通过不同种植年限茶园土壤有机无机复合状况以及有机碳的分布变化特征的研究,结果表明,植茶条件下,土壤有机碳含量、重组有机碳含量以及土壤有机无机复合量均高于非茶园对照土壤,并且随着植茶年限的增加而增加,土壤中轻组有机碳增加幅度明显大于重组有机碳,原土复合度下降.随着植茶年限的增加,茶园土壤＞50 μm级复合体含量减少,＜2 μm复合体含量增加,但茶园土壤有机无机复合体组成仍以＞50μm复合体为主,10～50μm复合体次之,＜2μm复合体含量最低.茶园土壤各粒级复合体有机碳含量均随植茶年限有不同程度增加,其中＜2 μm复合体固持的有机碳含量最高.其余粒级中有机碳含量随着粒径变粗而下降.有机碳在各粒级复合体中的分布以及各粒级复合体有机碳占土壤总碳量的比例均表现出2～10μm复合体＞小于2 μm复合体＞大于50μm复合体＞10～50μm复合体的趋势.     

开垦对黑土有机碳在有机无机复合体分配的影响

本文研究了不同开垦年限黑土粘粒、粉砂和细砂级复合体中有机碳的分布特征及其变化规律,结果表明,黑土有机无机复合体组成以细砂级复合体为主,粘粒及粉砂级复合体次之。随着开垦年限的延长,黑土耕层和犁底层土壤粒粘级复合体的含量均有不同程度的增加,而粉粒及细砂级复合体的含量相应减少;黑土耕层各复合体中有机碳含量均明显减少,犁底层亦表现出降低的趋势。犁底层各复合体中有机碳含量占土壤有机碳含量的百分数表现各异,在粘粒级复合体中随着开垦年限延长趋于增加,而在粉粒和细砂级复合体中趋于减少。黑土耕层土壤粘粒级复合体中有机碳含量与粘粒级复合体含量呈明显的负相关,粉砂和细砂级复合体中有机碳含量与粉砂和细砂级复合体含量则呈明显的正相关。     

东北黑土有机无机复合体组成及有机碳空间分布特征

以东北典型黑土区为研究对象,测定土壤不同粒级有机无机复合体、矿物颗粒和有机碳含量,探讨土壤有机无机复合体组成及其空间分布特征,分析土壤对有机碳的复合机制。结果表明:东北黑土有机无机复合体组成主要以细砂粒复合体为主,黏、粉粒复合体次之,其含量均随剖面发生层向下呈减少趋势,南北区域上,也呈降低趋势。有机碳在各级复合体中及土壤中的含量均随着复合体的粒径增大而减少。各级复合体有机碳在土壤中均呈随剖面发生层向下由A层呈指数函数下降,在区域上,因东北黑土剖面有机碳含量及南北温度差异有机无机复合体含量曲线随区域差异有所不同。同时也说明东北黑土黏粒仍有较大的碳库容量。从其组成和组分间的相关分析,黏粒是形成和增加粉粒复合体的基础,从而利于增加土壤有机碳储量和改善土壤团聚结构。     

不同耕作方式下黑土有机无机复合体变化及有机碳分布特征

研究了不同耕作方式下黑土有机无机复合体组成及有机碳在各级复合体中的分布特征。结果表明：黑土有机无机复合体组成以粉粒复合体为主;黑土有机碳主要存在于小粒级复合体中,开垦有使有机碳向小粒级复合体中聚集的趋势。随着复合体粒径的增大,有机碳各组分的含量趋于减少,HA/FA比值趋于增加;腐殖质碳主要集中在粉砂粒以下的复合体中,且复合体的粒径越小,HA所占比重越大。开垦可导致土壤复合体分散,不利于HA类胶结物质向小粒级复合体中分配,轮作有利于土壤有机碳的累积,土壤物理性状的改善及土壤肥力的提高。     

