砾石覆盖年限对连作农田土壤微生物和酶活性的影响

以中国科学院皋兰试验站的连续砾石覆盖2,7,11,15和20a的连作西瓜农田为对象,对不同覆盖年限连作西瓜农田土壤中微生物数量、过氧化氢酶、淀粉酶、蔗糖酶、多酚氧化酶、脱氢酶酶活性进行了研究。结果表明,随着砾石覆盖年限的增加,土壤微生物数量逐渐降低,在覆盖7～11a时最为稳定,此后微生物多样性指数和均匀度指数持续降低。在0～20a范围内,砾石覆盖下多数土壤酶活性随着覆盖年限的延长呈抛物线变化趋势,在砾石覆盖10～11a之前呈上升趋势,随后呈下降趋势。总体而言,在砾石覆盖11a左右的农田中,土壤酶活性最高,砾石覆盖超过15a的农田土壤酶活性较低,作物减产,需要停耕堆肥,重新换沙来维持产量。这一结果可为砾石覆盖农田土壤的持续利用与科学管理提供基础依据。     

不同磷源对作物根际效应影响的研究

本文通过网室盆栽和室内分析相结合的方法,研究了几种P源施入石灰性土壤后对作物根际生物活性性质的影响,结果表明:对于不同P源处理,小麦生长过程中根际、非根际微生物种群的数量及根际效应(R/B)有显著差异,其大小顺序为:K2HPO4>CaMg-P>SSP>FA>CK。微生物数量在生育后期达到高峰。作物根际磷酸酶活性随生育期的进展逐步增强。不同P源处理影响下的土壤磷酸酶活性有一定的差异,总体顺序为:FA>SSP >K2HPO4> CaMg-P>CK。土壤碱性磷酸酶活性显著地高于中性磷酸酶活性。     

紫云英还田方式对烟田土壤微生物及酶的影响

为探明紫云英不同还田方式对土壤生物学特性的影响,选择合理的还田方式,通过定位试验进行了全层翻耕紫云英覆盖、全层翻耕紫云英深埋和全层翻耕紫云英不还田3种方法对烟草不同生育期的土壤微生物数量、微生物活度和酶活性的影响研究。结果表明:在烟草生育期内,好气性细菌数量呈现前期急速下降,中期缓慢上升,后期稍微波动的趋势,深埋处理都略高于覆盖处理;真菌数量整体呈现上升趋势,紫云英覆盖前期可显著增加真菌数量,深埋对真菌数量影响不大;放线菌数量紫云英还田处理呈现前期下降,中期急速上升,后期缓慢上升的趋势。土壤微生物活度则先下降再持续上升,至烟草成熟期,紫云英覆盖紫云英深埋不还田。土壤纤维素酶活性以旺长期为分界点,表现为前期增加、后期下降的特点,紫云英还田高于不还田;土壤脲酶活性呈现先迅速下降,再缓慢上升,再急速上升的趋势,以紫云英深埋处理的脲酶活性最高;土壤蛋白酶和过氧化氢酶的活性在烟草生育期的变化不大,都表现为早期稍微下降,以后趋于平缓,以紫云英深埋的酶活性较高。土壤生物学综合评价表明,采用全层翻耕紫云英深埋(1500kg/667m2)更利于提高土壤质量。     

