Contrasting responses of seed yield to elevated carbon dioxide under field conditions within Phaseolus vulgaris

The rising concentration of carbon dioxide [CO₂] in the atmosphere represents an increase in a growth-limiting resource for C₃ crop species. Identification of lines or characteristics of lines which have superior yield at elevated [CO₂] could aid in adaptation to this global change. While intraspecific variation in responses to elevated [CO₂] has been found in several species, intraspecific differences in crop yield responses to elevated [CO₂] under field conditions have seldom been documented. In this 4-year study, the responses of photosynthesis, growth, pod number, seed number and size, and seed yield to the elevation of [CO₂] to 180 μmol mol⁻¹ above the current ambient concentration were examined in four varieties of Phaseolus vulgaris in the field, using open-top chambers. There was a significant variety by [CO₂] interaction for seed yield, with seed yield at elevated [CO₂] ranging from 0.89 to 1.39 times that at ambient [CO₂] (mean 1.17×) in the different varieties, when averaged over 4 years. The highest yielding variety at elevated [CO₂] was not the highest yielding variety at ambient [CO₂]. The varieties with the largest and smallest yield responses both had an indeterminate growth habit. Down-regulation of photosynthesis at elevated [CO₂] only occurred in the two indeterminate varieties, and there was no significant correlation between the response of single leaf photosynthetic rate and the response of seed yield to elevated [CO₂] among varieties, nor between the responses of stem mass and seed yield. The change in the number of pods at elevated [CO₂] was the primary determinant of the response of seed yield. These results indicate that significant variation in the response of seed yield to elevated [CO₂] under field conditions does exist among varieties of P. vulgaris, and that variation in the response of pod and seed number may be more important than variation in photosynthetic response.     

大气CO2摩尔分数升高对高、低应答水稻稻田N2O排放的影响

依托稻田大气CO₂摩尔分数（x［CO₂］）升高平台FACE （free-air CO₂ enrichment）,采用静态透明箱-气相色谱法研究x［CO₂］升高（正常x［CO₂］+200 μmol·mol^-1）对高、低应答水稻（产量对x［CO₂］升高的响应分别为>30%和10%~15%）稻田N₂O排放的影响.本试验设置4个处理：A-W （正常x［CO₂］+低应答水稻）、F-W （x［CO₂］升高+低应答水稻）、A-S （正常x［CO₂］+高应答水稻）和F-S （x［CO₂］升高+高应答水稻）.结果表明,对比正常x［CO₂］处理（A-S和A-W）,x［CO₂］升高条件下高、低应答水稻（F-S和F-W）稻田N₂O排放分别降低52.54%（P<0.05）和38.40%（P<0.05）,水稻产量分别增加22.96%（P<0.05）和12.11%（P>0.05）,稻田N₂O排放强度分别降低61.68%（P<0.05）和45.13%（P<0.05）.另外,高、低应答水稻稻田N₂O排放与稻田土壤NH₄⁺-N含量呈显著相关关系,而与NO₂^--N含量无显著相关.x［CO₂］升高条件下,土壤温度是影响高应答水稻稻田N₂O排放的重要因素.综合考虑,未来x［CO₂］升高条件下,高应答水稻品种的"增产减排"效果最佳.     

Effects of elevated CO2 concentration and nitrogen supply on biomass and active carbon of freshwater marsh after two growing seasons in Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China

An experiments were carried out with treatments differing in nitrogen supply (0, 5 and 15 g N/m²) and CO₂ levels (350 and 700 μmol/mol) using OTC (open top chamber) equipment to investigate the biomass of Calamagrostis angustifolia and soil active carbon contents after two years. The results showed that elevated CO₂ concentration increased the biomass of C. angustifolia and the magnitude of response varied with each growth period. Elevated CO₂ concentration has increased aboveground biomass by 16.7% and 17.6% during the jointing and heading periods and only 3.5% and 9.4% during dough and maturity periods. The increases in belowground biomass due to CO₂ elevation was 26.5%, 34.0% and 28.7% during the heading, dough and maturity periods, respectively. The responses of biomass to enhanced CO₂ concentrations are differed in N levels. Both the increase of aboveground biomass and belowground biomass were greater under high level of N supply (15 g N/m²). Elevated CO₂ concentration also increased the allocation of biomass and carbon in root. Under elevated CO₂ concentration, the average values of active carbon tended to increase. The increases of soil active soil contents followed the sequence of microbial biomass carbon (10.6%) > dissolved organic carbon (7.5%) > labile oxidable carbon (6.6%) > carbohydrate carbon (4.1%). Stepwise regressions indicated there were significant correlations between the soil active carbon contents and plant biomass. Particularly, microbial biomass carbon, labile oxidable carbon and carbohydrate carbon were found to be correlated with belowground biomass, while dissolved organic carbon has correlation with aboveground biomass. Therefore, increased biomass was regarded as the main driving force for the increase in soil active organic carbon under elevated CO₂ concentration.     

