Molecular detection of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG (Pasteur) in soil

PCR primers specific for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex were used to detect the presence of Mycobacterium bovis BCG (Pasteur) in soil microcosms and Mycobacterium bovis in environmental samples taken from a farm in Ireland with a history of bovine tuberculosis. M. bovis genes were detected in soil at 4 and 21 months after possible contamination. Gene levels were found in the range of 1 x 10(3) to 3.6 x 10(3) gene copies g of soil(-1), depending on the sampling area. Areas around badger setts had the highest levels of detectable genes and were shown to have the highest levels of gene persistence. M. bovis-specific 16S rRNA sequences were detected, providing evidence of the presence of viable cells in Irish soils. Studies of DNA turnover in soil microcosms proved that dead cells of M. bovis BCG did not persist beyond 10 days. Further microcosm experiments revealed that M. bovis BCG survival was optimal at 37 degrees C with moist soil (-20 kPa; 30% [vol/wt]). This study provides clear evidence that M. bovis can persist in the farm environment outside of its hosts and that climatic factors influence survival rates.     

不同耕作措施下冬小麦生长季农田二氧化碳排放通量及其与土壤温度的关系

利用长期定位试验研究了华北平原不同耕作措施下冬小麦生育期农田CO2排放通量,并对CO2排放通量和土壤温度进行了回归模拟.结果表明冬小麦生育期CO2排放速率表现为翻耕＞旋耕＞免耕,平均分别为343.69、337.54和190.47 mg·m-2·h-1.各处理冬小麦生育期CO2排放通量与土壤温度呈显著正相关;翻耕地CO2排放通量与10 cm地温相关性最高,旋耕地和免耕地则与10 cm和20 cm地温相关性较高.CO2排放通量和土壤温度呈指数函数关系(P＜0.01),利用10 cm地温对冬小麦生育期农田CO2排放通量进行估算表明,翻耕、旋耕和免耕地CO2排放分别为1.88、1.89和1.03 kg·m-2.     

Quantification of protein transcytosis in the human colon carcinoma cell line CaCo-2

The transepithelial absorption of food-type proteins has been shown to proceed by endocytosis along two functional pathways: a minor direct pathway allowing transport of intact protein and a major lysosomal degradative pathway. The human colon carcinoma cell line CaCo-2 grown on Millipore filters was used here further to characterize these pathways by measuring HRP transport across the cell monolayer in Ussing chambers. In the apical-basal direction, this transport mainly occurred along the degradative pathway and was inhibited at 4 degrees C (7.41 +/- 1.26 pmoles/h.cm2 vs. 27.40 +/- 8.91 at 37 degrees C). The amount conveyed via the direct pathway was very small (0.89 +/- 0.35 pmoles/h.cm2) and did not diminish at 4 degrees C (1.43 +/- 0.59 pmoles/h.cm2). In the basal-apical direction, HRP transport along the degradative pathway at 37 degrees C was similar to the apical-basal value and was inhibited at 4 degrees C (16.40 +/- 4.05 vs. 2.72 +/- 2.52 pmoles/h.cm2), but along the direct pathway, it was eight times the apical-basal value (8.36 +/- 3.11 pmoles/h.cm2) and was inhibited at 4 degrees C (2.43 +/- 0.78 pmoles/h.cm2). Intact HRP fluxes were not correlated with the electrical resistance of the filters, indicating transport via a transcellular route. Monensin at 10(-5) M did not affect direct or degradative transport in the apical-to-basal direction. These results suggest that in CaCo-2 cells HRP undergoes bidirectional transcytosis by a fluid-phase mechanism, but the extent of degradation during that transport varies according to the membrane (apical or basal) where it is presented.     

