三江源区高寒草甸退化对土壤水源涵养功能的影响

三江源区是我国重要的水源涵养区,研究草地退化对土壤水源涵养功能的影响,可为三江源区水源涵养功能的科学评估与合理监测提供科学依据。以实地采样与室内测试分析相结合的方法研究了三江源区内不同土壤类型高寒草甸生物量特征、土壤水文物理性质及土壤水源涵养量。结果表明:高寒草甸在重度退化阶段地上生物量、地下生物量、毛管孔隙度、总孔隙度、自然含水量、最大持水量、土壤水源涵养量显著低于未退化和中度退化阶段(P<0.05)。随着高寒草甸退化程度加剧,土壤容重逐渐增大,且非毛管孔隙度规律不显著。未退化、中度退化、重度退化草甸的土壤水源涵养量范围分别为1884.32—1897.44t/hm2、1360.04—1707.79t/hm2、1082.38—1550.10t/hm2。中度退化草甸土壤水源涵养量比未退化草甸低9.37%—10.35%,重度退化草甸低18.31%—27.82%。草甸退化进程中土壤总孔隙度与毛管孔隙度的降低是影响土壤水源涵养量下降的直接原因,而草甸退化进程中地上生物量与地下生物量的减少则是间接原因。度量三江源区高寒草甸土壤水源涵养功能时应着重考虑毛管孔隙度的蓄水作用。研究表明高寒草甸地上生物量与土壤水源涵养量之间存在显著的正相关关系(P<0.05),该结果能够推动水源涵养功能评估向空间化、精细化发展,为探索利用遥感技术监测三江源区水源涵养功能提供参考依据。

Influence of lactic acid bacteria on stereoselective degradation of theta‐cypermethrin

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of four kinds of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on stereoselective degradation of theta‐cypermethrin (CYP), including Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, and Streptococcus thermophilus. An effective analytical method for (±)‐theta‐CYP in medium was developed by high‐performance liquid chromatography with cellulose tris‐(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase. theta‐Cypermethrin was spiked to LAB medium with different inoculation rates and sampled at 0, 2, 8, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, and 240 hours. The results showed that LAB influenced the half‐lives and enantiomer fractions of theta‐CYP enantiomers, which lead a closer degradation rate between the 2 stereoisomers, and no obvious difference was found among 4 LABs. Besides, the stereoselective degradation of theta‐CYP was closely related to pH. The lower the pH (pH of 3, 5, 7, and 9), the lower the enantiomer fraction (from 4.88 to 6.69). At pH of 3, 7, and 9, significant differences of half‐lives between enantiomers were observed. (?)‐theta‐Cypermethrin decreased faster than (+)‐theta‐CYP under pH of 3, while opposite results were indicated under pH of 7 and 9. Moreover, the acidic condition contributed to the higher chiral configuration stability of (±)‐theta‐CYP. (+)‐Enantiomer was influenced by pH in a greater degree than (?)‐enantiomer.     

Enantioselectivity in degradation and transformation of quizalofop-ethyl in soils

The enantioselective degradation of quizalofop-ethyl and its metabolite quizalofop-acid in two soils, a Wuhan acidic soil and a Baoding alkaline soil, was investigated. The dissipation of quizalofop-ethyl consisted of two phases, a rapidly deceasing first phase that lasted 1 day and a slowly decreasing second phase that extended till the end of the incubation. It is shown that S-quizalofop-ethyl degraded slightly faster than R-quizalofop-ethyl in the two soils. Further incubation of enantiopure enaniomers showed that quizalofop-ethyl was configurationally stable in soil. Quizalofop-acid was produced quickly, and its amount reached a maximum at 1-6 days time and then decreased slowly with half-lives ranging from 11 to 21 days. The results also showed that quizalofop-acid degraded faster in the acidic Wuhan soil than in the alkaline Baoding soil. At last, significant enantiomerization from S-quizalofop-acid to R-quizalofop-acid was observed, and the enantiomerization was fast, resulting in residues enriched with R-quizalofop-acid whatever racemic quizalofop-ethyl or pure enantiomers were initially applied in the soils.     