不同区域稻田土壤复合体有机碳分配及δ~(13)C特征

选取位于5个不同区域(吉林龙井、河南封丘、浙江慈溪、江西进贤和海南海口)的代表性稻田,对其土壤复合体有机碳分配及δ13C特征进行了研究。结果表明,不同区域稻田土壤中各粒级复合体含量(质量百分比)变化主要体现在<2μm和>50μm粒级部分。南方稻田0-20 cm土层中<2μm复合体含量较20-40 cm土层低,而北方稻田0-20 cm土层则较20-40 cm土层高。稻田0-20 cm和20-40 cm土层中,<50μm各粒级土壤复合体有机碳含量的变化趋势基本一致;>50μm复合体有机碳含量则在稻田20-40 cm土层中出现急剧下降,显著低于表层。农田土壤有机碳主要集中在<10μm复合体中。气候条件、耕作制度和起源土壤对农田土壤复合体有机碳分配有显著影响,其中稻田耕作环境更有利于表层粗有机体的累积。不同区域稻田0-20 cm土层中,土壤复合体粒级越小,其有机碳δ13C值越高,碳库活性越低;而20-40 cm稻田土层中复合体有机碳库活性则并非严格遵循粗粒活性高于细粒的规律,在>50μm粗粒复合体中表现尤为明显。     

不同耕作方式下黑土有机无机复合体变化及有机碳分布特征

研究了不同耕作方式下黑土有机无机复合体组成及有机碳在各级复合体中的分布特征。结果表明:黑土有机无机复合体组成以粉粒复合体为主;黑土有机碳主要存在于小粒级复合体中,开垦有使有机碳向小粒级复合体中聚集的趋势。随着复合体粒径的增大,有机碳各组分的含量趋于减少,HA/FA比值趋于增加;腐殖质碳主要集中在粉砂粒以下的复合体中,且复合体的粒径越小,HA所占比重越大。开垦可导致土壤复合体分散,不利于HA类胶结物质向小粒级复合体中分配,轮作有利于土壤有机碳的累积,土壤物理性状的改善及土壤肥力的提高。

以19年蔬菜保护地长期定位施肥试验土壤为材料,借助超声波分散技术将土壤分为不同粒级的有机无机复合体,研究长期不同施肥处理对土壤有机无机复合体磷素含量变化的影响。结果表明,长期施用有机肥及有机肥与磷肥配施使<10μm的复合体减少,并向较大粒级复合体转化。不同粒级复合体中的全磷、有机磷与速效磷含量在<2μm粒级最高,并随粒径增大呈下降趋势。与对照相比,不同施肥可以提高各粒级复合体中磷的含量。其中,有机肥与磷肥配施处理各粒级复合体中磷素含量增幅最大。相关分析表明,土壤各粒级复合体中有机磷和速效磷均与全磷呈极显著正相关(r=0.9180**,r=0.9621**)。

以第二松花江干流为对象,研究其底泥有机无机复合体的组成及有机碳分布的差异,同时分析底泥有机无机复合体组成及其有机碳分布与岸边土壤之间的关系。结果表明:底泥与岸边土壤在有机无机复合体组成、有机碳分配和腐殖质组成方面表现出较好的一致性,说明岸边土壤对底泥的有机碳组成和分布有显著贡献。底泥的中央粒径呈现上游高、下游低的特点,抚松底泥中央粒径为200μm,吉林底泥中央粒径在70μm左右,榆树、松原底泥中央粒径在50μm左右;底泥的有机碳和腐殖酸含量也表现出上游高于下游的特点。底泥有机无机复合体组成以砂粒复合体为主,黏粒、粉粒复合体含量次之;并且随着复合体粒径的增加,有机碳含量减少。底泥HA/FA均大于1,从上游至下游表现为抚松>吉林>榆树>松原;底泥HA/FA均小于岸边土壤。     

