土壤水分时空变异及其与环境因子的关系

土壤水分的时空变异是指在一定的景观内,不同时间、地点和土层的土壤水分特征存在明显的差异性和多样性。土壤水分时空变异是由多重尺度上的土地利用（植被）、气象（降雨）、地形、土壤、人为活动等诸因子综合作用的结果,但就其某一具体地区而言存在着重点尺度和主控因子,土壤水分时空变异的重点尺度与主控因子的时空关系因时间、空间和尺度而异。本文综述了土壤水分（尤其是黄土高原地区）的时空变异与其环境因子时空关系的研究进展,并提出了广眨开展多重时空尺度上土壤水分的时空变异与其诸因素的时空关系,研究土壤水分时空变异性的尺度转换规律,确定重点尺度及其相应的主控因子。     

Acclimation of a dominant mangrove plant (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Kandelia candel</Emphasis>) to soil texture and its response to canopy shade

Kandelia candel, a dominant plant species in Hong Kong mangroves, had different growth strategies during its seedling stage for acclimation to various soil types. Leaves of the seedlings grown in sandy soils (coarse texture) were significantly thicker than those in loamy–sandy and silty soils (fine texture). However, leaf weight per unit leaf area of seedlings grown in sandy soils was similar to that in loamy-sandy soils and was 1.60 times that in silty soils. These indicate that K. candel in sandy soils had developed a more loose leaf structure and a xerophilous characteristic during its seedling stage for acclimation to the features of coarse textured soils, which were low water holding capacity and low mineral content. In addition, for young seedlings grown in sandy and loamy–sandy soils, more biomass was allocated to roots than in silty soils, indicating that K. candel seedlings in sandy soils developed stronger roots for anchorage and water absorption; another xerophilous characteristic to acclimate to loose and coarse textured soils. As the plants became more mature, no significant difference in leaf thickness of the saplings was found between loamy-sandy and sandy soils. In order to acclimate to the low water holding capacity in sandy soils, K. candel seedlings had lower physiological activities including lower chlorophyll content; lower activities of root oxidase, nitrate reductase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase but higher malonaldehyde contents than those in silty soils. Canopy shade is an important factor affecting the growth and physiology of K. candel. The seedling grew worse under the mangrove canopy than that in the open gap, with smaller leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf number and biomass. The seedlings under the canopy eventually died and no saplings were found under canopy shade, implying K. candel is a shade intolerant species and canopy shade might force its newly recruited individuals to expand out of the forest.     

Nutrient variation in forest soil samples due to time of sampling and method of storage

Summary This study was carried out in order to assess the importance of storage procedures and time of sampling for the results of routine chemical analyses of forest soils. Humus and mineral soil samples were collected at five-week intervals during two growing seasons from a sample plot in a coniferous forest in northern Sweden. The samples were either air-dried (+35°C) or frozen (−20°C). After a few months they were analysed for ‘easily available’ and ‘relatively available’ phosphorus (P-AL and P-HCl) and potassium (K-AL and K-HCl), ammonium, nitrate and pH. In some cases there was a significant difference between the two sample treatments. In humus, the concentrations of P-AL and NH₄-N were 51% and 76% higher in samples which had been frozen than in those which had been air-dried while the concentrations of NO₃-N were 75% higher. in air-dried than in frozen samples. In mineral soil samples, 21–64% higher concentrations of K-AL were found in frozen samples compared to air-dried and 80–427% higher concentrations of NO₃-N in air-dried than in frozen samples. No distinct seasonal variations were found for any of the parameters.     

