ABSTRACT

Salt-affected soils expand around the world and become a critical handicap for high crop yield. Saline-sodic soil contributed a major portion in salt-affected soils. Such types of soils have a sizable amount of Na+ in nutrient medium and that reduce the K+ uptake in plants. A hydroponic experiment was performed to investigate the ameliorative effect of different doses of potassium fertilizer (K1 = 0.3, K2 = 0.6 and K3 = 1.2 mM L?1) on rice (Oryza sativa L.) under different ECw (6 dS m?1) and SARw [12 and 24 (mmol L?1)1/2] levels. Application of K+ at elevated levels under saline-sodic conditions improved the concentration of anti-oxidant enzymes, plant physiological, and biochemical attributes by improving the K+: Na+ ratio in plant tissues. Total phenolic content, total soluble protein, and soluble sugar content of rice plant were increased with an increase in potassium dose and saline-sodicity. Maximum K+: Na+ ratios, 4.13 and 2.0 were observed in shoot and root, respectively upon application of K+ at 1.2 mM L?1 in a solution having ECw: SARw level of 6: 12. This study suggested that application of potassium at elevated levels (1.2 mM L?1) has enhanced the rice growth by reducing the harmful effect of Na+ salts on plant physiology, biochemical attributes, and anti-oxidant enzymes under specific saline-sodic conditions.  相似文献

Reclamation of sodic soils is proving increasingly vital as greater land area becomes salt-affected in the northern Great Plains of the United States. Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) can be an agriculturally important resource for increasing land productivity through the amelioration of sodic soils. Biochar is also considered as an aid in reclaiming degraded soils. In this incubation study, two rates of FGDG (33.6 Mg ha?1 and 66.2 Mg ha?1), two rates of biochar made from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) pulp (16.8 Mg ha?1), and one rate of FGDG combined with one rate of biochar (33.6 Mg ha?1 ea.) were applied to a sodic soil. Soil physicochemical properties, including cationic exchange, pH, electrical conductivity (ECe), sodium adsorption ratio (SARe), total organic carbon (TOC), water retention, and soil respiration rate, were assessed during and at the end of the incubation period. Addition of FGDG to sodic soil increased ECe from 3.5 to 8.4 dS m?1 and decreased SARe from 16 to 9. Biochar addition to sodic soil increased TOC from 62.2 to 99.5 μg g?1 and increased soil respiration rate (mg C kg?1 soil day?1) on every measurement period. When FGDG and biochar were both added to the sodic soil, TOC did not significantly improve; however, ECe increased from 3.5 to 7.7 dS m?1, SARe decreased from 16 to 9, and soil respiration rate increased for all measurements. The results confirm there is potential for FGDG and biochar to reclaim sodic soils alone, and applied in combination.  相似文献

Salt-affected soils are widespread, particularly in arid climates, but information on nutrient dynamics and carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from salt-affected soils is scarce. Four laboratory incubation experiments were conducted with three soils. To determine the influence of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on respiration in saline and non-saline soils, a loamy sand (6.3% clay) was left unamended or amended with NaCl to obtain an electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.0 dS?m?1 in a 1:5 soil/water extract. Powdered CaCO3 at rates of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% (w/w) and 0.25-2 mm mature wheat residue at 0% and 2% (w/w) were then added. Cumulative CO2-C emission from the salt amended and unamended soils was not affected by CaCO3 addition. To investigate the effect of EC on microbial activity, soil respiration was measured after amending a sandy loam (18.8% clay) and a silt loam (22.5% clay) with varying amount of NaCl to obtain an EC1:5 of 1.0–8.0 dS?m?1 and 2.5 g glucose C?kg?1 soil. Soil respiration was reduced by more than 50% at EC1:5?≥?5.0 dS?m?1. In a further experiment, salinity up to an EC1:5 of 5.0 dS?m?1 was developed in the silt loam with NaCl or CaCl2. No differences in respiration at a given EC were obtained between the two salts, indicating that Na and Ca did not differ in toxicity to microbial activity. The effect of different addition rates (0.25–2.0%) of mature wheat residue on the response of respiration to salinity was investigated by adding NaCl to the silt loam to obtain an EC1:5 of 2.0 and 4.0 dS?m?1. The clearest difference between salinity levels was with 2% residue rate. At a given salinity level, the modelled decomposition constant ‘k’ increased with increasing residue addition rate up to 1% and then remained constant. Particulate organic carbon left after decomposition from the added wheat residues was negatively correlated with cumulative respiration but positively correlated with EC. Inorganic N (NH 4 + -N and NO 3 ? -N) and resin P significantly decreased with increasing salinity. Resin P was significantly decreased by addition of CaCl2 and CaCO3.  相似文献