不同土地利用方式下第四纪古红土有机碳分布特征研究

以不同土地利用方式下（疏林荒草地、荒草地、林地和耕地）第四纪古红土和埋藏第四纪古红土剖面为研究对象,测定古红土各发生层全土及各粒级团聚体的有机碳含量,比较不同土地利用方式下第四纪古红土剖面及团聚体的有机碳分布特征。结果表明:（1）埋藏古红土有机碳含量较低,随深度分布均一,各粒级团聚体内有机碳含量随团聚体粒径减小而降低;（2）埋藏古红土出露地表后,由于受到人为活动影响,表层全土有机碳及各粒级团聚体有机碳含量均增加,呈现林地 > 耕地 > 疏林荒草地 > 荒草地 > 埋藏古红土的特征,其中,林地显著高于其他土地利用方式,说明林地是古红土分布区的一种较合理的土地利用方式;（3）耕地0 ~ 10 cm土层粒径 > 1 mm和 < 0.25 mm团聚体的有机碳含量均随团聚体粒径减小而逐渐增加,1 ~ 0.25 mm团聚体有机碳含量随团聚体粒径减小逐渐降低。其余土地利用方式下古红土均呈现 > 0.25 mm团聚体的有机碳含量随着团聚体粒径减小而逐渐降低,< 0.25 mm团聚体的有机碳含量随团聚体粒径减小而逐渐增加。     

子午岭林区不同植被恢复阶段土壤有机碳变化研究

研究了子午岭林区植被恢复过程中土壤有机碳含量、团聚体有机碳分布以及不同粒级团聚体有机碳对土壤有机碳的贡献率。研究结果表明,0—100 cm剖面上有机碳含量加权平均值随植被恢复年限逐渐升高,坡耕地0—100 cm土层土壤有机碳加权平均值为3.54 g/kg,弃耕地、草地、灌木和乔木阶段分别比坡耕地提高6.8%,36.6%,41.5%和73.6%;0—20 cm土层土壤有机碳含量随植被恢复的提高幅度明显高于20 cm以下土层;0—5和5—10 cm土层土壤各粒级团聚体有机碳含量随植被恢复年限逐渐增加,并有向大粒级（〉2 mm）团聚体中富集的趋势,10—20 cm土层土壤团聚体有机碳含量随植被恢复变化不明显;弃耕地、草地、灌木和乔木阶段0—20 cm土层〉5,5～2和2～1 mm粒级团聚体有机碳贡献率高于坡耕地,说明植被恢复0—20 cm土层土壤增加的有机碳更多地固定在〉1 mm粒级团聚体中。     

Composition and Organic Carbon Distribution of Organomineral Complex in Black Soil under Different Land Uses and Management Systems

Organomineral complexes form the basis of soil fertility and have significant effects on the soil environment. In this research, we aimed to study the composition and organic carbon (C) distribution of organomineral complexes in a black soil under different land uses and management by means of ultrasonic dispersion and particle assortment. The results showed that the fine sand–size complex (20–200 μm) was dominant under different land uses and management. Silt-size (2–20 μm) and fine sand-size content increased with nitrogen and phosphorus application (NP) and NPM (NP together with organic manure) treatment, whereas clay-size (0–2 μm) content decreased. The content of <20-μm complex in GL (grassland) was less than in BL (bareland), and >20-μm complex showed the opposite trend. The silt-size content increased with the increase of SOC (soil organic C). A negative relationship was observed between the clay-size complex content and SOC content. Land-use change resulted in different dynamics in C sequestration in soil. The content of <20-μm complex in GL was more than in NP and NPM; GL has potential to sequester more C than tilled soil because of the stability of SOC stored in the <20-μm fraction. Long-term application of organic manure and vegetation restoration increased the OC (organic carbon) content of all sizes of complexes; the OC contents of clay-size complex were in the order GL > NPM > NP > BL > NF (no fertilizer applied) and increased the proportion of OC in >20-μm complexes, indicating that OC content in sand-size fractions increased with total SOC content.     

