Understanding mulching influences on nitrogen (N) availability is important for developing N management strategies in plantations
at the upland sites of the southwestern China. Dynamics of biomass loss and nutrient release of mulching material, N availability
in the soil and N mineralization in situ were evaluated for the treatments with different mulch quantity in degraded agricultural
soil. The time taken for 95% decomposition of the initial biomass of Cogon grass (Imperata cylindrical L. Beauv. var. major) was 17 months with a half-life (t
1/2) of about 4.8 months. During the first 4 months about 55.2% of N was released, and after 1-year decomposition about 71.6%
of N was released from the mulch material. The fresh grass mulch increased the available N in the soil as they decomposed.
Compared to no mulch treatment, mulch treatments with 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 kg m−2 mulching grass increased available N by about 13.1, 40.8 and 56.4% in the top soil (0–5 cm), and about 23.6, 78.0 and 139.3%
in the middle layer (5–20 cm), respectively. The mean annual net N mineralization in the mulched plots had 9.0–40.9% higher
cumulative rate than that in no-mulch plots, and the majority of the accumulated N in the incubated soils existed as NO3–N. There was a positive relationship between the rate of N mineralization and the available N in both the top soil and the
middle layer. Mulch improves soil nutrients and this improvement increased with increasing mulching quantity. The increment
of net N mineralization was approximately 69, 161 and 322 kg N ha−1 year−1 in the soil of 0–20 cm depth for the 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 kg m−2 grass mulch treatments, respectively. The results from this study will provide a basis to optimize mulching techniques for
poplar plantations in degraded agricultural soils of southwestern China. 相似文献

Improving productivity of maize (Zea mays L.) and water use efficiency is of great significance for agriculture in Ethiopia. In this study, the effects of ridge‐furrow with film mulch cultivation were tested on maize yields in Melkassa, Ethiopia. Three field experiments (drip irrigation, furrow irrigation and rainfed) were conducted each with randomised complete block design with three replicates. The drip irrigation experiment was conducted in the dry season and constituted three film mulch methods (non‐mulch, transparent film mulch and black film mulch) with three irrigation levels (357, 435 and 515 mm). The furrow irrigation experiment was also conducted in the dry season and constituted two film mulches (non‐mulch and transparent film mulch) with three irrigation levels (484, 674 and 865 mm). The rainfed experiment was conducted in the rainy season and constituted three mulches (non‐mulch, transparent film mulch and black film mulch) with two farming methods (ridge‐furrow farming and flat farming). In the drip irrigation experiment, the highest maize yields (5.9 ± 0.6 t ha?1) and irrigation water use efficiency (9.6 ± 1 kg ha?1 mm?1) were recorded in the treatment using black film mulch with high irrigation, with increases of 68% and 68.4% compared to using non‐mulch treatment at that irrigation level. In the furrow irrigation experiment, maize yields and irrigation water use efficiency reached 7 (± 0.8) t ha?1 and 9.1 (± 1.9) kg ha?1 mm?1 in the treatment using transparent film mulch with medium irrigation (674 mm), with increases of 46% and 46.8% compared to that with non‐mulch treatment. In the rainfed experiment, the film mulch rather than farming method had positive effects on the maize yields and rainwater use efficiency. The average maize yield reached 8.5 (± 0.7) t ha?1 in the film mulch treatments, with an increase of 39% than using the non‐mulch treatment. Compared with that of non‐mulch treatment, the net income in the film mulch treatments increased by 94% in the furrow experiment and 31% in the rainfed experiment. Our results indicate that the ridge‐furrow with film mulch system can be recommended for water‐saving irrigation with low cost in dry seasons, and film mulch with flat farming can be recommended in rainy seasons for maize production in Ethiopia. This study provides strong evidence that maize productivity can be effectively improved in Ethiopia and other similar areas of the world using this simple and cost‐effective technology. 相似文献

