通过在不同环境条件的土壤中接入异丙隆降解菌悬液,研究了Sphingobium属的3株细菌—YBL1、YBL2和YBL3在土壤中降解异丙隆的特性,分析了土壤类型、温度、碳氮源、土壤含水量和菌株接种量等因素对3株细菌降解土壤中异丙隆的影响。结果表明,3株细菌在马肝土(pH 6.7)中能够高效降解异丙隆,在红壤(pH 4.5)中不能降解异丙隆,菌株YBL3在潮土(pH 8.2)中也有较好的降解效果;当接种量低于105CFU g-1土时,3株细菌均不能降解马肝土中的异丙隆,接种量高于106CFU g-1土时,菌株可以高效地降解土壤中的异丙隆;马肝土含水量低于40%时,3株细菌降解土壤中异丙隆的速率与土壤含水量呈正相关关系;在16~37℃范围内,菌株降解马肝土中异丙隆的速率与温度亦呈正相关关系。     

Field-scale study of the variability in pesticide biodegradation with soil depth and its relationship with soil characteristics

The extent of within-field spatial variability of pesticide degradation was characterised in topsoil and subsoil, using the compounds isoproturon, bentazone and mecoprop, which are major contaminants of groundwater and surface freshwater in Europe. Twenty topsoil samples from 0 to 15 cm depth and twenty subsoil samples from 50 to 60 cm depth were collected from a single agricultural field within a 160×90 grid. It was shown that degradation rates of all compounds declined with soil depth. Variability of pesticide degradation rates, pesticide sorption and formation of non-extractable pesticide residues was higher in subsoil relative to topsoil. Furthermore, in the subsoil, there was variation in large scale soil physicochemical composition, which did not occur in topsoil. The greater variability in pesticide degradation rates in subsoil relative to topsoil could be the result of a greater range of degradation kinetics, which could reflect greater spatial variability in the distribution and/or activities of pesticide metabolising communities.     

异丙隆在土壤中的淋溶迁移及其影响因素研究

采用室内土壤淋洗柱法,以黄褐土、砂姜黑土和水稻土为供试土壤,研究了异丙隆在土壤中的淋溶迁移行为,探讨了淋溶水量、淋溶水pH值、施药量和添加外源木炭等因素对异丙隆在土壤中淋溶迁移的影响。结果表明,不同土壤中异丙隆淋出率为黄褐土〉砂姜黑土〉水稻土;淋溶水量与异丙隆的淋出率呈正相关,且对淋溶后异丙隆在土层中的分布有明显影响;用不同pH值的淋溶水时,异丙隆的淋出率为pH5〉pH9〉pH7;施加不同药量时,异丙隆的淋出率为10mg〉5mg〉20mg;异丙隆的淋出率随外源木炭添加量的增大而减小,而异丙隆在土壤柱中的滞留量则随着木炭添加量增大而增大,提示添加外源木炭可明显减少异丙隆在土壤中的淋出率,降低异丙隆在土壤中的淋溶深度。     

闽江河口不同淹水环境下典型湿地植物—土壤系统全硫含量空间分布特征

选择闽江河口鳝鱼滩湿地不同淹水环境下2条样带(A样带,远离主潮沟且退潮后无淹水;B样带,靠近主潮沟且退潮后有淹水)上的短叶茳芏、互花米草和扁穗沙草植被下的湿地为研究对象,探讨了湿地植物-土壤系统全硫(TS)含量的空间分布特征。结果表明,长期淹水环境在导致B样带同种植被类型下的湿地表层土壤的TS含量低于A样带的同时,也增强了不同植被类型下湿地之间0—40cm土层TS含量的水平变异性以及相同类型湿地土壤TS含量的垂直变异性。尽管长期淹水环境降低了B样带3种植被根的TS含量和累积系数,但增加了其地上器官及立枯体的TS含量和累积系数,并提高了其地上器官的硫分配比。对比研究表明,闽江河口3种湿地土壤和植物的TS含量在全国均处于较高水平,其值远高于三江平原淡水沼泽湿地、向海盐沼湿地以及华北海河流域湿地,但略低于南方红树林湿地。研究发现,淹水条件和土壤水分含量是导致A、B 2条样带相同类型湿地土壤TS含量差异的主导因素;淹水条件亦改变了湿地植物的硫分配格局,湿地植物可通过调整自身的硫吸收与累积状况来适应长期淹水环境。     

