Purpose  

Biogeochemical interfaces, the 3D association of minerals, soil organic matter, and biota, are hotspots of soil processes because they exhibit strong biological, physical, and chemical gradients. Biogeochemical interfaces have thicknesses from nanometers to micrometers and separate bulk immobile phases from mobile liquid or gaseous phases. The aim of this contribution is to review advanced microscopic and spectroscopic characterization techniques that allow for spatially resolved analysis of composition and properties of biogeochemical interfaces or their visualization.  相似文献

Soil aggregation is a key ecosystem process that strongly affects soil structure. Soil structure is the three dimensional arrangement of primary particles, organic matter, soil aggregates and associated pores. As such, soil aggregation influences the organization of soil biodiversity and soil-borne biogeochemical processes. Saprobic fungi (SF) have promising but largely untapped potential to offer new perspectives and insights into mechanisms of soil aggregation. The study of SF permits identification of traits that may predict soil aggregation component processes: formation, stabilization and disintegration. The measurement of fungal key traits in experiments aimed at soil aggregation effects will generate data necessary for mechanistic understanding. When such efforts are combined with collecting such information across a range of systems in curated databases this can, by channeling efforts, lead to a step change in our understanding and modeling of organism-mediated soil aggregation mechanisms and changes in functional diversity due to global change.  相似文献

  【目的】  土壤紧实胁迫破坏土体理化性质,阻碍作物根系生长,降低作物产量,是限制农业生产力提高的世界性难题。根系形态结构决定了植物对土壤资源的探索能力及其对胁迫环境的适应性。讨论紧实胁迫下植物根系–土壤的相互作用,综述国内外关于根系通过形态和生理改变等根系生物学潜力的发挥提高对紧实胁迫适应性的研究进展。  主要进展  土壤紧实胁迫增加根系穿透阻力,限制根系对土壤水分和养分的获取。植物根系会从形态和解剖结构方面对土壤紧实胁迫做出一系列适应性改变,充分利用土壤中的孔隙拓展生长空间。此外,根系也会对紧实胁迫做出生理响应,通过大量释放分泌物,影响根际土壤微结构,改变根土界面微域环境,降低根系生长的机械阻力。  展望  土壤紧实胁迫作为产量限制因素被长期忽视。通过发挥根系自身的生物学潜力,提高根系在紧实土壤中的适应性,对于最大限度地保证其在紧实胁迫下的正常生长非常关键,作为应对土壤紧实胁迫的有效策略具有重要的现实意义。未来的研究方向与重点包括:揭示紧实胁迫下根系分泌物与微生物的“对话机制”,探明紧实胁迫下根系–土壤–微生物的互作关系和作用机制,为发挥根系生物学潜力,强化关键根系/根际性状,塑造健康土壤结构,提高土壤紧实胁迫下的农业生产力提供科学依据。  相似文献

Knowledge about the elevational patterns of soil microbial biomass and communities can facilitate accurate prediction of the responses of soil biogeochemical processes to climate change. However, previous studies that have considered intra- and inter-annual variations have reported inconsistent results on the one hand, and they have paid little attention to the effect of soil layer on the other hand. We, therefore, conducted a 4-year in situ soil core incubation experiment along a 2431-m elevational gradient across the dry valley shrubland, valley-montane ecotone forest, subalpine coniferous forest, alpine coniferous forest, and alpine meadow in an ecologically fragile alpine-gorge region on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Soil microbial biomass and community composition in the organic and mineral layers were measured using the phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) method at five critical periods each year. Our results indicated that soil microbial biomass in the organic layer was the highest in the subalpine coniferous forest, followed by the alpine meadow, alpine coniferous forest, and valley-montane ecotone forest. In contrast, soil microbial biomass in the mineral layer was significantly higher in the alpine meadow than in the other sites. Soil microbial biomass exhibited differential seasonal fluctuations at different elevations, resulting in their elevational patterns being strongly intra-annual and inter-annual dependent. Our results revealed that elevation and seasonality significantly affected soil microbial communities. Seasonality had a more substantial effect than elevation on soil microbial communities during the first 3 years of incubation, whereas the relative importance of seasonal and elevational effects on microbial communities was reversed in the organic layer with incubation time. These results are mainly attributed to the magnitude and direction of effect of environmental variables on soil microbial biomass and communities vary with elevation, soil layer, and sampling time. Briefly, the elevational patterns and dominant factors of soil microbial biomass and communities have intense soil layer and temporal specificity, implying that differential responses of soil biochemical processes to climate change might be observed at different elevations.  相似文献

Soils are the central organizing entities in terrestrial ecosystems and possess extremely diverse prokaryotic and eukaryotic biota. They are physically and chemically complex, with micro- and macro-aggregates embedded within a solid, liquid and gaseous matrix that is continually changing in response to natural and human-induced perturbations. Recent advances in molecular techniques in systematics have provided opportunities for the study of biodiversity and biocomplexity of soil biota. A symposium and workshop on soil biogeochemistry and biodiversity International Symposium on Impacts of Soil Biodiversity on Biogeochemical Processes in Ecosystems, Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, Taipei, Taiwan April 18-24, 2004. Convened an international array of participants working in biomes on virtually every continent on the planet (ranging from polar to tropical regions). This special issue reports on the theoretical bases and applications of molecular methods for the measurement of soil biodiversity.

