秸秆及秸秆黑炭对小麦养分吸收及棕壤酶活性的影响

通过小麦盆栽试验,研究了玉米秸秆及其秸秆黑炭施加对小麦养分吸收利用和棕壤酶活性的影响。试验设对照(CK),黑炭(B),秸秆还田(S),尿素(U),尿素+黑炭(UB)及尿素+秸秆还田(US)6个处理,各处理3次重复。结果表明:无氮肥施入下,B处理较CK和S处理籽粒产量显著提高99.4%和77.7%,小麦地上部氮、磷、钾吸收累积量分别显著提高94.1%—140.9%,55.4%—66.3%和53.1%—72.6%;有氮肥施入下,UB和US处理较U处理提高籽粒产量8.2%—8.8%,小麦地上部氮、磷、钾吸收累积量分别显著提高14.3%—27.8%,19.6%—30.9%和24.4%—40.9%。秸秆及秸秆黑炭施加处理的氮素利用率显著提高21.4%—41.7%。黑炭施加显著提高土壤中有机碳、NH+4-N、NO-3-N和速效钾含量;在施氮条件下,秸秆还田显著提高土壤中NO-3-N含量;秸秆及黑炭施加对有效磷含量无显著影响。秸秆还田显著提高了土壤脱氢酶、过氧化氢酶、脲酶和中性磷酸酶活性;施加黑炭也明显提高了土壤脱氢酶和脲酶活性,但抑制过氧化氢酶和中性磷酸酶活性。土壤脲酶活性与土壤有机碳、无机氮含量呈显著正相关,表明土壤酶可反映土壤肥力水平。     

秸秆还田配施化肥对土壤肥力及鲜食甘薯产量和品质的影响

通过2017和2018两年的田间试验研究了小麦秸秆还田和施肥对土壤肥力、酶活性以及鲜食甘薯产量和品质的影响。试验设5个处理:秸秆不还田+常规施肥(CK)、小麦秸秆半量还田+常规施肥(50%S)、小麦秸秆全量还田+不施肥(100%S-F)、小麦秸秆全量还田+常规施肥(100%S)、小麦秸秆全量还田+常规施肥+150 kg·hm^-2氮肥(100%S+N)。结果表明:秸秆还田施肥处理显著提高了土壤中的有效磷、碱解氮、总氮和有机质含量,显著提高了土壤过氧化氢酶、碱性磷酸酶、脲酶和蔗糖酶活性。秸秆还田施肥处理均显著提高了薯块产量、单薯鲜重和商品薯率,其中50%S处理下薯块产量最低。2年的秸秆还田处理下,薯块产量和商品薯率均在100%S处理下最高。2年的秸秆还田施肥处理总体上提高了甘薯的淀粉和蛋白质含量,但100%S和100%S+N处理均降低了甘薯还原糖和可溶性糖含量。可见,小麦秸秆全量还田的效果优于半量还田,与常规施肥配合下薯块产量和商品薯率最高,但影响食用口感,实际生产中可适当减少氮肥用量。     

