秸秆带状覆盖下培土对马铃薯产量与水分利用效率的影响

气候变化效应评估、土壤固碳潜力和肥力管理等,迫切需要详尽的土壤有机质（soil organic matter, SOM）空间分布信息。该文以江苏省第二次土壤普查的1 519个典型土壤剖面的表层（0～20 cm）SOM含量为例,选择1 217个样本为建模集,302个为验证集,选取年均温度、年均降雨、物理性黏粒和土壤pH值等因子进行SOM的地理加权回归（geographically weighted regression, GWR）建模。从建模集中分别随机抽取100%（1 217个）、80%（973个）、60%（730个）、40%（486个）,20%（243个）的样点,对比不同样点数量下GWR和传统全局回归模型的精度差异,并选择最优模型进行SOM空间预测制图。结果表明：1）江苏省SOM含量在不同空间尺度上存在极显著的空间自相关性。不同样点数量的建模集的全局自相关性和局部空间自相关聚类图结果相似。全局Moran''s I值介于0.25～0.61（P<0.001）。SOM含量空间分布以空间聚集特征为主,"高-高"聚集区主要分布在苏中和苏南地区,"低-低"聚集区主要分布在苏北地区。2）GWR建模结果均优于传统的传统全局回归建模,其残差在不同的空间尺度上均不存在空间自相关性。不同建模集的GWR的R2adj较全局建模均提高0.15～0.20,其AIC和RSS均比全局模型有大幅降低,为56.08～360.19和17.40～76.67。不同建模样本数量的GWR模型对SOM的解释能力差异较小。3）建模样点数量（除建模样本n=243）对GWR预测制图结果的精度影响不大,RMSE介于5.56～5.75 g/kg之间,MAE介于3.87～4.05 g/kg之间,R2介于0.52～0.48之间,均优于全部建模样点的普通克里格插值验证结果。该研究可为样点数较少的省级尺度地区SOM空间建模与制图提供借鉴。     

青藏高原永冻土活动层厚度预测指标集的建立及制图

以青藏高原为研究区,采用数字土壤制图方法,进行了少量调查样本支持下的永冻土活动层厚度预测指标集的建立及制图研究。利用土壤和景观环境之间关系,筛选建立了活动层厚度预测指标集:地表昼夜温差、海拔、坡度、坡向、归一化植被指数(NDVI)、母岩。利用样点个体代表性方法实现了该区永冻土活动层厚度分布制图,取得了较高的精度和分辨率,克服了永冻土活动层厚度模拟过程中数学物理模型难以进行空间扩展制图以及半经验模型制图分辨率粗的局限。针对调查样点全局代表性较差以及数量有限的局限,本研究没有采用常规的一次性全样本最优建模方式,而采取多次抽样分别建模方式,获得预测指标集和制图结果。     

基于地图直接对比的土壤空间表达尺度效应研究——以封丘土壤属性制图为例

将封丘县3 608个土壤样点分为3 463和145个点,分别构成制图数据总集和验证数据总集,再从制图数据总集中通过4%～96%的多尺度随机抽样,构成17个制图子集。分别按Kriging、IDW和以点代面法对土壤有机质、有效磷和速效钾进行预测制图,基于地图直接对比计算制图子集和制图数据总集制图结果的相关系数以评价土壤属性图变化的尺度效应,并与验证数据集评价的多尺度制图结果进行了对比。最后,采用多子集制图结果的变异系数指示多尺度地图表达的不确定性,并将其与基于Kriging估值方差及随机模拟的不确定性表达进行了对比。研究表明,基于地图直接对比可发现,制图效果与样本数量具有显著的分形关系,且分形维数受制图方法和土壤属性空间可变性的双重影响:同样条件下以Kriging方法最小,而以点代面法最大;以土壤速效钾最小,而土壤有效磷最大。验证数据集实测值和估计值的相关系数及均方根误差没有表现预期的分形特征。Kriging估值方差及随机模拟表达的单一尺度制图不确定性明显受采样点分布与Kriging估值大小影响,而基于地图直接对比的多尺度制图的不确定性更客观地反映土壤自然变异,其中土壤有机质、土壤速效钾有较强规律可循,而土壤有效磷则没有规律。     

