模拟酸雨与凋落物对柳杉幼苗根际土壤酶活性的影响

为了探讨酸雨和凋落物对柳杉Cryptomeria fortunei林地土壤酶活性的影响,以柳杉幼苗根际土壤为材料,采用酸雨(pH 4.0),凋落物(500 g·m-2)和酸雨与凋落物复合等3种处理,测定了短时间(30 d)和长时间(90 d)处理后土壤氧化还原酶和水解酶活性的变化。结果表明:酸雨和凋落物处理对土壤氧化还原酶活性具有不同的影响,酸雨对土壤硝酸还原酶活性无显著影响,凋落物极显著地提高其酶活性,复合处理极显著地降低其酶活性(P<0.01);3种处理均显著提高了土壤多酚氧化酶活性(P<0.05);复合处理对土壤过氧化物酶活性无显著影响,短时间酸雨和凋落物处理均对其具有抑制作用,长时间处理具有促进作用(P<0.05);凋落物处理对土壤过氧化氢酶活性表现为抑制作用,复合处理对其具有极显著促进作用(P<0.01)。在水解酶中,短时间3种处理和长时间复合处理均对土壤脲酶活性具有极显著促进作用(P<0.01);酸雨、长时间凋落物和复合处理对土壤酸性磷酸酶活性具有显著地抑制作用(P<0.05);酸雨和凋落物处理以及长时间复合处理均使土壤蛋白酶活性降低(P<0.05);长时间酸雨处理对土壤蔗糖酶活性具有显著抑制作用,复合处理和短时间凋落物处理具有促进作用(P<0.05)。酸雨和凋落物复合处理柳杉幼苗根际土壤,显著改变了两者对土壤酶活性的影响,说明酸雨和林地凋落物长时间并存,能够缓解两者对除土壤蛋白酶外其他土壤酶活性的不利影响,有助于改善土壤条件。     

An assessment of reproductive and lifetime performances of Kagoshima Berkshire gilts and sows

We investigated the reproductive and lifetime performances of Kagoshima Berkshire gilts and sows. We examined 20 605 parity records of 4419 pigs for 2008 to 2012 on a farrow‐to‐finish commercial farm. The mean parity (± SD) of all animals was 3.0 ± 2.1. For farrowing performance, the highest numbers of total pigs born and pigs born alive were found in sows with parities 5 and 6 and with parity 3–6, respectively (P < 0.05). Regarding weaning and mating performance, sows with parity 2 had the lowest preweaning mortality (P < 0.05). The longest weaning‐to‐first‐mating interval was found in parity 1 pigs, and the interval decreased as parity increased (P < 0.05). Parities 0 and 1 pigs had the lowest farrowing rate and those with parity 4 had the highest farrowing rate (P < 0.05). The mean parity at culling, total number of pigs born alive in a lifetime, and nonproductive days in a lifetime were 5.5 ± 2.93, 49.2 ± 24.72 pigs, and 132.1 ± 83.34 days, respectively. These animals had a lower litter size and fertility that the F₁ crossbred sows mainly used in Japan, but a similar tendency for performance by parity.     

黄土高原地区林地枯枝落叶层水土保持效应研究进展

枯枝落叶层是林地垂直结构中参与水文循环过程的重要作用层,在涵养水源和保持水土中发挥着重要作用。黄土高原经过20年植被快速恢复,枯落物覆盖使近地表植被特征和生态过程变化明显,这必将影响地表土壤水分入渗、产汇流等水文和土壤侵蚀过程。为全面掌握黄土高原地区林地枯枝落叶层的水土保持效应研究动态,系统回顾了林地枯枝落叶层在凋落动态、蓄积量变化、截留降雨、阻延地表径流、提高土壤抗蚀抗冲能力和增加土壤入渗等方面的研究历史。分析了目前林地枯枝落叶层研究中存在的若干问题,提出未来黄土高原地区应加强野外坡面枯落物原位长期监测和降雨试验研究,开展多地貌、多尺度研究,关注天然林和人工林枯枝落叶层水土保持功能的对比研究,以及水文物理过程模型建立和参数确定,并重视林地枯枝落叶层的保护和监管。

