土壤动物多样性及其生态功能

土壤无脊椎动物生物量通常小于土壤生物总生物量的10%,但它们种类丰富,取食行为及生活史策略多种多样,且土壤动物之间,土壤动物与微生物之间存在着复杂的相互作用关系。土壤动物的生态功能主要通过取食作用(trophic effect)和非取食作用(non-trophic effect)来实现。原生动物数量大、周转快,故原生动物本身的代谢活动(即取食作用)对碳氮矿化的贡献可以接近甚至超过细菌的贡献;然而大多数中小型土壤动物的本身代谢过程对碳氮矿化的贡献远低于土壤微生物,但它们可以通过取食作用来调节微生物进而影响碳氮的矿化。大型节肢动物中的蜘蛛和地表甲虫等捕食者经常活跃于地表,它们常常会通过级联效应对土壤生态系统产生重要的影响。蚯蚓、白蚁等大型土壤动物除可以通过取食作用以外,还可以通过非取食作用调控土壤微生物,进而显著影响土壤碳氮过程。土壤动物取食行为的多样性和复杂的非营养关系的存在造就了多维度的土壤食物网,给土壤动物的生态功能研究带来了巨大的挑战。介绍了土壤动物的多样性及主要的生态功能,并对研究的热点和前沿问题进行了探讨,以期引起关于土壤动物多样性及其生态功能的深入思考。     

DNA复合条形码在太白山土壤动物多样性研究中的应用

DNA复合条形码技术(metabarcoding)将DNA条形码与高通量测序技术相结合,快速便捷地鉴定群落混合样本中的物种,成为监测群落中物种组成和丰富度的可靠方法。采用这一方法分析了秦岭太白山5种不同生境的中小型土壤动物多样性,共得到土壤动物3门9纲28目199科。群落组成分析显示生境的变化对土壤动物群落组成有一定的影响。α多样性分析显示土壤动物群落丰富度指数最高的生境为针叶林,最低的为农田;土壤动物群落多样性指数最高的生境为针叶林,最低的为落叶小叶林。群落相似性分析显示高山草甸、针叶林和农田3种生境的土壤动物群落组成相似性较高,落叶小叶林和落叶阔叶林的土壤动物群落组成与这3种生境的差异较大,落叶小叶林与落叶阔叶林的土壤动物群落组成差异也较大。     

动物多样性

动物是生物界的一个重要组成部分。在各国科学家关心全球的生物多样性问题时,我国的动物学家对本国动物多样性受到的破坏和威胁同样深为关切。许多有识之士已认识到:现生生物的多样性及其分布格局是亿万年生物进化历史形成的。众多的现生动物不依赖于人类已生存了数千万或数亿年,而人类若一旦失去这些动物却难以生存。因而,保护动物的多样性是为人类自身的生存的一项刻不容缓的工作。以下我们从生态系统多样性、物种多样性和遗传多样性三个角度作一介绍,这三方面是紧密相关的。     

铜尾矿废弃地土壤动物多样性特征

土壤动物的恢复、群落演替及其多样性对于铜尾矿废弃地的生态重建具有重要意义.为了解铜尾矿废弃地土壤动物群落多样性特征,在铜陵市铜尾矿区设置4个样地23采样点,共捕获土壤动物4622只个体,隶属5门10纲18目29类.结果表明,铜尾矿自然废弃地与其对照组土壤动物多样性差异明显,自然废弃地土壤动物丰富度指数d、大型土壤动物密度、中小型土壤动物密度、多样性指数H'和D·G指数均小于其对照组且存在显著差异.而复垦废弃地中小型土壤动物密度和D·G指数小于其对照组且存在显著差异,多样性指数H'大于其对照组且差异极显著,其他土壤动物群落指标与其对照组均无显著差异.相似系数q表明,外围林地间土壤动物群落相似性最大,其次是复垦废弃地与外围林地间,自然废弃地与其它3个样地间相似性最小.从垂直分层来看,复垦废弃地土壤动物表聚性强于自然废弃地,尾矿废弃地表聚性强于外围林地.灰色关联分析表明,铜尾矿区土壤理化性质与土壤动物群落结构指标关系密切,其中最重要的因素是土壤含水量和总钾含量,重金属全镉含量也不容忽视,植被因素和土壤全铜含量对土壤动物的影响相对较小.由此可见,土壤含水量、土壤基质的优劣、土壤有机质与营养元素的含量等因素限制了铜尾矿废弃地土壤动物的恢复与重建,而这些因素的改善主要归功于尾矿废弃地的土地复垦和作物种植.所以,尾矿废弃地的复垦与利用有利于土壤动物的恢复与重建.     

