Photosynthetically derived rhizodeposits are an important source of carbon (C) for microbes in root vicinity and can influence the microbial community dynamics. Pulse labeling of carbon dioxide (13CO2) coupled with stable isotope probing techniques have potential to track recently fixed photosynthate into rhizosphere microbial taxa. Therefore, the present investigation assessed the microbial community change associated with the rhizosphere and bulk soil in Jatropha curcas L. (a biofuel crop) by combining phospholipid fatty acid (13C-PLFA) profiling using a stable isotope 13CO2 labeling approach. The labeling (13C) took place after 45 days of germination, PLFAs were extracted from both soils (rhizosphere and bulk) after 1 and 20 days pulse labeling and analyzed by gas chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry. There was no significant temporal effect on the PLFA profiles in the bulk soil, but significantly increased abundance of Gram positive (i15:0) and Gram negative (16:1ω7c and 16:1ω5c) biomarkers was observed in the rhizosphere soil from day 1 to day 20 after labeling. The Gram negative (16:1ω7c) decreased and fungal (18:2ω6,9c) increased significantly in rhizospheric soil compared to bulk soil after day 1 of labeling. Whereas, after 20 days of labeling, the Gram negative biomarker (16:1ω7c and 18:1ω7c) decreased and Gram positive (a15:0) increased significantly in rhizospheric soil compared to bulk soil. One day following labeling, i15:0, a15:0, i16:0, 16:1ω5c, 16:0, i17:0, a17:0, 18:2ω6,9c, 18:1ω9c, and 18:0 PLFAs were significantly more enriched in δ13C in the rhizosphere than in the bulk soil. Twenty days after labeling, 16:1ω5c (Gram negative) and 18:2ω6,9c (fungal) were significantly more enriched in δ13C in the rhizosphere than in the bulk soil. These results shows the effectives of PLFA coupled using the pulse chase labeling technique to examine the microbial community changes in response to recently fixed photosynthetic C flow in rhizodeposits.  相似文献

Purpose

Long-term manure applications can prevent or reverse soil acidification by chemical nitrogen (N) fertilizer. However, the resistance to re-acidification from further chemical fertilization is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of urea application on nitrification and acidification processes in an acid red soil (Ferralic Cambisol) after long-term different field fertilization treatments.

Materials and methods

Soils were collected from six treatments of a 19-year field trial: (1) non-fertilization control, (2) chemical phosphorus and potassium (PK), (3) chemical N only (N), (4) chemical N, P, and K (NPK), (5) pig manure only (M), and (6) NPK plus M (NPKM; 70 % N from M). In a 35-day laboratory incubation experiment, the soils were incubated and examined for changes in pH, NH4 +, and NO3 ?, and their correlations from urea application at 80 mg N kg?1(?80) compared to 0 rate (?0).

Results and discussion

From urea addition, manure-treated soils exhibited the highest acidification and nitrification rates due to high soil pH (5.75–6.38) and the lowest in the chemical N treated soils due to low soil pH (3.83–3.90) with no N-treated soils (pH 4.98–5.12) fell between. By day 35, soil pH decreased to 5.21 and 5.81 (0.54 and 0.57 unit decrease) in the NPKM-80 and M-80 treatments, respectively, and to 4.69 and 4.53 (0.43 and 0.45 unit decrease) in the control-80 and PK-80 treatments, respectively, with no changes in the N-80 and NPK-80 treatments. The soil pH decrease was highly correlated with nitrification potential, and the estimated net proton released. The maximum nitrification rates (K max) of NPKM and M soils (14.7 and 21.6 mg N kg?1 day?1, respectively) were significantly higher than other treatments (2.86–3.48 mg N kg?1 day?1). The priming effect on mineralization of organic N was high in manure treated soils.

