退化喀斯特植被恢复对土壤微生物数量及群落功能多样性的影响

采集不同恢复阶段的土壤样品,采用微生物培养法研究了退化喀斯特植被恢复对土壤微生物数量、群落功能多样性的影响。研究结果表明随着退化喀斯特植被的恢复,土壤微生物数量增加,表现为乔木群落阶段灌木群落阶段草本群落阶段裸地阶段。土壤微生物群落代谢功能分析表明:植被恢复往往导致较高的平均颜色变化率、物种丰富度和功能多样性。乔木群落阶段的平均诱导底物利用率最高,明显地与其他3个恢复阶段不同。总之,植被恢复使得土壤微生物数量增加,碳源平均利用率增强。因此,创造了更好的土壤条件更有利于退化喀斯特植被的恢复。     

长期施用化肥对塿土微生物多样性的影响

【目的】土壤微生物在土壤有机质分解、营养循环、植物生长等方面都发挥着重要作用,研究长期施用化肥对其产生的影响可为农田合理施用化肥、培肥土壤和高产高效可持续性农业生产提供理论依据。【方法】以陕西杨凌"国家黄土肥力与肥料效益监测基地"的长期定位试验为基础,利用BIOLOG分析并结合常规分析研究了6种长期不同化肥施用方式不施肥(CK)、单施氮肥(N)、氮钾配施(NK)、磷钾配施(PK)、氮磷配施(NP)和氮磷钾配施(NPK)对土土壤微生物量和微生物功能多样性的影响。【结果】与不施肥CK相比,长期单施氮肥(N)的SMBC、SMBN没有显著变化,但明显降低了土壤微生物商和土壤微生物对氮素的利用;NP和NPK配施能够显著增加土SMBC和SMBN含量,明显提高了土壤微生物商,使土壤微生物种群结构发生了明显变化但土壤微生物对氮素的利用没有显著提高;长期偏施肥处理(NK、PK)的SMBC、SMBN和微生物商虽轻微增加,但土壤微生物种群结构没有显著改变。BIOLOG分析结果显示施磷处理(PK、NP和NPK)对微生物代谢活性的促进作用较大且在培养初期代谢活性较不施磷处理(CK、N和NK)增加显著。长期单施氮肥(N)对于提高土壤微生物多样性没有显著作用而其他化肥施用处理可以提高土土壤微生物群落的碳源利用能力、物种的丰富度和优势度,其中NP和NPK处理配施效果最好。化肥施用对土土壤微生物群落的均匀度没有显著影响。主成分分析的结果表明不同处理的土壤微生物对碳源利用表现出显著差异,氮磷养分的差异是产生分异的主要原因。【结论】土区小麦玉米轮作下,平衡施肥(NP或NPK配施)对于改善农田土壤微生物特性具有良好作用。     

Soil microbial communities resistant to changes in plant functional group composition

The soil community is an often ignored part of research which links plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning despite their influence on numerous functions such as decomposition and nutrient cycling. Few consistent patterns have been detected that link plant and soil community composition. We used a removal experiment in a northern Canadian grassland to examine the effects of plant functional group identity on soil microbial community structure and function. Plant functional groups (graminoids, legumes and forbs) were removed independently from plots for five growing seasons (2003-2007) and in the fifth year effects on the soil microbial community were examined using substrate-induced respiration (SIR - a measure of metabolic diversity) and phospholipid fatty acid analysis (PLFA - a measure of microbial community composition). Removal treatments were also crossed with both a fertilizer treatment and a fungicide treatment to determine if effects of functional group identity on the soil community were context dependent. Plant functional group identity had almost no effect on the soil microbial community as measured by either SIR or PLFA. Likewise, soil properties including total carbon, pH, moisture and nutrients showed a limited response to plant removals in the fifth year after removals. We found a direct effect of fertilizer on the soil community, with fertilized plots having decreased metabolic diversity, with a decreased ability to metabolize amino acids and a phenolic acid, but there was no direct soil microbial response to fungicide. We show that in this northern Canadian grassland the soil microbial community is relatively insensitive to changes in plant functional group composition, and suggest that in northern ecosystems, where plant material is only slowly incorporated into the soil, five growing seasons may be insufficient to detect the impact of a changing plant community on the soil microbes.     

