川西高山森林林窗对季节性冻融期土壤氮动态的影响

为了解高山森林林窗对土壤氮动态的影响,于2012—2013年在川西高山冷杉原始林大、中、小林窗以及林下采集了4个关键时期(初冻期、深冻期、初融期和融化末期)的土样,测定其铵态氮、硝态氮、微生物生物量氮和可溶性有机氮含量。结果表明:各林窗内土壤铵态氮、硝态氮含量在融化末期显著高于其他3个关键时期;土壤微生物生物量氮在初融期最低,土壤可溶性有机氮含量在深冻期最低,而这两者含量在初冻期均最高;土壤硝态氮含量占土壤矿质氮总量的67.26%~83.59%;冬季林窗通过改变土壤微环境进而引起氮素组分的改变,林窗大小与可溶性有机氮含量呈显著正相关;土壤温度与铵态氮、硝态氮及可溶性有机氮含量呈显著正相关;冻结深度与硝态氮和可溶性有机氮呈显著负相关。经过季节性冻融期,小林窗和林下土壤具有更高的矿质氮和可溶性有机氮,为生长季内植被与土壤微生物奠定了良好的生长条件。     

植被不同退化状态下尕海湿地土壤氮含量及酶活性特征

土壤中氮素的吸收、转化及含量的变化是影响植被生长的关键因素。为探讨湿地植被不同退化状态对土壤氮组分含量和相关酶活性的影响,以及土壤氮组分含量与相关酶活性之间的关系,以甘南尕海湿地不同植被退化状态样地（未退化CK、轻度退化SD、中度退化MD和重度退化HD）为研究对象,采用野外采样与室内实验相结合的方法,分析了植被不同退化状态下不同形态氮组分（全氮、铵态氮、硝态氮和微生物量氮）含量的变化特征,以及土壤氮转化酶（蛋白酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和亚硝酸还原酶）活性之间的相关关系。结果表明：（1）在植被退化状态下,土壤含水量逐渐减小,土壤温度呈先减小后增大的趋势;（2）随着植被退化程度的加剧,硝态氮含量呈增加趋势,而全氮、铵态氮和微生物量氮含量均随退化程度加剧呈减小趋势;土壤蛋白酶活性随退化程度的加剧而减小,脲酶活性呈先减小后增大的趋势,重度退化活性最高,轻度退化最低;硝酸还原酶活性随退化程度的加剧而增加,亚硝酸还原酶活性表现为"升-降-升"的变化趋势,即轻度退化活性最高,未退化和中度退化较低;（3）土壤蛋白酶活性与全氮、铵态氮和微生物量氮呈极显著正相关关系（P < 0.01）,与硝态氮含量呈显著负相关关系（P < 0.05）;硝酸还原酶活性与蛋白酶活性恰好相反;脲酶活性与微生物量氮含量呈极显著正相关关系（P < 0.01）,与全氮含量呈显著正相关关系（P < 0.05）;亚硝酸还原酶活性与全氮和铵态氮含量呈极显著正相关关系（P < 0.01）,与硝态氮含量呈显著负相关关系（P < 0.05）。综上,在尕海湿地植被退化条件下,土壤氮组分含量增加可以有效提高相关酶活性。

长江上游马尾松人工林采伐林窗对土壤磷含量的初期影响

研究了长江上游低山丘陵区人为采伐形成的马尾松(Pinus massoniana)人工林7种不同大小林窗(G1:100 m2、G2:225 m2、G3:400 m2、G4:625 m2、G5:900 m2、G6:1225 m2、G7:1600 m2)土壤微生物生物量磷(MBP)、有效磷(AP)及土壤全磷(TP)在一个生长季的变化。结果显示:林窗形成初期,林窗内土壤MBP对采伐干扰的响应十分敏感,AP次之,TP较为稳定。林窗大小对马尾松人工林土壤MBP、AP有显著影响,对TP影响不显著。土壤MBP在面积为625~900 m2林窗的中央较高;900~1600 m2林窗的中央及225~625 m2林窗的边缘AP较高;TP仅625 m2林窗的中央较高。MBP、AP在生长季不同时期有显著变化,TP变化较小。总体上,各林窗中央及小于625 m2林窗边缘MBP在初期相对较低,大于625 m2林窗的边缘为初期高中期低;林窗中央的AP为中期高初期低,边缘初期相对较低。另外,林窗大小与季节变化的交互作用显著影响了土壤MBP。林窗内不同位置MBP、AP和TP并没有显著变化,但与林下相比,各林窗土壤AP及TP在生长季中期和末期增高,而MBP仅较大的林窗在生长季中期较低,说明林窗形成后土壤磷含量有一定提高。相关分析结果表明,MBP与TP呈极显著正相关,MBP与土壤温度呈显著负相关,MBP、TP与土壤含水量呈极显著正相关。可见,土壤温度和含水量是林窗形成初期影响土壤磷含量的重要环境因子。

