Nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus mineralization in soils from semi-arid highlands of central Mexico amended with tannery sludge

Tannery sludge contains valuable nutrients and could be used as a fertilizer to pioneering vegetation in heavily eroded soils of the semi-arid highlands of central Mexico. Soil collected under and outside the canopy of mesquite (Prosopis laeviginata), huizache (Acacia tortuoso) and catclaw (Mimosa biuncifera), and cultivated with maize (Zea mays) and beans (Phaesolus vulgaris) was amended with 1.5 g tannery sludge kg-1 soil or 210 kg dry sludge ha-1 or left unamended. Amended and unamended soils were incubated aerobically for 70 days at 22 +/- 2 degrees C and CO2 production, available P, and inorganic N concentrations were monitored. The CO2 production rate, total C and P, available P, biomass C and P were larger under the canopy of the vegetation than outside of the canopy. The soils were depleted of N as more than 50 mg N kg-1 soil could not be accounted for in the first days of the incubation. Nitrification showed a lag, which lasted 28 days, and concentration of available P remained constant or increased slightly. Application of tannery sludge to soil increased CO2 production with 6.5 mg CO2 kg-1 soil d-1 and inorganic N with 30 mg N kg-1 soil after 70 days, but available P did not increase. Application of tannery sludge increased C and N mineralization and could thus provide valuable nutrients to a pioneer vegetation. Although no inhibitory effects on the biological functioning of the soil were found, further investigation into possible long-term environmental effects are necessary.     

Phosphorus supply and the growth of frequently defoliated white clover (Trifolium repens L.) in dry soil

A previous study found that increased phosphorus (P) supply to frequently defoliated white clover plants, growing in a low-P, dry soil, alleviated water stress symptoms and increased plant recovery on rewatering. In this study we determined how these stresses influence white clover growth. Measurements were made of the leaf canopy, stolon infrastructure and root system of the white clover plants growing in a low-P soil. Treatments included the factorial combination of four levels of P supply, two defoliation frequencies and two soil water treatments. White clover growth declined markedly when P-deficient plants were exposed to frequent defoliation and dry soil conditions. Leaf area was more affected than other parameters, in that the combination of stresses reduced leaf area to 2% of maximum observed for infrequently defoliated plants growing in high-P soil, with adequate water. Increased P supply generally increased the growth of all plant parts. Frequently defoliated plants growing in dry soil produced similar or greater leaf mass and leaf area as plants from similar treatments growing in wet soil, when the P supply increased to 50 mg P kg-1 soil. Higher P rates were able to negate the effect of dry soil on these frequently defoliated plants, as a result of larger water and P uptake. Also, the frequently defoliated plants with restricted root growth did not respond to a small increase in P supply (17 mg P kg-1 soil) for the leaf growth, irrespective of whether they were growing in wet or dry soil. Infrequently defoliated plants with greater root growth, compared to frequently defoliated plants, more than doubled their leaf mass with this P treatment.

两种配比的控释肥对杭白菊养分吸收和生长效应的影响

利用盆栽试验研究两种不同配比的控释复合肥CRFA（4%树脂包膜,N∶P₂O₅∶K₂O为14∶14∶14）和CRFB（4%树脂包膜,N∶P₂O₅∶K₂O为20∶8∶10）及普通复合肥CCF（N∶P₂O₅∶K₂O为15∶15∶15）对杭白菊营养吸收和生长效应的影响.结果表明：普通复合肥CCF1（每盆6 g氮素用量的CCF）和CCF2（每盆3 g氮素用量的CCF）施入土壤后30 d,土壤中碱解氮、有效磷、有效钾含量分别为163.29和145.26 mg·kg^-1、180.39和163.13 mg·kg^-1、300.08 和213.15 mg·kg^-1,而后迅速下降.控释复合肥养分释放较慢,其土壤碱解氮含量在施肥后缓慢升高,在施肥后60 d达到高峰,此时CRFA1（每盆6 g氮素用量的CRFA）、CRFB1（每盆6 g氮素用量的CRFB）、CRFA2（每盆3 g氮素用量的CRFA）、CRFB2（每盆3 g氮素用量的CRFB）分别为129.51、138.65、118.36、126.31 mg·kg^-1;CRFA1和CRFA2处理土壤有效磷含量与CCF处理变化趋势基本一致,施肥后30 d分别达到169.54和133.46 mg·kg^-1,CRFB1和CRFB2处理在施肥后60 d左右达到释放高峰,含量分别为137.13和84.68 mg·kg^-1,然后缓慢下降.两种不同养分配比的控释复合肥处理植株叶面积、叶面积系数、分枝数、开花率、每株花数、鲜花直径等农艺性状均明显优于等氮素用量的普通复合肥处理,其中CRFB控释效果优于CRFA,其更符合杭白菊对养分的需求,且在本试验条件下,CRFB2处理产量最高.     

