花椒叶浸提液对土壤微生物数量和土壤酶活性的影响

通过用花椒叶浸提液浇灌盆栽花椒幼苗,研究浸提液对土壤酶和土壤微生物的影响.结果表明, 花椒叶浸提液使根际土中细菌、真菌和放线菌数量以及微生物总数均有不同程度的减少,根际土中真菌和放线菌的数量变化呈降-升-降-升的趋势.20、60和80 g·L^-1浓度的叶浸提液使非根际土中细菌的数量显著增加21.59%、107.55%和8.62%,而40 g·L-1浓度的叶浸提液则使非根际土中细菌数量显著降低22.56%.叶浸提液使根际土蛋白酶、蔗糖酶和酸性磷酸酶活性明显低于非根际土相应的酶活性,而过氧化氢酶和多酚氧化酶活性则显著升高.土壤的蛋白酶活性与蔗糖酶活性呈显著正相关,与土壤放线菌数量呈显著负相关;多酚氧化酶活性与蔗糖酶活性呈显著负相关,与细菌、真菌、放线菌以及微生物总数呈显著正相关;放线菌只与蛋白酶、多酚氧化酶、蔗糖酶3种酶活性及真菌呈显著相关,与过氧化氢酶、酸性磷酸酶以及细菌和微生物总数的相关性均不显著.

湿地生态系统土壤温度对气温的响应特征及对CO2排放的影响

通过2年的野外定位观测,研究了沼泽湿地土壤温度对气温变化的响应特征,以及土壤温度对沼泽湿地植物 土壤系统CO₂排放的影响,并对CO₂排放的季节性变化进行模拟计算.结果表明,随融冻作用开始,沼泽湿地土壤温度对气温变化的响应强度不断增大,根层土壤温度与气温间呈显著指数关系（R²=0.94,P<0.01）,但不同深度土壤温度对气温变化的响应强度存在一定的差异,表现为随土壤深度的增加,二者之间的相关系数变小,土壤温度对气温的响应强度减弱.沼泽湿地植物 土壤系统CO₂排放与根层土壤温度有关,二者呈显著指数相关关系（R²=0.84,P<0.01）,利用模型模拟计算出沼泽湿地2003年生长季植物 土壤系统CO₂排放通量平均值为664.5±213.9 mg·m^-2·h^-1,野外定位观测值为634.0±227.7 mg·m^-2·h^-1,二者之间差值不大,表明利用此方法可以对沼泽湿地生长季CO₂排放进行估算.     

温度和水分对草甸草原土壤氧化亚氮产生速率的调控

通过试验室模拟试验,研究了调控草甸草原黑钙土N₂O产生速率的因素.结果表明,土壤水分对草甸草原土壤N₂O产生速率有重要影响(F=6.149,P＜0.01).但相关性分析表明,草甸草原土壤含水量与N₂O的产生速率间线性相关不显著.就土壤N₂O的产生速率而言,温度的影响远低于土壤水分的影响(F=2.275,P=0.106).土壤水分和温度对不同生长阶段的草甸草原土壤N₂O产生速率的调控作用主要表现为阶段性的多阶多项式关系：y=ax³+bx²+cx+d,其中a、b、c、d是常数.     

豚草叶片和果实气体交换特性与11种土壤重金属相关性

对10个样地中Cu、Pb、Zn、Mn、Cr、Co、Ni、Cd、As、Sb和Hg11种土壤重金属含量及样地内豚草叶片和果实气体交换特性进行测定.结果表明,样地内豚草叶片的净光合速率在1·88~9·41μmol·m-2·s-1,而果实的净光合速率最高可达2·81μmol·m-2·s-1.叶片的呼吸速率、气孔导度、光合速率和水分利用效率的平均值分别为1·81μmol·m-2·s-1、75·7mmol·m-2·s-1、6·05μmol·m-2·s-1和4·72μmol·mmol-1,分别是果实的5·26、0·64、1·31和1·69倍,说明非同化器官幼嫩果实具有与叶片相当,甚至更强的呼吸、光合能力和水分利用效率;研究地点重金属Ni达到轻微污染水平,其它重金属含量都接近或者显著低于重金属污染的阈值.相关分析和多元回归分析显示,大部分土壤重金属(如Cu、Pb、Zn、Cd、As、Sb和Hg)含量的高低对豚草气体交换特性没有显著影响,仅部分重金属含量与豚草的叶片、果实气体交换特性密切相关,如Ni和Cr对豚草叶片、果实的气孔导度及水分利用效率显著相关;Cr与豚草叶片饱和光合速率显著相关;而As与豚草果实的气孔导度显著相关.表明大部分土壤重金属对叶片和球果的气体交换没有直接影响,而Ni、Cr和As可以在轻微污染甚至没有达到污染水平时影响豚草的气体交换特性.

以开顶箱法研究了CO₂浓度升高对红松和长白松土壤呼吸作用的影响.结果表明,500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1使红松和长白松土壤呼吸速率明显降低,土壤表面CO₂浓度升高导致CO₂扩散受阻可能是土壤呼吸受到抑制的主要原因.500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1下两树种土壤表面CO₂浓度明显高于对照箱和裸地条件下的CO₂浓度,增加幅度在40～150 μmol·mol^-1之间;对照箱内长白松土壤表面CO₂浓度略高于裸地,差异不显著,红松差异显著500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1下的长白松土壤全氮及总有机碳含量略高于对照组,差异不显著,红松裸地的碳氮含量明显低于500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1 及对照箱内土壤碳氮含量;500 μmol CO₂·mol^-1 及开顶箱的微环境对地下3 cm处土壤温度没有明显影响.     