川南天然常绿阔叶林人工更新后土壤氮库与微生物的季节变化

对川南天然常绿阔叶林及其人工更新成檫木林、柳杉林和水杉林后土壤不同形态氮素含量、微生物数量和脲酶活性进行研究,并探讨了它们之间的相互关系。结果表明：土壤全氮、微生物量氮、铵态氮和硝态氮含量、细菌、真菌和放线菌数量及脲酶活性,各林分均为秋季＞春季＞冬季＞夏季,各季节均为天然常绿阔叶林＞檫木林＞水杉林＞柳杉林。这说明天然常绿阔叶林人工更新后土壤不同形态氮素含量、微生物数量和脲酶活性下降,土壤保肥和供肥能力降低,而各人工林下降程度不同。土壤不同形态氮素含量与微生物数量和脲酶活性之间呈显著正相关,说明微生物数量及脲酶活性的变化能够表征土壤氮素含量变化。研究结果为保护天然常绿阔叶林、选择适宜的更新树种和天然常绿阔叶林人工更新后林地土壤的科学管理提供依据,也为退耕还林中树种的选择提供参考。     

深松与包膜尿素对玉米田土壤氮素转化及利用的影响

耕作方式和氮肥施用是影响土壤中氮肥转化、利用效率和作物产量的重要因素。通过夏玉米田的2a(2011—2012)定位试验,研究了两种耕作方式(深松、旋耕)配合不同尿素类型(包膜尿素、普通尿素)的施用对玉米田土壤硝态氮和铵态氮含量、脲酶活性、硝化细菌和反硝化细菌数量、玉米产量以及氮肥农学效率的影响。研究结果表明:相同耕作方式下,包膜尿素处理土壤中脲酶活性较稳定,且增加了旱田土壤亚硝酸细菌数量而降低了反硝化细菌数量,有利于土壤硝态氮含量的提高,尤其是作物生长的中后期;包膜尿素处理的产量比普通尿素提高7.25%—10.82%,同时提高氮肥农学效率。深松处理增加了土壤中的反硝化细菌数量,配合施用包膜尿素进一步提高了土壤脲酶活性,增加了亚硝酸细菌数量;旋耕与包膜尿素配合施用在一段时期内能显著增加土壤硝态氮含量,减少反硝化细菌数量。深松配合包膜尿素处理能够显著的增加玉米产量,2a分别比旋耕配合包膜尿素增加1.41%和10.62%。因此,深松措施配合施用包膜尿素能够增强土壤脲酶活性,增加亚硝酸细菌数量,提高氮素转化速率,增加作物产量和氮肥农学效率,其稳产效果在干旱年份尤为显著。

Total soil nitrogen and nitrogen mineralization

Summary The mineralization capacity of 24 different soils was determined from incubation experiments. Relatively rapid mineralization and nitrification was found with soils from cultivated land, and pastures, but soils under natural vegetative covers of conifers and hardwoods were mostly ammonifying. A close relationship could be established between the total nitrogen content of the soil and the amount of mineral nitrogen formed during incubation. Important connections could also be shown between the available nitrogen contents at different times during the incubation period; these suggest that the incubation period can be considerably shortened.     

Uptake of fertilizer nitrogen and soil nitrogen by rice using15N-labelled nitrogen fertilizer

Data from five field experiments using labelled nitrogen fertilizer were used to determine the relative effects of soil nitrogen and fertilizer nitrogen on rice yield. Yield of grain was closely correlated with total aboveground nitrogen uptake (soil+fertilizer), less closely correlated with soil nitrogen uptake and not significantly correlated with fertilizer nitrogen uptake. When yield increase rather than yield was correlated with fertilizer nitrogen uptake, the correlation coefficient was statistically significant.Contribution from the Laboratory for Flooded Soils and Sediments, Agronomy Dept., Louisiana Agri.

The effect of nitrogen fertilization on the release of soil nitrogen

Summary The effect of fertilizer nitrogen on the available amount of soil nitrogen was investigated in a greenhouse experiment. To 9 different soils, 0, 50, 100 and 200 kg N/ha were applied, resp., as (N¹⁵H₄)₂SO₄ with an atom excess N-15 of 1%.No priming effect could be found for any of the treatments. The available amount of soil N, expressed as A_N value, was not affected by rate of N-fertilizer application.     