植物群落向土壤有机碳输入及其对气候变暖的响应研究进展

植物群落作为陆地生态系统土壤有机碳的主要来源,可通过地表凋落物分解、细根周转和根系分泌物等方式将光合作用同化的碳输入到土壤中。全球气候变暖正深刻地影响植物群落的分布、结构与功能,改变森林地上和地下凋落物产量与分解速率和根系分泌过程,从而改变植物群落向土壤输入有机碳数量。本文综述了植物群落向土壤有机碳输入过程及其对气候变暖的响应研究进展。研究表明,气候变暖可通过影响植物群落生产直接影响凋落物产量和根系分泌过程,还可通过改变凋落物分解环境条件、凋落物基质质量和分解者群落结构与活性等非生物与生物因子而间接作用于凋落物向土壤有机碳输入过程。气候变暖还可通过影响植物根系性状、根系分泌物化学组成等间接影响植物根系向土壤输入的碳量,但其具体机制还需深入探讨。未来的研究应该关注气候变暖导致植物群落结构改变进而影响土壤有机碳输入的具体机制以及粗木质残体对土壤有机碳输入的贡献,同时还应注重植物凋落物与根系分泌过程的整合研究,以期更全面地认识气候变暖背景下植物群落对土壤碳库及碳循环过程的贡献。     

Legumes regulate grassland soil N cycling and its response to variation in species diversity and N supply but not CO2

Legumes are an important component of plant diversity that modulate nitrogen (N) cycling in many terrestrial ecosystems. Limited knowledge of legume effects on soil N cycling and its response to global change factors and plant diversity hinders a general understanding of whether and how legumes broadly regulate the response of soil N availability to those factors. In a 17‐year study of perennial grassland species grown under ambient and elevated (+180 ppm) CO₂ and ambient and enriched (+4 g N m^?2 year^?1) N environments, we compared pure legume plots with plots dominated by or including other herbaceous functional groups (and containing one or four species) to assess the effect of legumes on N cycling (net N mineralization rate and inorganic N pools). We also examined the effects of numbers of legume species (from zero to four) in four‐species mixed plots on soil N cycling. We hypothesized that legumes would increase N mineralization rates most in those treatments with the greatest diversity and the greatest relative limitation by and competition for N. Results partially supported these hypotheses. Plots with greater dominance by legumes had greater soil nitrate concentrations and mineralization rates. Higher species richness significantly increased the impact of legumes on soil N metrics, with 349% and 505% higher mineralization rates and nitrate concentrations in four‐species plots containing legumes compared to legume‐free four‐species plots, in contrast to 185% and 129% greater values, respectively, in pure legume than nonlegume monoculture plots. N‐fertilized plots had greater legume effects on soil nitrate, but lower legume effects on net N mineralization. In contrast, neither elevated CO₂ nor its interaction with legumes affected net N mineralization. These results indicate that legumes markedly influence the response of soil N cycling to some, but not all, global change drivers.     

半干旱草地土壤团聚体氮磷转化相关酶活性对氮添加的响应

日益加剧的大气氮沉降对土壤养分循环过程产生了深刻影响,土壤养分转化相关酶是其关键调控途径,而土壤不同粒级团聚体结构和环境差异导致其中酶活性介导的养分转换过程可能不同。但目前对半干旱区土壤团聚体水平养分转化相关酶活性对氮沉降的响应还不清楚。基于黄土高原自然草地持续3年的野外氮添加控制试验,分析不同氮添加水平下土壤不同粒级团聚体中的基础理化性质、氮（亮氨酸氨基肽酶LAP和β-1,4-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶NAG）和磷转化相关的酶（磷酸单酯酶PME、磷酸二酯酶PDE和植酸酶phyA）活性及酶计量比,探索氮添加对团聚体酶活性的影响。结果表明：（1）氮添加导致了不同粒级团聚体中pH显著降低;高氮添加引起土壤团聚体有机碳、全氮、硝态氮、C ： P和N ： P升高;（2）随氮添加浓度增加,不同粒级团聚体中PME、PDE和phyA活性先降低后升高,而LAP、NAG和酶活性氮磷比均逐渐升高;团聚体酶活性总体表现为小团聚体（<0.25 mm）>中团聚体（0.25-2 mm）>大团聚体（>2 mm）;（3）在中和大团聚体中氮添加通过影响土壤N相关养分调控P转化相关酶活性。总之,氮添加通过改变团聚体养分及其计量比、pH等影响氮、磷转化相关酶活性。     