Impact of Soil Management on Organic Carbon Content and Aggregate Stability

Abstract

Soil cultivation influences organic carbon storage and soil structures. To evaluate the impact of different soil‐management practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) pools and aggregate stability in black soils, SOC in whole soil, various size aggregates, and density‐separated fractions from three long‐term experiments (20 years) was examined. The three soil‐management systems were grassland (GL), bare land (BL), and croplands. The croplands had two treatments: nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer application (NP) and NP together with organic manure (NPM). The SOC in the 0‐ to 10‐cm layer decreased in the order NPM>GL>NP>BL and also declined with the soil depth. The SOC of GL increased by 9.7% as compared to NP after 20 years of natural vegetation restoration. The SOC of NPM increased by 11% over NP after 13 years of organic manure application. The percentages of water‐stable aggregate (>0.25 mm) (WSA_>0.25mm) decreased in the order GL>BL>NPM>NP in the top 0‐ to 20‐cm horizon. WSA_>2mm, the most important fraction for carbon (C) storage in GL and NPM, accounted for 33 and 45% of the whole soil for GL in the depths of 0–10 and 10–20 cm, respectively, and 25 and 18% for NPM in the same soil layers. A significant positive correlation was found between the C stored in WSA_>2mm and total SOC (r=0.81, P<0.05) and between the mean weight diameters (MWD) of aggregates and total SOC (r=0.78, P<0.05). Water‐stable aggregate_0.25–2mm was the largest fraction of WSA_>0.25mm, ranging from 54 to 72% for the 0‐ to 10‐cm layer and 46 to 71% for the 10‐ to 20‐cm layer; thus these aggregates would play a major role in soil sustainability as well as the resistance to soil erosion. The organic carbon (OC) of heavy fraction (HF) accounted for 94–99% of the OC in the WSA_0.25–2mm, whereas free particulate organic matter (fPOM) and occluded particulate organic matter (oPOM) contributed a minor fraction of the OC in the WSA_0.25–2mm, suggesting that C sequestration in HF could enhance the stability of aggregates and C pools in black soil.     

长期不同施肥对塿土大团聚体中有机碳组分特征的影响

【目的】研究长期施肥对土大团聚体中有机碳组分特征的影响,揭示不同施肥方式下土壤有机碳的固持机制,为合理施肥提供理论依据。【方法】采集土35年长期肥料定位试验不同施肥处理0—10 cm和10—20 cm土样,分析其大团聚体中各组分有机碳含量的变化。试验处理为:不施肥(CK)、单施化肥(NP)、单施有机肥(M)和有机肥配施化肥(MNP)。【结果】与CK相比,长期NP处理对大团聚体中粗颗粒有机碳(cPOC)、细颗粒有机碳(fPOC)、大团聚体中微团聚体内颗粒有机碳(iPOC)以及矿质结合态有机碳(MOC)组分的有机碳(OC)含量均无显著影响;而M处理以及MNP处理可显著提高两土层cPOC和iPOC组分的OC含量以及0—10 cm土层MOC组分的OC含量,其中,cPOC含量增幅分别为174%~338%和215%~245%,iPOC含量增幅分别为127%~241%和106%~130%,MOC含量增幅达28.9%~34.6%。MNP处理显著提高了0—10 cm土层fPOC组分的OC含量,增幅达482.1%。累积碳投入量与大团聚体中各组分的OC含量呈显著线性相关,尤其是iPOC含量,表明长期施肥过程中土有机碳在大团聚体中固存的差异主要受物理保护的颗粒有机碳组分的影响。【结论】关中地区土长期施化肥对大团聚体中各组分OC含量没有显著影响,而长期单施有机肥能进一步增加大团聚体中各组分OC含量,有机肥配施化肥能显著增加团聚体中各组分OC含量,特别是大团聚体中微团聚体内颗粒有机碳组分的含量,进而增加土的有机碳固持。因此,有机肥配施化肥是提高土有机碳含量的有效措施。     

