An assessment of subsoil organic carbon stocks in England and Wales

It is estimated that half the soil carbon globally is in the subsoil, but data are scarce. We updated estimates of subsoil organic carbon (OC) in England and Wales made by Bradley et al. (2005) using soil and land‐use databases and compared the results with other published data. We estimated that the soils of England and Wales contained 1633, 1143 and 506 Tg of OC at 0–30, 30–100 and 100–150 cm depths, respectively. Thus, half of the soil OC was found below 30 cm depth. Peat soils accounted for the largest proportion, containing 44% of all the OC below 30 cm despite their small areal extent, followed by brown soils, surface‐water gley soils, ground‐water gley soils and podzolic soils. Peat soils had more than 25% of their profile OC per unit area in the 100–150 cm depth, whereas most other soils had <8% at this depth. The differences between soil types were consistent with differences in soil formation processes. Differences in depth distributions between land uses were small, but subsoil OC stocks in cultivated soils were generally smaller than in soils under grassland or other land uses. Data on subsoil OC stocks in the literature were scarce, but what there was broadly agreed with the findings of the above database exercise. There was little evidence by which to assess how subsoil OC stocks were changing over time.     

Soil protection for a sustainable future: options for a soil monitoring network for Ireland

The increased recognition of the importance of soil is reflected in the UN Post‐2015 Development Agenda with sustainable development goals that directly and indirectly relate to soil quality and protection. Despite a lack of legally binding legislation for soil protection, the European Commission remains committed to the objective of soil protection. However, the achievement of a legally binding framework for soil protection relies on the implementation of a soil monitoring network (SMN) that can detect changes to soil quality over time. As beneficiaries do not pay for the provision of soil information, the options for soil monitoring are limited. The use of existing data sets should be considered first. Using Ireland as an example, this research explored the opportunities for a SMN for Ireland considering three existing national data sets. The options for a SMN are considered in terms of their spatial and stratified distribution, the parameters to be measured and an economic analysis of the options proposed. This research finds that for Ireland, either a 10 or a 16 km² grid interval stratified by land use and drainage class offers the best potential in relation to the spatial distribution of existing data sets to reflect local data at a national level. With existing data, the stratified SIS data using the 16 km² grid offers the best value for money, with baseline costs for analysis, excluding field costs, of between €706 481 and €2.8 million. Acknowledging the impossibility of measuring all parameters with ideal frequency, this study proposes a two‐tier system for optimized monitoring frequency. Parameters must anticipate future policy requirements. Finally, the implementation of a SMN must be accompanied by standardized methods, defined thresholds and action mandates to maintain soil quality within allowable limits.     

基于CA-Markov模型的锡林河流域土地利用变化及预测分析

研究土地利用变化特征及预测未来土地利用变化的趋势，对经济平衡发展、提高生态环境质量、实现土地资源合理利用具有重要意义。以锡林河流域为研究区，对Landsat 2000、2005、2010年和2015年4期遥感数据进行目视解译，采用土地利用结构分析方法、重心迁移模型和CA-Markov模型，分析研究区16 a间土地利用演变特征，并对2030年土地利用情况进行预测。结果表明:1)2000-2015年，草地、林地和耕地呈波动变化，水域面积缓慢增加，建设用地不断扩张，未利用地面积在不断减少。建设用地、耕地和未利用地重心具有明显的方向性移动，耕地先向南后向北移动，建设用地主要向西北方向扩张，未利用土地重心持续向北移动。2)研究区综合土地利用动态度为5.70％，变化速率较快；锡林浩特市和各苏木土地利用变化速率差异较大，总体表现为中游＞下游＞上游；不同土地利用类型动态度为建设用地＞水域＞林地＞耕地＞未利用土地＞草地，即建设用地变化最快。3)研究区土地利用变化的主要方向为草地和未利用地的相互转换、耕地和草地的互相转换以及建设用地的不断扩张。4)2030年预测结果表明，耕地面积继续增加，速率有所下降，重心向西南方向移动；林地延续之前变化趋势，稳中有升；草地和未利用地面积继续减少，且未利用地重心持续向北移动；建设用地扩张明显，重心向锡林浩特市中心移动，速度减缓；水域有少量增加。CA-Markov模型与土地利用重心迁移模型相结合，实现了对未来耕地、建设用地和未利用土地的迁移方向的预测，可以为研究区提高草地退化防治效果、土地管理政策的制定和实施、城乡建设、土地利用规划等提供理论指导。     