Tree physiological responses to above-ground herbivory directly modify below-ground processes of soil carbon and nitrogen cycling

Above‐ground herbivory is ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems, yet its impacts on below‐ground processes and consequences for plants remain ambiguous. To examine whether physiological responses of individual trees may potentially modify soil nutrient availability, we subjected Fagus sylvatica L. (European beech) and Abies alba Mill. (silver fir) to simulated foliar herbivory over two growing seasons. Above‐ground herbivory enhanced N mineralization and inorganic N availability in the soil. The total input of C from the plant roots to the soil is not known; however, carbon sequestration in the soil, measured using stable isotopic techniques, was unaffected by herbivory. Fagus responded to herbivory by producing larger leaves, with increased photosynthetic capacity and N content, which largely compensated for the loss of biomass; Abies exhibited no such response. We conclude that despite large interspecific differences in the growth response, tree physiological responses to foliar herbivory are capable of directly modifying soil biological processes.     

秸秆及秸秆黑炭对小麦养分吸收及棕壤酶活性的影响

通过小麦盆栽试验,研究了玉米秸秆及其秸秆黑炭施加对小麦养分吸收利用和棕壤酶活性的影响。试验设对照(CK),黑炭(B),秸秆还田(S),尿素(U),尿素+黑炭(UB)及尿素+秸秆还田(US)6个处理,各处理3次重复。结果表明:无氮肥施入下,B处理较CK和S处理籽粒产量显著提高99.4%和77.7%,小麦地上部氮、磷、钾吸收累积量分别显著提高94.1%—140.9%,55.4%—66.3%和53.1%—72.6%;有氮肥施入下,UB和US处理较U处理提高籽粒产量8.2%—8.8%,小麦地上部氮、磷、钾吸收累积量分别显著提高14.3%—27.8%,19.6%—30.9%和24.4%—40.9%。秸秆及秸秆黑炭施加处理的氮素利用率显著提高21.4%—41.7%。黑炭施加显著提高土壤中有机碳、NH+4-N、NO-3-N和速效钾含量;在施氮条件下,秸秆还田显著提高土壤中NO-3-N含量;秸秆及黑炭施加对有效磷含量无显著影响。秸秆还田显著提高了土壤脱氢酶、过氧化氢酶、脲酶和中性磷酸酶活性;施加黑炭也明显提高了土壤脱氢酶和脲酶活性,但抑制过氧化氢酶和中性磷酸酶活性。土壤脲酶活性与土壤有机碳、无机氮含量呈显著正相关,表明土壤酶可反映土壤肥力水平。

采用植物群落研究法与原状土就地取样技术,研究了滇西北高原典型退化湿地纳帕海植物多样性、土壤养分、酶活性格局特征及其相互关系.随着湿地原生沼泽向沼泽化草甸、草甸的演替,湿地植物群落盖度增加、物种组成增多,群落优势种优势度减小,伴生种数量增加,植物多样性呈增加趋势;湿地土壤有机质、全氮含量不断减少,过氧化氢酶、蛋白酶、蔗糖酶活性增加,脲酶活性降低.植物α多样性指数(辛普森、香浓-维纳指数)与湿地土壤有机质、全氮含量呈负相关,与土壤过氧化氢酶、蛋白酶、蔗糖酶活性呈正相关,与脲酶活性呈负相关;土壤有机质、全氮含量与过氧化氢酶、蛋白酶、蔗糖酶活性呈一致负相关,与脲酶活性则成正相关.湿地景观在一定程度上反映了人为生产活动干扰的类型与强度,其植物多样性、土壤养分和酶活性特征及其相互关系是湿地生态系统演替过程中时空间体现,研究结果揭示了人为干扰下湿地退化的生态学过程及机理,可为我国高原湿地生物多样性保护,退化湿地生态恢复与湿地资源可持续利用提供一定的理论依据.     

