青藏高原东缘海螺沟冰川退缩区植被原生演替的氮磷动态

在青藏高原东缘海螺沟冰川退缩区植被原生演替序列的典型地段依次设置7个采样点(冰川退缩0、10、30、40、50、80和127年),测定各演替阶段表层土壤与植被各层氮(N)、磷(P)含量及生态系统生物量,分析不同演替阶段N、P养分的积累与循环特征。结果表明:乔木层叶、枝、根的N、P含量随演替下降,而干的N、P含量在演替末期较高,凋落物与土壤O层N、P含量的变化趋势与乔木层叶和枝一致。生态系统的N、P贮量均随演替逐渐增加,演替初期生态系统N的积累主要依靠植被层,演替末期尤其是植被层形成顶极群落以后,土壤成为生态系统中最主要的N库;植被层的P贮量在冰川退缩后的80年样地超过了表层土壤。生态系统N、P养分的积累速率在演替中期较快,且表现为表层土壤＞乔木层＞林下植被层;演替中期阔叶林阶段N、P养分的循环系数高于演替末期的针叶林阶段,而利用效率则低于针叶林阶段。可见,针叶树种养分循环低但利用率高的机制有利于同其他物种竞争,从而最终形成顶极群落。     

水土保持林恢复土壤可溶性碳氮组分动态与三维荧光特征分析

为探究水土保持林恢复过程中土壤可溶性碳氮含量变化及其有机组成特性,揭示水保林土壤固存可溶性有机质的效应及机制。选取了黄土丘陵区恢复12-45a的人工柠条、刺槐林以及撂荒地,分析了土壤可溶性碳氮含量及其三维荧光光谱特征与特性参数的动态变化。结果表明：随恢复年限的增加,3种植被土壤可溶性有机碳（DOC）、有机氮（DON）、无机氮（DIN）的含量均呈增加趋势,并且相同恢复年限下DOC、DON、DIN含量总体表现为撂荒 < 柠条 < 刺槐;但柠条和刺槐林土壤DOC：DON及二者占总有机碳、全氮比例并未持续增加,到恢复45a时DOC占总有机碳比例以及DOC：DON均以撂荒地最高,刺槐林最低,DON占全氮比例则表现相反。三维荧光结合平行因子分析得出所有样地土壤可溶性有机质（DOM）主要有大分子腐殖物质（C1）、低分子量类富里酸（C2）、类色氨酸（C3）及农业措施输入的腐殖物质（C4）4个组分,并且以C1组分占比最大,平均达37.4%。随恢复年限增加,3种植被土壤DOM中C3组分占比升高,C2和C4组分占比降低,C1组分占比在柠条和刺槐林中升高,在撂荒地中则降低。不同植被土壤可溶性有机质荧光指数（FI）、新鲜度指数（β：α）及自生源指数（BIX）差异不显著,分别为1.63、0.58、0.59;不同恢复年限撂荒地腐殖化指数（HIX）没有差异,但柠条和刺槐林显著高于撂荒且随恢复年限增加先增大后稳定。综上,水保林持续恢复可以显著提升土壤可溶性碳氮含量,也使土壤可溶有机质组成趋向复杂和相对稳定,利于累积固持,特别以刺槐林效应最明显。     

