【目的】外来植物黄顶菊对生态环境和农业经济造成了严重危害,了解黄顶菊与3种不同本地植物种植生长对丛生菌根(AM)真菌群落结构和多样性造成的影响,可以从土壤微生物角度进一步解释黄顶菊的入侵机制。【方法】通过同质园小区试验模拟黄顶菊入侵的生态进程,以黄顶菊和3种本地植物狗尾草、藜、黄香草木樨为研究对象,采用AM真菌的形态学鉴定方法,研究黄顶菊与3种本地植物不同种植方式对AM真菌群落结构和多样性的影响。【结果】(1)黄顶菊根际土壤聚集的AM真菌种类与其伴生本地植物种类有关:黄顶菊与狗尾草混种处理中优势种为网状球囊霉和根内球囊霉,而黄顶菊分别与藜、草木樨混种处理中优势种均为网状球囊霉、根内球囊霉和缩球囊霉;(2)黄顶菊分别与狗尾草和黄香草木樨混种处理中AM真菌种类既高于本地单种处理,也高于黄顶菊单种处理,说明随着黄顶菊的入侵和地上植物多样性的改变,AM真菌种类也发生改变;(3)与3种本地植物单种相比,黄顶菊各混种处理和黄顶菊单种处理中黄顶菊根际土壤根内球囊霉的重要值均增加,表明黄顶菊入侵有利于根内球囊霉的生长和发育。【结论】黄顶菊入侵改变了根际土壤AM真菌的群落结构和多样性,AM真菌的改变既与本地植物种类有关,也与入侵程度有关。 相似文献

玉米秸秆还田对土壤丛枝菌根真菌群落的影响 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
为揭示农业管理活动对土壤丛枝菌根(AM)真菌的影响机制,基于Illumina Miseq高通量测序平台以及脂肪酸指纹图谱方法,研究了连续4年玉米秸秆还田后,AM真菌群落组成、AM真菌生物量及其与土壤环境因子间的相互关系.结果表明:所获得的2430个AM真菌OTUs从门到种依次分类,共分为1门、3纲、4目、8科、10属、143种,但不同处理间AM真菌群落丰富度(Chao1指数和ACE指数)、多样性(Shannon、Simpson多样性指数)没有显著差异.AM真菌中类球囊霉属、球囊霉属为优势属.随秸秆还田量的增加,球囊霉属丰度降低;3000、9000 kg·hm^-2秸秆还田量下,类球囊霉属、无梗囊霉属的丰度与对照(0 kg·hm^-2)间差异达极显著水平;原囊霉属、类球囊霉属、球囊霉属在3000 kg·hm^-2秸秆还田量下与对照间差异显著,非度量多维尺度(NMDS)分析表明,9000、12000 kg·hm^-2的秸秆还田量下土壤AM真菌β多样性与对照间聚集度较其他处理相差较远,秸秆还田量对AM真菌β多样性的影响显著.多元分析结果能在累积变量82.8%上揭示土壤主要理化性状与AM真菌丰富度、多样性的空间变化关系.土壤全氮、碱解氮是影响以磷脂脂肪酸表征的土壤主要微生物类群生物量以及以中性脂肪酸表征的AM真菌生物量的主要因子.持续玉米秸秆还田改变了AM真菌属水平上的分类学组成;随秸秆还田量的增加,AM真菌特有的微生物种类减少,AM真菌群落组成间的相似度下降;秸秆还田增加了土壤AM真菌生物量及其占土壤微生物总生物量的比例. 相似文献

Contribution of the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis to heavy metal phytoremediation 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
High concentrations of heavy metals (HM) in the soil have detrimental effects on ecosystems and are a risk to human health as they can enter the food chain via agricultural products or contaminated drinking water. Phytoremediation, a sustainable and inexpensive technology based on the removal of pollutants from the environment by plants, is becoming an increasingly important objective in plant research. However, as phytoremediation is a slow process, improvement of efficiency and thus increased stabilization or removal of HMs from soils is an important goal. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi provide an attractive system to advance plant-based environmental clean-up. During symbiotic interaction the hyphal network functionally extends the root system of their hosts. Thus, plants in symbiosis with AM fungi have the potential to take up HM from an enlarged soil volume. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the contribution of the AM symbiosis to phytoremediation of heavy metals. 相似文献

