引进种桉树人工林取代天然次生林对土壤微生物群落结构和功能的影响

由于桉树对原生生态系统具有潜在的破坏性影响,随着桉树人工林面积的不断扩大,桉树种植对森林生态系统的影响越来越受到社会的关注。围绕引进种桉树造林对土壤微生物群落的影响,应用成对试验设计,采用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)和BIOLOG微平板培养等技术手段探讨土壤微生物群落结构和功能如何响应桉树人工林取代天然次生林这一变化,主要结果为:桉树人工林取代天然次生林导致:(1)土壤微生物生物量减少,包括:生物量碳、氮和磷脂脂肪酸丰度显著下降;(2)反映土壤微生物群落生理胁迫状况的指标:饱和直链脂肪酸/单不饱和脂肪酸、革兰氏阳性菌/革兰氏阴性菌、支链异构/反异构脂肪酸以及cy19:0/18:1ω7c的比值显著增加;(3)土壤微生物群落碳代谢强度和多样性显著降低;(4)桉树人工林取代天然次生林导致土壤微生物群落结构变化和功能退化的主要环境因素包括:植物物种丰富度和覆盖度的降低以及土壤资源(碳、氮和水分)可获得性的降低。综上所述,引进种桉树人工林取代天然次生林降低了植物物种丰富度和覆盖度以及土壤资源的可获得性,进而显著增强了土壤微生物群落生理胁迫、显著降低了土壤微生物群落功能。     

镜泊湖岩溶台地不同植被类型土壤微生物群落特征

为了探讨不同演替阶段植被类型土壤微生物群落特征,分别选取镜泊湖岩溶台地草本、矮灌木、高灌木、小乔木与灌木混生(简称混生)群落、落叶阔叶林及针阔混交林6种典型植被类型,进行植物群落调查和对土壤微生物生物量、群落结构和多样性指标、土壤物理化学性质的测定。结果表明：从土壤微生物量、土壤微生物群落组成、土壤微生物代谢动力学过程和代谢功能多样性的角度来看,各种植被类型土壤微生物群落具有明显的差异。演替前期的草本群落土壤微生物量碳氮、细菌生物量、真菌生物量,代谢活性及丰富度指数均最低,但Shannon-Wiener多样性指数和均匀度指数显著(P<0.05)高于其他植被类型。矮灌木土壤微生物群落组成显著受植被类型的影响。高灌木群落和混生(小乔木与灌木混生)群落具有极强的相似性, 但在碳源利用类型上两者表现出一定的差异。落叶阔叶林代谢活性最高,碳源利用能力最强,能利用BIOLOG微孔板中的所有31种碳源,这与其具有较高的微生物量碳氮和细菌生物量一致,其代谢功能丰富度最高。演替后期的针阔混交林下的土壤pH最低,真菌比例升高,在碳源丰富的条件下具有极强的竞争优势(仅次于落叶阔叶林),但在碳源贫瘠的条件下其利用碳源能力较弱(仅高于草本)。植被可能主要通过土壤全磷和有机质影响土壤微生物代谢功能多样性。     

退化人工林不同恢复类型对土壤微生物群落功能多样性的影响

为了评价华南退化人工林生态系统的不同恢复类型,本研究以土壤微生物群落功能多样性为对象,探讨恢复林土壤微生物功能多样性的差异及影响因子.在研究区内选取代表性的近自然经营杉木林(CF)和毛竹林(MB),以天然次生林(NF)为对照,采集表层土壤样品.运用Biolog-Eco微平板技术,对3种林分的土壤微生物群落功能多样性进行研究.结果表明: 不同恢复林分的植物多样性差异显著,NF植物多样性指数显著高于MB和CF,而MB的植物多样性指数显著高于CF;不同林分类型的土壤pH和容重差异显著,其他土壤理化性质差异不显著;不同林分类型土壤微生物的平均颜色变化率(AWCD)为NF＞MB＞CF,不同林分对6种类型碳源底物的利用也有相似规律;NF的土壤微生物群落Shannon多样性指数、Shannon丰富度指数、Simpson优势度指数和McIntosh指数最高,MB次之,CF最低;主成分分析表明,从31种碳源类型提取的主成分1和主成分2分别能解释变量方差的60.0%和12.4%,在主成分分异中起主要贡献作用的是羧酸类、碳水化合物类和氨基酸类碳源;相关性分析表明,植物物种丰富度和多样性指数、土壤容重与土壤微生物群落多样性指数之间存在显著相关关系,对土壤微生物群落功能多样性具有重要影响.NF土壤微生物的碳源利用效率高于人工林,而MB土壤微生物碳源利用效率高于CF.从植被多样性及土壤微生物群落功能多样性来看,近自然经营的MB人工林更有利于退化人工林生态系统功能的恢复与提升.     

