黑碳添加对土壤有机碳矿化的影响

通过室内培养试验,向土壤中分别添加不同温度制备的黑碳,热解温度分别为350℃(T350)、600℃(T600)和850℃(T850),研究了黑碳添加对土壤有机碳矿化的影响。结果表明,不同温度条件制备的黑碳在15℃和25℃培养条件下,土壤CO2释放速率总的趋势是前期分解速率快,后期缓慢。在整个培养过程中(112天),随着培养时间的延长,土壤CO2释放速率下降趋势逐渐降低,CO2释放速率相对值的大小随着培养温度的的升高而增大。在不同温度培养条件下,添加黑碳后土壤CO2-C累计量均是T350>T600>T850,T350土壤CO2-C累计量最高分别为415.26 mg/kg和733.82 mg/kg。添加不同黑碳后,土壤有机碳矿化增加率存在极显著差异(p<0.01),表明不同温度制备的黑碳对土壤有机碳矿化的影响显著。     

可溶性有机碳的含量动态及其与土壤有机碳矿化的关系

采用我国东部地区的黑土、潮土、黄泥土和红壤水稻土,通过室内分析和培育试验,研究了不同水分条件下可溶性有机碳含量及土壤有机碳矿化量的动态变化,分析了淹水导致可溶性有机碳含量的变化程度及其对土壤有机碳矿化量的可能影响.结果表明,可溶性有机碳含量与水土比呈直线相关关系,累计提取量随浸提时间增加,单次提取量随提取次数降低.在8周的培养期内,淹水处理的可溶性有机碳含量均显著高于好气处理,黄泥土一号高46%～117%(p＜0.05),黄泥土二号高112%～285%(p＜0.001),潴育黄泥田高21%～73%(p＜0.05).在培养的前3周(黄泥土一号)或前4周(黄泥土二号),不同水分处理的日均土壤有机碳矿化量有极显著差异(p＜0.01),其后,差异不显著;但在整个培养过程中,淹水处理的累计土壤有机碳矿化量均极显著高于好气处理(p＜0.01).培养过程中,土壤有机碳的矿化速率动态与可溶性有机碳含量的变化趋势相一致,特别是黄泥土二号,可溶性有机碳含量与土壤有机碳日均矿化量达到极显著的相关关系(好气相关系数0.942,淹水相关系数0.975).结果还表明,两种黄泥土有机碳矿化量(包括日均矿化量和累计矿化量)的差异并不与全土有机碳含量相关,而主要是其可溶性有机碳含量明显不同所致.因此,对于原土可溶性有机碳含量较高的土壤,淹水显著提高可溶性有机碳量是导致其土壤有机碳矿化量高于好气处理的主要原因.     

水热对三峡水库消落带退耕稻田土壤有机碳矿化的影响

采用模拟培养的方法,研究了不同水热条件对三峡水库消落带退耕稻田土壤有机碳(SOC)矿化的影响。试验共设3个培养温度(10、20和30℃)和4个水分梯度(40%田间持水量(WHC)、70%WHC、100%WHC和浅层淹水)。结果表明:1在66天培养期内,各培养温度(10~30℃)下,70%WHC、100%WHC和浅层淹水处理之间的SOC累积矿化量均无明显差异,其中10℃培养时40%WHC处理下的累积矿化量要显著低于70%WHC和100%WHC水分处理(P0.05),但与浅层淹水无明显差异,而20℃和30℃培养时40%WHC处理下的累积矿化量则要显著低于其他水分处理,表明相较于70%WHC的水分处理,40%WHC水分处理会抑制消落带退耕稻田SOC矿化,而高水分(100%WHC和浅层淹水)对SOC矿化则无明显促进和抑制作用。2在相同水分条件下,消落带退耕稻田SOC累积矿化量均随培养温度升高而增加。3高温下各水分处理之间的温度敏感性无显著差异,而低温下水分对温度敏感性有显著影响,低温浅层淹水处理下的Q10为2.33,显著高于40%WHC处理,与70%WHC和100%WHC处理之间无明显差异。且随着温度升高,浅层淹水下消落带退耕稻田SOC矿化的温度敏感性显著降低,而在土壤含水量≤100%WHC下则无明显变化。温度和水分均能显著影响SOC矿化,但二者无明显的交互效应。4双库一级矿化动力学模型拟合结果表明,水分和温度通过影响消落带退耕稻田土壤易分解有机碳含量和难分解有机碳的矿化速率,从而影响SOC矿化。     