外源氮、硫添加对闽江河口湿地CH4、CO2排放的短期影响

于2015年4月在闽江河口鳝鱼滩湿地原位开展氮、硫添加实验,研究外源氮、硫添加对河口湿地CH_4、CO_2排放通量的短期影响,并同步观测相关环境因子.结果表明,NH_4Cl(NH)和NH_4NO_3+K_2SO_4(NS)添加显著促进了河口湿地CH_4平均排放通量(P0.01),NS耦合添加显著促进了湿地CO_2平均排放通量(P0.05);KNO_3(NO)和K_2SO_4(S)处理在实验期间对CH_4、CO_2排放通量表现为促进与抑制作用的交互影响,并且影响均不显著(P0.05).与对照(CK)相比,NH和NS添加使CH_4平均排放通量分别提高了(286.36%、122.73%),使CO_2平均排放通量分别提高了(39.92%、34.24%).氮、硫添加对河口潮滩湿地CH_4、CO_2排放的影响具有明显的时间变异性,改变了短叶茳芏湿地生长季CH_4排放时间变化规律,但未改变CO_2排放时间规律.相关分析显示,NH和NS添加处理下河口湿地土壤CH_4、CO_2排放通量主要受土温、EC、DOC以及NH+4-N的控制(P0.05或P0.01),NO和S处理主要受土温、EC、pH、DOC、NO_3~--N的控制(P0.05或P0.01),CK处理则主要受土温的影响(P0.01).温度、盐度、氮有效性是影响河口湿地CO_2、CH_4排放的主要因素.     

Absorption characteristics of new solvent based on a blend of AMP and 1,8-diamino-p-menthane for CO2 absorption

Aqueous 1,8-diamino-p-menthane (KIER-C3) and commercially available amine solutions were tested for CO₂ absorption. A 2-amino- 2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) solution with an addition of KIER-C3 showed 9.3% and 31.6% higher absorption rate for CO₂ than the AMP solution with an addition of monoethanolamine (MEA) and ammonia (NH₃), respectively. The reaction rate constant for CO₂ absorption by the AMP/KIER-C3 solution was determined by the following equation: k_2,AMP/C3 = 7.702×10⁶ exp (-2248.03/T). A CO₂ loading ratio of the AMP/KIER-C3 solution was also 2 and 3.4-times higher than that of the AMP/NH3 solution and the AMP/MEA solution, respectively. Based on the experimental results, KIER-C3 may be used as an excellent additive to increase CO₂ absorption capability of AMP.     

土壤硝化和反硝化微生物群落及活性对大气CO2浓度和温度升高的响应

硝化和反硝化微生物参与土壤氮循环转化过程,大气CO_2浓度和温度升高可能会影响它们的群落结构和活性.本试验依托稻-麦轮作农田系统气候变化平台研究大气CO_2浓度单独升高(CE)、升温(WA)以及两者同时升高(CW)对麦田土壤硝化和反硝化微生物基因丰度、群落结构和活性的影响.结果表明,在小麦分蘖期,大气CO_2浓度和温度升高对氨氧化细菌(AOB)和反硝化细菌丰度没有影响,而在抽穗和成熟期,CO_2浓度单独升高显著提高了氨氧化古菌(AOA)和反硝化细菌丰度,升温处理对其没有显著影响.通过对T-RFLP数据分析发现,大气CO_2浓度和温度升高对土壤AOA、AOB和反硝化细菌群落结构没有显著影响,但是在一定程度上改变了AOA和反硝化细菌多样性.另外,CO_2浓度单独升高处理显著提高了成熟期的土壤硝化速率,不同气候变化处理对反硝化速率没有显著影响.研究表明大气CO_2浓度和温度升高对不同生育期的微生物群落影响存在差异,而且功能微生物对不同气候变化因子处理的响应也各不相同.     