土壤增温对亚热带杉木幼树不同深度土壤微生物胞外酶活性的影响

土壤微生物胞外酶可有效反映气候变暖对土壤微生物功能和土壤有机质分解的影响.目前关于气候变暖对土壤微生物胞外酶活性(EEAs)影响的相关研究主要关注有机碳含量较丰富的表层土壤(0～20 cm),而对深层土壤(>20 cm)EEAs的研究仍较缺乏.因此,本研究关注土壤增温对亚热带不同深度(0～10 cm、10～20 cm、20～40 cm和40～60 cm)EEAs的影响及主要调控因素,其中微生物胞外酶包括参与碳循环的β-葡萄糖苷酶(BG)、纤维二糖水解酶(CBH)、酚氧化酶(PHO)和过氧化物氧化酶(PEO).结果表明: 土壤增温提高了0～10 cm和10～20 cm土壤所有胞外酶的活性(18%～69%).在20 cm以下的深层土壤中,土壤增温仅显著提高了20～40 cm的PHO(10%),而对其余胞外酶的活性无显著影响或有一定的抑制作用(13%～31%).冗余分析(RDA)结果表明: 在微生物可利用有机碳较丰富的表层土壤中,铵态氮(NH₄⁺-N)和土壤含水率(M)是调控EEAs的主要因素,增温增强了微生物与植物之间的养分竞争,因而提高EEAs以获取微生物所需的养分NH₄⁺-N;而在微生物底物有效性较低的深层土壤中,EEAs主要受可溶性有机质(可溶性有机碳和可溶性有机氮)和微生物生物量(MBC)的影响,增温提高深层土壤可溶性有机质的含量,为微生物提供更多的底物,减少微生物对EEAs的需求,进而降低EEAs.本研究发现,不同深度EEAs对土壤增温具有不同响应,且土壤增温条件下表层和深层土壤的EEAs具有明显不同的调控因素.因此,加强不同深度土壤微生物的研究对于准确评估生态系统碳循环对全球变暖的响应具有重要意义.     

长期施肥条件下水稻土腐殖质组成及稳定性碳同位素特性

利用太湖地区26年水稻土长期定位施肥试验,分析了长期不同施肥处理对土壤剖面有机碳分布和稳定性碳同位素自然丰度(δ¹³C)的影响,以及土壤中不同结合态腐殖质组成的变化.结果表明：长期施肥使水稻土表层土壤有机碳含量显著升高,不同处理土壤剖面有机碳含量与土层深度呈极显著指数负相关(P<0.01);施化肥处理10～30 cm土层和施有机肥处理20～40 cm土层有机碳含量变化相对稳定;随土层深度增加,土壤δ¹³C值逐渐升高,其变化范围在-24‰～-28‰,不同处理土壤剖面有机碳含量与δ¹³C值呈显著线性负相关(P<0.05);0～20 cm土层,仅施有机肥处理(M0)、有机肥+氮+磷处理(MNP)、有机肥+氮+磷+钾处理(MNPK)、有机肥+秸秆+氮处理(MRN)以及秸秆+氮处理(CRN)的δ¹³C值明显降低;30～50 cm土层,除CRN外,有机肥和化肥处理土壤的δ¹³C值均明显升高;不同处理土壤中结合态腐殖质均以紧结合态腐殖质(胡敏素)为主,其含量在50%以上,其余部分为松结合态和稳结合态腐殖质;长期施肥使土壤松结合态腐殖质含量及富啡酸(FA)与胡敏酸(HA)比值(HA/FA)升高.     

Net changes of soil C stocks in two grassland soils 26 months after simulated pasture renovation including biochar addition

The use of deep‐rooting pasture species as a management practice can increase the allocation of plant carbon (C) below ground and enhance C storage. A 2‐year lysimeter trial was set up to compare changes in C stocks of soils under either deep‐ or shallow‐rooting pastures and investigate whether biochar addition below the top 10 cm could promote root growth at depth. For this i) soil ploughing at cultivation was simulated in a silt loam soil and in a sandy soil by inverting the 0 to 10 and 10‐ to 20‐cm‐depth soil layers, and a distinctive biochar (selected for each soil to overcome soil‐specific plant growth limitations) was mixed at 10 Mg ha^?1 in the buried layer, where appropriate and ii) three pasture types with contrasting root systems were grown. In the silt loam, soil inversion resulted in a general loss of C (2.0–8.1 Mg ha^?1), particularly in the buried horizon, under shallow‐rooting pastures only. The addition of a C‐rich biochar (equivalent to 7.6 Mg C ha^?1) to this soil resulted in a net C gain (21–40% over the non‐biochar treatment, P < 0.10) in the buried layer under all pastures; this overcame the loss of C in this horizon under shallow‐rooting pastures. In the sandy soil, all pastures were able to maintain soil C stocks at 10–20 cm depth over time, with minor gains of C (1.6–5.1 Mg ha^?1) for the profile. In this soil, the exposure of a skeletal‐ and nutrient‐depleted soil layer at the surface may have fostered root growth at depth. The addition of a nutrient‐rich biochar (equivalent to 3.6 Mg C ha^?1) to this soil had no apparent effect on C stocks. More research is needed to understand the mechanisms through which soil C stocks at depth are preserved.     