黄土高原不同土壤结构体有机碳库的分布

根据不同植被类型和土壤类型,分别从黄土高原不同地域分层（0～20 cm、20～40 cm和40～60 cm）采集22个土壤剖面样品,研究土壤有机碳库在不同结构体中的分布特征.结果表明,所有结构体,从表层向下有机碳含量和贮量皆呈递减趋势;而各土层,从＞5 mm、2～5 mm、1～2 mm到0.25～1 mm结构体有机碳含量呈递增趋势,而从0.25～1 mm到＜0.25 mm呈下降趋势,以0.25～1 mm结构体中有机碳含量最高.由于不同大小结构体所占比例不同,因此不同结构体中的有机碳贮量与含量并不完全一致：从＞5 mm、2～5 mm到1～2 mm结构体中有机碳贮量呈递减趋势,而从1～2 mm、0.25～1 mm到＜0.25 mm呈递增趋势,以1～2 mm结构体有机碳贮量最低.有机碳含量除土垫旱耕人为土在＜0.25 mm结构体中最大外,干湿砂质新成土、黄土正常新成土和简育干润均腐土在0.25～1 mm结构体中最高;但有机碳贮量在干湿砂质新成土和黄土正常新成土中以＜0.25 mm结构体所占比例最大,在简育干润均腐土和土垫旱耕人为土中以＞5 mm结构体所占比例最大.在不同植被下有机碳含量、贮量不同,表现为自然林地＞裸地＞人工林地＞农地.

Fine Roots vs. Needles: A Comparison of 13C and 15N Dynamics in a Ponderosa Pine Forest Soil

Plant allocation patterns may affect soil C and N storage due to differences in litter quality and the depth of plant C and N inputs into the soil. We studied the dynamics of dual-labeled (¹³C/¹⁵N) Pinus ponderosa needles and fine roots placed at two soil depths (O and A horizon) in a temperate conifer forest soil during 2 y. Input of C as fine roots resulted in much more C retained in soil (70.5 ± 2.2% of applied) compared with needle C (42.9 ± 1.3% of applied) after 1.5 y. Needles showed faster mass loss, rates of soil ¹³CO₂ efflux, and more ¹⁵N immobilized into microbial biomass than did fine roots. The larger proportion of labile C compounds initially present in needles (17% more needle C was water soluble than in fine roots) likely contributed to its shorter C residence time and greater degree of transformation in the soil. A double exponential decay function best described the rate of ¹³C loss, with a smaller initial pulse of C loss from fine roots (S₁k₁) and a slower decay rate of the recalcitrant C pool for fine roots (0.03 y⁻¹) compared with (0.19 y⁻¹) for needles. Soil ¹³C respiration, representing heterotrophic respiration of litter C, was much more seasonal from the O horizon than from the A. However, offsetting seasonal patterns in ¹³C dynamics in the O horizon resulted in no net effect of soil depth on total ¹³C retention in the soil after 1.5 y for either litter. Almost 90% of applied litter N was retained in the soil after 1.5 y, independent of litter quality or soil depth. Very small amounts of ¹³C or ¹⁵N (<3% of applied) moved to the horizon above or below the placement depth (i.e., O to A or A to O). Our results suggest that plant allocation belowground to fine roots results in more C retained and less N mineralized compared with allocation aboveground to needles, primarily due to litter quality differences.     

Soil Properties and their Spatial Pattern in a Degraded Sandy Grassland under Post-grazing Restoration, Inner Mongolia, Northern China

In this study, we use classical and geostatistical methods to identify characteristics of some selected soil properties including soil particle size distribution, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, pH and electrical conductivity and their spatial variation in a 5-year recovery degraded sandy grassland after two different grazing intensity disturbance: post-heavy-grazing restoration grassland (HGR) and post-moderately grazing restoration grassland (MGR), respectively, in Horqin steppe, Inner Mongolia, northern China. The objective was to examine effect of grazing intensity on spatial heterogeneity of soil properties. One hundred soil samples were taken from the soil layer 0–15 cm in depth of a grid of 10 m×10 m under each treatment. The results showed that soil fine fractions (very fine sand, 0.1–0.05 mm and silt + clay, <0.05 mm), soil organic carbon and total nitrogen concentrations were significant lower and their coefficients of variation significant higher under the HGR than under the MGR. Geostatistical analysis of soil heterogeneity revealed that soil particle size fractions, organic carbon and total nitrogen showed different degree of spatial dependence with exponential or spherical semivariograms on the scale measured under HGR and MGR. The spatial structured variance account for a large proportion of the sample variance in HGR plot ranging from 88% to 97% for soil particle fractions, organic C and total N, however, except for organic C (88.8%), the structured variance only account for 50% of the sample variance for soil particle fractions and total N in the MGR plot. The ranges of spatial autocorrelation for coarse-fine sand, very fine sand, silt + clay, organic C and total N were 13.7 m, 15.8 m, 15.2 m, 22.2 m and 21.9 m in HGR plot, respectively, and was smaller than in MGR plot with the corresponding distance of 350 m, 144.6 m, 45.7 m, 27.3 m and 30.3 m, respectively. This suggested that overgrazing resulted in an increase in soil heterogeneity. Soil organic C and total N were associated closely with soil particle fractions, and the kriging-interpolated maps showed that the spatial distribution of soil organic C and total N corresponded to the distribution patterns of soil particle fractions, indicating that high degree of spatial heterogeneity in soil properties was linked to the distribution of vegetative and bare sand patches. The results suggested that the degree of soil heterogeneity at field scale can be used as an index for indicating the extent of grassland desertification. Also, the changes in soil heterogeneity may in turn influence vegetative succession and restoration process of degraded sandy grassland ecosystem.