Sertraline联合Aripiprazole可显著上调大鼠脑部的CREB和BDNF水平

为了探讨SSRI联合抗精神病药物对脑源性神经营养因子(brain derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF)-cAMP反应元件结合蛋白(cAMP response element binding, CREB)信号通路的影响,本研究将SD大鼠随机分成5组,每组10只,各组大鼠分别腹腔注射阿立哌唑(5 mg·kg-1·d-1,阿立哌唑组)、舍曲林(5 mg·kg-1·d-1,舍曲林组)、阿立哌唑+舍曲林(5 mg·kg-1·d-1+5 mg·kg-1·d-1,联合组),奥氮平(5 mg·kg-1·d-1,奥氮平组)和不含药物的溶液(对照组),连续注射3周。研究显示,联合组显著增加大鼠的海马区BDNF平均荧光强度和蛋白水平,但在其他组未观察到对BDNF水平的影响。另外,不同组处理对额皮质中的BDNF水平没有影响。联合组显著增加了海马和额皮质的CREB磷酸化,而单独药物处理对CREB磷酸化无影响。联合组显著增加大鼠的海马和额皮质中CREB和TrkB (BDNF受体)的mRNA表达水平,以及AKT的磷酸化。综上所述,舍曲林联合抗精神病药(阿立哌唑)可显著上调大鼠脑部的CREB和BDNF水平,并且参与调节BDNF-CREB-AKT信号通路及相关分子。     

油松-辽东栎混交林地表凋落物与氮添加对土壤微生物生物量碳、氮及其活性的影响

2010年9月-2011年10月,在山西省灵空山油松和辽东栎混交林样地采取随机区组设计,研究了地表凋落物和氮添加处理对土壤微生物生物量碳、氮和微生物活性的影响.凋落物处理包括:剔除凋落物(N)、叶凋落物加倍(L)、枝果凋落物加倍(B)和混合凋落物加倍(LB);氮添加量分别为0(N0)、5 g· m-2·a-1(N1)和10 g·m-2·a-1(N2).结果表明:剔除地表凋落物且无氮添加时,油松和辽东栎混交林地的土壤有机碳(SOC)含量显著降低,其他试验处理间对SOC的影响无显著差异.土壤微生物生物量碳(MBC)、氮(MBN)及其活性(MR)的变化范围依次为:262.42 ～ 873.16 mg·kg-1、73.55 ～ 173.85 mg·kg-1和2.38～3.68mg·kg-1·d-1.MBC、MBN和MR两两间呈极显著正相关.氮添加对MBC、MBN和MR均无显著影响;凋落物处理对MR影响显著,表现为混合凋落物加倍处理的MR最高,叶凋落物加倍处理次之,剔除凋落物处理最低,而对MBC和MBN无显著影响.凋落物和氮添加处理在整个试验过程中未表现出交互作用.短期的氮添加处理和森林地表凋落物变化对土壤微生物过程的影响有限.     