黄土丘陵沟壑区不同植被类型土壤微生物特性

采用熏蒸-提取法、Biolog微平板培养法,研究了定西典型人工乔木林、人工灌木林、农田、撂荒地、天然草地等植被类型下0～20cm土层土壤微生物生物量和土壤微生物群落代谢多样性,并通过通径分析的方法解释了土壤微生物与土壤养分的关系,从土壤微生物的角度对当地典型植被类型做出了评价.结果表明:相对于耕作而言,退耕还林(草)对恢复土壤微生物资源具有积极意义;研究区垄坡荒地、撂荒地和油松林的土壤微生物生物量碳较高,其次为柠条林、苜蓿地、侧柏-山杏和道沿荒地,以小麦和马铃薯农田较低;研究区垄坡荒地、撂荒地、油松林、柠条林和苜蓿地的土壤微生物生物量氮较高,小麦和马铃薯农田较低;具有根瘤固氮菌的植被(柠条和苜蓿)的土壤微生物生物量氮占全氮的比例最高;农田由于长期生物量损耗且补充不足,其土壤微生物的储量和活性均很低,而通过种植人工乔木林、灌木林或弃耕撂荒,土壤微生物数量和活性能恢复到天然草地的水平,且效果随恢复年限的增加而更显著;柠条灌木林通过20a的恢复,其地下微生物数量与50a林龄的油松林相近,其微生物活性和土壤养分利用效率甚至超过了油松林.综合考虑不同立地条件下植被的土壤微生物特性,认为豆科灌木(如柠条)是恢复植被的较好选择.     

中国亚热带典型天然次生林土壤微生物碳源代谢功能影响因素

天然次生林地比人工林地不仅土壤肥力较高,且土壤碳代谢功能更强。然而维持天然次生林高碳代谢功能的原因尚不十分清楚。分析天然次生林中土壤微生物碳源代谢功能的影响因素对于调控土壤微生物的功能乃至天然次生林的保护具有重要意义。本文选择中国亚热带地区典型天然次生林,研究了土壤微生物碳源代谢功能与土壤化学和物理因素及植物因素的关系。结果表明,3类因素能显著解释土壤微生物碳源代谢功能54.4% 的变异。乔木层植物多样性、土壤碳氮比、pH值和含水量是导致天然次生林碳代谢功能差异的主要因素,分别显著解释了土壤微生物碳源代谢16.7%、12.4%、10.5%和10.5%的变异。天然次生林较低的土壤碳氮比、较高的土壤含水量和土壤pH值（酸性范围内）,有利于土壤微生物碳源代谢功能的提高,同时天然次生林较高的阔叶树种的比例也能增加土壤微生物碳源代谢功能。     

南亚热带混交人工林树种丰富度与土壤微生物多样性和群落组成的关系

森林植被与土壤微生物作为森林生态系统的重要组成部分,它们之间的相互作用对维持森林生态系统功能和稳定性起着重要作用。以往多在天然草地和森林生态系统开展植物多样性与土壤微生物多样性关系的研究,但人工构建的多树种混交林生态系统中树种多样性对土壤微生物群落组成的影响及其机制尚不完全清楚。因此,以南亚热带人工块状造林后自然恢复形成的多树种混交森林生态系统为研究对象,利用高通量测序技术研究了随树种丰富度（1-10种）变化土壤细菌和真菌多样性的变化规律及主要影响因子。结果表明,随树种丰富度增加,土壤真菌α多样性显著提高,但土壤细菌α多样性差异不显著;不同树种丰富度梯度间土壤细菌和真菌的群落结构组成均差异显著;Pearson相关分析表明土壤细菌α多样性主要受土壤pH和土壤铵态氮影响,而土壤pH和有效磷是土壤真菌α多样性的主要影响因子。距离冗余分析（db-RDA）表明,对土壤细菌群落组成产生显著影响的环境因子分别为土壤pH、硝态氮和芳香碳组分,而土壤有机碳、硝态氮、细根生物量和氧烷基碳组分是影响土壤真菌群落组成的主要因子。本研究的结果说明了南亚热带人工林不同树种混交后形成多树种混交林生态系统的过程中,树种组成和多样性的变化通过改变土壤理化性状和根系生物量对土壤微生物群落组成有显著影响,为制定该区域人工林通过树种丰富度合理组配调控提升地下生物多样性及生态系统功能的经营策略提供了科学依据。     