入侵植物与重金属胁迫的相互作用研究进展
全球变化改变了植物群落的分布格局,包括入侵植物,而人为污染可能降低本地植物对入侵植物的抗性。因此,本文总结了近几十年本地植物、入侵植物和植物-土壤生态系统中重金属生物地球化学行为的研究,以加深我们对入侵植物与环境胁迫因子相互作用的认识。我们的研究结合已有文献报道表明:(i)入侵物种对环境胁迫的影响具有异质性, (ii)影响的大小是多变的, (iii)即使在同一影响类型内,影响类型也具有多向性。然而,入侵植物暴露在重金属环境中表现出更强的自我保护机制,对重金属的生物可利用性和毒性有正向或负向的影响。另一方面,由于入侵植物普遍具有较高的耐受性,加之本地植物暴露于有毒重金属污染时具有“逃逸行为”,重金属胁迫环境更有利于植物的成功入侵。但是,对于入侵植物的重金属等元素组成是否与污染地区的本地植物不同,目前尚无共识。因此,在全球范围内对外来入侵植物与本土植物的植物体内、凋落物和土壤污染物含量进行定量比较是今后研究的一个重要方向。 相似文献

全球变化深刻影响着陆地生态系统生物多样性及生态功能。丛枝菌根(AM)真菌可与绝大多数陆生植物根系形成互惠共生体,在协助宿主养分吸收、促进植物生长、维持植物多样性等方面发挥着重要作用。本文主要分析了大气CO2浓度升高(eCO2)和增温对森林和草地生态系统AM真菌群落组成及其功能的影响。eCO2主要通过影响宿主植物、土壤碳(C)输入等方式间接影响AM真菌,可增加AM真菌的多度和活性,影响AM真菌的多样性与群落组成。增温可直接或间接地(通过宿主植物和土壤途径)影响AM真菌,显著改变森林土壤AM真菌的群落组成,但对草地土壤AM真菌群落组成的影响尚无定论。我们提出了当前研究中存在的主要问题及未来应重点关注的内容。本文旨在明晰AM真菌对eCO2和增温的响应和适应,增进对AM真菌介导的土壤生态功能的认识,为利用AM真菌缓解全球变化、增强土壤功能的韧性和全球变化的生态系统适应性提供依据。 相似文献

The heavy metal (HM) pollution of forest soil has been known as one of the most challenging pollution issues due to their characteristics. In order to know the HM pollution condition in urban forest, identify the possible source of HM, 102 sub-samples of soil in 34 sites and 39 tree rings sub-samples in 7 sites were collected in the outer-ring greenbelt (ORG) in Shanghai, China. Concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in soil and tree rings were analyzed, and the soil properties pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and organic matter were analyzed too. Geo-accumulation index and potential ecological risk index were used for assessing the contamination level of HMs. Nonparametric tests, one-way analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and principal component analysis were applied. The results showed that: (1) concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Cd in soil were significantly higher than their corresponding background values of Shanghai (BVs); concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Pb in tree rings increased gradually in the past 10 years; (2) Zn and Cd were in unpolluted to moderately polluted level, Cd has moderate degree potential ecological risk; (3) vehicle exhausts and abrasion of vehicle parts of tires and historical agricultural activities were the main sources of HM contamination; (4) Cinnamomum camphora (L.) Presl. has the potential to reconstruct the change of Cu, Zn, and Pb as a bioindicator. In conclusion, Cd should be considered as a priority control component. The relationship between plant and soil should take further focus and more studies of the behavior of HMs in soil and plants are required. 相似文献

