有机质对土壤吸附重金属的影响

随着人们对土壤重金属污染的重视,土壤对重金属吸附研究已成为土壤表面化学领域的研究热点。土壤固定重金属的主要组分除土壤粘粒矿物、氧化物外,还有土壤有机物质[1]。近年来的研究表明[2],土壤有机质有富集重金属的趋向。

浙江天童植物群落演替对土壤化学性质的影响

对浙江天童植物群落演替过程的土壤腐殖质层、０～１０ｃｍ层和１０～２０ｃｍ层化学因子的比较研究结果表明，随着进展演替，土壤全氮含量呈明显增长趋势，但硝态氮、氨态氮、速效氮、速效磷和速效钾含量除演替初期的裸地、灌丛较小外，森林群落阶段增长趋势一般不明显；土壤ｐＨ值则缺乏明显的规律性，但有机质含量呈明显增长趋势，而富里酸和胡敏酸含量，除栲树木荷林和栲树林较高，裸地最低外，其它演替阶段增长趋势也不明显；ＨＡ／ＦＡ在腐殖质层缺乏明显的规律性，但在０～１０ｃｍ和１０～２０ｃｍ层则呈减少趋势．可见，常绿阔叶林次生演替能增加土壤有机物质含量，促进土壤有机物质的矿化和再合成作用；而土壤化学性状的改善，也为常绿阔叶林的进展演替奠定了基础．

旱地和水田有机碳分解速率的探讨与质疑

14C标记的羊粪、杂交狼尾草（象草）及其根部分别施于淋溶土中，在30℃培养365天。土壤保持旱地（70％WHC）和淹水两种状态，进行有机碳在土壤中分解的对比试验。另一组试验采用14C标记的水稻秸和玉米秸，分别施于老成土和变性土中，在上述相同的水分条件下于30℃培养112天进行对比。所有加入的不同有机物料。不论是在何种土壤，其在淹水土壤中的有机碳分解速率均快于旱地土壤，而前者的残留率却明显低于后者。淹水处理中各种不同有机物料的分解半衰期约为旱地相应处理的1．4—2．0倍。这和有关有机质在旱地和水田土壤中分解速率的传统概念相反。作者认为如果旱地和水田的土壤条件均适宜于微生物的代谢作用，水田土壤中不论是有机碳的分解速率还是分解量实质上均大于旱地土壤。

土壤保护措施提高赤霞珠葡萄花青素含量

据（Scientia Horticulturae））的一篇研究报道（2013．05．025），来自美国农业部的研究人员报道了土壤保护措施对赤霞珠葡萄花青素含量的影响。作物覆盖和免耕对于葡萄园土壤有多重好处，如提高土壤有机物质、减少水土流失和尘土产生。这些土壤保护措施不仅对葡萄品质有利，还有利于作物生产可持续发展。研究人员于2003--2005年研究了3种不同土壤管理措施：耕种固定植被（RV＋till）、大麦作为覆盖作物并耕地（CC＋till）、种植大麦并割倒覆盖（CC＋mow）和两种砧木（生长势较弱的420A和生长势强的110R，定植于1994年）对赤霞珠葡萄花青素的影响。

氮肥决策支持系统(CMDSSN)的研究

CMDSSN是以CERES模型中的氮素平衡子程序为基础,面向对象的程序设计方法为手段建立的辅助用户氮肥决策的计算机软件应用系统。它可以模拟土壤有机物质和作物残留的周转过程,也可以模拟尿素和硝态氮的水解和氮素的损失。在实际生产中可以辅助氮肥施用决策、评价施肥方案、动态显示土壤中硝态氮和铵态氮变化趋势。最后选取了河北农业大学教学试验基地2002-2003年的试验数据对CMDSSN进行了验证。结果表明,系统在模拟土壤硝态氮、铵态氮含量及动态变化方面与实测值拟和较好。

果园清耕

每年对全园土壤进行多次耕耘,保持常年土松无草。工具多用犁、中耕机或锄、锨等。在干旱和半湿润地区,果实采收前后,或雨季到来之前,进行中耕,深度10～15cm,近树干处稍浅;春、秋季则需浅耕,深10cm左右;生长期间,根据杂草孽生和降水情况进行多次耕耘。达到灭草、保墒、防涝和改善土壤微生物活动的目的，加速土壤有机物质的转化和可给养分的释放，以及防止返碱；在降水量大、土壤粘重的南方常绿果树果园，则应在做好水土保持和排除积涝的基础上，雨季深、中耕通气，伏旱时则浅锄保墒。清耕法易促使土壤有机质的过度消耗，不能长期维持地力和较大幅度增产，在风沙地区和水土流失地区，还易使土壤受到侵蚀。

