Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) enhanced phytoremediation (PEP) is an attractive remedial strategy for the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and heavy metal (HM) contaminated sites. The effect of PGPB; Pseudomonas putida UW4 inoculation on the phytoremediation efficiency of Medicago sativa, Festuca arundinacea, Lolium perenne, and mixed plants (L. perenne and F. arundinacea) was assessed. This involved two contaminant treatments; “PAH” (phenanthrene; 300?mg·kg?1, fluoranthene; 200?mg·kg?1, and benzo[a]pyrene; 5?mg·kg?1) and “PAH?+?HM” (‘PAH’ treatments +100?mg of Pb/kg). PGPB inoculation significantly enhanced root biomass yield of F. arundinacea in PAH treatment, and the mixed plant shoot biomass and L. perenne root biomass yields of the PAH?+?HM treatment. PGPB significantly enhanced dissipation of phenanthrene and fluoranthene for M. sativa-PAH?+?PGPB treatment and fluoranthene for F. arundinacea-PAH?+?HM?+?PGPB treatment. In others, PGPB inoculation either had no impact or inhibited PAH dissipation. PAH dissipation for the single and mixed plant treatments with PGPB inoculation were not different. The efficiency of PEP is dependent on different factors such as PGPB inoculum biomass, plant species, plant–microbe specificity and type of contaminants. Exploiting PEP technology would require proper understanding of plant tolerance and growth promoting mechanisms, and rhizosphere activities. 相似文献

Aims
We investigated how rhizosphere factors (total rhizosphere, roots, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal hyphae [AMF], and soil solution) and water availability affect interactions between neighboring Medicago sativa plants.Methods
A three-compartment mesocosm was used to test the effects of rhizosphere factors on plant–plant interactions. A relative interaction index (RII) was calculated to indicate whether effects of neighbor plant on target plant were positive or negative (facilitative or competitive). Isotope tracers were used to test whether AMF hyphae mediated competition for nitrogen (N) between target and neighbor plants.Results
The effects of rhizosphere factors on the interactions between neighboring M. sativa plants depended on water availability. The effects of total rhizosphere shifted RII from negative to positive as water availability increased. Interaction with the roots and rhizosphere soil solution of neighbor plants shifted RII from negative to positive as water availability increased but the opposite was true for AMF hyphae. AMF hyphae helped neighbor plants compete for 15N when water was available but not when water was limiting.Conclusions
The effect of total rhizosphere on plant–plant interaction of M. sativa shifted from competitive to facilitative as water availability increased. Competition was reduced by neighboring soil solution and roots but was increased by AMF hyphae. 相似文献3.

Background and aims
Australian herbaceous native species have evolved in phosphorus (P) impoverished soils. Our objective was to explore shoot and root adaptations of two of these species with potential to be developed as pasture plants, at low, moderate and high P supply after 4 and 7?weeks of growth.Methods
A glasshouse experiment examined the effect of 5, 20 and 80?mg?P?kg?1 air-dry soil on growth, rhizosphere carboxylate content, and mineral nutrition of two Australian native perennials, Kennedia nigricans (Fabaceae) and Ptilotus polystachyus (Amaranthaceae), and the exotic Medicago sativa (Fabaceae).Key results
Leaf P concentrations at P80 were 6, 14 and 52?mg?P?g?1 leaf dry weight for M. sativa, K. nigricans and P. polystachyus, respectively. As soil P concentration increased, rhizosphere carboxylate content decreased for M. sativa, increased and then decreased for K. nigricans and was unchanged for P. polystachyus. For all species, the contribution of malic acid declined at the second harvest. For all species and P treatments, the amount of rhizosphere carboxylates per unit root length decreased as root length of a plant increased. Plant P content was determined more by P uptake rate per unit root length and time than by root length. Uptake of Mo for all species, and uptake of K, Mg and Mn for P. polystachyus, increased with soil P concentration. Uptake of Fe and S was higher when the content of carboxylates in the rhizosphere was higher.Conclusion
Root physiological adaptations (i.e. rhizosphere carboxylate content and P-uptake rate) are more important than morphological adaptations (i.e. root length and diameter) to enhance the uptake of P and cations. 相似文献4.
LEGUME-GRASS INTERCROPPING PHYTOREMEDIATION OF PHTHALIC ACID ESTERS IN SOIL NEAR AN ELECTRONIC WASTE RECYCLING SITE: A FIELD STUDY 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A field experiment was conducted to study the phytoremediation of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) by legume (alfalfa, Medicago sativa L.)-grass (perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne L. and tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea) intercropping in contaminated agricultural soil at one of the largest e-waste recycling sites in China. Two compounds, DEHP and DnBP, were present in the soil and in the shoots of the test plants at much higher concentrations than the other target PAEs studied. Over 80% of ‘total’ (i.e., all six) PAEs were removed from the soil across all treatments by the end of the experiment. Alfalfa in monoculture removed over 90% of PAEs and alfalfa in the intercrop of the three plant species contained the highest shoot concentration of total PAEs of about 4.7 mg kg?1 DW (dry weight). Calculation of phytoextraction efficiency indicated that the most effective plant combinations in eliminating soil PAEs were the three-species intercrop (1.78%) and the alfalfa monocrop (1.41%). Phytoremediation with alfalfa was effective in both monoculture and intercropping. High bioconcentration factors (BCFs) indicated the occurrence of significant extraction of PAEs by plants from soil, suggesting that phytoremediation may have potential for the removal of PAEs from contaminated soils. 相似文献