Fungi are the predominant micro-organisms responsible for degradation of soil-buried polyester polyurethane over a range of soil water holding capacities

AIMS: To investigate the relationship between soil water holding capacity (WHC) and biodegradation of polyester polyurethane (PU) and to quantify and identify the predominant degrading micro-organisms in the biofilms on plastic buried in soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: High numbers of both fungi and bacteria were recovered from biofilms on soil-buried dumb-bell-shaped pieces of polyester PU after 44 days at 15-100% WHC. The tensile strength of the polyester PU was reduced by up to 60% over 20-80% soil WHC, but no reduction occurred at 15, 90 or 100% soil WHC. A PU agar clearance assay indicated that fungi, but not bacteria were, the major degrading organisms in the biofilms on polyester PU and 10-30% of all the isolated fungi were able to degrade polyester PU in this assay. A 5.8S rDNA sequencing identified 13 strains of fungi representing the three major colony morphology types responsible for PU degradation. Sequence homology matches identified these strains as Nectria gliocladioides (five strains), Penicillium ochrochloron (one strain) and Geomyces pannorum (seven strains). Geomyces pannorum was the predominant organism in the biofilms comprising 22-100% of the viable polyester PU degrading fungi. CONCLUSIONS: Polyester PU degradation was optimum under a wide range of soil WHC and the predominant degrading organisms were fungi. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: By identifying the predominant degrading fungi in soil and studying the optimum WHC conditions for degradation of PU it allows us to better understand how plastics are broken down in the environment such as in landfill sites.

Water-holding capacity of ground covers and soils in alpine and sub-alpine shrubs in western Sichuan, China

The water-holding functions of soils and ground covers in terms of moss and litters in the three major shrubs at different altitude gradients were studied using field investigation. The water-holding functions were measured and expressed with Biomass (t/hm²) of moss and litters, along with their maximal water holding capacity (MWHC, t/hm²) and maximal water holding rate (MWHR, %). The physical characteristics of the soils included bulk density, MWHC, capillary water holding capacity (CWHC), and least water holding capacity (LWHC). The result showed that Rhododendron przewalskii shrub exhibited the highest water-holding capacity among the three types. The average MWHC of the moss, litters, and at a depth of 0–40cm in R. przewalskii at different elevation gradients was 46.73,139.98 t/hm², and 2216.92 t/hm², respectively, whereas the average MWHC of the moss, litters, and soils in Quercus aquifolioides was 1.64, 72.08 t/hm² and 2114.88 t/hm², respectively. There was no moss in Quercus cocciferoides, and the average MWHC of litters and soils at a depth of 0–40 cm at different elevation gradients was 84.55 t/hm² and 2062.83 t/hm², respectively. The biomass and MWHC of the moss layer in R. przewalskii shrub significantly decreased with increasing elevation, whereas the reverse occurred in Q. aquifolioides before the maximum was reached at 3400 m, and then the SCM and MWHC decreased. MWHR of the moss layer in R. przewalskii was higher than that in Q. aquifolioides. The biomass and MWHC of the litters in R. przewalskii and Q. aquifolioides decreased with increasing elevation, whereas the reverse occurred in Q. cocciferoide. Regardless of shrub types, soil bulk density increased significantly with increasing soil depth, whereas MWHC decreased significantly with increasing soil depth. Significant decrease in CWHC and LWHC were found only in certain shrub communities. The MWHC with respect to the 0–40cm soil depth significantly decreased with increasing elevation only in R. przewalskii shrub, whereas there was no significant difference in MWHCs among the different elevation gradients for the other two types.

Enantioselective degradation of tebuconazole in cabbage, cucumber, and soils

The enantioselective degradation of tebuconazole has been investigated to elucidate the behaviors in agricultural soils, cabbage, and cucumber fruit. Rac-tebuconazole was fortified into three types of agricultural soils and sprayed foliage of cabbage and cucumber, respectively. The degradation kinetics, enantiomer fraction and enantiomeric selectivity were determined by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on a Lux amylose-2 chiral column. The process of the degradation of tebuconazole enantiomers followed first-order kinetic in the test soils and vegetables. It has been shown that the degradation of tebuconazole was enantioselective. The results indicated that the (+)-S-tebuconazole showed a faster degradation in cabbage, while the (-)-R-tebuconazole dissipated faster than (+)-S-form in cucumber fruit and the test soils.     