衡阳紫色土丘陵坡地植被恢复对土壤微生物功能多样性的影响

以典型湖南省衡阳紫色土丘陵坡地不同植被恢复阶段为研究对象,采用空间代替时间序列的方法,选用立地条件基本相似的草本(狗尾草,GS)、灌草(紫薇-狗尾草,FG)、灌丛(牡荆+剌槐,FX)和乔灌(枫香+苦楝-牡荆,AF)群落阶段,运用Biolog-ECO微平板技术,对4个不同恢复阶段0～10和10～20 cm土层的土壤微生物功能多样性进行研究,探讨植被恢复对土壤微生物功能多样性的影响.结果表明: 植被恢复后土壤微生物群落代谢活性显著升高,同一土层不同恢复阶段AWCD值的大小顺序为乔灌群落＞灌丛群落＞灌草群落＞草本群落,相同恢复阶段不同土层的AWCD值的大小顺序为0～10 cm＞10～20 cm;主成分分析(PCA)表明,灌草群落与灌丛群落具有相似的土壤微生物C源利用方式及代谢功能,而草本群落、乔灌群落具有不同的C源利用方式及代谢功能,在主成分分离中起主要贡献作用的C源是糖类、氨基酸类以及代谢中间产物和次生代谢物;土壤微生物的Shannon物种丰富度指数(H)、Shannon均匀度指数(E)、Simpson优势度指数(D)和McIntosh指数(U)均以乔灌群落最高,灌草群落和灌丛群落次之,草本群落最低;相关分析表明,土壤含水量(SWC)、土壤总有机碳(STOC)、全氮(TN)、全磷(TP)和速效磷(AP)对土壤微生物代谢功能及功能多样性指数有重要影响,脲酶(URE)、磷酸酶(APE)、蔗糖酶(INV)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性与土壤微生物代谢功能及功能多样性指数存在显著相关关系.表明植被恢复可使土壤微生物代谢功能增强,土壤微生物繁殖加快、数量增大,从而促进土壤微生物对土壤C源的利用强度.     

黄河三角洲土壤运行多样性初步调查研究

1995－1996年对黄河三角洲9个代表性样区,进行了土壤运动定性,定量调查,并对古代,近代,现代黄河三角洲3个代表性样区开展了土壤动物周年调查,研究了土壤动物的种类组成,分布和节季变化,以及土壤动物多样性,调查研究结果,黄河三角洲共鉴定出土壤运动38种,土壤运动种类组成和数量分布因三个三角洲成土年龄不同而存在差异,土壤运动多样性以夏季为丰富,黄河三角洲土壤运动多样性]与均匀度表现为正相关关系,与单纯度呈负相关趋势。     

洞庭湖区不同土地利用方式下的土壤动物群落结构

2004年4月和7月,对洞庭湖区5种不同土地利用方式下土壤动物群落结构进行调查,以了解洞庭湖区湿地土壤动物多样性的基本情况,以及不同土地利用方式对土壤动物群落结构的影响。实验采得土壤样本270个,经分离后获土壤动物6282头,分属于5门、10纲、29类。通过对物种丰富度(S)、多样性指数(H)、均匀度指数(j)、相似度指数(q)和密度-类群指数(DG)几个多样性指标进行分析,结果表明农林间作的黑杨-苔草-菜地的物种丰富度、均匀度和密度-类群指数均显著高于其它生境,土壤动物多样性随土地利用方式和人为干扰程度的不同而存在很大差异。不同类型区的大、中、小型土壤动物的数量和组成有季节性变化,大型动物的类群组成在每个样地4、7月间均有很大差别,黑杨-苔草-菜地、黑杨-苔草地和稻田3个样地4月份蜱螨目数量均显著高于7月份;而弹尾目的数量仅在稻田4月份显著高于7月份,油菜-棉花 水稻地却是7月份显著高于4月份,其它样地无显著性差异;线虫数量仅在黑杨-苔草地和油菜-棉花 水稻地7月份的数量显著高于4月份。人类的农业生产活动导致土壤动物物种多样性降低,优势集中度提高,优势种突出,均匀性降低,形成了只利于少数几个种群栖息和生存的环境,土壤动物生物多样性受到影响,但适度干扰能提高土壤动物生物多样性。     