For understanding the effects of soil salinity and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on the emergence rate, yield, and nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) of sunflowers, complete block design studies were conducted in Hetao Irrigation District, China. Four levels of soil salinity (electrical conductivity [ECe] = 2.44–29.23 dS m?1) and three levels of N fertilization (90–180 kg ha?1) were applied to thirty-six microplots. Soil salinity significantly affected sunflower growth (P < 0.05). High salinity (ECe = 9.03–18.06 dS m?1) reduced emergence rate by 24.5 percent, seed yield by 31.0 percent, hundred-kernel weight by 15.2 percent, and biological yield by 27.4 percent, but it increased the harvest index by 0.9 percent relative to low salinity (ECe = 2.44–4.44 dS m?1). Application of N fertilizer alleviated some of the adverse effects of salinity, especially in highly saline soils. We suggest that moderate (135 kg ha?1) and high (180 kg ha?1) levels of N fertilization could provide the maximum benefit in low- to moderate-salinity and high- or severe-salinity fields, respectively, in Hetao Irrigation District and similar sunflower-growing areas.  相似文献

The effects of zeolite application (0, 4, 8 and16 g kg?1) and saline water (0.5, 1.5, 3.0 and 5.0 dS m?1) on saturated hydraulic conductivity (K s) and sorptivity (S) in different soils were evaluated under laboratory conditions. Results showed that K s was increased at salinity levels of 0.5‐1.5 dS m?1 in clay loam and loam with 8 and 4 g zeolite kg?1 soil, respectively, and at salinity levels of 3.0–5.0 dS m?1 with 16 g zeolite kg?1 soil. K s was decreased by using low and high salinity levels in sandy loam with application of 8 and 16 g zeolite kg?1, respectively. In clay loam, salinity levels of 0.5–3.0 dS m?1 with application of 16 g kg?1 zeolite and 5.0 dS m?1 with application of 8 g zeolite kg?1 soil resulted in the lowest values of S. In loam, all salinity levels with application of 16 g zeolite kg?1 soil increased S compared with other zeolite application rates. In sandy loam, only a salinity level of 0.5 dS m?1 with application of 4 g zeolite kg?1 soil increased S. Other zeolite applications decreased S, whereas increasing the zeolite application to 16 g kg?1 soil resulted in the lowest value of S.  相似文献

The boron (B) sufficiency range for plant growth is narrow and its management is problematic under brackish irrigation water. This study was conducted to evaluate the B requirement of mungbean at different sodium adsorption ratios of irrigation waters (SARiw) [control, 8 and 16 (mmolc L?1)1/2]. The boron adsorption characteristics of a loamy soil were first determined in the laboratory by equilibrating 2.5 g soil with 0.01 M CaCl2 solution containing different B levels. Boron rates for a pot study were computed against different soil solution levels by fitting sorption data in a modified Freundlich model [x/m = K f (EBC)1/n ]. The maximum increase in shoot dry matter was 11.9% when B was applied at 1.29 mg kg?1 soil at control SARiw. Visual leaf B toxicity symptoms appeared at higher B rates and became severe at higher SARiw. By contrast to Ca, shoot concentrations of B and Na increased significantly with B application and SARiw. For optimum shoot growth, internal and external B requirements were 25 mg B kg?1 shoot dry matter and 0.39 mg B L?1 soil solution, respectively, at control SARiw. At higher SARiw, a lower concentration of B in plant shoots and soil solution had an inhibitory effect on plant growth.  相似文献

Vegetative bioremediation of saline calcareous soil (EC1:1 11.01 dS m?1) was practised through growing fodder beet (Beta Beta vulgaris var. magnum) and millet (Panicum spp.) in soil columns. Beet was grown at a planting density of 4427 plants m?2, whereas millet was grown at two planting densities: 5202 (M1) and 8928 (M2) plants m?2. Some plants were irrigated with 233 μ S cm?1 water throughout the experiment (70 days), while for others non-saline water was replaced with saline water (2.52 dS m?1) at the middle of the experiment. The control was leaching of uncropped soil. Beet had higher ash content and efficiently extracted higher amount of salts (particularly Na and Cl) along with their aboveground biomass than millet under the two irrigation regimes. Millet grown at high planting density had higher ash content and extracted higher amount of salts (particularly Cl) than those at low planting density. Bioremediation, particularly in the case of millet (M1), considerably enhanced soil hydraulic conductivity as compared with leaching treatment; thus, facilitating the removal of some soluble salts beyond the root zone. Accordingly, soil electrical conductivity was considerably decreased by 54–69% compared with the untreated soil. It is concluded that mainly fodder beet is a potential candidate for efficient bioremediation of saline calcareous soils.

