大豆和小麦对土壤中镉的吸收与富集研究

在温室条件下,采用盆栽方法研究了大豆和小麦在全镉含量为0.211~2.011 mg/kg的土壤中生长状况以及对镉的吸收与富集特征。结果表明,试验所设土壤镉含量对两种作物的株高和单盆籽粒数没有影响。随土壤镉含量的增加,两者单盆产量呈先增加后降低的趋势。大豆籽粒在土壤全镉含量为0.211~0.811 mg/kg时,小麦籽粒在土壤全镉含量为1.411~2.011 mg/kg时更容易积累镉。添加镉能明显增加两种作物植株各部分镉含量。外源添加镉对大豆的转移系数影响不明显,但能增加小麦的转移系数。两种作物的富集系数基本表现为根>茎叶>籽粒。在土壤全镉含量低于0.511 mg/kg时,大豆根和茎的富集系数接近或大于1.0,对镉的吸收较强。在土壤全镉含量高于0.811 mg/kg时,小麦茎叶的富集系数接近或大于1.0,对镉的吸收较强。小麦根的富集系数均高于大豆,且大于1.0,前者具有更高的镉富集能力。     

Cr(Ⅲ)胁迫对大豆、小麦生长及铬吸收和转运的影响

利用系统发育和根系形态不同的大豆与小麦,采用盆栽试验,研究了不同添加量铬对两种作物生长及铬吸收和转运的影响,并对两种作物铬耐受能力进行比较。结果表明,当土壤铬含量大于287.9 mg/kg(添加量为250 mg/kg)时,大豆植株生长变慢,无豆荚产生,且后期易枯萎死亡;大豆根系铬含量和富集系数超过小麦,而转移系数随铬添加量增加而逐渐降低,说明大豆对土壤中铬胁迫的耐性低于小麦;小麦籽粒铬含量超过规定的临界值。在土壤铬含量小于287.9 mg/kg时,小麦根系铬浓度和富集系数高于大豆,小麦根系比大豆具有更强的铬吸收能力;大豆茎叶富集系数高于小麦。     

添加铅对大豆和小麦生长及铅吸收特征影响的研究

盆栽条件下,研究了大豆和小麦在铅添加量为0~1 050 mg/kg的土壤中生长及对铅的吸收与富集特征。结果表明,外源添加铅能降低小麦和播种20 d后的大豆株高,但对播种40 d后的大豆株高无影响。添加铅能降低大豆和小麦单盆籽粒数和单盆籽粒重量,但适量低浓度的铅对大豆单盆籽粒重量有一定的促进作用。随铅添加量的增加,大豆与小麦根系和地上部的铅含量都是逐渐升高的,且土壤中铅含量与两种作物根系和地上部铅含量成显著正相关。多数情况下,铅主要分布在大豆和小麦的根系,两种作物不同部位富集系数顺序基本为根>茎叶>籽粒。     

污泥农用对痕量元素在小麦-玉米轮作体系中的积累及转运的影响

利用田间试验初步研究了污泥农用对小麦、玉米大田作物及土壤环境影响以及污泥中痕量元素在土壤与植物可食部分之间转移规律。结果表明，施用污泥后，尤其是36t·hm^-2施用量时，土壤中Zn、Cu、Cd、Pb、As和№的含量均显著增加，但是施用污泥4．5至36t·hm^-2后，除小麦籽粒中Zn、Cu含量和玉米籽粒中Zn、Cr含量显著增加外，其他痕量元素在小麦和玉米籽粒中的含量没有显著增加。作物籽粒中Zn含量与土壤中污泥施加量之间存在着显著的线性回归关系，土壤中增施1t·hm^-2之污泥，小麦和玉米籽粒中Zn的含量分别增加0．570和0．118mg·kg^-1。小麦和玉米籽粒除M和Pb的富集系数相近外，对其他痕量元素而言，小麦籽粒的富集系数显著高于玉米籽粒。从痕量元素的累积速率和现行土壤环境质量标准考虑，北京污泥中Hg是优先考虑控制的元素，但是污泥中№对食品安全的影响还需要进行长期的大田实验研究。     