Water erosion risk assessment and impact on productivity of a Venezuelan soil

Soil losses affect the physical, chemical and biological soil properties and as a consequence reduce soil productivity. Erosion reduces or eliminates root-explorable soil depth and crop available water, selectively decreases the nutrient and organic matter content, and exposes soil layers with unsuitable characteristics for crop growth. Yield is hence assumed to be a function of root growth, which in turn is a function of the soil environment. In order to evaluate the water erosion impact on soil properties and productivity, a study was carried out on a Typic Haplustalfs soil, with sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench), located in Chaguaramas in the Central Plains of Venezuela. Four different study locations with the same soil type, with slopes ranging from 3% to 6% and with different levels of erosion were selected: Chaguaramas I (slightly eroded), Chaguaramas II, (moderately eroded), Chaguaramas III (moderately eroded), and Chaguaramas IV (severely eroded). A sorghum–livestock farming system was introduced 30 years ago. Secondary tillage with a disc harrow (without mulch on the topsoil) was applied for seedbed preparation. Fertilizers and pesticides were applied uniformly over the entire fields. Soil samples from each horizon were analysed for particle size distribution, water retention, bulk density, pH and organic matter content. The relative production potential was estimated using the Productivity Index developed by Pierce et al. [Pierce, F.C., W.E. Larson, R.H. Dowdy and W.A. Graham. 1983. Productivity of soils: assessing long-term changes due to erosion. Journal of Soil and Water Conservation. 38 39–44.], and adapted to the methodology proposed by Delgado [Delgado F. 2003. Soil physical properties on Venezuelan steeplands: applications to conservation planning. The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics. College on Soil Physics. 11 pp.] for Venezuelan soil conditions. The Productivity Index (PI) could estimate the tolerable rate of soil productivity loss. A soil erosion risk was assessed by the Erosion Risk Index (ERI) taking into account the soil hydrological characteristics (infiltration–runoff ratio), rainfall aggressiveness and topography (slope). The Productivity Index (PI) and the Erosion Risk Index (ERI) were used to classify the lands for soil conservation priorities, for conservation requirements and for alternative land uses. The results showed that: (a) the Productivity Index (PI) decreased with increasing level of erosion, (b) the Productivity Index (PI) was mainly affected by changes in available water storage capacity, bulk density and pH, (c) the erosion risk (ERI) was strongly affected by slope gradient and rainfall aggressiveness, (d) the areas were classified as critical lands and super-critical lands, with high to very high soil conservation requirements, depending on the level of soil erosion.     

Prediction of carbon mineralization rates from different soil physical fractions using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy

Soil carbon (C) mineralization rate is a key indicator of soil functional capacity but it is time consuming to measure using conventional laboratory incubation methods. Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of visible-near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for rapid non-destructive determination of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) concentration. We investigated whether NIRS (350-2500 nm) can predict C mineralization rates in physically fractionated soil aggregates (bulk soil and 6 size fractions, n=108) and free organic matter (2 size fractions, n=27) in aerobically incubated samples from a clayey soil (Ferralsol) and a sandy soil (Arenosol). Incubation reference values were calibrated to first derivative reflectance spectra using partial least-squares regression. Prediction accuracy was assessed by comparing laboratory reference values with NIRS values predicted using full hold-out-one cross-validation. Cross-validated prediction for C respired (500 days) in soil aggregate fractions had an R² of 0.82 while that of C mineralized (300 days) in organic matter fractions was 0.71. Major soil aggregate fractions could be perfectly spectrally discriminated using a 50% random holdout validation sample. NIRS is a promising technique for rapid characterization of potential C mineralization in soils and aggregate fractions. Further work should test the robustness of NIRS prediction of mineralization rates of aggregate fractions across a wide range of soils and spectral mixture models for predicting mass fractions of aggregate size classes.     