基于地理权重回归模型的土壤有机质空间预测

准确了解土壤有机质的空间分布是合理施肥的重要前提,也是水土流失控制及保护环境的重要基础。利用113个土壤有机质样点数据,以海拔高度、土壤侵蚀强度、土地利用、比值植被指数、样点至河流的欧氏距离、亚铁矿物指数及坡度为参考因子,来尝试利用GWR(Geographically Weighted Regression)模型探索多重因素作用下的土壤有机质空间分布,并通过与普通线性回归(ordinary least squares,OLS)相比较,来了解GWR模型的精度,进而进行了土壤有机质的空间制图,并对其制图效果进行了评价。结果表明,与OLS模型相比,GWR预测模型它能显著降低AIC(Akaike Information Criterion)值,较大程度地提高模型的决定系数,并有效地减少模型的回归残差值。从制图的总体效果看,GWR模型的预测结果与实测值的吻合程度要优于OLS模型。文章还对利用GWR模型进行回归时的样点数量、因子筛选及因子定量化等方面进行了相应的讨论。     

黑土典型区土壤有机质遥感反演

土壤有机质（SOM）含量时空变异规律研究对于土壤肥力评价、土壤碳库估算、土壤资源利用与保护具有重要意义,而地貌、成土母质、土壤类型等差异、高光谱卫星影像较少等因素制约了区域尺度的SOM含量遥感反演方法研究的开展。该文以黑龙江省黑土带典型区为例,采集区域土壤样本,获取Landsat TM遥感影像,基于有机质含量与土壤反射率的定量关系,建立区域SOM遥感预测模型。结果表明：黑土区SOM含量高,一般大于2%,决定了有机质对土壤反射光谱特性的主要作用,而且该区SOM空间变异性显著,且耕作方式、气候等因素决定了裸土时间长,因而该区适于SOM含量遥感反演;有机质与TM各波段反射率均显著相关,最大相关系数在第3波段（0.63～0.69 μm）,为-0.710,其次为4波段（0.76～0.90 μm）,与实验室基于高光谱反射率数据分析的结果一致;基于TM影像2、3、4波段的SOM指数模型最优,预测精度高、稳定性好,可以用于揭示黑土典型区SOM含量的空间分布特征。该研究将为改进土壤理化参数遥感反演、土地质量评价、土壤碳库估算等工作方法提供理论与技术支持。     

不同样点数量对土壤有机质空间变异表达的影响

以南京市六合区为研究区,通过完全随机和限制最小采样间距抽样分别设置5个样点系列,基于每个样点系列100次重复抽样的变异结构推断及空间预测误差结果,探讨了不同样点数量对土壤有机质(SOM)空间变异表达的影响。结果表明,两种抽样方式降低样点数量后推断的SOM含量的块金效应(C0/C0+C)均随样点数量减少而降低且限制最小采样间距抽样推断的C0/C0+C要低于完全随机抽样方法,说明适当的减少样点数量以便降低与SOM变异尺度不匹配的样点对变异结构推断的影响有助于提高SOM空间变异结构表达的可靠性。普通Kriging预测的SOM误差对比则表明,尽管两种抽样方式下空间预测的均方根误差(RMSE)随样点数量变化而波动,但均低于全部样点的预测误差;通过限制最小采样间距减少样点至250个时,SOM空间预测的RMSE最低,较全部样点预测误差降低了6%,因此,为了实现样点密度与SOM变异尺度相匹配,合理设置土壤采样点的间距及样点数量较单纯的增加采样点数量更为重要。     

艾比湖流域土壤有机质与土壤因子响应关系的空间非平稳性分析

为了研究新疆艾比湖流域土壤有机质(SOM)与土壤因子响应关系的空间非平稳性,文章应用地理加权回归模型(GWR)分析了2009年艾比湖流域49个样点1—120cm土壤层有机质与土壤酸碱性、电导率和重金属含量之间关系的空间变异特征。研究结果表明:在平均意义下,土壤酸碱性和电导率对SOM含量具有反向影响,而重金属含量的影响是正向的,但是在流域的不同区域以及不同深度土壤层间,各土壤因子对SOM含量的影响空间差异显著、具有非平稳性,流域的东西两端及60—120cm土壤层的非平稳性尤为显著。模型的残差分析结果证实GWR拟合效果较好。     