稳定性氮肥配合秸秆还田对水稻产量及N2O和CH4排放的影响

长期施肥条件下黄土高原黑垆土作物产量与土壤碳氮的关系

通过设置在黄土高原黑垆土区的长期定位试验系统,研究了长期施肥条件下作物产量与土壤碳氮的互馈关系.试验设不施肥(CK)、单施氮肥(N)、氮磷配施(NP)、秸秆与氮磷配施(SNP)、施有机肥(M)和有机肥与氮磷配施(MNP)6个处理.结果表明: 与对照相比,长期平衡施用化肥、单施有机肥、化肥与有机肥配合施用和秸秆还田配施化肥显著增加了作物产量及其稳定性, NP、SNP、M、MNP处理玉米和小麦产量分别增加92%、97%、93%、141%和147%、164%、139%、214%.NP处理玉米和小麦年均产量与当地常规施肥作物产量相当且稳定,小麦-玉米轮作体系施肥量为N 90 kg·hm^-2、P₂O₅ 75 kg·hm^-2能够满足作物需要.秸秆还田与隔年施磷相配合的SNP处理与NP处理作物产量相似,且可减少磷肥施用量50%.平衡施用化肥、有机肥、化肥与有机肥配施和秸秆还田配施化肥均可显著增加土壤有机碳含量,而施用化肥对土壤全氮含量影响不明显,综合所有处理,土壤有机碳和全氮含量呈显著正相关.不同处理土壤有机碳固存率在15%～41%.SNP处理土壤有机碳累积投入量增加1 t·hm^-2,土壤有机碳含量增加0.06 g·kg^-1,而CK、N、NP、M和MNP处理的增幅在0.12～0.15 g·kg^-1.玉米和小麦产量都与土壤全氮含量呈显著正相关,玉米产量随土壤有机碳含量的增加而增加,但小麦产量随土壤有机碳含量的增加先快速增加后趋于平稳,拐点出现在6.8 g·kg^-1.长期平衡施用化肥、有机肥、有机肥与化肥配合施用及秸秆还田配施化肥可显著增加黄土高原黑垆土土壤有机碳和全氮含量、作物产量和根茬还田量,根茬还田量的增加又进一步增加了土壤有机碳和全氮含量,形成了相互促进的互馈关系.     

不同耕作方式对石灰性褐土磷脂脂肪酸及酶活性的影响

为探索不同耕作方式下土壤理化性状和微生物活性的变化,研究了秸秆还田下旋耕(RT)、深松(ST)、深翻(CT)和秸秆不还田旋耕(CK)4种耕作方式对石灰性褐土磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)特性及水解酶活性的影响.结果表明:不同耕作处理的水解酶活性、养分含量及微生物群落多样性有较大差异;秸秆还田增加了PLFA的种类、总PLFA含量及细菌、放线菌PLFA含量,但降低了土壤真菌PLFA含量,说明真菌较细菌更能适应贫瘠的环境.深松和深翻处理的PLFA总量均高于旋耕和CK处理,两处理分别较CK处理高74.7%和53.3%,表明深松和深翻更有利于作物生长.深松和深翻还可改善土壤理化性状、提高土壤碱性磷酸酶、蛋白酶和脲酶活性,为作物高产稳产提供了有利的土壤条件.     

秸秆还田与全膜双垄集雨沟播耦合对半干旱黄土高原玉米产量和土壤有机碳库的影响

全膜双垄集雨沟播是我国旱作农业上的一项创新技术。该技术因集覆膜垄面集雨沟播、覆盖抑蒸和增加土壤温度为一体,在半干旱黄土高原地区玉米种植中增产效果突出而被大面积推广。但是目前该技术连续使用下土壤肥力的可持续性及其调控途径不清楚。通过将田间实验与土壤有机碳的物理分组技术相结合,研究全膜双垄集雨沟播对土壤有机碳库的影响,来评估将秸秆还田纳入全膜双垄集雨沟播玉米种植体系的可行性。实验地点位于甘肃省榆中县小康营乡(35°54’N,104°05’E;海拔2013 m;多年平均降雨量388 mm)。实验在垄沟种植方式的基础上设置秸秆不还田不覆膜(对照,CK)、秸秆还田(S)、地膜覆盖(M)和秸秆还田+地膜覆盖(S+M)4个处理,重复3次。实验于2009年3月开始2010年10月结束。除了对玉米籽粒产量进行测定之外,分别于每年的播种和收获时对表层15 cm土壤总有机碳、颗粒有机碳(粒径2—0.05 mm)和轻组有机碳(密度<1.8 g/cm3)含量进行了测定。同时在玉米不同生育时期对表层15 cm土壤微生物量碳、"-葡萄糖苷酶活性、碱性磷酸酶活性和脲酶活性动态进行了测定。研究结果表明,与CK处理相比M和S+M处理分别增加玉米产量89%-105%和93%-136%,但是S处理对玉米产量没有影响。综合2a的测定结果,与CK相比较S、M和S+M处理对土壤总有机碳含量没有影响,但是M处理具有降低土壤颗粒有机碳和轻组有机碳含量的趋势,而S或者S+M处理具有明显的增加土壤颗粒有机碳和轻组有机碳含量的趋势。与M处理相比较,S+M处理增加土壤颗粒有机碳和轻组有机碳含量的效果比与CK处理相比较的效果更明显。与CK相比较,S、M和S+M处理都能够不同程度地增加土壤微生物量碳和"-葡萄糖苷酶、碱性磷酸酶和脲酶的活性,尤其以S+M处理的增加效果更明显。相关分析结果显示,不同处理土壤中3种酶活性与微生物量碳含量均呈极显著正相关关系。研究结果说明全膜双垄集雨沟播可以显著增加玉米产量,但是连续使用可能对土壤有机碳库有不利影响;而纳入秸秆还田对于全膜双垄集雨沟播技术引用下土壤有机碳库和微生物活性的维持或者提高具有积极作用。     

