needles in all treatments, values ranging from 5 to 11%. When¹⁵N content was expressed as total content for each tree part on a per tree basis, 25–36% was found in current year needles, with a further 12% in current year bark. The most reproducible data was that for dry weight of tree parts as per cent of the whole tree, where proportions compared closely between treatments and the two clones used. The implications of the results for cuticular transport mechanisms, N storage and internal cycling are discussed.     

土壤动物与N素循环及对N沉降的响应

以主要的生态过程之一——N循环为对象,论述了土壤动物不仅对凋落物的分解有重要影响,而且在N素矿化和植物对N的吸收过程中也起着重要作用。同时,日益严重的全球变化问题之一——N沉降对土壤动物的多样性及其在生态系统中的功能构成了极大的威胁。另还对土壤动物与N循环研究的方法、土壤动物在N循环过程中的作用机制、热带地区的需求及N沉降下土壤动物的响应作了探讨,并提出,开展大尺度的专类研究及长期定位研究成为下一步研究的需要。
