X射线对我国两种典型土壤中微生物活性及群落结构的影响

【目的】X射线断层扫描技术(X-ray micro-Computed Tomography,micro-CT)能够原位、无损伤的解析土壤物理结构,有望与土壤微生物研究结合,以有助于更好的了解土壤生态系统。由于土壤的高度异质性,X射线扫描和土壤微生物分析应为同一样品,但是关于X射线扫描后的土壤样品是否兼容土壤微生物分析却鲜有报道,即X射线扫描是否影响土壤微生物的活性及群落尚未明确。【方法】本研究采集我国华北地区潮土和亚热带红壤,利用平板计数、微量热技术和高通量测序技术研究了X射线扫描对可培养微生物数量、土壤微生物的代谢热和群落结构的影响。【结果】X射线辐射显著降低了2种土壤中活体细菌的数量,同时微生物的代谢活性也发生改变;在分子水平上,基于细菌16S r RNA基因的高通量数据显示2种土壤的细菌多样性指数发生了变化,而其群落结构均无改变。【结论】X射线断层扫描技术并不兼容土壤微生物功能的研究;但可兼容基于分子生物学的微生物群落结构分析。     

造纸废水灌溉对黄河三角洲盐碱地土壤酶活性的影响

造纸废水含有大量有机营养物质,经生物塘处理后灌溉退化滨海盐碱地可以有效改善土壤化学性质。分析了不同灌溉方式对土壤脲酶、磷酸酶、脱氢酶活性的影响。结果表明：在废水灌溉、清污轮灌和清水灌溉3种处理下,棉田土壤的脲酶、磷酸酶和脱氢酶活性均有显著提高;同样,清污轮灌模式下,轻度、中度及重度盐碱化土壤的脲酶、磷酸酶和脱氢酶活性也均有较显著的提高。较之棉田土壤和轻度盐碱化土壤,中度和重度盐碱化土壤酶活性的提高更为显著,具体表现为,与对照相比,中度盐碱化土壤的脲酶、磷酸酶以及脱氢酶活性分别提高了44.7%、15.6%、12.4%, 重度盐碱化土壤分别提高了823%、551%、320%。研究证明造纸废水灌溉不但可以提升退化盐碱地的土壤肥力,还可以显著提高退化盐碱地的土壤酶活性。     

三峡水库泄水期消落带土壤微生物活性

以三峡库区香溪河消落带土壤为对象,研究泄水期(5-8月)消落带不同海拔土壤理化性质及微生物活性,旨在揭示三峡库区消落带土壤质量变化趋势.结果表明:随着海拔降低、淹水强度增强,消落带土壤含水量增加,pH值上升,土壤微生物生物量和微生物熵逐渐降低,土壤代谢熵显著增加,干湿交替区165 m以下土壤代谢熵显著高于未淹没区175 ～185 m.表明香溪河消落带低海拔土壤受江水淹没胁迫,pH值趋于碱性,土壤环境质量降低,不适宜微生物的生长.消落带各海拔土壤SOC、TN和C/N无显著差异;但干湿交替区土壤SOC、TN和C/N的变异系数降低,表明干湿交替是影响库区消落带土壤碳、氮分布的重要因子.相关分析显示,土壤C/N与SOC呈极显著正相关,说明香溪河消落带C/N的变化主要由SOC决定.

华南丘陵区不同土地利用方式下土壤呼吸

采用静态箱-气相色谱法对华南丘陵区针叶林和果园土壤呼吸及其主要影响因子进行了观测。结果表明:针叶林和果园含凋落物年均土壤呼吸分别为(1.96±0.09)和(6.56±0.32)kg.m-2.a-1;不含凋落物年均土壤呼吸分别为(1.60±0.07)和(5.30±2.80)kg.m-2.a-1。土地利用方式对土壤呼吸的影响较大,果园土壤呼吸明显大于针叶林(P<0.01)。针叶林和果园土壤呼吸季节变化模式相似,即雨季较高而旱季较低。不同土地利用方式下不同处理土壤呼吸均与地下5cm土壤温度、地表温度和气温呈显著指数相关。利用Q10模型计算出针叶林和果园土壤呼吸Q10值变化范围在1.73～3.30。土壤呼吸与土壤含水量显著相关。温度和土壤含水量能部分解释针叶林和果园土壤呼吸的季节变化。针叶林和果园由凋落物分解释放的CO2对土壤呼吸的贡献分别为18.14%和19.08%。

Effect of alginite amendment on microbial activity and soil water content in forest soils

The effect of the amendment with alginite, an organic rock originating from the biomass of fossilized unicellular algae, on microbial activity of forest soils was tested using a pot experiment. Five variants of soil-alginite mixtures were tested in three replicates with two forest soils: a loose sandy soil and a sandy loam. Gravimetric moisture closely correlated with the dose of alginite in both soils. Basal respiration and catalase activity increased with the dose of alginite in the sandy soil, but not in the sandy loam, where the highest response was observed at intermediate doses of alginite. The correlations of microbial activity parameters with moisture in the sandy soil were also much closer than in the sandy loam. The amendment with alginite was thus effective in improving some of the selected microbial activity indicators, but the optimum dose of alginite strongly depends on soil texture.     