Long-Term Effects of Manure and Inorganic Fertilizers on Yield and Soil Fertility for a Winter Wheat-Maize System in Jiangsu, China

Winter wheat-maize rotations are dominant cropping systems on the North China Plain, where recently the use of organic manure with grain crops has almost disappeared. This could reduce soil fertility and crop productivity in the long run. A 20-year field experiment was conducted to 1) assess the effect of inorganic and organic nutrient sources on yield and yield trends of both winter wheat and maize, 2) monitor the changes in soil organic matter content under continuous wheat-maize cropping with different soil fertility management schemes, and 3) identify reasons for yield trends observed in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, over a 20-year period. There were eight treatments applied to both wheat and maize seasons: a control treatment (C); three inorganic fertilizers, that is, nitrogen (N), nitrogen and phosphorus (NP), and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK); and addition of farmyard manure (FYM) to these four treatments, that is, M, MN, MNP, and MNPK. At the end of the experiment the MN, MNP, and MNPK treatments had the highest yields, about 7 t wheat ha-1 and 7.5 t maize ha-1, with each about 1 t ha-1 more than the NPK treatments. Over 20 years with FYM soil organic matter increased by 80% compared to only 10% with NPK, which explained yield increases. However, from an environmental and agronomic perspective, manure application was not a superior strategy to NPK fertilizers. If manure was to be applied, though, it would be best applied to the wheat crop, which showed a better response than maize.

Quantification and Remediation of Soil Chemical Degradation in Tropical Australia,China and Thailand

Soil and land degradation in the tropics can be identified and described interms of physical, chemical, and biological changes from its pristine state brought about by naturaland anthropogenic influences. A characteristic of these ecosystems is their capacity to recyclenutrients through soil organic matter (SOM). Following disturbance through changed land management,SOM is rapidly mineralized and there is a corresponding decline in fertility and the variable chargecomponent of the cation exchange capacity. As these ecosystems are strongly dependent on SOM fortheir functionality, changed land use can have irreversible impacts on the productivity of thesesystems. The paper focuses on quantifying chemical degradation through 'benchmarking' using datafrom paired sites in tropical China and Thailand using surface charge fingerprinting. Using valuestaken from the fingerprint of an undisturbed soil, an index of chemical degradation from 'ideality'was calculated. Various management strategies that attempt to reverse degradative trends or improvepoor quality soils in their natural condition are discussed, such as the addition of natural claysand silicated materials. Results are present to show the effect of each of the aforementionedstrategies on surface charge characteristics and associated increases in plant productivity.

Organic Matter Enrichment and Aggregate Stabilization in a Severely Degraded Ultisol After Reforestation

Three types of soils： an eroded barren soil under continuous fallow, an eroded soil transplanted with Lespedeza shrubs （Lespedeza bieolor）, and an eroded soil transplanted with camphor tree （Cinnaraomum camphora） were investigated to quantify organic matter pools and aggregates in reforested soils using physical fractionation techniques and to determine aggregate stability in relation to the enrichment of soil organic carbon （SOC）. Soil organic matter （SOM） was physically fractionalized into free particulate organic matter （fPOM）, occluded particulate organic matter （oPOM）, and mineralassociated organic matter （mOM）. The SOM was concentrated on the surface soil （0 5 cm）, with an average C sequestration rate of 20-25 g C m^-2 year^-1 over 14 years. As compared to the eroded barren land, organic C content of fPOM, oPOM, and mOM fractions of the soil under Lespedeza and under camphor tree increased 12-15, 45-54, and 3.1-3.5 times, respectively. A linear relationship was found between aggregate stability and organic C （r^2 = 0.45, P 〈 0.01）, oPOM （r^2 = 0.34, P 〈 0.05）, and roOM （r^2 = 0.46, P 〈 0.01） of aggregates. The enrichment of organic C improved aggregate stability of the soil under Lespedeza but not that under camphor tree. However, further research is needed on the physical and biological processes involved in the interaction of soil aggregation and SOC sequestration in ecosystem.

