Fractal Characteristics of Stagnic Anthrosols and the Relationship with Soil Micro-Structure

The Stagnic Anthrosols developed from quaternary yellow sedimentary parent material occupied an important position in Southwest China. Fractal dimensions of particle size and micro-aggregate size distributions of Stagnie Anthrosols and their relationship to soil micro-structure had been probed. Results showed that the soil particle size distributions were dominated by clay, the fractal dimensions of particle size distributions （Ds） were high and between 2.676-2.925, as the fractal dimensions of micro-aggregate size distributions （Da） were between 2.354-2.853. The fractal dimensions of particlesize distributions were preferably related with the ratio of coarse particles and fine particles （c/f20 ,m） and the micromorphological feature of skeleton grains. The evolution degree of micro-structure among horizons were reflected by the coefficient of variation of Ds within the profile. The fractal dimensions of micro-aggregate size distributions were related with the quantities, distributions of micro-aggregates and micro-pores. Results revealed that the soil micro-structures could be quantified by fractal dimensions preliminarily.

Pedogenic and Anthropogenic Influence on Calcium and Magnesium Behaviors in Stagnic Anthrosols

The formation of Stagnic Anthrosols is closely related to rice planting and parent materials. Six representative pedons, two from each of three Stagnic Anthrosol subgroups, Vertic Haplic-, Vertic Gleyic-, and Sulfic Gleyic-Stagnic Anthrosols, from different parent materials and soil formation processes, from Liaoning Province, China, were selected and used along with additional supporting data to assess the potential impact in each soil subgroup combination of both pedogenic and anthropogenic factors on the migration and geochemical characteristics of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) and their relations to soil particle-size composition. Results revealed that exchangeable Mg was correlated positively with clay and silt content, but negatively with sand content, suggesting that clay and silt could retain more exchangeable Mg than sand. Also, in the six pedons exchangeable Ca/Mg ratios generally decreased with depth, which was most likely due to the preferential retention of Mg below the Apl horizon and the effects of bio-cycling in rice-soil systems. The pedons with high pH had smaller exchangeable Ca/Mg ratios than those with low pH. Thus, it was concluded that exchangeable Ca/Mg ratios could be helpful in classification of Stagnic Anthrosols.

Micromorphological Features of Paleo-Stagnic-Anthrosols at Archaeological Site of Sanxingdui,China

The archaeological site of the Sanxingdui may date back as far as 5,000 years ago.The typical profiles of Palaeo-Stagnic-Anthrosols near the ancient site were selected,which aimed to identify diagnostic horizons employing methodology of soil taxonomic classification and to reveal the micromorphological properties of the paleosols.Under long-term anthropogenic mellowing,the discernible differentiation between anthrostagnic epipedon and its subhorizons as well as hydragric horizon and its subhorizons occurred in Paleo-Stagnic-Anthrosols at the archaeological site of the Sanxingdui.The micromorphological properties diversified among each specific diagnostic subhorizon,e.g.,the developed microstructure in cultivated subhorizon within anthrostagnic epipedon,closely arranged particles and considerable micropores beneficial to both of water conservation and filtration in plow subhorizon within anthrostagnic epipedon,and automorphic optical-orientation clays and calcareous corrosion in hydragric horizons.The findings above of micromorphological features related with diagnostic horizons are significant for soil taxonomic classification.

Changes in N,P and K Contents in Eum-orthic Anthrosols at Different Moisture Contents

[Objectives]This study aimed to provide a basis for the management of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium nutrients in eum-orthic anthrosols and the fertilization of crops.[Methods]Using the indoor culture method,the contents of total nitrogen,available phosphorus and available potassium in eum-orthic anthrosols under three different moisture conditions:long-term drying,long-term logging and alternate drying and logging were analyzed and compared.[Results]The total nitrogen content was higher under the moisture condition of long-term drying.The minimum(0.60 g/kg)appeared on day 30,and the maximum(0.74 g/kg)appeared on day 120,increased by 8.8%compared with the minimum.The available phosphorus content was also higher under the moisture condition of long-term drying.The minimum(16.9 mg/kg)appeared on day 60,and the maximum(22.5 mg/kg)appeared on day 120,increased by 33.1%compared to the minimum.The available potassium content showed a downward trend under long-term logging,and was higher than those under the other two moisture conditions.The maximum(150 mg/kg)appeared on day 30,and the minimum(136 mg/kg)appeared on days 75 and 90,reduced by 9.3%compared with the maximum.[Conclusions]Water plays a positive role in activating nutrients.Different nutrients have different responses to different moisture conditions.

