Fine root distribution, quantities, dynamics and composition were studied in a sessile oak coppice stand in the French Ardennes
on an acidic soil (< pH-H2O 4.5), one to five years after lime or gypsum applications. Fine root biomass and length increased
and specific root length decreased after lime or gypsum treatments. The treatment responses were strongest four to five years
after the applications, but the tendencies after one year were similar. The effects were pronounced in the top 15 cm but also
at 30–45 cm four to five years after liming. The latter effect suggests an indirect positive feedback from the aerial parts
of the trees into the deeper soil layers. Sequential sampling for two years revealed large differences in total fine root
length between the years, and also indicated that fine root turnover was lower after liming or gypsum applications than in
the control. This seemed to be related to a lower fine root mortality and higher longevity rather than to increased fine root
production. The improved nutrient status of the fine roots corroborates this and coincides with improved foliar nutrition
and tree growth. Moderate doses of lime and gypsum appeared effective in enhancing root system uptake function, resulting
in increased above ground growth. 相似文献

Abstract Preliminary observations on the ecology of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) seedlings.—The responses of sessile oak seedlings to four different light intensities and to increasing drought (three soil moisture contents) have been investigated in a nursery experiment in order to improve the knowledge of the ecology of this species in the Mediterranean area. Data have been compared with observations on natural regeneration established in different shade and soil moisture conditions in a sessile oak stand. The results of the two experiments showed that low light intensities (transmittance <5%) did not limit the seedlings establishment but induced lowest growth rates, while in full daylight seedlings mortality was very high (61%). In accordance with the observations in natural conditions, seedlings showed the best performances at intermediate light levels (50–80% of full daylight) and with increasing soil moisture: mortality was very low and average height increment, dry weight, relative growth rate (RGR) and net assimilation rate (NAR) showed the highest values. The differences in specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area ratio (LAR), root/stem ratio enabled to discuss the sessile oak seedlings ecology and adaptations to different light intensities and soil moisture content. 相似文献

Soil acidification can be detrimental to root growth and nutrient uptake, and liming may alleviate such acidification. In
the following study, seedlings of sessile oak (Quercus petraea Liebl. M.) were grown in rhizotrons and subjected to liming
(L) or gypsum (G) treatments and compared with the control (C). In order to study and interpret the impact of these calcium
rich treatments on fine root development and tree growth, the following parameters were assessed: fine root biomass, fine
root length, seedling development (height, diameter, leaves), seedling biomass, nutrient content of roots and seedlings, bulk
soil and soil solution chemistry and rhizosphere soil chemistry. The results show that liming increased bulk soil pH, exchangeable
Mg, Ca and the Ca/Al molar ratio, and decreased exchangeable Al, mainly in the A-horizon. Gypsum had a similar but smaller
impact on exchangeable Al, Ca, H+ and the Ca/Al molar ratio in the A-horizon, but reacted with depth, so that exchangeable Mn, Mg and Ca were increased in
the B-horizon. In the rhizosphere, the general pattern was determined by the treatment effects of the bulk soil. Most elements
were more concentrated in the rhizosphere than in bulk soil, except for Ca which was less concentrated after liming or gypsum
application. In the B-horizon rhizosphere pH was increased by the treatments (L > G,C) close to the root tips. Furthermore,
the length of the zone with a positive root-induced pH increase was greater for the limed roots as compared with both the
other treatments. Fine root growth was stimulated by liming (L > G,C) both in terms of biomass and length, whereas specific
root length was not obviously affected apart from the indication of some stimulation after liming at the beginning. The live:dead
ratio of fine roots was significantly higher in the limed rhizotrons as compared to the control (G not assessed), indicating
lower mortality (higher longevity). Shoot growth showed greater lime-induced stimulation (L > G,C) as compared to root growth.
As a result the shoot:root ratio was higher in the limed rhizotrons than in the control (L > G,C). Liming induced a higher
allocation of P, S, Mg, Ca and K to the leaves, stem and twigs. Gypsum showed similar effects, but was only significant for
S. Liming increased the foliar Ca/Al ratio by both increasing foliar Ca and decreasing foliar Al, whereas gypsum did not clearly
improve foliar nutrition. This study suggests that a moderate application of lime can be successful in stimulating seedling
growth, but that gypsum had no effect on seedling growth. It can be concluded that this lime-induced growth stimulation is
directly related to the improved soil fertility status, and the alleviation of Al toxicity and acid stress, resulting in better
foliar nutrition. The impact of liming on fine roots, as a consequence, was not limited to a stimulation of the total amount
of fine roots, but also improved the root uptake performance.

