秦巴山区黄牛群体的微卫星DNA遗传多样性

为分析秦巴山区西镇牛、赤崖牛、陨巴牛和宣汉牛4个黄牛(Bos taurus)品种的遗传多样性,本研究以蜀宣花牛和郏县红牛作对照,利用12对微卫星引物对6个黄牛品种的289头黄牛个体进行了遗传多样性检测,统计了各品种的等位基因及频率、有效等位基因数、遗传杂合度、多态信息含量及各群体间遗传距离,并对其进行聚类分析.结果表明,6个黄牛品种在12个微卫星位点共发现110个等位基因,等位基因频率为0.001 6～0.517 3,总群体各位点平均有效等位基因数为2.787 7～7.132 6;各位点多态信息含量为0.5192～0.895 3;平均杂合度为0.667 2～0.724 1.群体间发现特有等位基因11个,基因频率为0.008 1～0.381 6;优势等位基因(P＞0.4) 19个,基因频率为0.403 2～0.820 0;共有等位基因41个,占全部等位基因的37.27％,仅有13个共有等位基因为优势等位基因(P＞0.4),占37.71％.群体间Nei's遗传一致度为0.596 5～0.840 8,标准遗传距离(Ds)为0.173 5～0.524 7.聚类分析结果显示,6个黄牛品种聚为3类,陨巴牛与宣汉牛首先聚在一起,然后同西镇牛聚在一类;赤崖牛与郏县红牛聚为一类;蜀宣花牛自成一类.研究结果表明,12对微卫星标记可用于秦巴山区黄牛遗传多样性的分析,秦巴山区各黄牛品种遗传多样性丰富,选育程度不同,4个黄牛品种虽然地理分布格局相近,自然环境相似,但亲缘关系并非相近,应为来源不同的品种.因此,西镇牛、赤崖牛、陨巴牛和宣汉牛不宜合并为1个品种.本研究所揭示的秦巴山区黄牛品种的遗传分化特点及亲缘关系,为研究品种的遗传共适应特点,预测杂交优势,制定育种战略等提供了科学依据.     

The Effect of Poultry Manure and P Fertilizer on Some Phosphorus Fractions in Some Soils of Southwestern Nigeria: An Incubation Study

An incubation experiment was conducted in the laboratory for 10 weeks to study the changes in some phosphorus (P) fractions in two soil series. Poultry manure was applied at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 t ha^?1 solely and in combination with single superphosphate (SSP) at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 kg P ha^?1. Significant increases in all the P fractions were observed to the 6th week of incubation (WAI). Sole application of poultry manure was, however, effective in reducing P occlusion in the two soil series used. An increase in Fe–P which was the largest extractable inorganic P was observed with the application of 10 t ha^?1 of poultry manure and 30 kg P ha^?1 of SSP in the Iwo series and combination of 20 t ha^?1 of poultry manure and 45 kg P ha^?1 of SSP in the Alagba series.     

Salinity tolerance of earthworms and effects of salinity and vermi amendments on growth of Sorghum bicolor

Salinity is a major factor limiting irrigated agriculture in arid regions. Vermi amendments can be used for improving the fertility of salt-affected soils. Current study was aimed to find out the response of different earthworm species to soil salinity and to check the effects of salinity and different vermi amendments on growth of Sorghum bicolor under salt stress. Eight earthworm species were subjected to different salinity levels for 4 weeks. Various vermi amendments and salinity treatments were provided in a factorial combination to S. bicolor plants to see their effect on growth and biomass parameters. L. mauritii, E. incommodus and P. posthuma were found to be the most salt-tolerant species showing good survival and growth till soil EC_e value of 10.48 mS cm^?1. Results showed that salinity significantly decreased plant growth that was enhanced by the application of different vermi amendments. Maximum growth of S. bicolor was recorded when vermicompost and vermiwash were used together under both saline and non-saline conditions. The results showed that the application of vermi amendments improved nutritional balance of the soil, delayed salt-induced damage to the plants and supported their growth so can be helpful in increasing crop production on saline soils.     