The influence of different types of urban land use on soil microbial biomass and functional diversity in Beijing,China

Soil microbes in urban ecosystems are affected by a variety of abiotic and biotic factors resulting from changes in land use. However, the influence of different types of land use on soil microbial properties and soil quality in urban areas remains largely unknown. Here, by comparing five types of land use: natural forest, park, agriculture, street green and roadside trees, we examined the effects of different land uses on soil microbial biomass and microbial functional diversity in Beijing, China. We found that soil properties varied with land uses in urban environments. Compared to natural forest, soil nutrients under the other four types of urban land use were markedly depleted, and accumulation of Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd was apparent. Importantly, under these four types of land use, there was less microbial biomass, but it had greater functional diversity, particularly in the roadside‐tree soils. Furthermore, there were significant correlations between the microbial characteristics and physicochemical properties, such as organic matter, total nitrogen and total phosphorus (P < 0.05), suggesting that lack of nutrients was the major reason for the decrease in microbial biomass. In addition, the larger C/N ratio, Ni concentration and pool of organic matter together with a higher pH contributed to the increase in microbial functional diversity in urban soils. We concluded that different land uses have indirect effects on soil microbial biomass and microbial community functional diversity through their influence on soil physicochemical properties, especially nutrient availability and heavy metal content.     

生物发酵肥对温室黄瓜土壤微生物组成的影响

以大棚黄瓜根区土壤为研究对象,测定了不同施肥方式下温室黄瓜地土壤微生物3大类群和主要功能群组成及土壤微生物量碳(microbial biomass carbon,MBC),研究了温室中不同施肥方式对黄瓜根区土壤微生物组成及土壤MBC(土壤微生物生物量碳)的影响,探讨了微生物发酵有机肥对土壤肥力的影响。结果表明,土壤中细菌、真菌、放线菌数量由高到低的顺序依次为:发酵肥>发酵肥+50%化肥>常规施肥>普通有机肥>CK;土壤微生物综合指标Shannon-Wiener指数以生物发酵肥最高;氨化细菌、固氮菌及纤维素分解菌数量以生物发酵肥最高,硝化细菌数量以发酵肥+50%化肥处理最高;生物发酵肥和发酵肥+50%化肥两处理的MBC均显著高于常规施肥。施用微生物发酵有机肥可显著增加土壤微生物数量及微生物的群落多样性,并有助于提高土壤综合肥力。     

长期不同土地利用方式下土土壤微生物特性的变化

【目的】土壤微生物是土壤生态系统的重要组成部分,研究长期不同土地利用方式对其产生的影响可为该地区选择适宜的土地利用方式,实现培肥土壤和高产高效农业生产提供理论支撑。【方法】以位于陕西杨凌的"国家黄土肥力与肥料效益监测基地"的长期定位试验为基础,利用Biolog分析结合常规分析,研究了4种长期不同土地利用方式[不施肥农田(CK),长期施氮、磷、钾化肥农田(NPK),长期绝对休闲(FL)和撂荒(AL)]对土土壤微生物量、呼吸强度和微生物功能多样性的影响。【结果】AL和NPK处理的土壤微生物量碳(SMBC)和微生物量氮(SMBN)均显著高于CK和FL处理,其中AL和NPK处理之间差异不显著,CK和FL处理之间差异不显著。NPK处理的SMBC/SMBN值最高,而CK和FL处理最低,两组间差异显著,而AL处理居中但与两组之间均差异不显著。不同土地利用方式下土壤基础呼吸强度的变化趋势是ALFLNPKCK,累积呼吸量的变化趋势为ALNPKFLCK,表明AL处理的土壤微生物活性最高,其次是NPK处理,再者是FL处理,而CK处理的土壤微生物活性最低。Biolog分析的结果显示,AL、NPK和CK处理的平均颜色变化率(AWCD)在开始的24 h变化不大,此后随培养时间的延长而快速升高;而FL处理在72 h之后才快速升高。培养结束时,NPK和AL处理的AWCD最大,其次是CK处理,FL处理最低。NPK和AL处理的Shannon-Wiener物种丰富度指数H、碳源利用丰富度指数S和Simpson指数D均最高,CK其次,FL最低。各处理的Shannon-Wiener均匀度指数E没有明显差异。相比CK、NPK和AL处理能提高土土壤微生物群落的功能多样性,FL处理则会降低土土壤微生物群落的功能多样性。主成分分析共提取了5个主成分,累计贡献率达87.7%,其中第1主成分(PC1)的方差贡献率为52.0%,第2主成分(PC2)为11.6%。NPK处理和AL处理的碳源利用特征相类似,与CK和FL处理存在显著差异,表明不同土地利用方式下土壤微生物群落的结构和功能出现了显著分异。糖类、羧酸类和氨基酸类等三类碳源是区分各处理的主要碳源。【结论】撂荒和合理施肥的农田均可以提高土壤微生物量、土壤呼吸作用和土壤微生物群落结构和功能的多样性,长期的绝对休闲则不利于土壤微生物功能多样性的维持。合理施肥的农田并不会造成土壤微生物量的下降以及土壤微生物结构和功能多样性的退化,相反,合理施肥对于维持农田土壤微生物量以及微生物结构和功能多样性具有显著的积极作用。     