衡阳紫色土丘陵坡地不同土地利用模式下土壤种子库特征

为了解衡阳紫色土丘陵坡地不同土地利用模式下土壤种子库特征,利用土壤种子库"萌发法",对衡阳紫色土丘陵坡地种子库在封山育林(20a)模式(Ⅰ)、退耕还林(2a)模式(Ⅱ)、农耕模式(Ⅲ)的土壤种子库进行分析。结果表明:(1)3种土地利用模式种子库平均密度的大小顺序为:模式Ⅱ模式Ⅲ模式Ⅰ。(2)土壤种子集中分布于0~5cm土层,随土层深度增加,种子数量与种类趋于减少。(3)3种土地利用模式种子库物种Czekanowski相似性系数(CC)较低,Patrick丰富度指数(R)的大小顺序为:模式Ⅱ模式Ⅰ模式Ⅲ(P0.05);Shannon-Wiener指数(H)和Pielou均匀度指数(E)的大小顺序均为:模式Ⅱ模式Ⅲ模式Ⅰ(P0.05);Simpson指数(D)的大小顺序为:模式Ⅰ模式Ⅲ模式Ⅱ(P0.05)。(4)土壤种子库所含物种数较接近,物种组成以草本植物为主,菊科、禾本科占优势。(5)封山育林模式和退耕还林模式属于进展演替,封山育林模式处于较高演替阶段,农耕模式属于逆行演替。研究表明:衡阳紫色土丘陵坡地具有依靠土壤种子库实现自然恢复的潜力,但单依靠土壤种子库自然恢复到现存植被是困难的,需要在自然恢复潜力评估的基础上积极充分采取人工促进自然恢复的策略,促进当地的植被恢复。     

淮南市重金属污染对土壤动物群落和多样性影响研究

通过对淮南煤矿和发电厂及灰场污染地的土壤动物群落结构进行分析。结果表明,土壤动物群落的组成与数量随着污染的加重而减少,土壤动物的密度也有同样的变化趋势;在重污染土壤中,优势类群与常见类群的种类明显减少。随着污染的加重使土壤动物的种类和数量逐渐减少。重金属污染对土壤动物群落结构的影响是随着污染的加重,多样性指数、均匀性指数、密度类群指数都有减少的趋势,优势度指数在灰场外围是先增加后减少。在群落指标的相关性中,多样性指数和均匀性指数呈密切正相关,多样性指数与优势性指数呈负相关,有机质含量与土壤动物个体数量关系不密切。

将分属12个科的17种宿主植物分别种植于石灰土和紫色土上,120 d后收获取样,通过CTAB法提取共生菌根内AM真菌的DNA,用特异引物U1/U2扩增编码核糖体28S大亚基的rDNA部分序列,并利用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(PAGE)和银染显影技术显色, 比较了石灰土和紫色土上草本植物根系内丛枝菌根真菌群落的物种多样性.结果表明：生长于石灰土上的17种宿主植物根系内共发现AM真菌条带29种,平均每种宿主植物内8.29种;生长于紫色土上的17种宿主植物根系内发现条带24种,平均每种宿主植物内9.47种.根系内的AM真菌条带包括特异条带和共有条带.经聚类分析发现,AM真菌对宿主植物的侵染有一定的科属专一性,且受土壤环境等外在条件的影响.同时探讨了AM真菌应用于石灰岩地区生态恢复的可能性.     

川西高山典型自然植被土壤动物多样性

为了解川西高山不同自然植被类型下土壤动物的多样性差异,于2008年8月至2009年6月对该地区代表性植被--针叶林、灌木林和草甸下的土壤动物群落进行调查.从3种植被下共捕获土壤动物48343只,隶属于7门16纲31目117科.不同植被类型的大型土壤动物优势类群差异较大,其土壤动物类群数存在显著差异(P＜0.05).3种植被下土壤动物个体密度与类群数的垂直分布均具有明显表聚性.针叶林苔藓层的土壤动物个体密度与类群数极显著高于凋落物层和土壤层（P＜0.01）.不同植被下土壤动物密度 类群指数(DG)存在极显著差异(P＜0.01).大型土壤动物生物量在6月达到最大值.Jacard相似系数显示:受干扰草甸的土壤动物群落与其他植被相似程度最低.表明植被类型对土壤动物群落结构特征影响显著;坡向、海拔以及干扰等因素对土壤动物群落结构也有影响.     

