Phosphorus (P) is considered a primary cause for surface water eutrophication that leads to anoxia. Understanding the relationships between soil particle size and P sorption helps devise effective best management practices (BMPs) to control P transport by erosion, leaching, and overland flow from agricultural land. Consequently, this study examined the effect of surface soil particle size on the sorption of P in five soil series (four Ultisols and one Entisol) from the Mid-Atlantic region. The sorption of P in each soil was assessed by equilibrating (after shaking for 24?h) 5?g soil containing varied amounts of KH2PO4 in 20?mL of 0.01?M KCl solution. Phosphorus in solution was determined by the molybdate blue method of Murphy and Riley. The P adsorption characteristics of these soils were described using the Langmuir isotherm. Results indicated that variability in P sorption was related to particle size and soil type. Soil organic matter content contributed a great deal to P sorption in the Entisol. However, soil clay had influence on the P sorption characteristics of each soil. The maximum P retentive capacities of soils (as determined by Sm from Langmuir equation) and P sorbed at 500?mg P kg?1 addition showed a linear relationship (r2 = 0.94). Therefore, based on the results obtained, the single point method of Bache and Williams may be appropriate to describe the maximum P sorption capacity of non-sandy soils, as observed in this study. 相似文献

We tested whether levels of soil available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) control the composition and function of the soil microbial community in a Brown Chernozemic soil on the Canadian Prairie. Soil dissolved organic carbon, N and P, and microbial communities structure (phospholipid fatty acid profile) and function (enzyme activity) were evaluated in the fallow and first wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. AC Eatonia) phases of fallow-wheat-wheat rotations where the wheat received soil test recommended rates of mineral N and P fertilizers (+N+P), or where N (?N+P) or P (+N?P) fertilizer use was withheld for 37 years. Differential fertilization modified soil N and P availability, and microbial community structure. Low N level was a major constraint when a rapidly growing wheat crop (heading stage) was drawing on the resource, reducing both plant N uptake and soil microbial biomass-C in ?N+P soils. Available P level in +N?P soils was about half that measured in P-fertilized soils, but P did not limit plant productivity or microbial development at that time. Changes in the microbial community structure seemingly buffered the impact of lower P availability in +N?P soils. Phosphatase activity was not involved, but increased abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi might be associated with this effect. Low soil N availability explained lower specific denitrification and higher specific nitrogenase activities in ?N+P soil growing wheat. Higher denitrification activity in +N+P soil could be attributed to higher soil C level and fertilization-induced shifts observed in the structure of the soil microbial community. Irrespective of the fertility level of the soil, all microbial communities grew at the relative growth rate of 17% day?1 in a nutrient limitation assay that revealed no C, N or P limitation in these communities. We conclude that mineral fertilization, which modifies soil available N and P fertility, can be a selective force causing structural and functional shifts in the soil microbial community with a resulting impact on soil quality and nutrient fluxes. 相似文献

The effect of three different inocula of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was studied on the growth, biomass, P uptake, root colonization and AM spore production in tisssue culture-raised Dendrocalamus asper (bamboo) plantlets in two types of soil: (1) sand?:?soil 1?:?1 (2) sand?:?soil?:?organic manure 1?:?1?:?0.5 (v/v). The first two inocula were isolated from the bamboo rhizosphere and the third from teak rhizosphere soil. After 12 months, significant positive effects of inoculum on shoot P concentration, root colonization and spore production were observed in the sand?:?soil medium. In the organic manure-amended medium, these parameters further improved. Amendment with organic manure highly influenced spore production (5.3 to 17.8 fold increase) and enhanced height and dry biomass of D. asper plantlets. 相似文献

Screening Perennial Warm-Season Bioenergy Crops as an Alternative for Phytoremediation of Excess Soil P 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A recent alternative strategy to reduce environmental problems associated with P transport from agricultural soils is the use of bioenergy crops to remediate excess soil P. In addition to the positive impacts associated with P mitigation, harvested biomass used as a renewable energy source can also offset the cost associated with plant-based P remediation strategies. The objective of this study was to identify potential crop species that can be used for remediation of soil P and as a cellulosic feedstock for production of renewable energy in South Florida. Fifteen crop entries were investigated for their potential to remove P from a P-enriched soil. Dry matter (DM) yield varied among crop species with greatest yield observed for elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) and sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) (43 and 39 Mg?ha?1 year?1, respectively). Similarly, greater P removal rates were observed for elephantgrass (up to 126 kg?P?ha?1 year?1 in 2008) followed by sugarcane (62 kg?P?ha?1 year?1 in 2008). Although there was no effect (P?=?0.45) of crop species on P reduction in the soil, soil P concentrations decreased linearly during the 3-year study. Because of its relatively greater DM yield and P removal rates, elephantgrass was shown to be a good candidate for remediation of excess soil P in South Florida Spodosols. 相似文献