Stoichiometry of the photosynthetic apparatus and phycobilisome structure of the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum UTEX 485 are regulated by both light and temperature

The role of growth temperature and growth irradiance on the regulation of the stoichiometry and function of the photosynthetic apparatus was examined in the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum UTEX 485 by comparing mid-log phase cultures grown at either 29 degrees C/150 micromol m(-2) s(-1), 29 degrees C/750 micromol m(-2) s(-1), 15 degrees C/150 micromol m(-2) s(-1), or 15 degrees C/10 micromol m(-2) s(-1). Cultures grown at 29 degrees C/750 micromol m(-2) s(-1) were structurally and functionally similar to those grown at 15 degrees C/150 micromol m(-2) s(-1), whereas cultures grown at 29 degrees C/150 micromol m(-2) s(-1) were structurally and functionally similar to those grown at 15 degrees C/10 micromol m(-2) s(-1). The stoichiometry of specific components of the photosynthetic apparatus, such as the ratio of photosystem (PS) I to PSII, phycobilisome size and the relative abundance of the cytochrome b(6)/f complex, the plastoquinone pool size, and the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex were regulated by both growth temperature and growth irradiance in a similar manner. This indicates that temperature and irradiance may share a common sensing/signaling pathway to regulate the stoichiometry and function of the photosynthetic apparatus in P. boryanum. In contrast, the accumulation of neither the D1 polypeptide of PSII, the large subunit of Rubisco, nor the CF(1) alpha-subunit appeared to be regulated by the same mechanism. Measurements of P700 photooxidation in vivo in the presence and absence of inhibitors of photosynthetic electron transport coupled with immunoblots of the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex in cells grown at either 29 degrees C/750 micromol m(-2) s(-1) or 15 degrees C/150 micromol m(-2) s(-1) are consistent with an increased flow of respiratory electrons into the photosynthetic intersystem electron transport chain maintaining P700 in a reduced state relative to cells grown at either 29 degrees C/150 micromol m(-2) s(-1) or 15 degrees C/10 micromol m(-2) s(-1). These results are discussed in terms of acclimation to excitation pressure imposed by either low growth temperature or high growth irradiance.     

The accumulation of organic carbon in mineral soils by afforestation of abandoned farmland

The afforestation of abandoned farmland significantly influences soil organic carbon (OC). However, the dynamics between OC inputs after afforestation and the original OC are not well understood. To learn more about soil OC dynamics after afforestation of farmland, we measured the soil OC content in paired forest and farmland plots in Shaanxi Province, China. The forest plots had been established on farmland 18, 24, 48, 100, and 200 yr previously. The natural (13)C abundance of soil organic matter was also analyzed to distinguish between crop- and forest-derived C in the afforested soils. We observed a nonlinear accumulation of total OC in the 0-80 cm depth of the mineral soil across time. Total soil OC accumulated more rapidly under forest stands aged 18 to 48 yr than under forest stands aged 100 or 200 yrs. The rate of OC accumulation was also greater in the 0-10 cm depth than in the 10-80 cm depth. Forest-derived OC in afforested soils also accumulated nonlinearly across time, with the greatest increase in the 0-20 cm depth. Forest-derived OC in afforest soils accounted for 52-86% of the total OC in the 0-10 cm depth, 36-61% of the total OC in the 10-20 cm depth, and 11-50% of the total OC in the 20-80 cm depth. Crop-derived OC concentrations in the 0-20 cm depth decreased slightly after afforestation, but there was no change in crop-derived OC concentrations in the 20-80 cm depth. The results of our study support the claim that afforestation of farmland can sequester atmospheric CO(2) by increasing soil OC stocks. Changes in the OC stocks of mineral soils after afforestation appear to be influenced mainly by the input of forest-derived C rather than by the loss of original OC.     