添加生物质炭对红壤水稻土有机碳矿化和微生物生物量的影响

通过室内培育试验,研究了添加生物质炭对江西红壤水稻土有机碳矿化和微生物生物量碳、氮含量的影响。结果表明:红壤有机碳矿化速率在培育第2天达最大值后迅速降低,培养7天后下降缓慢并趋于平稳;添加生物质炭降低了土壤有机碳的矿化速率和累积矿化量,培养结束时,不加生物质炭的对照处理中有机碳的累积矿化量分别比添加0.5%和1.0%生物质炭的处理高10.0%和10.8%。此外,生物质炭的加入显著提高了土壤微生物生物量,添加0.5%生物质炭处理的土壤微生物生物量碳、氮含量分别比对照高111.5%～250.6%和11.6%～97.6%,添加1.0%生物质炭处理的土壤微生物生物量碳、氮含量分别比对照高58.9%～243.6%和55.9%～110.4%。相同处理中,干旱的水分条件下(40%田间持水量)微生物生物量要高于湿润的水分条件(70%田间持水量)。同时,添加0.5%和1.0%的生物质炭使土壤代谢熵分别降低2.4%和26.8%,微生物商减少了43.7%和31.7%。

采用室内培养法,比较分析了福建三明地区米槠次生林皆伐后火烧、保留采伐剩余物处理对土壤有机碳累积矿化量的影响,分析了土壤有机碳累积矿化量和土壤初始有机碳、微生物生物量碳及可溶性有机碳的关系。结果表明,火烧、保留采伐剩余物处理6个月和18个月后,火烧处理表层0~10 cm土壤有机碳含量较对照处理分别下降了6.0%和1.9%,保留采伐物处理土壤表层有机碳增加了15.6%和25.0%。两次培养中,火烧处理各土层累积矿化量显著低于对照和保留采伐剩余物处理;火烧6个月后,保留采伐剩余物处理各土层累积矿化量显著低于对照,18个月后10~20和20~40 cm土层累积矿化量显著高于对照处理。火烧18个月后,保留采伐剩余物处理各土层累积矿化量显著高于1年前的累积矿化量,分别高57.0%、112.0%和49.9%;火烧和对照处理前后两次培养各土层累积矿化量变化并无明显规律。土壤有机碳累积矿化量与土壤初始有机碳、微生物生物量碳和可溶性有机碳呈显著地线性相关关系(p0.05)。营林活动初期,皆伐后保留采伐剩余物措施较火烧能够增加土壤有机碳库,对土壤肥力及后期林木生长有重要的促进作用。     

Modeling scour and deposition in ephemeral channels after wildfire

The area burned by wildfire in the states of Arizona and New Mexico in the southwestern US has been increasing in recent years. In many cases, high severity burns have caused dramatic increases in runoff and sediment yield from burned watersheds. This paper describes the potential and limitations of the HEC6T sediment transport model to describe changes in channel scour and deposition following the Cerro Grande fire near Los Alamos, New Mexico. Following the fire, Pueblo Canyon, near Los Alamos, was subject to a peak flow two orders of magnitudes higher than any discharge in the 7-year period of record, and twice the initial post-fire estimate of the 100-year event. HEC6T requires that the limits of scour and deposition on a cross-section be specified prior to application. This was achieved by using geomorphologic principles, predicted post-burn hydrology and long-term estimates of channel change derived from air photos, to estimate post-fire channel widths. Because significant quantities of silt and clay were present in the runoff, erosion shear stress and erosion rate parameters for cohesive sediments had to be obtained experimentally. After a sensitivity analysis, an optimization routine was used to estimate the optimal model parameter values for sensitive parameters. HEC6T was able to accurately model the change in cumulative sediment volume change derived from Airborne Laser Swath Mapping (ALSM, often called Lidar) taken before and after the large post-fire event. One discrepancy between the HEC6T model prediction and the ALSM-estimated change was that the ALSM-estimated change showed the greatest amount of deposition in a portion of the canyon with increasing slope, which the HEC6T model did not predict. Any sediment transport model will predict increased sediment transport capacity with increasing energy slope, so that it was considered to be beyond the capability of any sediment transport model to predict this deposition. Therefore, HEC6T simulated the overall changes in scour and deposition within reasonable expectation of the capabilities of physically-based sediment transport modeling indicating that it is capable of modeling sediment transport in ephemeral channels following wildfire.

