Microbial communities play critical roles in fixing carbon from the atmosphere and fixing it in the soils. However, the large-scale variations and drivers of these microbial communities remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a large-scale survey across China and found that soil autotrophic organisms are critical for explaining CO2 fluxes from the atmosphere to soils. In particular, we showed that large-scale variations in CO2 fixation rates are highly correlated to those in autotrophic bacteria and phototrophic protists. Paddy soils, supporting a larger proportion of obligate bacterial and protist autotrophs, display four-fold of CO2 fixation rates over upland and forest soils. Precipitation and pH, together with key ecological clusters of autotrophic microbes, also played important roles in controlling CO2 fixation. Our work provides a novel quantification on the contribution of terrestrial autotrophic microbes to soil CO2 fixation processes at a large scale, with implications for global carbon regulation under climate change. 相似文献

Carbon dioxide (CO2) assimilation by autotrophic bacteria is an important process in the soil carbon cycle with major environmental implications. The long-term impact of fertilizer on CO2 assimilation in the bacterial community of paddy soils remains poorly understood. To narrow this knowledge gap, the composition and abundance of CO2-assimilating bacteria were investigated using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and quantitative PCR of the cbbL gene [that encodes ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO)] in paddy soils. Soils from three stations in subtropical China were used. Each station is part of a long-term fertilization experiment with three treatments: no fertilizer (CK), chemical fertilizers (NPK), and NPK combined with rice straw (NPKM). At all of the stations, the cbbL-containing bacterial communities were dominated by facultative autotrophic bacteria such as Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, and Ralstonia eutropha. The community composition in the fertilized soil (NPK and NPKM) was distinct from that in unfertilized soil (CK). The bacterial cbbL abundance (3–8?×?108 copies g soil?1) and RubisCO activity (0.40–1.76 nmol CO2 g soil?1 min?1) in paddy soils were significantly positively correlated, and both increased with the addition of fertilizer. Among the measured soil parameters, soil organic carbon and pH were the most significant factors influencing the community composition, abundance, and activity of the cbbL-containing bacteria. These results suggest that long-term fertilization has a strong impact on the activity and community of cbbL-containing bacterial populations in paddy soils, especially when straw is combined with chemical fertilizers. 相似文献

Soils were incubated continuously in an atmosphere of 14CO2 and the distribution of labeled C into soil organic carbon (14C-SOC) was determined at 0–1, 1–5, and 5–17 cm down the profile. Significant amounts of 14C-SOC were measured in paddy soils with a mean of 1,180.6?±?105.2 mg kg–1 at 0–1 cm and 135.3?±?47.1 mg kg?1 at 1–5 cm. This accounted for 5.9?±?0.7 % and 0.7?±?0.2 %, respectively, of the total soil organic carbon at these depths. In the upland soils, the mean 14C-SOC concentrations were 43 times (0–1 cm) and 11 times (1–5 cm) lower, respectively, than those in the paddy soils. The amounts of 14C incorporated into the microbial biomass (MBC) were also much lower in upland soils (5.0?±?3.6 % and 2.9?±?1.9 % at 0–1 and 1–5 cm, respectively) than in paddy soils (34.1?±?12.4 % and 10.2?±?2.1 % at 0–1 and 1–5 cm, respectively). Similarly, the amount of 14C incorporated into the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was considerably higher in paddy soils (26.1?±?6.9 % and 6.9?±?1.3 % at 0–1 and 1–5 cm, respectively) than in upland soils (6.0?±?2.7 % and 4.3?±?2.2 %, respectively). The observation that the majority of the fixed 14C-SOC, RubisCO activity and cbbL gene abundance were concentrated at 0–1 cm depth and the fact that light is restricted to the top few millimeters of the soil profiles highlighted the importance of phototrophs in CO2 fixation in surface soils. Phylogenetic analysis of the cbbL genes showed that the potential for CO2 fixation was evident throughout the profile and distributed between both photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic bacteria such as Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Rubrivivax gelatinosus and Ralstonia eutropha. 相似文献

