Resistance and resilience of soil biological indicators: A case study with multi-walled carbon nanotube

Soil ecosystem is experiencing stresses due to climate change, and soil inhabitants try to demonstrate their inherent resistance and resilience against those stresses. Application of nanomaterials as agricultural inputs could bring shifts in resistance and resilience patterns of soil microbes and associated enzymes, especially under short-term heat stress. With this background, the impacts of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on the resistance and resilience of soil biological indicators were evaluated. An incubation experiment was conducted with varied MWCNT concentrations (0, 50, 100, 250, and 500 mg kg^-1 soil) for 90 d after 24-h heat stress at 48 ±2 ℃ to assess the impacts of MWCNT on soil enzyme activities and microbial populations vis-à-vis their resistance and resilience indices under short-term exposure to heat stress. Enzyme activities were reduced after exposure to heat stress. Resistance indices of enzyme activities were enhanced by MWCNT application on day 1 after heat stress, whereas there was no recovery of enzyme activities after 90-d incubation. Like soil enzyme activities, resistance index values of soil microbial populations followed the similar trend and were improved by MWCNT application. Multi-walled carbon nanotube has the potential to improve resistance indices of soil enzyme activities and microbial populations under heat stress, although they could not recover to their original state during periodical incubation after heat stress. This study helps to understand the relative changes of biological indicators under MWCNT and their ability to withstand heat stress.     

秸秆还田深度对春玉米农田土壤有机碳、氮含量和土壤酶活性的影响

为研究秸秆还田旋耕深度对土壤理化性质和酶活性的影响,明确不同秸秆还田深度条件下土壤理化性质与酶活性的关系,在3年（2016—2018年）田间微区定位试验条件下,研究秸秆旋耕还田10 cm（S₁D₁）、20 cm（S₁D₂）、30 cm（S₁D₃）和秸秆移除旋耕10 cm（S₂D₁）、20 cm（S₂D₂）、30 cm（S₂D₃） 6个处理对东北春玉米农田土壤理化性质和酶活性的影响。结果表明：旋耕深度（D）及其与秸秆处理（S）交互作用（S×D）显著影响土壤有机碳（SOC）含量,0~20 cm土层S₁D₁、S₁D₂处理SOC含量较S₁D₃处理高1.2%~16.0%,而20~40 cm土层S₂D₃处理SOC含量最高。旋耕深度、秸秆处理及两者交互作用对土壤硝态氮（NO₃^--N）和铵态氮（NH₄⁺-N）含量、蔗糖酶和过氧化氢酶活性影响显著。在0~40 cm土层,D₁、D₂旋耕深度下秸秆还田处理NO₃^--N含量比秸秆移除处理平均提高46.9%和34.9%,NH₄⁺-N含量平均降低31.6%和4.4%。在各旋耕深度下,S₁处理0~20 cm土层蔗糖酶和脲酶活性高于S₂处理,20~30 cm土层过氧化氢酶活性低于S₂处理。相关性分析表明,SOC、土壤全氮（TN）与NO₃^--N、NH₄⁺-N含量和蔗糖酶活性呈显著正相关,与pH、土壤含水量（SWC）呈显著负相关。主成分分析表明,与S₁D₁相比,S₁D₂对0~20土层蔗糖酶、脲酶、过氧化氢酶活性和0~40 cm土层SOC、TN含量影响更明显。综上所述,秸秆旋耕还田20 cm可改善0~40 cm土层养分水平,提高土壤酶活性,推荐为东北春玉米产区农田土壤培肥的合理秸秆还田方式。

Microbial remediation of a pentachloronitrobenzene-contaminated soil under Panax notoginseng: A field experiment

Pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) is an organochlorine fungicide that is mainly used in the prevention and control of diseases in crop seedlings. Microbial removal is used as a promising method for in-situ removal of many organic pesticides and pesticide residues. A short-term field experiment (1 year) was conducted to explore the potential role of a PCNB-degrading bacterial isolate, Cupriavidus sp. YNS-85, in the remediation of a PCNB-contaminated soil on which Panax notoginseng was grown. The following three treatments were used:i) control soil amended with wheat bran but without YNS-85, ii) soil with 0.15 kg m^-2 of solid bacterial inoculum (A), and iii) soil with 0.30 kg m^-2 of solid bacterial inoculum (B). The removal of soil PCNB during the microbial remediation was monitored using gas chromatography. Soil catalase and fluorescein diacetate (FDA) esterase activities were determined using spectrophotometry. In addition, cultivable bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes were counted by plating serial dilutions, and the microbial biodiversity of the soil was analyzed using BIOLOG. After 1 year of in-situ remediation, the soil PCNB concentrations decreased significantly by 50.3% and 74.2% in treatments A and B, respectively, when compared with the uninoculated control. The soil catalase activity decreased in the presence of the bacterial isolate, the FDA esterase activity decreased in treatment A, but increased in treatment B. No significant changes in plant biomass, diversity of the soil microbial community, or physicochemical properties of the soil were observed between the control and inoculated groups (P<0.05). The results indicate that Cupriavidus sp. YNS-85 is a potential candidate for the remediation of PCNB-contaminated soils under P. notoginseng.     

