黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错带沟岸灌木林地土壤水分变化

选择黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错带典型切沟,采用人工取样和中子仪测定研究了柠条坡地不同坡位土壤水分变化,明确了切沟对沟岸柠条林地土壤水分的影响范围,建立了土壤储水量与距沟沿不同距离之间的关系。结果表明：在黄土高原雨季(7～10月),天然降水对柠条坡地下位的补给深度达到了220 cm,对坡地上位和中位的补给深度分别为180 cm和160 cm。在土壤剖面200 cm深度范围内,坡下位土壤水分含量始终高于坡上位和坡中位,200 cm深度以下,坡地上、中、下位土壤水分趋于一致。切沟对柠条林地土壤水分影响水平宽度达到3～4 m,垂直深度达到6 m以下。沟岸柠条坡地距沟沿不同距离土壤剖面储水量与沟沿距离间的关系可以用线性函数来表达。研究沟岸地距沟沿不同距离的土壤水分变化规律对沟岸地植被的恢复具有重要的科学意义。     

生物炭添加对黄绵土水分补给和消退的影响

[目的]明确雨季生物炭添加对黄绵土储水、保水能力的影响,为科学利用生物炭改良黄土高原地区土壤以及确定合理的生物炭施用量提供基本理论支持。[方法]采用多层一体式土壤水分温度测量系统(JDTS-01)对黄土高原地区土壤水分进行野外定点观测,并使用烘干法对监测数据进行校正,研究黄绵土0—40 cm土层水分动态变化与补给、消退情况。基于双变量相关分析探讨了不同生物炭添加量下土壤水分补给和消退变化的影响因素及其相对重要性。[结果](1)整体上生物炭添加能在一定程度上增加土壤水分含量,低生物炭添加量增加了深层土壤水分,而高生物炭添加量增加了表层土壤水分,2.5%左右的生物炭添加量可能是影响土壤水分入渗和蒸发的拐点。(2)添加生物炭后,0—20 cm土层水分补给量增大,20—40 cm土层水分补给量减小。降雨带来的水分补给能够很大程度上滞留在土壤耕层,添加生物炭量较大时土壤水分补给效果更好;0—20 cm土层中添加生物炭处理的水分消退更快,而不添加生物炭的土壤水分入渗土层更深。(3)生物炭添加可以促进黄绵土土壤水分补给,减弱土壤水分消退,有利于降雨后土壤储水。[结论]生物炭添加能够改善黄土高原地区土...

为探究干热河谷区不同土地利用类型坡面土壤水分的时空变化规律,以元谋干热河谷老城小流域水土保持综合治理示范区内的银合欢人工林地、扭黄茅草丛地和坡耕地为研究对象,采用经典统计学和地统计学克里格插值相结合的分析方法,对3种土地类型坡面土壤水分的时间和空间异质性进行研究。结果表明:元谋干热河谷区土壤含水量较低(林地旱季7.56%,雨季12.80%;草地旱季8.05%,雨季12.66%;坡耕地旱季19.37%,雨季22.95%),雨季显著大于旱季。旱、雨季均表现为坡耕地草地林地,呈中等至强度变异(0.14~0.72之间);不同土地利用类型下各层土壤水分的自相关系数均由正向负转化的相同趋势,但拐点有所不同,且雨季大于旱季;不同土地利用类型下旱、雨季土壤水分的最佳拟合模型林地与草地相同(林地与草地旱雨季均为球状模型,坡耕地旱雨季为指数模型),均呈中等或强等空间相关性(0.05~0.39之间),且旱季大于雨季;同一土地类型下旱、雨季不同土层的土壤水分空间分布相似,不同土地利用类型下相同土层分布格局则不同。     

黄土高原沟壑区农田土壤水分动态变化分析

以黄土高原沟壑区径流小区为研究对象，分析了雨季，旱季缓坡农田土壤水分动态变化以及坡位对农田土壤水分动态变化的影响，结果表明：雨季，旱季农田土壤水分动态变化趋势相同，但浅层（10－30cm）土壤水分变化幅度较大，尤其是降雨产流时；土壤水分的补偿和恢复主要取决于雨强适中，历时长且雨量大的降雨过程，与土壤前期水分剖面特征，作物覆盖度以及作物耗水特性密切相关，而坡度几乎没有影响，坡位对农田土壤水分动态变化也有一定的影响，观测期末雨季，旱季土壤蓄水增量为坡上＜坡中＜坡下，坡的中下部土壤储水量也较坡上部大。     