Nitrous oxide emission from a transplanted rice field in alluvial soil as influenced by management of nitrogen fertiliser

We investigated nitrous oxide (N₂O) emission from an irrigated rice field over two years to evaluate the management of nitrogenous fertiliser and its effect on reducing emissions. Four forms of nitrogenous fertilisers: NPK at the recommended application rate, starch–urea matrix (SUM) + PK, neem‐coated urea + PK and urea alone (urea without coating) were used. Gas samples were collected from the field at weekly intervals with the static chamber technique. N₂O emissions from different treatments ranged from 11.58 to 215.81 N₂O‐N μg/m²/h, and seasonal N₂O emissions from 2.83 to 3.89 kg N₂O‐N/ha. Compared with other fertilisers, N₂O emissions were greatest after the application of the conventional NPK fertiliser. Moreover, SUM + PK reduced total N₂O emissions by 22.33% (P < 0.05) compared with NPK during the rice‐growing period (P < 0.05). The results indicate a strong correlation between N₂O emissions and soil organic carbon, nitrate, ammonium, above‐ and below‐ground plant biomass and photosynthesis (P < 0.05). The application of SUM + PK in rice fields is suitable as a means of reducing N₂O emissions without affecting grain production.     

Limited effects of land use on soil dissolved organic matter chemistry as assessed by excitation–emission fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular weight fractionation

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil solution represents a complex mixture of organic molecules and plays a central role in carbon and nitrogen cycling in plant–microbial–soil systems. We tested whether excitation–emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy can be used to characterize DOM and support previous findings that the majority of DOM is of high molecular weight (MW). EEM fluorescence spectroscopy was used in conjunction with MW fractionation to characterize DOM in soil solution from a grassland soil land management gradient in North Wales, UK. Data analysis suggested that three distinct fluorescence components could be separated and identified from the EEM data. These components were identified as being of humic‐like or fulvic‐like origin. Contrary to expectations, the majority of the fluorescence signal occurred in the small MW (<1 kDa) fraction, although differences between soils from the differently managed grasslands were more apparent in larger MW fractions. We conclude that following further characterization of the chemical composition of the fluorophores, EEM has potential as a sensitive technique for characterizing the small MW phenolic fraction of DOM in soils.     

金针菇菌渣对川西北高寒沙地植被及土壤酶活性的影响

为探究施用金针菇菌渣对川西北高寒沙化土地植被、土壤有机碳和土壤酶活性的影响,通过田间试验和土壤样品采集与化验,研究了不同菌渣量处理下川西北高寒沙地植被、土壤理化性质及酶活性变化特征。研究结果表明,15kg/m2菌渣混施(F4)、10kg/m2菌渣混施(F3)、5kg/m2菌渣混施(F1)处理下地表植被盖度、高度、生物量、土壤含水量、有机碳及酶活性显著高于对照(CK),土壤容重显著低于CK。F4处理下,植被盖度、高度、生物量、土壤含水量、有机碳、纤维素酶、淀粉酶、蔗糖酶和多酚氧化酶活性分别增加了272.20%,144.51%,228.85%,616.46%,93.25%,135.90%,129.22%,154.41%,99.88%,115.03%;土壤容重降低了39.04%。说明菌渣与土壤混施对于川西北高寒沙化草地植被恢复、土壤理化性质改善和土壤酶活性提高具有显著效果,且随着菌渣施用量的增加作用效果增强。F2处理下土壤有机碳、纤维素酶、淀粉酶、蔗糖酶和多酚氧化酶活性与CK相比差异未达显著水平,但显著低于F1、F3、F4处理,表明菌渣地表覆盖方式施用效果不及混合施入土壤方式。相关性分析结果表明,有机碳、地下生物量、纤维素酶、淀粉酶、蔗糖酶和多酚氧化酶活性两两之间极显著相关(P0.01)。     

Nitrogen Mineralization as Influenced by Different Organic Manures in an Inceptisol in the Foothill Himalayas

Nitrogen-use efficiency can be enhanced through an understanding of the nitrogen (N) mineralization behavior of organic sources. An incubation study was conducted to assess the impact of organic manures on N mineralization. The manures, farmyard manure (FYM), Leucaena leucocephala, and poultry manure, were applied to the soil alone or along with urea. There was a rapid increase in the amount of mineral N released with a peak appearing either at 14 days (+urea treatments) or 21 days (manure only) of aerobic incubation. Thereafter the net N mineralized decreased gradually and levelled off beyond day 56. Overall the cumulative net N mineralized after 98 days of incubation was in the order urea > Leucaena + urea > poultry manure + urea _> FYM + urea > Leucaena > poultry manure > FYM > zero N. The potentially mineralizable N (N₀) was lower in treatments where urea was not applied.     