Changes in nitrogen supply along transects from farmland to calcareous grassland

In this study nutrient supply along transects from farmland to calcareous grasslands was investigated. The aim was to assess a gradient in nutrient supply parallel to the change in species composition. Net nitrogen mineralization was measured under field conditions and in a laboratory incubation experiment. The seasonal course of net N mineralization was determined by the increase of soil temperature in spring and changes in soil moisture during summer. In the farmland soils fertilization was also an important factor. Annual net N mineralization was highest in the moderately acid soils of the Rosenberg on the Lower Devonian schist. It was lowest in the soils of the transect near Erdorf on limestone. Two transects on dolomite took an intermediate position. At all study sites net N mineralization and the mineral nitrogen contents were higher in the peripheral zones of the calcareous grasslands than in the centre of the grasslands. In the base-rich soils of the three transects on limestone and dolomite annual net N mineralization varied in the calcareous grasslands between 4.6 and 61 mg/kg, in the peripheral zones between 35 and 190 mg/kg and in the farmland between 117 and 350 mg/kg. In the base-poor soils of the transect on Rosenberg it was 96 mg/kg in the calcareous grassland, 115–130 mg/kg in the boundary zone and 165 mg/kg in the meadow. It is presumed that the increase in nitrogen supply was caused by nutrient input from the adjacent farmland.     

Vertical distribution of soil properties under short‐rotation forestry in Northern Germany

Short‐rotation forestry (SRF) on arable soils has high potentials for biomass production and leads to long‐term no‐tillage management. In the present study, the vertical distributions of soil chemical and microbial properties after 15 y of SRF with willows and poplar (Salix and Populus spp.) in 3‐ and 6‐year rotations on an arable soil were measured and compared to a pertinent tilled arable site. Two transects at different positions in the relief (upper and lower slope; transect 1 and 2) were investigated. Short‐rotation forestry caused significant changes in the vertical distribution of all investigated soil properties (organic and microbial C, total and microbial N, soil enzyme activities), however, the dimension and location (horizons) of significant effects varied. The rotation periods affected the vertical distribution of the soil properties within the SRF significantly. In transect 1, SRF had higher organic‐C concentrations in the subsoil (Bv horizon), whereas in transect 2, the organic‐C concentrations were increased predominantly in the topsoil (Ah horizon). Sufficient plant supply of P and K in combination with decreased concentrations of these elements in the subsoil under SRF pointed to an effective nutrient mobilization and transfer from the deeper soil horizons even in the long term. In transect 1, the microbial‐C concentrations were higher in the B and C horizons and in transect 2 in the A horizons under SRF than under arable use. The activities of β‐glucosidases and acid phosphatases in the soil were predominantly lower under SRF than under arable use in the topsoil and subsoil. We conclude, that long‐term SRF on arable sites can contribute to increased C sequestration and changes in the vertical distribution of soil microbial biomass and soil enzyme activities in the topsoil and also in the subsoil.     

不同施肥条件下氯氰菊酯对土壤酶活性的影响及其降解差异

采用长期定位施肥试验土壤（轻壤质黄潮土），研究不同施肥条件下，氯氰菊酯降解变化和对土壤酶活性的影响。结果表明，不同的施肥处理对土壤中氯氰菊酯的降解行为有显著影响，长期施用氮肥，土壤中速效氮含量升高，对氯氰菊酯降解有抑制作用；施用磷肥则促进降解；施用有机肥在提高土壤有机质含量的同时，虽加速了氯氰菊酯降解，但降解延滞期和残留期有所增加。氯氰菊酯在土壤中的降解遵循一级动力学方程，降解半衰期为10．13d（PK）～14．58d（NK）。土壤中加入氯氰菊酯后，脱氢酶、脲酶活性有所升高，施肥处理不同，升高幅度也不一样．均达显著水平。磷酸酶活性变化在不同施肥处理中，表现不一样。培养26d左右，土壤酶活性大多都能恢复到初始水平。研究土壤中农药残留与施肥、土壤酶活性的关系，对于实现农业可持续发展具有重要意义。     