人工草地土壤水分周年变化规律的研究

本文利用人工牧草地土壤水分试验测定资料,分析研究了草地土壤水分的周年变化规律,得出草地土壤水分周年变化可划分为春季失墒期、夏季增失墒交替期、伏秋增墒期;土壤水分动态曲线波动主要受降水补给量和牧草耗水量的影响而变化,雨季降水对旱作草地土壤水分的补给起着重要作用。     

稻草覆盖对红壤旱坡地水力性质及水分状况的影响

为探明红壤旱坡地应用稻草覆盖的雨季和旱季保水作用,在湖北省咸宁市第四纪红色黏土母质发育的红壤8°坡地上开展田间试验,以不覆盖为对照,研究稻草覆盖对红壤的持水性、水分有效性、供水性、导水性、含水量及储水量的影响。结果表明:稻草覆盖改善了土壤的持水性和水分有效性,覆盖当年土壤田间持水量、凋萎系数和有效水容量分别比对照提高6.0%、7.3%和4.4%;稻草覆盖显著减缓了雨季红壤表层饱和导水率的下降幅度,尤其是大雨期间保护地表饱和导水性的作用更明显,102.8 mm的降雨结束之后,稻草覆盖的土壤平均饱和导水率是对照的2.7倍;稻草覆盖对土壤的供水性及非饱和导水性的影响表现为低吸力段增强,高吸力段减弱;土壤储水量在集中降雨阶段的上升幅度和在降雨间歇期的下降幅度都表现为稻草覆盖对照。总体上,土壤储水量均表现为稻草覆盖对照;稻草覆盖增加雨季土壤储水量主要通过增加入渗,而增加旱季土壤储水量主要通过减少蒸散发;稻草覆盖增加雨季土壤储水量的作用有限,且保水作用雨季旱季。因此,稻草覆盖在红壤旱坡地上的雨季和旱季的保水途径、特点及作用大小都不同。

Pasture Vegetation Elemental Analysis by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing.

Biodiversity and ecogeography of wild Lactuca spp. in some European countries

Staff members of the Department of Botany of Palacký University in Olomouc and Gene Bank Department – Workplace Olomouc, Research Institute of Crop Production in Prague, Czech Republic, conducted an expedition in seven European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland) in August/September 1999 to collect wild Lactuca spp. germplasm and study its geographic distribution, ecology and biodiversity. During the mission, more than 600 locations were visited resulting in the collection of 602 seed samples (accessions) of wild Lactuca species and 13 seed samples of related genera (Chondrilla and Mycelis). Lactuca serriola f. serriola, L. serriola f. integrifolia, L. saligna and L. viminea subsp. chondrilliflora were prevalent in southern Europe (Italy, France), however, only L. serriola was common in central and western Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland). The greatest diversity of Lactuca species was found in France, where also the most seed samples (165) were collected. The most characteristic habitats with a high density of Lactuca spp. populations were observed along roads and highways, grassy ditches, ruderal communities, and dust-heaps. Natural infections by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) on some wild Lactuca spp. were observed. Recent observations concerning the geographic distribution, population structure, habitats, and natural occurrence of diseases of Lactuca spp. are discussed. This assemblage of genetic resources of Lactuca spp. can serve as the basis of future studies of species diversification, spatial population structure, plant microevolution, domestication processes, and genetic variability of host-parasite interactions.     

Macroinvertebrates in North American tallgrass prairie soils: effects of fire, mowing, and fertilization on density and biomass

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils.     