Effect of Tillage System on Distribution of Aggregates and Organic Carbon in a Hydragric Anthrosol

The effect of different tillage systems on the size distribution of aggregates and organic carbon distribution and storage in different size aggregates in a Hydragric Anthrosol were studied in a long-term experiment in Chongqing,China. The experiment included three tillage treatments:conventional tillage with rotation of rice and winter fallow(CT-r) system,no-till and ridge culture with rotation of rice and rape(RT-rr) system,and conventional tillage with rotation of rice and rape(CT-rr) system. The results showed that the aggregates 0.02-0.25 mm in diameter accounted for the largest portion in each soil layer under all treatments. Compared with the CT-r system,in the 0-10 cm layer,the amount of aggregates > 0.02 mm was larger under the RT-rr system,but smaller under the CT-rr system. In the 0-20 cm layer,the organic carbon content of all fractions of aggregates was the highest under the RT-rr system and lowest under the CT-rr system. The total organic carbon content showed a positive linear relationship with the amount of aggregates with diameter ranging from 0.25 to 2 mm. The storage of organic carbon in all fractions of aggregates under the RT-rr system was higher than that under the CT-r system in the 0-20 cm layer,but in the 0-60 cm soil layer,there was no distinct difference. Under the CT-rr system,the storage of organic carbon in all fractions of aggregates was lower than that under the CT-r system;most of the newly lost organic carbon was from the aggregates 0.002-0.02 and 0.02-0.25 mm in diameter.

Human-altered soils–Signatures of Anthrosols and their potential for arable lands

The fertility of human-altered soils,Anthrosols,developed from past settlement activities for crop production is scarcely studied.The study evaluated the fertility of Anthrosols developed from the 15th to mid-20th century AD settlement in Old Buipe,Savanna region,Ghana,to determine whether abandoned localities are suitable for arable fields.Human activities enhanced the physical attributes of the Anthrosols:brown to dark brown intergrain fine soil,15%−35%organic matter,15%−30%potsherd,and 5%−15%charred materials.The Anthrosols were slightly acidic to neutral reactions(pH_([H_(2)O])5.67−6.83,pH_([cacl_(2)])5.83−6.95),high cation exchange capacity(CEC;18.77−45.31me/100 g),electric conductivity(EC=0.28−0.36 dS m^(−1)),accumulation,and distribution of organic C,total N,P,Mn,Cu,Zn,K,and Fe,and available P,K,Ca,Mg,S,Mn,Fe,Cu,and Zn.Plant-available nutrients were comparatively higher than concentrations in non-anthropogenic soils.The level of releasability(bioavailable fractions of total concentrations)of P,K,Ca,Mn,Fe,Cu,and Zn partly compensates for low plant-available portions.Enrichment of chemical and physical properties of Anthrosols make them fertile for arable fields.The signatures of settlement activities are strong and can remain in soils for a long time,even under harsh environmental conditions.

