秸秆还田对灌溉玉米田土壤反硝化及N2O排放的影响

运用乙炔抑制技术研究了不同施氮水平下秸秆还田对灌溉玉米田土壤反硝化反应和氧化亚氮(N2O)排放的影响。结果表明,土壤反硝化速率及N2O的排放受氮肥施用、秸秆处理方式及其交互作用的显著影响。与秸秆燃烧相比,不施氮或低施氮水平时,秸秆还田可刺激培养初期反硝化反应速率及N2O排放,增加培养期间N2O平均排放通量;高施氮水平时,秸秆还田可降低反硝化反应速率及反硝化过程中的N2O排放。秸秆还田可降低反硝化中N2O/N2的比例。     

Intersite characterization and variability of soil respiration in different arable and forest soils

Summary Soil respiration was investigated in three loamy Orthic Luvisols (two arable, one forest soil), three sandy Haplic Podzols (also two arable, one forest soil) with a modified intersite method according to Lundegardh (1924). The method allows characterization of the CO₂-flux from the soil and interpretation of the different levels with regard to temperature, nutrient and air supply. The method is sensitive to tillage and fertilization effects. In the two arable Luvisols the mean cumulative respiration rate was not uniform compared with the forest soil; in one case it was much higher and in another much lower. CO₂ evolution in the Podzol under spruce was much lower than in the two arable Podzols. In the sandy Podzols 5 replicate measurements gave adequate results, with an error probability of 10%, but in the loamy Luvisols it was necessary to use 10 replicates to specify the same degree of difference. If soil respiration is very high, immediately after fertilization with cattle slurry or dung on arable land, or after litterfall in a deciduous forest, more replicates are necessary.     

实体水-虚拟水"二维三元"耦合流动理论基本框架

在变化环境下,区域水资源系统演变规律正在发生深刻变化。解决新形势下出现的水问题单单依靠传统的实体水资源规划、调度和调控手段还不够。虚拟水概念和理论的提出拓展了水文水资源的认知范畴,丰富了水问题的解决手段。然而,如何搭建虚拟水理论与传统水文水资源认知体系的统一框架,认识自然-经济-社会连续系统中水资源演化的新规律,目前学界还没有成熟统一的看法。该文首先提出了实体水-虚拟水耦合流动效应的基本理论框架,指出实体水-虚拟水耦合流动是现代环境下自然-经济-社会水资源系统呈现的新特征。其次,从文明进步和生产力发展角度,论述了人类社会水文水资源系统的演化历史,将水文水资源系统演进大体分为三个阶段:早期的实体水"一维一元"自然循环阶段,近现代的实体水"二元"水循环阶段和当前的实体水-虚拟水"二维三元"耦合流动阶段。最后,该文详细论述了实体水-虚拟水耦合流动过程的路径结构,并针对其流动过程和状态表征提出了定量表达方程,初步构建了实体水-虚拟水耦合流动基本理论框架。     

Impact of elevated CO2 on mycorrhizal associations and implications for plant growth

The impact of increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO₂ upon plant physiology has been widely investigated. Plant, and in particular root, growth is nearly always enhanced as a direct consequence of CO₂ enrichment, with C₃ species generally more responsive than C₄ species. Such alterations in plant productivity will have consequence for below-ground processes and increased carbon allocation to the roots may favour symbiotic relationships. This paper discusses the current information available for the consequences of these changes upon mycorrhizal relationships. Generally mycorrhizal plants grown under CO₂ enrichment show enhanced phosphorus uptake but nitrogen uptake is unaffected. This increased nutrient uptake is not correlated with increased mycorrhizal colonization of the roots. Similarly root exudation does not increase under CO₂ enrichment but qualitative differences have yet to be assessed. However, it is predicted that total rhizodeposition of materials will increase as will litter inputs, although mineral and biochemical alterations to these plant derived inputs may occur. The consequences of such changes within the rhizosphere are discussed and future research     