Background
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is wide-spread in agricultural soils. In light of increasing P fertilizer costs, it is of interest to assess the capacity of soil microbes to mobilise native soil P and added P. There is currently no method to assess P mobilisation in situ.Methods
The soil P mobilisation potential was assessed by incubating low P soil for up to 30?days with poorly available P sources; C and N were added to increase microbial activity and ensure that only P was limiting microbial growth.Results
The increase in microbial P from day 0 to day 15 showed that microbes were able to mobilise P from FePO4 and phytate. The P mobilisation potential (sum of microbial and resin P) of the rhizosphere soil decreased in the following order: faba bean > chickpea and white lupin > wheat. After 10?days, up to 80% of the mobilised P was microbial P, whereas after 30?days, almost all P mobilised was resin P.Conclusions
The method developed in this study is useful assessing not only potential of a soil to mobilise P but also, by using different poorly available P sources, the mechanisms of P mobilisation. 相似文献6.
Background
Soil phosphorus (P) availability can be an important regulator of ecosystem processes. Changes in P availability over time have long been studied, but the P concentration of soil parent materials—which determines ecosystem P concentration at the onset of soil formation—have never been systematically explored. Here we ask two questions: 1) how does P concentration vary among soil parent materials? and 2) under what range of conditions do those differences influence soil P concentration?Methods
We used the Earthchem webportal to compile the P concentration of 263,539 rocks. We then gathered data from 62 sites (MAT ranging from 200–5,000 mm?yr-1 and soil age from 0.3–4,100 ky) and assessed the correlation between rock and soil P concentration.Results
We found a 30 fold difference in median P concentration among rock types, ranging from 120 ppm (several ultramafic rocks) to >3,000 ppm (several alkali basalts). Median P was significantly lower in common silica-rich rocks (e.g. granite - 436 ppm) and higher in common iron-rich rocks (e.g. andesite - 1,000 ppm). In sedimentary rocks, which make up 70 % of the ice-free land surface, median P was highest in mudstone (1,135 ppm) and decreased with increasing grainsize (siltstone-698 ppm, sandstone-500 ppm). Where soil P and parent material P were measured in the same site, parent material P explained 42 % of the variance in total soil P (n?=?62), and explanatory power was higher for sites with similar climate.Conclusion
The variation in P concentration among common rock types is on a comparable scale to the changes in total P, and several P pools, over long-term soil development. Quantifying these differences may be an important step towards characterizing regional and global variation in soil and ecosystem P status. 相似文献7.

A simulated drought experiment was conducted in a rain-free shed to test the physiological response of Platycladus orientalis and Robinia pseudoacacia saplings to steady soil water stress during different stages. The five soil water treatments were: 100%, 87.84%, 70%, 52.16% and 40% of field capacity. The results showed that the net photosynthetic rate of R. pseudoacacia decreased as soil water potential decreased in the range between -0.041 MPa and -0.292 MPa. The threshold value at which the net photosynthetic rate changed significantly was -0.12 MPa. The relationship between net photosynthetic rate of P. orientalis and soil water potential could be described as a quadratic parabola in the range between -0.041 MPa and -0.648 MPa. Analysis of variance showed significant differences in the net photosynthetic rate of P. orientalis between soil water potentials of -0.061 MPa ~, -0.648 MPa. Average water use efficiency (WUE) increased as soil water potential decreased, but the influence mechanism of soil water stress on leaf WUE and photosynthetic rate for the two species were different evidently. 相似文献