Summary A field experiment was conducted to compare the efficacy of application of different fractions of gypsum requirement (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%) for reclaiming alkali lands for rice cultivation. The experiment was initiated in the year 1971 and the effect of treatments was observed for three consecutive years (upto 1973) in terms of rice growth and yield and also the chemical characteristics of the soil. Economics of rice production was also worked out for different treatments.Results obtained revealed that a fairly good crop of rice with a small profit margin could be raised in the first year itself, by applying 20% of the gypsum requirement. Higher levels of gypsum proved economical only during subsequent years. Application of gypsum beyond 80% of the requirement was of no avail. Soil pH declined in all the treatments with its magnitude dilating with increased gypsum application. Electrical conductivity was also brought down with rice cultivation, irrespective of the quantum of gypsum. 相似文献

Quercus robur L. (pedunculate oak) and Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. (sessile oak) are two European oak species of great economic and ecological importance. Even though both oaks have wide ecological amplitudes of suitable growing conditions, forests dominated by oaks often fail to regenerate naturally. The regeneration performance of both oak species is assumed to be subject to a variety of variables that interact with one another in complex ways. The novel approach of this research was to study the effect of many ecological variables on the regeneration performance of both oak species together and identify key variables and interactions for different development stages of the oak regeneration on a large scale in the field. For this purpose, overstory and regeneration inventories were conducted in oak dominated forests throughout southern Germany and paired with data on browsing, soil, and light availability. The study was able to verify the assumption that the occurrence of oak regeneration depends on a set of variables and their interactions. Specifically, combinations of site and stand specific variables such as light availability, soil pH and iron content on the one hand, and basal area and species composition of the overstory on the other hand. Also browsing pressure was related to oak abundance. The results also show that the importance of variables and their combinations differs among the development stages of the regeneration. Light availability becomes more important during later development stages, whereas the number of oaks in the overstory is important during early development stages. We conclude that successful natural oak regeneration is more likely to be achieved on sites with lower fertility and requires constantly controlling overstory density. Initially sufficient mature oaks in the overstory should be ensured. In later stages, overstory density should be reduced continuously to meet the increasing light demand of oak seedlings and saplings. 相似文献

Consequences of liming and gypsum top-dressing on nitrogen and carbon dynamics in acid forest soils with different humus forms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The aim of this study was to understand the effects of lime and gypsum on nitrogen and carbon turnover of the soil. A pot experiment was conducted in parallel with a field experiment which was set up in 1989 in a declining forest of the French Ardennes. A dystric cambisol, associated with a moder and mull humus separately, was used to study changes in the soil chemistry as a result of added lime and gypsum top-dressing.The lime was applied to the surface of an acid mull humus of an oak (Quercus petraea) stand and of a moder humus of a spruce (Picea abies) stand. A quantity of 2.8 t ha-1 equivalent CaO was supplied as CaCO3, CaCO3+MgO and CaSO4.2H2O. The experiment was installed in an open-air nursery for 20 months, during which the organic carbon and nitrogen in the solution were analysed monthly. They were analysed in the solid phase after 20 months. At the end of this period the changes in the soil and leachate depended mainly on the type of the material added.The leachate was enriched with nitrogen from the third month of the experiment under lime treatments and in the control. The same pattern was found under the two humus types but the magnitude was higher in soil with a mull humus. The nitrogen was mostly leached as NO3
--N in the carbonate treatments and in the control, whereas it was predominantly NH4
+-N under gypsum. The NO3
--N was 50% higher than NH4
+-N in the control and CaCO3, CaCO3+MgO treatments. In the CaSO4 treatment this phenomenon was reversed. The leaching of organic carbon was greater under gypsum than under the other treatments whatever the humus.In the solid phase of the soil (organic layers) the organic carbon and nitrogen concentration decreased significantly after liming, especially in the mull humus. Consequently it induced a decrease in C:N ratio of about 18% with respect to the control. 相似文献

