四季竹对不同浓度NaCl胁迫的生理响应

以夏秋季优良笋用竹种四季竹盆栽苗为材料,研究了土壤中1‰~6‰浓度NaCl(干重)处理对四季竹叶片脱落率、离子渗漏率、丙二醛(MDA)含量、抗氧化酶活性以及渗透调节物质含量的变化特征,以探讨四季竹的抗盐机理。结果表明:(1)随NaCl浓度的增大和处理时间的延长,四季竹叶片脱落率逐渐增加;四季竹在1‰~2‰NaCl浓度下的土壤中生长良好,在3‰~5‰浓度下随处理浓度的增大伤害逐渐加重,但这种伤害是可逆的,6‰是四季竹的半致死盐浓度。(2)叶片离子渗漏率随NaCl浓度的增大而显著增大,在6‰浓度处理下随处理时间的延长近直线升高,在3‰~5‰浓度下先升高后降低,而在1‰~2‰浓度处理下变化平缓且与同期对照无显著差异;叶片MDA含量随NaCl浓度的增大而增加,随处理时间的延长先增加后降低。(3)四季竹叶片SOD和POD活性在胁迫3~15 d均出现先下降后上升的过程,其有一定的锻炼适应性;叶片脯氨酸含量随NaCl处理浓度的增大而增加,其随处理时间的延长在1‰~2‰浓度处理下变化平缓,在3‰~6‰浓度处理下显著增加后减小;各浓度处理的可溶性蛋白含量随处理时间的延长先增加后减小,但均高于对照。研究发现,四季竹是较耐盐竹种,其可以通过调控自身保护酶活性和渗透调节物质含量来有效缓解盐胁迫伤害,从而表现出一定的耐盐能力。     

CO2浓度升高对毛竹器官矿质离子吸收、运输和分配的影响

为了给大气CO2浓度逐渐升高背景下的毛竹林适应性经营管理提供理论依据,运用开顶式气室(OTCs)模拟大气CO2浓度升高(500、700 μmol/mol)情景,以目前环境背景大气为对照,研究了Na+、Fe2+-Fe3+、Ca2+、Mg2+等矿质离子在毛竹器官中吸收、运输和分配的变化规律.结果显示,除CO2浓度700 μmoL/mol对Ca2+浓度在毛竹器官中大小排序会产生影响外,CO2浓度500、700 μmol/mol并未改变毛竹器官中Na+、Fe2+,Fe3+、Mg2+、Ca2+浓度的大小排序.CO2浓度升高对竹叶Fe2+-Fe3+和竹枝Fe2+-Fe3+、Mg2+浓度无明显影响,但对器官的其它矿质离子浓度会有不同程度的影响,竹叶Ca2+和Mg2+、竹枝Na+和Ca2+、竹秆Na+和Ca2+及Mg2+、竹根Na+和Mg2+浓度明显提高,竹叶Na+、竹秆Fe2+-Fe3+、竹根Fe2+-Fe3+和Ca2+浓度明显降低;随着CO2浓度的升高,竹叶Fe2+-Fe3+/Na+、Mg2+/Na+和Ca2+/Na+,竹枝Ca2+/Mg2+及各器官Mg2+/Fe2+-Fe3+、Ca2+/Fe2+-Fe3+均逐渐增大,而竹枝、竹秆、竹根Fe2+-Fe3+/Na+、Mg2+/Na+、Ca2+/Na+和竹叶、竹秆、竹根Ca2+/Mg2+均逐渐减小;CO2浓度升高后除竹根-竹秆Sca.Na、竹秆-竹枝SMg,Fe和竹枝-竹叶Sca,Mg明显下降外,其余的毛竹器官矿质离子向上运输系数变化平缓或明显提高.研究表明CO2浓度升高增强了毛竹立竹根部积累Na+能力和Fe2+-Fe3+、Ca2+和Mg2+的向上选择性运输能力,提高了光合器官竹叶中矿质养分元素浓度,可维持体内矿质养分元素平衡,有利于提高毛竹对高浓度CO2环境的适应能力.

