灌溉施用废水和蚯蚓类肥料对土壤生物化学以及农学特性的影响

To study how wastewater（WW） and different organic sources（humic substances or vermicompost） affected soil chemical and biochemical fertility and agronomic productivity in field-grown melon, an experiment arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted with the following treatments： three different mixtures of irrigation water（100% WW, 50% WW with 50% groundwater, and 100% groundwater） and, for each WW treatment, four different organic fertilization treatments of control without organic matter application（CK）, vermicompost used as surface mulch（SM）, vermicompost incorporated into the soil（VC）,and humic substances extracted by vermicompost（HS）. Chemical and biochemical results indicated an improvement in soil fertility,suggested by the increase in soil organic carbon and nutrient（nitrate and macro- and microelements） contents and in soil microbial activities（hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes）, in particular in the VC treatments. In addition, even soil potential metabolism was stimulated by WW combined with organic treatments, as highlighted by the increase in the metabolic（dehydrogenase activity/watersoluble carbon） and nitrification indices（NO-3and NH＋4）. Melon productivity confirmed these results, with the highest yield and melon quality in the VC treatments irrigated with 100% WW. In conclusion, the combined use of WW and organic amendment,recovering both mineral and organic nutrients from these kinds of recycled materials, was effective in the improvement of soil quality and crop productivity.     

海南岛红树林湿地土壤有机碳分布规律及影响因素研究

以海南岛为例,选择环岛东、西、南、北四个方向的典型红树林群落,对土壤进行取样,测定土壤有机碳含量,计算土壤有机碳密度。通过对比群落结构、土壤理化性质、不同区域的自然条件,探讨红树林土壤有机碳的分布规律以及影响碳储量的主要因素。研究表明,土壤有机碳分布特征在垂直方向上差异显著,土壤有机碳含量最大值出现在20~40 cm,土壤有机碳密度最大值出现在0~20cm;不同群落类型土壤有机碳含量存在明显差异,以东寨港红树林为例,海莲群落土壤有机碳含量最高,为20.89±6.75 g kg-1,人工无瓣海桑林最低,为12.71±3.62 g kg-1,进一步相关分析显示,土壤有机碳含量与群落植株胸径和基盖度呈显著正相关,与株高无关;在空间分布上,表现为东方四泌湾文昌清澜港儋州新英湾海口东寨港三亚湾。最后结合海南岛红树林面积,得出海南岛红树林土壤有机碳总储量为2.39×106t。     

水分状况对红壤水稻土中有机物料碳分解和分布的影响

以室内模拟的方法研究了好气、淹水和干湿交替3种水分条件下有机物料碳在红壤水稻土中分解和分布的差异。试验结果表明,干湿交替条件下有机物料的分解速率最高,好气条件下次之,淹水条件下较低。好气和淹水条件下添加物料促进土壤原有有机碳的矿化,产生正激发效应,而干湿交替条件显著抑制了土壤原有有机碳的矿化,呈负激发效应,随着培养时间的延长激发效应减弱。干湿交替条件下添加有机物料处理的土壤胡敏酸(Humic acid,HA)色调系数和E4/E6比值显著低于淹水和好气条件,淹水培养使土壤胡敏酸的结构简单化,干湿交替使胡敏酸芳构化和腐殖化程度增加,结构复杂化。有机物料碳在土壤腐殖质组分中的分配比例显示,干湿交替和好气条件促进了胡敏酸的形成,提高了土壤原有富里酸(Fulvic acid,FA)组分的转化和胡敏酸组分的分解;淹水条件下物料碳在富里酸组分中分布比例较高,且抑制了土壤原有胡敏酸组分的分解。有机物料碳在0.053 mm粒级团聚体中分布比例较大,干湿交替和淹水条件下更为明显。     

泥炭湿地碳储量核算与其影响因素分析

泥炭湿地占全球陆地表面积的2%~3%和全球湿地面积的40%~70%,却存储3.0×1017~6.0×1017g碳。以前有关泥炭湿地碳储量的研究主要偏重于土壤,尤其在北方,缺乏对植被和枯枝落叶层的综合报道。本文综述了近些年来全球泥炭地碳储量(土壤碳储量、植被碳储量和枯枝落叶层碳储量)核算的研究进展。目前,全球泥炭地碳储量的核算仍存在较大的不确定性,其主要原因是全球泥炭地碳储量核算方法的数据信息不足,缺乏植被生物量、地表凋落物、碳质量分数、深度、容重和面积等全面数据,尤其是关于全球泥炭地面积较大的地区或国家;其次,人为干扰活动也进一步增加了全球泥炭地碳储量估算的不确定性,使得碳储量估算变得更困难。我国湿地面积居亚洲第一,世界第四,然而泥炭地/湿地有机碳储量估算与其他国家比较,相差较大,数据信息不足且存在较大波动。因此,为了提高泥炭湿地碳储量的估计精度和预测陆地生态系统应对气候变化响应机制的准确性,进一步加大泥炭地碳储量研究是非常必要的。     