Themes addressed include a melding of classical taxonomic investigations with biochemical fingerprinting and molecular probing of organism identities. Several papers highlight new advances in identifications of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Examples include new developments in “fingerprinting” of microbes active in “mycorrhizospheres” using immunocapture and other innovative techniques. Developments in the study of impacts of invasive plant and animal species on ecosystem function and subsequent microbial community composition and function have been very great in the last 2-3 years. Soils are major repositories of legacies, including fine and coarse woody debris and other organic products, which have feedbacks on soil diversity. The ways in which species diversity and function of microbial and faunal communities interact and their importance to ecosystem function are examined in biological and biochemical detail. This paper provides an overview of soil biodiversity and its feedbacks on soil biogeochemical processes in ecosystems.  相似文献

Soil biota play a crucial role in soil ecosystem stability, promoting organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling. Compared to conventional farming,organic farming is known to improve soil properties such as aggregation. Despite the importance of soil microbial communities in soil biogeochemical processes, our knowledge of their dynamics is rudimentary, especially under different agricultural management practices. Here we studied the effects of vineyard management practices(conventional an...  相似文献

Many soil properties and processes vary at different spatial scales. As a result, relationships between soil properties often depend on scale. In this paper we show this for two soil properties of biological importance, by means of a nested analysis of covariance. The variables were urease activity (UA) and soil organic carbon (SOC), sampled on an unbalanced nested design at three sites with different land uses (arable, forest and pasture). The objective of this study was to investigate the scale‐dependent relationships of UA and SOC at these three sites to exemplify the phenomenon of scale‐dependency in the covariation of biogeochemical variables. At each site the variables showed different scale dependencies, expressed in their correlations at different scales. At the pasture site, UA and SOC were uncorrelated at all scales in the sampling design (0.2 m, 1 m, 6 m and ≥15 m), and the overall product moment correlation was 0.10. A significant positive scale dependent correlation (0.65) was found at the 1‐m scale for the forested site. The soil properties were not spatially correlated at any of the other scales and the associated product moment correlation for this site was 0.14. Urease activity and soil organic C were found not to be correlated at the shorter scales in the arable site. However, significant positive correlation coefficients of 0.89 and 0.82 were obtained at the longer scales of 6 and ≥15‐m respectively for the arable site. The product moment correlation at this site was 0.65. At both the arable and forest site, we found that correlations at particular scales were stronger than the overall product moment correlation. This approach allowed us to identify significant relationships between urease activity and soil organic carbon and the scales at which these relationships occur and to draw conclusions about the spatial scales, which must be resolved in further studies of these variables in these contrasting environments. This study highlights the pervasive effect of scale in soil biogeochemistry and shows that scale‐dependence must not be disregarded by soil scientists in their investigations of biogeochemical processes.  相似文献

For the development of sustainable land‐management systems in the highlands of N Thailand, detailed knowledge about soil distribution and soil properties is a prerequisite. Yet to date, there are hardly any detailed soil maps available on a watershed scale. In this study, soil maps on watershed level were evaluated with regard to their suitability for agricultural land‐use planning. In addition to common scientific methods (as underlying the WRB classification), participatory methods were used to exploit local knowledge about soils and to document it in a “Local Soil Map”. Where the WRB classification identified eight soil units, the farmers distinguished only five on the basis of soil color and “hardness”. The “Local Soil Map” shows little resemblance with the detailed, patchy pattern of the WRB‐based soil map. On the contrary, the “Local Soil Map” is fairly similar to the petrographic map suggesting that soil color is directly related to parent material. The farmers' perception about soil fertility and soil suitability for cropping could be confirmed by analytical data. We conclude that integrating local soil knowledge, petrographic information, and knowledge of local cropping practices allows for a rapid compilation of information for land‐evaluation purposes at watershed level. It is the most efficient way to build a base for regional land‐use planning.  相似文献