耕作方式与秸秆还田对土壤微生物数量、酶活性及作物产量的影响

通过两年田间裂区设计试验,研究了不同土壤耕作方式(常规耕作、深耕、深松)与秸秆还田(秸秆还田、秸秆不还田)对冬小麦一夏玉米一年两熟农田土壤微生物数量、酶活性和作物产量的影响.结果表明:深松(耕)和秸秆还田不仅降低了土壤容重,提高了土壤有机碳含量,而且增加了土壤微生物数量、土壤酶活性和作物产量,且二者对夏玉米季的影响大于冬小麦季.与常规耕作+无秸秆还田相比,深耕+秸秆还田、深松+秸秆还田处理的20～30 cm土壤容重分别降低8.5％和6.6％,土壤有机碳含量分别提高14.8％和12.4％,土壤微生物数量、土壤酶活性分别提高45.9％、33.9％和34.1％、25.2％,作物产量分别提高18.0％和19.3％,且两处理间无显著差异.说明土壤深松(耕)结合秸秆还田有利于作物产量、土壤微生物数量和酶活性的提高.     

秸秆还田结合氮肥减施对玉米产量和土壤性质的影响

农业生物质还田同时结合减少化肥施用量的措施能有效改善土壤质量。基于东北黑土的特殊性和重要性,本研究在中国科学院保护性耕作研发基地(吉林省)设置秸秆还田方式与氮肥水平相结合的裂区试验,综合分析作物产量、土壤((0～20 cm))理化性质与生物学性质,探讨秸秆还田基础上减少氮肥施用量的可行性。主区包括6个处理:秸秆移除(CK)、全量秸秆覆盖免耕(NT)、全量秸秆粉碎直接还田(SD)、全量秸秆腐解还田(SC)、全量秸秆炭化还田(BC)和9/10秸秆+1/10腐熟物组合还田(SDC)。副区包括3个氮肥水平处理:当地常规氮磷钾化学肥料(N100)、氮肥减量20%(N80,还田秸秆氮含量接近氮肥20%)和氮肥减量40%(N60)。试验处理1年后的结果表明,秸秆还田方式与氮水平处理对玉米生物量、玉米产量、耕层土壤(0～20 cm)理化性质(pH值、有机碳SOC、全氮TN、全磷TP)和酶活性(脱氢酶、α-葡糖苷酶、β-葡糖苷酶、N-乙酰氨基葡糖苷酶、酸性磷酸单酯酶和碱性磷酸单酯酶)均表现出明显的交互作用,秸秆处理具有显著的主效应(P 0.05),氮肥水平对所测指标均没有显著影响。化肥单独施用时,氮肥减量处理降低玉米生物量和产量,对土壤pH值、SOC、TN和N-乙酰氨基葡糖苷酶和碱性磷酸酶活性影响不显著,提高TP含量,增强脱氢酶、β-葡糖苷酶和酸性磷酸酶活性。秸秆还田配合常规化肥施用(N100)对土壤pH值、SOC、TN和TP(P0.05)均有一定幅度提升趋势,对脱氢酶、α-葡糖苷酶、β-葡糖苷酶和酸性磷酸单酯酶活性有一定增强作用,仅有少数处理未达到差异显著。相同秸秆还田条件下,氮肥减量施用(N80,N60)对玉米生物量和产量没有负影响,对土壤pH值、SOC、TN和TP(P0.05)均有一定幅度提升趋势,NT结合氮肥减量处理均提升β-葡糖苷酶和酸性磷酸酶活性,SC结合氮肥减量处理显著提升β-葡糖苷酶、酸性磷酸酶和碱性磷酸酶活性,SDC结合氮肥减量处理显著增强β-葡糖苷酶和碱性磷酸酶活性。因此,短期秸秆还田结合减氮处理在稳产同时减弱土壤酸化程度,且保持SOC、TN和TP含量不降低,对土壤养分库容、元素供应及其转化都有一定的改良效应。