Eutectic mixture promoted CO2 sorption on MgO-TiO2 composite at elevated temperature

The development of carbon dioxide(CO_2) sorbents that can operate at elevated temperatures is significant for the advancement of pre-combustion capture technologies.Recently, promoter-based systems composed of alkali/alkaline earth metal nitrates and/or carbonates have been considered as next-generation solid sorbents due to their improved CO_2 uptake and kinetics. However, obtaining stable MgO sorbents against temperature swing regeneration still remained challenging. Herein, we report MgO-TiO_2 solid sorbents promoted by eutectic mixture(KNO_3 and LiNO_3) for elevated temperature CO_2 sorption. The developed sorbents show improved CO_2 sorption capacity, which may be attributed to the alternative CO_2 sorption pathway provided by the ionization of highly dispersed MgO in the eutectic mixture. The MgO-TiO_2 framework was also shown to assist in retaining the MgO configuration by constraining its interaction with CO_2. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that constructing composite structures is essential to improve the CO_2 sorption characteristics,mainly recyclability, at elevated temperatures. The developed promoter integrated sorbents showed exceptionally high CO_2 sorption capacity of 30 wt.% at an elevated temperature(300°C) with pronounced stability under temperature swing operation.     

林地转型耕地对东北丘陵区白浆土cbbL细菌群落丰度和结构的影响

土壤固碳细菌的CO_2同化作用能够将CO_2转化成有机质,是土壤碳循环的重要过程,然而对土地利用方式转变下土壤固碳细菌群落丰度和结构变化的了解却非常有限.在此,采用q PCR和高通量测序技术研究了东北丘陵区林地转型耕地后白浆土cbb L细菌群落丰度和结构变化,并探讨了土壤理化因子在群落丰度和结构变化中的作用.结果表明,耕地土壤细菌的cbb L基因丰度为2. 57×108copies·g~(-1),显著低于林地土壤的7. 30×108copies·g~(-1),但林地与耕地间cbb L/16S r RNA基因拷贝数比无显著差异.与林地相比,耕地土壤cbb L细菌群落的Shannon和Chao1指数显著降低,而Simpson指数显著升高.系统发育树分析和主坐标分析(principal co-ordinates analysis,PCo A)均表明林地转型耕地改变了土壤cbb L细菌群落组成.Pearson相关分析表明,cbb L基因丰度和Shannon指数均与pH极显著正相关,而与AP和NO_3-显著负相关,证明了施肥导致的土壤pH和速效养分改变是造成土壤cbb L细菌群落丰度和多样性变化的主要原因.典范对应分析(canonical correspondence analysis,CCA)显示,pH、NO_3-、AP和NH_4+与土壤cbb L细菌群落结构变化显著相关.综上所述,了解土壤cbb L细菌群落对土地利用方式转变的响应及其微生物学机制将为加强我国东北丘陵区白浆土的可持续利用及生态环境重建提供新的见解.

Elevated CO2 facilitates C and N accumulation in a rice paddy ecosystem

Elevated CO₂ can stimulate wetland carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) exports through gaseous and dissolved pathways, however, the consequent influences on the C and N pools are still not fully known. Therefore, we set up a free-air CO₂ enrichment experiment in a paddy field in Eastern China. After five year fumigation, we studied C and N in the plant–water–soil system. The results showed: (1) elevated CO₂ stimulated rice aboveground biomass and N accumulations by 19.1% and 12.5%, respectively. (2) Elevated CO₂ significantly increased paddy soil TOC and TN contents by 12.5% and 15.5%, respectively in the 0–15 cm layer, and 22.7% and 26.0% in the 15–30 cm soil layer. (3) Averaged across the rice growing period, elevated CO₂ greatly increased TOC and TN contents in the surface water by 7.6% and 11.4%, respectively. (4) The TOC/TN ratio and natural δ¹⁵N value in the surface soil showed a decreasing trend under elevated CO₂. The above results indicate that elevated CO₂ can benefit C and N accumulation in paddy fields. Given the similarity between the paddies and natural wetlands, our results also suggest a great potential for long-term C and N accumulation in natural wetlands under future climate patterns.     