Sorption of organic chemicals in soil is affected by the properties and availability of surfaces. These surfaces are composed of diverse mineral, organic and biological components, forming a soil's ‘biogeochemical interface’. Phenanthrene was used to probe the hydrophobic sorptive capacity of the interface of an arable soil. Batch sorption experiments were carried out with the bulk soil as well as the fine (0.2–6.3 µm) and coarse (6.3–63 µm) particle size fractions of two arable topsoil samples with different organic matter (OM) contents from a Eutric Cambisol. The specific surface area (SSA) of the bulk soil and particle size fractions was determined by BET‐N2 and EGME sorption. OM composition was characterized by solid‐state 13C NMR spectroscopy. No clear relationship was found between phenanthrene sorption and SSA. We conclude that phenanthrene probes a specific fraction of the soil interface that is not well represented by the traditional methods of SSA detection such as BET‐N2 and EGME sorption. The sorption behaviour of phenanthrene may therefore provide a useful additional tool to characterize the specific affinity of the soil biogeochemical interface for hydrophobic molecules. Sorption capacity for phenanthrene increased after particle‐size fractionation, indicating that the reduced availability of the interface caused by the aggregated structure is important for the sorptive capacity of a soil. This should be considered when projecting data obtained from extensively treated and fractionated samples to the actual interaction with biogeochemical interfaces as they are present in soil.  相似文献

土壤有机C是维持全球C平衡过程中的重要C库,其降解和转化在地球化学循环中占有重要地位。大型土壤动物对土壤有机C的稳定性起着重要的调控作用。14C示踪技术由于在测定目标化合物的转化速率和定位代谢产物和残留物分布上的优势,近年来在土壤有机C稳定性研究中得到了广泛应用。本文综述了3种典型土食性大型土壤动物,白蚁(Isoptera:Termitidae)、甲虫幼虫(Coleoptera:Scarabaeidae)和蚯蚓(Oligochaeta:Lumbricidae),对土壤稳态有机C降解转化的14C示踪研究结果及相关的微生物作用。食土白蚁和甲虫幼虫的极端碱性(pH10~12.5)肠道段和肠道内的特殊蛋白酶的共同作用促使这两种动物可以选择性地降解和矿化腐殖酸中的稳态多肽等组分,进一步提高腐殖酸的腐殖化程度。食土蚯蚓体内含有高活性的纤维素酶,能促进纤维素的降解。虽然木质素在蚓粪中能发生降解,蚯蚓也能降解植物树叶,但是食土蚯蚓能否降解或选择性降解稳态土壤有机C的研究还极少。大型土壤动物肠道内含有大量微生物及酶,这些微生物在土壤动物降解和腐殖化有机C的过程中所起的具体作用如何以及这些酶的来源还不是很清楚。文中总结了目前对大型土壤动物转化土壤有机C认识上的不足,并对一些优先研究方向提出了建议。  相似文献

The soil temperature regime map provides for utilitarian classification that can be superimposed on soil classification to permit more precise interpretations and assessments of land use. The objects of this study are (1) to clarify the relationship between soil temperature and meteo-geographical factors, and then (2) to delineate detailed soil temperature regime map (1?km grid) as Japanese land resources inventory. There was a parallel relationship between mean annual soil temperature (MAST) and mean annual air temperature (MAAT), but this relationship was affected to some extent by the mean annual wind speed and mean annual global irradiation in this study. Furthermore, the difference between MAST and MAAT [Diff(MAST–MAAT)] showed the highest correlation with elevation. The map of RK_Diff(MAST–MAAT) was computed using this meteo-geographical relationship with the regression-kriging approach, and then the map of MAST and the soil temperature regime map were delineated using the map of MAAT and the RK_Diff(MAST–MAAT). The root mean square error of this delineation procedure was 0.47°C. It was clear that the majority of the Japanese soils had “mesic” soil temperature regime, and Japanese agricultural land was mainly distributed at “mesic” area and followed by “thermic”, “frigid”, and “hyperthermic” area. For promoting this land resource inventory, the soil temperature regime map will be uploaded on “Soil Information Web Viewer (http://agrimesh.dc.affrc.go.jp/soil_db/)”, which is provided by the National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences.  相似文献

Historical perspective of soil classification in Japan from Max Fesca's soil classification in 1882 to the “Unified Soil Classification System of Japan (2002)” was outlined, aiming at reviewing the progress in soil classification. The evolution can be divided into the following five aspects: 1) Max Fesca's soil texture survey and soil classification from the agro-geological point of view under the influence of the German school; 2) Introduction of the concept of pedology into the classification under the influence of the Russian school led by Dokchaev; 3) Brief history of the classification of Andosols which has exerted a considerable influence on soil classification worldwide; 4) Soil classifications developed through the implementation of national soil survey projects to independently evaluate land suitability for the cultivation of paddy rice, upland crops, and for forest establishment; 5) Attempts to develop a comprehensive soil classification system in order to unify soil classification systems for the above-mentioned land uses from 1963 to the present.  相似文献