玉米幼苗根际土壤微生物活性对芘污染的响应

用根际袋法土培试验研究了玉米幼苗根际与非根际土壤微生物量碳、微生物熵、代谢熵和土壤酶活性对不同芘污染水平(50、200、800mg·kg-1,记为T1、T2、T3)的响应差异。结果表明,较低浓度芘可适当的刺激玉米幼苗的生长,而较高浓度芘则抑制幼苗生长,其抑制作用随芘处理浓度的提高而增强;芘对玉米根系的影响要大于对茎叶的影响。玉米幼苗能够明显促进土壤中芘的去除。根际和非根际土壤中芘的去除率分别为56.67%-76.18%和32.64%-70.44%,根际土壤中芘的平均去除率比非根际土壤高16.06%。同处理中根际土壤芘含量显著低于非根际土壤,随着芘处理浓度的提高其差异更加显著。根际土壤微生物量碳、微生物熵、多酚氧化酶活性、脱氢酶活性和磷酸酶活性均高于非根际土壤,代谢熵低于非根际土壤,且其差异随芘处理浓度的提高而增大。在不同芘污染水平下,微生物量碳、微生物熵和脱氢酶活性根际和非根际土壤为T1T2T3,代谢熵为T3T2T1;多酚氧化酶活性根际土壤为T2T1T3,非根际土壤为T1T2T3;磷酸酶活性根际土壤为T3T1T2,非根际土壤为T1T2T3。土壤中残余芘含量与土壤微生物量碳、微生物熵、多酚氧化酶、脱氢酶和磷酸酶活性呈显著负相关,与代谢熵呈显著正相关。     

Decomposition and nitrogen dynamics of wheat residues and impact on wheat growth stages

N mineralisation and immobilisation were quantified in field conditions in the presence or in the absence of wheat residues. The incubation study was conducted in cylinders placed in microplots (no plants were grown in cylinders), and the rest of each microplot was sowed with the wheat crop (Triticum durum var. Massa). N mineralisation and immobilisation depend on the presence or the absence of wheat residues. In absence of residues, a linear model of regression was developed to follow the clear nitrogen mineralisation at different soil levels. Nitrogen mineralisation (mg kg-1), during the five months of wheat development, showed the following decreasing order: 0-15 cm (132.6) > 15-30 cm (120.6) > 30-45 cm (91.3). The mineralisation rate was 24.1, 22.9 and 18.9 mg kg-1 d-1 for 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm levels, respectively. The supply of wheat residues resulted in a five months N immobilisation process. At level 0-15 cm the immobilisation (mg kg-1) showed the following decreasing order: (61.6) > (46.4) > (30.0) for the supply of wheat residues at seeding time, and 15 and 30 d before seeding respectively. At the other levels, the same decreasing order was recorded. The supply of 8 t ha-1 of wheat residues at seeding time, and 15 or 30 d before seeding, decreased the dry matter yield and N accumulation in wheat crop. In consequence, there was no synchronism between the nitrogen liberated by wheat residues decomposition and the wheat growth.     

蚯蚓在植物修复芘污染土壤中的作用

采用盆栽试验法,研究了蚯蚓(Pheretima hupeiensis)在植物修复芘污染土壤中的作用。结果显示,试验浓度(20.24-321.42 mg/kg) 范围内,蚯蚓活动促进了芘污染土壤中修复植物黑麦草(Lolium multiforum)黑麦草的生长,其根冠比明显增大。添加蚯蚓72 d后,种植黑麦草的土壤中芘的去除率高达60.01%-86.26%,其平均去除率(74.66%)比无蚯蚓活动的土壤-植物系统(64.55%)提高10.11%,比无植物对照组(18.24%)提高56.42%。各种生物、非生物修复因子中,植物-微生物交互作用对芘去除的平均贡献率(51.75%)最为突出,比无蚯蚓活动时(44.94%)提高6.81%。说明蚯蚓活动可强化土壤-植物系统对土壤芘污染的修复作用。     

Plant-Soil-Contaminant Specificity Affects Phytoremediation of Organic Contaminants

The objective of this study was the evaluation of seven forage and conservation crop species for phytoremediation of trinitrotoluene (TNT) and pyrene-contaminated soils. TNT and pyrene were added to soil at 100 mg kg^-1. Crop species screening studies were conducted in a greenhouse and growth chambers on two soil types with different organic matter contents. Under high soil organic matter conditions, adsorption or covalent binding to the soil organic matter appeared to be a dominant force of removal limiting TNT and pyrene availability. In both soil types, pyrene dissipation could not be attributed to the presence of plants. However, in soils with lower organic matter content, all of the plant species treatments showed a significantly higher degree of TNT transformation compared with the unplanted control. Statistically significant differences in TNT transformation were observed among crop species grown in the low OM soil. Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) were the most effective species in enhancing TNT transformation. Our data indicated that use of plants was effective for phytoremediation of TNT-contaminated low OM content soils, but did not have any significant effect on pyrene dissipation. Based on these observations, it appears that plant-soil-contaminant interactions are very specific, and this specificity determines the effectiveness of phytoremediation schemes.     