Distribution,Properties,Land Use and Management of Mollisols in South America

Mollisols are common in South America. They cover about 8.87 × 107ha, 1.3 × 107ha and 4.3 × 106ha in Argentina, Uruguay and Southern Brazil respectively, which is 11.5% of the world total. Most of South American Mollisols were developed on Pleistocene and Holocene sediments and lie within the limits of the temperate zone, though the extreme north is bordering subtropical and the extreme south is within a cold-temperate zone. All suborders of Mollisols occur in Argentina, the most extensive being Udolls followed by Ustolls, whereas only Udolls, Aquolls and Albolls occur in Uruguay. Vertisols in Uruguay have many properties similar to Mollisols, and the occurrence of Vertisols is strongly associated with Mollisols. The Pampean Mollisols are a significant component of the global breadbasket of modem times. The main Argentine crops are wheat, corn, sorghum, barmy, soybeans and sunflower, while Mollisols in Uruguay remain mostly dedicated to cattle and sheep grazing though crop production has been increasing very rapidly in the last decade. Throughout South America, research has shown that Mollisols are experiencing losses of soil organic matter and nutrients, and degradation of physical properties after long cropping periods, resulting in soil scientists calling for increased conservation practices to reduce future losses and a deterioration of soil quality, and thus a more sustainable agriculture in the region.

Estimation of Turnover and Equilibrium of Soil Organic Matter Using a Mathematical Approach

The methods based on N uptake of aerial-plants, soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics, Jenny's equation, and actual measurement of long-term field experiments in Jiaxing, Quzhou, Huangyan and Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province, China were used to determine the organic mineralization rate being helpful in estimating the organic requirement for SOM equilibrium. The results showed that the estimated mineralization ratios of SOM for Jiaxing and Quzhou were, respectively, 0.0404 and 0.0508 based on N uptake of aerial-plants in non-fertilized plots; 0.0405 and 0.012 using SOM dynamics in non-fertilized plots; and 0.0413 and 0.0513 using the actual investigated data and Jenny's equation. With Jenny's equation, soil organic C balance in manure + N-P-K plots was estimated at nearly 28.8 g kg-1 for Jiaxing and 32.4 g kg-1 for Quzhou with predicted SOM linearly related to the actual investigated values (r2 = 0.9640 for Jiaxing and 0.8541 for Quzhou). To maintain the SOM balance in the non-fertilized plots the recommended rate of organic materials was 3 000-6 600 kg ha-1, and the relevant rates of farm yard manure (FYM) in the manure and N-P-K plots were estimated at 3 375 (dry) and 17670 kg ha-1 (wet) for Jiaxing, 1845 (dry) and 6090 kg ha-1 (wet) for Quzhou.

Relation of Mineralizable N to Organic N Components in Dark Loessial Soils

Mineralizable N and organic N components in different layers (0～15, 15～30,30～45, 45～60, 60～80 and 80～100 cm) of six soils with different fertilities sampled from YongshouCounty, Shaanxi Province, China, were determined by the aerobic incubation method and the Bremnerprocedure, respectively. Correlation, multiple regression and path analyses were performed to studythe relation of mineralizable N to organic N components. Results of correlation and regressionanalyses showed that the amounts of the N mineralized were parallel to, and significantly correlatedwith, the total acid hydrolyzable N, but was not so with the acid-insoluble N. Of the hydrolyzableN, the amino acid N and the ammonia N had a highly consistent significant correlation with themineralized N, and their partial regression coefficients were significant in the regressionequations, showing their importance in contribution to the mineralizable N. The amino sugar N, onthe other hand, had a relatively high correlation with the mineralized N, but their partialregression coefficients were not significant in the regression equations. In contrast, thehydrolyzable unknown N had no such relations. Path analysis further indicated that the amino acid Nand ammonia N made great direct contributions to the mineralized N, but the contributions of theamino sugar N were very low. These strongly suggested that the mineralized N in the soils tested wasmainly from the hydrolyzable N, particularly the amino acid N and ammonia N which are the majorsources for its production.

Effect of Organic Manure Application on Physical Properties and Humus Characteristics of Paddy Soil

Long-term field experiment was established in 1978 on a coastal paddy soil to determine the effect of applicationof pig manure, rice straw and chemical N fertilizer on the physical property and humus characteristics of soil . Resultsshowed that the porosity, the microstructural coefficient, the reactivities of organic C and N, the ΔlogK value, thedegree of oxidation stability, the contents of O-alkyl C and alkyl C, and the ratio of aliphatic C to aromatic C ofhumic acid from soils received organic manure increased, whereas, the ratio of < 10 μm to >10 μm ofmicroaggregates, the humification degree of humus, the degree of organo-mineral complexation, the number-averagemolecular weight, the C/ H ratio. the contents of carboxyl and aromatic C of HAs in them decreased. These resultsindicated that the application of organic manure not only improved the physical property of the paddy soil but alsomade the HA more aliphatic in structure and younger in origin.

