苜蓿草地土壤干层对土壤脲酶活性和土壤蛋白酶活性的影响

从2000年10月到2004年10月,通过大田试验研究了半干旱黄土高原地区4年生苜蓿草地、14年生苜蓿草地、苜蓿-作物轮作农田以及常规耕作农田中土壤全氮含量、土壤微生物量碳和氮含量、和土壤脲酶活性和土壤蛋白酶活性。结果表明,土壤微生物量碳和氮含量苜蓿草地最高,其次苜蓿-作物轮作系统,而常规耕作农田最低。土壤尿酶活性和土壤蛋白酶活性14年生苜蓿草地显著低于4年生苜蓿草地和苜蓿-作物轮作系统。土壤含水量14年生苜蓿草地显著低于其它处理。长时期苜蓿草地出现的土壤干层严重影响着土壤尿酶和土壤蛋白酶活性,威胁着土壤氮素的转化。与常规耕作相比,苜蓿-作物轮作系统不但土壤微生物量较高,而且土壤酶活性也较高。     

半干旱区不同作物与苜蓿轮作对土壤水分恢复与肥力消耗的影响

苜蓿-作物轮作是我国西北半干旱区常见的耕作方式。由于苜蓿的强蒸散特征，苜蓿生长多年后常导致土壤水分匮缺，形成土壤干层，对后茬作物的生长产生不利影响。根据当地轮作习惯，苜蓿种植后通常种植一种浅根系的作物草谷子（Setaria itallca Beauv）来恢复土壤水分并获取饲料，但是这种耕种模式对土壤水分恢复的效果如何还不得知，苜蓿草地轮作为农田后的土壤水分恢复过程需要加以明晰。由于苜蓿的生物固氮作用，由农田轮作为苜蓿草地一般不会存在土壤肥力障碍，并会不断提高土壤肥力水平。由苜蓿草地轮作为农田，土壤肥力一般是下降的，但对苜蓿草地轮作为农田后土壤肥力的消耗动态，以及不同作物对土壤肥力消耗有何影响目前还很少了解。本文研究了苜蓿一作物轮作过程中的土壤水分、氮素和有机质的变化，旨在阐明苜蓿草地轮作为农田后的土壤水分恢复和肥力消耗过程，探讨合理的轮作模式。     

人为干扰对桂西北喀斯特生态系统土壤有机碳、氮、磷和微生物量剖面分布的影响

在桂西北喀斯特地区以原生林地为对照,选取了玉米-红薯轮作地、放牧+火烧草地和自然恢复地3种不同人为干扰的生态系统,研究土壤剖面养分、微生物活性对干扰强度的响应。结果表明,土壤有机碳和全氮随土壤深度的增加而降低,全磷变化较小,说明磷素主要来源于土壤母质,且淋溶作用较小;原生林地0-30 cm土壤有机碳、全氮、全磷、微生物量碳、氮、磷、碱解氮显著高于自然恢复地、放牧+火烧草地和玉米-红薯轮作地(p0.05),说明原生生态系统可维持较高的土壤肥力和微生物活性;3种人为干扰的生态系统,自然恢复地和放牧+火烧草地0-5 cm土壤有机碳含量显著高于玉米-红薯轮作地,说明自然恢复有利于提高表层土壤肥力和有机碳积累;玉米-红薯轮作地表层0-15 cm土壤全磷和有效磷含量显著高于自然恢复地和放牧+火烧草地,主要受施肥影响;60-100 cm,原生林地、自然恢复地和放牧+火烧草地土壤全氮显著高于玉米-红薯轮作地,说明农耕旱地土壤下层氮受雨水影响较大,淋失严重。自然恢复地和放牧+火烧草地表层(0-15 cm)土壤碱解氮、微生物量碳、氮、磷显著高于玉米-红薯轮作地,说明减少人为干扰和实行自然恢复可显著提高土壤氮的有效性和微生物活性。因此,提高农田管理水平、施行保护性耕作,推行自然恢复、减少人为干扰是提高喀斯特退化生态系统土壤生产力和增加土壤有机碳积累的有效措施。     