Simulated climate change affecting microorganisms,nematode density and biodiversity in subarctic soils

Arctic terrestrial ecosystems are strongly dominated by temperature, and global warming is expected to have a particularly strong impact in high latitudes. The Arctic will therefore be an important region for early detection of global change. In the present study the effects of environmental manipulations simulating climate change on soil microorganisms and nematode populations were investigated. Study sites were a dwarf shrub dominated tree-line heath (450 m a.s.l.) and a high altitude fellfield (1150 m a.s.l.) at Abisko, Swedish Lapland. Soil temperature was enhanced by using passive greenhouses and the impact on soil organisms with and without NPK fertilizer addition was assessed. The nematode community was strongly affected by warming and nutrient application. Population density was twice as high for all treatments at the fellfield as compared to controls. At the heath temperature enhancement with or without fertilizer application also led to a doubling of the population density, whereas fertilization alone caused an increase of about one third. The environmental manipulations resulted in a greater microbial biomass C and active fungal biomass in the heath soil. Increased density was also recorded for bacterial and fungal feeding nematodes at both sites. The results suggest that nematodes have an important impact on microbial biomass and turnover rates in the two subarctic systems. Elevated soil temperature apparently will lead to increased grazing on microorganisms, contributing to enhanced net N and P mineralization rates and plant nutrient availability. However, biodiversity was generally affected negatively by the environmental manipulations. The effects were more severe at the high altitude fellfield indicating that the influence of elevated temperature will be more pronounced in systems already stressed by extreme climatic conditions.

Occurrence and microbial degradation of fipronil residues in tropical highland rhizosphere soils of Kerala,India

The aim of the current study was to analyze the abundance and activity of soil microflora in response to fipronil residues, as well as conjointly to isolate and identify bacteria for the bioremediation of fipronil contaminated soils in the cardamom plantations of Idukki district, Kerala. Soil samples collected from rhizosphere areas of six completely different cardamom plantations were analyzed for fipronil residues, physicochemical properties, biochemical properties, and microbial abundance. Biodegradation studies using isolated bacteria were done both in liquid medium and in soil microcosm fortified with fipronil. Fipronil residues were detected in all sampling sites. Canonical correlation analysis revealed that the influence of fipronil on soil physicochemical properties was more pronounced than that on soil microbial properties. The presence of fipronil residues in the soil did not adversely affect bacterial abundance and activity. Two bacterial strains Staphylococcus arlettae and Bacillus thuringiensis could degrade fipronil in both liquid culture and soil. Paired sample T-test and degradation kinetic study recorded that the bacterial strain S. arlettae was more efficient (81.94%) in fipronil degradation than B. thuringiensis (65.98%). The results revealed the potential for in situ bioremediation of fipronil contaminated soil by bioaugmentation using efficient bacterial isolates.     

土地利用变化对海南土壤水源涵养功能的影响

热带地区已有大量原始林转变为其他土地利用类型,影响了陆地生态系统的水源涵养功能.为了明确热带原始林转变为其他土地类型对土壤水源涵养功能的影响,在海南中部山区选择4种典型土地利用类型,包括林龄大于100年的原始林(VF)、10年生次生林(SF)、12年生槟榔林(AF)和35年生橡胶林(RF),评估土地利用变化对土壤持水性能和水源涵养功能指数(SWI)的影响.结果表明: 与原始林相比,表层土壤(0～10 cm)中,其他土地类型土壤持水性能指标均降低,12年槟榔林各土层指标均最低.土壤含水量和最大持水量与植被郁闭度、土壤有机质和土壤容重显著相关,表明郁闭度、土壤有机质和紧实度的改变是土壤持水性能变化的重要原因.与原始林相比,次生林、槟榔林和橡胶林土壤水源涵养功能分别减少27.7%、54.3%和11.5%,不同土层的差异各异,橡胶林仅表层土壤水源涵养功能显著降低.植被郁闭度、土壤有机质和土壤容重可解释土壤水源涵养功能变量的83.3%.土地利用转变显著改变了土壤持水性能和土壤水源涵养功能,相比12年槟榔林,35年橡胶林能更好地保持土壤水分,土地管理中增加土壤有机质和减少土壤紧实度可改善土壤持水性能及水源涵养功能.     