重度火烧迹地微地形对土壤微生物特性的影响——以坡度和坡向为例

通过对大兴安岭重度火烧迹地不同坡度和坡向的土壤微生物群落进行调查研究,旨在揭示重度火烧迹地过火6a后森林恢复过程土壤微生物群落的变化规律与影响因素.研究结果表明:平地土壤微生物生物量碳含量(MBC)和土壤微生物生物量碳氮比(MBC/MBN)均高于坡地,其中MBC/MBN达到差异极显著水平.平地土壤微生物的代谢活性AWCD值、对31种4类碳源(糖类、脂类、氨基酸、代谢物)的利用能力和Shannon-Winner多样性指数(H')均极显著低于坡地.西坡土壤微生物AWCD值和H'高于南坡,但AWCD和H'与土壤养分、pH值、EC无显著相关关系,说明坡向可能与土壤微生物代谢活性和多样性的关系并不密切,反映了两坡向土壤微生物群落结构的相似性.坡度由于影响了土壤养分和水分条件,进而影响了土壤微生物的生物量、群落结构、物种多样性和碳源利用能力.火烧迹地恢复初期平地土壤微生物量碳高于坡地,西坡高于南坡;恢复6a后,土壤微生物量碳的差异己不显著,但土壤微生物群落结构、物种多样性以及代谢特性仍具有显著差异,这可能与地形坡度仍然显著影响土壤水分含量的因素有关.     

农业利用对海南省天然次生林土壤微生物的影响

为揭示天然次生林经过长期农业利用后土壤微生物学性质以及土壤养分状况的变异,采集了海南省天然次生林土壤以及由天然次生林经农业开垦转变而成的香蕉、桉树和橡胶林区表层土壤样品,利用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)分析、变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)、群落水平生理特征(CLPP)分析等方法探究天然次生林经农业利用对土壤微生物生物量、微生物活性、群落多样性和功能多样性的影响。研究结果显示,天然次生林土壤总磷脂脂肪酸显著高于经农业利用的土壤,分别是香蕉和橡胶林土壤的3倍和2倍。平均颜色变化率(AWCD)以及由PLFA、DGGE和CLPP分析获得的土壤微生物群落多样性和功能多样性均显示出天然次生林高于农业利用的土壤。天然次生林土壤与农业利用土壤的微生物群落结构也存在明显的分异。另外,天然次生林土壤p H值、有机碳、总氮、总磷、速效氮和速效钾含量高于经农业利用的土壤。逐步回归分析显示土壤p H值、有机碳和速效氮是影响土壤微生物生物量、微生物活性、群落多样性和功能多样性的主要因素。研究结果表明,天然次生林经农业利用后,由于种植单一树种和农业管理措施可能造成土壤有机质和养分含量下降,导致土壤酸化,对土壤微生物群落造成负面影响。     

不同森林恢复类型对南方红壤侵蚀区土壤质量的影响

为了探讨主要森林类型对土壤质量的影响 ,对南方红壤侵蚀区 4种主要森林恢复类型下土壤物理、化学、生物学性状进行了比较研究 ,结果表明 :不同的森林恢复类型导致了土壤物理、化学和生物学性质的显著差异。 4种森林类型的土壤质量均比长期干扰下对照的土壤质量高。人工林土壤质量又相对比天然次生林土壤质量低。其土壤质量综合指数分别为 :天然次生林(0 .95 )、油茶林 (0 .6 8)、杉木林 (0 .5 5 )、湿地松林 (0 .36 )、对照 (0 .0 4 )。自然恢复在恢复初期是提高土壤质量的有效途径。导致人工林和对照土壤质量相对较低的主要因素是 :周期性的森林抚育打破土壤物理结构、凋落物质量较低、凋落物量较低、微生物生物量较低、微生物功能较差和土壤养分流失严重。在土壤质量指标选择方面 ,土壤微生物生物量结合微生物功能多样性是反映土壤生物学活性和土壤质量的较好指标。     