免耕对不同麦玉轮作农田土壤碳组分及理化性质的影响

为探讨耕作及轮作方式对农田土壤理化性质和碳组分的影响,设置免耕、传统耕作2种耕作方式,以及小麦-玉米轮作、小麦/玉米间作、小麦-冬油菜-玉米轮作3种种植模式,共形成6个处理,研究结果表明:与传统耕作相比,免耕增加了0~5 cm、5~20 cm土层全氮、全磷、速效磷和含水量,而降低了的土壤pH和土壤容重。免耕小麦/玉米间作(NT.W1/NT.WM.1)处理的土壤容重、含水量、全氮、全磷含量高于NT.WRM3和NT.WM5处理,在不同土层间,土壤全氮、全磷和速效磷含量随着土层深度的增加而降低。土壤碳组分含量总体表现为免耕处理高于传统耕作处理,免耕处理0~5 cm土层土壤有机碳、颗粒有机碳、可溶性有机碳、微生物量碳含量较相应传统耕作分别增加了1.31%~36.57%、2.07%~35.22%、2.38%~4.78%、2.08%~11.68%,在5~20 cm土层,免耕处理土壤有机碳和微生物量碳含量高于传统耕作。在不同免耕处理下,土壤有机碳,颗粒有机碳和微生物量碳含量在0~5 cm、5~20 cm土层总体表现为NT.WM5高于其他免耕处理,相关性分析表明,有机碳、微生物量碳和速效磷呈极显著正相关,容重和有机碳呈极显著负相关。综上所述,免耕小麦/玉米间作利于改善土壤理化性质,小麦-玉米轮作有利于提高土壤有机碳,颗粒有机碳和微生物量碳含量。     

保护性耕作对麦-豆轮作土壤有机碳全氮及微生物量碳氮的影响

通过设置在甘肃省定西市李家堡镇的保护性耕作措施长期定位试验,共设4个处理（T：传统耕作;NT：免耕无覆盖;TS：传统耕作＋秸秆还田;NTS：免耕＋秸秆覆盖）,采用春小麦豌豆双序列轮作（即小麦→豌豆→小麦和豌豆→小麦→豌豆,本文中所指春小麦地、豌豆地分别指2008年种植春小麦、豌豆的轮作次序）,于2008年3月中旬对春小麦、豌豆双序列轮作下的土壤有机碳、全氮、土壤微生物量碳及土壤微生物量氮含量进行了采样测定。结果表明,经过7a的轮作后,两种轮作次序下,0-30cm土层中土壤有机碳、全氮、土壤微生物量碳、土壤微生物量氮含量均有在免耕＋秸秆覆盖、传统耕作＋秸秆还田处理较免耕不覆盖、传统耕作处理高的趋势,且其含量均随着土壤深度的增加而降低。其中,土壤微生物量碳含量在两种轮作次序下的排序均为：免耕＋秸秆覆盖（NTS）〉传统耕作＋秸秆还田（TS）〉免耕不覆盖（NT）〉传统耕作（T）;而土壤微生物量氮含量在春小麦地和豌豆地的排序则分别表现为：免耕＋秸秆覆盖（NTS）〉传统耕作＋秸秆还田（TS）〉传统耕作（T）〉免耕不覆盖（NT）和免耕＋秸秆覆盖（NTS）〉传统耕作＋秸秆还田（TS）〉免耕不覆盖（NT）〉传统耕作（T）。同时,微生物量碳、微生物量氮与有机碳和全氮均呈显著正相关,说明提高土壤有机质、全氮含量的保护性耕作模式有利于土壤微生物量碳与氮的积累。     

