不同气候和施肥条件下保护性耕作对农田土壤碳氮储量的影响

【目的】 土壤有机碳氮是影响土壤肥力与作物产量的重要物质,而耕作是影响土壤碳氮储量的重要因素。通过分析不同耕作措施对我国东北、华北地区农田土壤碳氮储量的影响,为优化农田耕作管理、实现固碳减排、保护土壤提供科学依据。 【方法】 基于山西寿阳 (SSY)、山西临汾 (SLF)、河北廊坊 (HLF) 和吉林公主岭 (GZL) 四个长期定位试验,选择传统耕作 (CT)、免耕 (NTN) 和浅旋耕 (NTD) 三个耕作处理,分析了0—80 cm土壤剖面有机碳、氮的储量分布。 【结果】 1) 与传统耕作相比,浅旋耕显著降低褐土 (寿阳) 容重,免耕增加黑土 (公主岭) 容重,保护性耕作对沙性土 (临汾) 和潮土 (廊坊) 的影响很小。2) 耕作影响0—60 cm土壤有机碳储量。与传统耕作处理相比,黑土 (公主岭) 采用免耕和浅旋耕可显著提高0—60 cm土壤中的有机碳含量;免耕可提高褐土 (寿阳)0—50 cm的有机碳含量;沙性土 (临汾)、潮土 (廊坊) 免耕由于表层秸秆覆盖可提高0—15 cm土壤有机碳含量,但降低15—50 cm层土壤碳储量;潮土 (廊坊)15—60 cm土层,浅旋耕可增加土壤有机碳储量,而免耕则相反。3) 免耕处理的潮土 (廊坊) 土壤氮储量比传统耕作高出260 kg/hm2,差异不显著;黑土 (公主岭) 免耕和浅旋耕土壤氮储量则分别高出112 kg/hm2和207 kg/hm2,差异显著,保护性耕作降低临汾和寿阳1 m深土壤的氮储量。4) 保护性耕作加剧了0—20 cm沙性土和潮土壤氮储量的分层,对黑土 (公主岭) 和褐土 (寿阳) 土壤碳储量的层间分布影响很小。 【结论】 耕作影响0—60 cm土壤有机碳储量,免耕可以增加褐土的碳储量和潮土的氮储量,免耕和浅旋耕配合秸秆覆盖可显著增加黑土的碳、氮储量。因此,免耕适用于褐土和潮土,免耕和浅旋耕适用于黑土,沙性土采用保护性耕作的效果不显著。      

保护性耕作对玉米产量及土壤碳氮的影响

尽管保护性耕作从农业管理角度看被广泛认为是有效增加土壤碳和提高土壤质量的一种方式,但是,在土壤垂直分布中改变碳存储量的研究却很少。以美国莱特柏果思县为研究对象,在传统的犁地和耙地的耕作方式下,通过实施保护性耕作方法来测定其对土壤碳的影响(冬季覆盖加带状种植)。在实施保护性耕作5 a前后测定土壤总碳和总氮的含量,从0~65 cm深的土层取样,分别在57个采样点进行收集。每年测量作物产量、冬季和夏季作物的地上生物量、生物质碳、氮含量。结果表明,土壤碳平均增加20 t/hm2且与氮增加2 t/hm2相关。72%~80%的碳的增加是在35 cm土层深以上,35~65 cm土层碳含量增加3~6 t/hm2,净生物质碳增加36%,玉米产量增加了2 200 kg/hm2。分析表明,15~35 cm的土壤碳的含量,是与玉米产量相关的主要土壤参数。在过去45 a中,对年降雨量最低的时期的研究表明,土壤碳介质的增长可增加植物可利用的土壤水,进而提高玉米产量。通过计算测定土壤持水能力表明,土壤中35 cm以上土层碳的增加可能增加土壤蓄水能力且足以满足长达4 d以上的作物用水需求。这些结果表明,在潮湿的美国东南部沿海平原退化的沙质土壤,通过保护性耕作方法可以增加土壤碳和氮累积,增加的土壤碳可能会潜在地减轻短期降雨亏缺对旱地生产系统的不利影响。     