Conclusions

Field data have shown clearly that manure amendment can prevent or reverse the acidification of the red soil. When a chemical fertilizer such as urea is applied to the soil again, however, soil acidification will occur at possibly high rates. Thus, the strategy in soil N management is continuous incorporation of manure to prevent acidification to maintain soil productivity. Further studies under field conditions are needed to provide more accurate assessments on acidification rate from chemical N fertilizer applications.  相似文献

We have compared the total microbial biomass and the fungal/bacterial ratio estimated using substrate-induced respiration (SIR) in combination with the selective inhibition technique and using the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) technique in a pH gradient (3.0-7.2) consisting of 53 mature broad-leaved forest soils. A fungal/bacterial biomass index using the PLFA technique was calculated using the PLFA 18:2ω6,9 as an indicator of fungal biomass and the sum of 13 bacterial specific PLFAs as indicator of the bacterial biomass. Good linear correlation (p<0.001) was found between the total microbial biomass estimated with SIR and total PLFAs (totPLFA), indicating that 1 mg biomass-C was equivalent to 130 nmol totPLFA. Both biomass estimates were positively correlated to soil pH. The fungal/bacterial ratio measured using the selective inhibition technique decreased significantly with increasing pH from about 9 at pH 3 to approximately 2 at pH 7, while the fungal/bacterial biomass index using PLFA measurements tended to increase slightly with increasing soil pH. Good correlation between the soil content of ergosterol and of the PLFA 18:2ω6,9 indicated that the lack of congruency between the two methods in estimating fungal/bacterial ratios was not due to PLFA 18:2ω6,9-related non-fungal structures to any significant degree. Several PLFAs were strongly correlated to soil pH (R2 values >0.8); for example the PLFAs 16:1ω5 and 16:1ω7c increased with increasing soil pH, while i16:0 and cy19:0 decreased. A principal component analysis of the total PLFA pattern gave a first component that was strongly correlated to soil pH (R2=0.85, p<0.001) indicating that the microbial community composition in these beech/beech-oak forest soils was to a large extent determined by soil pH.  相似文献

The influence of soil pH on the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) composition of the microbial community was investigated along the Hoosfield acid strip, Rothamsted Research, UK - a uniform pH gradient between pH 8.3 and 4.5. The influence of soil pH on the total concentration of PLFAs was not significant, while biomass estimated using substrate induced respiration decreased by about 25%. However, the PLFA composition clearly changed along the soil pH gradient. About 40% of the variation in PLFA composition along the gradient was explained by a first principal component, and the sample scores were highly correlated to pH (R2 = 0.97). Many PLFAs responded to pH similarly in the Hoosfield arable soil compared with previous assessments in forest soils, including, e.g. monounsaturated PLFAs 16:1ω5, 16:1ω7c and 18:1ω7, which increased in relative concentrations with pH, and i16:0 and cy19:0, both of which decreased with pH. Some PLFAs responded differently to pH between the soil types, e.g. br18:0. We conclude that soil pH has a profound influence on the microbial PLFA composition, which must be considered in all applications of this method to detect changes in the microbial community.  相似文献

Seventeen Mollisols having pH(1:2) in the range of 6.00 to 8.42 were analyzed with five extractants, and the extractable zinc (Zn) ranges were 0.84 to 2.75 mg Zn kg?1 soil for diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) (pH 7.3), 0.91 to 2.72 mg Zn kg?1 soil for DTPA + ammonium bicarbonate (pH 7.6), 1.82 to 7.18 mg Zn kg?1 soil for Mehlich 3, 1.22 to 3.83 mg Zn kg?1 soil for ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) + ammonium carbonate, and 0.88 to 1.18 mg Zn kg?1 soil for 1 mol L?1 magnesium chloride (MgCl2) (pH 6.0). Zinc extracted by DTPA (pH 7.3) and Mehlich 3 showed significant positive correlation with sand content, whereas only Mehlich 3 showed negative correlation with soil pH. All extractants showed significant positive correlation with each other except for 1 mol L?1 MgCl2‐extractable Zn, which had significant positive correlation with only Mehlich 3– and EDTA + ammonium carbonate–extractable Zn. A greenhouse experiment showed that Bray's percentage yield of rice was poorly correlated to extractable soil Zn but had a significant and negative linear correlation with soil pH (r = ?0.662, significant at p = 0.01). Total Zn uptake by rice had a significant positive correlation with 1 mol L?1 MgCl2– and Mehlich 3–extractable Zn. A proposed parameter (p extractable Zn + p OH?) involving both soil extractable Zn and pH terms together showed significant and positive correlation with Bray's percentage yield and total Zn uptake of rice. The calculated values of critical limits of soil Zn in terms of the proposed parameter were 14.1699 for DTPA (pH 7.3), 13.9587 for DTPA + ammonium bicarbonate, 13.7016 for Mehlich 3, 13.9402 for EDTA + ammonium carbonate, and 14.1810 for 1 mol L?1 MgCl2 (pH 6.0). The critical limits of Zn in rice grain and straw were 17.32 and 22.95 mg Zn kg?1 plant tissue, respectively.  相似文献

