Decrease in diversity and shift in composition of the soil bacterial community were closely related to high available phosphorus in agricultural Fluvisols of North China

ABSTRACT

Our objectives were to investigate whether AP affects the soil bacterial community composition and diversity in high-level available phosphorus (AP) soils. The bacterial community was analysed through high-throughput sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Fifteen soils, including barren land, cropland and greenhouse soils which were sandy loam Fluvisols, were selected from different fields in Beijing, China, with AP contents ranging from 5.03 to 391.45 mg kg^?1. Statistical analyses revealed high AP (>100 mg kg^?1) decreased alpha diversity (Shannon’s index, H’) but not beta diversity of the soil bacterial community. The sequencing of 16S rRNA genes showed that Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria were the dominant phyla in sandy loam Fluvisols. AP, soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) had synergistic influence on the shift of the bacterial community composition. Moreover, AP was the main driving factor affecting the soil bacterial community composition compared with other environmental factors. The members of the Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria belonging to copiotrophic taxa typically increased in relative abundance in high-P soils, while oligotrophic taxa (mainly Acidobacteria) decreased in relative abundance. Our results demonstrated that the bacterial community composition would shift from oligotrophic to copiotrophic with increasing levels of AP.     

不同修复植被类型的三峡库区消落带土壤细菌群落分析

为了探究三峡库区消落带不同修复植被对土壤细菌群落结构的影响,以纯草地(A₁)、纯林地(A₂)和覆草林地(A₃)3种不同样地土壤为研究对象,采用土壤理化因子检测及扩增子测序的研究方法,分析了不同修复植被对三峡库区消落带土壤细菌群落的影响。结果表明:不同样地的pH值、全氮(TN)和全磷(TP)含量无显著性差异,A₁和A₃的土壤有机碳(SOC)含量之间无显著性差异,但均显著高于A₂(p<0.05); 相关分析显示样地土壤细菌群落ACE指数和Shannon指数与土壤SOC和TN含量显著正相关(p<0.05),Chao1指数与土壤SOC含量显著正相关(p<0.05); 不同样地土壤的细菌优势种群无明显区别; 属水平上6个优势种群的相对丰度与土壤SOC和TN含量显著相关(p<0.05); 冗余分析显示SOC是影响三峡库区消落带不同修复植被样地细菌群落的主要显著性因子(p<0.05)。由此可以得出,不同修复植被类型的消落带土壤的细菌优势种群无明显差异,土壤细菌群落结构主要受土壤SOC的影响。

Dynamics of Soil Moisture,pH, Organic Carbon,and Nitrogen Under Switchgrass Cropping in a Semiarid Sandy Wasteland

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a perennial biofuel crop with a high production potential and suitable for growth on marginal land. This study investigates the long-term planting effect of switchgrass on the dynamics of soil moisture, pH, organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), nitrate nitrogen (NO₃^–-N) and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) for soils to a depth of 90-cm in a sandy wasteland, Inner Mongolia, China. After crop harvesting in 2015, soil samples were collected from under switchgrass stands established in 2006, 2008, and 2009, native mixture, and a control that was virgin sand. Averaged across six layers, soil moisture and pH was significantly higher under the native mixture than switchgrass or virgin sand. However, SOC and TN were significantly higher under the 2006 switchgrass stand when compared with all other vegetation treatments and the control. The SOC and TN increased from 2.37 and 0.26 g kg^?1, respectively, for 2009 switchgrass stand, and to 3.21 and 0.42 g kg^?1, respectively, for 2006 switchgrass stand. Meanwhile, SOC and TN contents were 2.51 and 0.27 g kg^?1, respectively, under the native mixture. The soil beneath switchgrass and native mixture showed the highest NO₃^–-N and NH₄⁺-N, respectively. The soil moisture increased with depth while SOC, TN, and NO₃^–-N decreased. An obvious trend of increasing moisture, SOC, TN, and mineral N was observed with increasing switchgrass stand age. Thus, growing switchgrass on sandy soils can enhance SOC and TN, improve the availability of mineral N, and generate more appropriate pH conditions for this energy cropping system.     