保护性耕作对土壤有机碳组分的影响

为了探讨土壤有机碳及活性有机碳组分对不同耕作措施的响应,在黄土高原半干旱区的定西市李家堡镇进行了长期田间定位试验,采用免耕、秸秆覆盖及小麦和豌豆轮作等保护性耕作措施,对0-5 cm,5-10 cm,10-30cm 3层土壤的有机碳(SOC)、易氧化有机碳(ROC)、微生物生物量碳(MBC)的动态进行了系统的研究,结果表明,与传统耕作相比,保护性耕作的3个处理均能不同程度地提高两种轮作次序下SOC,ROC,MBC的含量,这说明保护性耕作有利于碳的固定和生态农业的健康发展,其中免耕和秸秆覆盖两部分结合效果最佳.同时,各处理土层的含碳量均随土壤深度的增加而降低.相关分析表明,ROC,MBC,ROC/SOC,MBC/SOC对不同耕作措施产生的响应与SOC基本一致,它们可以作为对土壤SOC影响的评价指标,与SOC的相关系数大小排序依次为MBCROCMBC/SOCROC/SOC,在表征土壤有机碳变化上它们比SOC更敏感,其灵敏度排序为MBCROC/SOCMBC/SOCROC,因此,在ROC,MBC,ROC/SOC,MBC/SOC等指标中,MBC更要值得重视和采用.     

土地利用方式变化对土壤养分与有机碳、氮的影响

对云南省双江县不同土地利用方式下的表层土壤进行的实地调查研究表明:随土地利用方式从自然林地(对照)变为灌丛草地、经济林地、农耕地,土壤自然含水量、pH值和水解N、速效P、速效K含量逐渐降低,且部分达到显著水平(p0.05),变化程度为农地经济林地灌草地自然林地,土壤SOC、TN含量也明显降低并达到显著水平(p0.05)(除灌草地SOC外),土壤碳密度相应减小。     

高寒草地灌丛化对土壤团聚体稳定性及有机碳分布特征的影响

灌丛化是草地生态系统面临的重大生态环境问题之一,是影响高寒草地土壤碳库储量的重要因素。采集青藏高原灌丛化和未灌丛化草地土壤样本,用Cambardella和Elliott湿筛法和沉降虹吸法测定土壤团聚体含量及其稳定性、有机碳(SOC)和全氮(TN)含量,分析了草地灌丛化对土壤团聚体数量及其稳定性的影响。结果表明,灌丛化和未灌丛化草地土壤团聚体以2～0.25 mm粒径为主,但灌丛化草地土壤微团聚体(≤0.053 mm)含量显著低于未灌丛化草地,表明草地灌丛化主要影响土壤微团聚体而对大团聚体含量影响不显著。灌丛化草地土壤团聚体稳定性低于未灌丛化草地土壤,表明草地灌丛化后土壤结构稳定性降低。灌丛化草地土壤SOC和TN含量显著低于未灌丛化草地土壤,说明在气候变化影响下高寒草地灌丛化可能会降低土壤碳库储量。     

保护性耕作对土壤微生物特性及酶活性的影响

大田试验研究了保护性耕作对土壤微生物量、活跃微生物量、土壤呼吸、呼吸商、土壤酶的影响。结果表明，秸秆还田能够显著提高土壤微生物量碳和活跃微生物量，深松耕还田能显著提高土壤活跃微生物量。随耕作作业之后时间的推迟，活跃生物量减小。秸秆还田初期（小麦越冬期）能显著提高土壤呼吸作用，提高99．7％；后期（小麦播种期）能显著降低土壤呼吸，降低16．6％。随耕作作业之后时间的推迟，秸秆还田和保护性耕作都会减少农田向大气中CO2的排放，减少土壤碳库的亏损。深松耕还田显著提高土壤脲酶、蔗糖酶活性。土壤呼吸和土壤活跃微生物量是衡量土壤微生物特性和土壤酶的较好指标。     