Lettuce response to organic and phosphate fertilizers and root mycorrhization

The response of lettuce to production system, organic and phosphate fertilizers and root mycorrhization, was evaluated in two pot trials with factorial treatment combination of: (i) soil type (from organic and from conventional production systems) and organic fertilizer (0, 2 and 4 t ha^?1) in the first trial; and (ii) mycorrhizal inoculation (mycorrhized and non-mycorrhized plants) and Gafsa phosphate (0, 100 and 200 kg P₂O₅ ha^?1) in the second. Lettuce growth decreased with increasing rates of the organic fertilizer because of its very high electrical conductivity (50.1 dS m^?1) and lack of maturation. However, the fertilizer harmful effects were minimized in the soil from organic production. The application of Gafsa phosphate significantly increased lettuce yield and nutrient uptake. However, for the highest rate of phosphate, mycorrhized lettuce yield decreased compared to non-mycorrhized lettuce, suggesting that high soil available P may have harmful effects on the activity of mycorrhizal fungi.     

有机种植与常规种植体系的比较——基于土壤与肥料的视角

有机种植体系因其安全、绿色、可持续的特点在国内外得到了普遍关注,自其发展以来,关于有机与常规种植体系的比较屡见不鲜,但基于土壤与肥料视角的系统比较在国内还鲜见报道。土壤为植物提供了直接生活环境,从土壤与肥料的角度能全面地理解有机与常规种植体系的本质不同及影响。本文综合分析了前人的研究结果,从土壤与肥料的视角对有机和常规种植体系进行系统比较,初步阐述了两种种植体系下作物产量、品质、土壤肥力效应、环境效应的差异及产生差异的可能原因。分析发现在作物种植初期有机体系的产量大多低于常规体系,但增产潜力较大;相比常规种植体系,有机种植体系可改善土壤性质、提高土壤肥力,且一般有助于提高农产品品质;此外,有机种植体系对大气环境和水环境的污染风险低于常规种植体系。产生差异的原因可能是有机种植体系下,前期土壤氮素及速效养分释放较缓慢,且随着种植年限的增加,土壤固碳能力逐渐增强,土壤微生物多样性增加,土壤养分利用率提高。     

川西贡嘎山不同森林生态系统土壤有机碳垂直分布与组成特征

通过野外采样与室内实验相结合的方法,对川西典型亚高山不同海拔处暗针叶林、针阔混交林和常绿-落叶阔叶林3种森林类型表层土壤总有机碳（SOC）和活性有机碳的含量特征进行分析,旨在为亚高山生态系统土壤碳循环研究提供理论和数据支撑。结果表明：3种森林类型土壤中总有机碳含量（SOC）在44.21～179.98g·kg-1,表层（0-15cm）SOC含量大小顺序为针阔混交林＞常绿-落叶阔叶林＞暗针叶林,0-5cm土层SOC含量与活性有机碳含量均高于5-15cm土层,说明土壤有机碳具有土壤表聚现象。3种森林类型间SOC密度差异不显著,但不同森林类型土壤SOC密度沿土层的分布具有差别：与常绿-落叶阔叶林和暗针叶林相比,针阔混交林5-15cm土层SOC密度较高。土壤溶解性有机碳（DOC）、轻组分有机碳（LFOC）和微生物（MBC）含量均以针阔混交林最高,但其相对于SOC的比例则以暗针叶林最高,说明高海拔生态系统土壤活性有机碳有更大的累积,同时也暗示在气候变化背景下,高海拔生态系统可能具有更大的CO2排放风险。