Dark, that is, nonphototrophic, microbial CO2 fixation occurs in a large range of soils. However, it is still not known whether dark microbial CO2 fixation substantially contributes to the C balance of soils and what factors control this process. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantitate dark microbial CO2 fixation in temperate forest soils, to determine the relationship between the soil CO2 concentration and dark microbial CO2 fixation, and to estimate the relative contribution of different microbial groups to dark CO2 fixation. For this purpose, we conducted a 13C‐CO2 labeling experiment. We found that the rates of dark microbial CO2 fixation were positively correlated with the CO2 concentration in all soils. Dark microbial CO2 fixation amounted to up to 320 µg C kg?1 soil day?1 in the Ah horizon. The fixation rates were 2.8–8.9 times higher in the Ah horizon than in the Bw1 horizon. Although the rates of dark microbial fixation were small compared to the respiration rate (1.2%–3.9% of the respiration rate), our findings suggest that organic matter formed by microorganisms from CO2 contributes to the soil organic matter pool, especially given that microbial detritus is more stable in soil than plant detritus. Phospholipid fatty acid analyses indicated that CO2 was mostly fixed by gram‐positive bacteria, and not by fungi. In conclusion, our study shows that the dark microbial CO2 fixation rate in temperate forest soils increases in periods of high CO2 concentrations, that dark microbial CO2 fixation is mostly accomplished by gram‐positive bacteria, and that dark microbial CO2 fixation contributes to the formation of soil organic matter. 相似文献

Although soils are generally known to be a net source of CO2 due to microbial respiration, CO2 fixation may also be an important process. The non-phototrophic fixation of CO2 was investigated in a tracer experiment with 14CO2 in order to obtain information about the extent and the mechanisms of this process. Soils were incubated for up to 91 days
in the dark. In three independent incubation experiments, a significant transfer of radioactivity from 14CO2 to soil organic matter was observed. The process was related to microbial activity and could be enhanced by the addition
of readily available substrates such as acetate. CO2 fixation exhibited biphasic kinetics and was linearly related to respiration during the first phase of incubation (about
20–40 days). The fixation amounted to 3–5% of the net respiration. After this phase, the CO2 fixation decreased to 1–2% of the respiration. The amount of carbon fixed by an agricultural soil corresponded to 0.05% of
the organic carbon present in the soil at the beginning of the experiment, and virtually all of the fixed CO2 was converted to organic compounds. Many autotrophic and heterotrophic biochemical processes result in the fixation of CO2. However, the enhancement of the fixation by addition of readily available substrates and the linear correlation with respiration
suggested that the process is mainly driven by aerobic heterotrophic microorganisms. We conclude that heterotrophic CO2 fixation represents a significant factor of microbial activity in soils. 相似文献

改变施肥管理后不同肥力稻田土壤CO2排放特征 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
利用一个长达30a水稻土长期定位试验,在保证原有定位试验继续正常开展的前提下,将原化肥处理改施有机肥,原有机肥处理改施化肥或者增施有机肥。通过观测田间试验2012—2013年双季稻轮作周期内不同肥力水平稻田土壤施肥管理改变后的土体CO2排放通量(FCO2),研究不同后续施肥管理对不同肥力红壤性水稻土CO2排放的影响。结果表明:变更施肥能明显改变CO2排放动态变化,其中长期施用有机肥处理改施化肥后其FCO2明显减小,长期施用化肥或有机肥处理增施有机肥后其FCO2显著增大。有机肥和土壤有机碳均可促进土体CO2排放,有机肥处理有机物料碳添加量与CO2-C年排放量呈极显著的正相关关系(r=0.9015**,n=21),单施化肥处理土壤有机碳含量与土体CO2-C年排放量符合线性方程:y=10.962x-68.86(R2=0.7507,n=9,P0.01)。长期施用有机肥土壤改施化肥会导致其有机碳矿化损失,土壤有机碳含量越高,矿化损失量越多,最终其有机碳水平将与长期施用化肥的土壤有机碳平衡值一致;长期施用化肥或有机肥土壤改施或增施有机肥可促进土壤有机碳积累,外源添加碳越多,土壤积累碳越多;相同有机肥施用量下土壤有机碳含量越高,有机物料表观分解率越大,积累于土壤中的有机碳越少,不同有机碳水平土壤在相同有机肥管理下其有机碳最终会达到相同的平衡值。在有机碳水平较低(20.46 g/kg)红壤稻田上增施有机肥是提升已培肥水稻土有机碳含量的可持续发展措施,而在有机碳水平较高(14.45 g/kg)红壤稻田上应避免改施化肥。总之,在有机碳含量较高或者较低的中国南方红壤性水稻土上,持续的有机肥施用是保持或者提高其有机碳水平的必要措施。 相似文献