江淮丘陵地区土壤养分空间变异特征——以安徽省定远县为例

以安徽省江淮丘陵地区的定远县为例,利用测土配方施肥获取的1 401个农田表层样点数据,运用地统计学方法和GIS技术研究了土壤有机质(SOM)、全氮(TN)、速效磷(AP)和速效钾(AK)含量的空间变异特征及其影响因素。结果表明,定远县SOM含量为17.74 g/kg,TN含量为1.04 g/kg,AP含量为13.45 mg/kg,AK含量为115.00 mg/kg,属中等水平。变异系数介于28.85%~73.38%,属中等变异强度。地统计分析表明,定远县土壤养分的变异函数符合指数模型,具有中等强度的空间自相关性,SOM和TN的空间自相关性稍强。土壤养分在空间上呈块状分布,SOM、TN和AK的空间分布总体上东南高、西北低;AP总体上西高东低。土壤养分空间变异主要受地形和土壤类型影响。     

基于样点的数字土壤属性制图方法及样点设计综述

土壤剖面数据与土壤类型图按照某种原则进行连接是目前获取土壤属性空间分布信息的主要方法,这种传统的土壤属性制图方法以土壤专家的“经验”和手工描绘为基础,耗费资本高、生产周期长.数字土壤制图通过借鉴先进的空间信息处理技术和高分辨率地形数据的优势,能够快速地获取高精度、高分辨率的土壤属性空间变化信息,是一种精细、高效、经济的土壤属性制图技术.本文详细介绍了基于样点进行数字土壤属性制图的3种方法:①基于空间自相关的方法:②基于空间自相关和土壤-环境关系混合相关的方法:③基于土壤-环境关系的方法.同时,为保证样点能够全面地捕捉到研究区内土壤属性空间变异特征,以上3种方法都对样点的数量、分布或典型性提出了较为严格的要求,即样点应具有全局代表性.因此,如何设计样点成为数字土壤属性制图中的一个重要问题.依据样点设计过程中是否能够整合已有样点,本文将样点设计方案分为采样设计方案和补样设计方案两种,并对其分别进行了详细的综述.     

采样间距对有机质与环境因子相关性识别的影响

以黑龙江省海伦县为研究区,采用限制最小样点间距抽样和方差分解方法研究了采样点间距对土壤有机质(SOM)与环境因子相关关系识别的影响。结果表明,温度、土壤类型、坡度及作物生物量(NDVI)是研究区SOM变异性的主要环境控制因子;采样点数量为125个,最小样点间距为3.5 km时,SOM数据所包含的多尺度信息与多尺度的环境因子达到最佳尺度匹配,环境因子与SOM相关性最高,此时环境因子单独解释的方差及环境因子与空间变量共同解释的方差也最高,而空间变量解释的SOM方差则最小,因此,最适于识别研究区SOM与主要环境控制因子间的相关关系。     

Soil-profile distribution of primary and secondary plant-available nutrients under conventional and no tillage

Nutrient distributions under no tillage (NT) compared with conventional disk-and-bed tillage (CT) management in the warm, humid region of the southeastern USA need to be assessed so that future placement, quantity, and type of fertilizers can be altered, if necessary, to efficiently match crop demands. We determined soil-profile distributions of pH, N, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu to a depth of 0.9 m at the end of 8.5 years of continuous CT and NT management on a Weswood silty clay loam (fine, mixed, thermic Fluventic Ustochrept) in southcentral Texas. Most dramatic changes occurred within the 0–0.05 m depth, where soil under NT had lower pH, Fe, and Cu than under CT, but greater P, K, Zn, and Mn. Greater P and K under NT than under CT also occurred below the till-zone (0.15–0.3 m). At a depth of 0–0.3 m, soil under NT contained greater amounts of extractable P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu than under CT. Nitrogen fertilization had little effect on nutrient distributions, except resulting in greater extractable K at 0–0.05 m and greater nitrate at 0–0.15 m. Few changes in soil-profile distributions were observed for extractable S, Ca, Mg, and Na. Long-term continuous use of NT on this fine-textured, high-fertility (except for N) soil had no apparent adverse effects on nutrient distributions relative to CT, but enhanced conservation and availability of P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu near the soil surface where crop roots proliferate.     