Several studies have raised serious doubts about the suitability of small cores for measuring water‐movement attributes, due to their potential to provide unrealistic representation of macropore connectivity and abundance. This study explored the potential of lysimeter‐scale experiments to calculate the hydraulic conductivity, K(ψm), of undisturbed soil layers in a matric potential (ψm) range between 0 and −4 kPa. Four large lysimeters were collected from a Dystric Cambisol. For each lysimeter a tension infiltrometer supplied infiltrating water under suctions of 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 kPa. Soil water dynamics were measured in situ using arrays of tensiometers, at depths corresponding with layer boundaries. The results show clearly that infiltration and drainage rates are intimately linked to temporal ψm dynamics, which themselves are determined by preferential flow and soil‐layer interactions. A quasi‐steady state was identified as when infiltration matched drainage, and ψm measurements showed each layer had a stable hydraulic gradient, which then allowed in situ determination of the K(ψm) relationship of individual soil layers. For this soil K(ψm) is distinctly different for each soil layer, and these differences are consistent among the four lysimeters. A consistent feature is that all layers have a distinct change in the slope of the K(ψm) relationship, in the ψm range of −0.5 to −1.5 kPa, highlighting a dual‐porosity character. The whole‐column infiltration behaviour was strongly linked to the K(ψm) relationship of the surface layer (0–2 cm depth), and therefore hydraulic characterization of this layer should be a critical component of a soil survey.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the salt tolerance of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) under greenhouse conditions and to examine the interactive effects of salinity and nitrogen (N) fertilizer levels on yield. The present study shows the effects of optimal and suboptimal N fertilizer levels (270 kg ha?1 and 135 kg ha?1) in combination with five different irrigation waters of varying electrical conductivity (EC) (ECiw = 0.25, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 dS m?1) and three replicates per treatment. At optimal N level, yield decreased when the irrigation water salinity was above ECiw 2 dS m?1. At the suboptimal N level, a significant decrease in yield occurred only above ECiw 4 dS m?1. At high salinity levels the salinity stress was dominant with respect to yield and response was similar for both N levels. Based on the results it can also be concluded that under saline conditions (higher than threshold salinity for a given crop) there is a lesser need for N fertilization relative to the optimal levels established in the absence of other significant stresses.  相似文献

Direct measurement of unsaturated hydraulic parameters that are crucial inputs in any modeling of water flow or solute transport through the vadose zone is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, indirect methods like artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to estimate these parameters. Different ANNs conditions [two training algorithms (Trainlm and Traingd), two transfer functions (Tansig and Logsig), and different combinations of the input variables sand, silt, clay, bulk density (BD), soil organic matter (SOM) and initial (?i) and saturated (?s) volumetric water content] were used to predict the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, K ψ [at six applied tensions (ψ) of 0–0.2 m] and sorptive number, α (at five ψ values of 0.03–0.2 m) that correspond to 138 soil samples from two neighboring study areas located in the Agricultural College, Shiraz University, Islamic Republic of Iran. A four-layer ANNs with three and four nodes in the hidden layers, performed the best in predicting K ψ and α. Traingd produced the best predictions over all input variables when Tansig and Logsig transfer functions were used for K ψ and α at different values of ψ, respectively. ‘Silt + clay + sand + BD + SOM’ was the most basic influential input variable for predictions of K ψ and α at almost all values of ψ. The accuracy of ANNs-predicted K ψ decreased with decreasing ψ from 0.2 to 0.1 m, followed by an increase to a ψ value of 0 m; a specific relationship was not observed for α. Therefore, ANNs can be used to predict K ψ with greater confidence at moderate values of ψ than at lower or higher values. The normalized root mean square error, NRMSE, confirmed that ANNs predictions for K ψ were more accurate than predictions for α. Because reliable predictions were obtained for K ψ, and to a lesser extent for α, it is recommended that such intelligence models are used to predict these vital soil hydraulic attributes.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