自养微生物同化CO_2的分子生态研究及同化碳在土壤中的转化 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
大气中CO2浓度持续升高和全球气候变暖是亟待解决的重大环境问题。自养微生物在环境中广泛分布,能直接参与CO2的同化,因此研究自养微生物同化CO2的分子生态学机制具有重大的科学意义。以往对自养微生物的研究多针对基因组DNA,从DNA水平揭示了不同生态系统中碳同化自养微生物的种群结构和多样性,但这些微生物在生态系统中的具体功能有待进一步的研究。近年来,随着转录组学研究技术和稳定同位素探针技术(SIP)的发展,自养微生物同化CO2的生态机理研究不断深入,这些研究明确揭示了碳同化自养微生物是河流、湖泊和海洋生态系统中CO2固定作用的驱动者,并新发现了一些具有CO2同化功能的微生物群落。基于国内外有关研究进展,从DNA和RNA水平上对自养微生物同化CO2的分子机理以及稳定同位素探针技术(SIP)在碳同化微生物研究中的应用进行了分析和总结,初步展望了RNA-SIP技术在陆地生态系统碳同化微生物分子生态学研究中的前景。同时,探讨了陆地生态系统同化碳的转化和稳定性机理,以期为深入了解生态系统碳循环过程和应对气候变化提供理论依据。 相似文献

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a promising climate change mitigation option. In this context, the formation of the relatively long-lived mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) is key. To date, soils are considered to be limited in their ability to accumulate MAOC, mainly by the amount of clay and silt particles present. Using the comprehensive German Agricultural Soil Inventory, we selected 189 samples with a wide range of SOC (5–118 g kg−1) and clay contents (30–770 g kg−1) to test whether there is a detectable upper limit of MAOC content. We found that the proportion of MAOC was surprisingly stable for soils under cropland and grassland use across the whole range of bulk SOC contents. Soil texture influenced the slope of the relationship between bulk SOC and MAOC, but no upper limit was observed in any texture class. Also, C content in the fine fraction (g C kg−1 fraction) was negatively correlated to fine fraction content (g kg−1 bulk soil). Both findings challenge the notion that MAOC accumulation is limited by soil fine fraction content per se. 相似文献