农田土壤固碳与增产协同效应研究进展

农田土壤固碳是提升土壤肥力、保障和实现农田持续稳定生产能力的关键所在。明确农田土壤固碳与作物增产的协同效应可为不同区域土壤培肥、维持和提升作物产量提供依据。农田土壤固碳明显受到气候、土壤属性、管理措施 (尤其是施肥和耕作)、轮作制度等因素的影响，且与农田作物产量密切相关，二者具有明显的协同效应。农田土壤有机碳与作物增产协同效应存在一定的阈值，且该阈值具有一定的区域差异。东北地区土壤有机碳阈值约为C 44～46 t/hm2，西北和华北地区约为C 22～28 t/hm2，南方地区约为C 33～37 t/hm2。经验方程和模型模拟结果表明，在不同区域，农田土壤每固定C 1.0 t/(hm2·a)有机碳，粮食作物产量可平均提升约0.7 t/hm2，但该响应值在各地区明显受到相应的环境及农田管理措施等因素的影响。深入理解农田固碳过程及其与作物生产力协同作用的机理，是指导不同区域合理培肥、提高土壤肥力、提高养分资源利用效率的关键举措。未来的研究方向和重点是明确不同区域农田土壤可实现的固碳潜力，进一步揭示集约化种植下农田土壤有机碳的固存机制，关注深层土壤有机碳固定对作物增产潜力的影响及贡献，并深入分析表征环境、人为因素等对农田土壤固碳增产协同效应的影响机制及调控原理。     

保护性耕作对坡耕地土壤微生物量碳、氮的影响

利用长期定位试验(1999年开始保护性耕作,2004年采样测定),研究了豫西旱区坡耕地不同保护耕作对土壤有机碳、全氮和微生物量碳(SMB-C)、微生物量氮(SMB-N)的影响.结果表明:深松覆盖和免耕覆盖耕层有机碳、全氮较传统耕作均有增加,其中深松覆盖耕作下有机碳含量最高,为6.79 g/kg,比传统耕作增加了13.82%;免耕土壤全氮含量最高为0.797 g/kg,比传统耕作增加了10.42%;土壤有机碳、全氮随着土层的加深逐渐降低;长期保护性耕作(免耕、深松)显著增加了土壤微生物碳、氮含量,0～20 cm免耕和深松的土壤SMB-C、SMB-N含量分别较传统耕作增加79.3%,19.9%和17.92%,8.13%.长期耕作导致坡耕地土壤微生物碳、氮具有不同程度的坡下富集现象.土壤SMB-C与全氮、SMB-N呈显著正相关.由于微生物量C、N可作为评价土壤质量的生物学指标,因此可以认为,长期保护性耕作(免耕和深松)可以提高豫西旱区坡耕地土壤质量,增加土壤肥力.     

长期轮作施肥对土壤微生物碳氮的影响

就设在黄土高原旱作农耕地上的长期定位试验不同处理土壤微生物量碳氮进行研究，主要就长期不同施肥，种植不同作物及轮作等农业措施对土壤微生物量碳氮的影响进行研究，结果显示，施肥与种植物提高了土壤微生物量碳氮含量，长期施用土粪肥显著提高微生物量碳氮含量，施化肥与有机肥并种植苜蓿处理微生物量碳氮是长期休闲地的3．倍，轮作比连作更有利于微生物量碳氮的提高，轮作与有机肥的施用应当是本区提高土壤肥力的主要途径。     

黄土区不同类型土壤微生物量碳、氮和可溶性有机碳、氮的含量及其关系

研究了黄土高原南部地区不同土壤类型及不同利用方式下土壤微生物摄碳、氮和可溶性有机碳、氮的含量。结果表明：不同土地利用方式下，土壤微生物量碳、氮和可溶性有机碳、氮含量均为林地〉农田，其中林地枯枝落叶层〉林地O～20cm土层。农田土壤微生物量碳、氮的含量均为红油土〉黑垆土〉淋溶褐土；农田土壤中可溶性有机碳含量为淋溶褐土〉红油土〉黑垆土，而可溶性有机氮含量则为黑垆土〉红油土〉淋溶褐土。方差分析表明，不同土壤类型土壤微生物量氮含量之间的差异达显著水平，而不同土壤类型间土壤微生物量碳、可溶性有机碳、氯含量之间的差异未达显著水平。土壤微生物量碳、氮占土壤有机碳和全氮的比例明显高于可溶性有机碳、氮占土壤有机碳和全氮的比例。相关分析发现，土壤微生物量碳与可溶性有机碳之间以及土壤微生物量氮与可溶性有机氮之间的相关性达显著或极显著水平，说明土壤微生物量碳、氮和土壤可溶性有机碳、氮之间有密切联系。     

