长期少免耕对中国东北玉米农田土壤呼吸及碳氮变化的影响

在黑土区37年不同耕作模式定位试验田，采用原位法比较常规旋耕灭茬起垄（CT）、旋耕留高茬行间深松-少耕（RT）、免耕（NT）和深翻（PT）4种耕作模式土壤呼吸速率及其与土壤温度和湿度的关系，测定土壤总碳氮、无机氮，微生物碳氮的变化。结果表明，玉米生育期间土壤呼吸呈单峰变化，开花期达最大值，生长季平均呼吸速率依次为RT > NT > CT > PT。4个处理土壤温度与土壤呼吸速率间存在显著指数关系。不同耕作模式0~10 cm土壤温度可解释土壤呼吸速率变异的38.3%~67.9%，温度敏感性系数Q10范围为2.1~5.3；RT和NT处理显著提高0~20 cm土壤碳氮含量；RT处理在0~20 cm土壤中微生物碳含量均高于CT、NT和PT处理。RT处理土壤呼吸对温度响应提高，RT和NT处理显著增加上层土壤总碳氮含量，利于土壤质量提升。     

氮、磷添加对不同种植密度樟树幼苗碳储量及其分配的影响

【目的】对氮(N)、磷(P)添加条件下4种种植密度的樟树Cinnamomum camphora幼苗各器官碳(C)含量、储量和分配比例进行研究,以期为氮沉降和磷添加背景下森林碳储量分配格局的变化提供参考。【方法】以1年生樟树幼苗为试验材料,选择氯化铵(NH4Cl)作为氮肥模拟氮沉降,以二水合磷酸二氢钠(NaH_2PO_4·2H_2O)作为磷添加,设置4个水平:不加N和P(对照,CK),加N,加P,加N和P(N+P)。N、P及N+P每年的添加量分别为NH4Cl40 g·m-2、NaH_2PO_4·2H2O 20 g·m~(-2)和NH4Cl 40 g·m~(-2)+NaH_2PO_4·2H_2O 20 g·m~(-2);种植密度设置4个水平,即10、20、40和80株·m-2。【结果】各氮、磷添加和密度处理下幼苗的根、茎和枝的C含量基本上差异不显著,而添加N和N+P能够促使樟树幼苗叶的C含量上升。随着种植密度的增大,樟树幼苗叶片C含量表现出下降的趋势;N、P添加处理基本上能够促进幼苗单株C储量和单位面积C储量的增加;随着种植密度的增大,单株幼苗C储量呈现下降的趋势。【结论】樟树幼苗叶的单株C储量和单位面积C储量分配比例随着种植密度的增大逐渐减小。高密度种植有利于茎的分配比例增加。N+P添加处理对幼苗C储量的促进效果大于单一N或P添加处理。

火干扰对喀纳斯泰加林土壤有机碳的影响

为了研究不同火干扰烈度对喀纳斯泰加林土壤有机碳含量及碳储量的影响,以喀纳斯泰加林同一火烧时间不同火干扰烈度的火烧迹地为研究对象,对不同土层(0~10 cm,10~25 cm)有机碳含量进行测定并估算其碳储量,采用单因素方差分析及LSD多重比较进行差异显著性分析。结果表明,相同火干扰烈度下0~10 cm土层土壤有机碳及碳储量均大于10~25 cm土层。0~10 cm土层中碳储量表现为：未火烧>轻度火干扰>中度火干扰>重度火干扰,在10~25 cm土层中碳储量表现为：轻度火干扰>中度火干扰>未火烧>重度火干扰。0~10 cm土层的土壤有机碳含量和碳储量以及10~25 cm土层的有机碳含量损失程度会随着火干扰烈度的增加而增加。10~25 cm土层碳储量会在轻度和中度火干扰后出现增加。     