长期施肥对稻田土壤固碳功能菌群落结构和数量的影响 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
微生物固碳在减缓全球气候变化、实现人类可持续发展方面具有重要的意义,通过揭示长期不同施肥制度对土壤固碳细菌的影响规律,可以为我国稻田土壤科学施肥,稻田固碳和温室气体减排的共轭双赢作用提供重要的理论依据。以湖南宁乡国家级稻田肥力变化长期定位试验为平台,采用PCR-克隆测序和实时荧光定量(Real-time)PCR技术,研究不施肥(CK),氮磷钾肥(NPK)和秸秆还田(NPKS)3种长期施肥制度对稻田土壤固碳细菌群落结构及数量的影响。通过分析固碳细菌cbbL基因文库发现,长期施肥导致土壤固碳细菌种群结构产生了明显差异,NPK和NPKS处理中兼性自养固碳菌群落优势增加而严格自养固碳菌生长受到抑制。LUBSHUFF软件统计分析显示cbbL基因文库在CK、NPK及NPKS处理间均存在显著性差异。 3种施肥处理的稻田土壤细菌cbbL基因拷贝数为3.35?108 —5.61?108每克土,施肥后,土壤细菌cbbL基因数量增加,其中NPKS处理cbbL数量最多,是CK处理的1.5倍左右。稀疏曲线则显示长期施化肥导致细菌cbbL基因多样性高于NPKS,而NPKS高于CK。上述结果表明了长期施肥对土壤固碳细菌群落结构,多样性及数量均有显著的影响。本研究结果可为深入探讨稻田土壤微生物固碳潜力及其影响机理提供有力的依据。 相似文献

Storage and sequestration potential of topsoil organic carbon in China's paddy soils 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33
Carbon (C) storage and sequestration in agricultural soils is considered to be an important issue in the study of terrestrial C cycling and global climatic change. The baseline C stock and the C sequestration potential are among the criteria for a region or a state to adopt strategies or policies in response to commitment to the Kyoto Protocol. Paddy soils represent a large portion of global cropland. However, little information on the potential of C sequestration and storage is available for such soils. In this paper, an estimation of the topsoil soil organic carbon (SOC) pool and the sequestration potential of paddy soils in China was made by using the data from the 2nd State Soil Survey carried out during 1979–1982 and from the nationwide arable soil monitoring system established since then. Results showed that the SOC density ranged from 12 to 226 t C ha?1 with an area‐weighted mean density of 44 t C ha?1, which is comparable to that of the US grasslands and is higher than that of the cultivated dryland soils in China and the US. The estimated total topsoil SOC pool is 1.3 Pg, with 0.85 Pg from the upper plow layer and 0.45 Pg from the plowpan layer. This pool size is ~2% of China's total storage in the top 1 m of the soil profiles and ~4% of the total topsoil pool, while the area percentage of paddy soil is 3.4% of the total land. The C pool in paddy soils was found predominantly in southeast China geographically and in the subgroups of Fe‐accumulating and Fe‐leaching paddy soils pedogenetically. In comparison with dryland cultivation, irrigation‐based rice cultivation in China has induced significant enrichment of SOC storage (0.3 Pg) in paddy soils. The induced total C sequestration equals half of China's total annual CO2 emission in the 1990s. Estimates using different SOC sequestration scenarios show that the paddy soils of China have an easily attainable SOC sequestration potential of 0.7 Pg under present conditions and may ultimately sequester 3.0 Pg. Soil monitoring data showed that the current C sequestration rate is 12 Tg yr?1. The total C sequestration potential and the current sequestration rate of the paddy soils are over 30%, while the area of the paddy soils is 26% that of China's total croplands. Therefore, practicing sustainable agriculture is urgently needed for enhancing SOC storage to realize the ultimate SOC sequestration of rice‐based agriculture of China, as the current C sequestration rate is significantly lower than the potential rate. 相似文献

Carbon sequestration in soils is considered to be an important option for the mitigation of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations as a result of climate change. High carbon accumulation was observed in Lei bamboo (Phyllostachys praecox) soils when using large amounts of organic material in a mulching technique. Soil samples were collected from Lei bamboo
fields in a chronosequence. The composition and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) in the bamboo soils was investigated
by a combination of 13C CPMAS NMR analysis and with a decomposition incubation experiment in the laboratory. SOC content decreased in the first
5 years after planting of Lei bamboo from the original paddy soil and increased strongly subsequently. The stability of SOC
after application of the winter mulch was higher as compared to the original paddy soil with no mulching, indicating that
SOC can be stored effectively within Lei bamboo fields under intensive management. 相似文献