Heat and carbon dioxide generated by honeybees jointly act to kill hornets

We have found that giant hornets (Vespa mandarinia japonica) are killed in less than 10 min when they are trapped in a bee ball created by the Japanese honeybees Apis cerana japonica, but their death cannot be solely accounted for by the elevated temperature in the bee ball. In controlled experiments, hornets can survive for 10 min at the temperature up to 47°C, whereas the temperature inside the bee balls does not rise higher than 45.9°C. We have found here that the CO₂ concentration inside the bee ball also reaches a maximum (3.6 ± 0.2%) in the initial 0–5 min phase after bee ball formation. The lethal temperature of the hornet (45–46°C) under conditions of CO₂ concentration (3.7 ± 0.44%) produced using human expiratory air is almost the same as that in the bee ball. The lethal temperature of the honeybee is 50–51°C under the same air conditions. We concluded that CO₂ produced inside the bee ball by honeybees is a major factor together with the temperature involved in defense against giant hornets.     

大气中CO2体积分数升高对污染土壤中Cu、Cd形态分布及其生物活性的影响

采用OTC-1型开顶式培养箱,模拟研究了CO2体积分数升高对2种小麦的生长以及根际、非根际中Cu和Cd形态分布的影响.结果表明,CO2体积分数的升高显著提高了小麦地上部和地下部生物量,降低了小麦根际和非根际的pH值.临麦2号和宁麦8号小麦地上部干重分别增加了36.9%和25.2%,地下部干重则分别增加了55.1%和59.7%.此外,CO2体积分数升高对不同重金属形态分布的影响随小麦品种和重金属种类的不同而异.在高CO2体积分数条件下,可交换态(F1)Cu和Cd含量显著提高,其中临麦2号根际土壤可交换态Cu和Cd含量分别较对照增加10.6%和29.6%,宁麦8号根际土壤可交换态Cu和Cd分别较对照增加11.0%和20.3%;碳酸盐结合态(F2)Cu和Cd均有所降低,其中宁麦8号和临麦2号根际Cu降低均达极显著(分别降低73.6%和50.0%);铁锰氧化物结合态(F3),有机结合态(F4)和残渣态(F5)Cu和Cd在CO2体积分数升高情况下变化较小.同时CO2体积分数升高还显著增加了2种小麦地上部和地下部铜累积量,增加了临麦2号地上部和地下部镉累积量和宁麦8号地上部镉累积量,但对宁麦8号地下部镉累积量无显著影响.     

Acute effects of chlorpyryphos-ethyl and secondary treated e uents on acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase activities in Carcinus maenas

The acute effects of commercial formulation of chlorpyrifos-ethyl (Dursbanr®) and the secondary treated industrial/urban effluent (STIUE) exposure on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activities in hepatopancreas and gills of Mediterranean crab Carcinus maenas were investigated. After 2 d of exposure to chlorpyriphos-ethyl, the AChE activity was inhibited in both organs at concentrations of 3.12 and 7.82 μ/L, whereas the BuChE was inhibited only at higher concentration 7.82 μ/L of commercial preparation Dursbanr®. The exposure of crabs to Dursbanr® (3.12 μ/L) showed a significant decrement of AChE activity at 24 and 48 h, whereas the BuChE was inhibited only after 24 h and no inhibition for both enzymes was observed after 72 h. Moreover, a significant repression of AChE activity was observed in both organs of C. maenas exposed to 5% of STIUE. Our experiments indicated that the measurement of AChE activity in gills and hepatopancreas of C. maenas would be useful biomarker of organophosphorous (OP) and of neurotoxic effects of STIUE in Tunisia.     

Yield formation of CO2-enriched inter-subspecific hybrid rice cultivar Liangyoupeijiu under fully open-air field condition in a warm sub-tropical climate

Hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars play an important role in rice production due to its heterosis, resistance to environmental stress and high yield potential. However, no attention has been given to its yield responses to rising atmospheric CO₂ concentration ([CO₂]). To address this need, we conducted a Free Air CO₂ Enrichment (FACE) experiment at Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China, in 2004–2006. A two-line inter-subspecific hybrid rice variety Liangyoupeijiu, recently bred in China, was grown at ambient or elevated (c. 570 μmol mol^?1) [CO₂] under two levels of nitrogen (N) application (12.5 and 25 g N m^?2). Elevated [CO₂] slightly accelerated phenological development (1–2 days), and substantially enhanced grain yield (+30%). The magnitude of yield response to [CO₂] was independent of N fertilization, but greatly varied among years. On average, elevated [CO₂] increased panicle number per unit land area by 8%, due to an increase in maximum tiller number under FACE, while productive tiller ratio remained unaffected. Spikelet number per panicle showed an average increase of 10% due to elevated [CO₂], which was also supported by increased plant height and dry weight per stem. Meanwhile, Elevated [CO₂] caused a significant enhancement in both filled spikelet percentage (+5%) and individual grain mass (+4%). Compared with previous rice FACE studies, this hybrid cultivar appears to profit much more from elevated [CO₂] than inbred japonica cultivars (c. +13%), not only due to its stronger sink generation, but also enhanced capacity to utilize the carbon sources in a high [CO₂] environment. As sufficient intraspecific variation in yield response exists under field conditions, there is a pressing need to identify genotypes which would produce maximum grain yield under projected future [CO₂] levels.     

Combined effects of elevated temperature and CO2 concentration on Cd and Zn accumulation dynamics in Triticum aestivum L.

A simulated climate warming experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of elevated temperature and CO_2 concentration on the bioaccumulation,translocation and subcellular distributions of Cd and Zn in wheat seedlings(Triticum aestivum L.cv.Xihan 1.) at Dingxi,Gansu Province,China.The objective was to find evidence that global climate change is affecting the bioaccumulation of Cd and Zn in T.aestivum L.cv.Xihan 1.The results showed that compared to control A,elevated temperature and CO_2 increased Cd bioaccumulation in the shoots by 1.4–2.5 times,and increased that in the roots by 1.2–1.5times,but decreased Zn levels in wheat shoots by 1.4–2.0 times,while decreased that in the roots by 1.6–1.9 times.Moreover,temperature and CO_2 concentration increase also led to increased Cd concentration,and decreased Zn concentration in subcellular compartments of wheat seedlings.The largest Cd concentration increase(174.4%) was observed in the cell wall and debris fractions of shoots after they were subjected to the highest CO_2 and temperature treatment(TC3).The largest Zn concentration decrease(53.1%) was observed in the soluble(F3) fractions of shoots after they were subjected to the medium CO_2 and temperature treatment(TC2).The temperature and CO_2 increase had no significant effect on the proportional distribution of Cd and Zn in the subcellular fractions.The root-to-shoot translocation of Cd increased with the increasing temperature and CO_2 concentration.However,the Zn distributions only fluctuated within a small range.     

1,2,4-三氯苯矿化菌的鉴定与功能分析

采用同位素示踪法从氯苯污染土壤中筛选到能高效降解1,2,4-三氯苯(1,2,4-TCB)为CO₂的细菌E3和F2,根据其表型特征、16S rDNA序列和荧光原位杂交(FISH)分析,鉴定E3和F2为博德特氏菌（Bordetella sp.）.E3和F2的16S rDNA序列相似性为100%;它们与菌株Bordetella sp. QJ2-5同源性最高,与Bordetella petrii(GDH030510)最接近,同源性分别为100%和99.4%.E3和F2能在含1,2,4-TCB的无机盐培养基中彻底降解1,2,4-TCB生成CO₂,30 d降解率达到90%以上,其中58%和46%矿化为CO₂,同时形成一定量的微生物生物量.     

常压和真空下CS2的光氧化反应

利用原位FTIR、XPS 和GC-MS等技术手段,研究了常温紫外光辐照下常压及真空状态中,CS₂的光氧化反应.结果表明,常压及真空状态下CS₂光氧化反应的产物均为COS、SO₂、CO 和 CO₂,反应均遵循表观一级反应动力学规律,但中间产物COS的浓度变化有较大的差异.常压下COS浓度先迅速增大,然后减少; 真空条件下COS浓度增加到常压下COS浓度的 1/10后基本持平,然后逐渐减小,整个变化趋势缓慢; 2种条件下CS₂的半衰期分别为31.6 s和39.8 s, 中间产物COS降解 98% 所需时间分别为 55 min和22 min.在相同的光照条件下,O₂浓度的增加有助于CS₂光氧化反应的进行.以CS₂光氧化中间产物COS为初始物的光氧化反应主要产物为CO₂和SO₂,后者可以进一步被氧化为SO2-4.适量增加O₂的浓度可以促进COS光氧化反应的进行,但O₂的浓度增加至一定程度后反应速率基本保持恒定.以上结论对揭示CS₂和COS的源和汇以及全球S物质循环具有重要价值.     