NaCl胁迫对玉米幼苗不同器官离子含量的影响

在实验室水培条件下,研究了NaCl胁迫下玉米幼苗不同器官中Na+、K+,Ca2+,Mg 2+和Cl-含量的变化.结果表明:玉米各个部分Na+和Cl-含量、Na+/K+和Na+/Ca2+比值均随着培养液中NaCl浓度的增加而迅速提高,Na+,K+和Cl-含量的变化幅度为根系>成熟叶叶鞘>生长叶>成熟叶叶片,玉米幼苗根系最易受外界离子浓度的影响,叶片受外界环境影响较小;各器官中Ca2+、Mg2+对盐胁迫的响应不一致,NaCl胁迫使根系中Ca2+、Mg2+含量下降,成熟叶叶鞘中Mg2+含量变化规律性不明显,而NaCl胁迫下,成熟叶叶片中Ca2+、Mg2+含量增加;玉米幼苗具有拒Na+机制,具有一定的耐盐性,它的耐盐性是通过根和成熟叶叶鞘来实现的,Na+主要贮存在根系和成熟叶叶鞘中,而向成熟叶叶片和生长叶中运输较少;成熟叶叶鞘同时还具有拒Cl-能力.     

四季竹耐盐能力的季节性差异

以四季竹2 a生竹苗为材料,通过盆栽试验设置土壤不同NaCl含量模拟盐胁迫环境,研究其在非生理活跃期的冬季(11-12月份)和生理活跃期的夏季(5-6月份)盐胁迫下的生理响应和叶片脱落情况,以了解四季竹耐盐能力的季节性差异。结果表明,在低土壤NaCl盐分(1‰-2‰)条件下,相同浓度处理45 d的竹苗叶片脱落率和各项生理指标较对照变化在冬季和夏季间差异不大,说明在低盐分条件下四季竹耐盐能力季节性差异不明显。在高土壤NaCl盐分(3‰-5‰)条件下,相同浓度处理45 d的叶片中除可溶性蛋白含量较对照升降幅度冬夏两季基本一致外,叶片脱落率、离子渗漏率、SOD活性、POD活性、脯氨酸含量和叶绿素含量分别较对照增加或降低的幅度冬季均显著小于夏季,并且随土壤NaCl浓度的提高冬夏两季的差异逐渐加大,而丙二醛含量和叶绿素a／叶绿素 b变化规律在夏冬两季间完全相反,说明在高土壤盐分(3‰-5‰)条件下相同浓度、相同时间处理的四季竹在夏季的受伤害程度显著大于冬季,即高盐条件下四季竹在生理活跃期的夏季的耐盐能力较非生理活跃期的冬季弱。土壤盐分和环境温度对四季竹生长具有较强的交互作用。

以引进日本的设施栽培专用耐盐茄子品种Torvum Vigor为砧木,栽培品种苏崎茄为接穗,通过营养液栽培对80 mmol·L-1NaCl胁迫下茄子嫁接苗和自根苗的生长和离子分布进行了比较.结果表明,(1)NaCl胁迫下嫁接苗茎伸长受抑制程度显著低于自根苗,嫁接苗根部生长旺盛;(2)嫁接苗根部贮存一定量的Na 、Cl-,地上部除叶柄外各部位Na 、Cl-含量均显著低于自根苗;(3)NaCl胁迫后嫁接苗在幼叶和根部保持较高K /Na 和Ca2 /Na 值;(4)嫁接苗根部选择吸收SK,Na、SCa,Na值和幼叶选择运输SK,Na、SCa,Na值均显著高于自根苗.因此,嫁接茄子因根部Na 、Cl-的贮存,减轻了地上部的盐离子毒害,而且K 和Ca2 在幼叶和根部的特异积累使其K /Na 值和Ca2 /Na 值提高,从而增强了耐盐性.     