Importance of rhizodeposition in the coupling of plant and microbial productivity

Plant roots influence the biological, chemical and physical properties of rhizosphere soil. These effects are a consequence of their growth, their activity and the exudation of organic compounds from them. In natural ecosystems, the linkages between inputs of carbon from plants and microbial activity driven by these inputs are central to our understanding of nutrient cycling in soil and the productivity of these systems. This coupling of plant and microbial productivity is also of increasing importance in agriculture, where the shift towards low‐input systems increases the dependence of plant production on nutrient cycling, as opposed to fertilizers. This review considers the processes by which plants can influence the cycling of nutrients in soil, and in particular the importance of organic inputs from roots in driving microbially mediated transformations of N. This coupling of plant inputs to the functioning of the microbial community is beneficial for acquisition of N by plants, particularly in low‐input systems. This occurs through stimulation of microbes that produce exoenzymes that degrade organic matter, and by promoting cycling of N immobilized in the microbial biomass via predation by protozoa. Also, plants increase the cycling of N by changes in exudation in response to nitrogen supply around roots, and in response to browsing by herbivores. Plants can release compounds in exudates that directly affect the expression of genes in microbes, and this may be an important way of controlling their function to the benefit of the plant.     

SOIL DEVELOPMENT AT THE ROADSIDE: A CASE STUDY OF A NOVEL ECOSYSTEM

Over the last few decades, road construction has increased dramatically, and new surfaces have appeared in most landscapes. Standard roadside reclamation practices often fail, because vegetation establishment appears to be limited by microsite availability. We considered soil properties as a key factor driving vegetation establishment on roadslopes over time. We address the following questions: (i) Are soil features conditioned by type of roadslope, position thereupon or applied hydroseeding? (ii) Is there any evidence of soil development at the roadside four years after road construction? (iii) Do mutual interactions exist between soil features and vegetation cover? We designed an experimental set‐up on a highway in Central Spain (Madrid). We selected 15 roadslopes (nine roadcuts and six embankments) with three hydroseeding treatments (commercial, alternative and untreated). Four years after the road construction, we considered three roadslope positions (top, middle and bottom) to take into account the geomorphological gradient. We monitored soil features and vegetation cover over 4 years after the road construction. Soil chemical differences were found between roadslope types, mainly resulted from topsoil spreading on embankments and the weathering of the newly exposed materials on roadcuts. Applied amendments do not affect soil fertility or vegetation cover. In the course of time, vegetation establishment and geomorphological gradients operate differentially on roadcuts and embankments. Accordingly, cycling back of organic compounds or geomorphological processes differs between roadslopes types. Restoration efforts should be directed to guarantee key ecological processes and support soil formation. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Restoration of Gypsicolous Vegetation on Quarry Slopes: Guidance for Hydroseeding under Contrasting Inclination and Aspect

