0～50 cm与0～100 cm土层土壤湿度的转换关系研究

对郑州、南阳2个测点多年来0～100cm土壤湿度、降水(灌溉)及作物发育期资料进行了分析。结果表明,按土壤湿度随时间的变化规律,可将其划分为秋季缓慢下降期、冬季相对稳定期、春季迅速下降期和夏季增墒期4个时段。对0～50cm与0～100cm土层土壤湿度进行回归分析,当前期降水量在10mm以下时,用直线或二次曲线拟合效果良好;当前期降水(灌溉)量大于10mm时,0～50cm与0～100cm土壤湿度之比与前期降水(灌溉)量呈双曲线或二次曲线关系,拟合曲线考虑降水(灌溉)时回归效果有所提高。同一土壤类型、不同时段,或同一时段、不同的土壤类型,拟合的方程不同,反映出不同层次土壤湿度关系的复杂性。

Effect of dietary moisture and sodium content on urine composition and calcium oxalate relative supersaturation in healthy miniature schnauzers and labrador retrievers

The aim of this series of studies was to evaluate two possible feeding strategies as methods for reducing the risk of calcium oxalate (CaOx) formation in two breeds of healthy dog. The studies compared the effect of dietary moisture (Study 1) and dietary sodium (Na), (Study 2) on urine composition of labrador retrievers (LR) and miniature schnauzers (MS). A nutritionally complete dry dog food was fed to 16 dogs (eight LR, eight MS; Study 1) and 15 dogs (seven LR, eight MS; Study 2) for 24 days (Study 1), or 36 days (Study 2). The dogs were fed the diet alone (7% moisture, 0.06 g Na/100 kcal), or supplemented with deionised water to 73% moisture (Study 1), or dietary Na, to deliver 0.20 or 0.30 g Na per 100 kcal (Study 2). Urine pH, volume, specific gravity, and concentrations of 12 analytes were measured for each dog. Urinary relative supersaturations (RSS) with CaOx were calculated from these values. The effects of supplemental Na or water were established using t tests (Study 1) or analysis of variance, and multiple range tests (least significant difference) (Study 2); P<0.05 was considered significant. Increasing dietary moisture significantly increased total moisture intake (P=0.001), and reduced urine specific gravity (P=0.003), urinary oxalate concentration (P=0.04), and CaOx relative supersaturation (P=0.04) in the MS. Urinary parameters remained unchanged in the LR, indicating that feeding a high moisture diet may reduce the risk of CaOx formation in high-risk breeds. Increasing dietary Na led to production of urine with a significantly lower CaOx RSS in both breeds, indicating that sodium supplementation to dry diet formats may reduce the risk of CaOx formation. These feeding strategies should be considered when evaluating methods for preventing CaOx formation within high-risk groups.     

Impact of controlled fermentation and steeping of high moisture corn on its nutritional value for pigs

High moisture corn (HMC) can undergo fermentation during storage that may improve its nutritional value for pigs. Stored HMC used in this study contained (n = 4) 75% dry matter (DM), and, on a DM basis, 63.8% starch, 0.5% mono and disaccharides, 9.9% protein, 19 mM acetic acid, 18 mM lactic acid (LA), 1.25 × 10⁷ cfu g^− 1 of LA producing bacteria, 2.88 g kg^− 1 total phosphorus (P), and 1.26 g kg^− 1 soluble P. The soluble P content was higher than in freshly harvested HMC (0.27 g kg^− 1 DM) and indicates P release during storage. Studies were aimed at altering the nutritional value of stored HMC by controlled fermentation or steeping. Changes in LA content were not affected (P > 0.05) by addition of exogenous Lactobacillus and Bacillus bacteria. Steeping of HMC with phytase (Ronozyme) was examined at four inclusion levels (0, 500, 750, 1000 FTU kg^− 1) and at either 21 °C or 37 °C. At 37 °C added phytase released virtually all phytate P within 6 h irrespective of the level (levels increased by 1.44 g P kg^− 1 DM); at 21 °C, the increase was maximized at 1.2 g P kg^− 1 DM after 24 h. The feeding value of HMC for pigs can be altered by steeping with exogenous phytase and does not appear to require microbial inoculants.     