Trajectories of change: riparian vegetation and soil conditions following livestock removal and replanting

Riparian zones provide critically important ecological functions, including the interception of nutrients and sediments before they enter waterways. Consequently, riparian zones, and the vegetation they support, are often considered as an important ‘final buffer’ between waterways and adjacent land. In agricultural ecosystems, riparian zones are therefore increasingly recognized as an important component of strategies aimed at minimizing the flow of nutrients and sediments into waterways. Accordingly, riparian zones are increasingly afforded protection and are targeted for restoration. Here we present results of a study in which we aimed to identify patterns of change in soil and vegetation properties in riparian zones, under different management regimes, adjacent to tributary streams in one of south‐eastern Australia's main agricultural regions. We compared riparia that were heavily impacted by agricultural activities, were in remnant condition or had undergone some restoration activities and were thus in a transitional state. There was an increase in plant cover and soil C concentration between impacted through to remnant sites, with transitional sites intermediate, suggesting that improvements in soil conditions were becoming evident following restoration activities. In our assessment of soil physicochemical properties we investigated the relationships between riparian condition and soil properties, taking into account the influence of adjacent land use on these relationships. Importantly, the concentrations of NO₃^‐ and plant available P in riparian surface soils were more or less influenced by concentrations in the adjacent land depending upon riparian condition. This will, in turn, have consequences for nutrient inputs into streams. This study emphasizes that riparian zones need to be managed within their wider landscape context. Furthermore, the results of this study will inform efforts seeking to minimize impacts of agricultural activities on waterways, through the conservation and/or restoration of riparian ecosystems.     

土壤微生物资源管理、应用技术与学科展望

土壤中蕴藏着高度的微生物多样性,在陆地生态系统中发挥着非常重要的功能,加强对土壤微生物资源的综合管理与开发应用是提升生态系统稳定性与生产力及农产品质量的重要途径。首先,土壤微生物多样性具有全球性的重大意义,有待完善对土壤微生物的检测与监测技术研究,进而实现土壤微生物多样性与土壤功能的耦合以及对土壤质量的评定;其次,土壤微生物作为一种宝贵的生产资料和可持续资源,要加强其在土壤肥力强化与保育、土壤障碍消减与调节、土壤污染控制与修复等3个领域的应用研究。最后,未来土壤微生物学发展将会形成土壤微生物系统学、土壤微生物过程学与土壤微生物功能学3个子学科,要建立土壤微生物种质资源库与遗传信息库,推进土壤微生物生理代谢过程、生物化学过程及生态行为过程的研究,联结土壤微生物与土壤功能的关系,并从土壤中的功能微生物出发对环境变化作出积极响应和主动调控。此外,原创性方法的建立与应用是限制土壤微生物学发展的技术瓶颈,联合生物地理学与生物信息学破译重要基因的特定生态功能,并将其应用到生态模型以及生态系统未知领域的研究中去,是土壤微生物学面临的挑战。     