We estimate the electrical conductivity of saturated soil paste extract (ECe) from electrical conductivity of a 1:5 soil-water dilution ratio (EC1:5) in Northeastern Thailand. Soil samples of various textures and salinity collected from Sakhon Nakhon basin were used to develop multiple regression models, from which the linear model was chosen and was validated on soil samples from the Khorat basin. Comparison with previous models indicated that most linear models gave a good fit, but the non-linear models either over or underestimated the measured values. The models performed very well for low values of ECe (<5 dS m?1), while the prediction errors increased significantly for ECe levels >35 dS m?1. The present model performed well at various ECe levels and can be used to predict salinity levels for soils weathered from salt deposits in sedimentary rocks with similar rock formation in countries like Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.  相似文献

Due to the existence of gravelly soils and the lack of sufficient research on such soils, this study was carried out on a gravelly calcareous soil. Selected physico–chemical and hydraulic soil attributes were determined at 69 points on a nested-sampling design. Hydraulic characteristics including unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (K ψ) and sorptivity coefficient (S) at six applied tensions of 0 to 0.2 m, and sorptive number (α) and macroscopic capillary length (λ) at five applied tensions of 0.03 to 0.2 m were determined using a tension disc infiltrometer. Hydraulic and chemical soil attributes were the highest and the lowest variants, respectively. The maximum and minimum values for the coefficient of variation (CV) in all the measured physico-chemical and hydraulic soil attributes were obtained for α0.2 and soil pH, respectively. Minimum, maximum, mean and variance values of K ψ, S and α decreased as applied tension increased. Although the pattern was reversed for λ. The majority of soil attributes showed the spatial structure with dominant spherical and exponential models for physico-chemical and hydraulic attributes, respectively. Range values of semi-variograms were obtained between 4.6 m (for α0.03) and 211 m (for clay, gravel content and soluble Mg). In general, range values were 99.60, 82.05 and 40.2 m for physical, chemical and hydraulic soil attributes, respectively, indicating that the physical soil attributes influenced neighboring values over greater distances than the other soil attributes. This enables soil scientists to use measured soil physical data over greater distances to estimate attributes in the unsampled locations.  相似文献