为探究森林公园植被的水源涵养能力,为森林公园植被配置和经营管理提供依据,研究选取天龙山森林公园6种林分(油松、山杨、刺槐、油松—侧柏混交林、侧柏—油松—杏树混交和灌木林)为研究对象,通过测定林下枯落物厚度、蓄积量、持水性能和干扰度等指标,研究不同林分类型枯落物水文效应。结果表明:(1)所有林分枯落物干扰度范围为无到中度,厚度范围为0.57~2.63 cm,山杨最厚,侧柏—油松—杏混交林最薄;蓄积量范围为7.20~16.30 t/hm²,油松—侧柏混交林最大,侧柏—油松—杏混交林最小。(2)6种林分除山杨林以外,半分解层最大持水量均大于未分解层持水量,其中油松—侧柏最大,山杨最小;未分解层最大持水率均大于半分解层,刺槐最大,灌木林最小。枯落物的总最大持水量为20.02~27.90 t/hm²,总最大持水率为187.40%~277.89%,针阔混交林的持水率较高。(3)山杨有效拦蓄量最大,为15.05 t/hm²,而油松最小,为12.33 t/hm²;侧柏—油松—杏混交林的拦蓄率最大;(4)枯落物持水量、持水率与时间分别为对数和幂函数关系,均在泡水2 h达到极值。综合对比6种林分,轻度干扰的山杨水文效益最优,中度干扰的油松纯林、油松—侧柏混交林最差;阔叶树种水文效应较优于针叶树种,针阔混交优于纯林。研究结果可为森林公园植被管理和水土保持效益评价提供参考依据。     

亚热带山地森林源头溪流米槠凋落叶分解的水溶性碳氮磷动态

以亚热带常绿阔叶林建群种米槠(Castanopsis carlesii)凋落叶为研究对象,对照地表环境,研究了溪流和间歇性溪流凋落叶分解过程中水溶性有机碳、氮、磷含量变化及其累积损失特征。结果表明:(1)3种生境中凋落叶水溶性有机碳的含量在分解过程中均表现出逐渐降低的趋势,但在溪流中降低程度最大,损失率达92.18%;水溶性氮含量在溪流和间歇性溪流释放时间提前,其变化程度相对较小;相比于地表和间歇性溪流,溪流中的凋落叶水溶性磷含量在分解过程中持续降低,损失率达86.75%。(2)相对于地表,溪流和间歇性溪流显著促进了凋落叶中的水溶性有机碳、氮、磷的释放速率,表明源头溪流持续流动的水体促进凋落叶水溶性组分的释放。(3)尽管3种生境中凋落叶水溶性有机碳、氮、磷元素的损失率共同受到温度、降水、环境中营养元素含量的影响,但源头溪流持续流动的水流和间歇性溪流频繁的干湿交替促进凋落叶水溶性组分的释放。研究结果为揭示亚热带山地森林凋落叶分解过程中水溶性碳氮磷在不同生境中的释放动态提供基础数据。

Influence of leaf litter types on microbial functions and nutrient status of soil: Ecological suitability of forest trees for afforestation in tropical laterite wastelands

The impact of forest tree leaf litters on microbial activity and nutrient status of red laterite soil was tested for the ecological suitability of Cassia siamea, Shorea robusta, Acacia auriculiformes and Dalbergia sissoo, which are typically used for afforestation of wastelands in eastern India. The objectives were to compare seasonal variation in soil enzyme activity in 30-years old afforested sites, and to study nutrient status and microbial biomass and function during short-term in-situ incubation of litter in decomposition pits. In afforested soils, enzyme activities significantly varied between litters and seasons. All enzyme activity except invertase dominated in the soils containing Dalbergia and Cassia litters compared to the others. The seasonal effect was enzyme-dependent, with amylase and cellulase reaching peaks during the rainy season but invertase activity showed a reverse trend with lowest values in rainy season, except in Acacia soil, and protease activity was lowest in the soil containing Cassia and Dalbergia during the rainy season. Dehydrogenase activity was negligible in the soils containing Shorea and Acacia, but remained high with respect to Dalbergia and Cassia during all seasons. The decomposition pit study showed significant increase of soil nutrients with respect to litter types and intervals, except with respect to electrical conductivity. Cassia and Dalbergia litters enabled notable increase of soil nutrients than Shorea and Acacia. The soil enzyme activity, in general, increased with duration of litter decay, but microbial biomass C (MBC) decreased over time except in Shorea. Therefore, the enzyme rates normalized to the MBC indicated inverse relations for all enzymes, except in the soil containing Shorea. A positive relationship existed between MBC and soil respiration in Cassia, Acacia and Dalbergia. Analysis of variance revealed main effects of litter types for increasing protease, MBC and CO₂ output, and a main effect of intervals for enhancing enzymes other than cellulase. Rates of soil respiration were greater in soils contain Cassia and Dalbergia, and showed significant differences between litters and between intervals. All enzymes were significantly correlated with electrical conductivity, organic carbon and available phosphorus contents, and all enzymes except invertase were correlated with nitrate concentrations. The acidic soil pH did not affect enzyme activities, and soil nutrients exerted only weak effect on MBC and respiration. Our study showed that leaf litters of Cassia and Dalbergia trees improved the nutrient status and microbial activity in soil more so than Shorea and Acacia litters, and therefore, afforestation using Cassia and Dalbergia trees may be particularly suitable for soil restoration in tropical laterite wastelands.
