为了解析氮沉降对草甸草原中小型土壤节肢动物群落结构的影响,于2010年在内蒙古呼伦贝尔市鄂温克旗贝加尔草甸草原设计了模拟氮沉降试验,研究了在8个氮沉降梯度N0(对照)、N15、N30、N50、N100、N150、N200和N300下土壤动物群落结构和多样性的变化以及与环境因子之间的关系。土壤动物于2019年牧草返青期(5月)、生长期(8月)和枯黄期(9月末)分别采集。结果表明,中小型土壤节肢动物具有明显的表聚特征,但随着施氮量的增加土壤动物群落有向深层土壤迁移的趋势。试验区植被生长期良好的水热条件更适合中小型土壤节肢动物群落发展。N200和N300处理下的土壤动物个体数、类群数及多样性指数均显著高于对照与氮沉降较低处理(P0.05)。依据土壤动物优势类群和常见类群分布情况,采用主成分分析(PCA)将氮梯度划分为3组,N0～N150处理一组,N200和N300各为一组,研究表明N200分布类群最多。冗余分析(RDA)表明,速效钾、全氮、NO–3–N、p H、有机质和含水量是影响土壤动物群落分布的主要环境因子。总体而言,氮沉降对土壤动物群落发展有促进作用,但是存在阈值,本研究中氮沉降对土壤动物群落水平影响的阈值为N 200 kg/(hm2·a)。 相似文献

大型土壤动物群落对高寒草甸退化的响应 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
为了查明大型土壤动物群落对高寒草甸退化的响应,2009至2010年间对青藏东缘若尔盖湿地的沼泽草甸、草原草甸、退化草甸和沙化草甸4个退化阶段的大型土壤动物群落进行了7次调查.结果表明:高寒草甸的不同退化阶段大型土壤动物群落的类群组成和优势类群存在差异,且退化和沙化对大型土壤动物群落的丰富度、密度、Shannon多样性和群落结构均有显著影响(p＜0.01或p＜0.05).其中退化可使带马陆目(Polydesmida)和鞘翅目幼虫(Coleoptera)等多个类群的密度显著增加(p＜0.05),而沙化则使优势类群密度显著降低(P＜0.05)、常见类群和稀有类群消失.植物种类、生物量和土壤理化性质,尤其是有效磷和速效钾含量与大型土壤动物的丰富度、密度和多样性间存在显著相关关系(p＜0.01或p＜0.05).季节变化对大型土壤动物的群落密度和多样性有显著影响(p ＜0.01或P＜0.05),但不同退化阶段的大型土壤动物对季节变化的响应存在差异.研究结果表明高寒草甸的中度退化能够增加大型土壤动物群落多样性,而严重退化(即沙化)则显著降低土壤动物群落多样性,且不同退化阶段大型土壤动物群落的季节动态不同. 相似文献

土壤动物是土壤中重要的生物群落,在分解凋落物、土壤有机质以及维护生态系统平衡等方面中扮演重要角色。为了研究不同栽培模式下中小型土壤动物多样性特征,探究有利于中小型土壤动物的种植方式,本文研究了有机与常规栽培、大棚与露天、茄果与叶菜等不同栽培模式对中小型土壤动物种群数量、组成和多样性等特征的影响。结果表明：1）利用Tullgren法在18个样地共获得中小型土壤动物3 869只,隶属于2门14目30科（亚目）。辐螨亚目、甲螨亚目以及等节跳科构成了研究区土壤动物的主要部分。2）露天条件下,有机栽培使5~10 cm和10~15 cm土层中小型土壤动物数量显著高于常规栽培;但大棚条件下,有机栽培使0~5 cm和5~10 cm土层中小型土壤动物数量显著低于常规栽培。3）有机栽培下,大棚内0~5 cm和10~15 cm土层中小型土壤动物数量显著低于露天,且棚内10~15 cm层中小型土壤动物丰富度显著高于常规栽培;而常规栽培下,大棚内5~10 cm土层中小型土壤动物数量著高于露天。无论有机和常规栽培,棚内0~5 cm层中小型土壤动物Shannon-Weiner多样性高于露天。4）有机栽培使叶菜作物10~15 cm土层中小型土壤动物数量显著低于常规栽培,且0~5 cm土层中小型土壤动物均匀度指数显著高于常规栽培;常规栽培使叶菜作物0~5 cm和5~10 cm土层中小型土壤动物数量显著高于茄果作物。因此,在设施条件下采用有机栽培和管理,且利用作物轮作可能更有利于土壤动物群落数量和多样性的增加。 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing. 相似文献