Recent efforts to clear invasive plants from the fynbos of South Africa forces managers to think about how N2‐fixing invasives have altered ecosystem processes and the implications of these changes for community development. This study investigated the changes in nitrogen (N) cycling regimes in fynbos with the invasion of Acacia saligna, the effects of clear‐cutting acacia stands on soil microclimate and N cycling, and how altered N resources affected the growth of a weedy grass species. Litterfall, litter quality, soil nutrient pools, and ion exchange resin (IER)‐available soil N were measured in uninvaded fynbos, intact acacia, and cleared acacia stands. In addition, a bioassay experiment was used to ascertain whether the changes in soil nutrient availability associated with acacia would enhance the success of a weedy grass species. Acacia plots had greater amounts of litterfall, which had higher concentrations of N. This led to larger quantities of organic matter, total N, and IER‐available N in the soil. Clearing acacia stands caused changes in soil moisture and temperature, but did not result in differences in IER‐available N. The alteration of N availability by acacias was shown to increase growth rates of the weedy grass Ehrharta calycina, suggesting that secondary invasions by nitrophilous weedy species may occur after clearing N2‐fixing alien species in the fynbos. It is suggested that managers use controlled burns, the addition of mulch, and the addition of fynbos seed after clearing to lower the levels of available N in the soil and initiate the return of native vegetation. 相似文献

In the SE periphery of Brazilian Amazonia, low-input agriculture systems on sandy loam soils have very low nutrient use efficiency. In a low-input alley cropping system, we measured residue decomposition dynamics and the yield and nutrient uptake of a maize crop associated with the following treatments: Clitoria + Pigeon pea; Acacia + Pigeon pea; Leucaena + Clitoria; Leucaena + Acacia, Leucaena + Pigeon pea and no residue input (control). The acacia treatments provided better soil coverage throughout the whole corn cycle. Potassium was released faster than nitrogen from the residues; N concentration in corn leaves in the residue treatments were below critical levels. The Leucaena + Acacia treatment was the most effective in increasing post-tasseling N and K assimilation and K use efficiency. This resulted in corn productivity 3.5 times greater (7.3 Mg ha?1) than the control without residue application. In the Amazonian sandy loam soils, which are susceptible to hardsetting and nutrient leaching, efficient N and K use should be priorities for soil management. Although no-till alley cropping of leguminous trees constitutes an important option for low-input farming, its efficiency depends on using a mixture of residues that keeps soil covered and have high rates of both N and K release during the entire crop cycle. 相似文献

A long-term field experiment was established on a kaolinitic Alfisol in Ibadan, Nigeria, in 1972. The land was cleared manually from secondary forest and used for (i) continuous no-till cropping with maize (Zea mays L.) and maize/cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) intercropping, (ii) planted fallow of guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.), leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala de Wit), and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan Millsp.), and (iii) natural bush regrowth in a randomized complete block design with three replications. At the end of 15 years, the fallow plots were cleared manually and cropped with maize for three years. The chemical and physical soil properties and crop performance of the newly-cleared plots were compared with those under 15 years of continuous cultivation. A total of 26 woody species were identified on the bush regrowth plots. Above-ground biomass accumulation of the bush plots was 157 Mg ha-1 containing 1316 kg N ha-1. Guinea grass, leucaena and natural bush regrowth plots had comparable organic C concentrations (approximately 20 g kg-1) in the surface soil (0 to 10 cm) after 15 years. The organic C concentration in the surface soil under pigeon pea was the lowest (9.5 g kg-1) among the four fallow treatments. Soil under 15 years of continuous no-till maize with and without residue mulch, respectively, contained approximately half (10 g kg-1) and a quarter (5.7 g kg-1) of the organic C under natural bush or guinea grass fallow. The levels of exchangeable Ca, K, Mg and effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) were lower in the soils under continuous cultivation than in those under natural bush and planted fallow. Soil acidification occurred in soils under continuous cropping as depicted by the lower pH values and greater exchangeable Al and Mn concentrations compared to the fallow plots. Grain yield of maize (3 to 5 Mg ha-1) without fertilizer application in the plots newly cleared from natural bush, guinea grass and leucaena fallow was comparable with that of continuous no-till maize with residue mulch and chemical fertilizer (N, P, K, Mg, Zn) applications. Among the four fallow treatments, maize grain and stover yields were the lowest in plots cleared from pigeon pea fallow. 相似文献