不同地表覆盖方式对苹果园土壤性状及果树生长和产量的影响

以黄土高原9年生红富士果园生态系统为对象,研究不同地表覆盖模式（清耕、生草覆盖、地膜覆盖、秸秆覆盖和砂石覆盖）对果园土壤性状及果树生长和产量的影响.结果表明：生草覆盖土壤水分剖面分异最低,砂石覆盖土壤水分剖面分异最高;砂石覆盖提高了根层水分含量,有利于果树对水分的利用.不同地表覆盖模式土壤热量状况变化显著,处理间差异明显,极端最高温度下降,但地膜覆盖处理夏季地温超过果树根系生长的上限温度,对果树根系生长和生理功能发挥不利.除地膜覆盖外,其他地表覆盖模式均能提高土壤CO₂释放速率,其中生草覆盖的效果最为显著.不同地表覆盖模式对果树枝条类型比例及产量影响较大,砂石覆盖处理的中短枝比例和果实产量最高;生草覆盖处理的果实产量最低.因子分析结果表明,对于黄土高原沟壑区盛果期果园,砂石覆盖处理是较为适宜的地表覆盖模式.

Concept,Components, and Strategies of Soil Health in Agroecosystems

The terms ''''soil health'''' or ''''soil quality'''' as applied to agroecosystems refer to the ability of soil to support and sustain crop growth while maintaining environmental quality. High-quality soils have the following characteristics: (i) a sufficient, but not excess, supply of nutrients; (ii) good structure (tilth); (iii) sufficient depth for rooting and drainage; (iv) good internal drainage; (v) low populations of plant disease and parasitic organisms; (vi) high populations of organisms that promote plant growth; (vii) low weed pressure; (viii) no chemicals that might harm the plant; (ix) resistance to being degraded; and (x) resilience following an episode of degradation. Management intended to improve soil health involves creatively combining a number of practices that enhance the soil''s biological, chemical, and physical suitability for crop production. The most important general strategy is to add plentiful quantities of organic matter—including crop and cover crop residues, manures, and composts. Other important strategies include better crop rotations, reducing tillage and keeping the soil surface covered with living and dead residue, reducing compaction by decreasing heavy equipment traffic, and using best nutrient management practices. Practices that enhance soil quality frequently reduce plant pest pressures.     

Soil and total ecosystem respiration in agricultural fields: effect of soil and crop type

A study was made of the effect of soil and crop type on the soil and total ecosystem respiration rates in agricultural soils in southern Finland. The main interest was to compare the soil respiration rates in peat and two different mineral soils growing barley, grass and potato. Respiration measurements were conducted during the growing season with (1) a closed-dynamic ecosystem respiration chamber, in which combined plant and soil respiration was measured and (2) a closed-dynamic soil respiration chamber which measured only the soil and root-derived respiration. A semi-empirical model including separate functions for the soil and plant respiration components was used for the total ecosystem respiration (TER), and the resulting soil respiration parameters for different soil and crop types were compared. Both methods showed that the soil respiration in the peat soil was 2–3 times as high as that in the mineral soils, varying from 0.11 to 0.36 mg (CO₂) m^–2 s^–1 in the peat soil and from 0.02 to 0.17 mg (CO₂) m^–2 s^–1 in the mineral soils. The difference between the soil types was mainly attributed to the soil organic C content, which in the uppermost 20 cm of the peat soil was 24 kg m^–2, being about 4 times as high as that in the mineral soils. Depending on the measurement method, the soil respiration in the sandy soil was slightly higher than or similar to that in the clay soil. In each soil type, the soil respiration was highest on the grass plots. Higher soil respiration parameter values (R_s0, describing the soil respiration at a soil temperature of 10°C, and obtained by modelling) were found on the barley than on the potato plots. The difference was explained by the different cultivation history of the plots, as the potato plots had lain fallow during the preceding summer. The total ecosystem respiration followed the seasonal evolution in the leaf area and measured photosynthetic flux rates. The 2–3-fold peat soil respiration term as compared to mineral soil indicates that the cultivated peat soil ecosystem is a strong net CO₂ source.     

