微咸水滴灌条件下不同盐分离子在土壤中的分布特征

开展田间试验研究微咸水滴灌条件下不同盐分离子在土壤中的分布特征。试验采用5个水平的微咸水灌溉处理：电导率分别为1.1 dS/m(K1)，2.2 dS/m(K2)，2.9 dS/m(K3)，3.5 dS/m(K4)和4.2 dS/m(K5)，重复3次，按随机区组布置。试验结果表明：滴灌条件下各种盐分离子的迁移速度与分布特性不同，Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺与SO^2-₄易于被灌溉水分淋洗，主要分布在湿润体外围，而HCO^-₃、Na⁺与Cl^-主要分布在湿润体内部。生育期内土壤剖面上的平均盐分含量没有增加，但对土壤结构与作物有重要影响，Cl^-、Na⁺、HCO^-₃有增加的趋势。     

克拉玛依人工碳汇林区景观地球化学特征与规律

民勤绿洲盐生草生境土壤盐分特征及离子组成

对民勤绿洲盐生草周围不同距离范围内的总体盐分状况、盐分离子组成及离子之间的相关性进行了研究。结果表明,盐生草具有一定的聚盐作用,在其周围形成了一定的"盐岛"效应。在距盐生草0-60 cm范围内,土壤剖面中的土壤盐渍化程度随土层的加深而加重,土壤阴离子主要有Cl^-和SO₄^2-,阳离子主要有Na⁺和Ca²⁺,土壤盐分主要是氯化钠、氯化钙、硫酸钠和硫酸钙,其次是氯化镁和硫酸镁。其中在盐生草周围0-40 cm范围内,垂直剖面0-20 cm土层土壤全盐含量为0.98~1.52 g/kg,属于非盐渍化土壤,20-40 cm土层土壤全盐含量达到了2.25~2.30 g/kg,属于轻度盐渍化土壤,40-60 cm土层土壤全盐含量达到了3.10~3.16 g/kg,属中度盐渍化;在距盐生草60 cm处,垂直剖面0-40 cm土层土壤全盐含量为0.83~1.86 g/kg,属非盐渍化,40-60 cm土层土壤全盐含量达到了2.43 g/kg,属轻度盐渍化。除HCO₃^-外,土壤盐分含量与各盐分离子之间均呈极显著正相关。     

加入不同量生物质炭盐渍化土壤盐分淋洗的差异与特征

生物质炭作为土壤调理剂,能够显著地改良培肥土壤,但对盐渍化土壤盐分淋洗的影响缺乏研究和了解。本研究采用土柱模拟试验,将蘑菇棒生物质炭按照不同的质量比(0%、2%、5%、10%),添加到内蒙古河套地区硫酸盐盐渍化土壤0～20 cm的土层中,并进行淋洗,测定淋出液和土壤盐分及主要盐分离子含量,以期了解生物质炭对土壤盐分和主要盐分离子洗脱的影响。结果表明:加入生物质炭的土柱,淋洗液出现的时间提前了5～36 d,电导率降低至5 mS cm-1缩短了41～100 d;生物质炭加入量越大,淋洗液出现的时间越早,电导率降低至5 mS cm-1所需的时间也越少。其中,生物质炭用量2%的处理,淋洗结束表层脱盐效果较好,含盐量与对照相比降低了34.25%。显然,向盐渍化土壤加入生物质炭,不仅能够缩短盐分洗脱时间,而且提高洗盐效率,但对盐分离子洗脱先后顺序及其速率,并没有表现出明显的影响。     

塔里木盆地西南缘典型灌区土壤盐渍化特征分析——以塔吉克阿巴提镇为例

在野外GPS定点定位调查、土壤样品分析的基础上,借助Excel和ArcGIS9.3等软件,对新疆自治区喀什市岳普湖县塔吉克阿巴提镇0-30cm土层的盐离子特征、灌区土壤盐渍化现状及空间分布特征进行了分析。结果表明,0-30cm土层土壤中的离子以Cl^-,SO₄^2-,Na⁺,Ca²⁺为主Na+与Cl^-呈极显著正相关关系,相关系数为0.98,HCO₃^-与其它6种离子(Na⁺,Ca²⁺,Mg²⁺,K⁺,Cl^-,SO₄^2-)呈负相关关系受灌排系统影响较大的农田0-30cm土壤中Cl^-/SO₄^2-比值远小于不受灌排系统影响的荒地农田和荒地0-30cm土壤中的Cl^-/SO₄^2-比值与总盐呈正相关关系,相关系数依次为0.68和0.32。现阶段对塔吉克阿巴提镇灌区农业危害最严重的是氯化物-硫酸盐盐渍化土,硫酸盐盐渍化土表现为盐渍化土地向非盐渍化土地转变的过渡类型非盐渍化农田及轻度盐渍化农田主要分布在开垦较早,灌排系统畅通的区域,灌排系统不畅通的区域仍然处于脱盐缓慢或持续积盐的状态。     