The capability of plants to promote the microbial degradation of pollutants in rhizosphere soil is a principal mechanism of phytoremediation of PAH-contaminated soil. The formation of a specific rhizosphere microbocenosis with a high degradative potential toward contaminants is largely determined by plant species. The comparative PAH-degradation in unplanted soil and in soil planted with reed (Phragmites australis) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) was studied in pot experiments during 2 years. Both alfalfa and reed successfully remediated contaminated soil by degrading 74.5 and 68.7% of PAHs, respectively. The study of the rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and unplanted-soil microflora in experimental pots showed that alfalfa stimulated the rhizosphere microflora of PAH-contaminated soil more effectively than did reed. Alfalfa clearly enhanced both the total number of microorganisms (1.3 times, according to fluorescence microscopy data) and the rate of the PAH-degrading population (almost seven times, according to plate counting). The degradative potential of its rhizosphere microflora toward PAHs was higher than the degradative activity of the reed rhizosphere. This study provides relevant information for the successful application of alfalfa to phytoremediate PAH-contaminated soil. 相似文献

Variation in morphological and physiological parameters in herbaceous perennial legumes in response to phosphorus supply 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Jiayin Pang Megan H. Ryan Mark Tibbett Gregory R. Cawthray Kadambot H. M. Siddique Mike D. A. Bolland Matthew D. Denton Hans Lambers 《Plant and Soil》2010,331(1-2):241-255
Change in morphological and physiological parameters in response to phosphorus (P) supply was studied in 11 perennial herbaceous legume species, six Australian native (Lotus australis, Cullen australasicum, Kennedia prorepens, K. prostrata, Glycine canescens, C. tenax) and five exotic species (Medicago sativa, Lotononis bainesii, Bituminaria bituminosa var albomarginata, Lotus corniculatus, Macroptilium bracteatum). We aimed to identify mechanisms for P acquisition from soil. Plants were grown in sterilised washed river sand; eight levels of P as KH2PO4 ranging from 0 to 384 μg P g?1 soil were applied. Plant growth under low-P conditions strongly correlated with physiological P-use efficiency and/or P-uptake efficiency. Taking all species together, at 6 μg P g?1 soil there was a good correlation between P uptake and both root surface area and total root length. All species had higher amounts of carboxylates in the rhizosphere under a low level of P application. Six of the 11 species increased the fraction of rhizosphere citrate in response to low P, which was accompanied by a reduction in malonate, except L. corniculatus. In addition, species showed different plasticity in response to P-application levels and different strategies in response to P deficiency. Our results show that many of the 11 species have prospects for low-input agroecosystems based on their high P-uptake and P-use efficiency. 相似文献

Effect of Field Inoculation with Sinorhizobium meliloti L33 on the Composition of Bacterial Communities in Rhizospheres of a Target Plant (Medicago sativa) and a Non-Target Plant (Chenopodium album)—Linking of 16S rRNA Gene-Based Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism Community Profiles to the Diversity of Cultivated Bacteria