The establishment of gypsicolous vegetation of high conservation value on land impacted by quarrying requires restoration measures to overcome constraints imposed by the new landforms created in the process. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of three standard hydroseeding methods to restore gypsicolous vegetation on quarry spoil slopes under a dry Mediterranean climate. The treatments were as follows: paper cellulose mulch, paper cellulose mulch + organic blanket, and wood fibre mulch, compared against a control. These treatments were tested on two slopes (10–15% vs 60–65%) and two contrasting aspects (north vs south). We evaluated the cover of all plant species 2·8 years after treatment, assessing both target gypsicolous species and non‐target species. Our results showed strong compositional and cover differences between hydroseeded and control plots. Control plots had a low cover of target species with a vegetation composed of early‐successional species that had the potential to hinder target species establishment over time. All hydroseeding treatments improved target vegetation cover, with wood fibre performing best in most situations studied here, alternatives being the cheaper but less effective paper mulch on shallow slopes, or the more expensive paper mulch + blanket on steep slopes in case of high erosion risk. Shallow and southern‐steep slopes were more suitable for the recovery of gypsum vegetation by hydroseeding, compared to northern‐steep slopes where non‐target species developed more readily outcompeting target species. These results will help to guide management decisions to restore gypsicolous vegetation by hydroseeding in disturbed gypsum habitats. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of tillage and N fertilization on microbial physiological profile of soils cultivated with wheat

Microbial diversity might be a good indicator of ecosystem disturbance and functioning. We determined the effect of soil disturbances, such as N fertilization and tillage management, on soil microbial communities in a Typic Argiudoll of the El Salado river basin (Argentina). Microbial activity and substrate utilization provided a metabolic fingerprint of the soil microbial community. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to differentiate responses to N fertilization and tillage at each of three growth stages of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Tillage had an adverse effect on microbial diversity, in which reduced and conventional tillage treated soils had different populations. However, N fertilization also altered microbial diversity depending on the crop developmental stage considered. Metabolism of carboxylic acids and carbohydrates were the main indicators of functional microbial activity and diversity. Although the substrate consumption profile of 32 C substrates did not provide insights into the fundamental ecological interactions that may induce changes in microbial population, it allowed us to demonstrate the alterations of microbial diversity as a result of tillage. We conclude that tillage and N fertilization altered microbial diversity.     

Ecosystem partitioning of N-glycine after long-term climate and nutrient manipulations, plant clipping and addition of labile carbon in a subarctic heath tundra

Low temperatures and high soil moisture restrict cycling of organic matter in arctic soils, but also substrate quality, i.e. labile carbon (C) availability, exerts control on microbial activity. Plant exudation of labile C may facilitate microbial growth and enhance microbial immobilization of nitrogen (N). Here, we studied ¹⁵N label incorporation into microbes, plants and soil N pools after both long-term (12 years) climate manipulation and nutrient addition, plant clipping and a pulse-addition of labile C to the soil, in order to gain information on interactions among soil N and C pools, microorganisms and plants. There were few effects of long-term warming and fertilization on soil and plant pools. However, fertilization increased soil and plant N pools and increased pool dilution of the added ¹⁵N label. In all treatments, microbes immobilized a major part of the added ¹⁵N shortly after label addition. However, plants exerted control on the soil inorganic N concentrations and recovery of total dissolved ¹⁵N (TD¹⁵N), and likewise the microbes reduced these soil pools, but only when fed with labile C. Soil microbes in clipped plots were primarily C limited, and the findings of reduced N availability, both in the presence of plants and with the combined treatment of plant clipping and addition of sugar, suggest that the plant control of soil N pools was not solely due to plant uptake of soil N, but also partially caused by plants feeding labile C to the soil microbes, which enhanced their immobilization power. Hence, the cycling of N in subarctic heath tundra is strongly influenced by alternating release and immobilization by microorganisms, which on the other hand seems to be less affected by long-term warming than by addition or removal of sources of labile C.     

Soil animals and ecosystem processes: How much does nutrient cycling explain?