西安地区丰水年农田深层土壤含水量研究

通过对西安南郊吴家坟、长安区郭杜镇大学城和双竹村附近丰水年(年降雨量883 mm)麦地、玉米地土壤含水量的测定,以及与正常年份该地土壤含水量的对比,研究丰水年该地区农田0~6 m土壤含水量的变化。结果显示,正常年份西安地区麦地0~2 m土层含水量高于12%,2~6 m土层含水量高于13%;丰水年西安地区麦地0~2 m的土壤含水量在18%以上,2~6 m土层含水量达24%以上,远远高于正常年份这一层位的土壤含水量。分析得出,西安地区农田深层土壤含水量高的主要原因是重力水带分布范围大于或等于农作物的强烈耗水层范围。

晋西黄土区主要造林树种耗水量测算与分析

依据水量平衡原理,采用盆栽试验分别测算了晋西黄土区主要造林树种侧柏、刺槐、杏树和梨树在其生长季(4～10月)成熟单株树木的耗水量,并根据林地土壤水分动态及土壤水分特征曲线标定的各树种无效水界值,分析了各树种土壤水分供耗特点及其有效性.结果表明:①2002贫水年生长季降水量430.7 mm,试验树种同期耗水量约为430～470 mm,树木供耗失衡;2003丰水年降水量870.2 mm,耗水量约为450～510 mm,但降雨分配不均,5月和10月树木供耗也略有失衡.②不同树种年内土壤含水量变化趋势相近,而同月耗水量差异较大,同一树种不同月耗水量差异也较大,丰水年各试验地土壤水分状况要好于贫水年.③侧柏、刺槐、杏树和梨树无效水界值为8.0%,8.4%,9.4%和10.9%,侧柏较其它树种利用水分能力最强.贫水年林外单株树木土壤含水量在一段时间内低于对应树种的无效水界值,影响树木正常生长.单株树木依靠冬季和次年春季降水补充,生长季初期都能恢复到速效水水平.

Simulated rain addition modifies diurnal patterns and temperature sensitivities of autotrophic and heterotrophic soil respiration in an arid desert ecosystem

The timing and magnitude of rainfall events in arid and semiarid regions are expected to change dramatically in future decades, which will likely greatly affect regional carbon cycles. To understand how increases in rainfall affect the diurnal patterns and temperature sensitivities (Q₁₀) of soil respiration (R_S) and its key components (i.e. heterotrophic respiration (R_H) and autotrophic respiration (R_A)), we conducted a manipulative field experiment in a desert ecosystem of Northwest China. We simulated five different scenarios of future rain regimes (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% increase over local annual mean precipitation) each month from May to September in 2009. We measured R_S and R_H every three hours on 6 and 16 days after the rain addition, and estimated R_A by calculating the difference between R_S and R_H. We found that rain addition significantly increased the daily mean R_S and its components on the two measurement days during the growing season. However, the diurnal pattern was different between the two respiration components. Rain addition significantly increased the daily Q₁₀ value of R_H but suppressed that of R_A on Day 6. Rain addition had no influence on daily Q₁₀ value of both respiration components on Day 16 when soil moisture was lower. In addition, we observed significantly higher daily Q₁₀ of R_H than R_A under all five rain addition treatments, indicating that microbial respiration is more temperature sensitive than root respiration in a short-time scale in this desert ecosystem. Thus, partitioning soil respiration into its two components, and analyzing the differential responses of R_H and R_A to future climate changes should be considered for more accurate predictions of soil respiration and regional carbon cycle in these arid and semiarid regions.