Effect of successive cuttings on uptake and partitioning of 15N among plant parts of Leucaena leucocephala

Summary We studied the effect of three successive cuttings on N uptake and fixation and N distribution in Leucaena leucocephala. Two isolines, uninoculated or inoculated with three different Rhizobium strains, were grown for 36 weeks and cut every 12 weeks. The soil was labelled with 50 ppm KNO₃ enriched with 10 atom % ¹⁵N excess soon after the first cutting. Except for the atom % ¹⁵N excess in branches of K28 at the second cutting, both the L. leucocephala isolines showed similar patterns of total N, fixed N₂, and N from fertilizer distribution in different parts of the plant at each cutting. The Rhizobium strain did not influence the partitioning of ¹⁵N among the different plant parts. Significant differences in ¹⁵N enrichment occurred in different parts. Live nodules of both isolines showed the lowest atom % ¹⁵N excess values (0.087), followed by leaves (0.492), branches (0.552), stems (0.591), and roots (0.857). The roots contained about 60% of the total plant N and about 70% of the total N derived from fertilizer over the successive cuttings. The total N₂ fixed in the roots was about 60% of that fixed in the whole plant, while the shoots contained only 20% of the fixed N₂. We conclude that N reserves in roots and nodules constitute another N source that must be taken into account when estimating fixed N₂ or the N balance after pruning or cutting plants. ¹⁵N enrichment declined up to about fivefold in the reference and the N₂-fixing plants over 24 weeks following the ¹⁵N application. The proportion and the amounts of N derived from fertilizer decreased, while the amount derived from N₂ fixation increased with time although its proportion remained constant.     

Impact of atmospheric CO2 and plant life forms on soil microbial activities

From the global change perspective, increase of atmospheric CO₂ and land cover transformation are among the major impacts caused by human activities. In this study, we are addressing the combined issues of the effect of CO₂ concentration increase and plant type on soil microbial activities by asking how annual and perennial plant groups affect soil microbial processes under elevated CO₂. The experimental design used a mix of species of different growth forms for both annuals and perennials. Our objective was: (1) to determine how two years of annual or perennial plant cover and CO₂ enrichment could affect Mediterranean soil microbial processes; (2) to test the resistance and the resilience of these soil functional processes after a natural perturbation. We determined the effects of 2 years atmospheric CO₂ enrichment on soil potential respiration (SIR), denitrification (DEA) and nitrification (NEA) activities. We could not find any significant effect of CO₂ increase on SIR, DEA and NEA. However, we found a strong effect of the plant cover type, i.e. annuals versus perennials, on the potential microbial activity related to N cycling. DEA and NEA were significantly higher in soil under annual plants while SIR was not significantly different. To determine whether these changes would survive a natural perturbation, we carried out a rain event experiment once the experimental treatments (i.e. different plant cover and atmospheric CO₂ concentration) were stopped. The soil potential respiration, as expressed by the SIR, was not affected and remained stable. DEA rates converged rapidly under annuals and perennials after the rain event. Under both annuals and perennials NEA increased significantly after the rain event but remained significantly higher in the soil with annual plants. The relative change of the soil microbial processes induced by annual and perennial plants was inversely related to the density and the diversity of the corresponding microbial functional groups.     

Relative importance of motility and antibiosis in the rhizoplane competence of a biocontrol agent Pseudomonas fluorescens MelRC2Rif