不同类型水稻镉富集与转运能力的差异分析

选取84个水稻品种在镉（Cd）中轻度污染农田上进行原位小区试验，通过统计分析水稻Cd富集系数及转运系数，探索具有相似产量与Cd富集能力的水稻品种各器官Cd的富集及Cd在土壤-水稻系统中转移特征，比较不同类型水稻Cd富集与转运的差异。结果表明：水稻糙米Cd富集系数范围为0.10~0.78，小区产量范围为8.20~11.50 kg（以小区面积3.5 m×3.5 m计），不同水稻品种产量与糙米Cd富集能力不存在显著相关性。以产量和糙米Cd富集系数为指标将所有水稻品种进行聚类分为高产高Cd（组1）、低产高Cd（组2）、高产低Cd（组3）和低产低Cd（组4）四组。水稻各器官Cd富集规律均为根系>茎>叶>糙米，Cd由根系向上传递过程中，含量越来越低。不同产量和富集能力的水稻类型的差异，主要在于茎和叶的富集与转移。高产或高Cd品种有较强的将Cd从根转运到茎和从茎、叶转运到米的能力。低Cd水稻无论产量高低，对各器官的Cd转运能力无显著影响。筛选、培育适合在中轻度污染区种植的高产低Cd水稻品种是可行的。在种植过程中控制茎的吸收与转运将对保障粮食安全生产具有重要意义。     

镉胁迫下磷酸二铵对小麦生长及吸收镉的影响

以黄土和小麦为供试对象,通过盆栽试验研究了不同Cd胁迫水平下施用(NH4)2HPO4对小麦生长及Cd富集、转移的影响。结果表明,Cd胁迫对小麦的生长表现为低促高抑,Cd胁迫下施用(NH4)2HPO4可促进小麦的生长,尤其是茎叶的生长;小麦各部位的Cd含量均随着土壤Cd胁迫水平的升高而升高,且根系茎叶籽粒。施用(NH4)2HPO4能促进小麦对Cd的吸收,对根系和籽粒的促进作用大于茎叶;小麦各部位对Cd的富集能力均随着土壤Cd胁迫水平的升高而先增加后减小,而茎叶的转移能力先降低后升高,籽粒反之。施用(NH4)2HPO4显著促进根系对Cd的富集和茎叶对Cd的转移。     

作物根系对土壤中老化HCH-DDT的富集作用

在室温条件下,采用盆栽试验方法研究了小麦和玉米作物根系对自然污染土壤中不同水平老化HCH、DDT的富集作用及其影响机制。通过连续提取,将根系富集的有机氯农药分为弱吸着、强吸着和吸收3种不同形态。结果表明,作物对老化HCH、DDT的富集存在选择性。在60d的试验周期内,玉米根系富集的HCH、DDT中55．4％～62．2％为根表强吸着,23．3％～36．9％为根内吸收;而小麦根系中HCH,DDT的73．8％-76．9％被根表强吸着,仅15．4％-20．5％可以进入根系组织内部。不同形态组分中异构体及代谢物的组成比例差异化明显,其中吸收态以β-HCH为主,强吸着态以P,p＇-DDT、p,p＇-DDE和P,p＇-DDD为主。随着土壤污染水平的增加,小麦和玉米根系对HCH、DDT的富集总浓度增加,而生物蓄积系数逆浓度梯度增加,小麦根系的富集能力强于玉米。在控制污染水平的条件下,作物根系对土壤老化HCH、DDT的富集量与其根系比表面积大小和总脂含量极显著正相关,而向根系深层组织运移的过程主要受总脂含量控制。     

长期施肥对作物铜、铅、铬、镉含量的影响

为了弄清长期施肥对作物重金属含量的影响,利用长期定位试验,研究了不同施肥措施对小麦、水稻铜、铅、铬、镉含量的影响,并对其籽粒中重金属的含量进行了安全性评价,结果表明,长期施肥影响了小麦和水稻中铜、铅、铬、镉的含量,小麦、水稻籽粒中铅、铬、镉含量长期施肥处理均明显增加,其中铅、铬含量都超过了国家食品卫生标准,施磷处理水稻籽粒中镉含量也严重超标.小麦、水稻对土壤铜和铬的富集能力较强,对铅、镉的富集能力较小;小麦对铬和铜的富集能力大于水稻,其富集系数分别是水稻的2.5倍和2.8倍.而水稻对镉的富集能力大于小麦,富集系数是小麦的2.1倍.     