长期施肥人工草地土壤养分的剖面变化

苜蓿连作长期施P或施NPM均能增加土壤耕层的有机磷，全氮和碱解氮含量，长期施NPM对提高整个土壤剖面内的有机磷含量也有显著作用，而长期施P仅能改善土壤耕层有机碳含量，对耕层以下土壤的有机碳含量则有降低作用；粮草轮作系统中，随苜蓿生长年限的增加，整个土壤剖面的有机碳含量均有一定程度的提高，二、四年生苜蓿土壤的有机碳含量明显高于一年苜蓿土壤，土壤有机碳和全氮的在土壤剖面呈典型的“S”型分布，土壤剖面全氮和碱解氮含量变化有机碳变化有很好的相关性。     

Excessive Nitrogen Inputs in Intensive Greenhouse Cultivation May Influence Soil Microbial Biomass and Community Composition

Intensive greenhouse vegetable‐production systems commonly utilize excessive fertilizer inputs that are inconsistent with sustainable production and may affect soil quality. Soil samples were collected from 15 commercial greenhouses used for tomato production and from neighboring fields used for wheat cropping to determine the effects of intensive vegetable cultivation on soil microbial biomass and community structure. Soil total nitrogen (N) and organic‐matter contents were greater in the intensive greenhouse tomato soils than the open‐field wheat soils. Soil microbial carbon (C) contents were greater in the greenhouse soils, and soil microbial biomass N showed a similar trend but with high variation. The two cropping systems were not significantly different. Soil microbial biomass C was significantly correlated with both soil total N and soil organic matter, but the relationships among soil microbial biomass N, soil total N, and organic‐matter content were not significant. The Biolog substrate utilization potential of the soil microbial communities showed that greenhouse soils were significantly higher (by 14%) than wheat soils. Principal component (PC) analysis of soil microbial communities showed that the wheat sites were significantly correlated with PC1, whereas the greenhouse soils were variable. The results indicate that changes in soil microbiological properties may be useful indicators for the evaluation of soil degradation in intensive agricultural systems.     

稻田系统管理措施对微生物生物量C、N、P的长期影响

A 12-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different tillage methods and fertil-ization systems on microbial biomass C,N and P of a gray fluvo-aguic soil in rice-based cropping system .Five fertilization treatments were designed under conventional tillae(CT) or on tillage(NT) system:no fertilizer(CK) ; chemical fertilizer only(CF) ; combining chemical fertilizer with pig manure(PM); combining chemical fertilizer with crop straw (CS) and fallow (F). The results showed that biomass C,N and P were enriched in the surface layer of no-tilled soil,whereas they distributed relatively evenly in the tilled soil,which might result from enrichment of crop resdue,organic manure and mineral fertilzer,and surficial developent of root systems under NT.Under the cultivation system NT had slightly greater biomass C,N and P at 0-5 cm depth ,significantly less biomass C,N and P at 5-15 cm depth ,less microbial biomass C,N and equivalent biomass P at 15-30 cm depth as compared to CT,indicating hat tillage was beneficial for the multiplication of organims in the plowed layer of soil.Under the fallow system,biomass C,N and P in the surface layer were significantly greater for NT than CT while their differences between the two tillage methods were neligible in the deeper layers.In the surface layer,biomass C,N and P in the soils amended with oranic manure combined with mineral fertilizers were significantly greater than those of the treatments only with mineral fertilizers and the control.Soils without fertilzer had the least biomass nutrient contents among the five fertilization treatments.Obviously,the long-term application of organic manure could maintain the higher activity of microorganisms in soils.The amounts of biomass C,N and P in the fallowed soils varied with the tillage methods;they were much greater under NT than under CT,especially in the surface layer,suggesting that the frequent plowing could decrease the content of organic matter in the surface layer of the fallowed soil.     

