Effects of climate factors and soil properties on soil nutrients and elemental stoichiometry across the Huang–Huai–Hai River Basin,China

Purpose

Soil nutrients, elemental stoichiometry, and their associated environmental control play important roles in nutrient cycling. The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate soil nutrients and elemental stoichiometry, especially potassium and its associative elemental stoichiometry with other nutrients under different land uses in terrestrial ecosystems; (2) to discuss the impacts of climate factors, soil texture, and soil physicochemical properties; and (3) to identify the key factors on soil nutrient levels and elemental stoichiometry.

Materials and methods

Soil data, including pH, bulk density (BD), cation exchange capacity (CEC), volumetric water content (VMC), clay, silt and sand contents, total carbon (TC), nitrogen (TN), phosphorous (TP) and potassium (TK), available nitrogen (AN), phosphorus (AP), potassium (AK), and soil organic matter (SOM) under different land-use types, were collected, and their elemental stoichiometry ratios were calculated. Climate data including temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed, and evapotranspiration were collected. The least significant difference test and one-way analysis of variance were applied to investigate the variability of soil nutrients and elemental stoichiometry among land-use types; the ordinary least squares method and the general linear model were used to illustrate the correlations between soil nutrients, elemental stoichiometry, and soil properties or climate factors and to identify the key influencing factors.

Results and discussion

Woodlands had the highest SOM, TN, AN, and AK contents, followed by grasslands, croplands, and shrublands, while the TP and TK contents only varied slightly among land-use types. SOM, TN, AN, N/P, and N/K were strongly negatively correlated to soil pH (p <?0.05) and were strongly positively correlated to soil CEC (p <?0.05). For soil texture, only C/N was moderately negatively correlated to silt content but moderately positively correlated to sand content (p <?0.05). For climate factors, SOM, TN, AN, N/P, and N/K were significantly negatively correlated to evapotranspiration and temperature (p <?0.05), and the correlations were usually moderate. Soil pH explained most of the total variation in soil nutrients, and climate factors explained 5.64–28.16% of soil nutrients and elemental stoichiometry (except for AP (0.0%) and TK (68.35%)).

Conclusions

The results suggest that climate factors and soil properties both affect soil nutrients and elemental stoichiometry, and soil properties generally contribute more than climate factors to soil nutrient levels. The findings will help to improve our knowledge of nutrient flux responses to climate change while also assisting in developing management measures related to soil nutrients under conditions of climate change.

     

Mechanisms behind soil N dynamics following cover restoration in degraded land in subtropical China

Purpose

Nitrogen (N) is an important nutrient for re-vegetation during ecosystem restoration, but the effects of cover restoration on soil N transformations are not fully understood. This study was conducted to investigate N transformations in soils with different cover restoration ages in Eastern China.

Materials and methods

Soil samples were collected from four degraded and subsequently restored lands with restoration ages of 7, 17, 23, and 35 years along with an adjacent control of degraded land. A ¹⁵N tracing technique was used to quantify gross N transformation rates.

Results and discussion

Compared with degraded land, soil organic carbon (SOC) and total N (TN) increased by 1.60–3.97 and 2.49–5.36 times in restoration land. Cover restoration increased ammonium and nitrate immobilization, and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) by 0.56–0.96, 0.34–2.10, and 0.79–3.45 times, respectively, indicating that restoration was beneficial for N retention. There were positive correlations between SOC content and ammonium and nitrate immobilization and DNRA, indicating that the increase in soil N retention capacity may be ascribed to increasing SOC concentrations. The stimulating effect of SOC on ammonium immobilization was greater than its effect on organic N mineralization, so while SOC and TN increased, inorganic N supply did not increase. Autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrification increased with increasing SOC and TN concentrations. Notably, heterotrophic nitrification was an important source of NO₃^??N production, accounting for 47–67% of NO₃^??N production among all restoration ages.

Conclusions

The capacity of N retention was improved by cover restoration, leading to an increase in soil organic carbon and total N over time, but inorganic N supply capacity did not change with cover restoration age.

为探明北方地区常见蔬菜中Cd的健康风险，以北京地区Cd污染的大棚菜地土壤为对象，利用盆栽实验测定了韭菜和小油菜对Cd的吸收、转运特征及2种修复剂（沸石+蚯蚓粪，凹凸棒+蚯蚓粪）对Cd污染土壤的修复效果，基于体外模拟法和人体健康风险评价方法对污染土壤修复前、后的2种蔬菜中Cd的有效性及人体健康风险进行评价。结果表明，污染土壤上的2种蔬菜中Cd含量均超过《食品安全国家标准食品中污染物限量》，但2种蔬菜对Cd的吸收具有显著差异，小油菜中Cd的含量为韭菜的2.04倍；体外模拟法测定结果表明，韭菜和小油菜中Cd在模拟人体胃液中的有效浓度分别为0.027、0.039 mg·kg^-1，韭菜中的Cd对人体具有更高的生物有效性；基于人体健康风险评价方法对2种蔬菜中Cd进行健康风险评价，结果表明，污染土壤上种植的2种蔬菜中Cd对人体具有较高的致癌风险，其中，对0~6岁儿童的致癌风险大于成人（>18岁）的风险；添加修复剂可使韭菜和小油菜中Cd含量最大分别降低65.2%和72.3%；2种修复剂处理的韭菜与小油菜中Cd的生物有效性和致癌风险值显著下降，其中凹凸棒+蚯蚓粪处理土壤的2种蔬菜中Cd的致癌风险值接近安全水平。     