The availability of phosphorus (P) can limit net primary production (NPP) in tropical rainforests growing on highly weathered soils. Although it is well known that plant roots release organic acids to acquire P from P-deficient soils, the importance of organic acid exudation in P-limited tropical rainforests has rarely been verified. Study sites were located in two tropical montane rainforests (a P-deficient older soil and a P-rich younger soil) and a tropical lowland rainforest on Mt. Kinabalu, Borneo to analyze environmental control of organic acid exudation with respect to soil P availability, tree genus, and NPP. We quantified root exudation of oxalic, citric, and malic acids using in situ methods in which live fine roots were placed in syringes containing nutrient solution. Exudation rates of organic acids were greatest in the P-deficient soil in the tropical montane rainforest. The carbon (C) fluxes of organic acid exudation in the P-deficient soil (0.7?mol?C?m?2?month?1) represented 16.6% of the aboveground NPP, which was greater than those in the P-rich soil (3.1%) and in the lowland rainforest (4.7%), which exhibited higher NPP. The exudation rates of organic acids increased with increasing root surface area and tip number. A shift in vegetation composition toward dominance by tree species exhibiting a larger root surface area might contribute to the higher organic acid exudation observed in P-deficient soil. Our results quantitatively showed that tree roots can release greater quantities of organic acids in response to P deficiency in tropical rainforests. 相似文献

The rough outcomes of a long-term experiment in Kenya were (re-)interpreted using simple models to find causes of success or failure with regard to sustained soil productivity. A two- pools model calculated the development of soil organic matter, and a practical equation estimated the residual effect of fertilizer P. Relative mineralization rate was 4 and 8%?y?1 for original and newly formed soil organic carbon (SOC). Maize yielded 0.25 and 1.1 t?ha?1 per g?kg?1 of original and new SOC, respectively. Yields of fertilized maize increased initially as a result of increasing residual effects of applied P, but decreased later presumably because SOC declined to below a critical level of 16 g?kg?1. To maintain SOC above this level, about 10 tons of farmyard manure (dry matter) must be applied annually. Agronomic nutrient use efficiencies for fertilizer N and P were low, but the residual effect of P was high. The simple model outlined half a century ago adequately calculated build-up of new soil organic matter. The estimated residual effect of fertilizer P explained increasing crop responses to repeated P applications. The absence of data on nutrient uptake by the crop strongly limited the understanding of the experimental results. 相似文献

Background and aims
Little is known about the soil phosphorus (P) biogeochemical cycling in response to combined warming and grazing, especially in the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Here, we used a free-air temperature enhancement system in a controlled warming-grazing experiment to test the hypothesis that combined warming and grazing would significantly accelerate mineralization of soil organic P.Methods
A two factorial design of warming (1.2–1.7°C temperature increase) and moderate grazing was utilized. A fractionation method was applied to investigate the sizes of different soil inorganic and organic P fractions.Results
Results showed that both warming and grazing significantly decreased the quantity of organic P extracted by first NaOH (N(I)Po), as well as the total extractable organic P (TPo) at the 0–10?cm depth. Warming also decreased the total P of soil at 0–10?cm. The combined warming and grazing treatment (WG) led to the reduction of major soil organic P fractions (N(I)Po, TPo) by 40–48% and 28–32%, respectively compared with other treatments at 0–10?cm. The activities of acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterase (AcPME and AlPME) were both enhanced by warming and grazing, and their interaction. Decreased concentrations of soil N(I)Po and TPo were accompanied by increased AcPME activity (P?<?0.01) and soil temperature (P?<?0.05), indicating the enhanced mineralization of organic P under rising temperature. Meanwhile, leaf biomass P of two major species (Potentilla anserine and Gentiana straminea) within these plots were significantly enhanced by either grazing or warming.Conclusions
The microbial mineralization of soil organic P could be strongly increased under combined warming and grazing conditions as driven by increasing plant demand for P and enhanced microbial activities. 相似文献11.

Tea root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus loosi, is one of the most important crop pests in Iran, which causes loss in quantity and quality of tea. This study was carried out to identify the relationship between soil pH and population level of P. loosi. One hundred and eighty-three soil and root samples were taken randomly from all of the tea plantations in Iran. The nematodes were extracted from root samples with Coolen and d’Herd methods and from soil samples by sieving and centrifugation. Soil pH was measured by two methods: 1:1 dilution of soil:deionised water and 1:1 dilution of soil:dilute calcium chloride 0.01?M (Cacl2) solution. Range of mean population of P. loosi per gram of root was 0.66–884 and per 100?g of soil was 1–186 in all samples. The highest population of P. loosi was observed at pH 3.5–4.5 as if 71.33% of infested samples were observed at soil pH 3.5–4.5. The results of regression analyses showed that at pH ranges between 3.5 and 4.5, there is a correlation (P???0.05) between soil pH and mean population of nematode per gram of feeder roots. This study demonstrated that the population density and damage potential of this nematode likely increases at pH?<?4.5. 相似文献

