滨海沙滩造林种果后土壤理化性质的变化

在滨海沙滩营造木麻黄防护林，林带老化后进行更新，部分林地改种潮州柑或芒果而成为果园，并于其间套种农作物或牧卓；结果表明，人为耕作活动对土壤的热化起到了明显的促进作用．在造林种果的同时，大量肥料的施入及优质客土改良了土壤，使＞１．０ｍｍ的砂粒比例明显减少，＜０．０１ｍｍ的粉粘粒及土壤养分含量明显增加，其中沙草地、防护林及果园，０—４０ｃｍ土壤粉粘粒含量分别为５６．４ｇ／ｋｇ、５９．６ｇ／ｋｇ和１０８．９ｇ／ｋｇ，土壤有机质为０．７１ｇ／ｋｇ、２．０２ｇ／ｋｇ和４．１１ｇ／ｋｇ；土壤氮素含量随有机质提高而提高，柑园速效磷和钾含量是沙草地的３７倍和３．５倍，然而防护林的种植对土壤速效磷和钾的影响却不明显；由于雨水淋洗，土壤盐分减少；又由于酸性化学肥料的大量施入，土壤ｐＨ值由８．３下降为５．３．果园的营建，明显改善了土壤的肥力状况及其保水保肥性能，提高了沙滩地的利用价值及生态经济效益．

南方酸性土壤B层对SO_4~（2－）的吸附特性及其影响因素

研究了砖红壤、赤红壤、红壤、黄壤等土壤的Ｂ层对ＳＯ的吸附特点，并分析其与有关土壤性质的关系。这些土壤的可浸提态ＳＯ含量在０．１ｇ／ｋｇ至０．５ｇ／ｋｇ间，对外加ＳＯ的吸附潜力仅为０．０５ｇ／ｋｇ至０．１ｇ／ｋｇ．用含２５ｍｇ／Ｌ的ＳＯ的溶液持续通过土壤时，它们对ＳＯ的吸附表现为对数曲线方程。降低处理液的ｐＨ值可大大减少土壤对ＳＯ的吸附量。土壤经草酸铵处理后，几乎丧失ＳＯ吸附能力．统计表明，土壤中可浸提态ＳＯ含量及ＳＯ吸附容量与土壤的＜２μｍ粘粘含量、Ｆｅｄ含量、速效磷含量等有显著的相关关系。

Modelling dynamics of soil organic matter under different historical land-use management techniques in European Russia

We have analyzed an influence of the traditional agricultural system techniques on the soil organic matter dynamics using the model of carbon and nitrogen cycling in forest ecosystems EFIMOD linked with the model of SOM dynamics ROMUL. Forest stands on the loamy soddy-podzolic soils (Alfisoils) located in the Central European Russia have been taken for the case study. The following land-use management scenarios were simulated: (a) slash-and-burn system with 3 years for crops and 120, 60 and 25 years for forest; (b) three-field crop rotation system with organic fertilization (dung) every 3 and 9 years and the same rotation without fertilization; and (c) short-term field-forest shifting system with 10 years for crops and 10 and 25 years for forest. Analysis of the results showed that the frequency of agricultural use in mixed field-forest land-use systems was crucial for soil organic matter dynamics. Under the short interval between agriculture, the stocks of all soil organic matter pools decreased. Under all scenarios except the three-field crop rotation with fertilization and the slash-and-burn system with 120 years for forest, a strong reduction of soil organic matter occurred after 30-130 years of the agricultural impacts. The highest reduction rates were modelled under the short-term field-forest shifting system and three-field rotation without fertilization. Fertilization led to stabilization of soil organic matter pools and gave a possibility for a long time stable agricultural use.

施硒肥方式对强筋小麦产量、硒累积分配及籽粒营养品质的影响

采用二因素裂区设计,设置8个处理,研究有机富硒肥施硒量与施硒方式对强筋小麦生长、产量、硒在小麦不同器官中富集状况以及籽粒营养品质的影响.结果显示:与不施有机富硒肥比较,播种前土施有机富硒肥使强筋小麦总生物量、籽粒产量、各器官(根、茎+叶、颖壳+穗轴、籽粒)干物质量分别提高1.0%-14.7%、2.4%-42.4%、1.9%-21.9%、1.5%%-10.6%、1.8%-19.5%和1.3%-18.2%,且在同一土施处理下,叶面喷施硒肥对小麦总生物量、籽粒产量和各器官干物质量无显著影响.不论采用土施、叶面喷施或土施+叶面喷施,小麦地上部硒含量占植株总硒含量的比例最大,而对于根部硒含量占植株总硒含量的比例则表现为土施>土施+叶面喷硒>喷施.此外,施有机富硒肥明显改善了强筋小麦籽粒蛋白质、总淀粉、直链淀粉、支链淀粉、可溶性糖和蔗糖等营养品质含量(P <0.05),提高幅度分别为0.2%-0.4%、2.9%-10.1%、1.6%-5.1%、1.3%-5.0%、2.1%-7.0%和1.2%-3.5%,且硒肥用量相同的条件下,营养品质含量均表现为土施+叶面喷硒处理高于单一土施硒肥处理,以S30+F(土壤基施30 g/hm²+叶面喷施15 g/hm²)处理达到最高值.因此,综合考虑产量、籽粒硒积累量以及品质等因素,实际生产中建议选用施肥量45 g/hm²(土壤基施30 g/hm²+叶面喷施15g/hm²)较为合适;土施+叶面喷施有机富硒肥可促进强筋小麦生长,提高籽粒产量、硒积累量以及营养品质;结果可为有机富硒肥调控下小麦富硒栽培提供理论参考.(图2表6参46)