Trophic-dynamic hypotheses have been extensively tested by manipulating the presence of soil animals in experimental laboratory microcosms. Soil animals typically have pronounced effects on microbial populations, nutrient cycling and plant growth. However, because often only the total effect has been reported, the relative importance of feeding interactions versus non-trophic effects remains obscure. Using simple calculations based on mass conservation I argue that the observed faunal effect on microbes and system functioning is often larger than can be explained by trophic dynamics and nutrient cycling. Non-trophic effects may help to explain why microcosm experiments have failed to support trophic-dynamic predictions like trophic cascades. Since such effects are also likely independent of species identity and population density, they may facilitate the interpretation of experiments where decomposition processes have been found to be largely insensitive to soil fauna diversity.     

不同培肥模式对茶园土壤微生物活性和群落结构的影响

以闽东地区红黄壤茶园定位实验地为对象,通过测定6种不同施肥处理土壤微生物学特性,研究不同培肥对土壤微生物特性和生物化学过程的影响,阐明各指标间的相互关系.结果表明,除了单施无机肥处理外,半量化肥+半量有机肥、全量有机肥、全量化肥+豆科绿肥以及半量化肥+半量有机肥+豆科绿肥等的培肥方式均不同程度提高了土壤有机质,可培养微生物数量,微生物量碳、氮含量及土壤酶活性,尤以半量无机肥+半量有机肥+豆科牧草的培肥模式增幅更为明显,而单施无机肥不利于微生物的生长、酶活性的提高和维持生态系统的稳定性.微生物群落磷脂脂肪酸(PLFAs)标记主成分分析显示,各种不同施肥方式使微生物群落结构发生改变.相关分析表明,微生物量与可培养微生物数量、微生物磷脂脂肪酸含量之间的相关性明显高于微生物量与各种酶活性之间的相关性,说明微生物数量大小对微生物群落结构的影响大于对酶活性功能的影响.研究也表明土壤各微生物指标能从不同方面反映土壤肥力水平,所以采用各种不同的方法能更客观地评价闽东地区茶园红黄壤质量的优劣.

Responses of soil microbial community to nitrogen fertilizer and precipitation regimes in a semi-arid steppe

Purpose

Changes of nitrogen (N) cycle caused by N fertilization and precipitation regimes have affected the key ecosystem structure and functions in temperate steppe, which may modify the structure of soil microbial communities involved in N transformation. This paper was designated to examine the response of soil ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers to the N fertilization and precipitation regimes in a semi-arid steppe where N and water contents are major limiting factors of the grassland productivity.

Materials and methods

This study was based on a long-term N fertilization and precipitation regimes experiment in Inner Mongolia (116° 17′ 20″ E, 42° 2′ 29″ N). The treatments including CK (control), R (reduced precipitation), W (30% increase in precipitation), N (10 g N m^?2 y^?1), RN (reduced precipitation and 10 g N m^?2 y^?1), and WN (30% increase in precipitation and 10 g N m^?2 y^?1). Soil basic chemical properties and microbial activities were analyzed. Molecular methods were applied to determine the abundance, structure and diversity of ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers. Statistical analysis detected the main and interactive effect of treatments on soil microbial communities and revealed the relationship between soil microbial community structures and environmental factors.

Results and discussion

N fertilization significantly increased ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) abundance. Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) community structure was markedly changed in N fertilizer treatment and strongly affected by soil pH, while soil nitrate and water content correlated with AOB community structure. Soil nitrate was the key factor influencing nirK gene community structure, while soil pH and water content explained much of the variations of nosZ gene community. AOB-amoA and nosZ gene community diversities were influenced by precipitation regimes and interaction of N fertilization and precipitation regimes, respectively.

Conclusions

N fertilization and precipitation regimes had significant influences on the changes of soil properties and microbial functional communities. Soil nitrification was mainly driven by AOB in the semi-arid grassland. Changes of substrate content and soil pH were the key factors in shifting functional microbial communities. The non-synergistic effects of N fertilization and precipitation regimes on the microbial functional groups indicated that the negative effect of lower pH induced by N fertilization would be alleviated by precipitation regimes, which should be well considered in grassland restoration.