生物炭对黑土区坡耕地土地生产力的可持续效应研究

为探究一次性施加生物炭后对黑土区坡耕地生产力的可持续效应,以东北黑土区3°坡耕地径流小区为研究对象,设置CK(不施用生物炭)和BC(2016年施用75 t/hm~2生物炭,2017、2018年不再施用生物炭)两个处理,于2016—2018年开展了试验研究。结果表明:一次性施入生物炭3年内,土壤容重显著降低(P0.05),第1年降低最明显,为3.87%,孔隙度和总有机碳、铵态N、有效P、速效K含量显著提高(P0.05),p H值则是施炭后前两年显著提高(P_(2016)=0.034、P_(2017)=0.038),分别提高了0.9、0.6,第3年与未施炭处理无显著差异(P_(2018)=0.067);施用生物炭显著提升了土壤的持水能力和保水保土性能,土壤饱和含水率、田间持水率、凋萎系数均显著提高(P0.05),最大增长率分别为5.58%、4.78%、7.29%,年径流深和土壤侵蚀量显著降低(P0.05),年径流深最大减少量为4.92 mm,土壤侵蚀量最大减小率为5.71%;大豆产量和水分利用效率显著提高(P0.05),最大增长率分别为29.01%、16.92%。但生物炭对土地生产力的持续效应逐年减弱,随着生物炭施用年限的延长,BC处理土壤容重线性递增,p H值和总有机碳含量呈幂函数递减,孔隙度和铵态N、有效P、速效K含量线性递减,饱和含水率、田间持水率、凋萎系数线性递减,年径流深和土壤侵蚀量线性递增,大豆产量和水分利用效率分别呈幂函数递减和线性递减。采用改进的TOPSIS(Technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution)模型和GM(1,1)模型测算并预测土地生产力指数,结果显示,BC处理的土地生产力指数均高于CK处理,但其值逐年下降,预计到2021年与CK处理十分接近,表明一次性施用75 t/hm~2生物炭对土地生产力的影响可持续5～6年。研究结果可为东北黑土区生物炭应用提供理论依据。

Phosphorus fractions and dynamics as affected by land-use changes in the Central Mexican highlands

Land-use change from forest to agriculture in the volcanic ash-derived soils of Mexico has increased over recent decades. It is likely that land uses and management practices, particularly fertilizer use have affected phosphorus (P) distribution and availability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of land-use types (native forest and maize mono-cropping), and the related P addition, on the forms and distribution of soil P and their isotopic exchangeability. An Andisol, sampled from a cropping site, along with the contiguous area under native forest was treated with ³²P-labelled potassium phosphate (KH₂³²PO₄). The soil samples were extracted after incubation times of 7, 21, 35 and 49 days. Phosphorus content and ³²P recovery in fractions sequentially extracted were assessed for each incubation time. Total soil P was dominated by inorganic fractions (79 to 86%) in both land-use types. Resin-Pi, bicarbonate extractable inorganic P (Bic-Pi) and sodium hydroxide extractable inorganic P (NaOH_0.1-Pi) were all raised with P addition. However, the proportion of organic P fraction was reduced under cropped soil. The recovery of ³²P in soils with P addition indicates that resin-Pi, Bic-Pi and NaOH_0.1-Pi comprised nearly all the exchangeable P. In native soils with no P addition, more than 19% of the ³²P was recovered in Bic-Po and NaOH_0.1-Po forms. This finding indicates that organic P cycling is crucial when soil Pi reserves are presented in an inadequate amount. Ecologically based management has to be designed for replenishment and succeeding maintenance of soil organic P compounds to increase sustainable agricultural production.