Significance of Transients in Soil Temperature Series

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of observation scale on the estimation of soil thermal properties.Transients are usually filtered out and ignored when classical Fourier approaches are used to deconstruct and model temperature time series.It was hypothesized that examination of such transients may be more important in identifying and quantifying short-term perturbations in internal soil heat transfer induced by agronomic disturbances. Data-logged temperatures were collected at 10-minute intervals from thermistor probes installed at 10 and 25 cm depths in isolated areas of two grassed plots.One plot(6T)had been treated twice with 6 Mg ha^(-1)composted turkey litter as received.The other plot(NPK)was fertilized at the same time with NPK fertilizer.Various methods were used to analyze the series to obtain apparent soil thermal diffusivity(D-value)at various time scales.Results supported the hypothesis that short-term differences in internal soil heat transfer between the 6T and NPK plots were more manifest and effectively captured by estimated D-values calculated from the monthly and daily partial series.The 6T plot had higher soil organic matter content than the NPK plot and had lower apparent soil thermal diffusivity.Diurnal soil temperature amplitudes, required to calculate the mean D-values from partial series,were more effectively obtained using a temperature change rate method.The more commonly used Fourier analysis tended to be effective for this purpose when the partial series reasonably presented well-defined diurnal patterns of increasing and decreasing temperatures.

Effects of Organic Fertilizer on Fruit Quality and Acidified Soil Chemical Properties in Yantai Orchard

[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the improving effect of organic fertilizer on acidified soil as well as their effects on fruit quality and quantity in Yantai orchard.[Method] Plot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of organic fertilizer on fruit yield and quality of Red Fuji and chemical properties of acidified soil.[Result] The apple yield in acidified soil applied with organic fertilizer all increased.Under the application of biological organic fertilizer,the apple yield was higher,and it was 8.92% higher than that in the control group.Under the mixed application of chemical fertilizer and biological organic fertilizer,the growth and development of apple trees were improved,and the total soluble solid(TSS) content,vitamin C(Vc) content and TSS-acid ratio in mature apples all increased.The application of organic fertilizer significantly reduced soil acidity.Compared with those in the control group,the soil p H value,organic matter content and alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen content under the application of biological organic fertilizer were increased by 8.33%,15.10% and 30.80%,respectively.[Conclusion] The application of biological organic fertilizer could improve the yield of apple in acidified soil.

Effects of Plant Types on Physico-chemical Properties of Reclaimed Mining Soil in Inner Mongolia,China

A field experiment was conducted in Jungar Banner,Inner Mongolia,China to study the effects of plant types on the physical structure and chemical properties of open-cast mining soils reclaimed for 15 years,and to analyze the triggering factors of the soil formation.Results indicate that plant types affect soil-forming process especially in the upper layer (0-20 cm),and the spatial structure of reclaimed plant is the main reason for variability of the soil-forming process.In the upper soil layer at the site reclaimed with mixed plants,the concentrations of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil organic carbon (SOC) are the highest,and they were significantly higher at the sites reclaimed with Leymus chinensis,Caragana sinica,which is mainly due to a large amount of litter fall and root exudation in herbages and shrubs.However,the concentrations of SOM and SOC in the soils at the reclaimed sites are quite low comparing with those in local primary soil,which indicates the importance of using organic amendments during the ecological restoration in the study area.

Removal of Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls from Municipal Wastewater by Reed Beds in A Constructed Wetland

Constructed wetlands containing reed beds are believed to facilitate the removal from water of various toxic substances, such as polychlorinated biphenyls （PCBs）, pesticides and herbicides, as these substances partition strongly to organic particulate matter. In order to evaluate this premise, the study investigated the organic matter, pesticides and PCBs content in wastewater and in soil within the reed beds, in their entry, middle, and exit-part areas in a full-scale operating subsurface-flow （SSW） constructed wetland （CW） in Poland. It is found that chlorinated pesticides such as 2,4＇dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane （2,4＇DDT）, 4,4＇dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene （4,4＇DDE）, hexachlorobenzene （HCB）, as well as PCBs in the wastewater. In the entry-part area of reed beds, nearly all of the pesticides and PCBs content in the wastewater had been removed by soil. The level of contamination by these compounds declined with increasing distance from the point of discharge of the wastewaters into the reed beds, as well as downwards through the soil profile from the surface into the deeper layers. Vertical distributions of pesticides and PCBs content were proportional to the organic carbon content in the soil. It is therefore concluded that reed beds act as a trap for pesticides and PCBs, and thus can provide a very effective mechanism for their removal from wastewater.