砾石覆盖对土壤水热过程及旱作小麦玉米产量的影响

为了揭示砾石覆盖对农田土壤水热变化及作物产量形成的影响,2013—2015年采用小区试验法研究冬小麦-夏玉米轮作条件下土壤水分变化、温度效应以及作物生长和产量之间的相互作用关系。田间试验设置无覆盖(CK)、25%砾石覆盖(GM1)、50%砾石覆盖(GM2)、75%砾石覆盖(GM3)和100%砾石覆盖(GM4)5个处理。结果表明:砾石覆盖度与土壤水分呈显著正相关,100%砾石覆盖处理土壤贮水量最高;干旱胁迫条件下砾石覆盖度越高土壤的保水性越好,降雨条件下砾石覆盖度越高土壤截留雨水的能力越大。砾石覆盖具有明显的增温效应,4个砾石覆盖处理的土壤平均温度大于CK处理,GM4处理土壤平均温度最大;砾石覆盖处理可以认为是一种有效的温度调节方式,具体表现在低温(-5~0℃)条件下GM4处理较CK处理土壤温度增加5℃,高温(40~45℃)条件下GM4处理较CK处理土壤温度降低3.7℃;在寒冷气候和水分亏缺的情况下4个砾石覆盖处理增温能力均大于对照。此外,夏玉米叶面积指数随着砾石覆盖度增加而增大。100%砾石覆盖处理的2季冬小麦和夏玉米平均产量较对照处理分别增加了58.55%和22.50%。可见,砾石覆盖技术可以有效保持土壤水分、增加土壤温度、促进作物生长和提高产量,是干旱半干旱地区应对水分胁迫和气候变化、     

棉隆熏蒸与微生物有机肥联用对西瓜枯萎病的防控研究

通过田间试验评估了土壤熏蒸和微生物有机肥联用对西瓜枯萎病的防控效果及对西瓜产量与品质的影响。试验设置3个处理:对照(CK)、棉隆熏蒸结合普通有机肥处理(OF)、棉隆熏蒸结合微生物有机肥处理(BOF)。结果发现:与CK相比,BOF处理和OF处理均显著降低西瓜枯萎病发生率,病害防治效果分别为65.8%和54.1%;BOF处理还显著增加连作西瓜产量(增幅达33.4%),提高西瓜中心糖含量(增幅达15.9%)和糖酸比(增幅达13.4%)。棉隆熏蒸处理土壤细菌和真菌数量均显著低于CK,尖孢镰刀菌数量下降3个数量级;土壤脲酶、蔗糖酶、荧光素二乙酸酯酶活性以及土壤微生物碳源利用多样性指数、均一性指数较CK均显著降低。棉隆熏蒸后施用有机肥可使土壤微生物数量、土壤酶活性及微生物碳源利用多样性逐步恢复,其中BOF处理土壤微生物数量和酶活性恢复速度和强度更大、病原菌数量及病原菌与真菌数量比最低、微生物碳源利用多样性指数最高。结果表明,利用棉隆对连作西瓜土壤熏蒸20 d能显著减少病原菌数量,配合施用微生物有机肥,能快速改善土壤微生物区系和恢复土壤酶活性,降低枯萎病的发生,并有效促进西瓜生长,提高西瓜产量及品质。     

醋糟菌糠对3种作物土壤微生物及酶活性的影响

为研究醋糟菌糠作为一种生物肥料对土壤肥力的影响,为解决食用菌菌糠对环境污染及其有效利用提供科学依据,本文通过田间试验,对玉米、高粱、糯玉米3种作物基施醋糟菌糠后不同生育期的土壤脲酶、蔗糖酶和过氧化氢酶活性,细菌、放线菌和真菌数量,及微生物量碳、氮含量进行测试。研究结果表明:1)醋糟菌糠显著提高了作物根际土壤细菌、放线菌和真菌的数量。在作物整个生育期,加入醋糟菌糠的土壤细菌数量比对照提高32%~54%;放线菌数量在成熟期提高明显,玉米田土壤放线菌数量增幅最大,为101%;真菌数量变化总体趋势呈现先升高后下降的趋势。2)醋糟菌糠的施入增加了作物根际土壤脲酶、过氧化氢酶、蔗糖酶的活性。种植高粱、玉米和糯玉米土壤的脲酶活性增长率分别为239%、189%和185%;3种作物的土壤过氧化氢酶活性在抽穗期最高,最大增长率为40%;3种作物的土壤蔗糖酶活性在不同生育期变化趋势不同,玉米各生育期土壤蔗糖酶活性变化较为稳定,其增长率分别为38%、28%、48%。3)醋糟菌糠的施入增加了作物根际土壤微生物碳氮的含量,不同生育期3种作物的土壤微生物碳含量增幅为58.10~407.67 mg·kg-1,微生物氮含量增幅为11.98~27.55 mg·kg-1。由此可见,醋糟菌糠的施用可以增强土壤生产力的可持续性,从而达到保护和改善土壤环境的效果。同时该研究也为醋糟菌糠的有效利用提供了一定的科学依据。     