Aims Land use management affects plant carbon (C) supply and soil environments and hence alters soil nitrogen (N) dynamics, with consequent feedbacks to terrestrial ecosystem productivity. The objective of this study was to better identify mechanisms by which land-use management (clipping and shading) regulates soil N in a tallgrass prairie, OK, USA.Methods We conducted 1-year clipping and shading experiment to investigate the effects of changes in land-use management (soil microclimates, plant C substrate supply and microbial activity) on soil inorganic N (NH 4 + ? N and NO 3 ? ? N), net N mineralization and nitrification in a tallgrass prairie.Important findings Land-use management through clipping and/or shading significantly increased annual mean inorganic N, possibly due to lowered plant N uptake and decreased microbial N immobilization into biomass growth. Shading significantly increased annual mean mineralization rates (P < 0.05). Clipping slightly decreased annual mean N nitrification rates whereas shading significantly increased annual mean N nitrification rates. Soil microclimate significantly explained 36% of the variation in NO 3 ? ? N concentrations (P = 0.004). However, soil respiration, a predictor of plant C substrate supply and microbial activity, was negatively correlated with NH 4 + ? N concentrations (P = 0.0009), net N mineralization (P = 0.0037) and nitrification rates (P = 0.0028) across treatments. Our results suggest that change in C substrate supply and microbial activity under clipping and/or shading is a critical control on NH 4 + ? N, net N mineralization and nitrification rates, whereas clipping and shading-induced soil microclimate change can be important for NO 3 ? ? N variation in the tallgrass prairie. 相似文献

为探究翻耕和补播导致高寒草原土壤养分垂直分布特征变化,以青藏高原青海湖区芨芨草(Achnather?um splendens)草原为实验对象,分析1958年翻耕和1990年补播两种不同的草地恢复措施对高寒草原土壤养分含量及分布特征(0~10,10~20,20~30,30~40,40~60 cm)的影响。结果表明:翻耕、补播措施下土壤有机碳和全钾含量均显著高于原生芨芨草样地(P<0.05),而不利于土壤全氮含量的恢复,两种扰动均有利于芨芨草草原土壤浅层(0~10 cm)速效磷、有机碳养分富集;翻耕后土壤有机碳、全氮和速效钾均随土层深度的增加而降低(P<0.05),全磷、全钾及土壤pH、容重在各土层间差异不显著。相比对照样地,补播导致各土层速效氮养分显著降低(P<0.01),但翻耕和补播扰动均使土壤全钾含量显著升高,深层土(40~60 cm)全氮(TN)含量显著降低(P<0.05);对照原生芨芨草样地,补播后土壤全氮与全磷含量出现显著正相关关系(P<0.05),而翻耕措施导致原有的速效磷与速效氮二者相关性不显著,两种措施均引起土壤养分与容重之间负相关性。翻耕、补播后土壤pH显著降低,扰动使土壤理化性质改变,以及表层速效养分汇集于浅层土壤,将加快土壤养分的周转,输出量增加促进了地上植被恢复,除全钾含量外,以上两种措施引起不同土层全量养分的恢复是一个极其缓慢过程。 相似文献

Background and aims
The combined effects of (1) reduced soil moisture availability, (2) reduced application of inorganic fertilisers while incorporating straw, (3) soil type, and their effects on growth, root system plasticity, phosphorus (P) nutrition of rice, and soil P dynamics are poorly known, but very important when aiming to increase the efficiency of water and P use.Methods
Using large pots a three-factor factorial experiment was conducted with two moisture treatments (i.e. continuous flooding, and draining of top soil after flowering while subsoil was kept moist through capillary action), three fertilisation treatments; with (P1) and without (P0) applications of inorganic P fertilisers, and 25 % of inorganic fertilisers reduced while incorporating straw (5 t ha?1), and soil type (i.e. clay and sandy soils with 15 and 9 mg P kg?1 soil, respectively in P0). Shoot and root growth, root system plasticity, P nutrient status and soil P dynamics were measured.Key results
Straw incorporation with reduced inorganic fertiliser application ensured a higher shoot dry weight and yield only in flooded clay soil as compared with P0 and P1, and a similar shoot dry weight and yield to P1 under drained clay soil. A positive growth response was facilitated by an increased water-use efficiency and rate of photosynthesis in shoots, and increased root system plasticity through the production of greater root length, more roots in deep soil layers, and an increased fraction of fine roots. Straw enhanced P extractability in soil. Drained soil reduced P uptake (15–45 %) and increased P-use efficiency. In addition to the re-translocation of P from senescing leaves and stems under both moisture conditions, the P concentration in green leaves under drained condition was also reduced (41–72 %).Conclusion
Growth benefits of straw incorporation were observed in clay soil under both moisture conditions, and this was facilitated by the improved P availability, increased P uptake, and greater root system plasticity with the production of deeper and finer roots, compared with that in sandy soil, and inorganic fertiliser applications alone. As P uptake was reduced under drained soil, P re-translocation and % P allocated to panicles increased. 相似文献15.