物种多样性及生物量与地下水位的关系——以海流兔河流域为例

以3条样带上117块植被群落调查样方为基础资料,研究了海流兔河流域植被物种多样性及生物量与地下水位之间的关系。结果表明:1)地下水位高低及地貌类型均会影响草本层植物群落组成及优势种构成。滩地样地中,随地下水位降低,优势草本的更替方向为寸草,芨芨草,马蔺,狗尾草,碱茅;沙坡样地中,优势草本的更替方向为大针茅,沙鞭,沙蓬,沙打旺。2)地下水位为1.5 m时是草本植物群落生长发育最适宜区域,物种多样性及丰富度达到最大,而灌木层物种多样性及丰富度随地下水位下降呈现波动变化的特征;当地下水位埋深小于5.0 m时,草本层物种多样性及丰富度明显高于灌木层,在地下水位埋深大于5.0 m时,草本层物种多样性指数开始出现低于灌木层的现象。3)草本植物多样性及丰富度和生物量之间关联性不强,滩地样地中,草本层地上生物量及地下生物量在地下水位为1.8 m时具有最大值,但植物群落结构较为单一;沙坡样地中,地上生物量最大值出现在地下水位为5.0 m的区域内,而地下生物量最大值出现在地下水位为3.5 m时。综上,物种多样性、地上及地下生物量与地下水位都不是简单的线性关系,而是有一个最适水位;高于或低于这个最适水位,多样性和生物量都会下降。     

Species composition and diversity of soil animals in the oil shale dump in Maoming, Guangdong Province, China

Pollution from the oil shale dump in Maoming, Guangdong Province, China, was a major social problem due to the great amount of environmental damage it caused. Therefore, a great deal of attention needed to be paid for the ecological restoration and reconstruction. The objective of this study was to investigate the species composition of soil fauna and its diversity in oil shale dumps after the application of different ecological restoration schemes in order to understand the impact they had on ecological restoration. Three plots were selected on an oil shale dump near the city of Maoming. The “north plot” was a newly-planted young forest mixed with various tree species, while the “south plot” was a 20-year-old Acacia auriculaeformis forest, and the “control plot” was a 20-year-old naturally-recovering grassland. Soil animals, mainly including macro-meso groups, were collected by hand-sorting and Tullgren funnel extraction. They were then identified to family or genus level with only a small portion to order (e.g. Chllopoda) or species (e.g. Isopoda) level. The specimens obtained in the present study was 11164 individuals, belonging to 27 orders and 110 families or genera. The Shannon index (H′), DG_s (based on species) and DG_g (based on groups) were used to analyze the diversity of soil animals between different plots. The major results were as follows: A total of 33 families or genera belonging to nine orders were found in the “north plot”. The main group was Caritermes, accounting for 63.4% of the total, followed by Tetramorium with 21.3%. Hymenoptera, mainly Formicidae, had more genera than others, accounting for 80% of the total genera in this group. The diversity of soil animals in this plot was very low because the H′ index was only 1.2, while the DG_s index was 4.0 and the DG_g index was 1.3. A total of 61 families or genera belonging to 23 orders were found in the “south plot”. Malmcoangelia and Tetramorium were the main groups, which accounted for 60.3% and 10.2%, respectively. Two genera of Annelda and two genera of Isopoda only accounted for 2.6% and 1.9%, respectively, but they were considered to be major groups due to their large body sizes and the distinct characteristics of their habitat. Acarina had a greater number of individuals and families or genera with its individual number accounting for 67.5% of the total, and the number of families or genera of this group account for 70% in this plot. The diversity indexes (H′, DG_s and DG_g) in this plot were significantly higher than those in the “north plot”, and were 1.65, 16.7 and 7.75, respectively. In the “control plot”, there were 67 families or genera of soil animals belonging to 23 orders. The main groups were Tetramorium (20%), Lasius (17.1%), Bothriomymex of Formicidae (13.8%), and Malmcoangelia of oribatid mites (14.5%). Formicidae of Hymenoptera was the group with the maximum number of individuals, accounting for 51.0%, while Diplopoda had the most families or genera. The H′ and DG_s indexes, being 2.54 and 17.7, were higher than those in the “south plot”, while the DG_g index of 7.20 was lower than that in the “south plot”. The results showed that the species composition and diversity indexes were higher in the “south plot” than in the “north plot” and the “control plot”, which demonstrated that using Acacia auriculaeformis forest to restore the oil shale dump was an effective approach in terms of soil biodiversity.