The effects of rape oil application on soil microbial communities and phenanthrene degradation were characterized by examining phenanthrene concentrations, changes in microbial composition and incorporation of [13C] phenanthrene-derived carbon into phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs). A Haplic Chernozem was incubated with and without rape oil in combination with and without phenanthrene over 60 days. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed a net reduction in extractable phenanthrene in the soils treated with rape oil but no net reduction in the soils without rape oil. Rape oil application increased the total PLFA content and changed microbial community composition predominantly due to growth of fungal groups and Gram-positive bacterial groups. Under rape oil and phenanthrene amendment all detected microbial groups grew until day 24 of incubation. The 13C PLFA profiles showed 13C enrichment for the PLFAs i14:0, 15:0, 18:0, 18:1ω5 and the fungal biomarker 18:2ω6,9 under rape oil application. Fungal PLFA growth was highest among detected all PLFAs, but its 13C incorporation was lower compared to the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria PLFAs. Our results demonstrate the effect of rape oil application on the abundance of microbial groups in soil treated with phenanthrene and its impact on phenanthrene degradation.  相似文献

A 13C natural abundance experiment including GC-c-IRMS analysis of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) was conducted to assess the temporal dynamics of the soil microbial community and carbon incorporation during the mineralization of plant residues under the impact of heavy metals and acid rain. Maize straw was incorporated into (i) control soil, (ii) soil irrigated with acid rain, (iii) soil amended with heavy metal-polluted filter dust and (iv) soil with both, heavy metal and acid rain treatment, over a period of 74 weeks. The mineralization of maize straw carbon was significantly reduced by heavy metal impact. Reduced mineralization rate of the added carbon likely resulted from a reduction of the microbial biomass due to heavy metal stress, while the efficiency of 13C incorporation into microbial PLFAs was hardly affected. Since acid rain did not significantly change soil pH, little impact on soil microorganisms and mineralization rate was found. Temporal dynamics of labelling of microbial PLFAs were different between bacterial and fungal PLFA biomarkers. Utilization of maize straw by bacterial PLFAs peaked immediately after the application (2 weeks), while labelling of the fungal biomarker 18:2ω6,9 was most pronounced 5 weeks after the application. In general, 13C labelling of microbial PLFAs was closely linked to the amounts of maize carbon present in the soil. The distinct higher labelling of microbial PLFAs in the heavy metal-polluted soils 74 weeks after application indicated a large fraction of available maize straw carbon still present in the soil.  相似文献