Properties of anaerobically digested and composted municipal solid waste assessed by linking soil mesofauna dynamics and nitrogen modelling

We have studied the effect of anaerobically digested (ADMSW) and composted municipal solid waste (CMSW) on mineralization and foodweb dynamics to verify the hypothesis that ADMSW would immobilize N right after addition to soil in contrast to addition with CMSW. Another hypothesis was that the mesofauna (enchytraeids and microarthropods) would stimulate N release from the decomposer community. We measured excretion of -N and urea-N from the mesofauna and hypothesized that enchytraeids would release urea. ADMSW and CMSW were amended to pots with sandy loam and barley. The pots were divided into treatments with or without mesofauna. Mesofauna, plant N and biomass, soil N and ergosterol (fungal biomass) were measured over a 113-day period of four equidistant samplings. Soil respiration, N mineralization and N release by the mesofauna were modelled from concurrent studies. ADMSW- and CMSW-treated soils initially (<20 days) immobilized N. The amendments did not increase plant growth substantially, and this was probably due to N-limitation in the early stages of plant growth. Enchytraeid abundance was about three times higher in ADMSW- than CMSW-treated soils, indicating that ADMSW contained more labile compounds, bacteria, and microfauna. The mesofauna did not affect N-content, but the cumulated -N excreted by the mesofauna was estimated to be substantial and about one-fifth of total plant N in ADMSW. An explanation for this discrepancy might be that in the absence of the mesofauna, other members of the detrivore and microbivore community performed the mesofauna’s function. Neither enchytraeids nor microarthropods excreted urea.

Variation in quality parameters between and within 14 Nordic tree fruit and berry species

Abstract

A 3-year study was carried out to investigate quality parameters in 14 tree fruit and berry species grown in southern Norway. The species were blueberry, apple, aronia, sour cherry, sweet cherry, red raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, red currant and elderberry, harvested along with wild bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry. Significant differences between species were identified for all quality parameters. The coefficient of variation between species was lowest for pH (12.5%), dry matter (18.9%) and soluble solids (25.3%), followed by titratable acids (59.3%), total phenolics (83.8%), antioxidant capacity FRAP (85.7%) and antiradical power by the DPPH-assay (97.8%), total monomeric anthocyanins (132%) and ascorbic acid (137%). Average coefficient of variation within species were lower and ranged from 4 (pH) to 62% (ascorbic acid). Only the FRAP values were significantly affected by harvesting year with lower levels in 2004 than in 2005 and 2006. There were significant interactions between species and harvesting year for dry matter, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid and FRAP. The results indicate generic ranges in composition within species independent upon growing location and climate, and the composition of the tree fruits and berries is not likely to deviate from these ranges. It is concluded that desirable composition of tree fruits and berries and their products should primarily be achieved by selection among species rather than searching fors broadened variation within individual species.     

Potassium Fixation and Release Characteristics in Rhizosphere and Nonrhizosphere Soils for a Rapeseed–Rice Cropping Sequence

Potassium (K) fixation and release in soil are important factors in the long-term sustainability of a cropping system. Changes in K concentration and characteristics of K fixation and release in rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)–rice (Oryza sativa L.) rotation were investigated using a rhizobox system. The concentrations of different forms of K in both rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils decreased with plants compared to without plants, regardless of K fertilizer application. Potassium uptake by crops mainly came from the rhizosphere soil. In the treatment without K fertilizer (–K), the main form of K supplied by the soil to the crops was 1.0 mol L^?1 nitric acid (HNO₃) nonextractable K, followed by nonexchangeable K, and then exchangeable K. In the treatment with K fertilizer (+K), the main K forms supplied by the soil to the crops were exchangeable K and nonexchangeable K. The amount and rate of K fixation after one cycle of the rapeseed–rice rotation was greater in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The amount and rate of K fixation of soil in the +K treatment were significantly less than in the –K treatment. The cumulative amounts of K released with 1.0 mol L^?1 ammonium acetate (NH₄OAc) and 1.0 mol L^?1 HNO₃ extraction increased with the increasing numbers of extractions, but the K-releasing power of soil by successive extraction decreased gradually and finally became almost constant. The release of K was less in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The release of K in the +K treatment was similar to that in the –K treatment in rhizosphere soil, but the K release in nonrhizosphere soil was greater with the +K than the –K treatment. Overall, the information obtained in this study will be helpful in formulating more precise K fertilizer recommendations for certain soils.