Input of labile organic carbon can enhance decomposition of extant soil organic carbon (SOC) through priming. We hypothesized that long‐term nitrogen (N) input in different chemical forms alters SOC pools by altering priming effects associated with N‐mediated changes in plants and soil microbes. The hypothesis was tested by integrating field experimental data of plants, soil microbes and two incubation experiments with soils that had experienced 10 years of N enrichment with three chemical forms (ammonium, nitrate and both ammonium and nitrate) in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau. Incubations with glucose–13C addition at three rates were used to quantify effects of exogenous organic carbon input on the priming of SOC. Incubations with microbial inocula extracted from soils that had experienced different long‐term N treatments were conducted to detect effects of N‐mediated changes in soil microbes on priming effects. We found strong evidence and a mechanistic explanation for alteration of SOC pools following 10 years of N enrichment with different chemical forms. We detected significant negative priming effects both in soils collected from ammonium‐addition plots and in sterilized soils inoculated with soil microbes extracted from ammonium‐addition plots. In contrast, significant positive priming effects were found both in soils collected from nitrate‐addition plots and in sterilized soils inoculated with soil microbes extracted from nitrate‐addition plots. Meanwhile, the abundance and richness of graminoids were higher and the abundance of soil microbes was lower in ammonium‐addition than in nitrate‐addition plots. Our findings provide evidence that shifts toward higher graminoid abundance and changes in soil microbial abundance mediated by N chemical forms are key drivers for priming effects and SOC pool changes, thereby linking human interference with the N cycle to climate change. 相似文献

Soil organic carbon budget and fertility variation of black soils in Northeast China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Black soils in Northeast China are characteristic of high soil organic carbon (SOC) density and were strongly influenced by
human activities. Therefore, any change in SOC pool of these soils would not only impact the regional and global carbon cycle,
but also affect the release and immobilization of nutrients. In this study, we reviewed the research progress on SOC storage,
budget, variation, and fertility under different scenarios. The results showed that the organic carbon storage of black soils
was 646.2 TgC and the most potential sequestration was 2887.8 g m−2. According to the SOC budget, the net carbon emission of black soils was 1.3 TgC year−1 under present soil management system. The simulation of CENTURY model showed that future climate change and elevated CO2 concentration, especially the increase of precipitation, would increase SOC content. Furthermore, fertilization and cropping
sequence obviously influenced SOC content, composition, and allocation among different soil particles. Long-term input of
organic materials such as manure and straw renewed original SOC, improved soil structure and increased SOC accumulation. Besides,
soil erosion preferred to transport soil particles with low density and fine size, decreased recalcitrant SOC fractions at
erosion sites and increased activities of soil microorganism at deposition sites. After natural grasslands were converted
into croplands, obvious variation of soil chemical nutrients, physical structure, and microbial activities had taken place
in surface and subsurface soils, and represented a degrading trend to a certain degree. Our studies suggested that adopting
optimal management such as conservation tillage in black soil region is an important approach to sequester atmospheric CO2 and to slow greenhouse effects. 相似文献

The applicability of two methods (pyrolysis gas chromatography and acidification-wet oxidation) for determining14CO2 incorporation into soil microorganisms was investigated. Both methods were able to distinguish biologically incorporated14C from abiotically adsorbed14C, but to varying degrees, there being a larger carryover of abiotic14C into the organic fraction and a higher percentage of assimilated14C in the organic fraction with the wet oxidation method. Using14C assimilation as a measure, it was possible to determine microbial activities in soils of diverse properties under a variety
of conditions, including polar soils under harsh environmental conditions. Both light and dark14CO2 fixation was measurable.14CO2 assimilation was not always proportional to the enumerable microorganisms. A new design for measurement of microbial activityin situ enabled measurement of total C influx (primary productivity) into soils with minimal perturbation to the natural soil ecosystem. 相似文献