Assessing the effectiveness of conservation measures: Resolving the “wicked” problem of the Steller sea lion

“Wicked” problems are those that are complex and that change when solutions are applied. Many conflicts in conservation fall into this category. The study approached the problem of how to constrain the apparent wickedness of a problem in the conservation management of a species by using simple empirical indicators to carry out iterative assessment of the risk to a population and to document how this risk evolves in relation to the addition of new data and the implementation of management actions. Effects of high levels of uncertainty within data and also concerning population structure were examined through stochastic simulation and by exploration of scenarios. Historical trends in the example used, the Steller sea lion, showed rapid declines in abundance in some regions during the 1980s. The current total population is 130,000-150,000 Steller sea lions through Alaska and British Columbia and this number has been stable since about 1990 in spite of regional differences in population dynamics. Regional differences in the sequence of changes in the number of pups and non-pups, suggested that an internal re-distribution of juveniles could have happened between 1980 and 1990. Current productivity also appears close to the long-term mean. Stochastic population projection using various scenarios showed that, based upon this history, the risk of extinction for the population has declined and is below reasonable thresholds for considering the population to be endangered. The trends in risk suggest that management actions taken since 1990 have probably been effective. Consequently, the conservation management objectives for the Steller sea lion are probably being met. The approach provides a mechanism, based upon experience and scenario analysis, for exploring future policy options and may help to constrain the debate amongst stakeholders about the cost-benefit trade-offs associated with different options.     

Enhanced establishment and growth of giant cardon cactus in an eroded field in the Sonoran Desert using native legume trees as nurse plants aided by plant growth-promoting microorganisms and compost

To evaluate the feasibility of long-term desert reforestation technology of mixed vegetation, cardon cactus (Pachycereus pringlei) seedlings from indoor and outdoor nurseries were planted in the field adjacent to one seedling of potential legume nurse trees: mesquite amargo (Prosopis articulata), yellow palo verde (Parkinsonia microphylla), and blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida). Some of the planting holes were also supplemented with common dairy compost. Additionally, the combinations of legume tree–cactus were inoculated with either a consortium of desert arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB; the diazotroph Azospirillum brasilense Cd, and the phosphate solubilizer Paenibacillus sp.), or a mixture of all. The field experiments were evaluated periodically during 30 months for survival and growth. Cardons reared in an outdoor screen house survived better in the field than those reared in a controlled growth chamber and hardened later outdoors. Association with any legume nurse tree increased survival and enhanced growth of untreated cardons. For cardons growing alone, application of either compost, AM fungi, and all the treatments combined increased survival. For these plants, no treatment affected plant growth during the first 3 months after transplanting. Later, all treatments, except for AM fungi, enhanced plant growth. However, only 2 years after transplanting the enhanced growth effect of AM fungi was also significant. In the presence of the legume nurse trees, transient positive effects on cardon growth were recorded. General evaluation after 30 months of cultivation showed that the treatments positively affected cardon growth when growing alone or in combination only with mesquite amargo but not with the other two legume trees. This study proposes that young legume trees have the capacity to enhance survival and growth of cardon cactus, depending on the legume cactus combination. Additional treatments such as compost or PGPB can either amplify the effect or else attenuate it.     