贡嘎山冰川退缩区植物-土壤反馈与植物间相互作用

植物-土壤反馈是揭示陆地生物群落动态变化的关键环节,为理解植物间相互作用及植被群落变化过程奠定基础。本研究以贡嘎山冰川退缩区原生演替早(5~10年)、中(30~40年)和晚期(80~100年)3个阶段典型土壤以及各阶段优势植物为对象,采用盆栽控制试验,比较优势植物在不同土壤条件下的生物量,并量化植物间相互作用以及植物-土壤反馈的方向与强度,为探究贡嘎山冰川退缩区植被群落演替规律提供依据。结果表明:(1)植物-土壤反馈作用显著影响植物在本土中的生物量,早期沙棘(Hippophae rhamnoides)在本土中生长最差,沙棘的植物-土壤反馈系数为负值;演替中期冬瓜杨(Populus purdomii)的反馈系数趋于零;晚期峨眉冷杉(Abies fabri)在本土中生长最好,峨眉冷杉的反馈系数为正值。(2)混种时,早期沙棘与演替中、晚期植物间相互作用指数为负值;中期冬瓜杨、川滇柳(Salix rehderiana)与演替早、晚期植物的相互作用指数接近于零,晚期植物峨眉冷杉、麦吊云杉(Picea brachytyla)与演替早、中期植物相互作用指数为正值。从植物-土壤反馈的方向来看,贡嘎山植被演替从早期负反馈,中期中性反馈,过渡到晚期正反馈。此外,演替早期沙棘促进演替中晚期植物生长,演替中期冬瓜杨、川滇柳对演替早晚期植物无显著影响,晚期峨眉冷杉、麦吊云杉更利于与演替早中期植物相互竞争。结果显示,植物-土壤反馈与植物间相互作用共同驱动了贡嘎山冰川退缩区植被快速演替,直至顶极群落。     

广西弄拉岩溶植被不同演替阶段的主要土壤因子及溶蚀率对比研究

植被是土壤形成过程中最活跃的因素 ,在同样气候条件下又是最重要的因素 ,植被的演替改变了土壤的理化性质 ,促进了成土作用。植被的正向演替可改善土壤 A层的理化性状 ,降低容重 ,增加孔隙度、含水量和有机质含量 ;而 B层理化性状在演替初期得到改善 ,后期 (乔林期 )却明显下降 ,容重增加 ,孔隙度、含水量和有机质含量大大降低。土壤 p H值随演替进展逐渐降低。Mg含量随正向演替而降低 ;Ca因植物的作用而呈现复杂性。土壤 CO2 的变化也很复杂 ,表层 CO2 随正向演替明显增加 ,但当(青冈林土 )孔隙度很大时有利于 CO2 的逸出而大大降低 ;深层 CO2 与土壤孔隙度、含水量一致 ,初期随正向演替增加 ,到乔林期又降低。地表溶蚀率随植被正向演替 ,先降低后增加 ;土壤中岩石的溶蚀率随演替而增加 ,与 Ca、Mg含量 ,p H值成反比 ,与土壤有机碳、CO2 浓度成正比 ;植被进展演替有促进潜蚀的作用 ,演替初期表层溶蚀率较深层高 ,到乔林阶段后深层较高。岩石的溶蚀率还受土壤含水量、孔隙度等多种因素的影响。     

冻融条件和土壤湿度对森林土壤渗漏液溶解性有机质含量与光谱结构特征的影响

土壤溶解性有机质(DOM)含量及其稳定性影响土壤碳氮循环关键过程,目前气候变化下森林土壤DOM含量及其光谱结构特征仍不明确.本研究利用长白山阔叶红松混交林和次生白桦林表层土壤进行室内冻融模拟试验,结合三维荧光光谱-平行因子分析方法,研究冻融强度和冻融循环次数及其交互作用对不同湿度温带森林土壤渗漏液DOM含量、组分和光谱结构特征的影响.结果表明: 森林土壤渗漏液DOM含量及其组分因林分类型、土壤湿度、冻融强度、冻融循环次数不同而存在差异.2种林分土壤渗漏液DOM含量均在中湿度下最低,并受高强度冻融影响显著,且随冻融循环次数增加呈现先增加后降低的趋势.可鉴别DOM的3个荧光组分:胡敏酸类DOM、富里酸类DOM和蛋白类DOM;阔叶红松混交林土壤渗漏液DOM组分以富里酸类物质为主,腐殖化程度较高;而次生白桦林土壤渗漏液DOM组分以胡敏酸类物质为主,3组分受冻融强度显著影响,稳定性较低.经冗余分析(RDA)发现,林分在很大程度上决定森林土壤DOM属性变化,次生白桦林土壤渗漏液DOM含量及其3组分荧光强度大于阔叶红松混交林;土壤湿度显著影响DOM芳香性,2种林分土壤渗漏液DOM芳香性均呈中湿度>高湿度>低湿度的趋势;随冻融强度增加,阔叶红松混交林土壤渗漏液DOM芳香性显著降低;多次冻融循环显著提高2种林分土壤渗漏液DOM腐殖化程度.因此,不同冻融作用下,低湿度温带森林土壤渗漏液DOM含量及其生物有效性呈现增加的趋势,尤其是次生白桦林土壤,可能会增加春季冻融期温带森林土壤溶解性有机质淋溶损失.这些结果可为深入研究野外冻融期温带森林土壤溶解性有机质周转机制提供参考.     