The perhumid coastal temperate rainforest (PCTR) of southeast Alaska has some of the densest soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the world (>300 Mg C ha?1) but the fate of this SOC with continued warming remains largely unknown. We quantified dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and carbon dioxide (CO2) yields from four different wetland types (rich fen, poor fen, forested wetland and cedar wetland) using controlled laboratory incubations of surface (10 cm) and subsurface (25 cm) soils incubated at 8 and 15 °C for 37 weeks. Furthermore, we used fluorescence characterization of DOC and laboratory bioassays to assess how climate-induced soil warming may impact the quality and bioavailability of DOC delivered to fluvial systems. Soil temperature was the strongest control on SOC turnover, with wetland type and soil depth less important in controlling CO2 flux and extractable DOC. The high temperature incubation increased average CO2 yield by ~40 and ~25% for DOC suggesting PCTR soils contain a sizeable pool of readily biodegradable SOC that can be mineralized to DOC and CO2 with future climate warming. Fluxes of CO2 were positively correlated to both extractable DOC and percent bioavailable DOC during the last few months of the incubation suggesting mineralization of SOC to DOC is a strong control of soil respiration rates. Whether the net result is increased export of either carbon form will depend on the balance between the land to water transport of DOC and the ability of soil microbial communities to mineralize DOC to CO2. 相似文献

Although the presence of nanoplastics in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems has received increasing attention, little is known about its potential effect on ecosystem processes and functions. Here, we evaluated if differentially charged polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics (PS-NH2 and PS-SO3H) exhibit distinct influences on microbial community structure, nitrogen removal processes (denitrification and anammox), emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, and N2O), and ecosystem multifunctionality in soils with and without earthworms through a 42-day microcosm experiment. Our results indicated that nanoplastics significantly altered soil microbial community structure and potential functions, with more pronounced effects for positively charged PS-NH2 than for negatively charged PS-SO3H. Ecologically relevant concentration (3 g kg−1) of nanoplastics inhibited both soil denitrification and anammox rates, while environmentally realistic concentration (0.3 g kg−1) of nanoplastics decreased the denitrification rate and enhanced the anammox rate. The soil N2O flux was always inhibited 6%–51% by both types of nanoplastics, whereas emissions of CO2 and CH4 were enhanced by nanoplastics in most cases. Significantly, although N2O emissions were decreased by nanoplastics, the global warming potential of total greenhouse gases was increased 21%–75% by nanoplastics in soils without earthworms. Moreover, ecosystem multifunctionality was increased 4%–12% by 0.3 g kg−1 of nanoplastics but decreased 4%–11% by 3 g kg−1 of nanoplastics. Our findings provide the only evidence to date that the rapid increase in nanoplastics is altering not only ecosystem structure and processes but also ecosystem multifunctionality, and it may increase the emission of CO2 and CH4 and their global warming potential to some extent. 相似文献