Microbial Degradation of Dimethylsilanediol in Soil

Dimethylsilanediol (DMSD) is the ultimate hydrolysis product of silicone (polydimethylsiloxane = PDMS) polymer in soil. Our previous paper showed that it would volatilize from soil, and the present study investigates the importance of microbial degradation in removing DMSD from soil. DMSD (¹⁴C-labeled) was thus incubated (1 mg kg^-1) for 30 wk at 25 °C in soils from a permanent grass field, a corn field, a deciduous woodland, and a pine woodland. Release of¹⁴ CO₂ varied from 0.4 to 1.6% wk^-1. For 3 of the soils, ¹⁴CO₂ increased with higher microbial biomass, while organisms in the deciduous woodland soil were more active in degrading DMSD than organisms in the other soils. After 30 weeks, most of the remaining ¹⁴C in the soil had moved from freely available water extractable to less available acid and base extractable fractions. Similar incubations with 2% plant litter showed extensive transfer of the DMSD into the litter layer. Incubations with a microbial inhibitor showed less DMSD degradation, while cold storage of soils almost completely stopped degradation. These results suggest that microbial degradation is an important mechanism of DMSD loss from soil.

Modelling the impacts of maize decomposition on glyphosate dynamics in mulch

The retention of crop residues as mulch on the soil surface in conservation agriculture systems greatly influences the fate of pesticides, as most of the applied pesticide is intercepted by mulch before moving to the soil. This work was conducted in order to model the effect of maize decomposition on glyphosate degradation in mulch and soil. Labelled ¹⁴C‐glyphosate degradation was monitored for 49 days in three treatments with the same soils but with maize residues at different stages of decomposition (0, 20 and 49 days). Fresh residues of maize (0 days) exhibited an evolution of their biochemical fractions to a greater extent than decomposed residues. Glyphosate mineralization was faster in the 0‐day treatment in mulch residues and in the soil layer below the mulch. However, a greater formation of non‐extractable residues (NERs) was observed in mulch residues and soils in the 20‐ and 49‐day treatments than in the 0‐day treatment. Modelling maize mulch decomposition with the COP‐soil model indicated that microbial activity was different in the three treatments and depended on the initial composition of maize residues. Glyphosate mineralization in mulch and soil can be simulated with an assumption of co‐metabolism by coupling the modules of pesticide degradation and mulch carbon decomposition. Glyphosate and its metabolites, including soluble and adsorbed fractions, were simulated with the same adsorption coefficients for all treatments. The simulation of NER formation, however, suggested that more than one microbial population may be involved in the degradation process and could be added in the future development of the model.     

Soil fauna across Central European sandstone ravines with temperature inversion: From cool and shady to dry and hot places

Sandstone massifs with their deep ravines or gorges offer the instructive opportunity to study the response of organisms to steep environmental gradients. In 2008–2010, many groups of soil fauna were studied along transects across three ravines in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (north-western Czech Republic), a part of the Elbe Sandstone Massif. Each transect included five sampling positions: two opposite edges, two opposite mid-slope positions, and the ravine bottom. The ravines had a specific microclimate characterized by temperature inversion. In general, the cooler and more humid ravine bottoms had also less acid soil with lower carbon content but enriched by litter of deciduous trees and herbs. The other transect positions were characterized by spruce (mid-slopes) and pine (edges) stands with mor humus, exposed to drought in the upper parts. The soil animal communities (identified to species level) differed substantially in dependence on their position along the transects. Ravine bottoms hosted a diverse soil fauna, including a rich macrofauna. The thick duff layer of acid soils on the slopes and edges hosted a poorer fauna but supported high densities of important decomposers such as enchytraeids, oribatid mites and microbivorous nematodes. In general, these were higher on the slopes, presumably due to the drought exposure of the edges. Vertical position in the ravine and soil pH were the most important factors explaining community composition. This confirmed that the area's high geomorphological diversity, leading to steep microclimatic gradients and heterogenous soil conditions, is a major cause of its high biodiversity. A shift in community structure in the lower parts of the ravines, observed after the first half of the study period, was possibly caused by summer flash floods. An increased frequency and severity of dry spells and flash floods due to heavy rains, predicted by relevant climate warming scenarios, will probably have an detrimental effect on the ravines'soil fauna.     