A field experiment was conducted on an Ultisol in Malaysia to assess changes in soil solution composition and their effects
on maize and groundnut yields, resulting from limestone and gypsum application. The results showed that soil solution Ca in
the lime treatment remained mainly in the zone of incorporation, but in the gypsum treatment some Ca moved into 15–30 cm zone.
Al3+ and AlSO4
+ were dominant Al species in the soil solution of nil treatment. Liming decreased Al3+ and AlSO4
+, but increased hydroxy-Al monomer activities. However, gypsum application resulted in an increase of AlSO4
+ activity and in a decrease of Al3+ activity.
Relative maize and groundnut yields were negatively correlated with Al3+, Al(OH)2+ and Alsum activities. Likewise, relative yields were negatively correlated with Al concentration and the Al concentration ratio and
positively correlated with soil solution Mg concentration and Ca/Al ratio. 相似文献

Soil solution and solid phase analyses were compared for stubble standing and stubble burnt systems on an acid, acidified and limed Alfisol in north-eastern Victoria. Exchangeable (1 M KCl) aluminium (Al), soil solution total and monomeric Al, pH (water) and soil solution pH were measured to identify any differences in soil acidification between the stubble burnt and the stubble standing treatments. All measures of Al increased with soil depth down to 10 cm in all stubble treatments and decreased in the 10–20 cm soil depth with the exception of lime treatments. Concentrations of low molecular weight organic acids in the soil solution were determined by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Aromatic and aliphatic acids were distributed throughout the soil depth (0–20 cm) for the stubble standing treatments but were confined to the 0–5 cm soil depth for the stubble burnt treatment. In this short term field trial (2 years for stubble management), the data suggest that the conventional practice of stubble burning was more acidifying than the soil conservation practice of stubble standing, over the 0–20 cm soil depth for the lime (6 t ha-1) treatments. 相似文献

An experiment to study the effects of Mg nutrition on root and shoot development of the Al-sensitive sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotype CV323 grown in pots of sandy loam under different acid soil stress is reported. This experiment had
a factorial design: four rates of liming were combined with four rates of Mg fertilization. When no Mg was added, the pH of
the soil solutions (collected in ceramic cups) increased from 4.0 (unlimed) to 4.2, 4.7 and 5.9 at the increasing rates of
liming. After 30 days of growth dry matter yields of the limed treatments were 40%, 115% and 199% higher than that of the
unlimed treatment. Without liming and at the highest liming rate, adding Mg did not affect plant biomass significantly. At
the two intermediate levels of liming, however, 11.3 mg extra Mg per kg soil increased dry matter yield to the same levels
as found at the highest liming rate. Concentrations of Mg in the soil solution rose after Mg was added and fell when lime
was added, but adding both Mg and lime increased Mg concentrations in the plant shoots. In plants of the limed treatments,
dry matter yield was correlated closely with the Mg concentration in the shoot. This was not so in the unlimed treatment.
Furthermore, in the unlimed treatments root development was inhibited, but reduced Mg uptake by the plants resulted mainly
from the direct effect of Al- (or H-) ions in the soil solution rather than from impaired root development. It is concluded
that Mg fertilization counteracted the interfering effects of Al- and H ions on Mg uptake. 相似文献