水耕人为土时间序列铁氧化物与磁化率演变特征

以我国亚热带地区不同母质起源的水耕人为土时间序列为研究对象,分析不同形态铁氧化物和磁化率随成土时间的动态演变特征及其影响因素。结果表明,石灰性母质起源的水耕人为土0~120 cm土体中全铁(Fet)、游离铁(Fed)和游离度(Fed/Fet)随时间序列演变均逐渐增加,0~50 a内Fet、Fed和Fed/Fet增加速率分别为3.2 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)、1.2 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)和0.04%a^(-1),50~1 000 a内Fet、Fed和Fed/Fet增加速率分别为0.1 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)、0.15 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)和0.01%a^(-1);而酸性母质起源的水耕人为土0~120 cm土体中Fet、Fed和Fed/Fet随时间序列演变均逐渐下降,0~60 a内Fet、Fed和Fed/Fet下降速率分别为0.2 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)、0.5 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)和0.03%a^(-1),60~300 a内Fet、Fed和Fed/Fet下降速率分别为0.9 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)、1.2 t hm^(-2) a^(-1)和0.06%a^(-1)。土壤pH、Eh、以及外源铁输入与土体内铁淋失的相对强度是控制不同母质水耕人为土中铁氧化物转化速率与途径的主要因素。石灰性母质起源的水耕人为土中不同磁学指标随时间演变分为三个阶段:0~50 a内表现为质量磁化率(MS)、饱和等温剩磁(SIRM)和软剩磁(IRMs)的急剧降低;50~300 a内表现为MS、SIRM和IRMs的持续、缓慢降低以及硬剩磁(IRMh)的相对稳定发展;300~1 000 a内表现为MS、SIRM和IRMs的持续、缓慢降低以及IRMh的快速下降。酸性母质起源的水耕人为土0~20 cm和20~120 cm土壤中磁学指标演变呈现截然不同的两个阶段:0~60 a 0~20 cm内MS,SIRM和IRMs的急剧降低,IRMh具有明显增加;而20~120 cm内MS、SIRM和IRMs缓慢下降,IRMh明显降低。60~300 a 0~20 cm内不同磁学指标变化幅度均很小,而20~120 cm内IRMh相对比较稳定,MS、SIRM和IRMs在种稻150 a后快速下降。淹水还原条件下亚铁磁性矿物的破坏是不同母质水耕人为土演变过程中磁性衰减的主要机制。

不同施肥处理对黄泥土微生物生物量碳氮和酶活性的影响

通过室内培育实验,研究了不同施肥处理对黄泥土微生物生物量C、N和脲酶、酸性磷酸酶、蔗糖酶活性的影响。培养过程中,单施化肥处理土壤微生物生物量C、N均呈下降趋势,施用有机肥处理的土壤微生物量C前期升高至一定水平后或保持稳定、或呈下降趋势,而微生物生物量N总体均呈下降趋势;不同施肥处理的脲酶活性呈前期上升后期下降趋势,而酸性磷酸酶和蔗糖酶则单施化肥处理呈上升趋势、配施有机肥处理呈下降趋势。与对照处理相比,单施化肥处理显著降低土壤微生物生物量C、N,高量施用化肥处理还显著降低土壤脲酶活性,但对酸性磷酸酶和蔗糖酶活性的影响并不明显。秸秆施用可显著提高土壤微生物生物量C、N和酶活性,特别是高量施用秸秆的效果更明显。施用猪粪由于同时带入了大量的活性养分,对土壤微生物生物量C、 N和酶活性的影响尚难评价。在高度集约农业利用下,继续保持较高的化肥施用量并不利于土壤生物质量的维护和提高,而秸秆直接还田才是保持土壤健康状态的有效措施。

陕西三种类型土壤剖面硝酸盐累积、分布与土壤质地的关系

研究了陕北黄绵土,关中(土娄)土与陕南水稻土土壤剖面中硝酸盐的分布与累积,分析了硝酸盐淋移与土壤剖面粘粒含量的关系.结果表明,黄绵土由于粘粒含量少,土壤疏松,氮肥施入土壤后硝化作用速度快,氮素多以硝态氮存在于土壤中,遇到过量的灌溉或降水,容易引起硝酸盐淋失.在米脂的川道地,施肥2个月后,硝酸盐峰值在50 cm 左右,4个多月后,峰值下移至100 cm 左右,6个月后,该峰值下降到130 cm 左右,一年内,硝酸盐的峰值已经消失,分布在130至 350 cm 之间.因此,在黄绵土地区可以灌溉的川道地,氮素损失的主要途径是硝酸盐淋失.关中(土娄)土,粘粒含量相对较高,硝化作用速度快,但由于在80-120 cm有一粘化层,阻碍了水分与硝酸盐的向下淋移,使得大部分硝酸盐累积在0-100 cm 土层,其累积量占到0-400 cm总累积量的64% ～ 74%,而200-400 cm仅占到7% ～ 13%.而且淋移到100 cm 以下的硝酸盐,也通过反硝化损失了.陕南水稻土,由于深层土壤水饱和,硝酸盐难以向下淋移,氮素主要累积在土壤表层.由于下层土壤长期处于厌气条件,即使淋移到下层的硝酸盐也通过反硝化作用而损失掉了.