Seasonal Migration of Meloidogyne chitwoodi and its Role in Potato Production

Seasonal vertical migration of Meloidogyne chitwoodi through soil and its impact on potato production in Washington and Oregon was studied. Nematode eggs and second-stage juveniles (J2) were placed at various depths (0-180 cm) in tubes filled with soil and buried vertically or in holes dug in potato fields. Tubes were removed at intervals over a 12-month period and soil was bioassayed on tomato roots. Upward migration began in the spring after water had percolated through the tubes. Nematodes were detected in the top 5 cm of tubes within 1-2 months of burial, depending on depth of placement. Potatoes were grown in field plots for 4 or 5 months before the tubers were evaluated for infection. One hundred eggs and J2 per gram soil placed at 60 and 90 cm caused significant tuber damage at the Washington and Oregon sites, respectively. At the Washington site, inoculum placed at 90, 120, and 150 cm caused potato root infection without serious impact on tuber quality, but inoculum diluted 2-8 times and placed at 90 cm did not cause root or tuber infection. Nematode migration was dependent on soil texture; 9 days after placement at the bottoms of tubes, J2 had moved up 55 cm in sandy loam soil (Oregon) but only 15 cm in silt loam (Washington). Thus, the importance of M. chitwoodi which occur deep in a soil profile may depend on soil texture, population density, and length of the growing season.     

抽穗期不同灌水深度下水稻群体与大气的温度差异

于2005年选用3个水稻品种(扬稻6号、扬粳9538和武香粳14)在抽穗开花期设置无水(0 cm)、浅水(2～4 cm)和深水(10 cm以上)3个水分处理,研究水分管理对水稻不同部位温度的影响.结果表明,在10:30-15:00,田间灌水深度显著影响水稻植株不同部位的温度.田间水位越高,水稻各部位的温度越低,大气温度与植株不同部位的温度的差值越高.深水管理下,3个品种大气与水稻穗部、植株中部和田面温差的平均值分别比无水管理高1.37、2.98和4.12 ℃,比浅水管理高0.67、1.59和2.17 ℃;而浅水管理大气与下穗部、植株中部和田面温差的平均值分别比无水管理高0.71、1.39和1.95 ℃.不同品种大气与水稻各部位的温度差值也存在差异.对田面-植株中部-穗部温度传递特性的分析表明,不同水深管理下的水稻群体内部温度的变化梯度符合热学传递原理,说明在抽穗期高温来临之前提高田间水深对降低或缓解水稻高温热害具有明显作用.     

黄土高原子午岭地区人工油松林碳氮磷生态化学计量特征

分析人工植被重建背景下,森林植物、枯落物与土壤的碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)化学计量特征有助于深入理解森林生态系统养分循环规律和系统稳定机制。以黄土高原子午岭地区的3个林龄(10、25 a和40 a)的人工油松林为对象,通过测定油松林叶片、枯落物和土壤的碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)含量,研究人工油松林不同林龄叶片、枯落物和土壤的化学计量学特征。结果表明,不同林龄油松叶片C、N、P含量分别为538.85—560.54 g/kg、9.00—10.47 g/kg和1.04—1.13 g/kg。在3个林龄油松林中,除叶片C含量外,叶片N、P含量存在显著差异(P0.05);枯落物层以及土壤层的C、N、P含量均存在显著差异(P0.05),且枯落物层含量大于土壤层。随着林龄的增加,叶片C∶N比呈现先减小后增大的变化,N∶P和C∶P比呈显著增加趋势,而枯落物层C∶N、C∶P和N∶P比无显著差异。同时,随着林龄的增加,除10—20 cm土层的C∶N比外,土壤的C∶N比在0—10 cm土层和C∶P和N∶P比在0—10和10—20 cm皆呈显著增加趋势。研究区油松林叶片N∶P比平均值为9.13,低于14,表明油松林生长主要受氮的限制。土壤的N含量与叶片和枯落物层的N含量、以及三者间N∶P比呈显著线性相关(P0.05),充分体现了油松林植物、枯落物与土壤之间的互动关系。研究结果可为我国黄土高原脆弱生态区的生态功能恢复与植被重建提供科学依据。     