森林演替在南亚热带森林生态系统碳吸存中的作用

研究了鼎湖山南亚热带森林同一演替系列中3个不同演替阶段(马尾松针叶林、马尾松荷木混交林和季风常绿阔叶林)生态系统碳贮量和分配格局特征,并探讨了该地区森林演替过程中生态系统碳吸存潜力和速度。结果表明:(1)针叶林各组分碳素含量高于阔叶林对应组分的碳素含量(后者是前者的72.0%～94.5%)。两个森林植物碳素含量,不同层次比较,均为乔木层>灌木层>草本层,不同器官比较,以根或干最高。(2)乔木层生物量随森林演替进展而增加。针叶林、混交林和阔叶林乔木层生物量分别为:143.5t/hm2、270.1t/hm2和407.8t/hm2,其中大部分由干和皮组成(各器官占乔木层生物量的比例平均为:叶2.8%、枝19.3%、干和皮混合57.0%、根20.9%)。林下层生物量为4.23～14.10t/hm2,是乔木层的1.0%～9.8%,随森林演替进展而减少。(3)土壤容重随深度增加而增加,但随森林演替进展而减少。与土壤容重相反,土壤有机碳含量随深度增加而明显减少,但随森林演替进展而增加。(4)3种类型森林生态系统碳总贮量分别为135.8t/hm2、215.1t/hm2和259.7t/hm2。生态系统碳贮量在各组分的格局十分相似,植被、土壤和凋落物层所占比例均分别约为67.6%、30.2%和2.2%。与其它地带森林比较,鼎湖山保护区森林植被与土壤碳贮量之比和表层(0～20cm)的土壤碳占整个     

不同演替阶段鼢鼠土丘群落植物多样性变化研究

用空间序列代替时间序列的方法对高寒草甸不同演替阶段高原鼢鼠土丘植物群落的物种组成和多样性变化进行了研究．结果表明,不同演替阶段鼠丘植物群落的物种组成及外貌特征与原生植被(对照)之间存在较大差异．在演替的早期阶段,r对策者如萼果香薷、灰绿藜、鹅绒委陵菜、细叶亚菊等演替先锋种在群落中占相对重要地位．随着演替的进展,k对策者如长毛风毛菊、垂穗披碱草、甘肃嵩草、线叶嵩草等在群落中的比例增加．α多样性分析表明,随着演替的进展,群落物种丰富度指数(O)显著增加,其排列顺序为：阶段1<阶段2<阶段3<阶段4<原生植被;均匀度指数(Pielou均匀度指数)的变化趋势与丰富度指数相同;多样性指数(Simpson指数D和Shannon-．Wiener指数H’)按群落的演替梯度呈增加趋势．卢多样性分析表明,阶段1与原生植被及阶段1与阶段4植物群落物种组成的相似系数最小,为0．18;阶段1与阶段2植物群落物种组成的相似系数最大,为0．62．同时,群落生活型功能群组成也随鼠丘的演替进展而发生变化,反映出不同演替阶段的鼠丘植物群落和微生境都发生了改变．     