Determining potassium (K) fertilizer requirement using sorption isotherms is considered more accurate than conventional soil K tests. A total of 59 surface soil samples were used to establish K exchange isotherm. To evaluate K requirement sorption test, a glasshouse experiment using perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne, cv. Roper) was carried out on 10 soil samples. The experiment was laid out as a completely randomized design with four replications and four K levels (K0, K20, K40, K80). Concentrations of K in solution established by adding K in the pots estimated from the sorption curve ranged from 20 to 80 mg K l?1 including check treatment (no K). Dry matter yield of ryegrass in most soils approached maximum as adjusted K levels were increased to 20 mg K l?1. The amounts of K required to bring the soils to 20 mg l?1 in soil solution varied among soils and ranged from 99 to 399 mg kg?1, on average 205 mg kg?1 soil. It was found that a useful regression model for the prediction of standard K requirement (K20) included the combination of plant available K extracted by NH4OAc (Av-K) and clay content: K20 = ?41 ? 0.63 Av-K + 9.0 Clay (R2 = 0.61, p < 0.001, n = 59).  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that carbon (C) mineralization in saline or sodic soils is affected by various factors including organic C content, salt concentration and water content in saline soils and soil structure in sodic soils, but there is little information about which soil properties control carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from saline-sodic soils. In this study, eight field-collected saline–sodic soils, varying in electrical conductivity (ECe, a measure of salinity, ranging from 3 to 262 dS m−1) and sodium adsorption ratio (SARe, a measure of sodicity, ranging from 11 to 62), were left unamended or amended with mature wheat or vetch residues (2% w/w). Carbon dioxide release was measured over 42 days at constant temperature and soil water content. Cumulative respiration expressed per gram SOC increased in the following order: unamended soil<soil amended with wheat residues (C/N ratio 122)<soil with vetch residue (C/N ratio 18). Cumulative respiration was significantly (p < 0.05) negatively correlated with ECe but not with SARe. Our results show that the response to ECe and SARe of the microbial community activated by addition of organic C does not differ from that of the less active microbial community in unamended soils and that salinity is the main influential factor for C mineralization in saline–sodic soils.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Salinity is among the most widespread and prevalent problems in irrigated agriculture. Many members of the family Chenopodiaceae are classified as salt tolerant. One member of this family, which is of increasing interest, is quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) which is able to grow on poorer soils. Salinity sensitivity studies of quinoa were conducted in the greenhouse on the cultivar, “Andean Hybrid” to determine if quinoa had useful mechanisms for salt tolerant studies. For salt treatment we used a salinity composition that would occur in a typical soil in the San Joaquin Valley of California using drainage waters for irrigation. Salinity treatments (ECi ) ranging from 3, 7, 11, to 19?dS?m?1 were achieved by adding MgSO4, Na2SO4, NaCl, and CaCl2 to the base nutrient solution. These salts were added incrementally over a four-day period to avoid osmotic shock to the seedlings. The base nutrient solution without added salt served as the non-saline control solution (3?dS?m?1). Solution pH was uncontrolled and ranged from 7.7 to 8.0. For comparative purposes, we also examined Yecora Rojo, a semi-dwarf wheat, Triticum aestivum L. With respect to salinity effects on growth in quinoa, we found no significant reduction in plant height or fresh weight until the electrical conductivity exceeded 11?dS?m?1. The growth was characteristic of a halophyte with a significant increase in leaf area at 11?dS?m?1 as compared with 3?dS?m?1 controls. As to wheat, plant fresh and dry weight, canopy height, and leaf area did not differ between controls (3?dS?m?1) and plants grown at 7?dS?m?1. Beyond this threshold, however, plant growth declined. While both quinoa and wheat exhibited increasing Na+ accumulation with increasing salinity levels, the percentage increase was greater in wheat. Examination of ion ratios indicated that K+:Na+ ratio decreased with increasing salinity in both species. The decrease was more dramatic in wheat. A similar observation was also made with respect to the Ca2+:Na+ ratios. However, a difference between the two species was found with respect to changes in the level of K+ in the plant. In quinoa, leaf K+ levels measured at 19?dS?m?1 had decreased by only 7% compared with controls. Stem K+ levels were not significantly affected. In wheat, shoot K+ levels had decreased by almost 40% at 19?dS?m?1. Correlated with these findings, we measured no change in the K+:Na+ selectivity with increasing salinity in quinoa leaves and only a small increase in stems. In wheat however, K+:Na+ selectivity at 3?dS?m?1 was much higher than in quinoa and decreased significantly across the four salinity levels tested. A similar situation was also noted with Ca2+:Na+ selectivity. We concluded that the greater salt tolerance found in quinoa relative to wheat may be due to a variety of mechanisms.  相似文献

In the range of volumetric water content, θ, from about 0.12 cm3 cm–3 to saturation the relation between bulk electrical conductivity, Cb, and bulk electrical permittivity, ε, of mineral soils was observed to be linear. The partial derivative ?Cb/?ε appeared independent of the moisture content and directly proportional to soil salinity. We found that the variable Xs = ?Cb/?ε determined from in situ measurements of Cb(θ > 0.2) and ε(θ > 0.2) can be considered as an index of soil salinity, and we call it the ‘salinity index’. Knowing the index and sand content for a given soil we could calculate the electrical conductivity of the soil water, Cw, which is a widely accepted measure of soil salinity. The two variables from which the salinity index can be calculated, i.e. Cb and ε, can be read simultaneously from the same sensor by time-domain reflectometry.

Sodium (Na+) dominated soils reduce saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) by clay dispersion and plugging pores, while gypsum (CaSO4•2H2O) application counters these properties. However, variable retrieval of texturally different saline–sodic soils with gypsum at soil gypsum requirement (SGR) devised to define its quantity best suited to improve Ks, leach Na+ and salts. This study comprised loamy‐sand (LS), sandy loam (SL), and clay loam (CL) soils with electrical conductivity of saturation extract (ECe) of ~8 dS m−1, sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of ~44 (mmol L−1)1/2 and exchangeable sodium of ~41%, receiving no gypsum (G0), gypsum at 25% (G25), 50% (G50) and 75% (G75) of SGR. Soils packed in lysimeters were leached with low‐carbonate water [EC at 0·39 dS m−1, SAR at 0·56 (mmol L−1)1/2 and residual sodium carbonate at 0·15 mmolc L−1]. It proved that a rise in gypsum rate amplified Ks of LS ≫ SL > CL. However, Ks of LS soil at G25 and others at G75 remained efficient for salts and Na+ removal. Retention of calcium with magnesium (Ca2+ + Mg2+) by LS and SL soils increased by G50 and decreased in G75, while in CL, it also increased with G75. The enhanced Na+ leaching efficiency in LS soil with G25 was envisaged by water stay for sufficient time to dissolve gypsum and exchange and leach out Na+. Overall, the superiority of gypsum for LS at G25, SL at G50 and CL at G75 predicted cost‐effective soil reclamation with a decrease in ECe and SAR below 0·97 dS m−1 and 5·92 (mmol L−1)1/2, respectively.