Water status and gas exchange of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and sessile oak [Quercus petraea (Mattuschka) Liebl.] were studied in a mixed stand in the Montejo de la Sierra forest (central Iberian Peninsula), one of
the southernmost locations of both species in Europe. Gas exchange and water potential were measured in leaves at different
canopy levels over several days in two growing seasons. The daily variation pattern was established with the measurements
of three selected dates per year, representative of the soil moisture content situations in early, mid- and late summer. A
similar daily time course of leaf water potential was found for the two species. Nevertheless, beech showed a most noticeable
decrease of water potential at midmorning and maintained lower leaf water potential than oak in the early afternoon. In 1994
the sessile oak saplings showed higher values of predawn water potential (Ψpd) than beech at the end of summer, when soil moisture content was lowest (20 cm depth). Beech showed a significantly lower
net assimilation rate (A) than sessile oak for leaves under the same PPFD. Maximum net photosynthesis values (A
max) for beech and sessile oak on sunny leaves were 10.1±0.4 μmol m–2 s–1 and 17.8±1.7 μmol m–2 s–1 respectively, and those for water vapour stomatal conductance (g
wv) were 265±31 mmol m–2 s–1 and 438±74 mmol m–2 s–1. Differences in A and g
wv between the two species were maintained throughout the day on all measurement dates. No clear relationship was found between
water status of saplings and stomata performance; there was only a negative correlation between Ψpd and g
wvmid in beech. Nevertheless, a significant response to the air vapour pressure gradient between leaf and air was translated into
stomata closure on an hourly basis, more intensively in beech.

Trees play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and ecosystem fertility, notably through rhizosphere processes. The aim of this study was to compare soil physicochemical properties between bulk soil and rhizosphere of several tree species, and to compare rhizosphere properties between fertilized and non-fertilized conditions. The soil sampling was performed in Breuil-Chenue forest (North-East of France) in seven stands: native forest (old beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and oak (Quercus sessiliflora Smith) coppice with standards; CwS), beech, oak (Quercus petraea [Matt.] Liebl.), Douglas-fir and fertilised Douglas-fir, Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.) and fertilised Norway spruce. Systematic soil sampling was performed at 0–3, 3–10, and 10–23 cm in 20 calibrated pits. The rhizosphere of the different species was generally enriched in C, N, Ca, Mg, and K. Interestingly, the same positive effect was observed in the fertilised plots. The rhizosphere effect varied between tree species for C, “base” cations, pHwater and cation exchange capacity. This study reveals that interactions between roots, microorganisms and soil can enrich the pool of nutrients in the rhizosphere compared to bulk soil whatever the soil fertility conditions, and that the magnitude of the rhizosphere effect depends on tree species. 相似文献

Summary Branch growth and leaf formation from terminal and from lateral buds of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) and red oak (Quercus rubra L.) were measured in response to simulated insect defoliation. A single large branch representative of the crown of each tree was used for enumeration of growth and of bud numbers throughout three successive years of 0, 50, 75, and 100% leaf removal for the entire tree. Leaf number per tree for both species after the last year of defoliation was reduced in direct proportion to the severity of defoliation, in comparison to the predefoliation status of the trees. Bud number per tree for red maple, but not for red oak, was also reduced in proportion to severity of defoliation.Averaged over all defoliation treatments, defoliation reduced branch growth more than leaf production. Furthermore, the reduction in branch growth and leaf production was greater in red oak than in red maple. Three years of successive defoliation reduced the mean lateral plus terminal branch growth by 40% in red oak and by 23% in red maple, while leaf number was reduced 22% in red oak and remained unchanged in red maple. In red maple, 100% defoliation caused greater branch death than the 50 or 75% defoliation treatments, and the amount of death was greater after each successive year of defoliation. In contrast to red maple, undefoliated red oak incurred a substantial amount of branch death throughout the study which was little affected by defoliation treatment. 相似文献