北方草地及农牧交错区草地植被碳储量及其影响因素

【目的】 草地生态系统在全球碳平衡中有重要的意义,草地植被碳库及其变化机制研究是植被生态学的重要命题。本文研究北方草地和农牧交错区草地植被碳密度及其空间格局,解析不同区域草地植被碳密度的关键影响因素,分析了气候、土壤、放牧等因素对地上地下植被碳库的相对贡献。【方法】 基于2002—2009年北方草地及农牧交错带草地植被调查数据,结合同期MODIS/NDVI遥感影像和1﹕100万草地类型图,建立了我国主要草地类型的生物量估算模型;整合野外考察数据和前人研究结果,探讨了研究区地上地下生物碳库及其空间格局;基于研究区255个县级行政单元,分析了不同类型草地植被碳库与气候要素、土壤要素及家畜承载量的关系,应用一般线性模型（GLM）解析了不同影响因素对草地碳密度的相对贡献。【结果】 （1）北方草地与农牧交错区草地地上平均生物碳密度为36.9 g C·m^-2,地下生物碳密度为362.9 g C·m^-2,地下生物碳密度高于地上10倍,均呈从东到西递减的趋势,频率分布图基本服从对数正态分布,不同草地类型的生物碳密度存在明显差异;（2）整个研究区及草原亚区、荒漠亚区、农牧交错亚区内,地上生物量与年降水量（MAP）呈极显著正相关、与年均气温（MAT）均呈极显著负相关,与土壤黏粒含量（Clay%）呈显著正相关、与土壤砂粒含量（Sand%）呈显著负相关,整个研究区家畜承载量与草地地上生物量之间呈极显著正相关;（3）一般线性模型（GLM）分析结果表明,年平均降水量（MAP）、年均气温（MAT）、土壤黏粒含量（Clay%）、放牧强度对地上生物量空间变异的解释率分别达到29.6%（P<0.001）、5.8%（P<0.001）、0.8%（P<0.05）、1.3%（P<0.001）;地下生物量的空间变异主要来自于年降水量（MAP）、年均气温（MAT）、土壤砂粒含量（Sand%）,对方差的解释率分别达到12.1%（P<0.001）、6.8%（P<0.001）、1.9%（P<0.005）,放牧强度没有明显贡献。【结论】 气候条件尤其是年降水量是草地生物量碳库的主要影响因素,但对地上生物量影响更为明显;土壤质地对植被生物碳库也有显著贡献,尤其对地下生物量的影响更加显著;放牧强度只能解释地上生物量变化的1.3%、对地下生物量没有显著贡献,这一发现意味着气候对生物量碳库的贡献远大于放牧影响。     

Soil organic carbon fractions and humic substances are affected by land uses of Caatinga forest in Brazil

Caatinga is a Brazilian dry ecosystem that occupies around 1 million km² and is one of the largest tropical dry forests of the world. About 46% of the area that was originally covered has been deforested. Land use can cause pronounced reduction in soil carbon stocks that play a major role in the global carbon cycle. The objective of this study was to improve our understanding of the effect of land use on oxidizable carbon fractions, total carbon stocks and humic substances in different layers of soil in a Brazilian semi-arid region. We analyzed soils from tropical dry forest (TDF), forest succession with Anadenanthera falcata (ANA), with Tabebuia alba (TAB), secondary scrubby regeneration (SCR), and non-irrigated maize (MS). Forests showed larger fractions of more labile carbon, except for TDF. The most recalcitrant fraction of carbon stock, humin fraction stock, with the different land use decreased by 38–53% compared to TDF. Oxidizable carbon fractions, carbon stocks, and humic fraction stocks were able to differentiate the successional land uses and agricultural cover from TDF, mainly in the 0–5?cm layer. Our results show that changes in land use, especially with ANA forest succession, showed a larger labile carbon fraction, indicating easy decomposition and loss. Our results provide an alternative tool for the management of deforested areas in tropical dry caatinga ecosystems. This would contribute to the conservation of dry forest systems and could serve as guideline for sustainable management of agriculturally impacted caatinga areas.     