改变碳输入对沂蒙山区典型次生林土壤微生物碳源代谢功能的影响

凋落物和根系向土壤的碳输入是森林生态系统的关键过程,输入量及组分的变化直接影响森林土壤碳汇功能和生产力。在沂蒙山区栎类天然次生林中,开展添加/去除凋落物及去除根系的定位控制试验。于控制试验开展21个月后,采用Biolog Eco微平板培养法,研究凋落物和根系对土壤微生物碳源代谢功能的影响。结果表明,凋落物倍增处理增加了土壤微生物碳源代谢功能,增加了对糖类和胺类的代谢能力。去除凋落物处理、去除根系处理和无输入处理都降低了土壤微生物碳源代谢功能。去除凋落物处理降低土壤微生物碳源代谢功能的幅度大于去除根系处理,表明当前条件下凋落物对土壤微生物碳源代谢功能的影响大于根系,但如果抛除掉去除根系处理中残留根系的影响,凋落物和根系对土壤微生物碳源代谢功能的相对大小可能会发生变化。土壤有机碳含量、铵态氮含量显著影响微生物碳源代谢多样性（P<0.05）,并与碳源代谢功能正相关。凋落物倍增处理通过增加土壤铵态氮和有机碳含量,增加微生物碳源代谢功能,去除凋落物处理和无输入处理通过降低土壤铵态氮和有机碳含量,降低微生物碳源代谢功能。结果深化了碳输入途径（地上凋落物与地下根系）和数量（凋落物倍增、凋落物去除与对照）对温带栎类天然次生林土壤碳代谢过程的认识。     

Microbial biomass and growth kinetics of microorganisms in chernozem soils under different land use modes

The carbon content of microbial biomass and the kinetic characteristics of microbial respiration response to substrate addition have been estimated for chernozem soils under different land use: arable lands used for 10, 46, and 76 years, mowed meadow, natural forest, and forest shelter belt. Microbial biomass and the content of microbial carbon in humus (C_mic /C_org) decreased in the following order: soils under forest cenoses—mowed meadow—10-year arable land—46- and 75-year arable land. The amount of microbial carbon in the long-plowed horizon was 40% of its content in the upper horizon of natural forest. Arable soils were characterized by a lower metabolic diversity of microbial community and by the highest portion of microorganisms able to grow directly on glucose introduced into soil. The effects of different scenarios of carbon sequestration in soil on the amounts and activity of microbial biomass are discussed.     

Long‐term effects of vegetational restoration on soil microbial communities on the Loess Plateau of China

Soil microbial communities are important indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of vegetational restoration. The ability of soil microbial communities to recover under six types of restoration was examined using Biolog, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Soil samples were collected from eroded loessial soils that had been restored for 30 years on the Loess Plateau with natural grass, black locust, korshinsk peashrub, Chinese pine, and mixed forest of Chinese pine‐indigo and black locust‐indigo. Part of sloped farmland that had not been restored represented pre‐restoration conditions. An 80‐year‐old forest of Chinese arborvitae represented the end point of restoration. Soils that were originally farmed but have been under restoration treatments for the past 30 years had significantly higher average well‐color development, total PLFAs, bacterial PLFAs, fungal PLFAs, and Shannon indices of catabolic diversity, structural diversity, and bacterial phylogenetic diversity. These indicators, though, were lower than those for the native forest. Principal component analysis significantly separated the sloped farmland, Chinese arborvitae, and the six types of restoration. Redundancy analysis indicated that pH, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, available nitrogen, and available phosphorus were the most important environment factors in affecting soil functional diversity, and C/N ratio and available nutrients were the main properties in determining microbial community structure. Vegetational restoration substantially increased microbial biomass and microbial physiological activity, and shifted microbial community structure, but the community structures and compositions did not recover to the status of the natural forest during the early stage (<30 years) of vegetational restoration.