The overall processes by which carbon is fixed by plants in photosynthesis then released into the soil by rhizodeposition and subsequently utilized by soil micro-organisms, links the atmospheric and soil carbon pools. The objective of this study was to determine the plant derived 13C incorporated into the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) pattern in paddy soil, to test whether utilization of rice rhizodeposition carbon by soil micro-organisms is affected by soil water status. This is essential to understand the importance of flooded conditions in regulating soil microbial community structure and activity in wetland rice systems. Rice plants were grown in soil derived from a paddy system under controlled irrigation (CI), or with continuous waterlogging (CW). Most of the 13C-labelled rice rhizodeposition carbon was distributed into the PLFAs 16:0, 18:1ω7 and 18:1ω9 in both the CW and CI treatments. The bacterial PLFAs i15:0 and a15:0, both indicative of gram positive bacteria, were relatively more abundant in the treatments without rice plants. When rice plants were present rates of 13C-incorporation into i15:0 and a15:0 was slow; the microbes containing these PLFAs may derive most of their carbon from more recalcitrant C (soil organic matter). PLFAs, 18:1ω7 and 16:1ω7c, indicative of gram negative bacteria showed a greater amount incorporation of labelled plant derived carbon in the CW treatment. In contrast, 18:2ω6,9 indicative of fungi and 18:1ω9 indicative of aerobes but also potentially fungi and plant roots had greater incorporation in the CI treatment. The greater root mass concomitant with lower incorporation of 13C into the total PLFA pool in the CW treatment suggests that the microbial communities in wetland rice soil are limited by factors other than substrate availability in flooded conditions. In this study differing soil microbial communities were established through manipulating the water status of paddy soils. Steady state 13C labelling enabled us to determine that the microbial community utilizing plant derived carbon was also affected by water status.  相似文献

Root-derived rhizodeposits of recent photosynthetic carbon (C) are the foremost source of energy for microbial growth and development in rhizosphere soil. A substantial amount of photosynthesized C by the plants is translocated to belowground and is released as root exudates that influence the structure and function of soil microbial communities with potential inference in nutrient and C cycling in the ecosystem. We applied the 13C pulse chase labeling technique to evaluate the incorporation of rhizodeposit-C into the phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) in the bulk and rhizosphere soils of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). Soil samples of bulk and rhizosphere were taken at 1, 5, 10 and 20 days after labeling and analyzed for 13C enrichment in the microbial PLFAs. Temporal differences of 13C enrichment in PLFAs were more prominent than spatial differences. Among the microbial PLFA biomarkers, fungi and Gram-negative (GM-ve) bacterial PLFAs showed rapid enrichment with 13C compared to Gram-positive (GM+ve) and actinomycetes in rhizosphere soil. The 13C enrichment of actinomycetes biomarker PLFA significantly increased along with sampling time in both soils. PLFAs indicative to fungi, GM-ve and GM+ve showed a significant decrease in 13C enrichment over sampling time in the rhizosphere, but a decrease was also observed in GM-ve (16:1ω5c) and fungal biomarker PLFAs in the bulk soil. The relative 13C concentration in fungal PLFA decreased on day 10, whereas those of GM-ve increased on day 5 and GM+ve remained constant in the rhizosphere soil. However, the relative 13C concentrations of GM-ve and GM+ve increased on days 5 and 10, respectively, and those of fungal remain constant in the bulk soil. The present study demonstrates the usefulness of 13C pulse chase labeling together with PLFA analysis to evaluate the active involvement of microbial community groups for utilizing rhizodeposit-C.  相似文献

Rhizodeposit-carbon provides a major energy source for microbial growth in the rhizosphere of grassland soils. However, little is known about the microbial communities that mediate the rhizosphere carbon dynamics, especially how their activity is influenced by changes in soil management. We combined a 13CO2 pulse-labeling experiment with phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis in differently managed Belgian grasslands to identify the active rhizodeposit-C assimilating microbial communities in these grasslands and to evaluate their response to management practices. Experimental treatments consisted of three mineral N fertilization levels (0, 225 and 450 kg N ha−1 y−1) and two mowing frequencies (3 and 5 times y−1). Phospholipid fatty acids were extracted from surface (0-5 cm) bulk (BU) and root-adhering (RA) soil samples prior to and 24 h after pulse-labeling and were analyzed by gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-c-IRMS). Soil habitats significantly differed in microbial community structure (as revealed by multivariate analysis of mol% biomarker PLFAs) as well as in gram-positive bacterial rhizodeposit-C uptake (as revealed by greater 13C-PLFA enrichment following pulse-labeling in RA compared to BU soil in the 450N/5M treatment). Mowing frequency did not significantly alter the relative abundance (mol%) or activity (13C enrichment) of microbial communities. In the non-fertilized treatment, the greatest 13C enrichment was seen in all fungal biomarker PLFAs (C16:1ω5, C18:1ω9, C18:2ω6,9 and C18:3ω3,6,9), which demonstrates a prominent contribution of fungi in the processing of new photosynthate-C in non-fertilized grassland soils. In all treatments, the lowest 13C enrichment was found in gram-positive bacterial and actinomycetes biomarker PLFAs. Fungal biomarker PLFAs had significantly lower 13C enrichment in the fertilized compared to non-fertilized treatments in BU soil (C16:1ω5, C18:1ω9) as well as RA soil (all fungal biomarkers). While these observations clearly indicated a negative effect of N fertilization on fungal assimilation of plant-derived C, the effect of N fertilization on fungal abundance could only be detected for the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) PLFA (C16:1ω5). On the other hand, increases in the relative abundance of gram-positive bacterial PLFAs with N fertilization were found without concomitant increases in 13C enrichment following pulse-labeling. We conclude that in situ13C pulse-labeling of PLFAs is an effective tool to detect functional changes of those microbial communities that are dominantly involved in the immediate processing of new rhizosphere-C.  相似文献