Fourteen weeks after field release of luciferase gene-tagged Sinorhizobium meliloti L33 in field plots seeded with Medicago sativa, we found that the inoculant also occurred in bulk soil from noninoculated control plots. In rhizospheres of M. sativa plants, S. meliloti L33 could be detected in noninoculated plots 12 weeks after inoculation, indicating that growth in the rhizosphere preceded spread into bulk soil. To determine whether inoculation affected bacterial diversity, 1,119 bacteria were isolated from the rhizospheres of M. sativa and Chenopodium album, which was the dominant weed in the field plots. Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) revealed plant-specific fragment size frequencies. Dominant ARDRA groups were identified by 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequencing. Database comparisons indicated that the rhizospheres contained members of the Proteobacteria (α, β, and γ subgroups), members of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium group, and gram-positive bacteria with high G+C DNA contents. The levels of many groups were affected by the plant species and, in the case of M. sativa, by inoculation. The most abundant isolates were related to Variovorax sp., Arthrobacter ramosus, and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. In the rhizosphere of M. sativa, inoculation reduced the numbers of cells of A. calcoaceticus and members of the genus Pseudomonas and increased the number of rhizobia. Cultivation-independent PCR–single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) profiles of a 16S rRNA gene region confirmed the existence of plant-specific rhizosphere communities and the effect of the inoculant. All dominant ARDRA groups except Variovorax species could be detected. On the other hand, the SSCP profiles revealed products which could not be assigned to the dominant cultured isolates, indicating that the bacterial diversity was greater than the diversity suggested by cultivation. 相似文献

The addition of streptomycin to nonsterile soil suppressed the numbers of bacterial cells in the rhizosphere of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for several days, resulted in the enhanced growth of a streptomycin-resistant strain of Rhizobium meliloti, and increased the numbers of nodules on the alfalfa roots. A bacterial mixture inoculated into sterile soil inhibited the colonization of alfalfa roots by R. meliloti, caused a diminution in the number of nodules, and reduced plant growth. Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas marginalis, Acinetobacter sp., and Klebsiella pneumoniae suppressed the colonization by R. meliloti of roots grown on agar and reduced nodulation by R. meliloti, the suppression of nodulation being statistically significant for the first three species. Bradyrhizobium sp. and “Sarcina lutea” did not suppress root colonization nor nodulation by R. meliloti. The doubling times in the rhizosphere for E. aerogenes, P. marginalis, Acinetobacter sp., and K. pneumoniae were less and the doubling times for Bradyrhizobium sp. and “S. lutea” were greater than the doubling time of R. meliloti. Under the same conditions, Arthrobacter citreus injured alfalfa roots. We suggest that competition by soil bacteria reduces nodulation by rhizobia in soil and that the extent of inhibition is related to the growth rates of the rhizosphere bacteria. 相似文献

Background and aims
The selective inoculation of specific hydrocarbon-degrading microbes into the plant rhizosphere offers a useful means for remediating hydrocarbon-contaminated soils. The effect of inoculating a seed-borne filamentous fungus (Lewia sp.) on hydrocarbon removal by Festuca arundinacea and its growth was studied on perlite (model soil) and soil, both spiked with hydrocarbons.Methods
A hydrocarbon mixture (1,500 mg kg?1) of two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), phenanthrene and pyrene, blended with hexadecane (1.0:0.5:0.5 weight) was used. Greenhouse experiments were carried out for 45 days. Inoculated and non-inoculated plants were grown in dark cylindrical glass pots containing perlite or soil.Results
Inoculation with Lewia sp. stimulated (100 %) root growth in spiked perlite. Inoculated plants showed higher phenanthrene removal (100 %) compared to non-inoculated plants in perlite and soil. Pyrene removal by inoculated plants was 37-fold higher than that by non-inoculated plants in perlite; in soil, pyrene removal by inoculated plants (97.9 %) differed significantly from that of non-inoculated plants (91.4 %). Accumulation of pyrene in roots (530.9 mg kg?1 of dry roots) was promoted in perlite.Conclusions
Our results demonstrate that Lewia sp. (endophytic fungus) improved the efficiency of PAH removal by F. arundinacea, on both perlite and soil, stimulating pyrene accumulation in roots. 相似文献11.
Prescribed fire has become a common tool of natural area managers for removal of non‐indigenous invasive species and maintenance of barrens plant communities. Certain non‐native species, such as tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), tolerate fire and may require additional removal treatments. We studied changes in soil N and C dynamics after prescribed fire and herbicide application in remnant barrens in west central Kentucky. The effects of a single spring burn post‐emergence herbicide, combined fire and herbicide treatments, and an unburned no‐herbicide control were compared on five replicate blocks. In fire‐plus‐herbicide plots, fescue averaged 8% at the end of the growing season compared with 46% fescue cover in control plots. The extent of bare soil increased from near 0 in control to 11% in burned plots and 25% in fire‐plus‐herbicide plots. Over the course of the growing season, fire had little effect on soil N pools or processes. Fire caused a decline in soil CO2 flux in parallel to decreased soil moisture. When applied alone, herbicide increased plant‐available soil N slightly but had no effect on soil respiration, moisture, or temperature. Fire‐plus‐herbicide significantly increased plant‐available soil N and net N transformation rates; soil respiration declined by 33%. Removal of non‐native plants modified the chemical, physical, and biological soil conditions that control availability of plant nutrients and influence plant species performance and community composition. 相似文献