     

Impact of atmospheric CO2 and plant life forms on soil microbial activities

From the global change perspective, increase of atmospheric CO₂ and land cover transformation are among the major impacts caused by human activities. In this study, we are addressing the combined issues of the effect of CO₂ concentration increase and plant type on soil microbial activities by asking how annual and perennial plant groups affect soil microbial processes under elevated CO₂. The experimental design used a mix of species of different growth forms for both annuals and perennials. Our objective was: (1) to determine how two years of annual or perennial plant cover and CO₂ enrichment could affect Mediterranean soil microbial processes; (2) to test the resistance and the resilience of these soil functional processes after a natural perturbation. We determined the effects of 2 years atmospheric CO₂ enrichment on soil potential respiration (SIR), denitrification (DEA) and nitrification (NEA) activities. We could not find any significant effect of CO₂ increase on SIR, DEA and NEA. However, we found a strong effect of the plant cover type, i.e. annuals versus perennials, on the potential microbial activity related to N cycling. DEA and NEA were significantly higher in soil under annual plants while SIR was not significantly different. To determine whether these changes would survive a natural perturbation, we carried out a rain event experiment once the experimental treatments (i.e. different plant cover and atmospheric CO₂ concentration) were stopped. The soil potential respiration, as expressed by the SIR, was not affected and remained stable. DEA rates converged rapidly under annuals and perennials after the rain event. Under both annuals and perennials NEA increased significantly after the rain event but remained significantly higher in the soil with annual plants. The relative change of the soil microbial processes induced by annual and perennial plants was inversely related to the density and the diversity of the corresponding microbial functional groups.     

沼液对河西绿洲葡萄园土壤微生物功能多样性的影响

为探明使用沼液对土壤质量的影响，明确土壤微生物功能多样性对沼液使用量和使用年限的响应，在甘肃祁连葡萄观光园进行等氮量替代和增施沼液处理，采用Biolog方法测定土壤微生物功能多样性。结果表明：（1）100%等氮量沼液处理的土壤微生物群落代谢活性最小，替代33%氮量处理的土壤微生物群落代谢活性最高，连续两年使用沼液的处理间差异大于一年。（2）试验地土壤微生物利用的主要碳源为碳水化合物类，使用沼液能够显著提高土壤微生物对氨基酸类和羧酸类碳源的利用率。连续两年使用沼液条件下，增施沼液处理（133%和167%）效果优于等氮量替代处理。（3）与单施化肥对照相比，使用沼液处理仅在提高土壤微生物均一度指数方面存在优势，且增施沼液处理（133%和167%）效果优于等氮量替代处理。（4）主成分分析表明，沼液使用量和使用年限对土壤微生物碳源利用水平以及代谢多样性的影响有差异，且使用年限增加能使各处理间变异程度增大。（5）碳水化合物类和氨基酸类碳源是引起不同沼液用量处理土壤微生物功能群分异的主要碳源，其中碳水化合物类是使用年限增加后土壤微生物群落变化的敏感碳源。（6）Pearson相关性分析表明，该试验地土壤微生物功能多样性与土壤有机质、碱解氮呈正相关关系，与速效磷、速效钾呈负相关关系。综上，长期使用沼液（尤其是沼液与化肥配施）有利于提高土壤微生物代谢活性和土壤微生物群落功能多样性，且当沼液使用量较大时能达到完全取代化肥的效果。     

中国东北黑土上长期施用化肥对土壤微生物生物量和功能多样性的影响

An experiment with seven N, P, K-fertilizer treatments, i.e., control （no fertilizer）, NP, NK, PK, NPK, NP2K, and NPK2 where P2 and K2 indicate double amounts of P and K fertilizers respectively, was conducted to examine the effect of long-term continuous application of chemical fertilizers on microbial biomass and functional diversity of a black soil （Udoll in the USDA Soil Taxonomy） in Northeast China. The soil microbial biomass C ranged between 94 and 145 mg kg^-1, with the NK treatment showing a lower biomass; the functional diversity of soil microbial community ranged from 4.13 to 4.25, with an increasing tendency from control to double-fertilizer treatments, and to triple-fertilizer treatments. The soil microbial biomass, and the microbial functional diversity and evenness did not show any significant differences among the different fertilizer treatments including control, suggesting that the long-term application of chemical fertilization would not result in significant changes in the microbial characteristics of the black soil.