保护性耕作对潮土不同组分有机碳、氮的影响

为深入了解保护性耕作对土壤不同组分有机碳、氮的影响,本试验以北方潮土为研究对象,研究不同耕作方式下土壤轻组组分(LF)、重组组分(HF)以及各组分有机碳、氮(LFC、LFN、HFC、HFN)的变化。采用密度为1.7 g cm-3的碘化钾重液将土壤分离为轻组和重组。结果表明,0~20 cm土层,不同耕作方式下,土壤轻组有机碳(LFC)含量介于38.91~94.89 g kg-1之间,为土壤总有机碳(TOC)的6.89%~33.17%;轻组氮(LFN)含量介于1.03~3.47 g kg-1之间。耕作扰动导致土壤轻组有机碳、氮的损失,随着翻耕频率的增加,LF、LFC、LFN的含量显著降低;秸秆还田为土壤提供外源有机物,显著提高了土壤LFC和LFN的含量。轻组主要集中在土壤表层,随着土层深度的增加,LF、LFC、LFN的含量呈递减的趋势。由于轻组的C/N比值显著高于重组和原土,因此轻组对耕作制度和土层深度的变化更敏感。不同耕作制度下HF、HFC、HFN的含量变化不明显。少免耕能减少土壤有机碳、氮的损失,秸秆能补充土壤碳库,提高土壤氮含量,因此保护性耕作对提高土壤有机碳库,尤其对土壤轻组有机碳、氮的累积具有积极的作用。     

土壤活性有机碳不同组分对保护性耕作的响应

为分析保护性耕作措施对旱作农田土壤活性有机碳的影响以及对土壤有机碳的敏感响应指标进行归纳总结,探讨适合西南丘陵区紫色土农田生态系统在保护性耕作下的有机碳分组方法和活性碳有效指标提供科学依据,进而为土壤固碳减排、提高土壤质量奠定理论基础。在重庆北碚西南大学试验农场对平作(traditional tillage,T)、垄作(ridge tillage,R)、平作+秸秆覆盖(traditional tillage+straw mulching,TS)和垄作+秸秆覆盖(ridge tillage+straw mulching,RS)4种处理下、西南紫色土丘陵区"旱三熟"种植模式下的土壤总有机碳(Total soil organic carbon,TOC)、颗粒有机碳(Particulate organic carbon,POC)、水溶性有机碳(Dissolved organic carbon,DOC)、易氧化有机碳(Readily oxidized organic carbon,ROC)、可矿化有机碳(Mineralized organic carbon,MOC)以及微生物量有机碳(Microbial biomass carbon,MBC)进行了测定和分析。结果表明,秸秆覆盖不仅增加了表层土壤的TOC,也有利于20cm以上的耕层TOC的增加,而垄作对TOC的影响很小。秸秆覆盖处理下各土层POC均显著高于传统耕作,而单纯的垄作处理对5cm以下土层的POC没有影响,却显著地降低了0-5cm土层POC含量。DOC含量随土层的加深逐渐降低,且不同处理的差异主要出现在表层0-5cm土壤中,5cm以下土壤的DOC含量不易受到耕作措施的影响。TS、RS与对照相比均显著提高0-5cm土层的ROC含量,R与T之间差异不显著,秸秆覆盖只对土壤表层ROC影响很大。T、R、TS、RS处理全年日均土壤呼吸分别为1.84,1.65,2.22,2.21μmol/(m2·s),年土壤呼吸总量分别为696.31,624.41,840.12,836.33g/m2。与对照相比,垄作对土壤呼吸的影响不大,秸秆覆盖加速了土壤呼吸速率。秸秆覆盖处理显著提高了MBC含量,而垄作处理的影响不大。MBC与土壤呼吸速率呈显著正相关,R2介于0.756~0.919之间,P0.05。通过对土壤总有机碳及各组分之间的相关分析分析结果显示,TOC、POC、DOC和ROC在0-5cm土层表现显著的正相关,其他土层没有明显的规律。TOC、POC、DOC、ROC和MBC对耕作措施的响应变化基本一致,表现为对垄作处理的响应不显著,而受秸秆覆盖的影响很大,其中颗粒有机碳占总有机碳的35.74%~49.66%,二者显著正相关,可以作为反映土壤有机碳变化的敏感指标。     