Summary In order to study the reasons for poor peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) performance on an Avalon medium sandy loam, a three year field study was undertaken to investigate the effects of lime
and gypsum applications on growth, yield and quality. Rates of up to 2,400 kg agricultural lime/ha/annum significantly increased
soil pH (1N KCl) and exch. Ca and decreased levels of exch. Al and Al saturation in the soil (0–150 mm). The effect of the same rates
of gypsum was much less marked, only exch. Ca increasing and Al saturation decreasing to any substantial extent. In the absence
of lime (i.e. even where gypsum was applied). nodulation was poor and the plants developed a general chlorosisc. 90 days after planting. Liming markedly improved nodulation whereas annual applications of gypsum had the opposite effect.
Liming significantly increased the hay, pod and kernel yields by up to 73, 105 and 117%, respectively. On average, gypsum
applications had no significant effects. Liming increased shelling percentage, the percentage mature pods, 100-kernel mass
and protein concentration in the kernel, and decreased the incidence of pops and kernels with black plumule. Applications
of gypsum had little effect on quality except for a decreased incidence of black plumule. It appeared that the improved crop
performance with liming resulted from a reduction in Al toxicity which improved nodulation. Calcium deficiency did not appear
to be a major cause of poor peanut growth and quality in the unameliorated soil. 相似文献

Summary The availability of Ca from different levels of gypsum and calcium carbonate in a non-saline sodic soil has been investigated. Different levels of tagged gypsum (Ca45SO4.2H2O) and calcium carbonate (Ca45CO3) (i.e. 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 per cent of gypsum requirement) were mixed thoroughly in 3.5 Kg of a non-saline alkali soil (ESP, 48.4; ECe, 2.68 millimhos/cm). Dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) — a legume and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) — a cereal were taken as test crops. Increasing levels of gypsum caused a gradual increase in the yield of dry matter, content of Ca and K in the plant tops and Ca:Na and (Ca+Mg):(Na+K) ratios in both the crops. Application of calcium carbonate caused a slight increase in the dry matter yield, content of Ca and Mg and Ca:Na and (Ca+Mg):(Na+K) ratios in barley, however, in case of dhaincha there was no such effect. Gypsum application caused a gradual decrease in the content of Na and P in both the crops. Total uptake of Ca, Mg, K, N and P per pot increased in response to gypsum application. The effect of calcium carbonate application on the total uptake of these elements was much smaller on dhaincha, but in barley there was some increasing trend.Increasing application of tagged gypsum and calcium carbonate caused a gradual increase in the concentration and per cent contribution of source Ca in both the crops, although, the rate of increase was considerably more in dhaincha. The availability of Ca from applied gypsum was considerably more than that from applied calcium carbonate. Efficiency of dhaincha to utilize Ca from applied sources was considerably more (i.e. about five times) than that of barley 相似文献

This study describes the soil solution chemistry in the rhizosphere of fine roots of sessile oak ( Quercus petraea (M.) Liebl.)
grown in rhizotrons. A control was compared with soils treated with an equivalent CaCO3 of 1.4 t ha-1 CaO. Solution samples were extracted from the B-horizon using micro suction cups with a suction of ∼40 kPa. Two series of experiments were carried out: one irrigated with rain water (age of seedling 2 to 4 months) and one
irrigated with demineralized water (age of seedlings 1.5 to 2 months). Half of the sampling points were choosen close to the
roots and half in the bulk soil. In both experiments there was generally no rhizospheric gradient after liming. In contrast,
in the control, depletion in the rhizosphere occurred for most of the ions studied (Mg, Ca, Al, K, NO3
-, NH4
+, Cl-) in the demineralized water experiment, but this was different when rainwater was used. The latter effect is probably due
to the higher solution concentrations in the rainwater experiment but could also be a result of root damage due to low Ca/Al
ratios in the rhizosphere solution. It was concluded, that liming improved the chemical composition in the rhizosphere soil
solution by increasing overall solute concentration to levels enabling sufficient and easier nutrient uptake by roots.