青藏高原高寒草地AM真菌分布及其对近自然恢复的生态作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
超载过牧以及全球气候变化等导致大部分青藏高原高寒草地呈现持续退化态势。青藏高原高寒草地退化致使地上植物群落逐渐发生更替,地下土壤微生物群落多样性和丰富度发生改变。本文旨在探析青藏高原高寒草地丛枝菌根(arbuscular mycorrhizal,AM)真菌的分布特征、对近自然恢复的生理生态效应及其作用机制。青藏高原高寒草地中已报道4目14属61种AM真菌,约占已知AM真菌物种的20%。高寒草地禾本科植物根围AM真菌物种丰度最高,而莎草科植物根围AM真菌孢子密度最高。3种高寒草地植被类型中,高寒草原AM真菌丰度最高(33种),山地灌丛草原次之(32种),高寒草甸最低(22种)。高寒草原以光壁无梗囊霉Acaulospora laevis和闪亮和平囊霉Pacispora scintillans为优势种,山地灌丛草原以摩西斗管囊霉Funneliformis mosseae为优势种,高寒草甸以光壁无梗囊霉A. laevis、近明球囊霉Claroideoglomus claroideum和闪亮和平囊霉P. scintillans为优势种。高寒草地土著AM真菌与植物构建的菌根网络可以通过调节营养元素吸收、分配,促进植物建植和生长;但是毒杂草入侵可以改变土著AM真菌物种多样性和菌根网络,限制本地植被的实际生态位扩张。退化高寒草地中,AM真菌群落具有高的环境适应性和恢复力,其不仅调控地上植物群落建植和多样性,同时AM真菌建植也增加了代谢产物-球囊霉素相关土壤蛋白产生,进而协同改善地下土壤微生态系统,为退化高寒草地早期植被恢复塑造土壤生境。因此,AM真菌在退化高寒草地近自然恢复中具有较大的应用潜力。 相似文献

Host plant species effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities in tallgrass prairie 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
Symbiotic associations between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous in many herbaceous plant communities
and can have large effects on these communities and ecosystem processes. The extent of species-specificity between these plant
and fungal symbionts in nature is poorly known, yet reciprocal effects of the composition of plant and soil microbe communities
is an important assumption of recent theoretical models of plant community structure. In grassland ecosystems, host plant
species may have an important role in determining development and sporulation of AM fungi and patterns of fungal species composition
and diversity. In this study, the effects of five different host plant species [Poa pratensis L., Sporobolus heterolepis (A. Gray) A. Gray, Panicum virgatum L., Baptisia bracteata Muhl. ex Ell., Solidago missouriensis Nutt.] on spore communities of AM fungi in tallgrass prairie were examined. Spore abundances and species composition of fungal
communities of soil samples collected from patches within tallgrass prairie were significantly influenced by the host plant
species that dominated the patch. The AM fungal spore community associated with B. bracteata showed the highest species diversity and the fungi associated with Pa. virgatum showed the lowest diversity. Results from sorghum trap cultures using soil collected from under different host plant species
showed differential sporulations of AM fungal species. In addition, a greenhouse study was conducted in which different host
plant species were grown in similar tallgrass prairie soil. After 4 months of growth, AM fungal species composition was significantly
different beneath each host species. These results strongly suggest that AM fungi show some degree of host-specificity and
are not randomly distributed in tallgrass prairie. The demonstration that host plant species composition influences AM fungal
species composition provides support for current feedback models predicting strong regulatory effects of soil communities
on plant community structure. Differential responses of AM fungi to host plant species may also play an important role in
the regulation of species composition and diversity in AM fungal communities.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi mediate interactions between plants and soils, and are important where nutrient or metal concentrations limit plant growth. Variation in fungal response to edaphic conditions may influence the effectiveness of the plant-mycorrhizal association in some soil environments. Andropogon virginicus (broomsedge) colonizes disturbed sites in the eastern United States, including acidic mine soils where aluminum (Al) is phytotoxic, and Al resistance in broomsedge has been associated with colonization by the AM fungus Glomus clarum. In the present study, inter- and intra-specific variation to confer Al resistance to broomsedge was assessed among selected species of AM fungi. Broomsedge seeds were grown in sand culture inoculated with one of five isolates of three species of fungi (G. clarum, Acaulospora morrowiae, and Scutellospora heterogama). Plants were exposed to 0 or 400 µM Al in nutrient solution and harvested after 4 or 9 weeks of growth. Mean infection percentage, plant biomass, and plant tissue Al and phosphorus (P) concentrations were measured. G. clarum conferred the greatest Al resistance to broomsedge, with the lowest variability among isolates for colonization and growth inhibition by Al [tolerance indices (TI) between 22.4 and 92.7%]. Broomsedge plants colonized by A. morrowiae were consistently the most sensitive to Al, with little variation among isolates (TI between 1.6 and 12.1%). Al resistance by S. heterogama isolates was intermediate and wide-ranging (TI between 3.9 and 40.0%). Across all AM fungal isolates, resistance was associated with high rates of colonization and low tissue Al concentrations of broomsedge plants. The functional diversity in Al resistance displayed by these AM fungi reflect variation in acclimation mechanisms operating in the mycorrhizal symbiosis under environmental stress. 相似文献