西双版纳不同热带森林下土壤氮矿化和硝化作用研究

 1998年7月,用埋袋法对西双版纳热带季节雨林、崖豆藤(Mellettia leptobotrya)次生林、季节雨林内林窗和轮歇地土壤的氮矿化和硝化作用进行了研究。研究结果表明季节雨林和崖豆藤次生林的格局基本相同,氮净矿化速率分别为6.55mgN·kg-1·30d-1和6.37mgN·kg-1·30d-1,硝化速率分别为16.28mgN·kg-1·30d-1和16.38mgN·kg-1·30d-1。而林窗下和轮歇地土壤的氮净矿化速率和硝化速率均为负值,氮净矿化速率分别为–7.85mgN·kg-1·30d-1和–10.69mgN·kg-1·30d-1,硝化速率分别为–2.78N·kg-1·30d-1和–3.69mg N·kg-1·30d-1。从实验结果看,在30d的培养过程中,NH4–N消耗较多,导致硝化速率大于氮净矿化速率。     

低磷条件下不同基因型小麦幼苗对磷的吸收和利用效率及水分的影响

 选用在土壤磷水平为5～7mgP·kg-1土的条件下筛选出来的不同磷效率的4个冬小麦品种,采用盆栽试验研究了有效磷为3．2mgP·kg-1土时的磷效率、磷吸收效率、磷利用效率及土壤水分对这些指标的影响。结果表明：在有效磷很低的土壤上,“磷高效”品种小偃54和81(85)5—3—3—3在幼苗期并未表现出较高的磷效率。尽管这两个品种的磷吸收效率显著地高于NC37和京411,但由于它们的磷利用效率相对低于京411,从而使磷效率并未显著地提高。土壤水分对4个品种的磷吸收效率和利用效率均有显著影响。     

施加外源烯土元素对土壤中氮形态转化和有效性的影响

通过温室土培试验,测定了施加不同剂量农用稀土微肥（常乐）后不同采样时间的土壤有效N－NH^ 4-N,NO^-3,N含量和土壤脲酶活性,结果表明,当外源烯土施入量较大时,土壤有效N和NH^ 4-N含量明显降低,而土壤NO^-3的变化不显著,根据化学品安全性评价方法,实验确定外源稀土对土壤NH^ 4-N和有效N浓度影响的无观察效应浓度（NOEC）应为5mg.kg^-1风干土,实验观察到土壤NH^ 4-N含量的降低与土壤脲酶活性的抑制之间有较好的相关性（R^2=0.87),外源稀土对土壤N形态转化和有效性产生影响的主要原因之一,是外源稀土施放量较高时抑制了土壤脲酶参与下的氨化作用,土壤生态系统可以通过自适应过程进行自我调节,恢复N供给的能力。     

黄土高原土壤有机碳矿化及其与土壤理化性质的关系

土壤有机碳矿化与陆地生态系统碳循环和全球气候变化密切相关。采集98个共7类黄土高原土样,通过密闭培养法对有机碳矿化动态进行分析,探讨了土壤理化性质对有机碳矿化的影响。结果表明,黄土高原地区主要土壤有机碳在培养初期日均矿化量较高,之后逐渐降低。土壤类型对黄土高原土壤有机碳矿化影响较大,不同土壤有机碳的日均矿化量、累积矿化量和矿化率具有显著或极显著的差异。褐土有机碳总矿化量最高,CO2-C达到0.252g.kg-1,风沙土最低,CO2-C仅为0.095g.kg-1。下层土壤的有机碳矿化量较上层的有所下降,但土层深度对有机碳矿化大体上无明显影响。一级动力学方程能很好模拟黄土高原土壤有机碳矿化特征。供试土壤有机碳矿化潜力(Cp)和矿化速率常数(k)值均较低,分别为0.329-0.116g.kg-1和4.55-8.57×10-5d-1。不同土壤的Cp值变异较大,而k和Cp/SOC值无明显的变异。土壤Cp与土壤总有机碳、全氮、全磷、速效钾、粘粒和粉粒含量均呈极显著的正相关,而与k、pH值和砂粒含量呈显著的负相关。研究结果对黄土高原土壤有机碳循环和土壤碳库研究具有重要的科学价值。     