Influence of growth temperature on cryotolerance and lipid composition of Lactobacillus acidophilus

In order to correlate the lipid composition of the membrane of Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL 640 with the freeze-thaw behaviour of the cultures grown at different temperatures, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from extracts grown at 25, 30, 37 and 40 degrees C were obtained and compared. Cultures grown at 25 degrees C (M25) exhibited more resistance to the freeze-thaw process probably because of an increase in C18:2 and C16:0 fatty acids. This culture also exhibited a lesser amount of phospholipids as shown by the sugar: phosphorus ratio. In all cases, the presence of the uncommon 10-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid was determined. From the extracts of the M25 and M37 cultures, diacylphosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, diglycosyldiglycerides, triglycosyldiglycerides and neutral lipids were isolated and identified. The structural elucidation was carried out by FAMEs and sugar analysis and by mass spectrometry using fast atom bombardment ionization. The changes in lipid composition due to different growth temperatures could be indicative of the resistance of the bacteria to freeze-thaw processes.     

Structural and physiological diversity among cystlike resting cells of bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas

Cystlike resting cells (CRC) of non-spore-forming gram-negative bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, P. aurantiaca and P. fluorescens, were obtained and characterized for the first time; their physiological and morphological diversity was demonstrated. The following properties were common for all the revealed types of CRC as dormant forms: (1) long-term (up to 6 months or longer) maintenance of viability in the absence of culture growth and cell respiration; (2) absence of an experimentally detectable level of metabolism; (3) higher resistance to damage and autolysis under the action of provoking factors than in metabolically active vegetative cells; and (4) specific features of ultrastructural organization absent in vegetative cells: thickened and lamellar envelopes, clumpy structure of the cytoplasm, and condensed DNA in nucleoid. The differences in various types of CRC concern the thickness and lamellar structure of cell envelopes, as well as the presence and thickness of the capsular layer. In particular, forms ultrastructurally similar to typical bacterial cysts were revealed in pseudomonad populations growing on soil agar. Physiological diversity was revealed in different levels of viability preservation and thermal resistance in various types of CRC and depended on the conditions of their formation. The optimal conditions and procedures for obtaining P. aurantiaca and P. fluorescens CRC that retain the ability to form colonies on standard nutrient media are as follows: (1) a twofold decrease of nitrogen content in the growth medium; (2) an increased level of anabiosis autoinducer (C12-AHB, 10(-4) M) in stationary cultures; (3) transfer of the cells from stationary cultures to a starvation medium with silica; (4) cultivation in soil extract; and (5) development of cultures on soil agar. The CRC from the cultures grown in soil extract or starvation medium with silica proved to be resistant to heat treatment (60 degrees C, 5 min). In the CRC formed in nitrogen-limited media, the degree of heat resistance increased at longer incubation (1.5 to 6 months). CRCs on soil agar surface were resistant to desiccation. The ultrastructure of the morphologically varied types of P. aurantiaca CRC formed under simulated natural conditions is described for the first time. The data on the intraspecies diversity of pseudomonad dormant forms contribute to the concept of plasticity of the life style and adaptive reactions that ensure survival of these bacteria in unfavorable environmental conditions.     

不同土地管理方式对黑土土壤微生物量碳和酶活性的影响

在中国科学院海伦农业生态实验站长期定位试验区,对比研究了黑土自然恢复、休闲裸地和种植作物3种管理方式对0～10、20～30和40～50cm深度土壤的微生物量碳和脲酶、磷酸酶、过氧化氢酶和转化酶活性的影响．结果表明：0～10cm表层土壤的微生物量碳和土壤酶活性均表现为自然恢复〉种植作物〉休闲裸地处理,而20～30cm和40～50cm深度土壤的微生物量碳和土壤酶活性虽也存在差异,但不如表层土壤变化显著．自然恢复和种植作物处理的土壤微生物量碳和土壤酶活性均随土层深度增加而降低,而休闲裸地处理的土壤微生物量碳和脲酶、磷酸酶、过氧化氢酶活性却以20～30cm土层为高．相关分析表明,土壤全碳和全氮、土壤全碳和微生物量碳、土壤微生物量碳和4种土壤酶活性之间都存在极显著的正相关关系．土壤酶活性和土壤微生物量碳两项指标表明在自然恢复条件下黑土土壤质量较好．     