二氧化碳和臭氧浓度升高对四季竹矿质养分含量和运输的影响

为阐明CO_2和O_3浓度升高对竹子矿质养分含量和运输的影响,以2年生四季竹(Oligostachyum lubricum)为试材,采用开顶式气室(OTCs)设置了环境背景大气[CK,(40±5)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(360±20)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]、O_3浓度升高[EO,(100±10)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(360±20)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]、CO_2浓度升高[EC,(40±5)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(700±35)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]、CO_2和O_3浓度复合升高[EOEC,(100±10)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(700±35)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]4个处理,测定了竹叶、竹枝、竹秆和竹根的Na+、Fe(~(2+,3+)、Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)含量,并分析了矿质营养在器官间的转运情况。结果显示:与CK比较,EO处理显著降低了四季竹植株体内Na+和Fe(~(2+,3+)含量,特别是竹根和竹叶,同时也明显降低Na+和Fe(~(2+,3+)器官间的运输能力。EC处理显著降低了四季竹植株体内Na+含量,而未改变其他矿质元素含量,但其器官中的分配格局和运输能力发生变化,尤其是竹枝向竹叶运输Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)的能力增强。EOEC处理显著降低了四季竹植株体内Na+含量,但显著提高了Fe(~(2+,3+)、Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)含量及其向上运输能力。研究表明,O_3浓度升高降低了四季竹植株体内矿质养分含量和器官间养分运输能力,在一定程度上影响四季竹的正常生长;CO_2浓度升高通过提高Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)向光合器官叶片的运输能力,促进四季竹生长;CO_2和O_3浓度升高复合作用能够通过提高四季竹光合器官竹叶中Fe(~(2+,3+)、Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)含量及其向光合器官叶片的运输能力,以维持体内矿质养分元素的平衡,提高四季竹对高浓度CO_2和O_3浓度复合环境下的适应能力。     

Contrasting effects of maize residue,coal gas residue and their biochars on nutrient mineralization,enzyme activities and CO2 emissions in sandy loess soil

Mismanagement of crop straw and coal gas residue threatens the atmosphere and the economy. Nevertheless, thermal-pyrolysis is an option for management that turns bio-waste into biochar; its viability and adoption by the public as soil amendments is dependent on the agronomic and environmental values compared between biochar and the raw materials. We undertook a 60-day short-term analysis to assess the impact of various wastes and biochars, as well as inorganic nutrients (N), on carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes, soil enzyme activities, soil fertility status, and microbial activities. There were eight treatments of soil amendments: without an amendment (CK), Nutrients (N), straw + nutrients (S+N), straw biochar + nutrients (SB+N), coal gas residue + nutrients (C+N), coal gas residue biochar + nutrients (CB+N), straw + straw biochar + nutrients (S+SB+N) and coal gas residue waste + coal gas residue biochar + nutrients (C+ CB +N). The results indicated that soil EC, pH, nitrate N (NO₃^–- N), SOC, TN and available K were significantly (p < 0.05) increased coal gas residue biochar and combined with coal fly ash as compared to maize straw biochar and combined with maize straw and N treatments. The higher concentrations of soil MBC and MBN activities were increased in the maize straw application, while higher soil enzyme activity such as, invertase, urease and catalase were enhanced in the coal fly ash derived biochar treatments. The higher cumulative CO₂ emissions were recorded in the combined applications of maize straw and its biochar as well as coal gas residue and its biochar treatment. Our study concludes, that maize straw and coal fly ash wastes were converted into biochar product could be a feasible substitute way of discarding, since land amendment and decreased CO₂ fluxes and positive changes in soil microbial, and chemical properties, and can be confirmed under long-term conditions for reduction of economical and environment issues.     