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils. 相似文献

Abstract A 3-year study was carried out to investigate quality parameters in 14 tree fruit and berry species grown in southern Norway. The species were blueberry, apple, aronia, sour cherry, sweet cherry, red raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, red currant and elderberry, harvested along with wild bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry. Significant differences between species were identified for all quality parameters. The coefficient of variation between species was lowest for pH (12.5%), dry matter (18.9%) and soluble solids (25.3%), followed by titratable acids (59.3%), total phenolics (83.8%), antioxidant capacity FRAP (85.7%) and antiradical power by the DPPH-assay (97.8%), total monomeric anthocyanins (132%) and ascorbic acid (137%). Average coefficient of variation within species were lower and ranged from 4 (pH) to 62% (ascorbic acid). Only the FRAP values were significantly affected by harvesting year with lower levels in 2004 than in 2005 and 2006. There were significant interactions between species and harvesting year for dry matter, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid and FRAP. The results indicate generic ranges in composition within species independent upon growing location and climate, and the composition of the tree fruits and berries is not likely to deviate from these ranges. It is concluded that desirable composition of tree fruits and berries and their products should primarily be achieved by selection among species rather than searching fors broadened variation within individual species. 相似文献

Potassium (K) fixation and release in soil are important factors in the long-term sustainability of a cropping system. Changes in K concentration and characteristics of K fixation and release in rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)–rice (Oryza sativa L.) rotation were investigated using a rhizobox system. The concentrations of different forms of K in both rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils decreased with plants compared to without plants, regardless of K fertilizer application. Potassium uptake by crops mainly came from the rhizosphere soil. In the treatment without K fertilizer (–K), the main form of K supplied by the soil to the crops was 1.0 mol L?1 nitric acid (HNO3) nonextractable K, followed by nonexchangeable K, and then exchangeable K. In the treatment with K fertilizer (+K), the main K forms supplied by the soil to the crops were exchangeable K and nonexchangeable K. The amount and rate of K fixation after one cycle of the rapeseed–rice rotation was greater in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The amount and rate of K fixation of soil in the +K treatment were significantly less than in the –K treatment. The cumulative amounts of K released with 1.0 mol L?1 ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) and 1.0 mol L?1 HNO3 extraction increased with the increasing numbers of extractions, but the K-releasing power of soil by successive extraction decreased gradually and finally became almost constant. The release of K was less in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The release of K in the +K treatment was similar to that in the –K treatment in rhizosphere soil, but the K release in nonrhizosphere soil was greater with the +K than the –K treatment. Overall, the information obtained in this study will be helpful in formulating more precise K fertilizer recommendations for certain soils. 相似文献

Inoculation of wheat seedlings with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Cd was immobilized in alginate microbeads and, without applying any stress, significantly increased the quantity of several
photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and the auxiliary photoprotective pigments violaxanthin, zeaxanthin, antheroxanthin, lutein, neoxanthin, and β-carotene.
This resulted in greener plants with no apparent visible stress. After monitoring the quantity of photosynthetic pigments
for 4 weeks, we observed that inoculated plants had higher quantities of pigments in shoot and stem. The greatest difference
in the quantity of all pigments between inoculated and noninoculated plants occurred in the first week of growth. Regardless
of treatment, the quantity of pigments in stems was three to four times less than the quantity of these pigments in shoots.
Application of Azospirillum, either as liquid inoculant or as alginate microbeads, did not alter the positive effect of the bacteria on pigment production
or the positive response of the plants towards A. brasilense Cd inoculation. 相似文献