Soil Erosion Impact on Agronomic Productivity and Environment Quality

Soil erosion is a global issue because of its severe adverse economic and environmental impacts. Economic impacts on productivity may be due to direct effects on crops/plants on-site and off-site, and environmental consequences are primarily off-site due either to pollution of natural waters or adverse effects on air quality due to dust and emissions of radiatively active gases. Off-site economic effects of erosion are related to the damage to civil structure, siltation of water ways and reservoirs, and additional costs involved in water treatment. There are numerous reports regarding the on-site effects of erosion on productivity. However, a vast majority of these are from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe, and only a few from soils of the tropics and subtropics. On-site effects of erosion on agronomic productivity are assessed with a wide range of methods, which can be broadly grouped into three categories: agronomic/soil quality evaluation, economic assessment, and knowledge surveys. Agronomic methods involve greenhouse and field experiments to assess erosion-induced changes in soil quality in relation to productivity. A widely used technique is to establish field plots on the same soil series but with different severity of past erosion. Different erosional phases must be located on the same landscape position. Impact of past erosion on productivity can also be assessed by relating plant growth to the depth of a root-restrictive horizon. Impact of current erosion rate on productivity can be assessed using field runoff plots or paired watersheds, and that of future erosion using topsoil removal and addition technique. Economic evaluation of the on-site impact involves assessment of the losses of plant available water and nutrients and other additional inputs needed due to erosion. Knowledge surveys are conducted as a qualitative substitute for locations where quantitative data are not available. Results obtained from these different techniques are not comparable, and there is a need to standardize the methods and develop scaling procedures to extrapolate the data from plot or soil level to regional and global scale. There is also a need to assess on-site impact of erosion in relation to soil loss tolerance, soil life, soil resilience or ease of restoration, and soil management options for sustainable use of soil and water resources. Restoration of degraded soils is a high global priority. If about 1.5×10⁹?ha of soils in the world prone to erosion can be managed to effectively control soil erosion, it would improve air and water quality, sequester C in the pedosphere at the rate of about 1.5?Pg/year, and increase food production. The risks of global annual loss of food production due to accelerated erosion may be as high as 190×10⁶?Mg of cereals, 6×10⁶?Mg of soybeans, 3×10⁶?Mg of pulses, and 73×10⁶?Mg of roots and tubers. The actual loss may depend on weather conditions during the growing season, farming systems, soil management, and soil ameliorative input used. Erosion-caused losses of food production are most severe in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and elsewhere in the tropics rather than in other regions.     

不饱和土壤CH4的吸收与氧化

不饱和土壤是已知唯一的 CH4 生物壑。综述了不饱和土壤 CH4 的吸收、氧化过程及其影响因素。不饱和土壤中 CH4 氧化的临界浓度低 ,因而甲烷氧化菌可氧化大气 CH4 并将其当作唯一的碳源和能源。土壤 CH4 吸收率与土壤湿度通常呈负相关关系。土壤湿度过高 ,大气 CH4 和 O2 向土壤中扩散受阻 ;或土壤湿度过低引起水分胁迫均导致甲烷氧化菌活性下降。NH 4对土壤中 CH4 氧化的抑制作用可归结为 NH3和 CH4 在甲烷单氧酶水平上的竞争、由氧化作用向硝化作用的转移以及 NH 4氧化生成的 NO- 2 的毒性。NH 4对 CH4 氧化的抑制作用与土壤有效氮含量成正比。各类氮肥对 CH4 氧化抑制作用 :化肥 >有机肥 ;铵态氮肥 >尿素。 NO- 3对 CH4 氧化没有抑制效应。阳离子代换量 (CEC)高的土壤 NH 4对 CH4 氧化的抑制作用轻。 CH4 氧化菌对大气 CH4 的高亲和力及 CH4 氧化所需较低的活化能导致其温度系数 Q1 0 较小。地温较低时 ,土壤氧化 CH4 的能力随温度升高而升高。当地温高于 CH4 氧化的最佳温度时 ,CH4 氧化菌难以与硝化细菌及其它微生物竞争利用土壤空气中的 O2 ,导致其活性降低。甲烷氧化菌对 p H值变化不敏感。团粒结构较好的壤土可保护 CH4 氧化菌免受干扰。未受干扰的森林土壤 CH4 氧化率的峰值一般出现在亚表     