水东枣园土壤动物与土壤环境的关系

１９９２年１２月－１９９３年２月,对安徽省宣州市东枣园土壤动物进行了调查,共获大、中小型土壤动物５８７５个,分隶属于５门、１１纲、２８目、３５类。螨类、线虫类为优势类群,线蚓类、弹尾类为常见类群,通过７个样地对比得出：枣树种植年代愈久,土壤动物愈丰富,其类群数随土壤养分的增加而增加,随ＰＨ值和土壤容重的增大而减少,且其类群与个体数随土壤深度的增加而递减。     

灰渣场土壤酶活笥与植被和土壤化学性质的关系

通过野外调查和实验分析,研究了芜湖火力发电厂灰渣场土壤蔗糖酶、过氧化氢酶和脲酶活性与土壤污染物及植被的关系。结果表明,灰渣场植被多以单种植物组成的斑块零散布,以草本植物为主,且多为1－2年生。同时,灰渣场3种土壤酶活性和渣场的自然环境条件具有较强的相关性,其中3种酶活性对环境胁迫的敏感性依次为脲酶＞蔗糖酶＞过氧化氢酶,3种酶活性与环境中因子的相关性整体表现为蔗糖酶＞脲酶＞过氧化氢酶。由于对环境胁迫为敏感,而且其活性与植被状况和土壤化学性质具有显著或极显著相关性,建议用脲酶活性作为废弃地复垦的一个指示指标。     

Effects of fire on soil respiration,ATP content and enzyme activities in Mediterranean maquis

Question: Do low or high intensity fires affect micro‐organism activity in the upper soil layer of Mediterranean maquis? Location: 600 m from the sea in the Nature Reserve of Castel Volturno (Campania, southern Italy, 40°57’N; 13°55’E). Methods: Soil respiration was measured in situ on intact soil; enzyme activity (cellulase, xylanase, invertase, trehalase and protease) and ATP content were measured on soil samples collected under three species of maquis vegetation: Phillyrea angustifolia L., Myrtus communis L. and Cistus incanus L. Results: Soil microbial respiration showed no significant differences in CO₂ flux in treated and untreated plots, but the ATP content in the soil under C. incanus and M. communis was lower in the treated plots for most of the study period. In the soil under Ph. angustifolia, ATP content was low only for one week after fire. The reduction was more marked in the samples from ‘high fire intensity’ than from ‘low fire intensity’ plots. Soil respiration and ATP content exhibited seasonal variations linked to soil water content. Among the enzyme activity measured in the soil under the three plant covers, only invertase declined in burned plots throughout the study period, particularly in the ‘high fire intensity’ plots. Activity of the enzymes cellulase, xylanase, trehalase and protease had a different sensitivity depending on the respective shrub cover. Conclusions: Impact of fire on soil microbial activity is largely dependent on vegetation mosaic and species identity.     

Soil carbon saturation: concept,evidence and evaluation

Current estimates of soil C storage potential are based on models or factors that assume linearity between C input levels and C stocks at steady-state, implying that SOC stocks could increase without limit as C input levels increase. However, some soils show little or no increase in steady-state SOC stock with increasing C input levels suggesting that SOC can become saturated with respect to C input. We used long-term field experiment data to assess alternative hypotheses of soil carbon storage by three simple models: a linear model (no saturation), a one-pool whole-soil C saturation model, and a two-pool mixed model with C saturation of a single C pool, but not the whole soil. The one-pool C saturation model best fit the combined data from 14 sites, four individual sites were best-fit with the linear model, and no sites were best fit by the mixed model. These results indicate that existing agricultural field experiments generally have too small a range in C input levels to show saturation behavior, and verify the accepted linear relationship between soil C and C input used to model SOM dynamics. However, all sites combined and the site with the widest range in C input levels were best fit with the C-saturation model. Nevertheless, the same site produced distinct effective stabilization capacity curves rather than an absolute C saturation level. We conclude that the saturation of soil C does occur and therefore the greatest efficiency in soil C sequestration will be in soils further from C saturation.

Some comments on ‘Urease activity and its Michaelis constant for soil systems’, by Viraj Beriet al.

Summary Recently Beri, Goswami and Brar made a very valuable contribution to our knowledge of soil urease activity. Unfortunately some errors crept into their experimental approach and the mathematical treatment of the experimental data. Rectification leads in some points to conclusions different from those of the authors.Viraj Beri, K. P. Goswami and S. S. Brar, Plant and Soil49, 105–115 (1978).     