We examined the community composition of microbes that colonized atrazine-containing beads buried in agricultural soils that differed in atrazine treatment history. Bacterial abundance was 5-40-fold greater in atrazine-fortified beads. In beads containing 20 mg atrazine kg−1 buried in soil with a history of atrazine application (conditioned soil), the abundance of Actinobacteria increased approximately 80-fold whereas in control soil, Actinobacteria were enriched only 10-fold and the gamma-Proteobacteria and Planctomycetes increased by 60- and 25-fold, respectively. The gamma-Proteobacteria were enriched by 120- and 230-fold in beads containing 200 mg atrazine kg−1 in conditioned and control soil, respectively. The results demonstrate that BioSep® beads are a suitable matrix for recruiting a diverse subset of the bacterial community involved in atrazine degradation. 相似文献

Arbitrary oligonucleotides were used as primers to amplifygenomic DNA of 48 wild Spanish populations of Agropyroncristatum, Elymus hispanicus,E. caninus,E. repens,Thinopyrum curvifolium, Th.junceum and Th.intermedium. Genetic diversity was analysedusing nineteen primers. The number of amplified products ranged from8 to 18 per primer and a total of 240 markers were scored. Differentlevels of intraspecific genetic diversity were found, the allogamousspecies E. repens andTh. intermedium being themost variable. Jaccard's similarity coefficients for internalmeasure within and between populations were used to produce a clusterdiagram. The results demonstrate differences in the degree ofsimilarity between taxonomic units. Interpopulational variability andinterspecific genomic relationships of these species arediscussed. 相似文献

The effects of three commonly used fungicides on the colonization and sporulation by a mixture of three arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi consisting of Glomus etunicatum (Becker & Gerd.), Glomus mosseae (Nicol. & Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe, and Gigaspora rosea (Nicol. & Schenck) in symbiosis with pea plants and the resulting response of the host-plant were examined. Benomyl, PCNB, and captan were applied as soil drenches at a rate of 20 mg active ingredient kg-1 soil 2 weeks after transplanting pea seedlings in a silty clay-loam soil containing the mixed inocula of AM fungi (AM plants). Effects of fungicides were compared to untreated plants that were inoculated with fungi (AM control). The effect of mycorrhizal inoculation on plant growth was also examined by including nonmycorrhizal, non-fungicide-treated plants (non-AM control). Fungicides or inoculation with AM fungi had only a small effect on the final shoot weights of pea plants, but had greater effects on root length and seed yield. AM control plants had higher seed yields and lower root lengths than the corresponding non-AM plants, and the fungicide-treated AM plants had intermediate yields and root lengths. Seed N and P contents were likewise highest in AM control plants, lowest in non-AM plants, and intermediate in fungicide-treated AM plants. All three fungicides depressed the proportion (%) of root length colonized by AM fungi, but these differences did not translate to reductions in the total root length that was colonized, since roots were longer in the fungicide-treated AM plants. Pea plants apparently compensated for the reduction in AM-fungal metabolism due to fungicides by increasing root growth. Fungicides affected the population of the three fungi as determined by sporulation at the final harvest. Captan significantly reduced the number, relative abundance, and relative volume of G. rosea spores in the final population relative to the controls. The relative volume of G. etunicatum spores was greater in all the fungicide-treated soils, while G. mosseae relative volumes were only greater in the captan-treated soil. These findings show that fungicides can alter the species composition of an AM-fungal community. The results also show that AM fungi can increase seed yield without enhancing the vegetative shoot growth of host plants. 相似文献