落叶松林土壤溶液吸光度与土壤碳、氮含量的相关性

通过4个土壤深度100个样品14个波长(250、254、260、265、272、280、285、300、340、350、365、400、436和465 nm)土壤溶液吸光度值和土壤碳(可溶性碳DOC、全碳SOC)、土壤氮(可溶性氮DON、全氮SON)的测定,旨在探讨土壤溶液吸光度指示土壤碳氮指标的可行性及土壤深度对其可能影响。结论如下:(1)表层土壤和深层土壤吸光度值均随波长增加而指数下降,但表层土壤吸光度值较高,下降速度较快,较低波长更有利于区分表层和深层土壤溶液吸光度差异;和深层土壤相比,表层0～20 cm土壤SOC、DON和SON与不同波长吸光度有更好的相关性,但DOC与不同波长吸光度的相关性表层和深层差异较小;(2)250～300 nm的8个吸光度值具有高度相关性,它们在分析土壤溶液吸光度变化时具有等效性;基于所有数据的拟合分析发现,低波长(如254 nm)吸光度与土壤SOC、DON和SON相关性最高(R2=0.53～0.59),而更高波长(340 nm及以上)相关性明显降低。但DOC与254、340、365和400 nm吸光度相关性相差不大(R2=0.25～0.33)。这些发现说明,土壤溶液吸光度值,特别是低波长(250～300 nm)可以表征落叶松林土壤碳、氮相关指标的变化,但是需要考虑不同碳氮指标以及不同土层之间的差异。

晋西北丘陵区受干旱大风气候以及人为活动的影响,土壤肥力较低,土壤质量退化严重,不同的土地利用和管理方式,因植被覆被、人为活动等不同,对土壤质量产生影响不同。为了更好地了解晋西北地区不同土地管理方式对土壤质量的影响,于山西省北部忻州市五寨县,研究不同管理方式对土壤肥力、土壤酶活性、微生物群落结构及多样性的影响,以及微生物与土壤环境因子的关系,为晋西北地区土地管理和生态建设提供参考。研究中设置4种土地管理方式:苜蓿样地(MX)、免耕样地(MG)、翻耕样地(FG)和荒地(HD),采用野外采集土壤样品、室内测定和分析的研究方法,其中土壤pH值利用电位法测定,土壤有机碳(OC)采用重铬酸钾氧化-分光光度法测定;土壤硝态氮、铵态氮利用全自动间断化学分析仪测定,其原理为紫外分光光度和靛酚蓝比色法。土壤过氧化氢酶、蔗糖酶、脲酶和磷酸酶活性分别采用KMnO_4滴定法、3,5-二硝基水杨酸法、苯酚钠-次氯酸钠比色法、磷酸苯二钠比色法测定,采用高通量测序测定土壤细菌和真菌的群落组成,利用统计分析软件SPSS和Canoco以及QIIME、USEARCH和Uclust生物信息软件分析不同土地管理方式对土壤质量的影响。结果表明,不同土地管理方式对土壤化学性质、土壤酶活性、细菌和真菌的群落结构及多样性均有影响。苜蓿和免耕2种土地管理方式可显著提高表层土壤养分并增加土壤酶活性;4种土地管理方式共有9个细菌门和11个真菌门,细菌相对丰度较大的为变形菌门、放线菌门和酸杆菌门,真菌的子囊菌门相对丰度最大;苜蓿和免耕样地土壤细菌和真菌群落丰富度和多样性都较高,荒地土壤细菌和真菌群落丰富度较低,但多样性较高;RDA分析结果表明,土壤pH、NH~+_4-N和NO~-_3-N含量和过氧化氢酶活性对细菌群落影响较大,pH、有机碳含量、蔗糖酶、脲酶和过氧化氢酶活性对真菌群落影响最大。苜蓿和免耕2种土地管理方式能够提高土壤质量,是晋西北地区较为适宜的管理措施。