Distribution,biomass, and dynamics of roots in a revegetated stand of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Caragana korshinskii</Emphasis> in the Tengger Desert,northwestern China

A field experiment was conducted to investigate root distribution, biomass, and seasonal dynamics in a revegetated stand of Caragana korshinskii Kom. in the Tengger Desert. We used soil profile trenches, soil core sampling, and minirhizotron measurements to measure root dynamics. Results showed that the roots of C. korshinskii were distributed vertically in the uppermost portion of the soil profile, especially the coarse roots, which were concentrated in the upper 0.4 m. The horizontal distribution of the root length and weight of C. korshinskii coarse roots was concentrated within 0.6 and 0.4 m of the trunk, respectively. The lateral distribution of fine roots was more uniform than coarse roots. Total-root and fine-root biomasses were 662.4 ± 45.8 and 361.1 ± 10.3 g m⁻², accounting for about two-thirds and one-third of the total plant biomass, respectively. Fine-root turnover is closely affected by soil water, and both of these parameters showed synchronously seasonal trends during the growing season in 2004 and 2005. The interaction between fine-root turnover and soil water resulted in the fine-root length densities and soil water content in the 0- to 1.0-m soil layer having similar trends, but the soil water peaks occurred before those of the fine-root length densities.     

The relation among soil microorganism, enzyme activity and soil nutrients under subalpine coniferous forest in Western Sichuan

Soil microorganism and enzymes are important parts of forest ecosystem and sensitive to environmental changes. They have many critical functions in energy conversion and material cycle of forest soil. However, there are few studies about soil biological properties under subalpine coniferous forest, in particular, a serial of spruce plantation chronosequences following clear-cutting of natural coniferous forest in western Sichuan. We measured the quantity of soil microorganism (including bacteria, fungi and actinomyces), enzyme activity and soil nutrients under spruce plantation chronosequences in western Sichuan to investigate soil biological properties and their relationship with soil nutrients. The results showed that soil microorganism, enzyme activity and soil nutrients of the mature spruce plantation were significantly lower than those of the young spruce plantation and secondary broad-leaved forest. Soil fertility degraded greatly with the increasing of spruce plantation age and was mainly affected by forest micro-environment. There were significant correlation between the amounts of soil microorganisms, soil enzyme activities and nutrients (e.g. soil organic matter, total N, total P, alkali-hydrolyzable N and available K). Therefore soil biological indices can be used to evaluate soil fertility. In order to accelerate the course of restoration and rehabilitation of degraded pure plantation, the strategy and measures were put forward, including application of thinning rationally for existing dense plantations and establishment of mixture forest of coniferous and broad-leaved trees for new afforestations, which would create good forest micro-environment for plant growth.     

半干旱黄土区苜蓿草地轮作农田土壤氮、磷和有机质变化

大田试验研究了多年生苜蓿草地轮作农田2年内的耕层土壤氮、磷养分和有机质变化.结果表明,与苜蓿连作相比,苜蓿草地轮作成农田后,土壤N和有机质消耗增加,2年中耕层土壤全氮含量平均分别下降了5.4%和19.5%、有机质下降了46.8%和28.2%,土壤全磷无显著变化;轮作提高了土壤氮、磷养分有效性及其活化率,土壤硝态氮含量2年分别提高了15.5%和159.1%、速效磷含量提高了44.5%和48.0%,差异显著.不同轮作方式对土壤养分变化有显著影响.苜蓿草地轮作后第2年,种植春小麦与种植玉米相比差异显著,种植马铃薯和休闲处理土壤养分变化幅度处于二者之间.种植春小麦能够维持农田土壤肥力生长季平衡,种植玉米增加了对土壤全氮、有机质和速效磷的消耗,土壤养分含量出现季节性下降,C/N和C/P降低.在半干旱地区多年生苜蓿草地向农田转变过程中,以轮作春小麦为宜,应避免种植玉米作物,以维持农田肥力平衡.