蚯蚓蓄积疏水性有机污染物的过程及预测模型

简述了蚯蚓蓄积疏水性有机污染物(HOC)的过程和影响因素,并介绍了几种预测蚯蚓蓄积疏水性有机污染物的模型,包括经验模型、速率模型、平衡分配模型、机制模型和逸度模型。一般地,蚯蚓蓄积疏水性有机污染物的途径包括经口和经皮两条,主要方式是简单扩散,其中对于大多数疏水性有机污染物,经皮途径占主导地位,然而随着疏水性的提高(logK ow5),经口途径贡献增大,尤其是在有机质含量高的土壤中。不同的蓄积预测模型除速率模型外均是基于三个假设:(1)疏水性有机污染物,主要是持久性有机污染物,在土壤-蚯蚓系统间的基本行为是土壤固液之间和蚯蚓生物相之间的分配平衡过程;(2)蚯蚓的脂肪相是此类污染物的主要蓄积库;(3)污染物在蚯蚓体内不存在或者存在可忽略的代谢和生物转化过程。最后提出未来的研究应该重视疏水性有机污染物在蚯蚓体的内部行为如分布,以更好地了解蚯蚓毒理上的相关信息。     

菜地旱地交错分布区土壤有机碳和有效态微量元素的空间变异性—以山东寿光古城镇为例

基于GIS和地统计学方法,以山东寿光古城镇为例,分析了两种利用方式下（大棚蔬菜和小麦玉米轮作）表层（020 cm）土壤有机碳的空间变异特征及其影响因素,并分析了土壤有机碳含量与有效态微量元素含量之间的相关性。结果表明,研究区内大棚菜地有机碳平均含量高于小麦玉米轮作农田,两者变异程度均为中等,受施肥、温度、灌溉、翻耕等人为因素的影响显著。菜地耕层土壤有机碳的变程（749 m）小于农田（1460 m）,说明菜地有机碳空间变异程度高,这与菜地中施肥管理措施变异度更大有关。轮作区土壤有机碳空间分布模拟结果表明,研究区中部土壤有机碳含量较高,中东部和西部较低。大棚菜地土壤有机碳空间模拟结果表明,土壤有机碳较高值分布于研究区的东北、西北和东南区域,较低值分布在中西部北边位置。小麦玉米轮作农田中有机碳存储量与有效Fe、Cu、B含量呈极显著正相关,与有效Mn呈极显著负相关;菜地土壤有机碳与微量元素有效态之间的相关性不明显。     

温度底物浓度和微量元素对牛粪厌氧发酵产沼气的影响

洱海流域畜禽奶牛粪便的无序堆置和不合理处置对洱海入湖污染具有较大贡献,为了控制畜禽养殖污染,该研究在结合洱海流域现有中温沼气工程产气率低、运行不稳定、易结壳等问题的基础上,通过取样当地奶牛粪为原料,研究温度、接种量和微量元素等3种因素对中温厌氧发酵产沼气过程的影响,并运用响应面法优化微量元素的添加量,以筛选出适于高原地区奶牛粪便中温厌氧发酵的沼气工程操作参数。试验结果表明:发酵温度为35℃条件下原料产气量大于30和45℃;35℃的发酵温度有利于挥发性脂肪酸(volatile fat acids,VFA)的产生与甲烷菌再利用;发酵温度为35℃时,发酵各个阶段4类菌群的数量多于30和45℃;因此,发酵温度为35℃时,牛粪厌氧发酵系统微生物区系中各类功能微生物数量与比例最佳,适合于中温厌氧发酵微生物菌群的生长、代谢;接种量越大发酵启动越快,接种量10%总产气量最大,未接种试验组,发酵启动较慢,总产气量也较低;通过中心复合试验设计和响应曲面回归分析确定得出,添加微量元素Fe2+质量浓度5.00 mg/L、Ni2+质量浓度21.40μg/L、Co2+质量浓度28.82μg/L时,可刺激厌氧发酵过程的作用酶以促进产气。本研究在资源化利用养殖废物的同时,提高了沼气工程产气率,试验结果为洱海流域农村养殖粪便厌氧发酵沼气工程正常运行提供理论依据。     