冬季作物对水稻生育期土壤微生物量碳、氮的影响

选取我国南方4种冬季作物黑麦草、紫云英、油菜、马铃薯,以冬闲田作对照,对水稻生育期土壤微生物量碳（SMBC）和土壤微生物量氮（SMBN）的短期内动态变化进行了研究。结果表明,早稻田翻耕前,冬季作物处理土壤SMBC和SMBN与冬闲田存在显著差异(P0.05),黑麦草处理SMBC为398.5 mg/kg,显著高于其他作物;紫云英处理SMBN最高,为97.8 mg/kg。在早稻整个生育期,黑麦草处理SMBC显著高于其他处理,晚稻生长过程中各处理无显著差异。冬季作物对稻田土壤微生物商(MQ)的影响,随着水稻生长发育进程有不同程度的变化,黑麦草处理在早稻整个生育期高于冬闲田。     

土地利用变化对闽江口湿地土壤生态酶化学计量特征的影响

为探究闽江口湿地土地利用和恢复对土壤酶活性的影响,采集闽江口芦苇湿地、滩涂地、草地、农田和撂荒地5种不同土地利用方式,分析土壤β—葡萄糖苷酶、N—乙酰—氨基葡萄糖苷酶、L—亮氨酸—氨基肽酶和酸性磷酸酶活性及与环境因子之间的关系。结果表明:土壤pH、铵态氮和硝态氮在农田土壤显著高于其他土地利用方式;而土壤碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)全量含量在撂荒地和芦苇湿地显著高于其他土地利用方式。撂荒地、农田和芦苇湿地可溶性碳氮含量显著高于滩涂和草地土壤;土壤微生物量碳氮含量在不同土地利用方式间变化趋势比较一致,撂荒地均显著高于其他土地利用方式,分别为1 272,124 mg/kg。土壤酶活性变化趋势在不同土地利用方式间基本一致,即撂荒地最高,其次是芦苇湿地和农田,草地和滩涂最低。土壤酶活性矢量长度介于1.12~1.34,矢量角度均大于45°,且土壤胞外酶生态化学计量C∶N∶P总体上为1.00∶1.03∶1.33,表现出主要受磷限制的影响。土壤酶活性与可溶性碳氮、总碳氮和微生物量碳氮均呈显著正相关。研究结果表明,芦苇湿地转化为滩涂等利用方式后土壤碳氮等养分显著降低,而撂荒等方式可提高土壤养分含量,促进土壤微生物活性,进而有利于湿地生态系统的恢复和改善。     

秸秆和地膜覆盖条件下玉米农田土壤有机碳组分生长季动态

基于黄土高原8 a的春玉米覆盖定位试验,研究了秸秆和地膜覆盖下土壤有机碳、微生物量碳、潜在可矿化碳及颗粒有机碳在作物不同生育期的季节变化特征,探讨旱作农田不同碳组分对地表覆盖的响应规律。结果表明:1)秸秆和地膜覆盖下土壤有机碳及其各组分含量在玉米生长期间总体呈苗期下降、拔节期上升、大喇叭口—抽雄期下降、灌浆和收获期回升的变化趋势。2)与不覆盖对照相比,秸秆覆盖在大部分作物生育期均显著提高了土壤有机碳各组分含量,有助于培肥地力和土壤固碳;而地膜覆盖在作物生育后期导致土壤有机碳及各组分含量显著下降。3)秸秆覆盖下表层土壤颗粒有机碳对总有机碳变化具有重要贡献,地膜覆盖后土壤有机碳变化可能主要来自于潜在可矿化碳和颗粒有机碳,而土壤微生物量碳相对含量在不同处理间差异不大。4)对照和地膜覆盖处理土壤潜在可矿化碳和颗粒有机碳的相对含量在大喇叭口—抽雄期均有显著下降,而秸秆覆盖下两种组分的相对含量则保持平稳,表明秸秆覆盖对生育后期土壤潜在可矿化碳和颗粒有机碳有重要的补给作用。总之,黄土高原的春玉米田秸秆覆盖具有明显的提升土壤有机碳及组分含量的作用,地膜覆盖则无明显效果,且在春玉米生育后期降低了土壤总有机碳及各组分的含量。     