“绿色革命”以来大气CO2浓度升高对C3作物营养品质的影响

自20世纪60年代"绿色革命"以来,育种技术和农耕技术的发展促进了农作物产量的大幅提升,然而作物的营养品质出现下降趋势。在相似的遗传背景下,大气CO_2浓度升高会使单位体积农作物产品的营养元素含量下降,因此"绿色革命"至今,农作物产品的营养元素下降可能受大气CO_2浓度升高影响。通过植物生长箱模拟"绿色革命"初期和目前的大气CO_2浓度水平(310μmol/mol和400μmol/mol),针对主要C_3作物水稻、小麦和大豆,研究"绿色革命"以来大气CO_2浓度升高对其籽粒的C、N、Fe、Zn元素含量的影响,结果表明:CO_2浓度升高对3种作物籽粒的C元素含量几乎没有影响,变化幅度在±1.5%之间;籽粒的N、Fe、Zn元素含量普遍呈现下降趋势,但均未达到显著水平。     

Potential of wild species for genetic enhancement of some semi-arid food crops

Discovery and incorporation of genes from wild species provide means to sustain crop improvement, particularly when levels of resistance in the cultigens are low and virulent strains of pests and pathogens overcome the host plant resistance. The extent of utilization and the potential of the wild genepool for genetic enhancement were reviewed in five important food crops viz. sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut grown in the semi-arid tropics. Introgression from compatible wild germplasm in the primary gene pool resulted in transfer of new cytoplasmic male sterility systems in pearl millet and pigeonpea, development of high protein, cleistogamous flower and dwarf pigeonpea lines and foliar disease resistant groundnut cultivars. Utilization of wild species in secondary and tertiary gene pools has been generally limited due to sterility, restricted recombination or cross incompatibility. Nevertheless, these species are extremely important as they contain high levels of resistance to several important biotic and abiotic stresses. Several of them, like those belonging to the Parasorghum section and the rhizomatous Arachis species are sources of multiple resistances and hold great promise to sustain crop productivity.     

Karyotypic and genome size variation in Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (pigeonpea) and some wild relatives

Detailed karyotypes and 4C DNA amounts have been studied in five cultivars of Cajanus cajan and 20 species belonging to Cajanus, Rhynchosia, Dunbaria, Flemingia and Paracalyx. C. cajan shows intraspecific variability and its karyotype is most similar to that of C. cajanifolius (sect. Cajanus) in the morphology and number of satellite chromosomes and the lack of any correlation between chromosome size within the complement and asymmetry. Karyotypes of C. lineatus and C. sericeus belonging to sect. Atylia are similar with respect to maximum r-index and the ratio of longest and shortest chromosomes in their respective complements. C. acutifolius (sect. Frutocosa) is distinct in having a very low ratio (1.44) between the longest and the shortest chromosomes, while in C. albicans, C. goensis, C. scarabaeoides (sect. Cantharospermum) there is no chromosome pair with r-index >2.0. C. mollis and C. volubilis (sect. Volubilis) show similarity with regard to ratio between the longest and the shortest chromosomes and a distinct chromosome pair with an arm ratio of 2.7 and C. platycarpus is distinct (sect. Rhynchosoides) in having the smallest ratio (1.36) between the longest and the shortest chromosomes. 4C DNA amounts in Cajanus and Rhynchosia vary between 3.28 pg to 11.69 pg and 4.92 pg to 11.13 pg respectively, while in Dunbaria, Flemingia and Paracalyx these vary between 4.70 and 7:06 pg. In the genus Cajanus karyotypic features and 4C DNA amounts agree with the sectional classification and bring out a close relationship between C. cajan and C. cajanifolius. This is supported by studies based on seed protein patterns, isozyme analysis, trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor patterns, RFLP and RAPD data and crossability relationships. A clear relation between DNA amount and abnormalities effecting the extent of pairing and recombination in interspecific hybrids shows the importance of this study in developing future breeding programme involving C. cajan and its wild relatives that are of potential value.     

Effect of some fungicide seed treatments on the survival of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and on the nodulation and yield of soybean [Glycine max. (L) Merr.]