五大连池新期火山熔岩台地不同植被类型土壤微生物群落的功能多样性

土壤微生物群落是陆地生态系统的重要生物活性成分,其结构和功能多样性直接影响到系统的碳、氮等生态过程,微生物群落功能多样性与地上植被类型变化密切相关,开展植被类型对土壤微生物群落功能多样性的影响研究具有重要意义。以五大连池新期火山熔岩台地苔藓、草本、灌丛、矮曲林、针阔混交林5种典型植被类型为对象,利用BIOLOG微孔板法研究不同演替阶段植被类型土壤微生物群落功能多样性特征。结果表明：不同植被类型土壤微生物群落功能多样性存在显著差异。平均颜色变化率（AWCD）随培养时间延长而逐渐增加,大小顺序为：苔藓 > 针阔混交林 > 矮曲林 > 草本 > 灌丛。灌丛土壤微生物多样性指数与其他植被类型间差异显著。主成分分析结果表明,主成分1和主成分2分别能解释变量方差的56.24%和29.59%,不同植被类型下土壤微生物的碳源利用格局差异主要是由氨基酸类和带磷基糖类引起,二者合计解释总变异量的47.51%。冗余分析表明,速效磷、铵态氮、C：N和pH对微生物功能多样性具有显著的影响,羧酸类、氨基酸类、酯类和胺类的降解更易受到环境因素的影响。研究结果为进一步探讨植被类型与土壤微生物之间在植被演替过程中的关系提供参考。     

黄土高原不同演替阶段草地植被细根垂直分布特征与土壤环境的关系

研究了黄土区不同演替阶段草地植被细根垂直分布特征与土壤环境的关系,结果表明不同演替阶段草地植被细根生物量、根长密度、表面积、直径和比根长均具有明显的垂直分布特征。细根生物量、根长密度和细根表面积一般随土层加深而逐渐减少,且集中分布于0-40cm土层;随着演替的进行,除20a弃耕地外,0—80cm土层细根生物量、根长密度和细根表面积逐渐增加;除25a弃耕地外,细根直径随演替进行逐渐减小。0～100cm土层土壤含水量随演替进行而增加,不同演替阶段深层土壤水分较表层稳定。土壤容重的变化趋势为9〈4〈15〈20〈25a弃耕地,根系对表层土壤水分和容重的影响较大,而对深层土壤水分与容重影响较少。不同演替阶段细根各参数和土壤水分、容重差异均达到显著水平。各弃耕地细根参数之间,细根参数和土壤环境因子之间存在不同程度的相关关系,土壤含水量在草本植被的不同演替阶段均是影响其细根垂直分布的关键因素。土壤容重在演替早期对草本植被根系的影响较小,随着演替进行其影响作用进一步增强。     

豫西丘陵坡地弃耕农田植被演替对土壤碳、氮库的影响

在豫西丘陵坡地弃耕农田中,设置一个时间梯度为1,3,8,15,25 a的弃耕演替系列,调查其群落数量特征、物种组成、植被与土壤的碳、氮储量,分析群落的自然次生演替过程,并探讨土壤碳库与氮库对植物群落演替的响应机制。结果表明,弃耕农田群落演替缓慢,阶段性不明显,大致可划分为一、二年生草本→多年生草本+灌木两个阶段。定植物种的多样性变化与附近的原生植被有关。在25 a的演替进程中,草本植物始终占据优势,旱生植物数量约是中生植物的4倍,C3植物数量逐渐增多;群落α多样性指数呈先增大后减小趋势,Margalef丰富度指数、Pielou均匀度指数与Shannon-Wiener综合多样性指数最大值分别为1.53、0.95、2.18,表明弃耕农田的自然演替促使群落结构更加复杂并趋向稳定。群落植物的碳、氮储量随着生物量的增加而增加,在25 a时分别达到313.14 g/m~2和11.69 g/m~2。土壤碳储量与氮储量的变化相反,在演替后期(25 a)土壤碳储量增加到960.98 g/m~2,而氮储量则降低至27.08 g/m~2,表明豫西弃耕农田土壤具有"固碳放氮"的生态现象。RDA分析表明,群落盖度、密度和生物量是影响土壤碳、氮储量的主要因子。从群落的生态功能变化分析,按照弃耕演替时间推进,土壤碳储量逐渐增大,有利于生态系统碳固定;而土壤氮库的缩减则不利于群落的稳定,建议增加群落中豆科植物的丰富度,从而促进土壤氮素固定,缓解氮素流失。     