延边烟区不同土壤的根际土壤微生物生态效应研究

为揭示烤烟根际微生物数量及酶活性的变化规律,阐明烤烟-土壤-微生物之间的协同作用机理,在延边烟区采集不同土壤类型的烤烟根际土壤,研究了烤烟根际土壤微生物生态效应.结果表明:不同土壤条件下烤烟各时期根际微生物区系和微生物生理菌群数量存在着较大的差异,其中暗棕壤黏土和暗棕壤黑砂土比白浆土更适合细菌和解钾菌的生长,白浆土真菌数的变化幅度较大可能是引起烟叶质量变差的原因之一,暗棕壤黏土和暗棕壤黑砂土在烤烟生育期内放线菌数量的变化较大,明显大于白浆土;自生固氮菌在移栽后 60 天前数量均较低,60 天后急剧升高,100 天时暗棕壤黏土和暗棕壤黑砂土自生固氮菌数量显著高于白浆土;氨化菌生长的最适宜期出现的早晚顺序为:暗棕壤黏土＞暗棕壤黑砂土＞白浆土;生育期内根际土壤解磷菌数变化较大,暗棕壤黏土烟株在旺盛生长时期的解磷菌数显著高于其他 2 种类型土壤.过氧化氢酶活性的变化规律很大程度上受土壤类型的影响,而转化酶和多酚氧化酶变化受土壤类型影响较小,但两者的大小受土壤类型的影响.     

The use of polyethylene mulches to change soil microclimate as revealed by enzyme activity and biomass nitrogen,sulphur and phosphorus

Summary The effects of white, black and clear polyethylene mulches on temporal fluctuations in protease, sulphatase and phosphatase activities and levels of available and biomass N, S and P in raised beds of soil under a strawberry crop were investigated under field conditions. During spring, summer and early autumn, clear and, to a lesser extent black, polyethylene mulch increased both maximum and minimum mean monthly temperatures over those recorded with white mulch or no mulch. During summer and autumn, soil moisture content measured at monthly intervals was higher under mulched than unmulched conditions. Levels of extractable nitrate and sulphate in soils during autumn followed the order: clear mulch = black mulch > white mulch > no mulch. However, there were no significant differences in levels of enzyme activity or concentrations of biomass N, S or P between treatments. There were significant seasonal fluctuations in estimates of biomass N, S and P, but there was no close relationship between fluctuations in any estimate. This discrepancy was attributed to errors in the chloroform fumigation technique. Enzyme activities showed significant temporal fluctuations but the three enzymes did not show similar times of minimum and maximum activity. The complexity of interactions between soil microbial and biochemical properties and nutrient availability was exemplified by the absence of a discernible relationship between seasonal fluctuations in enzyme activities and levels of biomass N, S and P and/or levels of extractable mineral N, S and P in the soil. Strawberry fruit yields and vegetative growth followed the order : clear mulch = black mulch>white mulch>no mulch. Clear, and to a lesser extent black mulch increased the percentage of total yields produced in the first 2 months of cropping.     