土壤不同形态碳氮含量和酶活性对培养时间及外源碳投入的响应

在绿色农业科技的推动下,有机物料资源化利用备受青睐,但有机物料种类不同对土壤肥力的提升效果不同,为探究有机物料施用对潮土不同形态碳氮含量及酶活性的动态影响,通过为期1年的培养试验,设置添加10 g/kg的秸秆菌渣(S)、树枝菌渣(B)、小麦秸秆(W)、黑麦草秸秆(R)和蚕豆秸秆(BB),并以空白处理作为对照(CK)。结果表明:与CK相比,有机物料施用显著增加土壤不同形态碳氮含量及酶活性,随培养时间的延长,有机碳及全氮含量呈增加的趋势,增幅分别为25.4%～42.9%和35%～60%,易氧化有机碳和碱解氮含量呈先上升后下降的趋势,最大值分别为2.80,43.26 mg/kg,水溶性有机碳、微生物量碳氮和酶活性则呈下降的趋势,最大值分别为346 mg/kg,293μg/g和23.08μg/g。有机物料施用会增加土壤酶活性提高土壤呼吸速率,通过对3个取样期7种水解酶的分析发现,酶活性表现为:LAPPHOSNAGBGCBAGXYL,即参与氮循环酶活性参与磷循环酶活性参与碳循环酶活性,绿肥秸秆主要增加氮循环酶活性,且以BB处理酶活性最高,菌菇渣主要增加碳循环酶活性,B处理酶活性高于S处理。有机物料施用会影响土壤酶活性,增加不同形态碳氮含量,但增幅因有机物料种类不同而有所差异,且碳氮组分对培养时间的响应不一。总体而言,小麦秸秆和蚕豆秸秆腐殖化系数最高,对不同组分碳氮含量增加效果最优。     

硅钙钾镁肥配施黄腐酸钾对土壤酶活性及桃幼树生长的影响

为探究硅钙钾镁肥配施黄腐酸钾对桃树生长的效应,以盆栽一年生瑞蟠21号毛桃(Amygdalus persica Linn.)为试验材料,设置3种不同施肥方式(T1:硅钙钾镁;T2:硅钙钾镁+黄腐酸钾;CK:空白对照),在桃幼树生长季进行追肥处理,研究硅钙钾镁肥及硅钙钾镁肥配施黄腐酸钾对土壤酶活性、土壤养分状况及桃幼树根系构型和植株生长的影响。结果表明,与CK相比,T1、T2均显著提高了桃幼树生长季各时期土壤酸性磷酸酶、脲酶和过氧化氢酶活性,以及土壤中碱解氮、有效磷、速效钾和有效硅等含量,且配施黄腐酸钾后作用更明显。与CK相比,T1、T2细根比重分别提高了11.2%和26.2%,根系活力分别提高了12.2%和18.1%,根系总长度分别增加了28.1%和61.9%,且有效延缓了根系衰老;T1、T2植株总干重分别提高了1.2倍和2.0倍,根冠比分别提高了9.4%和17.0%,且差异显著。与CK相比,T1、T2各器官中全氮、全磷、全钾含量均显著增加,地上部硅含量分别提高了61.3%和91.9%,地下部硅含量分别提高了62.3%和102.5%,且差异显著。同时,T1、T2桃幼树叶片叶绿素含量和净光合速率均显著提高。综上所述,硅钙钾镁肥可有效提高土壤酶活,促进桃幼树细根的生长,延缓根系衰老进程,增加氮、磷、钾、硅等营养元素积累量,提高叶片光合速率,促进植株生长;硅钙钾镁肥配施黄腐酸钾后,提高了土壤有效硅及植株硅含量,比单施硅钙钾镁肥效果更加显著。本研究结果为桃树合理施用硅钙钾镁肥提供了理论依据。     

不同土壤管理方式下幼龄柑橘根区土壤酶活性动态变化

以盆栽2年生纽荷尔脐橙为试材,研究了清耕、自然生草和间种绿肥条件下幼龄柑橘生长期内根区土壤酶活性的动态变化。结果表明,间种绿肥和生草能显著提高柑橘根际土壤脲酶和蛋白酶活性,但2种酶的峰值出现时间不同,脲酶的峰值出现在绿肥成熟期和压青后,而蛋白酶峰值出现在压青前,压青引起蛋白酶活性降低。生草和间种绿肥的柑橘根际土壤过氧化氢酶略高于对照,但3处理间无明显差异;压青会引起过氧化氢酶活性降低,随着绿肥压青后腐解,过氧化氢酶又开始回升。因此,柑橘园内间种绿肥要适时压青。     

控释肥残膜对小麦各生育期土壤微生物和酶活性的影响

为了探明控释肥树脂残膜对土壤环境可能造成的影响,采用小麦池栽试验研究了控释肥树脂残膜对土壤有关微生物数量和酶活性的影响。结果表明,控释肥树脂残膜使土壤细菌和放线菌数量分别相对增加了19.01%～62.87%和17.03%～132.39%,土壤脲酶、转化酶、中性磷酸酶活性分别提高了17.39%～85.71%、31.77%～158.40%、35.14%～189.47%,但对过氧化氢酶活性无明显影响。施肥处理（施肥不施残膜和施肥施残膜处理）显著增加了土壤转化酶和中性磷酸酶活性;但对土壤细菌和放线菌数量、过氧化氢酶和脲酶活性没有显著影响。控释肥树脂残膜施用量在90～360g/m2 范围内,对土壤细菌和放线菌数量以及有关土壤酶活性没有产生不良影响。