Monitoring of changes in physical and microbiological properties of a Chernozem amended with different organic substrates

A soil microcosm study was made to monitor changes in soil physical and microbiological properties of a Chernozem during a period of up to 126 or 252 days following the addition of whey, straw or vegetable oil. In the whey treatment soil maximum water-holding capacity (MWHC) had decreased after seven and 28 days of incubation. At both dates, the differences to the untreated control were significant. Straw was able to increase MWHC of soil during incubation and after 42 and 126 days values differed significantly from those of the control. Compared with the control, whey, oil and straw treatments had higher meanweight diameter of dry aggregates. The differences were significant after seven, 28 and 126 days with whey, after 42, 126 and 252 days with oil, and after 126 days with straw. The sensitivity of dry aggregates to abrasion (SAA), representing a negative index of dry aggregate stability, was lower in the whey treatment than in the control after three and seven days incubation. In the later phase of incubation, whey tended to increase SAA. A trend to increase SAA also was observed with straw and after 126 days a significantly higher SAA for the straw than for the oil treatment was determined. This trend still was to observe after 252 days incubation. An increase in SAA observed for the oil treatment after 42 days was followed by a decrease till the end of incubation. Aggregates of organic treatments were more resistant to the dispersive effect of water than those of the control. Microbial biomass-C contents were high in the whey treatment, ranging between 1931 and 754 g g^–1 soil dry mass during incubation. With whey, fungal contributions to biomass-C increased from 40.5% after three to 76.5% after 126 days incubation. Addition of straw or oil stimulated biomass synthesis less than whey. High fungal contributions to biomass-C, approx. 70%, were sustained by straw during incubation. With oil, fungal contributions were 20.5% after three, 76% after 42 and less than 20% after 126 and 252 days incubation. Fungal contributions to biomass-C correlated positively with SAA. High sensitivity of the fungal biomass to mechanical stress is discussed as a cause for the low dry aggregate stability of soils amended with organic substrates encouraging fungal biomass development.     

Stereoselective degradation of fungicide benalaxyl in soils and cucumber plants

The enantioselective degradation of benalaxyl has been investigated to elucidate its behavior in several agricultural soils and plants (cucumber). Racemic benalaxyl was fortified into five types of agricultural soils and sprayed leaves of cucumber plants, respectively. The degradation kinetics and the enantiomer fraction (EF) were determined by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection (DAD) on the chiral column filled cellulose-tri-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate)-based chiral stationary phase (CDMPC-CSP). The process of the degradation of benalaxyl enantiomers followed pseudo-first-order kinetics in cucumber plant. However, the dissipation phases of benalaxyl enantiomers in soils were biphasic ("slow-fast-slow" process). It has been shown that the degradation of benalaxyl was stereoselective. The results indicated that the (+)-S-benalaxyl showed a faster degradation in plants, while the (-)-R-benalaxyl showed a faster degradation in Soils 3, 4, and 5. No stereoselective degradation was observed in other soils.

高寒草甸退化对祁连山土壤微生物生物量和氮矿化速率的影响

为深入了解高寒草甸退化对草原生态系统中土壤微生物碳氮量、土壤氮矿化及土壤微生物相关酶的变化特征,以祁连山东缘4个不同退化程度(未退化、轻度退化、中度退化和极度退化)的高寒草甸为研究对象,采集了深度为0—10 cm的土壤样品,并对不同退化程度高寒草甸中植物因子、土壤理化性质、土壤氨化速率、土壤硝化速率、土壤净氮矿化速率以及转化氮素的相关酶和微生物进行了相关研究。结果表明:(1)随退化程度的加剧,高寒草甸土壤中氨化速率和净氮矿化速率逐渐降低,硝化速率逐渐升高;(2)高寒草甸的退化降低了有关氮素转化相关酶,如土壤蛋白酶、脲酶、亮氨酸氨基肽酶的活性,而β-乙酰葡糖胺糖苷酶的活性呈先下降后上升趋势,且在极度退化草地活性最高;(3)随退化程度的加剧,高寒草甸土壤中微生物生物量碳和氮的含量逐渐降低,同时土壤基础呼吸、土壤微生物熵和代谢熵的指数也呈下降趋势。RDA分析表明,高寒草甸中氨化速率和净氮矿化速率与微生物生物量碳、微生物生物量氮、土壤基础呼吸、植物高度、植被盖度、地上生物量、蛋白酶、脲酶以及亮氨酸氨基肽酶呈显著正相关,而硝化速率则表现为负相关性。因此,高寒草甸退化对土壤微生物特性以及氮素转化和...