Changes in the composition and diversity of topsoil bacterial,archaeal and fungal communities after 22 years conventional and no-tillage managements in Northern China

A comprehensive comparison about microbial community (bacterial, archaeal and fungal) response to different tillage managements in Northern China remain little studied, in this study we compared no-tillage (NT) versus conventional tillage (CT) management on topsoil microbial community diversity and composition in field experiment. We found that NT practice significantly increased the soil moisture content (SMC), bulk density, stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), and microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen (P < 0.05). Moreover, higher levels of bacterial and archaeal alpha diversity were observed in NT relative to CT while unexpectedly, there was no significant difference found in fungal diversity between two treatments. The most pronounced shifts in the composition of the different microbial groups were found for the archaeal community, which followed by bacterial and fungal. NT practice markedly enhanced abundances of Proteobacteria (belongs to bacteria) phyla, Thaumarchaeota phyla (belongs to archaea) and Glomeromycota phyla (belongs to fungi). Redundancy analysis revealed that the factor that most closely correlated with bacterial, archaeal and fungal composition were SMC, TN and SOC, respectively. Considering NT enhanced both microbial composition and C storage in topsoil, we suggest that NT offers significant promise to improve topsoil health in this region.     

减施化肥与不同有机肥配施对稻季土壤细菌群落结构的影响

为了研究减施化肥配施不同有机肥对稻麦轮作体系稻季土壤细菌群落结构的影响，采用Illumina高通量测序技术比较了单施化肥、配施菜籽饼和配施蚯蚓粪这3种施肥模式下稻季不同土层土壤环境因子、细菌群落结构变化特征。与单施化肥相比，配施有机肥显著提高各土层土壤有机质和电导率（EC）含量，配施菜籽饼增幅较大；显著增加各土层土壤氮磷钾养分含量，配施蚯蚓粪的土壤速效氮磷钾养分含量较高。配施有机肥提高土壤细菌Sobs指数和Shannon指数；前三位优势菌门，变形菌门（Proteobacteria）、酸杆菌门（Acidobacteria）、绿弯菌门（Chloroflexi）相对丰度分别达36.24%、18.30%、13.87%；配施有机肥对相对丰度小于1%的菌门影响较大。0-5cm土层土壤细菌群落结构主要受pH、TP影响；5-10cm土层土壤细菌群落结构主要受EC，TP、pH影响；10-15cm土层土壤细菌群落结构主要受TN、pH影响。配施有机肥通过改变土壤理化性质进而影响土壤细菌群落结构，特别是稀有菌群。     

棉秆生物质炭添加对棉田土壤理化性质及根际微生物群落结构的影响

以新疆滴灌棉田为研究对象,研究生物质炭施用对棉田土壤理化性质和棉花根际土壤微生物群落特征的影响。试验采集了不施生物质炭(CK)、施生物质炭3 t/hm²(BC1)、施生物质炭6 t/hm²(BC2)和施生物质炭9 t/hm²(BC3)4种处理棉花根际土壤,分析土壤理化性质和根际土壤微生物群落结构和组成的变化。结果表明,生物质炭施用后土壤pH和电导率分别下降了5.58% ~ 9.18%和5.38% ~ 18.04%;与CK相比,生物质炭施用使土壤有机质、全氮、全磷、碱解氮和有效磷含量均显著增加,且BC3增加效果最好,但生物质炭施用导致土壤钾含量显著降低。生物质炭施用显著降低了浮霉菌门(Planctomycetota)、芽单胞菌门(Gemmatimonadota)、厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)和被孢霉门(Mortierellomycota)相对丰度,但增加了子囊菌门(Ascomycota)、斯克尔曼氏菌属(Skermanella)、苔藓杆菌属(Bryobacter)、毛壳菌属(Chaetomium)、头束霉菌属(Cephalotrichum)、金孢属(Chrysosporium)和拟棘壳孢属(Pyrenochaetopsis)的相对丰度。另外,生物质炭施用降低了根际土壤微生物多样性和细菌丰富度,但根际土壤真菌的丰富度提高。生物质炭施用显著影响根际土壤微生物特别是真菌的群落结构,电导率、速效钾和pH是根际土壤微生物群落的主要影响因子。研究表明,生物质炭施用可以改善棉田土壤理化性质进而影响根际土壤微生物群落组成和结构,9 t/hm²为本试验的推荐施用量。     