Impact of cultivation management in an agroecosystem on hot spot effects of earthworm middens

In comparison to the surrounding soil, hot spot effects of middens of the epianecic earthworm Lumbricus terrestris were determined under different field conditions on a loamy sand. The impact of 3 different management systems was studied: 1. unmulched; 2. straw mulching; 3. intermediate crop: Sinapis alba. Furthermore, we considered 2 different crops (bean, lupine) and their growth stages. We monitored different enzyme activities and abiotic parameters of soil at 6 sampling dates between April and August 1998 parallel to abundances of microfauna (soil protozoa) and mesofauna (Enchytraeidae, Collembola, mites). The analysis of earthworm middens revealed enhanced enzyme activities and increased mesofaunal abundances. Differences between midden and reference samples were significant during the whole vegetation period and became maximal during ripening of crops. We found a distinct but not significant increase in individual numbers of soil flagellates in midden areas during leafing and heading of crops. Values of the studied parameters tended to be higher in bean plots but generally the crop impact on midden properties was not significant. Our results showed a significant positive synergistic effect between earthworm middens and intermediate crop. Straw mulching supported the hot spot effects of middens.     

苔藓结皮及其下层土壤的胞外酶活性与微生物CUE特征

为进一步明确苔藓结皮对下层土壤养分的影响及微生物对养分的利用特征,以黄土丘陵区典型退耕地上发育的苔藓结皮及其下层土壤(0—2 cm,2—5 cm,10—20 cm)为研究对象,分析在剖面尺度下土壤碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)养分状况、胞外酶活性以及微生物CUE特征。结果表明:苔藓结皮显著提高了表层土壤养分含量,结皮层的SOC,TN,TP,DOC,DON和Olsen-P含量分别是10—20 cm土壤养分的2.58,2.34,1.13,2.30,4.30,7.36倍。与养分含量特征一致,微生物生物量随土层深度的增加逐渐降低。在整个剖面尺度上,微生物群落存在较为稳定的元素内稳态以保持自身C,N,P的计量平衡。参与C,N,P循环的相关胞外酶活性在剖面尺度上表现出差异,β-1,4-葡萄糖苷酶(BG)随深度增加逐渐降低,而β-1,4-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶(NAG)和碱性磷酸酶(AP)则表现为先降低后增加的趋势,底层土壤较高的NAG和AP酶活性反映出N,P养分的匮乏。微生物CUE在剖面尺度上表现为先降低后增加的趋势,平均水平为0.25,表明表层与深层土壤更有助于C的固存。此外,方差分解(VPA)和线性模型结果均指出养分状况和土壤酶是影响微生物CUE的关键因素。总的来说,苔藓结皮对表层土壤的养分和微生物代谢产生积极作用,尽管底层土壤养分匮乏,但仍保持较高的微生物C利用效率。     

Soil management options for Alfisols in the semi-arid tropics: annual and perennial crop production

A field experiment was conducted in the semi arid tropics to study the effects of soil structural modification on cropping systems. The aim was to improve crop production and land resource protection using innovative soil management practices. Tillage, mulch and perennial/annual rotational based systems were compared for 5 years in an Alfisol at ICRISAT in India. Crop yield parameters, including grain and biomass yield, leaf area index, crop cover, and plant height were measured. Results indicate significant benefits to annual crop yield (maize, sorghum) from improved water supply due to mulching with farmyard manure or and rice straw, and due to rotation with prior-perennial crops. Grain yields were 16 to 59% higher in mulched treatments compared to unmulched treatments, with similar increases for fodder yields. Annual crop yields after 4 years of perennials were 14 to 81% higher than unmulched treatments, except for low fertility maize grown after buffel grass. The interaction with chemical fertility was less clear than for water supply. The results have implications for soil management throughout the semi-arid tropics.     