不同秸秆还田和耕作方式对夏玉米农田土壤呼吸及微生物活性的影响

采用基质诱导呼吸法和CO2释放量法,研究了冬小麦季长期不同耕作方式(常规翻耕、免耕和深松)和秸秆处理(秸秆还田和无秸秆还田)对夏玉米田土壤呼吸及微生物活性的影响.结果表明:秸秆还田和保护性耕作主要在O～ 10 cm土层起作用.秸秆还田能明显提高土壤微生物生物量碳和微生物活性,降低呼吸熵,在苗期和开花期提高土壤呼吸,而在灌浆期、腊熟期和收获期降低土壤呼吸;在相同秸秆处理条件下,深松和免耕比常规翻耕能显著降低土壤呼吸和呼吸熵,提高微生物生物量碳和微生物活性.整个生育期,秸秆还田结合保护性耕作能显著提高微生物生物量碳和微生物活性,降低呼吸熵,与常规翻耕无秸秆还田相比,深松秸秆还田和免耕秸秆还田0～10 cm土层微生物生物量碳平均提高了95.8％和74.3％,微生物活性提高了97.1％和74.2％.     

不同灌水施肥策略对土壤微生物量碳氮和酶活性的影响

根区局部灌溉形成一个土壤水分分布不均匀的环境,影响了土壤微生物量和酶活性。为探明这种影响,在2种灌水水平(正常灌水和轻度缺水)和2种有机无机N肥配施(单施无机N肥和有机无机N肥配施)下,以常规灌溉(CI)为对照,研究分根区交替灌溉(AI)和固定部分根区灌溉(FI)对土壤微生物量C(MBC)、微生物量N(MBN)和酶活性的影响。与CI相比,AI提高拔节期土壤MBC和抽雄期土壤脲酶活性,但是降低大喇叭口期土壤MBC以及拔节期和抽雄期土壤MBN和拔节期土壤脲酶活性;FI增加抽雄期土壤转化酶活性,但是降低大喇叭口期土壤MBC和可溶性碳(DOC)以及3个时期土壤MBN。与正常灌水相比,AI下轻度亏水增加拔节期和抽雄期土壤DOC,但是降低大喇叭口期土壤MBC和拔节期土壤MBN。与单施无机N肥相比,AI下有机无机N肥配施增加拔节期土壤DOC、MBN和过氧化氢酶活性,而FI下则降低大喇叭口期土壤MBC和转化酶活性。因此,在轻度缺水和有机无机氮配施条件下,分根区交替灌溉可以提高玉米拔节期土壤微生物量碳和可溶性碳。     

长期灌溉含多环芳烃污水对稻田土壤酶活性与微生物种群数量的影响

以沈抚污水灌区为例,研究了长期灌溉含多环芳烃(PAHs)污水对稻田土壤酶活性、微生物种群数量的影响。结果表明,灌区稻田土壤PAHs含量在319.5～6362.8μg.kg-1。长期污水灌溉导致稻田土壤PAHs含量严重超过环境标准。随清水连续灌溉年限的增加,土壤PAHs总量不同程度降低直至低于土壤PAHs环境质量标准。相关性分析表明,在目前污染程度下,灌区稻田3大土壤微生物类群和主要功能群的种群数量主要受土壤理化性质的影响,受PAHs含量影响不明显。土壤全氮含量与细菌数量呈极显著正相关(P<0.01)。土壤酶活性受到土壤养分和PAHs污染的双重影响,土壤有机碳和全磷含量分别与脱氢酶、多酚氧化酶和脲酶活性呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),PAHs含量分别与脱氢酶和脲酶活性呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),与多酚氧化酶活性呈显著正相关(P<0.05)。     

土壤微生物总活性研究方法进展

微生物总活性是指在某一时段内微生物所有生命活动的总和,它直接决定着微生物行使生理、生态功能的能力,是微生物学研究的热点,也是难点。迄今为止,还没有建立直接测定微生物总活性的方法,只能用一些相关指标来间接反映它。目前常用的指标主要包括微生物的呼吸速率、生长速率以及胞内RNA含量等。与其它一些基质和环境相比,测定土壤中的微生物总活性更为困难。通过总结研究土壤微生物总活性常用的3种方法,在简略概括传统的土壤微生物呼吸测定法的基础上,详细介绍了放射性同位素标记法和RNA直接表征法的原理和操作流程,整理归纳了一些重要应用案例,比较分析了不同方法的优缺点,以期为选择研究土壤微生物总活性的适宜方法提供依据。     

