铜尾矿库区狗牙根根际土壤铜的形态变化

通过野外调查和室内分析,对安徽省铜陵市铜尾矿库区狗牙根根际土壤Cu的形态进行了研究．结果表明,尾矿库区狗牙根根际与非根际土壤Cu大部分为矿物态Cu,交换态Cu含量偏低．与非根际土壤相比,狗牙根根际土壤pH值下降,有机质含量显著增加．随着狗牙根的生长,根际土壤有机结合态Cu和交换态Cu含量显著增加,其占土壤总Cu量的比例分别增加7．89％和超过5％,碳酸盐结合态Cu和铁锰氧化物结合态Cu含量则有所下降．狗牙根生长促进了根际土壤Cu形态的转化,提高了Cu在土壤中的迁移能力,加之狗牙根的吸收作用,其根际土壤Cu含量显著降低．

镉与豆磺隆复合胁迫下小麦根-土界面镉形态的变化

通过根际箱试验,研究了Cd与豆磺隆复合胁迫下小麦根 土界面Cd形态变化的空间和时间效应.在空间上将根－土界面(0～5 mm)细化到1 mm,在时间上将取样时间分为14、21、28、35和42 d,并将小麦体吸收的Cd与根 土界面各形态Cd作相关分析,从而得出影响小麦体生长的Cd形态.结果表明,在小麦不同的生长时间内,可交换态Cd表现出的空间效应明显不同.在小麦生长的第14天,根－土界面可交换态Cd大体上由根中心区(6.186 mg·kg^-1)向根外区(6.482 mg·kg^-1)逐渐增加;从小麦生长第21天到42天,根-土界面可交换态Cd呈现出由根中心区到某一层升高,之后又由该层到土体下降的趋势.根-土界面各层碳酸盐和铁锰结合态Cd向可交换态Cd转化的趋势由根中心区向根外区逐渐减弱,而向残留态Cd转化的趋势逐渐加强,有机结合态Cd浓度变化在近根区较大.碳酸盐结合态Cd、铁锰结合态Cd、有机结合态Cd浓度随时间而逐渐下降;残留态Cd浓度则表现出明显的上升趋势.相关分析表明,近根层的可交换态Cd和有机结合态Cd是小麦能直接利用的两种Cd形态.豆磺隆对可交换态Cd含量变化以及碳酸盐和铁锰结合态Cd的转化有明显影响.     

三峡库区消落带典型植物根际土壤磷形态特征

三峡库区消落带生态系统演变对水库安全具有重要影响,其中植物群落演变与土壤氮磷形态转化及释放等广受关注。然而,消落带植物根际效应与土壤磷形态关系及潜在影响并不清楚。选择三峡库区澎溪河消落带为研究对象,分别在冲积潮土、紫色土和水稻土分布的消落区采集典型草本植物(狗牙根、香附子、苍耳)和农作物(玉米)根际、非根际土壤,分析无机磷和有机磷的形态特征,探讨了消落带典型植物生长对土壤磷形态的根际效应及潜在影响。结果表明,土壤类型对土壤磷含量及磷赋存形态具有显著影响,紫色土磷含量最高,且活性磷含量低于冲积潮土和水稻土,表现出磷库稳定性较高;4种植物根际土壤全磷、有效磷及不同形态无机、有机磷(弱吸附态磷WA-P、潜在活性磷PA-P、铁铝结合态磷Fe/Al-P、钙结合态磷Ca-P、残渣态磷R-P)含量均高于非根际,表现出明显的根际富集效应;不同植物根际土壤全磷和有效磷表现为狗牙根苍耳香附子玉米,但磷形态在不同植物根际富集水平不同:活性较高的WA-P、PA-P含量在玉米和苍耳覆盖区均高于狗牙根和香附子,而较稳定Ca-P_i、R-P_i、Fe/Al-P_o、Ca-P_o含量在狗牙根和香附子覆盖区更高,表明玉米和苍耳生长有利于稳定性磷的活化,提高消落带土壤磷流失风险。不同植物根际对不同形态磷富集率差异明显,且玉米根际对活性磷形态的富集率最高,表明农业活动可能加速土壤稳定性磷的活化。pH、土壤有机质、土壤容重与无机磷的赋存形态关系密切,而有机磷赋存形态受pH影响显著,植物根际有机质积累和有机酸分泌等是影响土壤磷形态变化的主要因素。消落带植物群落演变及恢复对土壤磷形态转化具有重要影响。     