重工业城市农田生态系统中Hg污染及防治

在太原市三大农业区皮点采集成熟的农作物籽粒（玉米、高效、水稻、小麦、谷子）和相应的农田土壤进行Ｈｇ含量的测定,分析Ｈｇ在土壤和作物中的迁移转化的关系。结果表明,土壤和作物中的Ｈｇ含量有显著相关,尤以水稻对Ｈｇ的吸收富集最强,玉米和谷子次之,小麦和高梁较弱,对太原市农田生态系统中的Ｈｇ含量进行评价,得出土壤Ｈｇ有较微超标其含分别为水稻土〉高梁上〉玉米土〉谷子土〉小麦土,作物中Ｈｇ含量不超标。     

有机物料对土壤中外源镉形态与生物有效性的影响研究

盆栽试验研究稻草与紫云英对土壤中外源Cd形态及其生物有效性的影响结果表明 ,添加稻草与紫云英可降低水稻分蘖期潮土和红壤交换态镉含量 ,且二者在不同土壤的影响不同。 2种有机物料在水稻分蘖期固定作用并不稳定 ,随时间的推移 ,氧化锰结合态和紧有机质结合态吸附的镉将随紧有机质的分解和活性锰的还原被释放出来 ,并向交换态镉转化 ,提高Cd的生物有效性。水稻对外源Cd吸收与Cd在土壤中形态密切相关 ,水稻分蘖期稻草与紫云英均可抑制水稻根和茎叶对外源Cd的吸收 ,至成熟期水稻根、茎叶和糙米中Cd含量迅速增加 ,其根本原因是由于土壤中交换态镉含量提高和紧有机质结合态镉含量降低所致

Sediment denitrification in waterways in a rice-paddy-dominated watershed in eastern China

Purpose

Rice-paddy-dominated watersheds in eastern China are intensively cultivated, and lands with two crops receive as much as 550–600 kg?ha^–1?year^–1 of nitrogen (N), mainly through the addition of N-based fertilizers. However, stream N concentrations have been found to be relatively low. Waterways in the watersheds are assumed to be effective “sinks” for N, minimizing its downstream movement. We directly measured net sediment denitrification rates in three types of waterways (ponds, streams/rivers, and a reservoir) and determined the key factors that control net sediment denitrification. Such information is essential for evaluating the impact of the agricultural N cycle on the quality of surface water.

Materials and methods

The pond–stream–reservoir continuum was sampled every 2 months at nine sites in an agricultural watershed between November 2010 and December 2011. Net sediment N₂ fluxes/net sediment denitrification rates were determined by membrane inlet mass spectrometry and the N₂/Ar technique. A suite of parameters known to influence denitrification were also measured.

Results and discussion

Net denitrification rates ranged between 28.2?±?18.2 and 674.3?±?314.5 μmol N₂–N?m^–2?h^–1 for the streams, 23.7?±?23.9 and 121.2?±?38.7 μmol N₂–N?m^–2?h^–1 for the ponds, and 41.8?±?17.7 and 239.3?±?49.8 μmol N₂–N?m^–2?h^–1 for the reservoir. The mean net denitrification rate of the stream sites (173.2?±?248.4 μmol N₂–N?m^–2?h^–1) was significantly higher (p?<?0.001) than that of the pond sites (48.3?±?44.5 μmol N₂–N?m^–2?h^–1), and the three types of waterways all had significantly higher (p?<?0.01) mean net denitrification rates in summer than in other seasons. Linear regression and linear mixed effect model analysis showed that nitrate (NO₃ ^?–N) concentration in surface water was the primary controlling factor for net sediment denitrification, followed by water temperature. Using monitoring data on NO₃ ^?–N concentrations and temperature of the surface water of waterways and an established linear mixed effect model, total N removed through net sediment denitrification in the pond–stream–reservoir continuum was estimated at 46.8?±?24.0 t?year^–1 from July 2007 to June 2009, which was comparable with earlier estimates based on the mass balance method (34.3?±?12.7 t?year^–1), and accounted for 83.4 % of the total aquatic N. However, the total aquatic N was only 4.4 % of the total N input to the watershed, and thus most of the surplus N in the watershed was likely to be either denitrified or stored in soil.

Conclusions

High doses of N in a rice-paddy-dominated watershed did not lead to high stream N concentrations due to limited input of N into waterways and the high efficiency of waterways in removing N through denitrification.     

Trace metals in precipitation in Sweden

Trace metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) concentrations in atmospheric precipitation have been routinely monitored in Sweden since the autumn of 1983. Concentrations are highest in southern Sweden and decrease northward. It is postulated that the long range transport of anthropogenic pollutants from the rest of Europe is the major source of Cd, Pb, and Zn in precipitation. Evidence for this hypothesis is that enrichment factors indicate anthropogenic origin, and Swedish atmospheric emissions of Zn and Cd are 2 to 3 times smaller than deposition fluxes. Also, Cd, Pb, and Zn concentrations are correlated in both space and time and are also well correlated with exSO₄ ⁺, a substance known to be of anthropogenic origin transported long distances.