Background and aims
We carried out field experiments to investigate if an agricultural grassland mixture comprising shallow- (perennial ryegrass: Lolium perenne L.; white clover: Trifolium repens L.) and deep- (chicory: Cichorium intybus L.; Lucerne: Medicago sativa L.) rooting grassland species has greater herbage yields than a shallow-rooting two-species mixture and pure stands, if deep-rooting grassland species are superior in accessing soil 15N from 1.2 m soil depth compared with shallow-rooting plant species and vice versa, if a mixture of deep- and shallow-rooting plant species has access to greater amounts of soil 15N compared with a shallow-rooting binary mixture, and if leguminous plants affect herbage yield and soil 15N-access.Methods
15N-enriched ammonium-sulphate was placed at three different soil depths (0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 m) to determine the depth dependent soil 15N-access of pure stands, two-species and four-species grassland communities.Results
Herbage yield and soil 15N-access of the mixture including deep- and shallow-rooting grassland species were generally greater than the pure stands and the two-species mixture, except for herbage yield in pure stand lucerne. This positive plant diversity effect could not be explained by complementary soil 15N-access of the different plant species from 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 m soil depths, even though deep-rooting chicory acquired relatively large amounts of deep soil 15N and shallow-rooting perennial ryegrass when grown in a mixture relatively large amounts of shallow soil 15N. Legumes fixed large amounts of N2, added and spared N for non-leguminous plants, which especially stimulated the growth of perennial ryegrass.Conclusions
Our study showed that increased plant diversity in agricultural grasslands can have positive effects on the environment (improved N use may lead to reduced N leaching) and agricultural production (increased herbage yield). A complementary effect between legumes and non-leguminous plants and increasing plant diversity had a greater positive impact on herbage yield compared with complementary vertical soil 15N-access. 相似文献13.
The grass Festuca arundinacea is often planted for slope stabilisation in South Korea, and is spreading widely beyond the introduction sites. This study used a functional group approach to examine the resistance of plant combinations to invasion by F. arundinacea based on the limiting similarity and diversity-resistance hypotheses, and to elucidate the process of colonisation. The study simulated the environment of construction sites and surrounding areas that might be encountered by expanding populations of F. arundinacea. The role of nutrient condition in the ranking of functional group competitive ability was also examined. Twelve native plant species were categorised into three functional groups using combinations of functional traits. Pairwise (one-to-one competition), multiple (four different neighbouring species) and monoculture experimental settings were designed using two nutrient levels. The Relative Competition Index was used to interpret the competitive effect of neighbouring species on F. arundinacea. Species of the same functional group as F. arundinacea were unable to resist invasion, but annual plants with niche preemption ability could outcompete it. Competitive relationships between native plants and F. arundinacea were explained partially by functional group identity but were inconsistent with the limiting similarity hypothesis and the diversity-interaction. Unforeseen interactions within the artificial communities also produced unexpected effects. In designing artificial plant communities, it is necessary to consider functional traits that reflect the species characteristic of particular periods and indirect effects that modify the interaction between other species. 相似文献