Mutants defective in motility or antibiotics production were obtained by Tn5 mutagenesis of a biocontrol agent Pseudomonas fluorescens MelRC2Rif (wt). Tomato or melon seeds were co-inoculated with a Tn5 mutant and wt in a 1:1 ratio and then grown in soil for 10 days. There was no change in ratios of Tn5 mutants defective in antibiosis to wt in the process of rhizoplane colonization, suggesting little contribution of in vitro antibiosis to the rhizoplane competence of P. fluorescens MelRC2Rif. Similar results were also obtained when seeds treated with bacteria were planted in soil artificially infested with fungal pathogens. In contrast, ratios of Tn5 mutants defective in motility to wt significantly decreased, suggesting the contribution of motility to the rhizoplane competence of this bacterium. When a non-motile Tn5 mutant and wt were co-inoculated into soil at a matric potential of pF 2.3 (–20 kPa) and plants were then grown, there was no change in the ratio in rhizoplane colonization, suggesting that motility might have a role in the movement along roots but an insignificant role in the movement from bulk soil towards roots. When they were co-inoculated into 0.2% water agar (WA) instead of soil, a remarkable decline in ratios was detected. Thus it was soil structure that hindered the efficiency of motility. Time course enumeration of rhizoplane colonization of tomatoes grown in WA revealed that motility was an important means of movement towards and/or along roots rather than the multiplication on roots.

中药有效成分对小鼠2-细胞胚胎体外发育的作用

如何获得更多具有活力的可操作的桑椹胚、囊胚一直是胚胎体外培养的研究热点。近二十年来,虽经采用改进培养液成分、改善培养条件、建立体细胞与胚胎共培养体系和添加生长因子、细胞因子等手段,胚胎质量有所提高,但体外受精卵的囊胚发育率仍远低于体内受精,与体内受精囊胚相比,体外受精囊胚的细胞总数和内细胞团细胞数量明显减少,胚胎移植妊娠率和产仔率较低,这些问题均严重影响了胚胎工厂化生产和胚胎产业化的发展,以及育种工作的进程。因此,探索开辟胚胎体外培养生长发育的新途径,提高其发育率和移植妊娠率显得尤为必要。目前,国内外有关中草药有效成分对体外胚胎发育作用的研究甚少。本研究以ICR小鼠2-细胞胚胎为试验材料,将中药有效成分黄芩苷(Baicalin,Bai)、川芎嗪(Ligustrazine,Lig)和小檗碱(Berberine,BR)添加于mCZB基础液中,并以添加双抗的mCZB基础液为试验对照组,比较其对胚胎体外发育的影响。结果表明,体外培养120 h的胚胎孵化率,Bai组(80.6%)、Lig组(78.3%)及BR组(75.9%)极显著高于对照组(51.8%)(P<0.01)。孵化胚胎细胞计数,BR组、Lig组和Bai组(分别为87.2±8.6、83.9±7.7和81.9±6.2),与对照组(77.4±5.6)差异极显著(P<0.01)。说明3种中药有效成分均能显著促进小鼠早期胚胎的体外发育及胚胎细胞增殖。为进一步探讨Bai、Lig、BR对胚胎体外培养发育的效果和验证其胚胎质量,将不同组别培养至桑椹、囊胚期的胚胎进行两种程序常规冷冻,解冻后继续培养,观察其冷冻效果,并将各组解冻后发育至囊胚期胚胎移植。结果表明:冷冻解冻桑椹胚体外培养8~14 h囊胚发育率,程序一中Bai组(65.8%)和Lig组(81.1%)分别显著(P<0.05)和极显著(P<0.01)地高于对照组(48.6%)和BR组(46.7%);程序二中Bai组(80.6%)、Lig组(78.3%)极显著高于对照组(55.2%)和BR组(47.6%)(P<0.01)。冷冻解冻囊胚体外培养6~8 h囊胚发育率,程序一中各组间无显著差异(P>0.05);程序二中,中药有效成分各组间差异不显著(P>0.05),但均显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。两种冷冻程序效果差异不显著(P>0.05)。移植妊娠率和产仔率,Bai组(56.3%,63.3%)、Lig组(52.6%,67.3%)和BR组(55.0%,60.5%)均高于对照组(46.2%,52.8%)。说明3种中药有效成分对于提高小鼠2-细胞胚胎体外发育质量具有一定促进作用,并有利于提高冷冻解冻后移植胚胎的发育潜力。