中国华北地区近40年物候春季变化

根据华北地区7个观测站物候资料,分析了华北地区1963-1996年及北京1963-2005年物候春季的变化特征及其与气温的关系。结果表明:华北地区的物候春季有明显提早来临的趋势,而造成这一变化的主要因素是本地区近40 a来冬春季气温的明显上升。其中1963-1996年间华北地区1-3月及4月的平均气温分别上升了2.3℃与1.7℃,物候春季起止日期分别提前了9d和4d,因而使得春季长度也延长了5d;北京1963-2003年间1-3月及4月的平均气温分别上升了3.5℃与2.6℃,物候春季的起止日期分别提前了11d和10d,但春季长度没有明显变化。     

Trends in soil science in Switzerland

Phytoremediation is an emerging technology based on the use of green plants to remove, contain, inactivate or destroy harmful environmental pollutants. Recent developments in Europe and the USA show that the approach is somewhat different on both sides of the Atlantic. In Europe, phytoremediation has more basically been research driven and, based on the outcomes, applications have been envisaged. By contrast, the approach in the USA is more application and experience driven. In spite of a growing track record of commercial success, more demonstration projects are needed to prove that phytoremediation is effective in order to rigorously measure its underlying economics, and to expand its applications. More fundamental research is also required to better understand the complex interactions between pollutants, soil, plant roots and micro-organisms at the rhizosphere level, to increase the bioavailability of pollutants, to fully exploit the metabolic diversity of plants and, thus, to successfully implement this new green technology.     

Longitudinal changes in dietary intake in Scottish women around the menopause: changes in dietary pattern result in minor changes in nutrient intake

Objective: To examine dietary change that has occurred over 5 to 6 years.Subjects: A cohort of Scottish women (n=898) with a mean age of 47.5 years (range 45-54 years) at baseline.Design: Dietary intake was assessed by validated food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and analysed using the UK Composition of Foods database.Results: Since the first dietary assessment, mean daily energy intake had decreased from 8.2+/-2.3 to 7.9+/-2.2 MJ. The degree of low energy reporting (defined as ratio of energy intake to basal metabolic rate <1.1) had increased from 18.7% at baseline to 25.6% at follow-up. Low energy reporters were significantly heavier than 'normal' energy reporters (mean weight at follow-up, 68.9+/-12.6 vs. 66.8+/-11.3 kg) and could be deliberately restricting intake rather than underreporting. Overall there were decreases in intakes of red meat, processed meat and cheese, but increases in poultry and non-oily fish consumption. Consumption of bread, biscuits and cakes had gone down and there was an increase in cereal and rice/pasta consumption. Intake of potatoes had decreased whereas fruit intake had increased. There were small but statistically significant differences in intakes for most nutrients (<8% change). Nutrient intakes at both visits were similar across menopausal status and usage groups of hormone replacement therapy. Modifications to the computer version of the McCance and Widdowson nutrient database, which differed from the published version, were noted. These changes altered the original baseline values for our study.Conclusions: The menopause per se is not a period of marked change in nutrient intake. Caution is advised when using computer databases of food compositions for longitudinal studies.     

Changes in proteolytic bacteria in paddy soils in response to organic management

Proteolytic bacterial communities, which mineralize organic nitrogen, play a key role in agricultural systems. In this study, alkaline metalloprotease (apr) gene fragments from proteolytic bacteria were investigated in bulk and rhizosphere paddy soil from four fields under organic management (for 2, 3, 5, and 9 years), and from one field under conventional management (for 2 years). We analyzed the abundance and structure of the proteolytic bacterial communities using real-time quantitative PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. Our results showed that the abundance of proteolytic bacteria ranged from 1.57?×?10⁸ to 8.02?×?10⁸?copies/g of soil. In addition, the abundance of the proteolytic bacteria in the paddy soils under organic management was significantly higher than those in the paddy soil under conventional management. Moreover, the gene copy numbers in the rhizosphere soils were significantly higher than those in the bulk soils. The abundance of proteolytic bacteria tended to increase with the duration of organic management, with the highest abundance being found in the soil that had been under organic management for 5 years. However, the proteolytic bacteria communities in the paddy soils were not significantly affected by management practices. Phylogeny analysis showed that all gel bands obtained represented genes from Pseudomonas. Additionally, correlation analysis and canonical correspondence analysis showed that C/N, C, and N were important factors that influenced the abundance and community structure of the proteolytic bacteria. These results suggest that proteolytic bacteria are indicators in organic management systems, depolymerize organic N and hence maintain soil sustainability.