保护性耕作对太行山前平原土壤质量的影响

保护性耕作被认为是华北平原农业可持续发展的重要措施, 但目前缺乏这些措施对土壤质量影响的系统报道。本研究以长期定位试验为基础, 探讨了太行山前平原两熟制高产农田不同耕作措施对麦田土壤质量的影响。试验始于2001 年, 设置翻耕玉米秸秆不还田(非保护性耕作对照, CK)、翻耕玉米秸秆粉碎还田(CT)、旋耕玉米秸秆粉碎还田(RT)和免耕玉米秸秆直立还田(NT)4 个处理。2007 年冬小麦收获后分层测定土壤有机碳(soil organic carbon, SOC)含量、容重(ρ_b)、水稳性团聚体、水分特征曲线、饱和导水率(K_s)和微生物量碳氮。2008 年测定了剖面SOC 含量、ρ_b 和蚯蚓数量。结果表明, 连续多年保护性耕作后土壤剖面的SOC 储量无显著变化, 但保护性耕作(RT 和NT)下SOC 的层化比率(1.74~2.04)显著高于翻耕处理(CK 和CT, 1.37~1.45); 保护性耕作显著提高了表层微生物量碳、氮含量以及单位面积土壤中的蚯蚓数量。NT 处理导致耕层(0~20 cm)土壤ρ_b 增加, 但提高了土壤团聚体的稳定性。CK 和CT 处理显著增加了0~5 cm 土层裂隙(>500 μm)和传输孔隙(500~50 μm)的比例, 而NT 处理则增加储水孔隙(50~0.5 μm)的含量。另外, 保护性耕作提高了土壤的K_s、田间持水量和有效水含量。对土壤质量指标S 的分析结果表明, 实施保护性耕作后, 太行山前平原地区土壤质量总体上得到改善。     

地中海地区保护性耕作对土壤碳素动力学特性的影响

Intensity of tillage practices can enhance organic matter decomposition, increasing CO2 emissions from soil to the atmosphere. Conservation tillage （CT） has been proposed as a means of counteracting potential damages to the environment. In this study the effects of two CT systems, reduced tillage in a long-term experiment （RTL） and no-tillage in a short-term experiment （NTs）, were compared to traditional tillage （TT） in the long （TTL） and short-term experiments （TTs）. CO2 fluxes, total soil organic carbon （SOC） and dehydrogenase activity （DHA） were evaluated at 0-5, 5-10 and 10-15 cm depths throughout the three years studied （Oct. 2006 Jul. 2009）. Traditional tillage increased C02 emissions compared to CT. The CT treatments （RTL and NTs） accumulated more SOC in the surface layer （0 5 cm） than the TT treatments （TTL and TTs）. SOC accumulation was moderate but DHA consistently increased in CT in the surface soil, especially with a legume crop included in the crop rotation. Values of stratification ratio of all parameters studied were higher in the CT treatments （RTL and NTs）. The agricultural and environmental benefits derived from CT make this system recommendable for semi-arid Mediterranean rain-fed agriculture.     

长期不同施肥和土地利用方式对塿土耕层碳储量的影响

利用土20年长期肥料定位试验研究了不同土地利用方式和施肥对土壤有机碳和无机碳储量变化的影响。试验包括休闲（Fallow, FL）、 撂荒（Setaside, SL）、 不施肥（CK）、 单施氮（N）、 氮钾（NK）、 磷钾（PK）、 氮磷（NP）、 氮磷钾（NPK）、 氮磷钾配合秸秆还田（SNPK）、 氮磷钾配合低量有机肥（M1NPK）和氮磷钾配合高量有机肥（M2NPK）11个处理。结果表明,CK和 FL 处理等质量耕层土壤有机碳储量仍维持在试验前水平,NP和 SL 处理显著提高了耕层土壤有机碳储量,年均增加分别达到 347 kg/hm2 和518 kg/hm2, 此4个处理等质量耕层土壤无机碳储量均较试验开始前（Initial soil, IniS）显著下降,尤其是NP处理显著低于其它3个处理。与IniS和CK相比,除NK处理外的所有施肥处理均显著地提高了等质量耕层土壤有机碳储量,其大小顺序为 M2NPKM1NPKSNPKNPKNPPKN,最大年均增加量为M2NPK 944 kg/hm2,最小为N 127 kg/hm2。施肥处理除PK和M2NPK处理外,其它处理等质量耕层土壤无机碳储量均较试验前明显降低,可能是由于土壤酸化所致。PK和M2NPK处理无机碳储量能够维持不下降,表明土壤无机碳和有机碳在适合条件下可能有某种关系。试验结果还显示,长期试验20年除M1NPK和M2NPK处理外,其它处理耕层土壤容重均明显高于试验开始前,表明等质量土壤碳储量与等深度碳储量相比可以更好地反映土壤碳的变化。     