Our aim was to determine whether the smaller biomasses generally found in low pH compared to high pH arable soils under similar management are due principally to the decreased inputs of substrate or whether some factor(s) associated with pH are also important. This was tested in a soil incubation experiment using wheat straw as substrate and soils of different pHs (8.09, 6.61, 4.65 and 4.17). Microbial biomass ninhydrin-N, and microbial community structure evaluated by phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), were measured at 0 (control soil only), 5, 25 and 50 days and CO2 evolution up to 100 days. Straw addition increased biomass ninhydrin-N, CO2 evolution and total PLFA concentrations at all soil pH values. The positive effect of straw addition on biomass ninhydrin-N was less in soils of pH 4.17 and 4.65. Similarly total PLFA concentrations were smallest at the lowest pH. This indicated that there is a direct pH effect as well as effects related to different substrate availabilities on microbial biomass and community structure. In the control soils, the fatty acids 16:1ω5, 16:1ω7c, 18:1ω7c&9t and i17:0 had significant and positive linear relationships with soil pH. In contrast, the fatty acids i15:0, a15:0, i16:0 and br17:0, 16:02OH, 18:2ω6,9, 17:0, 19:0, 17:0c9,10 and 19:0c9,10 were greatest in control soils at the lowest pHs. In soils given straw, the fatty acids 16:1ω5, 16:1ω7c, 15:0 and 18:0 had significant and positive linear relationships with pH, but the concentration of the monounsaturated 18:1ω9 PLFA decreased at the highest pHs. The PLFA profiles indicative of Gram-positive bacteria were more abundant than Gram-negative ones at the lowest pH in control soils, but in soils given straw these trends were reversed. In contrast, straw addition changed the microbial community structures least at pH 6.61. The ratio: [fungal PLFA 18:2w6,9]/[total PLFAs indicative of bacteria] indicated that fungal PLFAs were more dominant in the microbial communities of the lowest pH soil. In summary, this work shows that soil pH has marked effects on microbial biomass, community structure, and response to substrate addition.  相似文献

We combined microbial community phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analyses with an in situ stable isotope 13CO2 labelling approach to identify microbial groups actively involved in assimilation of root-derived C in limed grassland soils. We hypothesized that the application of lime would stimulate more rapid 13C assimilation and turnover in microbial PLFAs. Four and 8 d after label application, 18:1ω9, 18:2ω6,9 (fungal biomarkers) and 16:1ω7, 18:1ω7, 19:0cy (Gram-negative bacterial biomarkers) showed the most 13C enrichment and rapid turnover rates. This suggests that these microorganisms were assimilating recently-photosynthesized root C inputs to soils. Contrary to our hypothesis, liming did not affect assimilation or turnover rates of 13C-labelled C. 13C stable isotope pulse-labelling technique paired with analyses of PLFA microbial biomarkers shows promise for in situ investigations of microbial function in soils.  相似文献