Several commercial fungicide seed treatments were evaluated for their possible effect on the survival of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on seeds and on the nodulation and yield of soybeans in a greenhouse and a field experiment. quinolate Pro (carbendazim and oxine copper), Vitavax 200FF (carboxin and thiram), and Monceren (pencycuron) had a small effect or no effect on the survival of B. japonicum and on the nodulation and yield of soybeans. They can thus be considered compatible with soybean seed inoculation. Germipro UFB (carbendazim and iprodione), Apron 35J (metalaxyl), and Tachigaren (hymexazol) decreased B. japonicum survival and the nodulation and yield of soybeans and thus cannot be considered compatible with soybean seed inoculation.

Einfluss der düngungsmethoden auf die entwicklung von zuckerrübenkrankheiten

Während neunjähriger (1994-2002) Untersuchungen in der Versuchsanstalt Ba?cyny (Fahlerde, Fall-Gleyboden, ausgebildet aus leichtem Lehmboden) wurde der Befall mit Krankheiten an der Zuckerrübe in Abhängigkeit von der Düngungsmethode bewertet. Folgende Methoden wurden angewendet: A - Mineraldünger, B - Stalldung und Mineraldünger, C - Stroh-, Gründung und Mineraldünger, D - Kompostdünger und Biopräparate (ökologische Düngung). Auf den Objekten A, B, C wurden bei konstanter Phosphor-Kalium-Düngung die Stickstoffgaben von 0 bis 180 kg.ha^?1 differenziert. Auf dem ökologischen Objekt D ohne Mineraldünger wurden statt Stickstoff die Biopräparate P₅₀₀ und P₅₀₁ verabreicht. Der geringste Befall von Krankheiten wurde an der Zuckerrübe auf jenem Objekt festgestellt, das mit Kompost und den Biopräparaten gedüngt worden war. Im Rahmen der konventionellen Düngungsmethoden wurde allgemein die höchste Intensität der Krankheiten an der mit Stroh, Gründung und Mineraldünger gedüngten Zuckerrübe beobachtet. Ausnahmen von dieser Regel bildete das Vorkommen von echtem Mehltau und Keimlingsfäule. Auf den Objekten A, B, C nahm die Intensität der Krankheiten mit der Steigerung der Stickstoffgabe zu. Auch die auf Objekt D verabreichten Biopräparate stimulierten die Entwicklung der Krankheiten. The effect of various fertilization methods on the diseases of sugar beet was estimated on the basis of nine-year studies (1994-2002) conducted in the Experimental Production Farm in Ba?cyny on loess-based, sedimentary-gley, light-clay soil. The following fertilization methods were applied: A - mineral fertilization, B - mineral and manure fertilization, C - straw, green manure and mineral fertilization, D - ecological compost and biodynamic preparations fertilization. In the objects A, B and C fertilized with phosphorus and potassium, various doses of nitrogen ranging from 0 to 180 kg/ha^?1 were used. In the ecological object D, where mineral fertilization was not used, biodynamic preparations P₅₀₀ and P₅₀₁ were applied instead of nitrogen. The lowest ratio of the diseases of sugar beet was observed in the object fertilized with the compost and biodynamic preparations. In view of the conventional fertilization methods, generally the highest incidence of diseases was noted in the sugar beet fertilized with straw, green manure and mineral fertilizers. The exception was the occurrence of powdery mildew and the black leg. In objects A, B and C the incidence of the diseases increased with the increase in nitrogen doses. The applied biodynamical preparations in the object D stimulated the development of diseases too.     

Prospects for control of Pythium damping-off of lettuce with Trichoderma,Gliocladium and Enterobacter spp.

Summary Damping-off of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) caused by Pythium ultimum was studied in pots containing a non-sterile potting mix in the glasshouse. Fifty P. ultimum sporangia g^-1 compost reduced the plant stand to 15% and shoot dry weight to 18%, but this reduction was totally prevented by applying Trichoderma harzianum at 2×10⁵ viable propagules g^-1 potting mix. Gliocladium virens and Enterobacter cloacae also alleviated the damping-off. E. cloacae did not adversely affect the action of the fungal antagonists. The co-existence of the bacterial and fungal antagonists was revealed on the root surface and inner surface of the testa by scanning electron microscopy, indicating the compatibility of the biocontrol agents.