长期施肥土壤不同粒径颗粒的固碳效率

【目的】探讨不同施肥措施土壤有机碳在不同粒级颗粒中的分配及变化情况,可揭示各级颗粒中有机碳与外源有机碳输入之间的定量关系。【方法】依托南方红壤连续20年长期定位施肥试验,依据外源有机碳累积输入梯度选择不施肥(CK)、氮磷钾化肥配施(NPK)、氮磷钾化肥与秸秆配施(NPKS)、轮作条件下氮磷钾化肥与有机肥配施(NPKMR)、氮磷钾化肥与有机肥配施(NPKM)、单施有机肥(M)、增量氮磷钾化肥与增量有机肥配施(1.5NPKM)7个处理,并采用物理分组方法将土壤颗粒分为砂粒(53~2000μm)、粗粉粒(5~53μm)、细粉粒(2~5μm)和粘粒(2μm)4个组分。【结果】与不施肥相比,长期施肥均能显著增加土壤总有机碳及各级颗粒中的有机碳的储量,其中以施用有机肥的效果最明显。不同施肥处理各级颗粒中以粘粒的有机碳储量最高,平均为16.26 t/hm~2。施用有机肥和秸秆还田均能显著增加砂粒中有机碳的分配比例,降低粘粒有机碳的分配比例而对粗粉粒和细粉粒无显著影响。土壤砂粒所占的质量百分比及其与粗粉粒、细粉粒和粘粒的比值均与粗粉粒、细粉粒和粘粒组分中有机碳的浓度呈显著正相关关系表明小颗粒(粗粉粒、细粉粒和粘粒)中有机碳的固持和富集促进了大颗粒(砂粒)的形成与稳定。各级颗粒之间,施用有机肥处理的土壤粘粒组分的固碳速率最快,为0.29~0.52 t/(hm~2·a),其次为砂粒[0.30~0.40 t/(hm~2·a)]而粗粉粒和细粉粒的固碳速率基本相当为0.09~0.16t/(hm~2·a)。分析结果还表明土壤总有机碳及各级颗粒有机碳与外源有机碳的输入呈显著正线性相关关系,其中土壤总固碳效率为10.57%而各级颗粒之间,粘粒和砂粒组分的固碳效率(4.25%和3.60%)相当于粗粉粒和细粉粒(1.73%和1.00%)的2倍以上。【结论】南方红壤各级颗粒中有机碳均没有出现饱和现象,有机碳主要在土壤粘粒和砂粒组分中富集,细颗粒中有机碳的富集会促进大粒径土壤颗粒的形成而粘粒是土壤固碳效率最重要的矿物颗粒组成部分。表明长期配施有机肥不仅是红壤有机质提升的重要措施,也是改善红壤结构的重要途径。     

土地利用变化与长期施肥对黑土有机碳密度的影响

土壤管理方式影响土壤碳库储量,进而影响土壤的源汇功能。该研究通过测定草地(GL)、裸地(BL)、农田无肥(NF)、化肥(NP)和化肥配施有机肥(NPM)处理的有机碳含量和土壤容重,估算了不同土地利用和施肥管理方式下的土壤有机碳密度的变化及农田的固碳潜力。结果表明,土壤有机碳含量表层最高而且变化较大,向下逐渐降低且变化较小。对于不同植被覆盖的3个处理,草地0-20cm土层土壤有机碳含量比裸地和无肥分别高出20.6%和16.4%。对于不同施肥管理方式,化肥有机肥配施土壤有机碳含量比无肥和化肥分别高出25.4%和15.5%,所有处理有机碳含量在160-200cm土层没有显著差异。0-40cm土层及0-100cm土体有机碳密度的变化趋势是NPMGLNPNFBL;40cm以下有机碳储量无规律性变化,表现出较大的变异性,这可能与土壤本身的空间异质性有关。草地100cm土体有机碳储量比裸地和无肥分别增加6.8%和5.7%,裸地和无肥无显著差异;化肥加有机肥100cm土体有机碳储量比化肥和无肥分别增加10.4%和5.9%。经估算,松嫩平原黑土区0-100cm土体有机碳库储量约为1.35Pg,农田有机培肥后碳库储量可达到0.96Pg,其固碳潜力约为0.05Pg。0-100cm土体有机碳密度与0-20cm土层有机碳含量及有机碳密度呈极显著正相关(r=0.99;r=0.97,P0.01),表明土壤表层有机碳含量及密度对0-100cm土壤有机碳库具有决定作用。     