轮作对设施蔬菜大棚中次生盐渍化土壤盐分离子累积的影响

2007 年8 月在江苏省宜兴市采集10 个典型大棚土壤及其邻近露地蔬菜地土壤调查其离子组成和电导率, 并选择2 个土壤具有次生盐渍化特征的大棚研究轮作(蓖麻-白菜-蓖麻、辣椒-白菜-辣椒)对土壤电导率(EC)和离子组成的影响。结果表明, 大棚蔬菜地土壤EC 显著高于露地蔬菜地土壤, 20%的大棚土壤已发生次生盐渍化(EC>500 μS·cm^-1); 大棚土壤的SO₄^2-、NO₃^-离子浓度显著高于露地蔬菜土壤, 说明SO₄^2-、NO₃^-是影响大棚次生盐渍化的主要离子。2 年3 茬大棚蔬菜地轮作试验结果表明, 蓖麻-白菜-蓖麻轮作导致土壤EC 下降5%, 辣椒-白菜-辣椒轮作使土壤EC 下降33%, 表明后者对土壤次生盐渍化改良效果优于前者。两轮作系统盐分离子累积差异主要在于SO₄^2-, 辣椒-白菜-辣椒轮作能降低土壤SO₄^2-的累积, 而蓖麻-白菜-蓖麻轮作则不然。建议根据次生盐渍化土壤主控盐分离子以及不同作物对盐分离子吸收累积偏向性选择合适的轮作系统, 实现轮作改良次生盐渍化最佳效果。     

不同有机物料对盐碱土的淋洗效果研究

主要通过土柱模拟试验探究不同有机物料对渗滤液的盐分和可溶性有机碳（DOC）以及不同深度土壤盐分、有机质和微生物生物量碳氮的影响,设置有机硅功能肥（WO）、颗粒状有机物料（YP）、粉末状有机物料（GG）、颗粒状有机物料和粉末状有机物料各50%（YG）以及不添加有机物料（CK）共5个处理。结果表明,有机物料的添加提高了渗滤液的EC值及水溶性Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺和Na⁺含量,YP处理的渗滤液盐基离子含量最高,而WO处理的渗滤液中DOC含量最低;与CK处理相比,WO处理显著提高各深度土层的水溶性Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺和K⁺含量,显著降低各深度土层的pH、交换性Na⁺、碱化度（ESP）和0—20 cm土层的水溶性Na⁺和钠吸附比（SAR）,但其他有机物料的处理对pH、EC值和盐分等无显著影响;淋洗作用使表层土壤（0—20 cm）盐分向土壤深层移动,淋洗结束后,各处理的土壤EC值、水溶性总盐、交换性Na⁺和ESP随着土层深度的增加而升高;与CK处理相比,GG和YG处理显著提高0—20 cm土层的有机质含量,分别提高23.97%和20.53%。研究结果为有机物料的添加对盐碱地淋洗过程中盐分和有机质的变化提供了理论的数据参考。     