Improvement of Physical and Biological Quality of Soil in a Sugarcane Plantation through the Management of Organic Matter Input

Changes in soil quality of sugarcane plantation as a result of changes in land management can not be measured directly, but must be demonstrated by measuring the change in the properties of the ecosystem as an indicator. This research aimed to study the effect of the addition of various quality and quantity of organic matter on soil biology （earthworms） and physical quality （aggregate stability, macroporosity and infiltration rate）. There were i 5 treatment combinations tested. The first factor is the type of organic matter： （1） cattle manure （CM）, （2） filter cake （FC）, （3） sugarcane trash （ST）, （4） a mixture ofCM ＋ FC and （5） a mixture of CM ＋ ST. The second factor is the application dose of organic matter, which consists of three levels-5, l0 and 15 Mg/ha. The treatments were arranged in a factorial randomized block design with three replicates and one control treatment （without organic matter input）. The result of this research showed that the highest population density of earthworms was found in the treatment of ST （78 individuals/m2） and a mixture of CM ＋ ST （84 individuals/m2）. The type of organic matter with C/N ratio ranged from 15.5 to 34.7 and cellulose content in 33.3%-40.1% gave better growth of earthworm. The effect of increase in earthworm growth on soil physical improvement is more apparent in the treatment of mixture of low quality and high quality organic matter. The increase of earthworm density and biomass enhanced soil macroporosity （from r = 0.683 to r = 0.606） and infiltration rate （from r = 0.669 to r = 0.756）. The results of this study suggest a mixture of CM ＋ ST or ST alone as organic matters, which is recommended to improve soil physical and biological quality of sugarcane land, with the dose application ranged from 10 Mg/ha to 15 Mg/ha.

Seasonal changes in Porteresia coarctata (Tateoka) beds along a subtropical coast

Shoot density, standing crop （above- and below-ground biomass） and habitat of salt marsh grass Porteresia coarctata were investigated along the coast of Bakkhali estuary, Cox＇s Bazar, Bangladesh from January to December 2006. Shoot density of P. coarctata was influenced by season and was found to be higher （〉2 500 shoots/m2） in post-monsoon and minimal in monsoon season; plants were particularly active in vegetative propagation during pre-monsoon. Above-ground biomass was greater along the protected coast compared with the exposed one in this estuary. Below-ground biomass was higher （7.75-269.53 g DW/m2） than that above ground （2.20-114.75 g DW/m2）. Standing crops ofP. coarctata showed a negative relationship （R=-0.77; P〈0.05） with sedimentation rate, while seasonal activity influenced sedimentation. The recorded sedimentation rate was lower （6.09 mg/（cm2·d）） in pre-monsoon and highest （14.55 mg/（cm2·d）） in monsoon season. The mean value of pore water salinity was higher （34.25±65.05） during post-monsoon and lowest （18.0±3.71） in monsoon season. The soil was sandy clay in this P. coarctata bed; it consisted of 86% sand, 13% clay and 1% silt. Soil organic matter dropped during the monsoon season （0.78%-0.67%） and was highest （（2.17±1.42）%-（2.3±1.47）%） during post-monsoon, probably owing to accumulation of decomposed peat on the marsh surface. The mean pore water NH4-N concentration ranged from 2.444-1.65 to 3.33±1.82 μg/L, with a minimum air temperature of 22.09℃ in post-monsoon and a maximum of 31.16℃ in pre-monsoon. Variations of physico-chemical parameters in the soil, water, and climate governed biological parameters of P. coarctata in the Bakkhali estuary, and were comparable with estuarine environments elsewhere.

Influence of the Type of Fertilization on Nitrogen Balance of the Mountain Meadow

Among fertilizer ingredients nitrogen is the one noted for biggest losses because its susceptibility to volatilize to the atmosphere and to be leached away from the soil. These losses depend on the level and mode of fertilization. It appears that every year in Poland river waters transport to the Baltic Sea from the whole area about 180 thousand tons of the nutrient. The largest portion of this load is ascribed to agriculture. This study focused on the highland areas, which are commonly seen as a water supplying region owing to the fact that they cover about 35% of water need in the authors＇ country. Specificity of grassland fertilization in these lands is high contribution of natural fertilizers including dunging with fresh manure left by penned animals, particularly by sheep. Authors decided to assess the influence of dunging by folded sheep on meadow nitrogen balance and on its concentration in percolating water. It was demonstrated that a nitrogen balance was highly negative for each object, so the grassland plants supplied their needs in large part with nitrogen from mineralization of soil organic matter. Relatively high loads of nitrogen leached out of the folded objects indicate that nitrogen from mineral fertilizers is better utilized by grassland herbage and thus is much safer for soil and water environment.