不同土地利用下黑土磷素肥力特征的研究

通过对海伦农田生态系统国家野外科学观测研究站内3种土地利用下共5个处理(裸地、草地、无肥耕地、施化肥耕地、施化肥和有机肥耕地)的典型黑土中的磷素进行了测定,结果表明经过20年长期定位试验后,3种土地利用方式下的土壤中草地全磷含量比裸地高17.5%,速效磷含量比裸地高22.9%;无肥耕地土壤全磷含量比裸地高7.9%,速效磷含量比裸地高80.1%。施化肥耕地全磷含量比无肥耕地高17.1%,速效磷含量是无肥耕地的3.3倍;施化肥和有机肥耕地全磷含量比施化肥耕地高46.3%,速效磷含量是施化肥耕地的3.3倍。土壤无机磷分级结果表明,不同土地利用下土壤中Ca2-P、Ca8-P、Al-P、Fe-P含量差异显著,而O-P、Ca10-P含量无明显变化,其中Ca2-P、Ca8-P、Al-P、Fe-P的含量,草地与裸地相比分别提高了30%、38%、17%、6.2%;无肥耕地与裸地相比提高了110%、75%、7.7%、-25%,与草地相比提高了62%、27%、-7.8%、-29%。施化肥耕地与无肥耕地相比,土壤中Ca2-P、Ca8-P、Al-P、Fe-P的含量分别提高了13%、153%、124%、92%;施化肥和有机肥耕地与施化肥耕地相比分别提高了341%、357%、136%、69%。对土壤磷的吸附性能测定结果表明,3种土地利用下土壤对磷的吸附能力为:无肥耕地>草地>裸地;耕地的3个处理中施化肥和有机肥可明显提高土壤对磷的吸附能力。     

有机肥对棕壤不同粒级有机碳和氮的影响

采集棕壤长期肥料定位试验站不施肥和施用不同用量有机肥的土壤,通过超声波分散—离心分离得到细黏粒(<0.2μm)、粗黏粒(0.2～2μm)、粉粒(2～53μm)、细砂粒(53～250μm)和粗砂粒(250～2000μm)5个颗粒级别后,分析全土及不同粒级中土壤有机碳和氮并进行含量与分布的比较。结果表明,有机质主要分布于黏粒级中,其含量占全土有机碳的42.8%、全氮的58.3%,碳氮比随着粒级的增加而逐渐增大,表明氮易于在小粒级中富集。长期施用有机肥后,全土及各粒级有机碳和氮含量均有显著增加;砂粒级中有机碳和氮的富集系数升高,黏粒级中富集系数降低,粉粒级和砂粒级中的碳氮比降低。增加有机肥的用量加强了全土和各粒级对有机碳和氮的积累,同时加强了粉粒级和砂粒级碳氮比降低的程度。     

耕地土壤有机碳组分的季节变化

Carbon fractions in soils apparently vary not only in space, but also over time. A lack of knowledge on the seasonal variability of labile carbon fractions under arable land hampers the reliability and comparability of soil organic carbon(SOC) surveys from different studies. Therefore, we studied the seasonal variability of two SOC fractions, particulate organic matter(POM) and dissolved organic carbon(DOC), under maize cropping: POM was determined as the SOC content in particle-size fractions, and DOC was measured as the water-extractable SOC(WESOC) of air-dried soil. Ammonium, nitrate, and water-extractable nitrogen were measured as potential regulating factors of WESOC formation because carbon and nitrogen cycles in soils are strongly connected. There was a significant annual variation of WESOC(coefficient of variation(CV) = 30%). Temporal variations of SOC in particle-size fractions were smaller than those of WESOC. The stocks of SOC in particle-size fractions decreased with decreasing particle sizes, exhibiting a CV of 20%for the coarse sand-size fraction(250–2 000 μm), of 9% for the fine sand-size fraction(50–250 μm), and of 5% for the silt-size fraction(20–50 μm). The WESOC and SOC in particle-size fractions both peaked in March and reached the minimum in May/June and August, respectively. These results indicate the importance of the time of soil sampling during the course of a year, especially when investigating WESOC.     