Bacterial communities associated with natural and commercially grown rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)

Aspalathus linearis is a commercially important plant species endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa and is used to produce a herbal tea known as rooibos tea. Symbiotic interactions between A. linearis and soil bacteria play an important role in the survival of Aspalathus plants in the highly nutrient-poor, acidic fynbos soil. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare rhizosphere and bulk soil bacterial communities associated with natural and commercially grown A. linearis, as well as the effect of seasonal changes on these communities. Bacterial communities were characterized using high throughput amplicon sequencing, and their correlations with soil chemical properties were investigated. The N-fixing bacterial community was characterized using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Acidobacteria were the most dominant bacterial phyla detected in this study. Highly similar bacterial communities were associated with natural and commercially grown plants. Significant differences in the bacterial community were observed between rhizosphere and bulk soils collected in the dry season, while no significant differences were detected in the wet season. This study provides insights into bacterial community structure and potential factors shaping bacterial community structure with commercially important A. linearis.     

Land-use effects on soil carbon and nitrogen in a typical plateau lakeshore wetland of China

Wetland soils (WS) can store a significant amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN). Surface soils (0–20 cm) were sampled in WS, 20-yr-old conventionally tilled soils (CTS20), 2-yr-old abandoned tilled soils (ATS2), and 6-yr-old abandoned tilled soils (ATS6) to estimate changes in SOC and TN contents due to cultivation and abandonment. Our results showed that SOC and TN contents were significantly higher in WS than those in CTS20, ATS2, and ATS6. As a result of 20-yr cultivation, SOC and TN contents decreased from 43.75 to 24.06 g kg^?1 and from 4.96 to 2.32 g kg^?1, respectively. However, after the abandonment of cultivated wetlands, SOC and TN contents showed a slow increase but the change was not significant among CTS20 and ATS2. The findings of this study suggest that SOC and TN contents in top 20 cm soils of wetlands can be reduced significantly by cultivation, but they are restored slowly after abandonment.     

Bacterial and archaeal communities in saline soils from a Los Negritos geothermal area in Mexico

In recent years, there has been a growing need to understand how salinity affects microbial communities in agricultural soils. Archaeal and bacterial community diversities and structures were investigated by high-throughput sequencing analysis of their 16S rRNA in two arable soils with low electrical conductivity(EC)(2.3 and 2.6 dS m^-1) and a saline soil(EC = 17.6 dS m^-1). The dominant bacterial phyla in the soils were Proteobacteria(relative abundance(RA) = 46.2%), followe...

Changes in soil organic carbon fractions and bacterial community composition under different tillage and organic fertiliser application in a maize−wheat rotation system

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of different tillage and organic fertiliser regimes on soil carbon fractions and bacterial community composition within a maize–wheat cropping system. We conducted a six-year experiment on the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of China. Six treatments were established: deep tillage (DT), shallow tillage (ST), no-tillage (NT), deep tillage with organic fertiliser (DTF), shallow tillage with organic fertiliser (STF), and no-tillage with organic fertiliser (NTF). Results indicated that during the winter wheat growing season, the highest contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and easily-oxidised organic carbon (EOC) were in the STF treatment. During the summer maizegrowing season, the DTF treatment had the highest SOC and EOC contents. Compared with the other treatments, the NTF treatment had higher Chao1 and Shannon indices for bacteria; however, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria is highest in all treatments. A redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that bacterial community composition was correlated with variation of the SOC, DOC, EOC, and microbial biomass carbon (MBC). Our results showed that combining the two components of the SOC fractions and bacterial community composition, STF practice in a maize–wheat rotation was a sustainable approach to optimising soil structure and improving soil quality.     