Soil organic carbon as affected by land use in young and old reclaimed regions of a coastal estuary wetland,China

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and selected soil properties were measured in fringe and ditch marshes and cropland of old and young reclaimed areas in a subtropical estuary in China in order to investigate the effects of land use and reclamation history on SOC. The results show that after the conversion of wetlands to cropland, a longer reclamation history (>20 yr) resulted in greater soil bulk density, salinity, clay and silt, and lower soil moisture, SOC and sand content, whereas a shorter reclamation history (<20 yr) induced smaller values for soil pH, moisture and sand. Ditch marshes had greater average SOC in the top 50 cm than fringe marshes and cropland. SOC decreased generally down soil profiles from 0 to 50 cm in depth, except for the obvious accumulation of SOC in deeper soils from old fringe and young ditch marshes. Ditch marshes had the greatest SOC densities in the top 50 cm in both regions compared to the other land uses. SOC densities in the top 50 cm were less in croplands than in fringe marshes in the young region, while there were no significant differences between them in the older one. Except for cropland, SOC densities in the top 50 cm of the fringe or ditch marshes in the old region were not significantly different from those in the young region. SOC in both regions was reduced by 13.53 × 10⁴ t (12.98%) in the top 50 cm of the marshes after conversion to cropland, whereas the regional SOC storage increased by 29.25 t when ditch marshes were included. The results from regression analysis show that bulk density and soil moisture significantly influenced SOC. The total SOC stored in both ditch marshes and croplands was higher compared to fringe marshes. The regional SOC storage in the top 50 cm was not reduced after reclamation due to C accumulation in the ditch marshes. The regional effects of cultural practices should be taken into account in devising strategies for managing soils in coastal wetlands, particularly in the developing world.     

Soil chemical properties of an Indonesian red acid soil as affected by land use and crop management

In the middle terrace area of south Sumatra, Indonesia, where red acid soils poor in crop productivity are widely distributed, the effects of cropping pattern and cultivation techniques on physico-chemical properties of soil were investigated. Five patterns for cassava cropping, including monoculture, a rotation with annual food crops, and three intercroppings with differences in the combination with annual crops and in the planting density, were evaluated in Experiment I. In Experiment II, eight plots composed of the combinations of two tillage methods (no-tillage or conventional tillage), the presence or absence of surface mulch from crop residues, and two rates of chemical fertilizers were established for a maize–soybean–cowpea sequential cropping pattern. At the end of 3 years, there was no difference in total C and total N concentrations among the plots in Experiment I irrespective of the mulch treatment using crop residues. Soil organic matter (SOM) concentration was not affected even in the no-tillage plot where the maximum crop residues (20 t ha⁻¹) was given as surface mulch with the increased root residues due to higher rates of fertilizers (Experiment II). In Experiment I, available P concentration was highest in an intercropping with higher fertilizer rates and lowest cassava planting density. In Experiment II, an increase in available P was attained by mulching and the higher rate of fertilizers, and a minor positive effect of fertilizer was also observed in exchangeable Mg and K concentrations. Surface mulch resulted in less clay fraction compared with the non-mulch plots in both the experiments, suggesting its effect on the maintenance of soil particle distribution. An additional finding suggested no prominent influence of cassava monoculture on the level of SOM in this area based on the comparison with other major land uses, including secondary forest, rubber plantation, and mixed cultivation of fruits with crops. Nevertheless, the introduction of crop residue mulch and higher rates of fertilizers are recommended for sustaining soil quality and achieving higher crop yields.     