应力波在落叶松活立木中传播影响因素数值模拟

探究应力波在落叶松活立木中传播的影响因素,有助于研究应力波在人工林活立木中的传播机理。依据固体介质中的应力波传播理论和弹性力学理论,将活立木看作只由心材层和边材层组成的两层结构材料,基于活立木的正交各向异性假定,利用COMSOL Multiphysics多物理场仿真软件对应力波在活立木中的传播进行了模拟计算,并研究了敲击载荷频率、活立木胸径和心材比对应力波传播的影响。结果表明,应力波波速随着载荷脉冲频率的增大而减小;对于胸径为10 cm的活立木模型,当传播距离达到1. 2 m时,应力波波阵面已经转换为一维平面波,而对于胸径超过30 cm的活立木模型,应力波在0～1. 2 m传播距离内是以三维膨胀波的形式传播;活立木胸径对应力波的传播速度有影响,当胸径小于10 cm时,波速较小且基本没有发生变化,当胸径从10 cm增加到40 cm时,应力波的波速随着活立木胸径的增加而增加,而当胸径超过40 cm时,波速略微增加后保持相对稳定;应力波在活立木中的波速随着心材比的增大而减小。胸径对应力波在活立木中的传播形式以及波阵面形状有影响,而敲击载荷频率和心材比对应力波在活立木中的传播形式以及波阵面形状没有影响,但三者都会对应力波的传播速度产生影响,数值模拟最佳的敲击载荷频率为2. 5 kHz,应力波在活立木中的传播速度不只取决于边材的力学性能,而是受到心材和边材的共同影响。     

内冷油腔振荡冷却仿真方法研究

为了得出一种较为通用的活塞内冷油腔仿真分析方法,采用数值仿真研究方法,从湍流模型、多相流模型、压力速度耦合算法以及油腔几何模型进行油腔CFD仿真分析方法的研究。通过对比分析仿真所得的平均机油填充率、机油分布、壁面平均换热系数和换热系数分布,得出在进行活塞油腔CFD模拟时,标准k-ε湍流模型可以更为经济地进行流动传热计算。可保证计算模拟精度的多相流模型CLSVOF计算结果周期间变化更小,计算结果稳定。活塞油腔瞬态仿真计算时,压力速度耦合算法PISO计算得出的流动换热结果精度更高,收敛速度和达到计算稳定的速度更快,模拟所得流动传热情况更接近实际。全油腔模型模拟效果相对于简化模型效果更好。通过对油腔各壁面区域换热系数随曲轴转角变化的分析得出:振荡过程极大增强了顶面和底面的换热,油腔内壁面中顶部壁面周期平均换热系数最大;底部壁面换热系数变化趋势与顶部壁面变化趋势基本相反,这是由机油分布以及振荡规律决定的;由于侧部壁面未收到机油强烈的冲击,换热系数随曲轴转角变化相对较平缓。     

利用SSR技术快速鉴定2个辣椒杂交品种纯度

利用SSR分子标记技术,对辣椒杂交种甘科4号和甘科10号及其父母本进行引物筛选和纯度鉴定,旨在建立供试品种的高效纯度鉴定体系,并对公布的辣椒SSR核心引物进行验证。结果表明,2个品种各筛选出1对引物在亲本间有明显差异,在杂交种中表现为共显性,分别为Es330和Epms923。利用这2对引物分别对供试品种进行纯度鉴定,甘科4号的纯度为96.4%,与田间种植鉴定纯度98.2%相差1.8百分点;甘科10号的纯度为91.8%,与田间种植鉴定纯度92.7%相差0.9百分点。说明筛选出的2对引物对甘科4号和甘科10号种子纯度的鉴定结果真实可靠,可以用于杂交种纯度的高效快速鉴定。     

小麦持久条锈病抗源品种89144(BJ144)芒性状遗传分析

分别以小麦持久条锈病抗源品种89144-2-3-11-2、89144-2-14-4-1-2为父本，感病小麦品种铭贤169为母本进行常规杂交，F1代种子单粒播种，在F2代成株期进行芒的分离遗传分析。结果表明，供试顶芒品系和全芒小麦杂交后，2组合F2代群体芒的性状分离均符合1∶2的理论比例，全芒对顶芒均为显性，且全芒受1对显性基因的控制。这是否说明小麦芒性或顶芒还存在隐性性状的可能，抑或与该小麦材料是外源DNA导入小麦的变异后代有关，需要进一步研究。