Effects of yak excreta on soil organic carbon mineralization and microbial communities in alpine wetlands of southwest of China

Purpose

Improving knowledge of how soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization responds to excreta application is essential to better understand whether wetland carbon (C) pools will react to grazing. We investigated microbial activity and community structure in the different treatments of excreta addition experiments to examine how soil C mineralization responds to the excreta input in terms of microbial activities and compositions in wetland soils.

Materials and methods

The microcosms of mineralization incubation of excreta addition were established. The structure of the microbial community was described by the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids (PLFA). The methylumbelliferyl-linked substrates (MUB) and l-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) substrates were used to investigate the activities of β-glucosidase (BG), N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG), acid phosphatase (AP), cellobiohydrolase (CBH), and phenol oxidase (PO).

Results and discussion

Excreta addition altered the cumulative C mineralization in swamp meadow (SM) and peatland (PL) soils, but SM was lower than PL. Excreta addition increased the biomass of individual PLFA and the fungi/bacteria ratio, suggesting that microbes are stimulated by nutrients and that the soil microbial community composition is modified by excreta inputs. The hydrolytic enzyme activities were higher in the PL soils than in the SM soils, but the trend was opposite for PO activity. The changes in pH, fungi, actinomycetes (ACT), AP, and CBH after yak fecal input significantly influenced the soil CO₂ efflux. Our findings suggest that yak grazing could influence the rate of C cycling in wetland soils by influencing microbial communities, enzyme activities, and soil pH.

Conclusions

This study suggest that the yak excreta addition increased cumulative C mineralization in SM and PL soils, and the effect of dung addition was more significant than urine addition. The effect of yak excreta addition on SOC mineralization was related with the soil pH, microorganism structure, and enzyme activity which modified by the excreta addition. Soil pH, fungi, AP, and CBH were positively correlated with SOC mineralization, but ACT was negatively correlated with SOC mineralization. In addition, the changes in C and N sources with yak excreta addition play an important role in altering microbial enzyme activities. The input of yak feces into wetlands because of grazing could increase SOC mineralization and thereby promote C emission.

     

长期施肥下红壤旱地的固碳效率

红壤旱地的有机碳含量普遍较低,通过外源添加有机肥是增加土壤有机碳含量的重要手段。本研究以红壤旱地长期肥料试验为基础,研究了不同施肥处理的土壤有机碳含量和储量的变化规律,并进一步探讨碳投入与玉米产量及土壤碳储量的量化关系。结果表明:施用有机肥可以大幅提升红壤旱地的有机碳含量,氮磷钾+有机肥(NPKM)和有机肥(OM)处理在27年间的增加速率分别为0.08 g/(kg·a)和0.06 g/(kg·a),有机碳储量的增加速率分别为0.24t/(hm~2·a)和0.16 t/(hm~2·a);与不施肥(CK)处理相比,NPKM和OM处理的土壤有机碳含量分别增加了51.5%和42.0%,有机碳储量则分别增加57.1%和45.7%。进一步分析表明,有机碳投入量与土壤有机碳储量变化速率之间存在显著的正相关关系(R~2=0.971 5,P0.001),且线性拟合方程(y=–0.158+0.086x)表明,双季玉米种植下红壤旱地的固碳效率为8.6%,当有机碳投入量为1.84 t/(hm~2·a)时,红壤旱地的有机碳储量保持平衡。因此,施用有机肥是提高红壤旱地有机碳储量的有效途径,固碳效率和土壤有机碳平衡点则可以有效指导红壤旱地有机肥的管理措施。