石灰性土壤上植物根际中Fe,Mn的形态分布及其与植物吸收的关系

研究了石灰性土壤上５种作物品种根际微生态环境中Ｆｅ、Ｍｎ的形态分布．结果表明,交换态Ｆｅ（ＥＸ－Ｆｅ）、碳酸盐结合态Ｆｅ（ＣＡＲＢ－Ｆｅ）、无定形氧化铁（ＡＯ－Ｆｅ）和交换态Ｍｎ（Ｅ－Ｍｎ）、碳酸盐结合态Ｍｎ（ＣＡＲＢ－Ｍｎ）在根际土壤中都呈现明显的累积．各品种根际中的累积量有较大差异．相关分析表明,黄潮土上植株含Ｆｅ量、吸Ｆｅ量与根际土壤ＡＯ－Ｆｅ含量呈显著正相关．根际有效态Ｆｅ累积不仅是根际ｐＨ作用的结果,与根系分泌物对难溶性Ｆｅ活化有关．根际有效态Ｍｎ累积则受到根际土壤Ｅｈ的影响．     

施用污泥对油菜根际养分和不同种类重金属的影响

根际是控制植物养分动态的重要因素,养分动态也影响着根际土壤环境。当土壤被污水污泥改良后,根际土壤中的养分和重金属性质也会发生变化。目前很少有人研究施用污泥的土壤中植物根系对根际重金属有效性和分布的影响。采用根垫—冰冻薄层切片法对施用污泥后土壤中油菜根际的养分和重金属分布情况进行研究,以期探明污泥改良土壤中根际重金属的活化特征。当土壤施用污泥后,根际土壤中DTPA提取态Zn,Cd,Ni,Mn,有效磷,有效钾和铵态氮被显著消耗,而根际土壤中DTPA提取态Cu没有明显的消耗或积累。当土壤中施用大量污泥时,根际土壤的pH值随着离根表面距离的增加而增加。无论土壤是否用污泥处理,油菜根际土壤中可交换态Cu都显著减少。当土壤被50%污泥改良时,在距离根表面0—2 mm处的油菜根际土壤中碳酸盐结合态,铁锰氧化物结合态,有机物结合态,残渣态的Cu和Zn都被消耗较多。污泥的施用对油菜的生长有促进作用。随着污泥施用量的增加,油菜地上部分Cu和Zn的含量没有显著变化。施用污泥量小于25%的土壤中,污泥没有增加重金属的可利用性和移动性。除了Cu,油菜根际土壤中DTPA提取态Zn,Cd,Ni的减少表明施用污泥的土壤中重金属的活化是非常有限的。     

污染条件下VAM玉米元素积累和分布与根际重金属形态变化的关系

为了了解重金属Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd在土壤－根际－植物系统中的行为,揭示VAM植物减弱土壤中过量重金属对植物生理毒的抗性机理,采用原子吸收光谱测定Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd在污灌土壤中生长的VA菌根玉米和无菌根玉米中的积累和分布,并用连接形态分析技术分析了菌根际中Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd的形态分布和变化趋势,结果表明,Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd在菌根玉米中的积累量比非攻根中积累量分别减少10％、18％和29％,Cd积累量没有改变,生长7周后,菌根玉米是非菌根玉米生物量的1．5倍,与对照土壤相比,根际中除Cu交换态显著增加外,Zn、Pb、Cd各形态相对改变量显著大于非菌根,且菌根根际上中Cu、Zn、Pb有机结合态增加量显著大于非根际土,说明菌根际金属向稳定状态转移的程度显著大于非菌根际,同时,讨论了根际金属形态对金属有效性的影响,及其与菌根植物金属抗性机理的关系。     