Soil Aluminum Distribution in the Near-Stream Zone at the Bear Brook Watershed in Maine

Near-stream and upslope soil chemical properties were analyzed to infer linkages between soil and surface water chemistry atthe Bear Brook Watershed in Maine [BBWM]. Organic and mineral soil samples were collected along six 20 m transects perpendicular to the stream and one 200 m transect parallel tothe stream. O horizon soils immediately adjacent to the streamhad a significantly higher pH (4.20) and lower soil organic matter percentage (54%) than upslope O horizons (3.84 and 76%,respectively). Additionally, near-stream O horizon soils hadsignificantly higher concentrations of water-soluble Al (2.7 ×),exchangeable Al (2.3 ×), and organically-bound Al (3.9 ×) andsignificantly lower concentrations of exchangeable Ca (0.4 ×) than O horizons upslope. These results suggest that Al can accumulate in non-hydric near-stream zone soils at this site. Mobilization of labile Al from near-stream zone soils duringhydrologic events could play a key role in explaining controls on Al in stream water at BBWM.     

Transformation of [14C] and [35S]labeled lignosulfonates during soil incubation

[¹⁴C] and [³⁵S]labeled lignosulfonates (LS) or [¹⁴C]labeled coniferyl alcohol dehydropolymer (DHP) were aerobically incubated in soil for 17 weeks. Respiratory ¹⁴CO₂ was compared with that from DHP or that from [U¹⁴C]cellulose. Less CO₂ was released from ring and side chain carbons of LS than from DHP, though similar amounts of CO₂ were released from the methoxyl groups of both compounds. After incubation, the soil samples were exhaustively extracted with water and then with a sodium pyrophosphate-NaOH solution. The water solubility of the originally completely-soluble LS carbons was greatly decreased by incubation, and a large portion of the extracted ³⁵S was detected as sulfate. The pyrophosphate extract was separated into humic and fulvie acids. The humic acid from soils incubated with LS contained low ³⁵S activity and a similar ¹⁴C activity to that from soils incubated with DHP. The fulvic acid from the soils incubated with LS contained higher amounts of ¹⁴C (and ³⁵S) than that of the soils incubated with DHP. More side chain ¹⁴C activity than other ¹⁴C activity was found in both, the water extract and the fulvic acid from soils incubated with LS. The high ³⁵S together with the high side chain ¹⁴C activity probably indicates an elimination of the side chain carbons together with sulfonic acid groups. Anaerobic incubation of soil with LS or DHP promoted breakdown and incorporation of LS and DHP into humus much less than aerobic incubation. The possible reduction in potential pollution from lignosulfonates due to the observed transformations in soil are discussed.     

Tillage-induced CO2 loss across an eroded landscape

Soil carbon (C) losses and soil translocation from tillage operations have been identified as causes of soil degradation and soil erosion. The objective of this work was to quantify the variability in tillage-induced carbon dioxide (CO₂) loss by moldboard (MP) and chisel (CP) plowing across an eroded landscape and relate the C loss to soil properties. The study site was a 4 ha wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Marshall) field with rolling topography and five soil types in the Svea-Barnes complex in west central Minnesota (N. Latitude = 45°41′W, Longitude = 95°43′). Soil properties were measured at several depths at a 10 m spacing along north–south (N–S) and west–east (W–E) transects through severely eroded, moderately eroded and non-eroded sites. Conventional MP (25 cm deep) and CP (15 cm deep) equipment were used along the pre-marked transects. Gas exchange measurements were obtained with a large, portable chamber within 2 m of each sample site following tillage. The measured CO₂ fluxes were largest with the MP > CP > not tilled (before tillage). The variation in 24 h cumulative CO₂ flux from MP was nearly 3-fold on the N–S transect and 4-fold on the W–E transect. The surface soil organic C on the transects was lowest on the eroded knolls at 5.1 g C kg⁻¹ and increased to 19.6 g C kg⁻¹ in the depositional areas. The lowest CO₂ fluxes were measured from severely eroded sites which indicated that the variation in CO₂ loss was partially reflected by the degradation of soil properties caused by historic tillage-induced soil translocation with some wind and water erosion.

The spatial variation across the rolling landscape complicates the determination of non-point sources of soil C loss and suggests the need for improved conservation tillage methods to maintain soil and air quality in agricultural production systems.     