脱硫石膏与聚谷氨酸配施对盐碱化土壤的改良效果

[目的] 探究脱硫石膏与聚谷氨酸（γ-PGA）配施对盐碱化土壤的改良效果,为改良西北地区盐碱化土壤提供理论和技术依据。[方法] 通过土柱模拟淋溶试验和盆栽模拟生长试验,从促进盐分淋洗,降低土壤含盐量,降低土壤pH值,改善土壤养分状况,促进作物生长的角度对脱硫石膏和γ-PGA配合施用对盐碱地的改良效果进行研究。[结果] 脱硫石膏与γ-PGA配施能进一步降低淋后土壤的pH值,提高Na⁺淋洗;可降低淋洗后HCO₃^-和Cl^-的含量,但提高淋洗后土壤SO₄^2-,Ca²⁺和Mg²⁺含量;有效降低淋后土壤钠吸附比（SAR）值。盆栽试验表明脱硫石膏与γ-PGA配施可显著增加玉米的株高、叶面积和干重,其中生长30 d时该处理玉米干重达到最大值,较对照处理增加了54.40%,较单施脱硫石膏和γ-PGA处理分别增加了40.27%和29.47%。此外,脱硫石膏与γ-PGA配施植株收获后土壤的pH值更低,且土壤N,P,K养分含量和土壤酶活性更高。[结论] 脱硫石膏和γ-PGA配施能起到较好的互补增效作用,进一步促进了土壤离子交换,降低了pH值,提高了土壤养分含量,促进了作物生长。     

内蒙古河套灌区灌排水离子组成及淋洗盐分用水量评价

以河套灌区“盐分去向”为研究背景, 通过调查灌区土壤及各级灌排渠系水阳离子含量变化及室内模拟灌溉水淋洗土柱试验, 分析灌溉水经过土壤到排水阳离子组成的变化规律, 探讨用Na⁺浓度评价淋盐排灌水量比的可行性。结果表明, 与灌溉水相比, 各级排水干渠排水所含盐分中Na⁺所占比例明显增加, 平均约为87%; Ca²⁺所占比例减少, 平均约为7%。排水的全盐浓度(EC)和Na⁺浓度有显著相关关系, 说明Na⁺浓度对排水的全盐浓度有显著影响。灌溉水的2/3 Ca²⁺以非水溶性钙盐积聚在土壤, 排出量较少, 但灌区全年的Na⁺收支基本平衡。淋盐排灌水量比评价分析结果表明, 用Na⁺浓度评价淋盐排灌水量比要优于用全盐浓度(EC); 要维持灌区Na⁺收支平衡, 排灌水量比应保持在0.12~0.15, 针对现有灌区年引水量50 亿t, 年排水量要达到6~7 亿t。

Maize straw is more effective than maize straw biochar at improving soil N availability and gross N transformation rate

Soil nitrogen (N) transformation is vital in determining farmland N availability. Although many studies have investigated the effect of biochar on N retention and loss via leaching and gaseous emissions, few have determined the dynamics of gross N transformation during crop growth in long-term biochar-amended soils and compared the effect of the biochar with that of its feedstock. In this study, we conducted a five-time field measurement of soil gross N turnover rates via ¹⁵N isotope pool dilution during maize growth in 2021. Three treatments were employed, including no amendment, biochar and straw applied annually at rates of 2.63 and 7.50 t ha⁻¹, respectively, since 2013. The results showed that biochar did not change the rate of gross N mineralisation when compared with no amendment, but straw increased it by 139% in August, resulting in significantly higher cumulative gross N mineralisation than biochar and no amendment (701 vs 489 and 499 mg kg⁻¹ in 200 d). The inconsistent influence was attributed to the fact that inherent biochar-N was recalcitrant and could not be mineralized like the straw. The gross nitrification rate was decreased by 72.9% and 77.4% by biochar and straw application, respectively, in June relative to no amendment, but then it increased from July to August in the straw treatment as a result of the elevated gross N mineralisation rate. The decreased nitrification in the biochar treatment was an outcome of the synergetic effect of a low ammonium pool (−59.4%) and a high gross ammonium immobilisation rate (+263%), which was likely due to excessive fertilizer N loss and abiotic adsorption to biochar. Meanwhile, biochar amendment inhibited bacterial 16S and fungal ITS genes, as well as ureC and bacterial and archaea-amoA gene copies. In conclusion, straw is more effective than biochar at improving soil N transformation and availability in the long term.     

Biochar concomitantly increases simazine sorption in sandy loam soil and lowers its dissipation

Biochar application has been receiving much attention as pesticide pollution mitigator because it reduces harmful chemicals. However, direct comparisons between the effect of biochar and straw on the simazine fate in soils remain poorly understood. We explored the impact of biochars and straw on the simazine behavior in a soil using a ¹⁴C labeling approach. Biochar was produced by the thermal treatment of wheat straw at four contrasting temperatures (250, 350, 450 and 550°C) and was incorporated into a sandy loam soil. The sorption of simazine in the biochar soil from 83.9% to 87.5% was significantly higher than 43.0% in the unamended soil and 35.7% in the soil amended with unprocessed straw, thus resulting in low samizine leaching from 21.8% to 42.6% in the biochar soil. However, biochar application suppressed the simazine decomposition, which is contrast in the straw soil. Furthermore, the biogeochemical behavior of simazine varied with the pyrolysis temperature. These results indicate biochar application can significantly increase simazine adsorption and reduce leaching, which is benefit to the environmental pollution. In conclusion, the simazine behaviors in the soil are strongly influenced by the biochar properties. In comparison to straw, biochar has potential to mitigate simazine pollution.     