Effect of lipid composition on the stability of cellular membranes during freeze-thawing of Lactobacillus acidophilus grown at different temperatures

Lactobacillus acidophilus CRL 640 grown at the optimal temperature of 37 degrees C (M37) appeared more sensitive to freeze-thawing than when it was grown at 25 degrees C (M25). In the first case, 87% of the cells died, in contrast to 33% for cells grown at 25 degrees C. All the surviving M37 cells showed sensitivity to NaCl. However, among the surviving M25 cells, only 85% were sensitive to NaCl. The rest of the cells were considered uninjured. Freeze-thawing in cells grown at 25 degrees C showed a liberation of nucleic acids and proteins. However, the leakage was higher in M37 cells after freeze-thawing. The greater fraction of damaged cells were observed in M25 culture after freeze-thawing. A relative increase of 81% in cardiolipid (CL), with respect to total phospholipids and 72% triglycosyldiglyceride (TGDG) with respect to the total glycolipids was observed in M37. In addition, a decrease of palmitoyl (C16:0), oleoyl (C18:0) fatty acids at CL, phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and diglicosyldiglyceride (DGDG) fractions and the increase of C19 cyc and C18:0, 10-OH fatty acids in neutral lipid, and CL fractions was also apparent. In M25 cells, the concentration of DGDG and PG was higher than in M37 cells. The difference in cryotolerance between the frozen cultures emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate conditions of growth of microorganisms for use as dietary adjuncts.     

Rhythmic activity of uptake hydrogenase in the prokaryote Rhodospirillum rubrum

Growth of Rhodospirillum rubrum was followed in cultures kept under anoxic conditions at constant temperature in either continuous light (LL, 32 degrees C) or continuous darkness (DD, 32 degrees C and 16 degrees C). In DD, only small modifications of the turbidity were detected; linear regression analysis nevertheless gives a very significant slope (t(34) = 13.07, p < 10(-14), with R2 of 0.834). Mean generation times reflected these differences of growth with 11.9+/-0.5 h in LL and 43.2+/-1.1 h in DD at 32 degrees C and 37.4+/-1.0 h at 16 degrees C cultures. The uptake hydrogenase (Hup) activity has been followed in situ in whole cells of R. rubrum grown in the same conditions, and a clear ultradian rhythm of activity has been observed. Indeed, after about 12 h in the new media, a rapid rise of hydrogenase activity was observed in both LL and DD cultures after which it decreased again to very low values. The activity of Hup continued to show such fluctuations during the rest of the experiment, both in DD and in LL, during the growth and stationary phases. The Lomb-Scargle power periodogram method demonstrates the presence of a clear rhythmic Hup activity both in LL and DD. In the LL-grown cultures, the oscillating activity is faster and continues throughout the growth and the stationary phases, with an ultradian period of 12.1+/-0.5 h. In DD, the slow-growing bacteria showed an ultradian oscillatory pattern of Hup activity with periods of 15.2+/-0.5 h at 32 degrees C and 23.4+/-2.0 h at 16 degrees C. The different periods obtained for LL- and DD-grown bacteria are significantly different.     

川西北高寒沙地不同生态治理模式下土壤碳氮磷储量及生态化学计量特征

选取单植牧草、单植灌木、灌草间作、灌药间作4种生态模式治理5年后的川西北高寒沙地为研究对象,以未治理裸沙地为对照,分析了土壤碳氮磷含量及生态化学计量比特征。结果表明: 生态治理能显著提升土壤有机碳(SOC)、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)含量和储量以及C/N、C/P、N/P,其中灌草间作提升效果最显著,其0～10和10～20 cm土层的SOC、TN含量均显著高于其他模式,且0～40 cm土层SOC储量分别比单植牧草、单植灌木、灌草间作、对照高13.4%、15.6%、17.1%、43.2%。0～10和10～20 cm土层土壤碱解氮、速效磷、速效钾、含水量与SOC、TN和TP含量呈显著正相关,土壤容重则与SOC、TN和TP含量呈显著负相关;土壤碱解氮、速效磷、速效钾和含水量与C/N、C/P在10～20 cm土层呈显著正相关。川西北高寒沙地土壤碳氮磷及其化学计量比受生态治理措施和土层深度的影响,本研究条件下灌草间作模式最有利于改善沙地土壤环境质量。     