长期施肥对栗褐土有机碳含量及其组分的影响

【目的】作为土壤质量的重要指标,土壤有机碳及其组分在耕地生产力和作物产量方面发挥着重要作用。本文以25年长期定位施肥试验为依托,分析了不同施肥处理对栗褐土有机碳含量及其组分的影响,为调控农田土壤肥力及栗褐土有机碳库的管理提供科学依据。【方法】田间试验开始于1988年,设置8个施肥处理为不施肥(CK);单施氮肥(N);氮磷肥合施(NP);单施低量有机肥(M1);低量有机肥与氮肥合施(M1N);低量有机肥与氮磷肥合施(M1NP);高量有机肥与氮肥合施(M2N);高量有机肥与氮磷肥合施(M2NP)。于第25年玉米播种前,采集以上处理的耕层(0—20 cm)土壤样品。借助有机碳物理分组方法和化学分析方法,测定了土壤总有机碳和有机碳各组分的含量。【结果】长期施用不同肥料不同程度地提高了栗褐土总有机碳、游离态颗粒有机碳以及闭蓄态颗粒有机碳含量,其中有机肥与化肥配施尤其是高量有机肥与化肥配施的作用更加明显。与不施肥相比,高量有机肥与无机肥配施(M2N、M2NP)总有机碳含量增加了121.1%、166.8%,游离态颗粒有机碳增加了239.2%、359.2%,闭蓄态颗粒有机碳增加了288.4%、289.9%。单施氮肥(N)及有机肥与氮磷肥配施(M1NP、M2NP)可显著提高矿物结合态有机碳含量,增幅分别为27.8%、34.8%、33.3%。不施肥条件下,栗褐土有机碳中颗粒有机碳与矿物结合态有机碳所占的比例相当,长期施肥提高了颗粒有机碳特别是闭蓄态颗粒有机碳的比例,降低矿物结合态有机碳所占的比例,闭蓄态颗粒有机碳成为栗褐土有机碳的主要贮存库。相关分析表明,长期施肥条件下栗褐土游离态、闭蓄态颗粒有机碳含量之间及其与总有机碳含量之间均呈极显著正相关,矿物结合态有机碳含量与总有机碳及其他组分的有机碳之间均无明显相关。【结论】化肥、有机肥以及有机肥与化肥配施能够提高栗褐土游离态颗粒有机碳、闭蓄态颗粒有机碳以及总有机碳含量。高量有机肥与化肥配施更有助于栗褐土游离态、闭蓄态颗粒有机碳的积累,有利于土壤养分有效性的提高和有机碳品质的改善。氮肥单施、有机肥与氮磷肥配施则是提高矿物结合态有机碳含量的有效措施。     

Long-term impact of reduced tillage and residue management on soil carbon stabilization: Implications for conservation agriculture on contrasting soils

Residue retention and reduced tillage are both conservation agricultural management options that may enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization in tropical soils. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of long-term tillage and residue management on SOC dynamics in a Chromic Luvisol (red clay soil) and Areni-Gleyic Luvisol (sandy soil) in Zimbabwe. At the time of sampling the soils had been under conventional tillage (CT), mulch ripping (MR), clean ripping (CR) and tied ridging (TR) for 9 years. Soil was fully dispersed and separated into 212–2000 μm (coarse sand), 53–212 μm (fine sand), 20–53 μm (coarse silt), 5–20 μm (fine silt) and 0–5 μm (clay) size fractions. The whole soil and size fractions were analyzed for C content. Conventional tillage treatments had the least amount of SOC, with 14.9 mg C g⁻¹ soil and 4.2 mg C g⁻¹ soil for the red clay and sandy soils, respectively. The highest SOC content was 6.8 mg C g⁻¹ soil in the sandy soil under MR, whereas for the red clay soil, TR had the highest SOC content of 20.4 mg C g⁻¹ soil. Organic C in the size fractions increased with decreasing size of the fractions. In both soils, the smallest response to management was observed in the clay size fractions, confirming that this size fraction is the most stable. The coarse sand-size fraction was most responsive to management in the sandy soil where MR had 42% more organic C than CR, suggesting that SOC contents of this fraction are predominantly controlled by amounts of C input. In contrast, the fine sand fraction was the most responsive fraction in the red clay soil with a 66% greater C content in the TR than CT. This result suggests that tillage disturbance is the dominant factor reducing C stabilization in a clayey soil, probably by reducing C stabilization within microaggregates. In conclusion, developing viable conservation agriculture practices to optimize SOC contents and long-term agroecosystem sustainability should prioritize the maintenance of C inputs (e.g. residue retention) to coarse textured soils, but should focus on the reduction of SOC decomposition (e.g. through reduced tillage) in fine textured soils.