Organic acids in the rhizosphere of Zea mays and Phaseolus aureus plants

Summary Soils from rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere of maize and mung crops and an uncultivated field were analysed for organic carbon, total nitrogen, cation exchange capacity and pH. The rhizosphere soils showed higher carbon and nitrogen content than non-rhizosphere soils. Phenolic acids viz, vanillic, p-hydroxybenzoic, p-coumaric, salicylic and syringic and pyrocatechol were detected in different cultivated and uncultivated soils. Pyrocatechol was absent from rhizosphere soils of both crops while p-coumaric and salicylic acids were not detected in rhizosphere of mung crop and nonrhizosphere of maize crop respectively. Syringic acid was present only in case of maize. Gluconic, tartaric, and citric acids were also detected in different soils. re]19720712

Fate and Mobility of Copper in Soil of Cocoa Plantations in Two Southwestern States of Nigeria Treated with Copper-Based Fungicides

Soils from cocoa plantations treated with Boudreaux mixture in two southwestern states of Nigeria were collected at different depths, 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm, and subjected to five-stage sequential extraction to obtain the speciation forms of copper: exchangeable, carbonate, manganese and iron oxides, organic and residual fractions. The Cu content in the extracts from the sequential extraction was read with an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The total Cu content of the soil and the physicochemical parameters of the soils were also determined. The results from the study showed that the soils had high organic matter and copper is mostly bounded to the more mobile exogenic phase much more than the stable lithogenic phase, indicating higher mobility. Within the exogenic species, carbonate fraction was the highest followed by the organic bound and the exchangeable fraction in decreasing order. Cu was not detected in the Fe/Mn bound fraction. The implication is that the fate of the administered Cu-based pesticide is more in the relatively stable carbonate bound species than the other, more mobile phase. The results showed variation in the distribution of the copper species from one depth to another. The most transported metal from the surface to the lower layer is the exchangeable fraction. The carbonate bound species is less mobile and is not readily transported into the bottom soil layer. The organic bound Cu has nearly equal distribution between the top and bottom soils and there was little or no transport of the residual metal specie from the top to the bottom. The existence of copper in the soil largely in the anthropogenic (exogenous) phase is not the most desirable for the ecosystem. This may increase the availability of Cu in the cocoa plant and bean and may lead to potential exposure risk.     

Functional Potential of Soil Microbial Communities in the Maize Rhizosphere

Microbial communities in the rhizosphere make significant contributions to crop health and nutrient cycling. However, their ability to perform important biogeochemical processes remains uncharacterized. Here, we identified important functional genes that characterize the rhizosphere microbial community to understand metabolic capabilities in the maize rhizosphere using the GeoChip-based functional gene array method. Significant differences in functional gene structure were apparent between rhizosphere and bulk soil microbial communities. Approximately half of the detected gene families were significantly (p<0.05) increased in the rhizosphere. Based on the detected gyrB genes, Gammaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Cyanobacteria were most enriched in the rhizosphere compared to those in the bulk soil. The rhizosphere niche also supported greater functional diversity in catabolic pathways. The maize rhizosphere had significantly enriched genes involved in carbon fixation and degradation (especially for hemicelluloses, aromatics and lignin), nitrogen fixation, ammonification, denitrification, polyphosphate biosynthesis and degradation, sulfur reduction and oxidation. This research demonstrates that the maize rhizosphere is a hotspot of genes, mostly originating from dominant soil microbial groups such as Proteobacteria, providing functional capacity for the transformation of labile and recalcitrant organic C, N, P and S compounds.     

The effect of physico-chemical parameters on speciation of trace metals insediments from inland and coastal waters of Ghana

The speciation of cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, manganese and iron into exchangeable, carbonate, reducible and organic bound fractions was studied in sediments from coastal and freshwater environments in Ghana. This was relevant as the species in which metals are stored within specific sediment components is important in determining their impact on the environment. For both coastal and inland sediments, a higher percentage of cadmium was associated with the more available exchangeable and carbonate fractions, while iron, zinc and manganese were mainly associated with the reducible and organic fractions. Lead and copper were found to have the greatest ability to form different species in the samples examined and were more evenly associated with all the fractions. The metals generally showed more ability to form different species in inland freshwaters than in coastal relatively saline waters. However, differences between inland and coastal waters were based more on whether the environments were oxidising or reducing than on whether they were fresh or saline. The metals may be divided into three groups of high mobility consisting of lead and copper; moderate mobility made up of cadmium, manganese and zinc; and low mobility, represented by iron.     