人为破碎和见光风干对干湿交替培养下土壤有机碳矿化的影响

   通常恒温恒湿培养下土壤有机碳矿化强度随时间延长逐渐衰减,而干湿交替和阶段性扰动（如人为破碎、见光风干等）是否会改变这一趋势？   设置多重干湿交替培养试验,并辅以人为破碎和见光风干阶段性扰动措施,分析多循环干湿交替下土壤有机碳矿化的动态特征,探讨人为破碎和见光风干对干湿交替培养下土壤有机碳矿化的影响。   与恒湿（淹水和好气）处理相比,常规干湿交替每次复水和排水后对土壤有机碳矿化均有显著的激发效应,这种激发效应随着干湿交替次数增多逐步减弱,培养结束时土壤有机碳累积矿化量分别提高了72.09%和128.48%;见光风干相较于避光风干土壤有机碳矿化速率峰值和土壤有机碳累积矿化量分别提高了26.29%和16.15%,而人为破碎对土壤有机碳矿化特征无显著影响。各阶段难分解有机碳矿化的比例随着干湿交替次数逐渐增加。   循环干湿交替并未改变土壤有机碳矿化强度随时间延长阶段性衰减的趋势,但衰减幅度有所减缓;见光风干阶段性扰动进一步减缓了衰减趋势,建议用于土壤有机碳矿化培养试验的土壤样品应尽量避光风干和保存。     

Spatial distribution of carbon over an eroded landscape in southwest Wisconsin

Spatial distribution of carbon (C) within a soil profile and across a landscape is influenced by many factors including vegetation, soil erosion, water infiltration, and drainage. For this reason, we attempted to determine the soil C distribution of an eroded soil. A three-dimensional (3D) map of a 0.72 ha field with a Dubuque silt loam soil which has three levels of erosion (slight, moderate, and severe) was developed using soil distribution and profile data collected using a profile cone penetrometer (PCP). This map displays the distribution of the total depth of the Ap and Bt1 horizons and the upper part of the 2Bt2 horizon. A map of soil C distribution was created for this landscape using C content information obtained from soil samples. Based on the C distribution in the upper two horizons, a 3D viewing was developed of soil C distribution for this eroded landscape. The 3D assessment of C distribution provides a better means of assessing the impact of soil erosion on C fate. It was estimated that there were 52 Mg ha⁻¹ of total C in the surface (Ap) horizon and 61 Mg ha⁻¹ in the Bt1 horizon for the 0.72 ha area. This increase in C with depth in the soil can be attributed to an increase in clay content and C leaching resulting in stable carbon–clay complexes. The C content was 16.0, 17.5, and 19.0 g kg⁻¹ for the Ap horizon in the slight, moderate, and severe erosion levels, respectively. However, it was estimated that the total C amount in the respective Ap horizons was 28, 14, and 10 Mg ha⁻¹ for the slight, moderate, and severe areas. The Bt1 horizon had 31, 19, and 11 Mg ha⁻¹ of C in the slight, moderate, and severe areas, respectively. For the 0.72 ha area, 25% was severely eroded with 31 and 44% being moderate and slight, respectively. Soil C distribution information, such as that presented here, can be very valuable for soil management and could be used to determine possible C storage credits.     