土地利用变化对花岗岩红壤底土溶解性有机质数量和光谱特征的影响

了解底土溶解性有机质(DOM)的数量和化学结构对土地利用变化的响应,对科学评价区域土壤有机质动态和碳库稳定性具有重要意义。通过选取花岗岩红壤丘陵区同一景观单元的天然林地(常绿阔叶林)以及由此转变而来的杉木人工林、板栗园和坡耕地,采用化学分析结合光谱扫描(紫外光谱、二维荧光光谱和傅里叶变换红外光谱)技术,研究底土(0.2—1 m)和表土(0—0.2 m)DOM数量和结构对土地利用变化的响应差异,结果表明:58%—87%的DOM贮存在底土中。天然林地土壤的DOM数量最为丰富,底土DOM的宏观化学结构比表土更为简单,以碳水化合物、类蛋白为主。天然林转变为其他利用方式后,底土DOM的损失量(26%—41%)超过表土(12%—49%),冬季比夏季更为凸显;这反映底土DOM数量对人为干扰和植被变化的高度敏感性。同时,底土DOM宏观化学结构趋于复杂化,芳香类、烷烃类和烯烃类的化学抗性物质出现积累的现象。DOM光谱曲线形状、特定峰值、特征值对土地利用的响应敏感,对人为干扰后植被、土壤有机质的变化具有生态指示意义。研究显示,天然林地转变为其他利用方式后,不仅导致底土DOM的损失,也显著降低土壤有机质品质,长期上削弱底土的碳库稳定性和碳吸存能力。     

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentration and quality in a forested mid-Atlantic watershed, USA

Understanding the quantity and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in potential watershed sources is critical for explaining and quantifying the exports of DOM in stream runoff. Here, we examined the concentration and quality of DOM for ten watershed sources in a 12?ha forested catchment over a two-year period. DOM composition was evaluated for: throughfall, litter leachate, soil water (zero and tension), shallow and deep groundwater, stream water, hyporheic zone, and groundwater seeps. DOM quality was measured using a suite of optical indices including UV–visible absorbance and PARAFAC modeling of fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs). DOM concentrations and quality displayed a pronounced trend across watershed sources. Surficial watershed sources had higher DOM concentrations and more humic-like DOM with higher molecular weight whereas deeper groundwater sources were rich in % protein-like fluorescence. The greater % contribution of protein-like fluorescence in groundwater suggested that a larger fraction of groundwater DOM may be bioavailable. DOM for wetland groundwater was more aromatic and humic-like than that at the well-drained riparian location. Principal component analyses (PCA) revealed that the differences in surficial watershed compartments were dictated by humic-like components while groundwater sources separated out by % protein-like fluorescence. Observations from optical indices did not provide any conclusive evidence for preferential association of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) or dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) with any particular DOM quality pools.     

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.     

Increased soil carbon storage through plant diversity strengthens with time and extends into the subsoil

Soils are important for ecosystem functioning and service provisioning. Soil communities and their functions, in turn, are strongly promoted by plant diversity, and such positive effects strengthen with time. However, plant diversity effects on soil organic matter have mostly been investigated in the topsoil, and there are only very few long-term studies. Thus, it remains unclear if plant diversity effects strengthen with time and to which depth these effects extend. Here, we repeatedly sampled soil to 1 m depth in a long-term grassland biodiversity experiment. We investigated how plant diversity impacted soil organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations and stocks and their stable isotopes ¹³C and ¹⁵N, as well as how these effects changed after 5, 10, and 14 years. We found that higher plant diversity increased carbon and nitrogen storage in the topsoil since the establishment of the experiment. Stable isotopes revealed that these increases were associated with new plant-derived inputs, resulting in less processed and less decomposed soil organic matter. In subsoils, mainly the presence of specific plant functional groups drove organic matter dynamics. For example, the presence of deep-rooting tall herbs decreased carbon concentrations, most probably through stimulating soil organic matter decomposition. Moreover, plant diversity effects on soil organic matter became stronger in topsoil over time and reached subsoil layers, while the effects of specific plant functional groups in subsoil progressively diminished over time. Our results indicate that after changing the soil system the pathways of organic matter transfer to the subsoil need time to establish. In our grassland system, organic matter storage in subsoils was driven by the redistribution of already stored soil organic matter from the topsoil to deeper soil layers, for example, via bioturbation or dissolved organic matter. Therefore, managing plant diversity may, thus, have significant implications for subsoil carbon storage and other critical ecosystem services.     

