Earthworm populations and growth rates related to long-term crop residue and tillage management

Conventional tillage creates soil physical conditions that may restrict earthworm movement and accelerate crop residue decomposition, thus reducing the food supply for earthworms. These negative impacts may be alleviated by retaining crop residues in agroecosystems. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of various tillage and crop residue management practices on earthworm populations in the field and earthworm growth under controlled conditions. Population assessments were conducted at two long-term (15+ years) experimental sites in Québec, Canada with three tillage systems: moldboard plow/disk harrow (CT), chisel plow or disk harrow (RT) and no tillage (NT), as well as two levels of crop residue inputs (high and low). Earthworm growth was assessed in intact soil cores from both sites. In the field, earthworm populations and biomass were greater with long-term NT than CT and RT practices, but not affected by crop residue management. Laboratory growth rates of Aporrectodea turgida (Eisen) in intact soil cores were affected by tillage and residue inputs, and were positively correlated with the soil organic C pool, suggesting that tillage and residue management practices that increase the soil organic C pool provide more organic substrates for earthworm growth. The highest earthworm growth rates were in soils from RT plots with high residue input, which differed from the response of earthworm populations to tillage and residue management treatments in the field. Our results suggest that tillage-induced disturbance probably has a greater impact than food availability on earthworm populations in cool, humid agroecosystems.     

华北地区冬小麦-夏玉米轮作体系的氮素循环与平衡

对华北地区冬小麦-夏玉米轮作体系农田氮素输入输出的数量特征、平衡状况进行了分析,并评估其优化潜力。研究表明,华北地区冬小麦-夏玉米轮作体系农田每年的氮素输入中,化学氮肥、农家肥、降水、灌溉、非生物固氮和种子带入农田的氮分别为545、68、21、15、15和5kghm-2a-1,氮素年输入总量为669kghm-2a-1;每年的氮素输出中,作物收获带走的氮为311kghm-2a-1,而氨挥发、反硝化和淋洗损失的氮分别为120、16和136kghm-2a-1,氮素年输出总量为583kghm-2a-1;氮素年盈余量为86kghm-2a-1。目前我国华北地区冬小麦-夏玉米轮作体系农田氮素处于大量赢余状态,从而导致氮素大量损失。因此,加强氮肥管理,提高氮肥利用率,加大有机肥施用的力度,是华北地区农田氮素资源管理的长期任务。

Analysis of the variations in dry matter yield and resource use efficiency of maize under different rates of nitrogen,phosphorous and water supply

Abstract

Increasing resources use efficiency in intensive cultivation systems of maize (Zea mays L.) can play an important role in increasing the production and sustainability of agricultural systems. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate DM yield and the efficiency of inputs uses under different levels of water, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in maize. Therefore, three levels of irrigation including 80 (ETc₈₀), 100 (ETc₁₀₀) and 120% (ETc₁₂₀) of crop evapotranspiration were considered as the main plots, and the factorial combination of three levels of zero (N₀), 200 (N₂₀₀) and 400 (N₄₀₀) kg N ha^?1 with three levels of zero (P₀), 100(P₁₀₀) and 200 (P₂₀₀) kg P ha^?1 was considered as the sub plots. The results showed that increasing the consumption of water and P was led to the reduction of N and P utilization efficiency, while RUE increased. WUE was also increased in response to application of N and P, but decreased when ET_C increased. DM yield under ETc₈₀ treatment reduced by 11 and 12%, respectively, compared to ETc₁₀₀ and ETc₁₂₀ which was due to reduction of cumulative absorbed radiation (R_abs(cum)) and RUE. Under these conditions, changes of stomatal conductance (gs) had little effect on DM yield. It was also found that N limitation caused 11 and 20% reduction in DM yield compared to N₂₀₀ and N₄₀₀, respectively. This yield reduction was mainly the result of decrease in RUE. By decreasing R_abs(cum), P deficiency also reduced DM yield by 5 and 9%, respectively, relative to P₁₀₀ and P₂₀₀ treatments.     