利用Illumina高通量测序对复合重金属污染下根际和非根际稻田土壤细菌的研究

There is an increasing concern about rice (Oryza sativa L.) soil microbiomes under the influence of mixed heavy metal contamination.We used the high-throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing approach to explore the bacterial diversity and community composition of soils in four paddy fields,exhibiting four degrees of mixed heavy metal (Cd,Pb and Zn) pollution,and examined the effects of these metals on the bacterial communities.Our results showed that up to 2 104 to 4 359 bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were found in the bulk and rhizosphere soils of the paddy fields,with the dominant bacterial phyla (greater than 1％ of the overall community) including Proteobacteria,Actinobacteria,Firmicutes,Acidobacteria,Gemmatimonadetes,Chloroflexi,Bacteroidetes and Nitrospirae.A number of rare and candidate bacterial groups were also detected,and Saprospirales,HOC36,SC-I-84 and Anaerospora were rarely detected in rice paddy soils.Venn diagram analysis showed that 174 bacterial OTUs were shared among the bulk soils with four pollution degrees.Rice rhizosphere soils displayed higher bacterial diversity indices (ACE and Chao 1) and more unique OTUs than bulk soils.Total Cd and Zn in the soils were significantly negatively correlated with ACE and Chao 1,respectively,and the Mantel test suggested that total Pb,total Zn,pH,total nitrogen and total phosphorus significantly affected the community structure.Overall,these results provided baseline data for the bacterial communities in bulk and rhizosphere soils of paddy fields contaminated with mixed heavy metals.     

Changes in the soil C and N contents,C decomposition and N mineralization potentials in a rice paddy after long-term application of inorganic fertilizers and organic matter

A long-term experiment on combined inorganic fertilizers and organic matter in paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation began in May 1982 in Yamagata, northeastern Japan. In 2012, after the 31^st harvest, soil samples were collected from five fertilizer treatments [(1) PK, (2) NPK, (3) NPK + 6 Mg ha^?1 rice straw (RS), (4) NPK + 10 Mg ha^?1 rice straw compost (CM1), and (5) NPK + 30 Mg ha^?1 rice straw compost (CM3)], at five soil depths (0–5, 5–10, 10–15, 15–20 and 20–25 cm), to assess the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) content and carbon (C) decomposition potential, total nitrogen (TN) content and nitrogen (N) mineralization potential resulting from long-term organic matter addition. The C decomposition potential was assessed based on the methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced, while the N mineralization potential was determined from the potassium chloride (KCl)-extractable ammonium-nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N), after 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of anaerobic incubation at 30°C in the laboratory. Compared to NPK treatment, SOC in the total 0–25 cm layer increased by 67.3, 21.0 and10.8%, and TN increased by 64.2, 19.7 and 10.6%, in CM3, RS and CM1, respectively, and SOC and TN showed a slight reduction in the PK treatment by 5.2 and 5.7%, respectively. Applying rice straw compost (10 Mg ha^?1) instead of rice straw (6 Mg ha^?1) to rice paddies reduced methane production by about 19% after the soils were measured under 8 weeks of anaerobic incubation at 30°C. Soil carbon decomposition potential (Co) and nitrogen mineralization potential (No) were highly correlated with the SOC and TN contents. The mean ratio of Co/No was 4.49, lower than the mean ratio of SOC/TN (13.49) for all treatments, which indicated that the easily decomposed organic matter was from soil microbial biomass and soil proteins.     