Protecting soil structure against compaction—proposed solutions to safeguard agricultural soils To safeguard the ecological soil functions and the functions linked to human activities, measures against harmful changes to the soil are required, in line with the precautionary principle. The German Federal Soil Protection Act sets obligations for precaution in agricultural land use and, if harmful changes to the soil are foreseeable, measures for averting a danger. The results of a research project of the Federal Environmental Agency show that it is possible to describe an impairment of the soil structure, using methods of soil analysis. But this as a sole information would not qualify for the identification of harmful changes to the soil in the context of the Soil Protection Act, which requires an assessment of the severity of disruption of soil functions and the respective subject of protection. This would make additional soil investigations on site mandatory. Approaches in agricultural engineering and soil physics have introduced procedures to preserve the soil structure, in accordance with the precautionary principle. But these procedures have different goals and different ranges of application and hence offer partial solutions to safeguard against soil compaction. The assessment model of “trafficability by measuring the rut depth” provides information about the compaction status of the soil under applied conditions for farming gear, without providing detailed information about affected soil layers. The soil‐physical model of classifying soils into “risk classes for harmful soil compaction” focuses on the relationship between topsoil compaction and crop yields. The soil‐physical models “precompression stress” and “loading ratio” provide information for the assessment of subsoil compaction and a prognosis of a possible impairment of the soil structure at the water content of field capacity. It is necessary to validate the individual models with additional regional data about soil structure before a final assessment of the prognoses is made.  相似文献

Soil depth reflects the quantity and ecosystem service functions of soil resources. However, there is no universal standard to measure soil depth at present, and digital soil mapping approaches for predicting soil depth at the regional scale remain immature. Using observation of soil profile morphology, we compared the soil depth nomenclatures from the World Reference Base for Soil Resources, Chinese Soil Taxonomy, and Soil Taxonomy. For this study, shallow soils were defined as those with an effective soil depth < 100 cm. Based on legacy data and field soil survey, the spatial distribution of shallow soils in Xinjiang, China, and the main controlling environmental factors were explored. Results showed that shallow soils in Xinjiang are mainly distributed in high altitude regions such as the Tian Mountains. At the regional scale, significant correlations were observed between soil depth and climate factors, as well as between soil depth and vegetation fractional coverage. Contrary to previous conclusions at small spatial scales, terrain attributes could not explain soil depth variation at the regional scale. This study addressed knowledge gaps on soil depth prediction at regional scales while elucidating climate‐vegetation‐soil coevolution.  相似文献

 “优先路径”是指土壤中植物根系穿插而产生的根孔、动物的运动通道和居穴、由于土壤膨胀收缩形成的裂隙,以及因湿润锋不稳定所形成的指状渗透通道等。通过在长江三峡曲溪小流域花岗岩林地坡面开挖土壤剖面,测定了“优先路径”在剖面的分布状况,并采取土壤样品,对土壤的物理特性用筛分法进行了室内测定。结果表明:剖面中距地表以下82~110cm范围内,土壤密度最小,其毛管孔隙度也较小,显示出其土壤中存在有较多非毛管孔隙构成的“优先路径”。“优先路径”在距地表以下80~100cm范围内,分布比较集中。该范围内含有较多粗颗粒物质,有利于“优先路径”的形成。“优先路径”的存在,使该层土壤稳渗速率较其他土层得以大幅度提高,土层内快速运动的水流,又加速了“优先路径”的形成与发展。“优先路径”的存在,影响着土壤物理特性,而土壤物理性质,对“优先路径”的形成与发展,也有较大影响。  相似文献

Grassland extensification is followed by a change of soil organic‐matter (SOM) contents. In order to give a better assessment of these developments on grassland sites in SW Germany, the CENTURY Soil Organic Matter Model was used on five long‐term experimental sites under three different management practices (“Mowing”, “Mulching” (mowing without removal of the phytomass), and “Natural succession”). On these sites, soil‐organic‐carbon (SOC) monitoring was continuously done for soil depths of 0–4 and 4–8 cm from 1975 to 2002. The contents of organic carbon (OC) were at steady state or showed a slight decrease for the mulched and succession plots. Carbon contents of the mowed plots were decreasing. Measured C contents were transferred into stocks and compared with the simulated OC stocks. Linear regressions between observed and simulated C stocks were calculated separately for mulched and succession plots. The regressions for OC yielded significant relationships (R2 = 0.8) for both kinds of plots. However, the model did not reproduce the short‐term dynamics of C stocks. Whereas SOC stocks on mulched and succession plots are expected to stay stable for the next decades according to the simulation, they are expected to decrease for a couple of years before stabilization on mowed plots.  相似文献