Soil nutrient heterogeneity interacts with elevated CO2 and nutrient availability to determine species and assemblage responses in a model grassland community

Interactive effects of atmospheric CO(2) concentration ([CO(2)]), soil nutrient availability and soil nutrient spatial distribution on the structure and function of plant assemblages remain largely unexplored. Here we conducted a microcosm experiment to evaluate these interactions using a grassland assemblage formed by Lolium perenne, Plantago lanceolata, Trifolium repens, Anthoxanthum odoratum and Holcus lanatus. Assemblages exhibited precise root foraging patterns, had higher total and below-ground biomass, and captured more nitrogen when nutrients were supplied heterogeneously. Root foraging responses were modified by nutrient availability, and the patterns of N capture by interactions between nutrient distribution, availability and [CO(2)]. Greater above-ground biomass was observed under elevated CO(2) only under homogeneous conditions of nutrient supply and at the highest availability level. CO(2) interacted with nutrient distribution and availability to determine foliar percentage N and below : above-ground biomass ratios, respectively. Interactions between nutrient distribution and CO(2) determined the relative contribution to above-ground biomass of four of the species. The responses of dominant and subordinate species to [CO(2)] were dependent on the availability and distribution of nutrients. Our results suggest that soil nutrient distribution has the potential to influence the response of plant species and assemblages to changes in [CO(2)] and nutrient availability.     

古尔班通古特沙漠土壤酶活性和微生物量氮对模拟氮沉降的响应

本文以新疆古尔班通古特沙漠为研究区,原位设定0 (N0)、0.5 (N0.5)、1.0 (N1)、3.0 (N3)、6.0 (N6)和24.0 (N24) g N m?2 a-1 6个模拟施氮浓度,研究氮沉降对土壤酶活性和微生物量N的影响。结果表明：不同浓度的氮增加未改变土壤酶活性和微生物量N原有的垂直分布格局,0 ~ 5 cm土层土壤多酚氧化酶和过氧化物酶活性分别比5 ~ 10 cm土层低11.5 ~ 29.1%和1.4 ~ 14.2%,而该土层的蔗糖酶、脲酶、碱性磷酸酶活性和微生物量N则分别比5 ~ 10 cm土层高4.3 ~ 98.1%、45.3 ~ 119.0%、76.1 ~ 138.1%和77.5 ~ 162.3%。氮增加后,0 ~ 5 cm土层的土壤酶活性和微生物量N比5 ~ 10 cm土层受影响更大。低氮和中氮(N0.5～N3)增加对0 ~ 5 cm土层氧化酶活性影响较小,各处理间差异不显著;高氮(N6,N24)对该层氧化酶活性有明显抑制作用。与对照相比,N24处理下土壤多酚氧化物活性和过氧化物酶活性分别降低了22.4%和12.1%;5 ~ 10 cm土层氧化酶活性对氮增加响应不敏感,各施氮量之间差异不显著;两层土壤的蔗糖酶和碱性磷酸酶活性随氮的增加具有先增加再减少的趋势,而两层土壤的脲酶活性和土壤微生物量N随着施氮量增加分别降低和增加;随着土壤酶活性变化,土壤有效氮和微生物量N增加,有效磷先增加后减少。这些响应表明,氮增加可以改变该荒漠土壤系统的土壤酶活性和微生物量并影响土壤相关营养元素循环。     

Mapping the vertical distribution of maize roots in China in relation to climate and soil texture

Maize (Zea maysL.) is currently the most widely planted cereal crop in China, yet the vertical distribution of maize roots across different regions remains unknown. The aims of this work were (i) to quantify the effects of climate and soil texture on the vertical distribution of maize roots, and (ii) to show the depth distribution of root biomass in China.     