Effects of cover crops,compost, and manure amendments on soil microbial community structure in tomato production systems

Soil microbial community structure and crop yield was investigated in field tomato production systems that compared black polyethylene mulch to hairy vetch mulch and inorganic N to organic N. The following hypotheses were tested: (1) hairy vetch cover cropping increases crop yield and significantly affects soil microbial community structure when compared to the standard plastic mulch and synthetic fertilizer-based system; (2) within plastic mulch systems, organic amendments will increase crop yield and significantly affect soil microbial community structure when compared to synthetic fertilizer; (3) crop yields and microbial community structure will be similar in the hairy vetch cover cropping and the organic amended plasticulture systems. Treatments consisted of ammonium nitrate (control), hairy vetch cover crop, hairy vetch cover crop and poultry manure compost (10 Mg/ha), three levels of poultry manure compost (5, 10, and 20 Mg/ha), and two levels of poultry manure (2.5 and 5 Mg/ha). Black polyethylene mulch was used in all treatments without hairy vetch. Fatty acid analysis was used to characterize the total soil microbial community structure, while two substrate utilization assays were used to investigate the community structure of culturable bacteria and fungi. Crop yield was not significantly increased by hairy vetch cover cropping when compared to black polyethylene mulch, although microbial community structure was significantly affected by cover cropping. Under black polyethylene mulch, crop yields were significantly increased by the highest levels of compost and manure when compared to inorganic fertilizer, but there was no detectable effect on soil microbial community structure. When cover cropping was compared to organic amended plasticulture systems, crop yields were similar one year but dissimilar the next. However, hairy vetch cover cropping and organic amendments under black plastic mulch produced significantly different soil microbial community structure.     

Effects of past and current crop management on soil microbial biomass and activity

Because soil biota is influenced by a number of factors, including land use and management techniques, changing management practices could have significant effects on the soil microbial properties and processes. An experiment was conducted to investigate differences in soil microbiological properties caused by long- and short-term management practices. Intact monolith lysimeters (0.2 m² surface area) were taken from two sites of the same soil type that had been under long-term organic or conventional crop management and were then subjected to the same 2.5-year crop rotation [winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), maize (Zea mais L.), lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.), and rape (Brassica napus L. ssp. oleifera)] and two fertilizer regimes (following common organic and conventional practices). Soil samples were taken after crop harvest and analyzed for microbial biomass C and N, microbial activity (fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis, arginine deaminase activity, and dehydrogenase activity), and total C and N. The incorporation of the green manure stimulated growth and activity of the microbial communities in soils of both management histories. Soil microbial properties did not show any differences between organically and conventionally fertilized soils, indicating that crop rotation and plant type had a larger influence on the microbial biomass and enzyme activities than fertilization. Initial differences in microbial biomass declined, while the effects of farm management history were still evident in enzyme activities and total C and N. Links between enzyme activities and microbial biomass C varied depending on treatment, indicating differences in microbial community composition.     

Long-term gravel–sand mulch affects soil physicochemical properties,microbial biomass and enzyme activities in the semi-arid Loess Plateau of North-western China

The use of gravel–sand mulch is a traditional water-conservation technique in the semi-arid Loess Plateau of North-western China. In this study, we investigated the 16-year effects of this mulch on soil physicochemical properties (total organic C, N and P; bulk density; Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn and Zn; soil texture; pH), microbial biomass C, N and P and enzymatic activities (peroxidase, dehydrogenase, invertase, β-glucosidase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase and urease) in a field trial in China's Gaolan County. We examined how these parameters changed after 7, 11 and 16 years of mulching. After 16 years, soil bulk density and sand content increased significantly. Soil Ca and Cu contents did not change significantly during the study period, but Fe, Mg, Mn and Zn contents all decreased significantly after 16 years. The total N increased significantly after 11 years, but total C and N both decreased dramatically and significantly after 16 years (by 22% and 13%, respectively, compared to the control). The mulch significantly increased microbial biomass C (by 29% after 11 years), with similar results for N and P, but these positive effects were lost after 16 years. Enzyme activities revealed changes in the soil microbial community over time; the mulch increased enzyme activities until 11 years, followed by a significant decrease that suggested degradation of soil quality after long-term mulching. The positive effects of the mulch (increasing soil temperature) could explain the high microbial biomass and enzyme activities after 11 years. However, long-term increases in soil bulk density and sand content (caused by mixing of the mulch layer with the surface soil) and a lack of inputs of organic matter (caused by the barrier created by the mulch layer) led to degradation of the soil after 16 years.