Four-decade responses of soil trace elements to an aggrading old-field forest: B, Mn, Zn, Cu, and Fe

In the ancient and acidic Ultisol soils of the Southern Piedmont, USA, we studied changes in trace element biogeochemistry over four decades, a period during which formerly cultivated cotton fields were planted with pine seedlings that grew into mature forest stands. In 16 permanent plots, we estimated 40-year accumulations of trace elements in forest biomass and O horizons (between 1957 and 1997), and changes in bioavailable soil fractions indexed by extractions of 0.05 mol/L HCl and 0.2 mol/L acid ammonium oxalate (AAO). Element accumulations in 40-year tree biomass plus O horizons totaled 0.9, 2.9, 4.8, 49.6, and 501.3 kg/ha for Cu, B, Zn, Mn, and Fe, respectively. In response to this forest development, samples of the upper 0.6-m of mineral soil archived in 1962 and 1997 followed one of three patterns. (1) Extractable B and Mn were significantly depleted, by -4.1 and -57.7 kg/ha with AAO, depletions comparable to accumulations in biomass plus O horizons, 2.9 and 49.6 kg/ha, respectively. Tree uptake of B and Mn from mineral soil greatly outpaced resupplies from atmospheric deposition, mineral weathering, and deep-root uptake. (2) Extractable Zn and Cu changed little during forest growth, indicating that nutrient resupplies kept pace with accumulations by the aggrading forest. (3) Oxalate-extractable Fe increased substantially during forest growth, by 275.8 kg/ha, about 10-fold more than accumulations in tree biomass (28.7 kg/ha). The large increases in AAO-extractable Fe in surficial 0.35-m mineral soils were accompanied by substantial accretions of Fe in the forest's O horizon, by 473 kg/ha, amounts that dwarfed inputs via litterfall and canopy throughfall, indicating that forest Fe cycling is qualitatively different from that of other macro- and micronutrients. Bioturbation of surficial forest soil layers cannot account for these fractions and transformations of Fe, and we hypothesize that the secondary forest's large inputs of organic additions over four decades has fundamentally altered soil Fe oxides, potentially altering the bioavailability and retention of macro- and micronutrients, contaminants, and organic matter itself. The wide range of responses among the ecosystem's trace elements illustrates the great dynamics of the soil system over time scales of decades.     

宁夏贺兰山自然保护区油松林碳储量及分布格局

森林保护对减缓全球变暖有着重要意义。不同森林生态系统由于其所处地理位置不同,气候、土壤、物种构成差异很大,因此其碳汇功能也各不相同,油松是中国北方重要的森林类型之一,为了摸清贺兰山自然保护区森林碳储量,本文通过实地调查取样和室内实验测定的方法,于2011—2012年期间对宁夏贺兰山自然保护区油松林碳储量进行了取样测定,估算了其碳储量。结果表明：油松单株平均含碳率为51．91％,高于国内其他地区的阔叶树种及灌木的含碳率;经估算贺兰山油松林总有机碳储量为13．39kg.m^-2,其中立木碳储量为2．98kg．m^-2,地被层有机碳碳储量为0．86kg·m^-2,土壤层有机碳储量为9．55kg．m^-2,土壤碳储量占林分碳储量的70％以上,是油松林有机碳的主要储存库。总体来看,针叶林的固碳能力要高于阔叶林,在营造固碳林时应优先考虑针叶树种。从分布格局来看,东经105．80°～106．15°,北纬38．36°～39．00°,海拔2000～2400m的区域是油松林的主要分布区域,也是贺兰山森林有机碳的主要分布区,该区域是保护区碳平衡研究和碳汇管理应该关注的重点区域。     

3 forest simulation model

The 3 forest simulation model is a process model of tree growth, carbon and nitrogen dynamics in a single-species, even-aged forest stand. It is based on the model. Major changes include the computation of sun angle and radiation as a function of latitude and day of the year, the closed-form integration of canopy production as a function of day and hour, the introduction of tree number, height, and diameter as separate state variables, and different growth strategies, mortalities, and resulting self-thinning as function of crowding competition.The tree/soil system is described by a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the state variables: tree number, base diameter, tree height, wood biomass, nitrogen in wood, leaf mass, fine root mass, fruit biomass, assimilate, carbon and nitrogen in litter, carbon and nitrogen in soil organic matter, and plant-available nitrogen. The model includes explicit formulations of all relevant ecophysiological processes such as: computation of radiation as a function of seasonal time, daytime and cloudiness, light attenuation in the canopy, and canopy photosynthesis as function of latitude, seasonal time, and daytime, respiration of all parts, assimilate allocation, increment formation, nitrogen fixation, mineralization, humification and leaching, forest management (thinning, felling, litter removal, fertilization etc.), temperature effects on respiration and decomposition, and environmental effects (pollution damage to photosynthesis, leaves, and fine roots). Only ecophysiological parameters which can be either directly measured or estimated with reasonable certainty are used. 3 is a generic process model which requires species- and site-specific parametrization. It can be applied to deciduous and coniferous forests under tropical, as well as temperate or boreal conditions.The paper presents a full documentation of the mathematical model as well as representative simulation results for spruce and acacia.