In order to assess the success of in situ remediation of coniferous forest soil polluted by a Cu–Ni smelter, the total Cu concentration in soil percolation water, the fluxes of Cu down through the soil profile, and the toxicity of soil percolation water to soil bacteria were studied. Total Cu in percolation water was also fractionated into free ionic and complexed forms. The toxicity of the percolation water was measured by the [3H]-thymidine incorporation method, which measures bacterial growth rates. Soil percolation water was collected during one growing season by zero tension lysimeters inserted at depths of 0.2 and 0.4 m in the soil. The treatments consisted of a control, mulch application to the forest floor (M) and mulch application after removing the polluted organic soil layer (MR). The mulch consisted of a mixture of compost and woodchips (1/1; vol/vol). Analysis of Cu species and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) indicated that DOC leached from the mulch and complexed Cu into forms that were less toxic to soil bacteria. At 0.2 m depth percolation water toxicity was 19% lower in the M and 42% lower in the MR treatment than in the control. Toxicity correlated with the Cu2+ concentration, which was 61 and 84% lower in the M and MR treatments, respectively, compared to the control. However, there were signs that total Cu had leached down through the soil profile, the leaching being more pronounced in the MR treatment. 相似文献

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.)], and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) are known for high biomass productivity and for various traits that make these species more suitable for marginal environmental growing conditions. The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of organic vs. inorganic fertilizer application on grass biomass production and soil nutrient status. Switchgrass, tall fescue, and reed canarygrass were established on a sandy soil and a clay soil at the Cornell University Willsboro Research Farm in Willsboro, NY. The experiment was a split-split plot randomized block design with six replicates. Sites were whole plots, grass species were subplots, and fertility treatments were sub-subplots. The six treatments were (1) 168 kg ha?1 of N fertilizer for cool-season grasses, 84 kg ha?1 for switchgrass; (2) 56 kg ha?1 of 0-46-0 P fertilizer plus N (#1); (3) 112 kg ha?1 of 0-0-60 K fertilizer plus N (#1); (4) 89.6 Mg dairy manure ha?1; (5) 44.8 Mg dairy manure compost ha?1; and (6) no fertilizer applied (control plots). Switchgrass with a single harvest per season yielded on average 13.0 Mg ha?1, while tall fescue and reed canarygrass averaged 8.4 and 7.7 Mg ha?1, respectively, under two-cut systems. Switchgrass with no fertilization produced 84% of maximum yield of fertilized treatments. Application of a similar amount of organic N with fresh and composted dairy manure resulted in greater yields for fresh dairy manure. Organic fertilizers strongly impacted the P and K status of soils. Switchgrass is capable of high yields in marginal environments and can provide a land base for environmentally acceptable application of animal manure, although from a yield standpoint it is not very responsive to fertilizer applications. 相似文献

Organic amendments, such as compost and biochar, mitigate the environmental burdens associated with wasting organic resources and close nutrient loops by capturing, transforming, and resupplying nutrients to soils. While compost or biochar application to soil can enhance an agroecosystem's capacity to store carbon and produce food, there have been few field studies investigating the agroecological impacts of amending soil with biochar co-compost, produced through the composting of nitrogen-rich organic material, such as manure, with carbon-rich biochar. Here, we examine the impact of biochar co-compost on soil properties and processes by conducting a field study in which we compare the environmental and agronomic impacts associated with the amendment of either dairy manure co-composted with biochar, dairy manure compost, or biochar to soils in a winter wheat cropping system. Organic amendments were applied at equivalent C rates (8 Mg C ha−1). We found that all three treatments significantly increased soil water holding capacity and total plant biomass relative to the no-amendment control. Soils amended with biochar or biochar co-compost resulted in significantly less greenhouse gas emissions than the compost or control soils. Biochar co-compost also resulted in a significant reduction in nutrient leaching relative to the application of biochar alone or compost alone. Our results suggest that biochar co-composting could optimize organic resource recycling for climate change mitigation and agricultural productivity while minimizing nutrient losses from agroecosystems. 相似文献