Nitrification,acidification, and nitrogen leaching from subtropical cropland soils as affected by rice straw-based biochar: laboratory incubation and column leaching studies

Purpose

Few studies have examined the effects of biochar on nitrification of ammonium-based fertilizer in acidic arable soils, which contributes to NO₃ ^? leaching and soil acidification.

Materials and methods

We conducted a 42-day aerobic incubation and a 119-day weekly leaching experiment to investigate nitrification, N leaching, and soil acidification in two subtropical soils to which 300 mg N kg^?1 ammonium sulfate or urea and 1 or 5 wt% rice straw biochar were applied.

Results and discussion

During aerobic incubation, NO₃ ^? accumulation was enhanced by applying biochar in increasing amounts from 1 to 5 wt%. As a result, pH decreased in the two soils from the original levels. Under leaching conditions, biochar did not increase NO₃ ^?, but 5 wt% biochar addition did reduce N leaching compared to that in soils treated with only N. Consistently, lower amounts of added N were recovered from the incubation (KCl-extractable N) and leaching (leaching plus KCl-extractable N) experiments following 5 wt% biochar application compared to soils treated with only N.

Conclusions

Incorporating biochar into acidic arable soils accelerates nitrification and thus weakens the liming effects of biochar. The enhanced nitrification does not necessarily increase NO₃ ^? leaching. Rather, biochar reduces overall N leaching due to both improved N adsorption and increased unaccounted-for N (immobilization and possible gaseous losses). Further studies are necessary to assess the effects of biochar (when used as an addition to soil) on N.     

Biochar reduces uptake and accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in winter wheat on a PAH-contaminated soil

For years, biochar has been successfully used for the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in contaminated soils, not only for improving their removal from soil but also for reducing their uptake by crops. However, the underlying mechanism of biochar application reducing PAH uptake and accumulation in winter wheat remains unclear. Pot trials were conducted on a PAH-contaminated soil amended with bamboo biochar, coconut shell biochar,and maize straw biochar(MSB) for an entire gro...     

Effect of low energy-consuming biochars in combination with nitrate fertilizer on soil acidity amelioration and maize growth

Purpose

We evaluated the ameliorative effects of crop straw biochars either alone or in combination with nitrate fertilizer on soil acidity and maize growth.

Materials and methods

Low energy-consuming biochars were prepared from canola and peanut straws at 400 °C for 2 h. Incubation experiment was conducted to determine application rate of biochars. Afterward, maize crop was grown in pots for 85 days to investigate the effects of 1 % biochars combined with nitrate fertilizer on soil pH, exchangeable acidity, and maize growth in an Ultisol collected from Guangdong Province, China.

Results and discussion

Application of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 % either canola straw biochar (CSB) or peanut straw biochar (PSB) increased soil pH by 0.15, 0.27, 0.34, and 0.30, 0.58, 0.83 U, respectively, after 65-day incubation. Soil pH was increased by 0.49, 0.72, 0.78, and 0.88 U when 1 % CSB or PSB was applied in combination with 100 and 200 mg N/kg of nitrate, respectively, after maize harvest in greenhouse pot experiment. These low-cost biochars when applied alone or in combination with nitrate not only reduced soil exchangeable acidity, but also increased Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, Na⁺, and base saturation degree of the soil. A total of 49.91 and 80.58 % decreases in exchangeable acidity were observed when 1 % CSB and PSB were incubated with the soil for 65 days, compared to pot experiment where 71.35, 78.64, 80.2, and 81.77 % reductions of exchangeable acidity were observed when 1 % CSB and PSB were applied in combination with 100 and 200 mg N/kg of nitrate, respectively. The higher contents of base cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, Na⁺) in biochars also influenced the plant growth. The higher biomass in CSB-treated pots was attributed to the higher K content compared to PSB. The higher percent reduction in exchangeable Al³⁺ by applying 1 % CSB combined with 200 mg N/kg of nitrate consistently produced maximum biomass (129.65 g/pot) compared to 100 mg N/kg of nitrate and 1 % PSB combined with 100 and 200 mg N/kg of nitrate. The exchangeable Al³⁺ mainly responsible for exchangeable acidity was decreased with the application of biochars and nitrate fertilizer. A highly significant negative relationship was observed between soil exchangeable Al³⁺ and plant biomass (r ²?=?0.88, P?<?0.05).

