As the main products of dissimilatory iron reduction, the Fe(Ⅱ) species accumulation could indicate the reduction ability. The effects of different green manures on Fe(Ⅲ) reduction in paddy soil were explored based on a 31-year rice-rice-winter green manure cropping experiment. Four treatments were involved, i.e., rice-rice-milk vetch (RRV), rice-rice-rape (RRP), rice-rice-ryegrass (RRG) and rice-rice-winter fallow (RRF). Soils were sampled at flowering stage of milk vetch and rape (S1), before transplantation (S2), at tillering (S3), jointing (S4), and mature (S5) stages of the early rice, and after the harvest of the late rice (S6). The contents of TFeHa (HCI-extractable total Fe), Fe(Ⅱ)HCI (HCI-extractable Fe(Ⅱ) species) and Fe(Ⅲ)HCI (HCI- extractable Fe(Ⅲ) species) were measured. The correlations among those Fe species with selected soil environmental factors and the dynamic characteristics of Fe(Ⅱ)HCI accumulation were investigated. The results showed that TFeHc~ in RRF was significantly higher than those in the green manure treatments at most of the sampling stages. Fe(II)Ha increased rapidly after the incorporation of green manures in all treatments and kept rising with the growth of early rice. Fe(Ⅱ)Ha in RRG was quite different from those in other treatments, i.e., it reached the highest at the S2 stage, then increased slowly and became the lowest one at the S4 and S5 stages. Fe(Ⅲ)Ha showed oppositely, and Fe(Ⅱ)HCI/Fe(Ⅲ)HCI performed similarly to Fe(Ⅱ)HCI The maximum accumulation potential of Fe(Ⅱ)HCI was significantly higher in RRF, while the highest maximum reaction rate of Fe(Ⅱ)Ha accumulation appeared in RRG. Significant correlations were found between the indexes of Fe(Ⅱ)HCI accumulation and soil pH, oxidation-reduction potential (Eh) and total organic acids, respectively. In together, we found that long-term application of green manures decreased the TFeHa in red paddy soils, but promoted the ability of Fe(lll) reduction, especially the ryegrass; Fe(Ⅱ)Ha increased along with the growth of rice and was affected by soil conditions and environmental factors, especially the water and redox ability.展开更多

The Chao1 richness and non-parametric Shannon's index increased in all soil samples that received green manure treatments. The communities' structures with the green manure applications were significantly dissimilar from that under the winter fallow. Using Metastats tests, many genera in the RRG, RRP and RRV soils were significantly different from those in the RRF soil, including a number of genera that functioned in the nitrogen and sulfur cycles. Analyses of the genera with these functions revealed the shifts in microbial ecosystem functions after long-term green manuring. Changes in the microbial communities increased the ammonium supply and decreased the soil acidification in green-manure-amended soils. Together, these data suggested powerful effects of green manure on both the microbial communities and the biogeochemical cycle driven by the shifts in bacterial functional groups.展开更多

February Orchid-spring maize rotation system is a newly established planting system with the benefits of ground cover and potential wind erosion in northern China. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of integrated application of February Orchid as green manure with reduction of chemical fertilizers(INTEGRATED) on spring maize yield, N uptake, ammonium volatilization, and soil residual mineral N in northern China. Compared to farmers' traditional fertilization(CON), integrated application of February Orchid as green manure with 30% reduction of nitrogen fertilizers(INTEGRATED) increased maize grain yield and biomass by 9.9 and 10.2%, respectively. The 0–100 cm soil residual Nmin at harvest was decreased by 58.5% and thus nitrogen use efficiency was increased significantly by 26.7%. The nitrogen balance calculation further demonstrated that the INTEGRATED approach performed better than CON with lower apparent nitrogen loss(decreased by 48.9%) which evidenced by the ammonium volatilization of top-dressing fertilizer was decreased by 31.1%, the N_(min) movement to the deeper soil layers was reduced, and the apparent nitrogen leaching loss nearly equal to 0 under the INTEGRATED treatment. Therefore, in northern China, integrated application of green manure and chemical fertilizers is an efficient management approach for improving maize yields and NUE simultaneously.展开更多