长期不同施肥制度下几种土壤微生物学特征变化

 为阐明土壤微生物对土壤健康的生物指示功能, 以国家褐潮土肥力与肥料效益监测基地的长期肥料试验为平台, 应用BIOLOG ECO微平板培养法与常规分析法研究了长期施肥15年后不同施肥制度对土壤微生物生物量、活性、群落代谢功能多样性及土壤肥力的影响。研究结果表明, 与对照(CK)相比, 长期化肥与有机肥配施土壤中土壤有机质(SOM)、全氮(STN)、全磷(STP)含量升高, 土壤C/N与pH值降低, 土壤微生物量碳(Soil microbial biomass carbon, SMBC)、生物微生物量氮(Soil microbial biomass nitrogen, SMBN)、微生物商(qMB)及脲酶(Urease)活性升高, BIOLOG ECO微平板平均颜色变化率(Average well color development, AWCD)、土壤微生物代谢功能多样性指数变化不明显。和长期单施化肥处理(NPK)相比, 长期化肥与有机肥配施处理中上述几种微生物学特征(SMBC、SMBN、qMB、Urease及AWCD、代谢功能多样性指数)均呈极显著增加。NPK处理与CK相比虽然SOM、STN、STP含量稍有升高, 土壤C/N与pH值降低, SMBC、SMBN、qMB及Urease活性增高, 但是AWCD、土壤微生物代谢功能多样性指数却显著下降。过氧化氢酶活性(Catalase)在各处理土壤中的差异不显著。土壤微生物碳源利用的主成分分析表明, 长期不同施肥各处理在土壤微生物利用碳源的种类和能力上有差异。此试验说明, 土壤微生物受农业管理措施和多种环境因素的影响, 土壤微生物学特征可作为土壤质量的敏感指标, 为提高作物产量、增强肥力提供理论参考。     

Microbial biomass and growth kinetics of microorganisms in chernozem soils under different farm land use modes

The carbon content of microbial biomass and the kinetic characteristics of microbial respiration response to substrate introduction have been estimated for chernozem soils of different farm lands: arable lands used for 10, 46, and 76 years, mowed fallow land, non-mowed fallow land, and woodland. Microbial biomass and the content of microbial carbon in humus (Cmic/Corg) decreased in the following order: soils under forest cenoses-mowed fallow land-10-year arable land-46- and 75-year arable land. The amount of microbial carbon in the long-plowed horizon was 40% of its content in the upper horizon of non-mowed fallow land. Arable soils were characterized by a lower metabolic diversity of microbial community and by the highest portion of microorganisms able to grow directly on glucose introduced into soil. The effects of different scenarios of carbon sequestration in soil on the reserves and activity of microbial biomass are discussed.     

Long-term effect of re-vegetation on the microbial community of a severely eroded soil in sub-tropical China

The long-term (18 years) effects of re-vegetating eroded soil on soil microbial biomass, community structure and diversity were investigated in a forest soil derived from Quaternary clay in the Red Soil Ecological Experimental Station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Large areas of land in this region of China have been subjected to severe soil erosion, characterised by the removal of the fertile surface soil and even the exposure of parental rock in some areas due to a combination of deforestation and heavy rainfall. The effects of planting eroded or uneroded soil with Pinus massoniana, Cinnamomum camphora or Lespedeza bicolor on the soil microbial community and chemical properties were assessed. Total soil microbial community DNA was extracted and bacterial 16 S rRNA gene fragments were amplified by PCR and analysed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP). Microbial biomass carbon (C_mic) was measured by chloroform fumigation-extraction. Following the restoration there were significant increases in both C_mic and bacterial diversity (Shannon index), and significant changes in bacterial community structure. Erosion factors were significant only in minor dimensions suggesting that the restoration had been largely successful in terms of bacterial community structure. Compared with uneroded soil, C_mic recovered in L. bicolor and P. massoniana restored eroded plots and was significantly greater under these tree species than C. camphora, although soils in C. camphora restored plots displayed the highest bacterial diversity. The recovery of microbial biomass and diversity in the eroded plots was, to large extent, accompanied by the development of the same bacterial community structure as in the uneroded plots with erosion having relatively little effect on bacterial community structure.     