全球气候变化下中国农田土壤碳库未来变化

农田土壤碳库对缓解气候变化、保证粮食安全具有重要作用。日益加剧的气候变化对农田土壤有机碳库演变的潜在影响受到广泛关注。全球气候变化所带来的温度、降雨和大气二氧化碳（CO₂）浓度的改变,会通过影响净初级生产力（NPP）、外源碳投入和有机碳分解速率等因素改变生态系统碳循环过程。另外,气候变化也会通过改变土地利用方式和种植制度等农业措施改变生态系统碳循环。综述国内外农田土壤碳库演变对气候变化影响的研究成果表明,到21世纪末,中国气温将会升高3.9-6.0℃,降水有望增加9%-11%。至2050年,气温和降水的变化会造成中国农田系统碳投入相比1980年降低2.3%-10%（小麦、玉米和水稻平均值）。相反,在综合考虑CO₂浓度升高的协同作用后,2050年中国农田系统碳投入相比1990年前将会增加13%-22%（平均年增长率0.2%-0.4%）。模型预测显示,至2020、2050和2080年,中国旱地0-30 cm土层有机碳在CO₂低排放情景下分别会损失2.7、6.0和 7.8 tC·hm^-2,在CO₂高排放情景下分别会损失2.9、6.8和8.2 tC·hm^-2,大概占1980年农田土壤碳的4.5%、10.5%和12.7%。综合碳投入和排放对农田土壤碳库的整体影响来看,21世纪末期中国农田土壤有机碳库含量较1980年会下降10%左右,但如果采取相应的管理措施,可有效抑制农田土壤碳库的降低甚至提高,如农田系统碳投入以每年1%的速度增加时,土壤碳库会在21世纪末增加两倍。目前的研究结果显示,气候变化是否会强烈影响农田土壤碳库依然有很大的不确定因素,其对固碳效应正面和负面影响相互抵消后成为碳源还是碳汇说法不一。因此,在采取缓解气候变化、增加农田土壤固碳的措施的同时,还需加强农田土壤碳库未来变化趋势的研究和探索,为中国政策框架的决定以及未来气候变化谈判提供可靠的科学依据。     

有机、无机磷肥配施对宁夏引黄灌区露地蔬菜磷素吸收利用与磷平衡的影响

2011—2013年,在宁夏引黄灌区利用田间定位试验研究了不同有机、无机磷肥配施对露地蔬菜的产量、磷素吸收利用、土壤无机磷残留和磷平衡的影响,并提出了合理的磷肥投入阈值。结果表明,过量增施磷肥对露地蔬菜的增产作用不显著。露地蔬菜经济产量与施磷量都符合二次曲线关系,花椰菜、紫甘蓝和大白菜最大产量施磷量分别为P2O5332.3、304.5、377.8 kg/hm2,最佳经济施磷量分别为P2O5282.9、271.2、365.3 kg/hm2。增施磷肥能促进露地蔬菜地上部磷素吸收累积,磷肥利用率随化学磷肥用量增加而降低。随着施磷水平的提高,0~20 cm土壤Olsen-P和Ca Cl2-P含量都呈增加趋势。土壤磷平衡与施磷量呈线性正相关关系,化肥磷施用量越高土壤磷素盈余越大。2011—2013年花椰菜、紫甘蓝和大白菜季合理的磷肥投入阈值范围分别为[141.0,332.3]、[107.1,304.5]和[104.9,377.8],施磷量、蔬菜产量及地上部吸磷量是影响该阈值范围的主要因素。

Fuel consumption as indicator of the economics in mechanization

After a brief discussion of production functions as models for input/output relations in forest work operations, studies of the cost of machine use are reviewed. It is suggested that the fuel consumption of a forest machine can be used as a parameter for assessing the true, total cost of using a machine, exclusively the wage of the operator. Fuel then is not only an input but also represents all other cost items such as capital (depreciation, interest), repairs and maintenance. This has the advantage that all machines in a system can be aggregated and their costs assessed by an easily quantified parameter. Capital (in the form of machines) in production functions, through which the optimum mix of labour and machines for minimizing the cost per unit of production is determined, can be substituted by fuel. It is also suggested that fuel consumption can be used in management as an aggregate indicator in planning, control, remuneration of work and forecasting.     

竹林养分循环规律研究：Ⅲ.毛竹纯林竹秆流及其养分输入

在我国毛竹主要产区浙江省安吉县灵峰寺林场试验林的三个区组中，根据立竹直径分布规律确定样竹处理数后，随机布置总共30套秆流收集装置，持续观察21个月，共获91次秆流水。测定每次秆流水量并分析其N、P、K、Ca、Mg含量以研究毛竹林内秆流的变化动态及其养分输入。结果表明：秆流水中不含Ca，其它四元素的年输入量分别为N-1．8557，P-0．0072，K-0.7849，Mg-0.1569，Kg.ha－1；年秆流量为年降水量的12．5％，无论次、月秆流量与相应降水量均为紧密线性相关，但与立竹粗度为显著非线性相关；其它因子，如：立竹所处的坡位、坡向，竹林密度，钩梢强度，立竹分布状况，植株个体表面结构特征等，亦直接或间接地影响着竹秆流的产生和大小。