不同利用年限菜地土壤有机碳矿化动态和酶活性变化

通过田间采样分析并结合室内培育试验,观测了不同利用年限菜地土壤有机碳矿化和酶活性变化特征。结果表明,蔬菜地土壤由于大量化肥的施用,导致NO3--N的积累。即使大量施用有机肥,NO3--N的积累也较明显。随着利用年限延长,培养前期的菜地土壤有机碳矿化率有下降趋势;脲酶和转化酶活性下降,磷酸酶活性因大量P肥使用造成P的积累而呈上升趋势。土壤磷酸酶和转化酶活性与土壤有机C和全N含量呈显著相关关系。不同利用年限菜地土壤酶活性变化幅度较大,能够更为敏感的指示土壤质量的变化。     

不同坡位柑橘园土壤团聚体矿物结合态有机碳矿化特征

矿物结合态有机碳（MAOC）是土壤有机碳（SOC）的主要组成部分,其矿化特性对土壤固碳和全球气候变化具有重要影响。坡位作为重要的地形因子,显著影响有机碳与土壤矿物的相互作用及稳定性。然而,目前关于不同坡位土壤MAOC矿化特征尚不清楚。本研究以南方丘陵区典型柑橘园土壤为研究对象,通过室内培养探究了不同坡位（坡上、坡中和坡下）柑橘园土壤团聚体MAOC的矿化特征,分析了土壤理化因子和疏水性对MAOC矿化的影响。结果表明：坡下柑橘园土壤MAOC的累积矿化量（C_t）、矿化速率和潜在可矿化量（C_o）均明显高于坡上和坡中,但坡下土壤C_o/MAOC的比值明显低于坡上和坡中。随着团聚体粒径的减小,各坡位柑橘园土壤MAOC的C_t、矿化速率和C_o均呈上升的变化趋势,而MAOC的矿化强度逐渐减弱。冗余分析（RDA）表明,MAOC潜在可矿化量（C_o）与pH、SOC、MAOC、TN和C/N呈显著正相关（P < 0.05）,与铁铝氧化物（Fed/Ald、Feo/Alo和Fep/Alp）和疏水性呈显著负相关（P < 0.05）。C_o/MAOC与铁铝氧化物和MAOC疏水性呈显著正相关,而与C_o、C_t、pH、SOC、MAOC、TN和C/N呈显著负相关。层次分割分析表明,Alo、Alp和Fep是影响MAOC矿化的重要因子。变差分解分析表明,Alo、Alp、Fep、C/N、MAOC和Feo的共同作用显著影响不同坡位团聚体中MAOC的矿化。研究结果对深入认识南方丘陵区不同坡位柑橘园土壤团聚体中矿物结合态有机碳形成机制、稳定特性以及提高土壤固碳具有重要意义。

Nest-mounds of the yellow meadow ant (Lasius flavus) at the “Alter Gleisberg”, Central Germany: Hot or cold spots in nutrient cycling?

Nests of the yellow meadow ant (Lasius flavus) occur at high densities in grasslands worldwide. Although many studies have shown that L. flavus nests influence soil nutrient contents, little is known about their effect on soil nutrient cycling rates. The aim of this study was to examine the role of nest-mounds inhabited by L. flavus as potential ‘hot spots’ for soil nutrient cycling. Six pairs of nest-mounds and control soils were selected at a grassland site at the plateau of the Alter Gleisberg (Thuringia, Central Germany). L. flavus significantly modified the soil environment within the nest. In comparison to the control soils, nest-mounds were characterized by slightly higher soil temperatures during the summer months. In addition, we found that nests were related to decreased potential C mineralization rates and increased potential net N mineralization rates. Nest-mound soil exhibited lower amounts of SOC, hot-water extractable DOC and DN, and higher concentrations of leachable DOC and DN. Moreover, ants promoted the enrichment of base cations in the nest. Differences in the soil environment between nests and control soils were possibly a result of the burrowing activity of ants, soil mixing, accumulation of aphid honeydew, and decreased plant-derived nutrient inputs into the nest-mound soil. In conclusion, L. flavus nest-mounds had a significant but element dependent effect on the soil nutrient cycling and may represent cold spots for C cycling and hot spots for N cycling. Thus, L. flavus nests increase the spatial heterogeneity of soil properties and create unique micro-sites within grassland ecosystems.