施氮量和蚕豆/玉米间作对土壤无机氮时空分布的影响

在田间条件下于2006～2007年研究了不同氮水平下（N 0、75、150、2253、00 kg/hm2）蚕豆/玉米间作体系与其相应单作体系土壤无机氮的时空分布规律,旨在为河西走廊灌区蚕豆/玉米间作体系的氮素管理提供理论依据。用土钻法采集土壤剖面样品,CaCl2浸提,流动分析仪测定土壤无机氮的方法研究了施氮量和蚕豆/玉米种间相互作用对土壤无机氮时间和空间变化特点。结果表明：灌漠土无机氮以NO3--N为主。蚕豆和玉米无机氮含量在蚕豆收获前种植方式间均无显著性差异,蚕豆收获后至玉米收获,间作显著降低了两种作物各层无机氮含量;无机氮含量随着施氮量增加而显著增加。蚕豆收获后间作体系0—100 cm土层无机氮累积量略高于单作体系,且0—100cm土层无机氮累积量高于100—160 cm土层;玉米收获后,间作蚕豆和玉米土壤无机氮累积量在0—100 cm土层分别平均降低了51.7%和16.6%,在100—160 cm土层平均降低了42.1%和6.1%;与不施氮相比,施氮蚕豆和玉米无机氮累积量在0—100 cm土层分别平均增加了40.1%和81.5%,在100—160 cm土层分别增加了69.6%和40.6%;与单作体系相比,间作体系0—100 cm和100—160 cm土层土壤无机氮分别降低43.4%和34.1%。因此,施氮肥显著增加土壤无机氮的累积,而豆科/禾本科间作减少了土壤无机氮的残留。

过量施肥下氮素形态对旱地土壤细菌多样性的影响

采用细菌16SrDNA的PCR-RFLP技术,以西北地区土垫旱耕人为土为材料,模拟田间过量施肥水平,经室内恒温短期培养,研究了过量施肥下酰胺态氮、硝态氮和铵态氮对土壤细菌多样性的影响。结果显示:PCR-RFLP分析酰胺态氮(T1)、硝态氮(T2)和铵态氮(T3)过量施肥处理的细菌16SrDNA克隆文库,分别得到17、25和130个酶切分型,不施肥对照(CK1)和正常施肥对照(CK2)分别得到119和187个酶切分型,表明正常施肥处理的酶切分型最多,过量使用酰胺态氮和硝态氮减少了酶切类型,而过量施用铵态氮可以维持与不施肥对照相近的酶切类型数量。采用α多样性测度对试验结果进行分析统计表明,不同处理间土壤细菌的多样性指数(H'、Ds)和物种丰富度指数(dM)a均为CK2>T3>CK1>T2>T1处理,表明合理施肥可显著增加土壤中细菌的多样性,而过量施用酰胺态氮则减少细菌的多样性,使用铵态氮处理可维持细菌多样性;除正常施肥对照(CK2)外,其余各处理都出现了优势菌种。通过对优势菌的16SrDNA序列比对发现,酰胺态氮处理都为未培养细菌,硝态氮处理和铵态氮处理的优势菌呈现了菌属多样性,前者包括变形菌门的假单胞菌属和寡养单胞菌属、芽单胞菌门的未培养芽单胞菌属和未培养土壤细菌,后者为未培养酸杆菌属、变形菌门寡养单胞菌属和厚壁菌门芽孢杆菌属,表明不同施肥方式改变了土壤细菌的群落结构。

母质对南方丘陵区水耕人为土理化性质演变的影响

基于时间序列系统分析了我国南方丘陵区三种母质起源的水耕人为土理化性质的演变,结果表明:成土母质可以决定黏粒与土壤有机碳(SOC)对人为水耕成土过程的敏感性,明显影响其演变特征。游离铁(Fed)对人为水耕的成土过程非常敏感,其迁移与转化主要受人为水耕成土过程影响,受成土母质影响很小;硅酸盐铁(Fet-Fed)对人为水耕的成土过程不敏感,但全铁(Fet)含量的分布主要受Fed的影响。黏粒的淋失会对土壤中元素的迁移与分布产生重要影响,造成SiO2相对富集和Al2O3相对亏损,在利用由Al和Si两种元素计算所得到的一些指标指示丘陵区水耕人为土的发育程度时一定要慎重;而TiO2在水耕人为土发育过程中相对稳定,可以作为稳定元素来指示水耕人为土演变过程中其他元素的迁移率。