Root-induced nitrogen mineralisation: A nitrogen balance model

The possibility is examined that carbon (C) released into the soil from a root could enhance the availability of nitrogen (N) to plants by stimulating microbial activity. Two models are described, both of which assume that C released from roots is used by bacteria to mineralise and immobilise soil organic N and that immobilised N released when bacteria are grazed by bacterial-feeding nematodes or protozoa is taken up by the plant. The first model simulates the individual transformations of C and N and indicates that root-induced N mineralisation could supply only up to 10% of the plant's requirement, even if unrealistically ideal conditions are assumed. The other model is based on evidence that about 40% of immobilised N is subsequently taken up by the plant. A small net gain of N by the plant is shown (i.e. the plant takes up more N than it loses through exudation), although with exudate of up to C:N 33:1 less than 6% of the plant's requirement is supplied by root-induced N mineralisation. It is argued, however, that rhizosphere bacteria do not use plant-derived C to mineralise soil organic N to any great extent and that in reality root-induced N mineralisation is even less important than these models indicate.     

On the importance of quantifying bioavailable nitrogen instead of total nitrogen

Monitored and modeled data provided the basis for the establishment of two nitrogen (N) budgets covering the Kattegat-Belt Sea area in the period 2000–2009: one for total nitrogen (TN) and one for bioavailable nitrogen (N_bio). Our results show a significant difference between the two budgets, and we argue that N_bio is more important than TN for our understanding of the sources causing marine eutrophication. Consequently, an optimal strategy for abatement of eutrophication aims at minimizing N_bio rather than TN. The TN budget shows that advection from the adjacent seas is the dominant source of N to the Kattegat-Belt Sea area. The loadings from land and atmosphere only account for 14 and 9 % of the TN loadings, respectively. However, when the bioavailability of the different N sources is taken into account, the supply from land and atmosphere becomes relatively more important, now accounting for 21 and 16 %, respectively (37 % in total). The ecological relevance of land and atmosphere loadings is most likely even larger since a fraction of the input from the Skagerrak is exported again before it can support primary production. Water action plans have reduced the direct loadings of TN from land and atmosphere by about 35 % since the 1980s. The contributions from land and atmosphere accounted for 47 % of the N_bio loadings in the 1980s. Hence, loadings from land and atmosphere have only decreased by 10 % points since the 1980s: from 47 to 37 %. The largest sink of TN in the study areas is advection to the adjacent seas (71 %) whereas denitrification and burial only accounts for 17 and 11 %, respectively.     

Prediction of nitrogen responses of corn by soil nitrogen mineralization indicators

Soil nitrogen mineralization potential (N min) has to be spatially quantified to enable farmers to vary N fertilizer rates, optimize crop yields, and minimize N transfer from soils to the environment. The study objectives were to assess the spatial variability in soil N min potential based on clay and organic matter (OM) contents and the impact of grouping soils using these criteria on corn grain (Zea mays L.) yield, N uptake response curves to N fertilizer, and soil residual N. Four indicators were used: OM content and three equations involving OM and clay content. The study was conducted on a 15-ha field near Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In the spring 2000, soil samples (n = 150) were collected on a 30- x 30-m grid and six rates of N fertilizer (0 to 250 kg N ha(-1)) were applied. Kriged maps of particle size showed areas of clay, clay loam, and fine sandy loam soils. The N min indicators were spatially structured but soil nitrate (NO3-) was not. The N fertilizer rate to reach maximum grain yield (N max), as estimated by a quadratic model, varied among textural classes and Nmin indicators, and ranged from 159 to 250 kg N ha(-1). The proportion of variability (R2) and the standard error of the estimate (SE) varied among textural groups and N min indicators. The R2 ranged from 0.53 to 0.91 and the SE from 0.13 to 1.62. Corn grain N uptake was significantly affected by N fertilizer and the pattern of response differed with soil texture. For the 50 kg N ha(-1) rate, the apparent N min potential (ANM) was significantly larger in the clay loam (122 kg ha(-1)) than in the fine sandy loam (80 kg ha(-1)) or clay (64 kg ha(-1)) soils. The fall soil residual N was not affected by N fertlizer inputs. Textural classes can be used to predict N max. The N min indicators may also assist the variable rate N fertilizer inputs for corn production.

添加氮素对沙质草地土壤氮素有效性的影响

通过氮素添加(20g.m-2.a-1)试验,研究了科尔沁沙地东南部沙质草地生态系统土壤氮矿化及有效氮的季节变化。对2006年生长季的观测发现,添加氮素显著提高了沙质草地生长季土壤铵态氮、硝态氮、矿质氮的含量以及9月1日至10月15日的净氮矿化速率与硝化速率;添加氮素导致土壤有效氮的季节变异增大,净氮矿化(1.29～11.60mg.kg-1.30d-1)与硝化(-4.15～11.20mg.kg-1.30d-1)速率随时间呈上升趋势,铵态氮含量逐渐降低,硝态氮与矿质氮(6.49～20.66mg.kg-1)含量的变化呈"V"型,最小值出现在生物量生长高峰期的7月中旬。该沙质草地土壤氮的有效性较低,施氮肥可明显提高土壤供氮能力。