Microcalorimetric assessment of microbial activity in long-term fertilization experimental soils of Southern China

Microcalorimetry, plate count and PCR–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) were employed to investigate microbial diversity and activity in soils from the Red Soil Experimental Station of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hunan Province, China, where a wheat–corn rotation with 12 fertilization treatments was established in 1990. Fertilization greatly increased microbial biomass carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) (C_mic and N_mic) as well as the activities of phosphatase, urease, invertase, protease, catalase and dehydrogenase. Manure alone (M) enhanced the number of denitrifying and aerobic bacteria by 54.4% and 20.5%, respectively, whereas fallow (H) increased the number of aerobic cellulose decomposing bacteria by 31.4%. Fallow and soils amended with mineral fertilizers plus pig manure or straw increased both the DGGE band patterns and the Shannon index compared with mineral fertilizers or the control. Mineral treatments with lower bacterial numbers enhanced the values of the peak time ( t _max) more than did organic treatments. The peak height ( P _max) was positively correlated ( P <0.01), with soil enzymes, C_mic and N_mic, and the number of microorganisms, whereas the peak time ( t _max) was negatively connected ( P <0.01) with these parameters. The microbial growth rate constant ( k ) was linked to bacteria ( P <0.01), actinomycetes ( P <0.05) and catalase ( P <0.05). The total heat evolution ( Q ) had no relationships with any soil microbial properties (except for catalase). We propose that P _max and t _max could be used as indices of soil microbial activity, while the values of k and Q are poor indicators.     

Effects of bleaching wastewater irrigation on soil quality of constructed reed wetlands

Constructed reed wetland microcosms (CRWs) in a lab of east China have been irrigated with bleaching wastewater per month for a reed growth season. The soil physicochemical properties, enzyme activities (i.e. urease, invertase, polyphenol oxidase, alkaline phosphatase and cellulase) and soil microbial diversity were assayed before and after the exposure experiment. Compared to the river water irrigated controls (CKs), bleaching wastewater application has no marked influence on soil pH, but significantly increased soil Na⁺, total halogen and absorbable organic halogen (AOX) contents, which induced the increasing of soil electrical conductivity. Furthermore, soil enzyme activities displayed significant variation (except for polyphenol oxidase). Bleaching wastewater irrigation decreased Sorenson’s pairwise similarity coefficient (C_s), which indicated the changes of the structure of bacterial and fungal communities. However, only the diversity of bacterial community was inhibited and has no effect on the diversity of fungal community, as evidenced by the calculated Shannon–Wiener index (H).     

Methodological aspects of microcalorimetry used to assess the dynamics of microbial activity during composting

Isothermal microcalorimetry is a sensitive non-invasive analytical tool that can become useful in research on compost and other biosolids. The aim of the present study was to address several methodological aspects that are critical to the use of microcalorimetry to assess the dynamics of microbial activity in such systems. The results show that: (1) The calorimetric baseline is strongly influenced by the run temperature in the range relevant to composting systems (20–60 °C), and is also affected by addition of the water that is required to maintain or optimize microbial activity, presumably because some water evaporates through ampoule gaskets. (2) Amending mature compost with readily available substrates requires additional careful baseline treatment. (3) Sample heterogeneity can be successfully minimized by passing through a 2-mm sieve. Additional size separation can be useful to enable focusing on the more active fractions. (4) Oxygen depletion is a key feature in batch calorimetric analysis; for samples of highly active composts or manure, the total amount of heat released relative to the oxygen available in the ampoule may indicate the co-existence of anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways. Finally, practical recommendations for microcalorimetry analyses of pre-mature and mature composts are outlined.     

Separating root and soil microbial contributions to soil respiration: A review of methods and observations

Forest soil respiration is the sum of heterotrophic (microbes, soil fauna) and autotrophic (root) respiration. The contribution of each group needs to be understood to evaluate implications of environmental change on soil carbon cycling and sequestration. Three primary methods have been used to distinguish hetero- versus autotrophic soil respiration including: integration of components contributing to in situ forest soil CO₂ efflux (i.e., litter, roots, soil), comparison of soils with and without root exclusion, and application of stable or radioactive isotope methods. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages, but isotope based methods provide quantitative answers with the least amount of disturbance to the soil and roots. Published data from all methods indicate that root/rhizosphere respiration can account for as little as 10 percent to greater than 90 percent of total in situ soil respiration depending on vegetation type and season of the year. Studies which have integrated percent root contribution to total soil respiration throughout an entire year or growing season show mean values of 45.8 and 60.4 percent for forest and nonforest vegetation, respectively. Such average annual values must be extrapolated with caution, however, because the root contribution to total soil respiration is commonly higher during the growing season and lower during the dormant periods of the year.