不同放牧强度荒野地区的大型土壤动物群落具有异质性

Moderate grazing by cattle increases the heterogeneity of soil and vegetation. This has been suggested as an ecologically sustainable mean of managing natural environments endangered by tree encroachment, such as heathlands. Our study was performed to test the impact of grazing intensity on soil macroinvertebrate communities in heterogeneous landscapes in a private property eligible to the Natura 2000 European Network of Special Protection Areas within the Brenne Natural Regional Park (Indre, France). We sampled macroinvertebrates along a broken line crossing 5 different land-use types, from pasture to pine forest, passing through a besom heath (Erica scoparia) heathland at 3 levels of cattle pressure. We hypothesized that: i) litter-dwelling (mostly arthropods and mollusks) and soil-dwelling macroinvertebrates (mostly earthworms) would respond in an opposite manner to various grazing intensities, and ii) intermediate cattle pressure (pastured heath) would increase soil and community heterogeneity. The results supported the first hypothesis, which was explained by land-use impacts mediated by soil properties. However, our results supported only partly the second hypothesis since maximum dissimilarity (whether in the composition of soil macroinvertebrate communities or in soil features) was observed in only one out of the two pastured heaths where cattle pressure was intermediate.     

Nitrogen fixation,biomass production,and nutrient uptake by annual Sesbania species in an alkaline soil

Summary In three field trials conducted during the summer season of 1986, 1987 and 1989 in an alkaline soil, 17 accessions of annual Sesbania spp. were evaluated for nodulation, N₂ fixation (acetylene reduction assay), dry weight of roots and shoots, woody biomass production, and nutrient uptake. At 50 days after sowing all the accessions were effectively nodulated (average 36.4 root nodules plant^-1) with a high nodule score (3.4). There was a lot of variation in nodule volume and mass and in acetylene reduction activity but not in N content (5.2%). N uptake in shoots, roots and nodules averaged 639, 31, and 13 mg plant^-1, respectively, and much of the fixed N remained in shoots. Accessions of S. cannabina complex performed better than others. S. rostrata had poor root nodulation but exhibited excellent stem nodulation (300 nodules plant^-1) even though not inoculated with Azorhizobium sp. Average concentrations of N, P, K, S, Ca, and Mg in the shoots were high, at 3.2, 0.28, 1.5, 0.28, 1.5, and 0.4% respectively, and Na was low (0.15%), reflecting the usefulness of Sesbania spp. as an integrated biofertilizer source. Green matter production was 26.0 Mg ha^-1 (5.9 Mg dry matter) and N uptake was 158 kg ha^-1, 54 days after sowing. Average woody biomass of six accessions at maturity, 200 days after sowing, was high (19.9 Mg ha^-1), showing its potential for shortterm firewood production. Total nutrient uptake for production of woody biomass (200 days of growth) was no more demanding than growing the plant to the green-manuring stage of 50–60 days' growth.     

Soil erosion under different harvesting managements in steep forestlands from northern Spain

In spite of the high risk of erosion, highly mechanized operations, in which humus layer removal and down-slope ploughing are practised, are often employed to prepare steep forestlands for planting. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect on soil loss of three post-harvesting management systems usually used in a mountainous region of northern Spain. The techniques evaluated were (a) conventional stem-only harvesting, (b) whole-tree harvesting and humus layer removal and (c) whole-tree harvesting and humus layer removal followed by down-slope deep ploughing. Soil erosion was measured in a total of 39 recently clear-felled Pinus radiata plantations over the period between the stand harvesting and establishment of understorey vegetation. They were located on slopes with gradients of between 40 and 50 per cent. For all treatments the associated runoff–rainfall ratios were high, indicating inherent low permeability of the soil. Intense site preparation resulted in considerable decreases in soil organic matter and increases in bulk density, which decreased the hydraulic conductivity and subsequently produced higher runoff. These deteriorations of soil properties delayed the establishment of pioneer vegetation thus extending the period of high erosion. In the ploughed soils, the higher soil erodibility and the removal of slash and vegetation cover resulted in a four-fold increase of soil losses when compared with no mechanical site preparation. The results indicate that, in order to maintain the soil productivity, and for conservation purposes, harvesting management should minimize the soil disturbances and maintain the slash and vegetation cover.