Short rotation coppice (SRC) willow is a promising bioenergy feedstock. Fertilization is an integrated part of the production system, but knowledge about the effects in consecutive rotations is scarce. The objective of this study was to identify an appropriate fertilization regime for achieving high yields, reducing risks of nutrient leaching and maintaining the soil nutrient stocks in SRC willow on a former arable land. Ten different fertilization treatments were applied, with different application frequencies, fertilizer types and doses over three consecutive 2-year rotations. The biomass production was determined at harvest, soil solution samples were collected monthly, water fluxes were modelled using CoupModel and nutrient budgets were calculated. The unfertilized control had a mean biomass production of 8.3, 8.3 and 9.5 odt ha?1 year?1, respectively, in the three rotations. This indicated that nutrients were adequately available to maintain production for at least 6 years without fertilization. When adding 60 kg N ha?1 year?1, biomass production tended to be higher than the control, by 33% (p = 0.055), and the treatment where 360 kg N ha?1 rotation?1 was added, by 31% (p = 0.08). Treatments with one-time addition of 240 and 360 kg N ha?1 rotation?1 had significantly higher nitrogen leaching than all other treatments. Organic fertilizers did not increase biomass production nor N leaching significantly compared to the control, but nutrient budgets indicated a nutrient build-up in the soil. We concluded that application of 60 kg N ha?1 year?1 is recommendable, for achieving high biomass yields, low nitrogen leaching and maintenance of the soil nutrient stock. 相似文献

Concentrations of pollutants in biotic materials are usually related to dry matter. This work demonstrates with the use of
heavy metal-contaminated poplar leaves (Populus nigra ‘Italica’), that ash of dry matter (dry ash) obviously yields a better reference, as it eliminates the natural variations
among organic substance contents.
Values of heavy-metal concentrations in dry ash of leaves were generally more homogeneous and better correlated with corresponding
values in air and soil than those in dry matter. It is further shown that concentrations of non-biodecomposable and non-volatile
pollutants in the mineral fraction (the same as ash) of, for instance, plants and their residues (autumn leaves, mulch compost)
can directly be compared with those in soil (nearly 100% mineral), and vice versa. This facilitates the setting of maximally permissible values for pollutant concentrations in plant dry matter or their residues,
and in soil, which can be used in the protection of soils against pollutants accumulated in fresh or fallen leaves, mulch
or compost. In this connection, the heavy-metal and lindane margins in West German regulations for issuing environmental certificates
for compost products are discussed. 相似文献

In the arid areas of Northwest China, water has become a key limiting factor for agricultural development, so conservation tillage management has become an important measure to improve water use efficiency and crop yield. Our experiment, conducted from 2015 to 2018, explored the effects of conventional flat planting with no mulch (NP), with straw mulch (SM), and with plastic mulch (PM); and also ridge and furrow planting without mulch (RF) and ridge-furrow planting with plastic film and straw mulch (RFPFM) on soil nutrients, soil water storage, water use efficiency, and crop yield when compared with traditional no mulch and no fertilization cultivation (CK). Four years of experiments showed that compared to CK, SM and RFPFM had significantly increased soil surface nutrient content and increased organic matter content, and the water depletion during the maize growth period of the NP, SM, PM, RF, and RFPFM treatments increased by 9.7%, 0.6%, 8.6%, 4.4%, and 14.2%, respectively. For four years, the average spring maize yields of the NP, SM, PM, RF, and RFPFM treatments increased by 36%, 87%, 115%, 40%, and 119%, compared to those of CK. The PM and RFPFM treatments' water use efficiencies were significantly different from those of the other treatments and the basic decreasing trend of water use efficiency was RFPFM > PM > SM > RF > NP > CK. In summary, we showed that because ridge-furrow planting with plastic film mulch improved both soil nutrients and crop yields, it is a preferred cultivation method for agricultural water utilization in arid areas. 相似文献