黄土高原半干旱区不同土地利用下的土壤有机碳、碳组分和土壤营养

Cropland (CP), native grassland (NG) and two shrub land treatments which were converted from cropland in 1985:seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L. ) (ST), and branchytamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima) (BT) were investigated to evaluate effects of land use conversion on soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil nutrients in the semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau of China. Total organic carbon (TOC), light fraction organic carbon (LFOC), heavy fraction organic carbon (HFOC), total N (TN), nitrate nitrogen (NO₃^--N) and nitrite nitrogen (NO₂^--N), ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N), total P, and available P (AP) were measured. The results showed that SOC in NG, ST and BT were 12.7%, 27.7% and 34.8% higher than that of the cropland, respectively. LFOC, light fraction (LF) dry matter, ratio of TOC to TN (C/N) and the ratio of TOC to AP (C/P) were higher in the shrub land or native grassland than in the cropland. Cropland had the highest TN, the sum of NO₃^--N and NO₂^--N, TP and AP due to the use of chemical fertilizers. TOC significantly correlated with LFOC, HFOC and C/N. LFOC significantly correlated with dry matter of the LF and C/N. TN, the sum of NO₃^--N and NO₂^--N and AP were significantly negatively correlated with TOC and LFOC. Therefore, land use conversion from cropland to shrub land, or maybe grassland, contributed to SOC sequestration and improved soil nutrients stabilization.     

Rice yield and water use as affected by soil management practices

A field experiment was conducted at the Shenyang Experimental Station of Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,to study the effects of soil management practices on water use and rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield in an axtuic brown soil during 2001 and 2002. A completely random experimental design with three replications was employed, having four soil management practices as treatments, namely: an undisturbed plow layer (CK), a thin plastic film (TN), a thick plastic film (TI) and subsoil compacting (CP). Results indicated no significant differences among all treatments for rice biomass and grain yields. Also, water consumption was about the same for treatments TN and CK, however the treatments TI and CP were much lower with more than 45% and 40% of the irrigation water in the treatments TI and CP, respectively,saved each year compared to CK. Therefore, water use efficiency was higher in the treatments TI and CP. These results will provide a scientific basis for the water-saving rice cultivation.     

不同利用方式对棕壤有机碳垂直分布的影响

采用野外采样和室内分析的方法研究了林地、园地、耕地3种利用方式对典型棕壤总有机碳(TOC)、颗粒有机碳(POC)及重组有机碳(HFOC)在0～20 cm、20～40 cm、40～60 cm 3层次中垂直分布的影响。结果表明,与林地相比,园地和耕地各层次的TOC含量和储量均显著下降;其分布份额和分布比则为园地中、下层略向上层转移,耕地则明显向中、下层转移。3种利用方式下POC的相对数量均随土层加深而递减,林地开垦为园地和耕地后,POC的相对数量仅在园地上、中层显著降低,分别减少6.67和1.70个百分点,而耕地则各层次均显著降低,其相对数量分别减少13.65、5.43和3.03个百分点;HFOC的相对数量随干预强度和土层深度增加而增大,耕地和园地比林地分别高出:上层5.77和4.00个百分点、中层10.44和6.40个百分点、下层7.35和3.92个百分点,且差异均显著。因此,将林地棕壤开垦为园地或耕地后应注重有机物料的投入,以减缓因开垦对有机碳所造成的损失和不尽合理的分布状况。     

Transport of labile carbon in runoff as affected by land use and rainfall characteristics