陕北黄土区生物结皮条件下土壤养分的积累及流失风险

分析了陕北黄土高原典型流域生物结皮的形成和发育对土壤养分的积累效应,同时对生物结皮条件下土壤养分的流失风险进行评价.结果表明：生物结皮生长发育后能够迅速增加结皮层及2 cm土层的养分含量,但对深层土壤影响较小;退耕0～20年间结皮层的养分含量与退耕年限之间的关系可用指数函数（y=a［b-exp(-cx)］）拟合,其中有机质、全氮和碱解氮在退耕20年间的增加速度变化不大,而全磷、速效磷和速效钾在退耕初期增加迅速,后期增加缓慢;自然发育生物结皮对土壤养分的年均净贡献量为：有机质50.15 g·m^-2、全氮1.95 g·m^-2、全磷0.44 g·m^-2、碱解氮164.33 mg·m^-2、速效磷9.64 mg·m^-2和速效钾126.21 mg·m^-2,人工培育条件下生物结皮发育更快,对养分尤其是速效养分的贡献速率更高;生物结皮条件下养分含量的提高增加了养分流失风险,尤其是养分随泥沙流失大幅度增加,生物结皮增加的养分中平均有39.06%随泥沙流失,仅有60.94%得以保留.总之,生物结皮可迅速、全面增加表层土壤养分,但同时会加大养分流失风险.尽管如此,土壤养分的净增加量仍相当可观,显示生物结皮具有较好的土壤养分积累效应.     

Speciation analysis of nickel in soil solutions and availability to oat plants

Soil solutions were collected for speciation analysis of nickel from a pot experiment with oats. Oat plants (Avena sativa L.) were grown on 3 soils differing in total amount and origin of nickel (Ni) (Luvisol, LS with 28 mg kg^-1; sludge amended Luvisol, LS+SS with 32 mg kg^-1; Cambisol, CS with 95 mg kg^-1). Results were compared with those for soil solutions obtained from corresponding unplanted pots. Separation methods were used for characterization of size and charge distribution and stability of the Ni species. In addition, short-term experiments were performed on the uptake rates of Ni by oat plants from the different soil solutions as well as from nutrient solutions with increasing concentrations of a synthetic chelator.The Ni concentrations in the soil solutions of unplanted soils increased in the order: LS5000 g mol^-1) was the predominant form, whereas in the other soils the low-molecular-size cationic and chelated Ni species (500–1000 g mol^-1) dominated in the soil solution. In the short-term uptake studies, the uptake rates of Ni from the solutions decreased in the order: nutrient solution > soil solutions, and in the latter in the order: LS>LS+SS>CS, which was inversely related to the concentrations of dissolved organic carbon in the soil solutions.The results demonstrate that Ni availability to plants is not only affected by total concentration of Ni in the soil solution and the rate of replenishment from the solid phase, but also by Ni species, which can differ considerably between soil types.     

蚯蚓对秸秆还田土壤细菌生理菌群数量和酶活性的影响

在连续7a稻麦轮作系统中,通过测定作物收获后表层土壤(0-20cm)中4种细菌生理菌群数量和4种酶活性的变化,研究接种蚯蚓(Metaphire guillelmi)对秸秆(表施或混施)还田土壤的细菌生理菌群数量和酶活性的影响。试验设5个处理:对照、秸秆表施、秸秆混施、秸秆表施且接种蚯蚓、秸秆混施且接种蚯蚓。结果表明,单独秸秆还田促进了土壤氨化细菌、固氮菌、纤维素分解菌和无机磷分解菌数量增加,且土壤酶活性显著地增强;在秸秆表施方式下,接种蚯蚓使得上述4种细菌生理菌群微生物的数量增加;秸秆混施方式下,接种蚯蚓增加氨化细菌和无机磷分解菌数量,且土壤蛋白酶和蔗糖酶活性显著地增强(P0.05)。另外,蚓粪中4种细菌生理菌群微生物数量和水解酶活性都远远高于其周围土壤。在秸秆还田的作物轮作系统中,蚯蚓活动进一步增加土壤微生物数量和酶活性,对改善农田土壤肥力有着重要意义。     