Secondary successional patterns in a sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) community as they relate to soil disturbance and soil biological activity

The relationship between secondary succession, soil disturbance, and soil biological activity were studied on a sagebrush community (Artemisia tridentata) in the Piceance Basin of northwestern Colorado, U.S.A. Four levels of disturbance were imposed. I: the vegetation was mechanically removed and as much topsoil as possible was left; 2: the vegetation was mechanically removed and the topsoil scarified to a depth of 30 cm; 3: topsoil and subsoil were removed to a depth of 1 m, mixed and replaced; 4: topsoil and subsoil were removed to a depth of 2 m and replaced in a reverse order. Plant species composition, dehydrogenase and phosphatase enzymatic activity, mycorrhizae infection potentials, and percent organic matter were the variables measured.Treatment 4 drastically altered the pattern of vegetation succession. Treatments 2, 3, and 4 started with Salsola iberica as the dominant species but six years later, 3 and to lesser extent 2 changed in the direction of the species composition of 1, dominated by perennial grasses and perennial forbs. Treatment 4 developed a shrub dominated community. The rate of succession was not decreased by the increased levels of disturbance. Both dehydrogenase enzyme activity and mycorrhizae infection potential (MIP) increased with the change from Salsola iberica to a vegetation dominated by either perennial grasses and forbs or shrubs. The intensity of disturbance in 2, 3, and 4 reduced drastically dehydrogenase activity and MIP, but in six years they recovered to levels comparable to 1. Phosphatase enzyme activity and organic matter were unrelated to species composition but related to treatment and time elapsed. In both cases a significant decrease was observed throughout the six-year period.Nomenclature followsThis study was funded by the United States Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AS02-76EV04018.     

Land use and hydrologic flowpaths interact to affect dissolved organic matter and nitrate dynamics

The transport and transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) through the soil profile impact down-gradient ecosystems and are increasingly recognized as important factors affecting the balance between accumulation and mineralization of subsoil organic matter. Using zero tension and tension lysimeters at three soil depths (20, 40, 60 cm) in paired forest and maize/soybean land uses, we compared dissolved organic C (DOC), dissolved organic N (DON) and DIN concentrations as well as DOM properties including hydrophilic-C (HPI-C), UV absorption (SUVA₂₅₄), humification index and C/N ratio. Soil moisture data collected at lysimeter locations suggest zero tension lysimeters sampled relatively rapid hydrologic flowpaths that included downward saturated flow through the soil matrix and/or rapid macropore flow that is not in equilibrium with bulk soil solution whereas tension lysimeters sampled relatively immobile soil matrix solution during unsaturated conditions. The effect of land use on DOC and DON concentrations was largely limited to the most shallow (20 cm) sampling depth where DOC concentrations were greater in the forest (only zero tension lysimeters) and DON concentrations were greater in the cropland (both lysimeter types). In contrast to DOC and DON concentrations, the effect of land use on DOM properties persisted to the deepest sampling depth (60 cm), suggesting that DOM in the cropland was more decomposed regardless of lysimeter type. DOC concentrations and DOM properties differed between lysimeter types only in the forest at 20 cm where soil solutions collected with zero tension lysimeters had greater DOC concentrations, greater SUVA₂₅₄, greater humification index and lower HPI-C. Our data highlight the importance of considering DOM quality in addition to DOC quantity, and indicate long-term cultivation reduced the delivery of relatively less decomposed DOM to all soil depths.     