钙对土壤镉有效性的影响及其机理

采用盆栽试验,研究了赤红壤上两种镉污染水平下,施用4种钙量（0、40、100、200 mg·kg^-1）对小油菜生物量、镉吸收量及土壤溶液中钙、镉浓度的影响.结果表明：在低镉或者高镉污染水平下,与对照相比,小油菜干质量均以高钙用量处理的增幅最大,两季平均增加了5.5%（低镉）和17.3%（高镉）;增加钙的施用量,使土壤溶液中钙浓度明显增加,小油菜体内钙浓度也明显增加;当钙施用量为100 mg·kg^-1时,土壤溶液中镉浓度较对照分别增加74.5%（低镉）和31.0%（高镉）,而小油菜体内镉浓度较对照分别降低4.5％（低镉）和13.1％（高镉）.两种镉污染水平下,土壤溶液中钙/镉（质量比）值与小油菜体内镉浓度均呈显著正相关.土壤溶液中钙/镉比值影响土壤镉的有效性,进而影响小油菜对镉的吸收.     

芘对黑麦草根系几种低分子量有机分泌物的影响

植物根系释放分泌物与有机污染物的植物修复机制密切相关,研究具有有机污染物修复潜力植物在污染胁迫条件下的根系分泌物特征有助于揭示其修复机制.以多环芳烃修复研究中常用的黑麦草为材料(Lolium perenneL.)为材料,在营养液栽培方式下研究了在芘胁迫处理下,黑麦草根系几种低分子量有机物分泌特征.结果表明,黑麦草对芘具有较强的耐受能力,芘胁迫处理下,生物量无显著变化.黑麦草根系分泌的低分子量有机酸主要为草酸.3、6 mg/L和9 mg/L芘胁迫处理下,低分子量有机酸的组成无明显变化,但含量随芘胁迫处理浓度上升而显著增加(P＜0.05);总糖分泌量随着芘胁迫处理浓度升高而呈现先略微上升后下降的趋势,相对高峰值出现在芘胁迫处理浓度3 mg/L,但差异不显著;氨基酸分泌总量随着芘胁迫处理浓度的增加而显著增多,芘胁迫浓度在3、6 mg/L和9 mg/L时,根系氨基酸的分泌总量分别是空白的1.37、2.02倍和2.65倍,但根系分泌的氨基酸组成无明显变化,19种常见氨基酸分泌的数量变化情况却不相同,分泌量总体均随着芘胁迫处理浓度的提高而增加,其中苏氨酸、丝氨酸、脯氨酸、甘氨酸、丙氨酸、亮氨酸、组氨酸和鸟氨酸的分泌量显著增多,差异显著(P＜0.05).     

污泥草地利用的初步研究

对经堆处理的污泥有机肥培育结缕草（Zoysia japonica)的初步研究表明,在污泥符合农用标准条件下,以Cd为施污泥肥厚的限制因子,在施污泥有机肥45t.hm^-2（干重）以下时,在微酸性土壤（PH＜6．5）,土壤Cd含量低于Cd的土壤环境质量标准（0.3mg.kg^-1),地下水NO^-3-N含量低于地面水Ⅰ、Ⅱ类标准（NO^-3-N10mg.kg^-1,P0.1mg.kg^-),土壤中有机质,速效N、总N、总P分别经对照增加16％、78％、61％和140％,结缕草生物量比对照区高1倍,可以认为,污泥草地利用是一种良好途径。     

Experimental investigation of plant uptake of caesium from soils amended with clinoptilolite and calcium carbonate