Post-Planting Treatments Increase Growth of Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana Dougl. ex Hook.) Seedlings 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The extent of Oregon white oak woodland and savanna ecosystems in the U.S. Pacific Northwest has diminished significantly during the past century due to land use changes and fire suppression. Planting Oregon white oak seedlings is often necessary when restoring these plant communities. Our objective was to determine the efficacy of post‐planting treatments for establishing Oregon white oak seedlings on sites characterized by low growing season precipitation and coarse‐textured soils. We evaluated the effects of control of competing vegetation, tree shelters, fertilization, irrigation, and planting date on growth of planted seedlings. Survival was generally high (90%), but growth rate varied substantially among treatments. Plastic mulch increased soil water content and increased annual seedling height growth by an average of 56% relative to one‐time manual removal of competing vegetation. Solid‐walled tree shelters reduced browse damage and increased mean annual height growth compared to mesh shelters and no shelter by averages of 7.5 and 10.9 cm, respectively. Controlled‐release fertilizer applied at planting did not consistently increase seedling growth. Weekly irrigation (3.8 L/seedling) increased first‐year seedling growth only where mulch also was applied. Seedlings planted by late February had greater root growth by summer than those planted in early April. Soil water management was necessary for best seedling growth, and the improved height growth in solid‐walled tree shelters allowed the terminal shoot to grow more quickly above the height of animal browse. Our results indicate effective methods for establishing Oregon white oak seedlings, but these results may also be applicable to establishment of other tree species on similarly droughty sites. 相似文献

A greenhouse experiment, growing maize for six weeks, was conducted to evaluate the ameliorative role of Zn (0 and 10 ppm Zn) under saline (ECe4, 8 and 12 mmhos/cm), Sodic (ESP 10, 20 and 30) and saline-sodic (all possible combinations of above salinity and sodicity levels), and normal soil conditions using a sandy loam (Typic Ustochrepts) soil sample.Zinc ameliorated plant growth under salt-affected soil conditions. Ameliorative effect was more under sodic than under saline or saline-sodic soil conditions. Shoot yield decreased with Salinity level of 12 mmhos/cm, and ESP 30 and adverse effects were accentuated with increasing level of ESP and Salinity, respectively.Shoot Zn increased with applied Zn. Increasing sodicity in soil under Zn deficient or low salinity conditions generally decreased shoot Zn, whereas the low level of soil salinization counteracted the adverse effect of high sodicity. Shoot Na increased but K decreased with increasing sodicity and salinity in soil. Shoot Na decreased but K increased with applied Zn. Shoot Ca increased with salinity levels of 4 and 8 mmhos/cm, but decreased with 12 mmhos/cm at 0 Zn level. Sodicity decreased shoot Ca, whereas Zn counteracted adverse effect of high sodicity. Shoot Mg generally increased with increasing salinity, but decreased with increasing sodicity. Zinc had no definite effect. Shoot Ca/Na and K/Na ratios were widened with Zn and narrowed down with high ESP.The effects of salinity, sodicity, and Zn on plant growth and its composition were generally associated with their respective roles in dry matter production, and inter-ionic relationships among Ca, Mg, K, Na and Zn in soils and plants.Contribution from the Department of Soils, Haryana Agricultural University, Hissar, 125004, Indiaformer Research Fellow, respectively. 相似文献