Increase in soil organic carbon stock over the last two decades in China's Jiangsu Province 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Estimates of regional and national topsoil soil organic carbon (SOC) stock change may help evaluating the soil role in mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through carbon (C) sequestration in soils. However, understanding of the exact mitigation role is often constrained by the uncertainty of the stock estimation associated with different methodologies. In this paper, a soil database of topsoil (0–20 cm) SOC measurements of Jiangsu Province, China, obtained from a soil survey in 1982, and from a geological survey in 2004, was used to analyze the variability of topsoil SOC among soil groups and among soil regions, and to estimate the change in SOC stocks that have occurred in the province over the last two decades. The soil survey data was obtained from measurements of 662 690 randomly collected samples, while the geological survey data was from 24 167 samples taken using a 2 km × 2 km grid. Statistical analysis was conducted on SOC values for 1982 and 2004 for different categories of soil groups, soil regions, and administrative municipalities, respectively. Topsoil SOC storage was then calculated and the provincial topsoil SOC stock was estimated for each sampling time. There were remarkable differences in SOC levels between soil groups and soil regions and different municipalities. The grid sampling with the geological survey in 2004 yielded smaller variability of topsoil SOC averages, both with soil groups and with soil spatial distribution than the random sampling method used in 1982. Variation of SOC was greater with soil groups than with soil regions in both sampling times, although it was less variable across soil taxonomic categories than within a spatial category. Little variance of the SOC level with soil groups could be explained by clay content. However, the prevalence of paddy fields in the total cropland area governed the regional and municipal average SOC levels. The average provincial topsoil SOC content increased from 9.45 g kg−1 in 1982 to 10.9 g kg−1 in 2004, and the total provincial topsoil SOC stock was enhanced from 149.0±58.1 Tg C in 1982 to 173.2±51.4 Tg C in 2004, corresponding to a provincial average SOC sequestration rate of 0.16±0.09 t C ha−1 yr−1. The SOC sequestration trend for the last two decades could be, in part, attributed to the enhanced agricultural production, symbolized by the grain yield per hectare. The results of SOC stock changes suggest a significant C sequestration in soils of Jiangsu, China, during 1980–2000, with paddy management playing an important role in regional SOC storage and sequestration capacity. 相似文献

Agricultural soils in China have been estimated to have a large potential for carbon sequestration, and modelling and literature survey studies have yielded contrasting results of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock change, ranging from ?2.0 to +0.6% yr?1. To assess the validity of earlier estimates, we collected 1394 cropland soil profiles from all over the country and measured SOC contents in 2007–2008, and compared them with those of a previous national soil survey conducted in 1979–1982. The results showed that average SOC content in the 0–20 cm soil increased from 11.95 g kg?1 in 1979–1982 to 12.67 g kg?1 in 2007–2008, averaging 0.22% yr?1. The standard deviation of SOC contents decreased. Four major soil types had statistically significant changes in their mean SOC contents for 0–20 cm. These were: +7.5% for Anthrosols (paddy soils), +18.3% for Eutric Cambisols, +30.5% for Fluvisols, and ?22.3% for Chernozems. The change of SOC contents showed a negative relationship with the average SOC contents of the two sampling campaigns only when soils in the region south of Yangtse River were excluded. SOC contents of the two major soil types in the region south of Yangtse River, i.e., Haplic Alisols/Haplic Acrisols and Anthrosols (paddy soils), changed little or significantly increased, though with a high SOC content. We suggest that the increase of SOC content is mainly attributed to the large increase in crop yields since the 1980s, and the short history as cropland establishment is mainly responsible for the decrease in SOC content for some soil types and regions showing a SOC decline. 相似文献

Energy crops for biofuel production, especially switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), are of interest from a climate change perspective. Here, we use outputs from a crop growth model and life cycle assessment (LCA) to examine the global warming intensity (GWI; g CO2 MJ−1) and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potential (Mg CO2 year−1) of biofuel systems based on a spatially explicit analysis of switchgrass grown on marginal land (abandoned former cropland) in Michigan, USA. We find that marginal lands in Michigan can annually produce over 0.57 hm3 of liquid biofuel derived from nitrogen-fertilized switchgrass, mitigating 1.2–1.5 Tg of CO2 year−1. About 96% of these biofuels can meet the Renewable Fuel Standard (60% reduction in lifecycle GHG emissions compared with conventional gasoline; GWI ≤37.2 g CO2 MJ−1). Furthermore, 73%–75% of these biofuels are carbon-negative (GWI less than zero) due to enhanced soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, simulations indicate that SOC levels would fail to increase and even decrease on the 11% of lands where SOC stocks >>200 Mg C ha−1, leading to carbon intensities greater than gasoline. Results highlight the strong climate mitigation potential of switchgrass grown on marginal lands as well as the needs to avoid carbon rich soils such as histosols and wetlands and to ensure that productivity will be sufficient to provide net mitigation. 相似文献