Plant species generate specific soil communities that feedback on plant growth and competition. These feedbacks have been implicated in plant community composition and dispersion. We used Lactuca sativa and its wild progenitor Lactuca serriola to test the hypotheses that separate Lactuca species generate unique soil communities and that these soil communities differentially influence host, and neighboring, plant growth and competition. We grew each Lactuca in competition with the other, in sterile and non-sterile soils. We then examined the growth of each Lactuca species in sterile, non-sterile, and preconditioned soil. Finally, we used TRFLP techniques to explore whether the two Lactuca species generate significantly different bacterial communities in their rhizosphere soils. L. sativa proved to be the stronger competitor of the two species. However, sterilization increased the competitive effect of L. serriola background competitors. The growth experiment showed a significant effect on plant species, soil treatment, and the interaction of the two. Preconditioning soil caused reduced growth in both Lactuca species. Only L. serriola showed significantly increased growth in sterile soils. Our TRFLP analysis showed that the L. sativa soil community was significantly less diverse and that soil preconditioning had the largest impact on the community composition. These results show that Lactuca serriola’s rhizosphere communities generate a stronger negative feedback for plant growth than do the communities associated with L. sativa. Our study suggests that selection for plants that are able to grow in dense monoculture may have released Lactuca from species-specific negative soil feedbacks. This has important implications for both agriculture and the evolution of invasive plant species. 相似文献

Actinomycete complexes were studied in the rhizosphere of three crop species using luminescence microscopy and plating. The concentration of the total prokaryotic biomass and the length of actinomycete mycelium proved higher in the rhizosphere than in root-free soil. Actinomycetes in the rhizosphere of oats (Avena sativa L.), winter rye (Secale cereale L.), and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) were represented by the genera Streptomyces and Micromonospora and oligosporous species. The length and biomass of actinomycete mycelium proved to decrease while the generic diversity increased in the following sequence: winter rye—oats—red clover. Increasing soil suppression and plant resistance to phytopathogens using mycelial prokaryotes is discussed in the context of environmental safety. 相似文献

An in vitro propagation system was developed for Echinacea purpureaL. (purple coneflower), a medicinal plant commonly used in the treatment of colds, flu and related ailments. Root organogenesis
from Echinacea purpurea hypocotyl explants was effectively induced by indolebutyric acid. Indoleacetic acid was found to be less effective than indolebutyric
acid while treatments with naphthaleneacetic acid were ineffective for induction of root organogenesis. The results of this
study have established a micropropagation system for Echinacea purpurea that will provide axenic plant material for further investigations into medicinally active biochemicals and the mass production
of high-quality Echinacea purpurea root tissues for the commercial market.

Background and Aims
Below-ground translocated carbon (C) released as rhizodeposits is an important driver for microbial mobilization of nitrogen (N) for plants. We investigated how a limited substrate supply due to reduced photoassimilation alters the allocation of recently assimilated C in plant and soil pools under legume and non-legume species.Methods
A non-legume (Lolium perenne) and a legume (Medicago sativa) were labelled with 15N before the plants were clipped or shaded, and labelled twice with 13CO2 thereafter. Ten days after clipping and shading, the 15N and 13C in shoots, roots, soil, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and carbon (DOC) and in microbial biomass, as well as the 13C in soil CO2 were analyzed.Results
After clipping, about 50 % more 13C was allocated to regrowing shoots, resulting in a lower translocation to roots compared to the unclipped control. Clipping also reduced the total soil CO2 efflux under both species and the 13C recovery of soil CO2 under L. perenne. The 15N recovery increased in the shoots of M. sativa after clipping, because storage compounds were remobilized from the roots and/or the N uptake from the soil increased. After shading, the assimilated 13C was preferentially retained in the shoots of both species. This caused a decreased 13C recovery in the roots of M. sativa. Similarly, the total soil CO2 efflux under M. sativa decreased more than 50 % after shading. The 15N recovery in plant and soil pools showed that shading has no effect on the N uptake and N remobilization for L. perenne, but, the 15N recovery increased in the shoot of M. sativa.Conclusions
The experiment showed that the dominating effect on C and N allocation after clipping is the need of C and N for shoot regrowth, whereas the dominating effect after shading is the reduced substrate supply for growth and respiration. Only slight differences could be observed between L. perenne and M. sativa in the C and N distribution after clipping or shading. 相似文献18.