A study was conducted with 24 piedmont soils of Arunachal Pradesh (India) to estimate the critical limit of available boron (B) in soil and cowpea plant for predicting the response of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) to B application. The critical concentration of available B in these soils was established by graphical procedure at 0.48 mg kg?1 for soil and at 24.5 mg kg?1 in the plant tissues. Soil containing available B below the critical limit responded appreciably to B fertilization. A negative response to B application was also observed in soils at higher level of available B. The average dry matter yield increased with the increasing level of B application up to 1.5 mg kg?1. The yield response to B application in cowpea on B deficient soils was 34.5%. Based on the critical value of 0.48 mg kg?1, 10 soils were rated to be adequate and 20.0% soils belonging to this category responding to B application, whereas 85.7% soils below the critical value showed a positive response to B application. The hot water soluble B was significantly and positively correlated with organic carbon, cation exchange capacity and clay contents and negatively correlated with pH, silt and sand contents of soils.  相似文献

Purpose

The area of cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil in China is increasing due to the rapid development of the Chinese economy. To ensure that the rice produced in China meets current food safety and quality standards, the current soil quality standards for paddy soils urgently need to be updated.

Materials and methods

We conducted a pot experiment with 19 representative paddy soils from different parts of China to study the effects of soil properties on bioaccumulation of Cd in rice grains. The experiment included a control, a low treatment concentration (0.3 mg kg–1 for pH?<?6.5 and 0.6 mg kg–1 for pH?≥?6.5), and a high treatment concentration (0.6 mg kg–1 for pH?<?6.5 and 1.2 mg kg–1 for pH?≥?6.5) of Cd salt added to soils.

Results and discussion

The results showed that the Cd content in grains of the control and low and high Cd treatments ranged from 0.021 to 0.14, 0.07 to 0.27, and 0.12 to 0.33 mg kg–1, respectively. Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that soil pH and organic carbon (OC) content could explain over 60 % of the variance in the (log-transformed) bioaccumulation coefficient (BCF) of Cd in grains across soils. Aggregated boosted trees analysis showed that soil pH and OC were the main factors controlling Cd bioavailability in paddy soils. Validation of the models against data from recent literature indicated that they were able to accurately predict the BCF in paddy soils.

Conclusions

These quantitative relationships between the BCF of Cd in grains and soil properties are helpful for developing soil-specific guidance on Cd safety threshold value for paddy soils.  相似文献

The microbiota in the percolating water from the plow layer soil in paddy fields was studied based on the composition of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) in a pot experiment. The mean concentrations of PLFAs in the percolating water were 17±5 and 11±4 µg L-1 in the planted and non-planted pots, respectively. The dominant PLFAs in the percolating water were 16: 0, 16: 1ω7c, 18: 1ω7, 18: 1ω9, il5: 0, and ail5: 0 PLFAs in both the planted and non-planted pots. The dominance percentage of 18: 3ω6c and 17: 1ω8 PLFAs increased at the late stage of rice growth in the planted pots. The percolating water from the planted pots contained in a higher percentage of straight mono-unsaturated PLFAs and a lower percentage of branched-chain PLFAs than that from the non-planted pots. Considerable differences in the PLFA composition in the percolating water were observed between the planted and non-planted treatments and with the duration of the growth period. Principal component analysis indicated that the microbiota in the percolating water was derived from the microbiota in the floodwater and in the plow layer soil. Cluster analysis showed that the similarity of the PLFA composition in the percolating water to the PLFA composition in the plow layer soil was higher than that in the floodwater. The stress factor that was estimated from the trans/cis ratio of 16: 1ω7 PLFA was 0.08±0.04 and 0.14±0.05 in the percolating water from the planted and non-planted pots, respectively, which indicated that the degree of stress on the microbiota in the percolating water from the planted pots was low in a similar way to the degree of stress on the microbiota in the floodwater, while the degree in the percolating water from the non-planted pots was similar to that in the plow layer soil, respectively.  相似文献

Purpose

Chlorothalonil (CTN) has received much attention due to its broad-spectrum antifungal function and repeated applications in agriculture production practice. An incubation experiment was conducted to study the accumulating effects of CTN repeated application on soil microbial activities, biomass, and community and to contrast the discrepancy of effects in contrasting soils.