水热条件对锡林河流域典型草原退化群落土壤呼吸的影响

 采用碱液吸收法对锡林河流域温带典型草原一退化群落的土壤呼吸进行了测定,并分析了温度和水分对土壤呼吸的影响,结果表明：1）土壤呼吸总体趋势是夏季高,其它季节低,但季节动态呈现不规律的波动曲线;2）气温、地表温度以及5 cm、10 cm、15 cm和25 cm的土壤温度均与土壤呼吸速率呈显著的指数关系,温度对土壤呼吸的影响在低温时比高温时更显著;3）0～10 cm和10～20 cm土层的土壤含水量均与土壤呼吸速率呈显著的线性关系,消除气温的影响后则呈更为显著的乘幂关系;4）根据变量在p=0.05水平上的多元回归分析结果得到关于土壤呼吸与气温和10～20 cm土壤含水量的关系模型：y=5 911.648×e0.04216Ta×M20. 90758 (R2=0.8584,p<0.0001) ,这一模型比单变量模型能更好地解释土壤呼吸的变化情况;5）实验期间土壤呼吸的平均速率为661.35 mgC·m-2·d-1,以气温、地表温度以及5 cm、10 cm、15 cm和25 cm的土壤温度为依据得到的Q10值依次为1.63、1.47、1.52、1.70、1.90、1.97。     

免耕对农牧交错带农田休闲期土壤风蚀及其相关土壤理化性状的影响

以北方农牧交错带为研究对象,分析了免耕对农田土壤风蚀的影响,评价了不同耕作方式下与土壤风蚀相关的土壤物理、化学和生物学特性的差异。研究结果表明:翻耕农田土壤风蚀量是免耕地的3~8倍,翻耕地和免耕地的地表粗糙度分别为0.032和0.417;与翻耕地相比,免耕地表层0~10cm土壤粘粒和粉粒含量较多;免耕地土层0~5cm和5~10cm的土壤容重、坚实度和土壤水分都大于翻耕地,其中0~5cm、5~10cm和10~20cm土层土壤坚实度分别是翻耕地的4.7、2.8倍和3.8倍。经过3年的免耕,0~5cm土层土壤全氮、有机质、有效磷和有效钾含量均高于翻耕土壤,有效钾含量比翻耕地增加了77%。所有测定土层的土壤有机质含量免耕地均高于翻耕地,在0~5cm和5~10cm土层达到5%显著水平。免耕地表层0~10cm土壤微生物量碳是翻耕地的2.1倍。     

采伐剩余物管理措施对二代杉木人工林土壤全碳、全氮含量的长期效应

根据福建省南平市峡阳国有林场二代杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata(Lamb.) Hook)人工林5种采伐剩余物管理措施(收获采伐剩余物和地被层、全树收获、仅收获树干和树皮以及加倍采伐剩余物、炼山)下0-40 cm深度土壤全碳、全氮含量15a的监测数据,研究了采伐剩余物管理措施对杉木林土壤碳氮含量的影响.结果显示,加倍采伐剩余物处理样地5次取样年份(造林第3年、第6年、第9年、第12年和第15年)0-10 cm土层土壤全碳、全氮含量均高于其他处理样地,但单因素方差分析显示,采伐剩余物管理措施在5次取样年份对0-10 cm、10-20 cm和20-40 cm土层全碳、全氮含量均没有显著影响(P＞0.05).重复测量方差分析显示,杉木造林15a期间土壤全碳、全氮含量随年份显著变化(P＜0.01),但处理措施以及处理措施与取样年份的交互作用对3个土层土壤全碳、全氮含量影响不显著(P＞0.05).杉木林15年生时,不同处理样地3个土层碳储量差异不显著(P＞0.05),0-40 cm土层平均值为88.71 Mg/hm2.表明采伐剩余物管理措施对亚热带杉木人工林土壤全碳、全氮含量的长期效应并不显著.