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16.
Trace gas flux and the influence of short-term soil water and temperature dynamics in Australian sheep grazed pastures of differing productivity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Temperate pastures are often managed with P fertilizers and N2-fixing legumes to maintain and increase pasture productivity which may lead to greater nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and reduced methane (CH4) uptake. However, the diel and inter-daily variation in N2O and CH4 flux in pastures is poorly understood, especially in relation to key environmental drivers. We investigated the effect of pasture productivity, rainfall, and changing soil moisture and temperature upon short-term soil N2O and CH4 flux dynamics during spring in sheep grazed pasture systems in southeastern Australia. N2O and CH4 flux was measured continuously in a High P (23 kg P ha?1 yr?1) and No P pasture treatment and in a sheep camp area in a Low P (4 kg P ha?1 yr?1) pasture for a four week period in spring 2005 using an automated trace gas system. Although pasture productivity was three-fold greater in the High P than No P treatment, mean CH4 uptake was similar (?6.3?±?SE 0.3 to ?8.6?±?0.4 μg C m?2 hr?1) as were mean N2O emissions (6.5 to 7.9?±?0.8 μg N m?2 hr?1), although N2O flux in the No P pasture did not respond to changing soil water conditions. N2O emissions were greatest in the Low P sheep camp (12.4 μg?±?1.1 N m?2 hr?1) where there were also net CH4 emissions of 5.2?±?0.5 μg C m?2 hr?1. There were significant, but weak, relationships between soil water and N2O emissions, but not between soil water and CH4 flux. The diel temperature cycle strongly influenced CH4 and N2O emissions, but this was often masked by the confounding covariate effects of changing soil water content. There were no consistently significant differences in soil mineral N or gross N transformation rates, however, measurements of substrate induced respiration (SIR) indicated that soil microbial processes in the highly productive pasture are more N limited than P limited after >20 years of P fertilizer addition. Increased productivity, through P fertilizer and legume management, did not significantly increase N2O emissions, or reduce CH4 uptake, during this 4 week measurement period, but the lack of an N2O response to rainfall in the No P pasture suggests this may be evident over a longer measurement period. This study also suggests that small compacted and nutrient enriched areas of grazed pastures may contribute greatly to the overall N2O and CH4 trace gas balance. 相似文献

Amending soils of different texture with six compost types: impact on soil nutrient availability, plant growth and nutrient uptake 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Background
Composts with different feedstocks may have differential effects on soil properties and plant growth which, may be further modulated by soil texture.Materials and methods
In a 77-day pot experiment in the glasshouse, we investigated the effect of a single application as mulch of six types of composts derived from different starting feedstocks in two soils (13% and 46% clay, referred to as S13 and S46) on soil physical, chemical and biological properties, plant growth and nutrient uptake. Composts were placed as 2.5?cm thick mulch layer on the soil surface and wheat plants were grown and harvested at 42?days and at 77?days (grain filling).Results
Composts differed in total and available N and P and particle size with C1, C3, C4 and C5 being fine-textured, whereas C2 and C6 were coarse-textured. Compost addition as mulch increased soil total organic C and EC, but had no effect on pH. In all treatments, cumulative soil respiration was higher in S13 than in S46 and was increased by compost addition with the greatest increase with C2 and C6. Compared to the unamended soil, most compost mulches (except C2) increased macroaggregate stability. Compost mulches significantly increased available P and N in both soils, except for C2. Compost mulches increased available N up to 6-fold in both soils with the strongest increase by C5. Most composts also increased wheat growth and shoot P and N concentrations with the greatest effect on plant N concentration by C5 and on plant P concentration by C4. However, C2 decreased shoot N and P concentrations compared to the unamended soil. Most compost mulches (except C2) increased mycorrhizal colonization by up to 50% compared to the unamended soil.Conclusions
Fine-textured compost mulches generally had a greater effect on soil properties and plant growth than coarse-textured composts. Despite distinct differences between the soils with respect to clay content, TOC and available P, the effect of the compost mulches on soil and plant properties was quite similar. 相似文献18.