相比其他传统作物作为生物能源作物柳枝稷种植土壤上的有机碳库研究

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been proposed as a sustainable bioenergy crop because of its high yield potential, adaptation to marginal sites, and tolerance to water and nutrient limitations. A better understanding of the potential effects of biomass energy crop production practices on soil biological properties and organic matter dynamics is critical to its production. Our objective was to evaluate changes in C pools under a warm-season perennial switchgrass in different soils compared to typically-grown crops collected at College Station, Dallas, and Stephenville, TX in February 2001. Sampling depths were 0-5, 5-15, and 15-30 cm. Switchgrass increased soil organic C (SOC), soil microbial biomass C (SMBC), mineralizable C, and particulate organic matter C (POM-C) compared to conventional cropping systems. Soil C concentrations were in the order: long-term coastal bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.]> switchgrass or kleingrass (Panicum coloratum L.) planted in 1992> switchgrass 1997> conventional cropping systems. Soil C concentrations tended to increase with increasing clay content. Greater microbial biomass C followed the order of Dallas> College Station> Stephenville, and ranged from approximately 180 mg C kg-1 soil at Stephenville to 1 900 mg C kg-1 soil at Dallas. Particulate organic C was more sensitive than other fractions to management, increasing as much as 6-fold under long-term coastal bermudagrass compared to conventional cropping systems. Our study indicated that conversion of conventional cropping systems into switchgrass production can sequestrate more SOC and improve soil biological properties in the southern USA.     

The influence of tillage on the proportion of organic carbon and nitrogen in the microbial biomass of medium-textured soils in a humid climate

Summary Microbial biomass C and N respond rapidly to changes in tillage and soil management. The ratio of biomass C to total organic C and the ratio of mineral N flush to total N were determined in the surface layer (0–5 cm) of low-clay (8–10%), fine sandy loam, Podzolic soils subjected to a range of reduced tillage (direct drilling, chisel ploughing, shallow tillage) experiments of 3–5 years' duration. Organic matter dynamics in the tillage experiments were compared to long-term conditions in several grassland sites established on the same soil type for 10–40 years. Microbial biomass C levels in the grassland soils, reduced tillage, and mouldboard ploughing treatments were 561, 250, and 155 g g^-1 soil, respectively. In all the systems, microbial biomass C was related to organic C (r=0.86), while the mineral N flush was related to total N (r=0.84). The average proportion of organic C in the biomass of the reduced tillage soils (1.2) was higher than in the ploughed soils (0.8) but similar to that in the grassland soils (1.3). Reduced tillage increased the average ratio of mineral N flush to total soil N to 1.9, compared to 1.3 in the ploughed soils. The same ratio was 1.8 in the grassland soils. Regression analysis of microbial biomass C and percent organic C in the microbial biomass showed a steeper slope for the tillage soils than the grassland sites, indicating that reduced tillage increased the microbial biomass level per unit soil organic C. The proportion of organic matter in the microbial biomass suggests a shift in organic matter equilibrium in the reduced tillage soils towards a rapid, tillage-induced, accumulation of organic matter in the surface layer.     

Soil management modifies micro-scale abundance and function of soil microorganisms in a Mediterranean ecosystem