Relevance of Rhizosphere Research to the Ecological Risk Assessment of Trace Metals in Soils

The chemical, mineralogical, and microbial properties of the rhizosphere of a range of forested ecosystems were studied to identify the key processes controlling the distribution and fate of trace metals at the soil–root interface. The results of our research indicate that: (1) the rhizosphere is a soil microenvironment where properties (e.g., pH, organic matter, microbes) and processes (nutrient and water absorption, exudation) differ markedly from those of the adjacent bulk soil; (2) the rhizosphere is a corrosive medium where the weathering and neoformation of soil solid phases are enhanced; (3) the concentrations of solid-phase and water-soluble trace metals like Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn are generally higher in the rhizosphere as shown by both macroscopic and microscopic approaches; (4) a larger fraction of water-soluble metals is complexed by dissolved organic substances in the rhizosphere; and (5) soil microorganisms play, either directly or indirectly, a distinct role on metal speciation, in particular Cu and Zn, in the rhizosphere. These results improve our capacity to estimate metal speciation and bioavailability at the soil–root interface. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the crucial physical position occupied by the rhizosphere with respect to the process of elemental uptake by plants and its key functional role in the transfer of trace metals along the food chain. We conclude that the properties and processes of the rhizosphere should be viewed as key components of assessments of the ecological risks associated with the presence of trace metals in soils.     

Inoculation of selenium hyperaccumulator Stanleya pinnata and related non‐accumulator Stanleya elata with hyperaccumulator rhizosphere fungi—investigation of effects on Se accumulation and speciation

Little is known about how fungi affect elemental accumulation in hyperaccumulators (HAs). Here, two rhizosphere fungi from selenium (Se) HA Stanleya pinnata, Alternaria seleniiphila (A1) and Aspergillus leporis (AS117), were used to inoculate S. pinnata and related non‐HA Stanleya elata. Growth and Se and sulfur (S) accumulation were analyzed. Furthermore, X‐ray microprobe analysis was used to investigate elemental distribution and speciation. Growth of S. pinnata was not affected by inoculation or by Se. Stanleya elata growth was negatively affected by AS117 and by Se, but combination of both did not reduce growth. Selenium translocation was reduced in inoculated S. pinnata, and inoculation reduced S translocation in both species. Root Se distribution and speciation were not affected by inoculation in either species; both species accumulated mainly (90%) organic Se. Sulfur, in contrast, was present equally in organic and inorganic forms in S. pinnata roots. Thus, these rhizosphere fungi can affect growth and Se and/or S accumulation, depending on host species. They generally enhanced root accumulation and reduced translocation. These effects cannot be attributed to altered plant Se speciation but may involve altered rhizosphere speciation, as these fungi are known to produce elemental Se. Reduced Se translocation may be useful in applications where toxicity to herbivores and movement of Se into the food chain is a concern. The finding that fungal inoculation can enhance root Se accumulation may be useful in Se biofortification or phytoremediation using root crop species.     

Heterozygosis drives maize hybrids to select elite 2,4-diacethylphloroglucinol-producing Pseudomonas strains among resident soil populations

By comparing the distribution of two genomic markers among Pseudomonas strains recovered from the rhizosphere of two maize hybrids with those of strains recovered from the rhizosphere of their four respective parental lines, we showed that both hybrids supported more elite probiotic strains than the parents. Elite Pseudomonas strains showed genomic potential for both an appropriate in vitro 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) productivity, and a superior root-colonization ability. The actual biocontrol and root-colonization abilities of these strains were confirmed by bioassays on five fungal strains and on axenic maize plants. Furthermore, results on the abundance and genetic diversity of resident DAPG+ Pseudomonas strains indicated that each hybrid was able to select its own specific DAPG+ population, whereas the four parental lines were not. The evidence that heterozygosis can drive maize plants to select elite probiotic rhizospheric DAPG+ Pseudomonas strains opens the way to a new strategy in the set up of plant breeding for low-input and organic agriculture.