Two shrub species (Piliostigma reticulatum (D.C.) Hochst (Caesalpinioideae) and Guiera senegalensis J.F. Gmel (Combretaceae) are commonly found in farmers’ fields at varying densities in semi-arid Senegal and throughout the Sahel where soils have chronically low phosphorus (P) availability. It seems plausible that shrub litter and the rhizospheres could influence P fractions and other chemical soil properties that affect crop productivity. Thus, a study was done at two sites, on the distribution of inorganic and organic soil P pools, organic C levels, and pH in soil beneath and outside the canopies of P. reticulatum and G. senegalensis (0-30 cm depth). Both sites had low total P ranging from 64 mg P kg?1 to 135 mg P kg-1, and low extractable PO4 (resin Pi) (1–6 mg P kg?1) with P fractions dominated by NaOH-P. Organic P (Po) made up about 50% of total P, and most of the organic P (>60%) was found in the NaOH-P fractions. The labile P, particularly bicarb-Po was higher in soil beneath shrub canopies (8.4 mg P kg ?1), than outside the canopy (6.2 mg P kg ?1). Similarly, C, N and P to a lesser extent, were more concentrated beneath shrub canopies. P. reticulatum soil was dominated by the NaOH-Po fraction, whereas G. senegalensis had higher bicarb-Po at one of the study sites. An index of biologically available organic P (Bicarb-Po) / (Bicarb-Po?+?Bicar-Pi?+?Resin Pi) was ?>?60% and indicates that biological processes represent an important part of P cycling in these shrub ecosystems. The differential ability of shrubs in modifying soil chemical properties under their canopies has major implications for biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and C in sandy soils of semi arid Sahelian ecosystems. 相似文献

Bioavailability of zinc and phosphorus in calcareous soils as affected by citrate exudation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Aims
Zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P) deficiency often occurs at the same time and limits crop production in many soils. It has been suggested that citrate root exudation is a response of plants to both deficiencies. We used white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) as a model plant to clarify if citrate exuded by roots could increase the bioavailability of Zn and P in calcareous soils.Methods
White lupin was grown in nutrient solution and in two calcareous soils in a rhizobox. Rhizosphere soil solution was sampled to determine citrate, metals and P. Based on the measured citrate concentrations, a soil extraction experiment with citrate as extractant was done.Results
Absence of Zn triggered neither cluster root formation nor citrate exudation of white lupin grown in nutrient solution, whereas low P supply did. The maximum citrate concentration (~1.5?mM) found in the cluster rhizosphere soil solution of one soil mobilized P, but not Zn. In the other soil the highest citrate concentration (~0.5?mM) mobilized both elements.Conclusions
White lupin does not respond to low Zn bioavailability by increasing citrate exudation. Such a response was observed at low P supply only. Whether Zn and P can be mobilized by citrate is soil-dependent and the possible controlling mechanisms are discussed. 相似文献20.

Nine categories of soil arthropods and 24 soil phy sicochemical properties were surveyed in 31 plots of a suburb of Qianjiang City, Hubei, China, in 1993 to 1994. Using factor analysis, 24 soil properties were reduced to five key soil factors (salt content, available K and P, organic matter, soil particles, Cd content), which were composed of 12 variables. Both simple correlation and canonical correlation analysis of the key soil factors and soil arthropods revealed positive correlations between Isopoda and Formicidae and the salt content factor, and between Chilopoda and the available P and K factor. Canonical correlation analysis also revealed a positive relationship between Formicidae, Isopoda, Diplopoda, and Staphylinidae and available K and P, and between Araneae, Staphylinidae, Diplopoda, and Formicidae and organic matter; and indicated a close relationship between Araneae, Staphylinidae, Diplopoda, and Formicidae and sandy loam soil. Results also indicated that Cd concentrations of 0.15?mg/kg to 0.41?mg/kg in soil with a high content of water did not significantly influence the nine arthropod categories. 相似文献