黄土丘陵沟壑区不同植被恢复格局下土壤微生物群落结构

针对典型黄土丘陵沟壑区陕西延安羊圈沟小流域坡面上单一刺槐林、单一撂荒草地以及林草搭配的草地-林地-草地及林地-草地-林地4种不同植被格局,利用磷脂脂肪酸(phospholipid fatty acid,PLFA)谱图分析法对土壤微生物群落结构进行监测研究,旨在揭示坡面上不同的植被恢复格局对土壤微生物群落结构的影响。研究发现4种不同植被格局下,2种林草搭配的植被格局磷脂脂肪酸的结构比较相似,与单一植被格局相比,表层土壤中表征真菌的特征脂肪酸所占的比例有所提高。主成分分析显示4种植被格局0—10 cm土壤微生物群落结构存在差异,差异主要存在于2种林草搭配的植被格局与2种单一的植被格局之间,其中草地-林地-草地的植被格局与刺槐林和撂荒草地之间土壤微生物群落结构的差异均达到了显著水平。不同微生物菌群的量在4种植被格局土壤间显著性差异主要存在于表层土壤中的细菌菌群和革兰氏阳性菌,革兰氏阴性菌和真菌在4种植被格局土壤之间无显著差异。总之,4种不同植被恢复格局的土壤微生物群落结构存在差异且差异主要存在于表层土壤,坡面上人工林的种植及林草搭配的恢复模式较直接撂荒更有利于提高微生物菌群的生物量。     

长期施肥对稻田土壤有机氮、微生物生物量及功能多样性的影响

以位于湖南省新化和宁乡县两个稻田肥力长期定位试验点的土样为材料,研究了不同施肥处理对稻田土壤有机氮组分、微生物生物量及功能多样性的影响.结果表明：与不施肥处理（CK）相比,化肥配施有机肥处理提高了稻田土壤酸解总氮（TAHN）及其组分中氨基糖氮（ASN）、氨基酸氮（AAN）和酸解氨态氮（AN）的含量,不同施肥处理对组分中酸解未知氮（HUN）的影响不尽相同.与CK相比,单施化肥处理对土壤微生物生物量碳、氮（MBC、MBN）含量的影响较小,化肥配施有机肥处理则显著提高了土壤MBC和MBN的含量.采用BIOLOG法对土壤微生物群落功能多样性进行测定,结果表明：中、高量有机肥处理提高了稻田土壤微生物的碳源利用率和微生物群落功能多样性;土壤微生物碳源利用的类型因长期不同施肥处理而产生差异.     

An Integrated Study to Analyze Soil Microbial Community Structure and Metabolic Potential in Two Forest Types

Soil microbial metabolic potential and ecosystem function have received little attention owing to difficulties in methodology. In this study, we selected natural mature forest and natural secondary forest and analyzed the soil microbial community and metabolic potential combing the high-throughput sequencing and GeoChip technologies. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA sequencing showed that one known archaeal phylum and 15 known bacterial phyla as well as unclassified phylotypes were presented in these forest soils, and Acidobacteria, Protecobacteria, and Actinobacteria were three of most abundant phyla. The detected microbial functional gene groups were related to different biogeochemical processes, including carbon degradation, carbon fixation, methane metabolism, nitrogen cycling, phosphorus utilization, sulfur cycling, etc. The Shannon index for detected functional gene probes was significantly higher (P<0.05) at natural secondary forest site. The regression analysis showed that a strong positive (P<0.05) correlation was existed between the soil microbial functional gene diversity and phylogenetic diversity. Mantel test showed that soil oxidizable organic carbon, soil total nitrogen and cellulose, glucanase, and amylase activities were significantly linked (P<0.05) to the relative abundance of corresponded functional gene groups. Variance partitioning analysis showed that a total of 81.58% of the variation in community structure was explained by soil chemical factors, soil temperature, and plant diversity. Therefore, the positive link of soil microbial structure and composition to functional activity related to ecosystem functioning was existed, and the natural secondary forest soil may occur the high microbial metabolic potential. Although the results can''t directly reflect the actual microbial populations and functional activities, this study provides insight into the potential activity of the microbial community and associated feedback responses of the terrestrial ecosystem to environmental changes.