Materials and methods

Different dosage CTN (5 mg kg?1, T1, and 25 mg kg?1, T5) was applied into two contrasting soils at 7-day intervals. Soil samples were taken 7 days after each application to assess soil enzyme activities and gene abundances. At the end of incubation, the soil samples were also taken to analyze microbial communities in the two test soils.

Results and discussion

Soil fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis (FDAH) and urease activities were inhibited by CTN repeated applications. After 28 days of incubation, bacterial 16S rRNA gene abundances in T1 and T5 treatments were significantly lower than those in the CK treatments (46.4 and 36.6 % of the CK treatment in acidic red soil, 53.6 and 37.9 % of the CK treatment in paddy soil). Archaeal 16S rRNA gene abundances of T1 and T5 treatments were observed the similar trends (56.1 and 40.8 % of the CK treatment in acidic red soil, 45.6 and 43.7 % of the CK treatment in paddy soil). Repeated applications at 25 mg kg?1 exerted significantly negative effects on the Shannon-Weaver, Simpson and McIntosh indices.

Conclusions

Microbial activity, biomass, and functional diversity were significantly inhibited by repeated CTN application at the higher dosage (25 mg kg?1), but the inhibitory effects by the application at the recommended dosage (5 mg kg?1) were erratic. More emphasis needs to be placed on the soil type and cumulative toxicity from repeated CTN application when assessing environmental risk.

The benefits of liming acidic or calcium (Ca)-deficient soils for soil structure and fertility are well documented. However, little is known about the effect of liming nearly neutral loess soils – lacking Ca – on interactions between soil nutrients. Over a 2-year period, 62 field trials were conducted in Germany and Austria with three treatments (0, 3 and 12 t CaO ha?1) on slightly acidic loess soils. Soil samples from the top soil layer were taken 4, 8, 16 and 24 weeks after liming. In addition to the pHCaCl2, the phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and Ca contents were analysed using electro-ultrafiltration (EUF). The application of lime increased the pH in average from 6.6 up to 7.0 and 7.2, but did not decrease EUF extractable P and K below the level of untreated control. Contrary to our expectations, EUF extractable P increased 4 weeks after liming in the treatment with 3 t CaO ha?1. At the end of incubation period, 24 weeks after liming, the EUF extractable K in treatment 12 t CaO ha?1 remained still 1.3 mg K 100 g?1 soil above the untreated control.  相似文献

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the effect of initial soil pH and organic anion-to-acid ratio on changes in soil pH.

Materials and methods

Two soils (Podosol and Tenosol) along with two carboxylic acids (malic and citric acid) and their anions (sodium malate and citrate), commonly found in plant residues, were used in this study. Stock solutions of either malic acid and disodium malate or citric acid and trisodium citrate were added to pre-incubated soils at anion-to-acid ratios of 0:100, 10:90, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, 90:10, 100:0 and at 0.25 g C kg?1 soil. Soils were adjusted to 80 % field capacity and mixed thoroughly, and three replicates of 50 g of each soil were transferred into individual plastic cores and incubated at 25 °C in the dark for 30 days. Soil pH, respiration, NH4 +, and NO3 ? were determined.

Results and discussion

Soil pH increased linearly with increasing organic anion-to-acid ratio. The addition of organic anions to soil resulted in net alkalinisation. However, the addition of organic acids immediately decreased soil pH. During subsequent incubation, soil pH increased when the organic anions were decomposed. Alkalinity generation was lower in the Podosol (initial pH 4.5) than in the Tenosol (initial pH 6.2), and was proportional to anion-to-acid ratio across all the treatments. Cumulative CO2-C release was approximately three times lower in the Podosol than the Tenosol at day 2 due to lower microbial activity in the low-pH Podosol.