黄土丘陵区退耕草地群落优势种叶片光合生理对氮磷添加的响应

以黄土丘陵区退耕草地群落典型优势种白羊草、长芒草和达乌里胡枝子为研究对象,测定不同氮磷（主区N：0,50,100 kg N hm^-2 a^-1;副区P：0,40,80 kg P₂O₅ hm^-2 a^-1）添加处理下叶片光合气体交换参数、叶绿素荧光参数、叶片氮磷含量、光合氮利用效率（PNUE）和光合磷利用效率（PPUE）,探究不同优势种光合生理特征对外源氮磷添加的响应特征与物种差异。结果表明：单独氮添加下,3个优势种的净光合速率（P_n）、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率（WUE_i）、气孔限制值（Ls）和光系统Ⅱ（PSⅡ）活性高于或显著高于未施肥处理,白羊草和达乌里胡枝子的PNUE和PPUE以及长芒草的PPUE显著增加。单独磷添加下,仅达乌里胡枝子的P_n、WUE_i、Ls和PNUE相比未施肥处理显著增加。氮磷共同添加下,50 kg N hm^-2 a^-1处理下,施磷后达乌里胡枝子的P_n以及三个优势种的PNUE显著增加,白羊草的PPUE显著降低;100 kg N hm^-2 a^-1处理下,施磷后达乌里胡枝子的P_n和PNUE均显著增加,白羊草PPUE和长芒草的PNUE的仅在40 kg P₂O₅ hm^-2 a^-1处理下显著增加。3个优势种的P_n均与PSⅡ最大光化学效率和叶片氮含量呈显著正相关关系,长芒草和达乌里胡枝子的P_n与PSⅡ潜在活性和叶片磷含量呈显著正相关关系。总体表明,氮磷对黄土丘陵区退耕草地优势种光合生理具有一定的交互作用,物种属性和施肥水平影响其光合生理特征响应程度。     

Inter- and intraspecific variation in the germination response to light quality and scarification in grasses growing in two-phase mosaics of the Chihuahuan Desert

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In many locations, plants are faced with adjacent, contrasting environments, and the between-species differential evolution of life history traits can be interpreted as an evolutionary response to this environmental heterogeneity. However, there has been little research on the intraspecific variability in these attributes as a possible evolutionary response of plants. METHODS: In the two-phase mosaic of the Chihuahuan Desert (adjacent patches with contrasting resource availability), analyses were carried out of the germination response to the scarification and light quality to which grass seeds growing on these patches are exposed (open and closed habitats). KEY RESULTS: Species that grow in open habitats exhibited a higher germination success than those from closed habitats after scarification. At both the inter- and intraspecific level, there were differences in the germination percentage and in the germination speed in response to light quality. Intraspecific variation in the species from the closed habitat (Pleuraphis mutica and Trichloris crinita) and in Chloris virgata (which grows in both habitats) was due to genetic variation (the family factor was significant), but there was no genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity (non-significant interaction between family and light quality). In contrast, for the species that grows only in the open habitat (Dasyochloa pulchella), the family did not have a significant effect, but there was genetic variation in the phenotypic plasticity (significant interaction between family and light quality). CONCLUSIONS: In C. virgata, P. mutica and T. crinita, natural selection could be favouring those genotypes that responded better in each light environment, but it is not possible that the natural selection resulted in different optimal phenotypes in each habitat. On the contrary, in D. pulchella, selection could have reduced the genetic variation, but there is the possibility of the evolution of reaction norms, resulting in the selection of alternative phenotypes for each habitat.