The present study tests whether soil management (tillage and fertilizer) modified the small-scale abundance and function of soil microorganisms in response to changes in organic matter quantity and quality. The experimental field, located in the coastal hills of Marche (central Italy), was planted in rotation with Triticum durum in winter and Zea mais in summer. Soil samples were collected in the maize-field soil, in conventional and no-tillage (NT) systems, and in fertilized and unfertilized soil. We analysed total organic C (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) microbial biomass C (MBC), enzymes involved in C- (β-glucosidase, α-glucosidase, β-cellobiohydrolase, β-xylosidase), N- (leucine-aminopeptidase and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase), P- (acid phosphatase) and S-cycling (arylsulphatase), as well as functional diversity in the bulk soil, coarse sand, fine sand, silt and clay fractions. Micro-scale investigations revealed great microbial abundance in smaller fractions because of protection offered by microaggregates, whereas the distribution of enzymes reflected the availability of their corresponding substrates. No-tillage treatment significantly increased organic input, mainly in the coarser fractions, enhancing enzyme activities and the functional diversity of the microbial community. This effect was even larger in the absence of fertilizer. At the particle-size level of resolution, adding fertilizer stimulated nutrient cycling. Our results confirmed the hypothesis that no-tillage enlarges the content of particulate organic matter in the coarse sand fraction and stimulates microbial decomposition. In the smaller fractions the enlarged microbial pool and increased soil organic matter with small C/N ratio under NT confirm that this management practice is effective in increasing soil C sequestration capacity.     

Soil carbon pool and effects of soil fertility in seeded alfalfa fields on the semi-arid Loess Plateau in China

The dynamics of the soil organic carbon pool and soil fertility were studied in soils with different number of growing years of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in the semiarid Loess Plateau of China. The soil water content and soil water potential decreased and the depth of desiccated layers grew with the number of growing years of alfalfa. The soil organic C (SOC) cannot be enhanced on short timescales in these unfertilized and mowed-alfalfa grasslands in the topsoil, but the light fraction of organic C (LFOC), soil microbial biomass C (MBC) and microbial biomass N (MBN) all increased with the number of growing years. When alfalfa had been growing for more than 13 yr, the soil MBC increased slowly, suggesting that the MBC value is likely to reach a constant level. SOC, soil total P (STP), available P (AvaiP) and the ratio of SOC to soil total N (C/N) all decreased monotonically with the growing years of alfalfa up to 13 yr and then increased. SOC was significantly positively correlated with STP, AvaiP, soil total C (STC) and soil total N (STN) (R=0.627**, 0.691**, 0.497*, 0.546*, respectively). MBC and LFOC were significantly positively correlated with the number of growing years of alfalfa (R=0.873*** and 0.521*, respectively), and LFOC was more sensitive to vegetation components, degree of cover and landform than to the number of years of growth. SOC showed a significant negative correlation with LFOC/SOC and MBC/SOC (R=−0.689**, −0.693**, respectively). A significant positive correlation exists between MBC and soil inorganic C (SIC). LFOC, MBC, LFOC/SOC and MBC/SOC were all significantly positively correlated with each other. Therefore, practices that involve water-harvesting technologies and add residues and phosphate fertilizer to soils should be promoted to improve soil nutrients and hydration and to postpone the degradation of alfalfa grasslands under long-term alfalfa production.     

Soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics as affected by long-term tillage and nitrogen fertilization

Quantifying seasonal dynamics of active soil C and N pools is important for understanding how production systems can be better managed to sustain long-term soil productivity especially in warm subhumid climates. Our objectives were to determine seasonal dynamics of inorganic soil N, potential C and N mineralization, soil microbial biomass C (SMBC), and the metabolic quotient of microbial biomass in continuous corn (Zea mays L.) under conventional (CT), moldboard (MB), chisel (CH), minimum tillage (MT), and no-tillage (NT) with low (45kgNha^–1) and high (90kgNha^–1) N fertilization. An Orelia sandy clay loam (fine-loamy, mixed, hyperthermic Typic Ochraqualf) in south Texas, United States, was sampled before corn planting in February, during pollination in May, and following harvest in July. Soil inorganic N, SMBC, and potential C and N mineralization were usually highest in soils under NT, whereas these characteristics were consistently lower throughout the growing season in soils receiving MB tillage. Nitrogen fertilization had little effect on soil inorganic N, SMBC, and potential C and N mineralization. The metabolic quotient of microbial biomass exhibited seasonal patterns inverse to that of SMBC. Seasonal changes in SMBC, inorganic N, and mineralizable C and N indicated the dependence of seasonal C and N dynamics on long-term substrate availability from crop residues. Long-term reduced tillage increased soil organic matter (SOM), SMBC, inorganic N, and labile C and N pools as compared with plowed systems and may be more sustainable over the long term. Seasonal changes in active soil C and N pools were affected more by tillage than by N fertilization in this subhumid climate. Received: 20 September 1996     