Conclusions

Increasing anion-to-acid ratio of organic compounds increased soil pH. Increases in soil pH were mainly attributed to direct chemical reactions and decomposition of organic anions. Low pH decreased the amount of alkalinity generated by addition of organic compounds due to incomplete decomposition of the added compounds. This study implies that organic anion-to-acid ratio in plant residues plays an important role in soil pH change.  相似文献

The tight coupling between nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) suggests that P availability may affect soil microbial N dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. However, how P addition affects the internal N transformations in P-deficient agricultural soil remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that an increase in gross microbial N rates in P-deficient soil should occur after long-term P inputs in agricultural soils. We thus conducted a 15N pool dilution experiment to quantify the gross microbial N transformation rates after long-term mineral fertilizer applications in an upland fluvo-aquic soil (from Fengqiu with pH 8.55) and upland red soil (from Qiyang with pH 5.49) in China. We found that P addition significantly enhanced the gross N mineralization and immobilization rates when N and K were also applied, probably due to the increased soil total C and N concentrations at both soils. Also, gross nitrification rate was stimulated by P addition, perhaps because of enhanced gross N mineralization rates and associated NH4+ substrate availability. Our results showed that long-term P addition may stimulate soil gross N dynamics and hence increase overall N availability for crops in P-deficient agricultural soils.  相似文献

Abstract

Phosphorus (P) availability to plants in reclaimed alkali soils was the main objective of this study, which was also focused on P transformations, decrease in Olsen‐P content, and magnitude of P lost in leachate in course of amendment application and leaching. Liquid sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) was added to nonalkali soils to set up four ESP (exchangeable sodium percentage) levels (viz., 2.9, 25.0, 50.0, and 75.0), but actual ESP levels obtained were 2.9, 24.6, 51.2, and 75.3. Amendments (viz., gypsum and pyrites) and P treatments (viz., 0 and 50 mg P Kg?1) were mixed with dry, sieved soil before filling into PVC (polyvinyl chloride) drainage columns, which were then compacted to uniform bulk density and leached with deionized water for 30 days. Results indicated that the pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of the soils increased with increase in ESP level of the soil but decreased with amendment application. Phosphorus addition to alkali soils decreased the pH on day 30, but it could not affect the EC of the soils. Successive increase in the ESP level of the soil increased the pH and EC off the leachate. Gypsum‐amended soils exhibited lower pH and EC values than pyrite‐amended soils. The EC of the leachate decreased sharply with time in amended soils, but the pH decreased slowly. Phosphorus addition affected the leachate pH earlier than the soil pH. Cumulative volume of leachate decreased with increasing ESP levels, but it increased with amendment and phosphorus application. Leaching of P increased with increase in ESP levels, and the maximum cumulative loss of P was 11.2 mg Kg?1 in the 75.3 ESP soil. Cumulative P lost in the pyrite‐amended soils was higher than the gypsum‐amended soils. Phosphorus leaching in the gypsum‐amended soils stopped at day 10 and beyond, but it continued until day 30 in the pyrite‐amended soils. Part of the applied P in alkali soils was also lost along with the native P, whereas it was protected in the nonalkali soils. OlsenP increased with increasing ESP levels, and alkali soils invariably contained higher Olsen P than nonalkali soils. At day 30, alkali soils contained much higher Olsen P (12.6 mg Kg?1) than nonalkali soils (5.9 mg Kg?1). In general, there was a decrease in the Olsen P with both of the amendments, but it decreased more with pyrites than with gypsum. Phosphorus added through monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4) remained extractable by Olsen's extractant up to day 30. Results also indicated that percent distribution of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl)‐P, calcium (Ca)‐P, and unknown P increased with rising ESP levels but iron (Fe)‐aluminum (Al)‐bound P and residual P decreased. Percent distribution of Ca‐P and unknown P exhibited an increase with time also. Unamended alkali soils contained more NH4Cl‐P than amended ones. Iron and Al‐ bound P and residual P increased more with pyrites, whereas formation of Ca‐P and unknown P was enhanced with gypsum. Applied P tended to convert more into NH4Cl‐P, Ca‐P, and residual P than to Fe‐Al‐bound P or unknown P fractions. Models developed to estimate Olsen P and P concentration in leachate, through pH or EC, have application value for P management in alkali soils that are leached after application of amendments.  相似文献