Regenerating Topsoil Functionality in Four Drastically Disturbed Soil Types by Compost Incorporation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The low water-holding capacity and low nutrient levels of roadcuts in northern California cause many of these disturbed areas to remain chronically barren. Yard waste compost was incorporated into four nonvegetated substrates found along roadcuts (decomposed granite [DG], lahar, serpentine, and sandstone) in order to regenerate topsoil infiltration, water-holding capacity, and nutrient availability. Soil physical and chemical properties, as well as the vegetative response of a native perennial grass, were compared between treatments (non-tilled, tilled, and tilled with compost amendment). Tillage and compost addition decreased soil bulk density compared to the non-tilled treatment, and the compost treatment increased the soil carbon and nitrogen contents compared to the non-tilled and tilled treatments. Tillage alone resulted in an increase in saturated hydraulic conductivity in soils that did not contain a large amount of coarse fragments. Tillage also reduced sediment loss in all soils except the DG. Foliar C13 content did not predict water stress consistently between treatments. The incorporation of yard waste compost increased plant available water in coarse but not in fine-textured soils, and aboveground plant biomass was significantly greater in the compost treatment than in either of the other treatments. Although the incorporation of yard waste compost generated the greatest revegetation success, tillage alone may be a sufficient treatment if residual soils have adequate nutrient levels. 相似文献

It is well known that surface mulched crop residues (CR) lead to large yield increases of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum
L.) on acid sandy soils of the West African Sahel. This effect is generally attributed to mulch-induced changes in chemical
properties of the surface soil and the protection of millet seedlings from erosive sand storms. However, previous research
has failed to separate the anti-erosive effects of CR on plant growth from chemical effects due to the release of nutrients
during CR decomposition. To this end a mulching trial with surface applied millet stalks at a rate of 2000 kg ha-1, an equivalent 10% surface coverage obtained by inert polyethylene (PE) tubes and a bare control treatment was conducted
from 1992 to 1994 on an acid sandy soil in southwest Niger. Across treatments, sand flux at 0.1 m height was more than twice
as high in the rainy seasons than in the dry months and mulching reduced sand flux by between 25 and 50% during rainy season
storms compared with 67% during the dry season. Over the 21 months measurement period, cumulative erosion by wind and water
was almost 270 t ha-1 of soil in unmulched control plots. In mulched plots, in contrast, between 160 and 200 t ha-1 of soil was deposited. Surface soil temperature at 0.01 m depth reached above 40 °C in bare plots but was up to 4 °C lower
with CR. Mulch reduced soil penetration resistance at 0–0.02 m and 0–0.05 depth by more than half and decreased runoff leading
to higher water contents at flowering and grain filling in the upper 0.3 m soil layers in 1993 and throughout the entire profile
in 1994, a year with particularly high rainfall. Both mulch types were similarly effective in increasing final stand density
of millet in the first two years between 5 and 23% compared with bare control plots. Relative to the bare control CR mulch
effects on total dry matter of millet at harvest increased from 35% in 1992 and 108% in 1993 to 283% in 1994, whereas PE mulch
led to respective relative increases in dry matter of only 6, 44 and 13%. In 1992 and 1993, CR mulch increased total nutrient
uptake of millet at harvest by between 34 and 86% for nitrogen (N), between 31 and 162% for P and between 56 and 126% for
potassium (K). These differences were mostly the result of differences in total dry matter and only to a smaller part due
to changed nutrient concentrations in plants.