In this study, the effect of land-use treatments and the feasibility of fractal dimension to quantify soil aggregate stability were investigated in the central Zagrous, Iran. For this purpose, the non-linear fractal dimension (Dnl), linear fractal dimension (Dl) and the mean weight diameter (MWD) of aggregates were compared. Soil samples from three sites with four adjacent land-use types, namely: forest area (F), cultivated lands adjacent to forest (CAF), pasture (P) and cultivated lands adjacent to pasture (CAP) were collected. Results showed that soils under cultivated lands had higher bulk density (BD) (1.30–1.38 Mg m?3) compared to the adjacent soils under forest (1.19 Mg m?3) and pasture (1.21 Mg m?3). In the 0–15 cm layer, soil organic matter (SOM) content in the cultivated plots were respectively 30% and 31% lower compared to the forest and pasture soils. The lowest CVs belonged to Dnl (5–8%) demonstrating that Dnl was more accurate than Dl (8–14%) and MWD (30–53%) methods. CAP had the largest value of Dnl, while P had the smallest value of Dnl. Difference of Dnl between forest and pasture was not significant, whereas both of them significantly differed from CAF and CAP. Dl did not differ significantly between forest and CAF. There were significant differences between forest and pasture for the measured MWD. Both fractal dimensions had negative correlation with MWD, SOM, hydraulic conductivity (HC) and macroaggregates (>0.25 mm) and positive correlation with BD and total porosity (TP).  相似文献

Reforestation of saline sodic soil is increasingly undertaken as a means of reclaiming otherwise unproductive agricultural land. Currently, restoration of degraded land is limited to species with high tolerances of salinity. Biochar application has the potential to improve physical, biological and chemical properties of these soils to allow establishment of a wider range of plants. In a glasshouse trial, we applied biochar made from Acacia pycnantha (5 Mg ha−1) or no biochar to either a low (ECe 4·75 dS m−1, ESP 6·9), a moderate (ECe 27·6 dS m−1, ESP 29·3) or a high (ECe 49·4 dS m−1, ESP 45·1) saline sodic soil. The regional common reforestation species Eucalyptus viminalis and Acacia mearnsii were planted as tubestock in to the soils. Early establishment indicators, including growth, plant condition and nutrition, were assessed at the end of a simulated growing season, 108 days after biochar application. Application of biochar increased height, and decreased root : shoot and the concentration of Mn, N and S in plants of E. viminalis when grown in the highly saline sodic soil. Biochar application increased the concentration of B in leaves of E. viminalis and increased the concentration of P, K and S in leaves of A. mearnsii when grown in the low saline sodic soil. The results confirm that there is potential for biochar to assist in reforestation of saline sodic soils. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

This trial was carried out to study the influence of the nutrient solution on the microelements concentration and distribution in C. fruticosa var. ‘Red Edge' plants. Four treatments were tested: T1 [control, 1.5 dS m?1, 14.3 mmol L?1 sodium chloride (NaCl)], T2 (2.5 dS m?1, 22.2 mmol L?1 NaCl), T3 (3.5 dS m?1, 32.7 mmol L?1 NaCl) and T4 (4.5 dS m?1, 38.2 mmol L?1 NaCl). In roots and stems, iron (Fe) concentrations were lower in the no saline treatment. Stems accumulated more Fe with treatments T3 and T4. Copper concentration and extraction were not affected by salinity. The highest manganese (Mn) concentration in roots was observed in T2, while in petioles was higher in T3 and T4. Manganese extraction reached higher levels in the saline treatments in roots and stems, while in petioles it was lower in T1, T2 and T3. In roots, zinc (Zn) concentration was lower with the extreme treatments. Micronutrients concentration in leaves was unaffected by salinity, because an exclusion mechanism that consists on accumulation in roots and stems was developed.  相似文献