The remediation of metal-contaminated soils by phytoextraction depends on plant growth and plant metal accessibility. Soil microorganisms can affect the accumulation of metals by plants either by directly or indirectly stimulating plant growth and activity or by (im)mobilizing and/or complexing metals. Understanding the intricate interplay of metal-accumulating plants with their rhizosphere microbiome is an important step toward the application and optimization of phytoremediation. We compared the effects of a “native” and a strongly disturbed (gamma-irradiated) soil microbial communities on cadmium and zinc accumulation by the plant Arabidopsis halleri in soil microcosm experiments. A. halleri accumulated 100% more cadmium and 15% more zinc when grown on the untreated than on the gamma-irradiated soil. Gamma irradiation affected neither plant growth nor the 1 M HCl-extractable metal content of the soil. However, it strongly altered the soil microbial community composition and overall cell numbers. Pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons of DNA extracted from rhizosphere samples of A. halleri identified microbial taxa (Lysobacter, Streptomyces, Agromyces, Nitrospira, “Candidatus Chloracidobacterium”) of higher relative sequence abundance in the rhizospheres of A. halleri plants grown on untreated than on gamma-irradiated soil, leading to hypotheses on their potential effect on plant metal uptake. However, further experimental evidence is required, and wherefore we discuss different mechanisms of interaction of A. halleri with its rhizosphere microbiome that might have directly or indirectly affected plant metal accumulation. Deciphering the complex interactions between A. halleri and individual microbial taxa will help to further develop soil metal phytoextraction as an efficient and sustainable remediation strategy. 相似文献

Vascular plant bio-photovoltaics (VP-BPV) is a recently developed technology that uses higher plants to harvest solar energy and the metabolic activity of heterotrophic microorganisms in the plant rhizosphere to generate electrical power. In the present study, electrical output and maximum power output variations were investigated in a novel VP-BPV configuration using the crop plant rice (Oryza sativa L.) or an associated weed, Echinochloa glabrescens (Munro ex Hook. f.). In order to compare directly the physiological performances of these two species in VP-BPV systems, plants were grown in the same soil and glasshouse conditions, while the bio-electrochemical systems were operated in the absence of additional energy inputs (e.g. bias potential, injection of organic substrate and/or bacterial pre-inoculum). Diurnal oscillations were clearly observed in the electrical outputs of VP-BPV systems containing the two species over an 8-day growth period. During this 8-day period, O. sativa generated charge ~6 times faster than E. glabrescens. This greater electrogenic activity generated a total charge accumulation of 6.75?±?0.87 Coulombs for O. sativa compared to 1.12?±?0.16 for E. glabrescens. The average power output observed over a period of about 30 days for O. sativa was significantly higher (0.980?±?0.059 GJ?ha?1?year?1) than for E. glabrescens (0.088?±?0.008 GJ?ha?1?year?1). This work indicates that electrical power can be generated in both VP-BPV systems (O. sativa and E. glabrescens) when bacterial populations are self-forming. Possible reasons for the differences in power outputs between the two plant species are discussed. 相似文献

Effect of soil moisture content on the deformation behaviour of root-reinforced soils subjected to shear 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of plant species which frequently occur in set-aside arable land on rhizosphere soil properties were assessed and compared to rhizosphere soil of Secale cereale (Rye) grown on an intensively managed arable soil (sandy Cambisol, Saxony, NE-Germany). On a 6 year old set-aside arable land rhizosphere soil samples were taken under Agropyron repens, Cirsium arvense and Rumex acetosa, the most frequent plant species, and under the leguminous plant species Vicia villosa. Phospholipid fatty acid analysis (PLFA) has been used to characterise the structure of the soil microbial community. Carbon mineralisation rates as well as gross (15N isotope pool dilution method) and net nitrogen mineralisation rates were determined as indicator of microbial activity. In intensive managed plots a rhizosphere effect was obvious in higher nutrient contents, gross N mineralisation rates and higher relative abundances of fungi and protozoa in Rye rhizosphere compared to bulk soil. Plant species altered rhizosphere microbial activity. Lowest gross N mineralisation and gross NH4 consumption rates were detected in Rye rhizosphere soil. Both rates revealed high positive correlations with dissolved organic carbon (extracted with KCl) and soil pH. The rhizosphere soil microbial communities of the three dominant plant species of the set-aside arable land (Agropyron, Cirsium, Rumex) were more similar to each other than to Vicia grown on the same set-aside plots and Rye grown on intensive managed plots. The highest number of non-identified PLFAs detected in Vicia rhizosphere soil suggests that microbial diversity was highest. Differences in quantity and quality of Vicia rhizodeposition, especially higher N contents, seem to induce the higher microbial activity and different microbial community structure. The rhizosphere soil of the dominant plant species on the set-aside and intensively managed arable land reflected the differences in bulk soil properties (obtained in a previous study) between the two management systems (e.g. pH, gross N mineralisation, metabolic quotient, PLFA marker characteristic of G? bacteria and fungi). 相似文献