Microbial biomass nitrogen pool in soils from a warm temperate grassland,and from deciduous and evergreen forests in Chiba,central Japan

We evaluated the status of the microbial biomass N pool in grassland, and in deciduous and evergreen forest soils in Chiba, central Japan. Microbial biomass N, a labile fraction of total N in the soil, ranged from 6.96 g N m^-2 (15 cm depth) in the grassland to 24.8 g in the deciduous and 20.7 g in the evergreen soils, on a landscape basis. Thus the pattern in the grassland and in the forest soils differed. The N flush measured by a fumigation-incubation method indicated that in the grassland soil microbial biomass N was underestimated by a factor of 2.6 compared with the results from a fumigation-extraction method, because of heavy N immobilization in the microbial biomass. This was in contrast to results from the forest soils, which did not immobilize N. Thus, the forest soils were in a steady-state condition compared with the grassland which formed a seral phase in the ecological succession. Simple correlation coefficients indicated a significant positive relationship between biomass N and organic C in the soil and the N concentration in the litter, the main component of organic matter in the soils of the three ecosystems.     

Specific Responses of Soil Microbial Residue Carbon to Long-Term Mineral Fertilizer Applications to Reddish Paddy Soils

Mineral nutrient inputs to soil may alter microbial activity and consequently influence the accumulation of microbial residues. In this study, we investigated the effects of application rates and ratios of mineral fertilizers on the microbial residue carbon(MRC) of reddish paddy soils after long-term(15-year) fertilizer applications in southern China. Contents of three soil amino sugars as microbial residue contents were determined and MRC were calculated based on amino sugars. Results showed that three individual amino sugar contents increased as fertilizer application rates increased until maximum values were reached at a rate of 450-59-187 kg ha~(-1) year~(-1)(N-P-K). The three amino sugar contents then declined significantly under the highest mineral fertilizer application rate of 675-88-280 kg ha~(-1) year~(-1)(N-P-K). In addition, to enhance the microbial residue contents, it was more beneficial to double P(N:P:K= 1:0.26:0.41) in fertilizers applied to the P-deficient reddish paddy soils than to double either N(N:P:K = 2:0.13:0.41) or K(N:P:K= 1:0.13:0.82). The contents of the three individual amino sugars and microbial residues under different fertilizer application rates and ratios were significantly and positively correlated with soil organic carbon(SOC), total N, total P, and p H. Increases in values of the fungal C to bacterial C ratios showed that soil organic matter(SOM) stability increased because of the fertilizer applications over the past 15 years. The contents and ratios of amino sugars can be used as indicators to evaluate the impact of mineral fertilizer applications on SOM dynamics in subtropical paddy soils. The results indicated that fertilizer applications at a rate of 450-59-187 kg ha~(-1) year~(-1)(N-P-K) may improve crop yields, SOC contents, and SOC stability in subtropical paddy soils.     

施肥对土壤不同碳形态及碳库管理指数的影响

分析了施肥对土壤活性碳（ＣＡ）、微生物生物量碳（ＣＭＢ）、矿化碳（ＣＭ）及碳库管理指数（ＣＰＭＩ）的影响。结果表明,不同土壤ＣＡ、ＣＭＢ、ＣＭ及ＣＰＭＩ的大小为：水稻土〉黄棕壤〉红壤〉潮土。施肥对ＣＡ和ＣＰＭＩ,ＣＭＢ和ＣＭ的影响分别为：处理３〉处理〉处理１〉处理４〉ＣＫ,处理３〉处理５〉处理４〉处理１〉ＣＫ。在提高ＣＡ、ＣＭＢ、ＣＭ及ＣＰＭＩ方面,稻草肥、绿肥优于厩肥,厩肥高量施用优于常量施用。