Radioactive caesium (137Cs), from the Chernobyl accident of 1986, has unexpectedly remained in a bioavailable form in upland, sheep-grazing soils of Great Britain. As a potential remedial measure, clinoptilolite was tested in a greenhouse pot experiment for its effectiveness in selectively taking up Cs from two British soils; a lowland loam (Denbigh 1 brown earth) and an upland peat (Crowdy 2 series)Rye-grass, (Lolium perenne, Arno variety) that was grown on 10% (by weight) clinoptilolite-treated soils containing up to 40 mg kg-1 added Cs, resulted in grass leaf tissue Cs concentrations below 30 mg Cs kg-1 grass in all cases. Where no clinoptilolite had been added Cs in grass leaf-tissue reached 1860 mg kg-1 (grown on peat) and 150 mg kg-1 (grown on loam) at added Cs levels of 40 mg kg-1 soil. The addition of calcium carbonate (as ground limestone) to the Cs-treated, clinoptilolite-free peat soil enhanced the grass concentration of Cs by approximately 5 times, but this effect was not observed with the concentration of Cs in grass grown from loam soils with the same treatments. Compositions of clinoptilolite grains subsequently separated from the experimental soils ranged from 7.5 to 9.0 mg Cs kg-1 for the control soils (no added Cs). Soils treated with 40 mg Cs kg-1 gave Cs concentrations in clinoptilolite of 155-170 mg kg-1 (separated from loam) and 347-354 mg kg-1 (separated from peat).     

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) depends on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for growth and P uptake at intermediate but not high soil P levels in the field

The contribution of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to growth and phosphorus (P) uptake by oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) was examined in two field experiments covering soil P levels from 20–86 mg kg-1 NaHCO3-extractable P. The fumigant dazomet was applied to the soil in half of the plots to obtain control plants with reduced mycorrhiza formation. An extensive AMF colonization of up to 48% of the root length was established in untreated soil of both experiments, although P fertilization reduced colonization to 28–39% at the latest harvests. Fumigation markedly decreased or totally prevented AMF colonization throughout the experiments. Root growth responded to fumigation by increased total and specific root length. Shoot P uptake was decreased by fumigation at soil P levels lower than ca. 50 mg kg-1 whereas shoot growth was reduced by fumigation at soil P levels lower than ca. 40 mg kg-1. The effects of fumigation were ascribed to the suppression of mycorrhiza formation. The effect of the AMF increased with decreasing soil P levels. Phosphorus inflow through roots (based on shoot P uptake) was reduced more strongly by fumigation than total P uptake. The P inflow through fungal tissue in roots was estimated to 4 × 10-14 mol P cm-1 s-1. We conclude that AMF are essential to flax growth at soil P levels below ca. 40 mg P kg-1, which is representative of the conditions under which most flax is grown.     

Effects of soil amendment with different carbon sources and other factors on the bioremediation of an aged PAH-contaminated soil

Carbon supplementation, soil moisture and soil aeration are believed to enhance in situ bioremediation of PAH-contaminated soils by stimulating the growth of indigenous microorganisms. However, the effects of added carbon and nitrogen together with soil moisture and soil aeration on the dissipation of PAHs and on associated microbial counts have yet to be fully assessed. In this study the effects on bioremediation of carbon source, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, soil moisture and aeration on an aged PAH-contaminated agricultural soil were studied in microcosms over a 90-day period. Additions of starch, glucose and sodium succinate increased soil bacterial and fungal counts and accelerated the dissipation of phenanthrene and benzo(a)pyrene in soil. Decreases in phenanthrene and benzo(a)pyrene concentrations were effective in soil supplemented with glucose and sodium succinate (both 0.2 g C kg⁻¹ dry soil) and starch (1.0 g C kg⁻¹ dry soil). The bioremediation effect at a C/N ratio of 10:1 was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than at a C/N of either 25:1 or 40:1. Soil microbial counts and PAH dissipation were lower in the submerged soil but soil aeration increased bacterial and fungal counts, enhanced indigenous microbial metabolic activities, and accelerated the natural degradation of phenanthrene and benzo(a)pyrene. The results suggest that optimizing carbon source, C/N ratio, soil moisture and aeration conditions may be a feasible remediation strategy in certain PAH contaminated soils with large active microbial populations.