An assessment of the contribution of net mineralization to N cycling in grass swards using a field incubation method 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Measurements of net mineralization using a field incubation method were made over a full growing season (180 d). Soil cores, taken from cut swards which for many years had been previously grazed by cattle, were placed in jars in the field for successive incubation periods of 14 d. Acetylene was added to the incubation jars to inhibit nitrification in the soil cores and thereby prevent losses of N through denitrification. Net mineralization over 180 d amounted to 415, 321 and 310 kg N ha–1 under grass/clover, unfertilized grass and grass receiving 420 kg N ha–1 y–1, respectively. At the start of the growing season, an index of potentially mineralizable N in the soil was estimated by a chemical extraction method, but this index was <50% of the estimates obtained by field incubation. The amount of N in herbage harvested regularly from the swards also under-estimated the supply of N from the soil, with apparent recoveries of 53, 82 and 74% and total yields of N of 240, 263 and 538 (kg N ha–1) from grass/clover, unfertilized grass and fertilized grass, respectively. Mineralization rates varied significantly with seasonal soil temperature fluctuations, but the incubation method was apparently less sensitive in relation to changes in soil water content. Rates of N-turnover (as % of total soil N) were highest under grass/clover (9%), but similar under fertilized and unfertilized grass swards (approximately 5%). 相似文献

Neem cake is used as a soil amendment. It releases nutrient into the soil very slowly. It is also an insect repellent. It improves the physical as well as biological conditions of the soil such as soil aeration, water holding capacity and also the microflora in the rhizosphere. Aqueous extract of neem cake was used against powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) of balsam (Impatiens balsaminia) in the field at 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The efficacy was observed even at low concentrations (25%). Foliar application of aqueous extract of neem cake induced synthesis of phenolic acids in balsam. Maximum phenolic acid was detected in balsam plant leaves treated with 50% neem cake followed by 75% in both pre-and post-inoculation treatments. The induction of phenolic acid in plants was correlated with the induction of resistance in treated plants against powdery mildew. 相似文献

Evaluation of sewage sludge, septic waste and sludge compost applications to corn and forage: yields and N, P and K content of crops and soils 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper presents the data from two years of experiments concerned with the application of aerobically-digested sewage sludge, anaerobic lagoon septic sludge, sewage sludge compost or fertilizer to soils for grass forage and feed corn (Zea mays L.) production at two different sites 45 km from Truro, Nova Scotia. Crop yields, plant tissue and Mehlich-1 extractable soil nutrients were evaluated; 15 elements were analyzed in the plant tissue and nine elements in the soil extracts. This paper describes the results of crop yields, plant N, P and K content and Mehlich-1 extractable P and K. The research demonstrated the fertilizer produced higher yields of grass forage than the sludge and the compost but equivalent to the sludge in corn yields. Forage and corn N, P and K contents, however, varied with treatment, crop and year, while the compost-amended soils were highest in extractable nutrients. Both sludges and the compost, therefore, could be effective sources of N, P and K for crop production. Compared to the conventional fertilizer, the nutrient availability from the organic amendments (especially N and P) was considerably lower than the 50% assumed at the start of the experiment; the sludges however, provided higher nutrient availability than the compost. 相似文献

Aims
Effects of different soil amendments were investigated on methane (CH4) emission, soil quality parameters and rice productivity in irrigated paddy field of Bangladesh.Methods
The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with five treatments and three replications. The experimental treatments were urea (220 kg ha?1) + rice straw compost (2 t ha?1) as a control, urea (170 kg ha?1) + rice straw compost (2 t ha?1) + silicate fertilizer, urea (170 kg ha?1) + sesbania biomass (2 t ha?1 ) + silicate fertilizer, urea (170 kg ha?1) + azolla biomass (2 t ha?1) + cyanobacterial mixture 15 kg ha?1 silicate fertilizer, urea (170 kg ha?1) + cattle manure compost (2 t ha?1) + silicate fertilizer.Results
The average of two growing seasons CH4 flux 132 kg ha?1 was recorded from the conventional urea (220 kg ha?1) with rice straw compost incorporated field plot followed by 126.7 (4 % reduction), 130.7 (1.5 % reduction), 116 (12 % reduction) and 126 (5 % reduction) kg CH4 flux ha?1 respectively, with rice straw compost, sesbania biomass, azolla anabaena and cattle manure compost in combination urea and silicate fertilizer applied plots. Rice grain yield was increased by 15 % and 10 % over the control (4.95 Mg ha?1) with silicate plus composted cattle manure and silicate plus azolla anabaena, respectively. Soil quality parameters such as soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, microbial biomass carbon, soil redox status and cations exchange capacity were improved with the added organic materials and azolla biofertilizer amendments with silicate slag and optimum urea application (170 kg ha?1) in paddy field.Conclusion
Integrated application of silicate fertilizer, well composted organic manures and azolla biofertilizer could be an effective strategy to minimize the use of conventional urea fertilizer, reducing CH4 emissions, improving soil quality parameters and increasing rice productivity in subtropical countries like Bangladesh. 相似文献18.