Conclusions

The biochars in combination with nitrate fertilizer are cost-effective options to effectively reduce soil acidity and improve crop growth on sustainable basis.

     

有机培肥对红壤坡耕地产流产沙的影响

采用侵蚀小区田间监测方法,研究秸秆覆盖、生物质炭和猪粪等有机物料添加对红壤坡耕地产流产沙的影响。结果表明:2015年红壤坡耕地侵蚀量达到36 t/hm~2,78%~86%发生在花生季,达到中度侵蚀。与对照(CK)处理相比,单施化肥(NPK)处理没有降低产流产沙(P0.05)。与NPK处理相比,秸秆覆盖(NPK+Str)处理显著降低了产流产沙(P0.05);生物质炭(NPK+BC)处理显著降低了产流(P0.05),但是减沙效果不明显(P0.05);猪粪(NPK+SM)处理尽管提高了地表径流(P0.05),但是显著降低了产沙(P0.05)。秸秆资源在该区匮乏,秸秆覆盖难以推广。生物质炭的团聚能力弱,颗粒小,质量轻,易随水流失,在坡耕地上改良效果不明显。猪粪在该区资源丰富,不但提高土壤肥力,促进了团聚体形成,而且水土保持效果好,是该区农业生态环境可持续发展的重要措施之一。     

胶冻样芽孢杆菌与生物质炭复配及对番茄产量和品质的影响

以提高胶冻样芽孢杆菌在土壤中的存活率、减缓其衰亡速率,延长存活时间,提高其对土壤难溶性钾的解钾效率为目的,利用不同种类的秸秆生物质炭与胶冻样芽孢杆菌进行复配筛选。通过室内培养试验发现,中性小麦秸秆炭可作为胶冻样芽孢杆菌较理想的载体。当土壤培养35天后,土壤速效钾含量在施用炭基解钾菌肥条件下较空白提高了28.53%,较小麦秸秆炭和纯菌液处理分别提高了20.75%、13.41%。纯菌液处理土壤中胶冻样芽孢杆菌的菌落数从1.1×10~9个/g土降为9.0×10~5个/g土,而炭基解钾菌肥处理则为1.4×10~7个/g土。田间施用炭基解钾菌肥能够提高番茄植株和果实中的全钾含量;提高番茄产量和品质,显著提高番茄Vc含量,降低硝酸盐含量。因此,中性小麦秸秆炭与胶冻样芽孢杆菌的复配能够提高菌剂的存活率,有效促进土壤中矿物态钾的释放。     

Single and competitive adsorption isotherms of some heavy metals onto a light textured calcareous soil amended with agricultural wastes-biochars

This study investigated the adsorption behavior of selected heavy metals (Pb, Cu, and Ni) under single and multi-metal conditions by a light textured calcareous soil amended with plant residue biochars (corn straw, wheat straw, rice husk and licorice root pulp each at 3% w/w). The Freundlich isotherm best described the heavy metal adsorption suggesting multilayer adsorption. For all treatments under both adsorption conditions, the heavy metal adsorption capacity followed the order of Pb > Cu > Ni, which was associated with the hydrolysis constant, ionic radius, and electronegativity of these metals. Simultaneous presence of multiple metals decreased the adsorption capacity for each metal and the sequence was in the order of Ni > Pb > Cu. The corn straw biochar (CSB) had the highest adsorption capacity (Freundlich K_f (mg g^?1) for Ni = 0.23, Cu = 1.41 and Pb = 2.73) and medium distribution coefficient (K_{d medium}(L kg^?1) for Ni = 59.30, Cu = 1961.00 and Pb = 2602.00), indicating the CSB is the best treatment for stabilization of heavy metals in the soil. This was associated with the chemical characteristics of the CSB (high amounts of CaCO₃ and P) and the greatest increase in soil pH value.