The mobilization of organic carbon (C) by water erosion could impact the terrestrial C budget, but the magnitude and direction of that impact remain uncertain due to a lack of data regarding the fates and quality of eroded C. A study was conducted to monitor total organic C and mineralizable C (MinC) in eroded materials from watersheds under no till (NT), chisel till (CT), disk till low input (DT-LI), pasture and forest. The DT-LI treatment relies on manure application and legume cover crops to partly supply the N needed when corn is grown, and on cultivation to reduce the use of herbicides. Each watershed was instrumented with a flume and a Coshocton wheel sampler for runoff measurement. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) evolved during incubation (115 days) of runoff samples was fitted to a first-order decomposition model to derive MinC. Annual soil (6.2 Mg ha⁻¹) and organic C (113.8 kg C ha⁻¹) losses were twice as much in the DT-LI than in the other watersheds (<2.7 Mg soil ha⁻¹, <60 kg C ha⁻¹). More than management practices, rainfall class (based on intensity and energy) was a better controller of sediment C concentration and biodegradability. Sediment collected during the low-intensity (fall/winter) storms contained more organic C (37 g C kg⁻¹) and MinC (30–40% of sediment C) than materials displaced during the high-intensity summer storms (22.1 g C kg⁻¹ and 13%, respectively). These results suggest a more selective detachment and sorting of labile C fractions during low-intensity storms. However, despite the control of low-intensity storm on sediment C concentration and quality, increased soil loss with high-energy rainfall suggests that a few infrequent but high-energy storms could determine the overall impact of erosional events on terrestrial C cycling.     

基于GIS的土壤有机碳储量核算及其对土地利用变化的响应

土地利用变化是影响土壤有机碳储量变化的重要驱动因素,为了进一步探讨土地利用变化对土壤碳储量的影响,该文根据土壤样点数据、土壤类型图、土地利用类型图,分析了江苏省1985年和2005年表层土壤有机碳密度的变化以及土地利用变化对表层土壤有机碳密度的影响,主要结论如下：1）江苏省表层土壤有机密度的空间变化趋势为：黄淮平原生态区南北差异明显,北部的沂沭泗平原丘岗以增加为主,南部的淮河下游平原以减少为主;沿海滩涂与海洋生态区持平为主;而长江三角洲平原生态区表现不一：沿江平原丘岗生态亚区以增加为主,而茅山宜溧低山丘陵生态亚区和太湖水网生态亚区均表现为有机碳密度的减少;2）各地类表层土壤有机碳密度均有所增加;耕地-林地、草地;草地-林地、建设用地;建设用地-耕地、草地、林地;水域的转出以及未利用地的转出等转换类型有利于土壤碳储量的增加、其他地类间的转换会造成一定的碳排放。     

Soil respiration and carbon balance of gray forest soils as affected by land use

 Soil respiration was measured by closed chamber and gradient methods in soils under forest, sown meadow and crops. Annual total soil respiration determined with the closed chamber method ranged from 180 to 642 g CO₂-C m^–2 year^–1 and from 145 to 382 g CO₂-C m^–2 year^–1 determined with the CO₂ profile method. Soil respiration increased in the order: cropland<sown meadow<forest. The C balance calculated as the difference between net primary production (sink) and respiration of heterotrophs (source) suggested an equilibrium between the input and output of C in the cropland, and sequestration of 135 and 387 g CO₂-C m^–2 year^–1 in the forest and meadow, respectively.

Soil aggregate stability and aggregate-associated organic carbon under different land use or land cover types

Soil aggregate stability (SAS) is an indicator for soil condition and is greatly influenced by land use or land cover (LULC) type and other soil and environmental attributes. This study investigated the soil aggregate-size distribution, SAS, aggregate-associated organic carbon (AAOC) and the relative importance of factors affecting SAS and AAOC. Based on conditioned Latin hypercube sampling, soil aggregate samples were collected from the “A” horizon and wet sieved into large macroaggregates (>2.0 mm), small macroaggregates (0.25–2.0 mm), microaggregates (0.053–0.25 mm) and mineral fraction (<0.053 mm). The large macroaggregates accounted for 86% to 93% of the total aggregates under all LULC types except under dry land (64%) and paddy land (35%). The SAS under different LULC decreased in the order fir > shrubland > natural grassland > orchard > blue pine > broadleaf > mixed conifer > dry land > paddy land. The AAOC of the large macroaggregates constituted for 76%–90% of the total AAOC under all LULC types except under dry land (65%) and paddy land (38%). While SAS was largely influenced by the AAOC of small macroaggregates, microaggregates and large macroaggregates and LULC type, the AAOC of different aggregate fractions was mostly affected by LULC type, altitude and slope. SAS did not exhibit any significant relationship with the AAOC of different aggregate fractions under the natural LULC types but showed a strong relationship under the agricultural land indicating that AAOC is more critical for SAS under the agricultural land than under the natural LULC.