Effects of different tillage and straw retention practices on soil aggregates and carbon and nitrogen sequestration in soils of the northwestern China

Soil tillage and straw retention in dryland areas may affect the soil aggregates and the distribution of total organic carbon. The aims of this study were to establish how different tillage and straw retention practices affect the soil aggregates and soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents in the aggregate fractions based on a long-term (approximately 15 years) field experimentin the semi-arid western Loess Plateau, northwestern China. The experiment included four soil treatments, i.e., conventional tillage with straw removed (T), conventional tillage with straw incorporated (TS), no tillage with straw removed (NT) and no tillage with straw retention (NTS), which were arranged in a complete randomized block design. The wet-sieving method was used to separate four size fractions of aggregates, namely, large macroaggregates (LA, >2000 μm), small macroaggregates (SA, 250-2000 μm), microaggregates (MA, 53-250 μm), and silt and clay (SC, <53 μm). Compared to the conventional tillage practices (including T and TS treatments), the percentages of the macroaggregate fractions (LA and SA) under the conservation tillage practices (including NT and NTS treatments) were increased by 41.2%-56.6%, with the NTS treatment having the greatest effect. For soil layers of 0-5, 5-10 and 10-30 cm, values of the mean weight diameter (MWD) under the TS and NTS treatments were 10.68%, 13.83% and 17.65%, respectively. They were 18.45%, 19.15% and 14.12% higher than those under the T treatment, respectively. The maximum contents of the aggregate-associated SOC and TN were detected in the SA fraction, with the greatest effect being observed for the NTS treatment. The SOC and TN contents were significantly higher under the NTS and TS treatments than under the T treatment. Also, the increases in SOC and TN levels were much higher in the straw-retention plots than in the straw-removed plots. The macroaggregates (including LA and SA fractions) were the major pools for SOC and TN, regardless of tillage practices, storing 3.25-6.81 g C/kg soil and 0.34-0.62 g N/kg soil. Based on the above results, we recommend the NTS treatment as the best option to boost soil aggregates and to reinforce carbon and nitrogen sequestration in soils in the semi-arid western Loess Plateau of northwestern China.     

免耕对土壤微生物量碳影响的Meta分析

为综合分析免耕(NT)对土壤微生物碳含量的影响程度,以常规耕作(CT)为对照,收集国内外关于免耕对土壤微生物碳研究已公开发表的41篇文献的田间试验数据162组,采用Meta数据整合分析方法,定量分析中国不同区域、气候类型和试验年限下,免耕对于中国农田土壤微生物碳含量的影响。结果表明,与常规耕作相比,免耕能显著提高土壤微生物碳的含量,免耕-常规耕作(NT-CT)的加权均数差值(WMD)为49.29 mg·kg^-1;免耕对土壤中微生物碳含量的影响存在区域差异性,西南地区WMD最大,湿润区(年降雨量>800 mm)免耕对土壤微生物碳含量的正效应最显著;年均温度10~15℃和年均温度>15℃时,免耕土壤中微生物碳含量显著高于常规耕作,且随着温度的升高而增加;免耕年限能够显著影响土壤微生物碳含量,以长期免耕(免耕年限≥8 a)效果最佳。综上,免耕对土壤微生物碳的增加效应存在区域特征,以西南地区最高,随着区域水热条件、免耕年限的不同有所差异,免耕措施的采用应该根据区域特点因地制宜。本研究结果为免耕的区域性合理利用提供了参考依据。     

Calcium silicate slag reduces drought stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Silicon has been reported to reduce drought stress on many crops, but limited studies have evaluated this effect with rice using calcium silicate slag from the phosphorus fertilizer industry as a source of Si. A greenhouse study was performed to address this issue. Four slag rates (0, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 mg/kg) and two application methods (surface application and incorporation) were evaluated under two moisture regimes (flood and 50% field capacity) for drought stress mitigation in a mineral soil that is typical for rice production. Slag application significantly elevated plant‐available Si in the soil and Si accumulation in plant tissues, and tended to improve rice shoot and root biomass relative to the untreated control under both flooding and drought stress. Increased carbon isotope discrimination (△¹³C) and decreased proline in rice leaves subjected to drought stress indicate that this slag may reduce drought stress in rice, which was supported by restoration of foliage density, transpiration, photosynthesis rate and sugar accumulation to at or near flooded levels following the highest slag application. This study supports the usage of calcium silicate slag in rice production as it could improve Si availability and reduce drought stress.