Beech forests naturally regenerating from clear-cutting can exhibit different microclimates depending on size of saplings
and stem density. When beech trees are young and stem density is low, the level of radiation inside the ecosystem reaching
the soil surface is high; consequently, air and soil temperatures rise and the soil water content may decrease. These microclimatic
parameters presumably will affect the anatomy, photosynthesis, and carbon metabolism of beech leaves. We studied the morphology
and physiology of sun and shade leaves of beech trees differing in age and growing within clear-cut areas with distinct microclimate.
Results were compared with those of adult trees in an unmanaged forest. We selected a stand clear-cut in 2001 (14,000 trees
ha−1), another clear-cut in 1996 (44,000 trees ha−1) and an unmanaged forest (1,000 trees ha−1). Photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) incident on sun leaves, air temperature, soil moisture, and soil temperature
within the forests affected water status and carbohydrate storage in all trees. As trees became older, PPFD also influenced
pigment composition and Rubisco activity in sun leaves. On the other hand, shade leaves from the oldest trees were the most
sensitive to PPFD, air temperature, and soil moisture and temperature inside the forest. Contrariwise, microclimatic parameters
slightly affected the physiology of shade leaves of the beech in the stand with the highest light attenuation. Air and soil
temperatures were the parameters that most affected the photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrate storage in shade leaves of
the youngest trees. 相似文献

Incubation tests were used to assess the effectiveness of three different organic residues and three different liming materials, alone or in combination, in the remediation of a mine contaminated soil. The organic residues tested were sewage sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant (SS), compost from the organic fraction of unsorted municipal solid waste (MSWC), and garden waste compost (GWC), applied at 100 and 200 Mg ha? 1. The liming materials tested were agriculture limestone (6.4 Mg ha? 1), calcium oxide (3.7 Mg ha? 1), and sugar beet sludge (12.2 Mg ha? 1) from the sugar manufacturing process. The soil and mixtures of soil and amendments were adjusted to 70% of the maximum water holding capacity and incubated for 28 days in a controlled-temperature room at 20°C ± 1°C. At the end of the incubation, samples were analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter content, CaCl2-extractable, and' NH4Ac/HAc+ EDTA–extractable metal fractions (Cu, Zn, and Pb). Correlations among the variables and/or similarities among the treatments were identified by principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The amendments tested decreased the CaCl2-extractable Cu and Zn fractions, considered as mobile metal fractions, to below analytical detectable limits, providing organic matter to the soil with levels between 1% and 2% at the end of the experiment, significantly different relatively to the original soil. pH and electrical conductivity reached high values when using 200 Mg ha? 1 SS or 200 Mg ha? 1 MSWC, with any of the liming materials tested, making these application rates excessive for this particular situation. Furthermore, the treatments using MSWC increased the NH4Ac/HAc+ EDTA–extractable Cu, Pb, and Zn fractions, considered as mobilizable metal fractions, as did the 200 Mg ha? 1 SS for Pb and Zn. Considering the overall results, the compost made from garden waste decreased metal solubility in the soil and increased soil pH and organic matter content, without the addition of large amounts of soluble salts, and without increasing the mobilizable metal content. Of the organic materials tested, this was the only one that can be considered adequate for remediation of the contaminated soil under study, at the application rates tested. 相似文献