华南典型树种凋落叶的野外分解和溶解性有机质溶出动态

选用华南亚热带地区常见阔叶树种木荷和针叶树种湿地松的新近凋落叶,在野外分解0、30、60、90、150、210、240、365 d,分析溶出的溶解性有机质(DOM)浓度、组成和性质的变化,以及对土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)的影响.结果表明: 随着分解的进行,尽管木荷叶片的DOM浓度高于松针,但是2种凋落叶DOM浓度、性质和物质组成变化规律一致;2种凋落叶的DOM浓度均呈下降趋势,芳香化程度和分子量增大,富里酸、腐殖酸类物质逐渐增多,可降解的简单芳烃蛋白(如酪氨酸)逐渐减少.在分解初期,DOM主要由亲水中性和酸性部分组成,易分解、易迁移,对表层土壤DOC影响不显著;在分解后期,DOM主要为腐殖酸和富里酸类物质,吸附性强,表层土壤DOC浓度显著下降.     

亚热带米槠林不同更新方式对土壤可溶性有机质降解性的影响

可溶性有机质(DOM)的生物降解性影响着土壤有机质的存留和释放,对深入认识森林土壤养分循环意义重大。为探究森林更新对土壤DOM降解特征的影响,选取亚热带地区米槠天然林(NF)、米槠次生林(SF)和米槠人工促进天然更新林(AR)土壤DOM溶液为研究对象,进行室内降解(42 d)试验。结果表明: 1)3种林分土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)的降解率和易降解DOC的比例均为SF>AR>NF;可溶性有机氮(DON)和微生物生物量碳(MBC)是显著影响易降解DOC比例的因子;2)难降解组分占3种林分土壤DOC的大部分(72.3%～94.6%),其周转时间长,有利于稳定土壤有机质(SOC)的形成;3)土壤DOM最初的腐殖化指数(HIX_em)会影响易降解DOC的周转时间。DOM光谱结构随降解过程呈现动态变化,说明DOM中易降解组分被消耗完后,微生物会转而降解芳香类和疏水性物质以获取碳源。综上,米槠天然林更新为次生林和人促林后增加了易降解DOC的比例,提高了土壤DOM生物可降解性,不利于SOC的积累。     

植被恢复对侵蚀红壤可溶性有机质含量及光谱学特征的影响

为了解植被恢复对侵蚀红壤可溶性有机质含量及结构特征的影响, 以福建省长汀县河田镇植被恢复后的侵蚀红壤及对照裸地为研究对象, 对两试验地0-60 cm深土壤中可溶性有机质的含量及光谱学特征进行了比较研究。结果表明: 侵蚀红壤植被恢复后, 土壤可溶性有机碳含量显著提高, 在土表到60 cm深度的6个10 cm土层中, 植被恢复土壤可溶性有机碳含量分别提高为对照裸地相应土层的5.6、4.7、4.6、3.1、2.4及2.2倍。可溶性有机氮含量在两试验地之间的差异在各土层中不一致。植被恢复各土层侵蚀红壤可溶性有机质的芳香化指数显著高于对照裸地, 荧光发射光谱腐殖化指数略高于对照裸地, 植被恢复后的侵蚀红壤与对照裸地间荧光同步光谱腐殖化指数无明显差异。荧光同步光谱图中, 两试验地侵蚀红壤可溶性有机质的吸收主要为类蛋白质及芳香性脂肪族荧光基团的吸收。傅里叶红外光谱结果显示, 与对照裸地相比, 植被恢复后的侵蚀红壤土壤可溶性有机质中官能团种类更多, 且含有更多芳香碳及羧基碳。两试验地土壤可溶性有机质均表现为芳香化及腐殖化程度随土层的加深而降低。相关性分析显示, 土壤可溶性有机质的芳香化及腐殖化指数与土壤碳氮总量有极显著正相关关系。总之, 侵蚀红壤经植被恢复后, 土壤可溶性有机碳含量及可溶性有机质的芳香化指数显著提高, 可溶性有机质的腐殖化指数略有增大, 可溶性有机质结构更复杂, 更不易被分解, 因此有利于土壤肥力的恢复。