How increasing availabilities of carbon and nitrogen affect atrazine behaviour in soils

 The effect of increasing amounts of glucose and mineral N on the behaviour of atrazine was studied in two soils. One had been exposed to atrazine under field conditions (adapted soil), the other had not (non-adapted soil), resulting, respectively, in an accelerated degradation of atrazine in the adapted soil and in a slow degradation of the herbicide in the non-adapted soil. The dissipation of ¹⁴C-atrazine via degradation and formation of non-extractable "bound" residues was followed during laboratory incubations in soils supplemented or not with increasing amounts of glucose and mineral N. In both soils, glucose added at rates of up to 16 g C kg^–1 soil did not modify atrazine mineralization but increased the formation of bound residues; this was probably due to the retention of atrazine by the growing microbial biomass. Atrazine dealkylation was enhanced when a large amount of glucose was added. In both soils, the addition of the largest dose of mineral N (2.5 g N kg^–1 soil) decreased atrazine mineralization. The simultaneous addition of glucose and mineral N enhanced their effects. When the largest doses of mineral N and glucose were added, atrazine mineralization stopped in both soils, and the proportion of bound residues increased. Glucose and mineral N additions influenced atrazine mineralization to a greater extent in the adapted soil than in the non-adapted one, as revealed by ANOVA, although glucose addition had a greater effect than N. The competition for space and nutrients between atrazine-degrading microorganisms and the total heterotrophic microflora probably contributed to the decrease in atrazine mineralization.

除草剂莠去津和灭草松单用和混用在土壤中的降解

The application of a mixture of bentazone （3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4（3H）-one-2,2-dioxide） and atrazine （6-chloro-N2-ethyl-N4-isopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine） is a practical approach to enhance the herbicidal effect. Laboratory incubation experiments were performed to study the degradation of bentazone and atrazine applied in combination and individually in maize rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. After a lag phase, the degradation of each individual herbicide in the non-autoclaved soil could be adequately described using a first-order kinetic equation. During a 30-d incubation, in the autoclaved rhizosphere soil, bentazone and atrazine did not noticeably degrade, but in the non-autoclaved soil, they rapidly degraded in both non-rhizosphere and rhizosphere soils with half-lives of 19.9 and 20.2 d for bentazone and 29.1 and 25.7 d for atrazine, respectively. The rhizosphere effect significantly enhanced the degradation of atrazine, but had no significant effect on bentazone. These results indicated that biological degradation accounted for the degradation of both herbicides in the soil. When compared with the degradation of the herbicide applied alone, the degradation rates of the herbicides applied in combination in the soils were lower and the lag phase increased. With the addition of a surfactant, Tween-20, a reduced lag phase of degradation was observed for both herbicides applied in combination. The degradation rate of bentazone accelerated, whereas that of atrazine remained nearly unchanged. Thus, when these two herbicides were used simultaneously, their persistence in the soil was generally prolonged, and the environmental contamination potential increased.     

Degradation of pesticides in biobeds: the effect of concentration and pesticide mixtures

Biobeds aim to create an environment whereby any pesticide spills are retained and then degraded, thus reducing the potential for surface or groundwater contamination. Biobeds may receive high concentrations of relatively complex mixtures of pesticides. The effects of concentration and pesticide interaction on degradation rate were therefore investigated. At concentrations up to 20 times the maximum recommended application rate for isoproturon and chlorothalonil, the rate of degradation in topsoil and biomix decreased with increasing concentration. With the exception of isoproturon at concentrations above 11 mg kg(-1), degradation was quicker in biomix (a composted mixture of topsoil, compost, and wheat straw) than in topsoil. One possible explanation for faster isoproturon degradation in topsoil as compared to biomix may be that previous treatments of isoproturon applied to the field soil as part of normal agricultural practices had resulted in proliferation of microbial communities specifically adapted to use isoproturon as an energy source. Such microbial adaptation could enhance the performance of a biobed. Studies with a mixture of isoproturon and chlorothalonil showed that interactions between pesticides are possible. In biomix, the degradation of either isoproturon or chlorothalonil was unaffected by the presence of the other pesticide, whereas in topsoil, isoproturon DT(50) values increased from 18.5 to 71.5 days in the presence of chlorothalonil. These studies suggest that biobeds appear capable of treating high concentrations of more than one pesticide.
