宁镇丘陵区村域小流域不同土壤景观下表土质量变化及评价

中国南方丘陵区存在着自然过程和人类活动交互影响的、土地利用—土地覆盖叠加变化的多种土壤景观,其土壤质量对乡村农业产业发展具有重要影响。在南京市远郊的溧水区晶桥镇芝山村域小流域,选取流域内生态保护的林地、农业利用的园地、旱地和稻田4种土壤景观,于秋季分别采集表土样品,测定土壤基础理化性质、土壤团聚体粒径组成及土壤微生物磷脂肪酸和胞外酶活性分布,分析土壤肥力、土壤团聚化、土壤生物活性等关键性质在不同土壤景观中的变异情况,并采用土壤质量评价方法探明土壤景观与表土质量的变化关系。结果表明,与原生林地相比,农业土壤景观中有机质减少50.93%~69.63%,土壤团聚体平均重量直径降低41.34%~68.71%;相应地,土壤微生物总磷脂脂肪酸含量也降低19.20%~42.04%,土壤归一化酶活性降低22.48%~63.27%。因此,与林地景观土壤相比,农业土壤景观的土壤生态系统服务功能已经显著削弱。不过,在农业土壤景观中,稻田的土壤有机质储量和微生物活性相对较高。回归分析表明,土壤有机质含量是影响土壤性质变化的最强因子。基于总数据集和最小数据集的土壤质量评价和基于土壤健康理念的土壤功能质量评价均表明,表土总体土壤质量的变化趋势为林地>稻田>旱地>园地。同时,基于土壤健康理念的评价体系能综合地反映不同土壤景观间土壤的质量变化及其生态系统功能意义。     

Coralligenous assemblages along their geographical distribution: Testing of concepts and implications for management

• 1. The coralligenous habitat was studied at the large Mediterranean scale, by applying a standardized, non‐destructive photo‐sampling protocol, developed in the framework of the CIGESMED project.
• 2. The results provided evidence to support the following statements: (a) the assemblage pattern is not homogeneously distributed across the four Mediterranean ecoregions studied (biotic gradients hypothesis); and (b) the assemblage pattern does not change significantly when the information is aggregated to higher taxonomic levels (taxonomic sufficiency hypothesis).
• 3. Surrogate taxonomic categories higher than species, such as genus and family, can be used to reveal the multivariate pattern of the coralligenous assemblages.
• 4. Although preliminary at the pan‐Mediterranean scale, these outcomes set the scene for future comparisons as more data sets become available but also for comparisons between taxonomic and functional patterns.

Response of phosphorus fractions to land-use change followed by long-term fertilization in a sub-alpine humid soil of Qinghai–Tibet plateau

Purpose

Identification of phosphorus (P) species is essential to understand the transformation and availability of P in soil. However, P species as affected by land use change along with fertilization has received little attention in a sub-alpine humid soil of Tibet plateau.

Materials and methods

In this study, we investigated the changes in P species using Hedley sequential fractionation and liquid-state ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy in soils under meadow (M) and under cropland with (CF) or without (CNF) long-term fertilization for 26 years in a sub-alpine cold-humid region in Qinghai–Tibet plateau.

Results and discussion

Land-use change and long-term fertilization affected the status and fractions of P. A strong mineralization of organic P (OP) was induced by losing protection of soil organic matter (SOM) and Fe and Al oxides during land-use change and resulted in an increase of orthophosphate (from 56.49 mg kg^?1 in M soils to 130.07 mg kg^?1 in CNF soils) and great decreases of orthophosphate diesters (diester-P, from 23.35 mg kg^?1 in M soils to 10.68 mg kg^?1 in CNF soils) and monoesters (from 336.04 mg kg^?1 in M soils to 73.26 mg kg^?1 in CNF soils). Long-term fertilization boosted P supply but failed to reclaim soil diester-P (from 10.68 mg kg^?1 in CNF soils to 7.79 mg kg^?1 in CF soils). This may be due to the fragile protection from the combination of SOM with diester-P when long-term fertilization had only improved SOM in a slight extent.

Conclusions

These results suggest that SOM plays an important role in the soil P cycling and prevents OP mineralization and losses from soil. It is recommended that optimization of soil nutrient management integrated with SOM was required to improve the P use efficiency for the development of sustainable agriculture.