Malaysian Ultisols and Oxisols are characterized by low pH, high soil solution Al concentration and Ca and/or Mg deficiencies,
which are limiting to corn growth. An experiment was conducted to determine the changes in solid and soil solution phase properties
of a representative Ultisol and Oxisol following applications of ground magnesium limestone (GML), gypsum and their combinations,
and their effects on corn growth. A plot of pAl against lime potential (pH-1/2 pCa) showed that the points were mostly positioned
between the theoretical lines for kaolinite-quartz and gibbsite equilibrium, reflecting the kaolinitic-oxidic mineralogy of
the Ultisol and Oxisol. Gypsum application increased Al concentration in the soil solutions of the Ultisol, but had no significant
effect on that of the Oxisol. The increase in Al concentration in the Ultisol was due to an increase in ionic strength. Gypsum
application increased soil solution pH of the Oxisol due to release of OH as a result of ligand exchange between SO4 and OH ions on the oxides of Fe and/or Al. Exchangeable Al in both soils was reduced by gypsum application. The reduction
was associated with solid phase immobilization through alunite formation; the soil solutions of soil samples treated with
2 and 4 t gypsum ha−1 were supersaturated with respect to alunite. Application of GML at 2 t ha−1 together with 1–2t gypsum ha−1 gave high top weight of corn. Relative top weight of corn was positively correlated with a soil solution Mg and Ca/Al concentration
ratio, but negatively correlated with soil solution Al concentration. Foliar Al corn was positively correlated with soil solution
Al concentration. Soil solution Al and Mg concentrations, and Ca/Al concentration ratio can be used as indices of soil acidity
in Ultisols and Oxisols. ei]{gnB E}{fnClothier} 相似文献

The impact of pH and calcium on the uptake of fluoride by tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) accumulate large amounts of fluoride (F) from soils containing normal F concentrations. The present experiments examined the effects of pH and Ca on F uptake by this accumulating plant species. METHODS: The effect of pH was assessed in two experiments, one using uptake solutions with different pHs, and the other using lime, as CaO, applied to the soil. The effect of Ca was examined by analysing F concentrations in plants supplied with varying amounts of Ca, as Ca(NO3)2, either in uptake solutions or through the soil. KEY RESULTS: F uptake was highest at solution pH 5.5, and significantly lower at pH 4.0. In the soil experiment, leaf F decreased linearly with the amounts of lime, which raised the soil pH progressively from 4.32 to 4.91, 5.43, 5.89 and, finally, 6.55. Liming increased the water-soluble F content of the soil. Including Ca in the uptake solution or adding Ca to soil significantly decreased leaf F concentrations. The distribution pattern of F in tea plants was not altered by Ca treatment, with most F being allocated to leaves. The activity of F- in the uptake solution was unaffected and water-soluble F in the soil was sometimes increased by added Ca. CONCLUSIONS: F uptake by tea plants, which are inherently able to accumulate large quantities of F, was affected both by pH and by Ca levels in the medium. The reduced F uptake following Ca application appeared not to be due simply to the precipitation of CaF2 in solution and soil or to the complexing of Ca and F in roots, although these factors cannot be dismissed. It was more likely due to the effect of Ca on the properties of cell wall or membrane permeability in the solution experiments, and to alteration of F speciations and their quantities in soil solutions following Ca application. 相似文献

Nonoilseed sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is naturally higher in cadmium (Cd) than many other grain crops. Because raising soil pH usually depresses Cd uptake by most species, a study was designed to determine if application of agricultural limestone to neutralize soil acidity would decrease Cd uptake by sunflower plants grown on different soils in the production area of North Dakota. The field experiments were conducted at 3 locations in 1991 and 2 locations in 1992. At each site, limestone was applied to bring soil pH to 6.5–7.0, or an additional 45 Mg ha-1 more limestone was applied, and these two treatments were compared to no-lime control. Commercial nonoilseed hybrid 954 was planted in these experiments. The rapid short-term lime-soil reaction occurred in first 12 weeks following limestone application. Mean kernel Cd concentration for each treatment varied from 0.35 to 1.45 mg kg-1 DW in the first year of the experiments, and from 0.37 to 1.23 mg kg-1 DW in the experiments of 1992 across all locations. Large variations in kernel Cd levels between locations were obtained. There were no significant differences among control and limestone treatments for kernel Cd, seedling leaf Cd and diagnostic leaf Cd within each location, respectively. In regression analysis, we found that kernel Cd level correlated with diagnostic leaf Cd concentration in each treatment, but poor correlations were obtained among other variables. These results indicated that limestone application did not reduce Cd uptake and transfer to kernels of sunflower, in contrast with most species studied. 相似文献