Key soil nutrient requirements for different yield levels in North China

ABSTRACT

Soil chemical properties are closely related to crop production levels. Understanding the relationships between soil nutrients and different yield levels is important for improving the efficiency of fertilization management programs. The objectives of this study were to understand the key soil nutrient requirements for different crop yield levels using 10 experimental wheat-maize rotation sites and to optimize fertilization applications in North China. The results found significant differences between the soil chemical properties among the study sites, with average contents in the range of 10.07–14.72 g/kg for soil organic carbon (SOC), 0.38–1.29 g/kg for total nitrogen (TN), 56.43–89.77 mg/kg for available nitrogen (AN), 17.36–48.54 mg/kg for available phosphorus (AP), 79.4–184.5 mg/kg for available potassium (AK), 0.78–5.97 mg/kg for soil Cu, and 0.75–2.20 mg/kg for soil Zn. The soil pH values were 6.46–8.19. Significant correlations (p < 0.05) were found between high-level yields and higher contents of SOC, TN, AN, and AP when a suitable soil pH were present. The higher levels of soil SOC and TN were important for maintaining high-level yields in these regions. Soil AN and pH are two key limitations that could significantly (p < 0.05) improve medium-level yields. Although some soil indicators, including SOC, TN, AN, AP, soil pH, soil Zn, and Cu could significantly influence low-level yields, soil amendments with C, N, and available P and having a suitable soil pH were especially important for improving low-level yields. These results could be used to improve conventional methods of fertilization management and increase the efficiency of fertilizer use in North China.     

灌水和氮肥类型对土壤微生物量和酶活性的影响

灌水和施氮肥类型对土壤微生物和酶的影响尚不清楚。该研究旨在评估不同灌水和氮肥类型对土壤微生物生物量和酶活性的影响。结果表明,与清水灌溉相比,再生水灌溉显著增加了土壤细菌、放线菌、革兰氏阳性菌的生物量以及总磷脂脂肪酸,增加幅度分别为7.60%、10.48%、4.97%和4.88%。施氮肥显著提高了土壤细菌生物量和总磷脂脂肪酸,增加幅度范围分别为13.42%~17.34%和8.12%~11.19%。与清水灌溉相比,再生水灌溉并没有显著增加土壤脲酶、过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶活性。施氮肥也没有显著提高土壤脲酶、过氧化氢酶和蔗糖酶活性。土壤微生物和酶在施缓释尿素肥的土壤中更为活跃。研究结果表明,与其他土壤微生物相比,放线菌和革兰氏阳性菌生长得更快,能更有效地利用再生水灌溉带入的可溶性有机氮;而细菌能更有效地利用氮肥带入的硝态氮。再生水灌溉和施缓释尿素肥在增加土壤微生物生物量和酶活性方面更有效。为了获得更好的土壤质量,更高的作物产量和可持续性利用水资源,建议夏玉米-冬小麦轮作种植利用再生水滴灌并施用缓释尿素肥。     

石羊河流域干旱荒漠区人工梭梭林对土壤碳库的影响

采用野外调查与室内分析相结合的方法,研究石羊河流域民勤干旱沙区种植人工梭梭林4,13,36年后的土壤有机碳(Soil organic carbon,SOC)、无机碳(Soil inorganic carbon,SIC)、全氮(Total nitrogen,TN)和总碳(soil total carbon,TC)含量及储量变化特征。结果表明:流动沙地种植梭梭后,0-50cm层灌丛下和行间SOC和TN含量总体随造林年限增加而增加,5-50cm层灌丛下SIC含量在13年梭梭林地最高。36,13年林地0-50cm层灌丛下SOC和TN储量均高于行间,而13年灌丛下SIC储量低于行间,4年灌丛下5-50cm层SOC、TN和SIC储量均低于行间。0-50cm层土壤有机碳、无机碳、全氮储量增幅分别为102.44%,24.66%,54.55%,36年林地SOC和TN储量随土层加深先降低后增加,但4,13年和流动沙地SOC、SIC和TN储量均随土层加深而增加。土壤有机碳占总碳比例随造林年限增加而增加。相关分析结果表明,土壤颗粒组成、造林年限、土层深度等与土壤有机碳和全氮储量显著相关(P0.01)。民勤干旱沙区造林提高了土壤碳库截存量,并且随林龄增长而增长。