满江红对不同形态铀的吸附行为

首先采用Visual MINTEQ 3.1软件模拟了不同pH及不同浓度的碳酸盐或磷酸盐溶液中不同形态铀所占的比例;随后根据模拟结果,配制了5种分别含有UO_2~(2+)、(UO_2)_3(OH)_5~+、UO_2(OH)_3~-、UO_2(CO_3)_3~(4-)和UO_2PO_4~-的铀溶液;最后通过水培实验研究了满江红对这5种不同形态铀的吸附行为.结果表明,这5种不同形态铀对满江红的生长抑制率有显著差异,UO_2~(2+)、(UO_2)_3(OH)_5~+、UO_2(OH)_3~-及UO_2(CO_3)_3~(4-)均能抑制满江红的生长,其中,UO_2~(2+)对满江红的生长抑制率最高,而UO_2PO_4~-则可以促进满江红的生长,但满江红对UO_2~(2+)和(UO_2)_3(OH)_5~+的吸附效率相对较高.当溶液中铀的浓度为2 mg·L~(-1)时,UO_2~(2+)对满江红的富集量和富集系数分别达到了3831 mg·kg~(-1)和1916,(UO_2)_3(OH)_5~+对满江红的富集量和富集系数分别达到了3057 mg·kg~(-1)和1529.可见,要提高满江红对水中铀的去除率和富集量,应将溶液中铀的形态调控为以UO_2~(2+)或(UO_2)_3(OH)_5~+为主,同时要降低溶液中碳酸盐和磷酸盐的含量.     

Effect of long-term fertilization on C mineralization and production of CH4 and CO2 under anaerobic incubation from bulk samples and particle size fractions of a typical paddy soil

Impacts of nutrient management on C mineralization and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emission from soils have been of much concern in global change. Using laboratory incubation, the production of CH₄ and CO₂ were studied from both bulk samples and the particle size fractions (PSF) of topsoil from a paddy under a long-term different fertilization trial (including non (NF), chemical without (CF) and with manure (CFM) fertilization, respectively) in the Tai Lake Region, China. Four PSFs (2000–200, 200–20, 20–2, <2 μm) were separated from undisturbed samples collected after rice harvest by a low-energy ultrasonic dispersion procedure. Both the bulk samples and PSFs were incubated under submerged condition for 72 days. The concentration of CH₄ and CO₂ evolved during incubation were determined by gas chromatography. C mineralization rates ranged from 0.13 to 0.52 mg C g⁻¹ C day⁻¹, with different fertilizations and size of the PSFs, and were not correlated with C/N ratio. While CO₂ production predominated over CH₄ from C mineralization from both bulk samples and the size fractions, CH₄ production played a predominant role in the total global warming potential (GWP) under all treatments. C mineralization of bulk soil was significantly higher under CF than under CFM and NF. CH₄ production, however, was 3 times as under CFM and 27 times as under NF, indicating a tremendous effect of chemical fertilization alone on the total GWP. CO₂ production from the PSFs differed from CH₄ under a single treatment, which was notably from the coarse PSFs larger than 200 μm. Higher C mineralization and CH₄ production with a higher metabolic quotient under CF implicated a vulnerability of soil functioning of GHGs mitigation in the paddy receiving chemical fertilizers only. Thus, rational organic amendments should be undertaken for mitigating the climate change.     

土壤质地对自养固碳微生物及其同化碳的影响

自养微生物可同化大气中的CO2并将其转化为土壤有机碳,对提高农田土壤的碳吸收和碳储存有重要意义,然而土壤质地对自养固碳微生物功能种群及其同化碳的影响机制还不清楚.本研究选取亚热带地区同一母质发育而成的两种质地水稻土壤(壤质黏土和砂质黏壤土),通过14C-CO2连续标记技术结合室内模拟培养实验,探讨土壤质地对自养微生物同化碳(14C-SOC)、自养微生物截留碳(14C-MBC)和自养微生物可溶性碳(14C-DOC)的影响.以固碳功能基因(cbb L基因)作为指示基因,结合PCR和克隆测序技术,分析不同质地土壤自养固碳微生物群落结构和多样性的差异.结果表明,壤质黏土14C-SOC、14C-MBC和14C-DOC平均含量分别为133.81、40.16和8.10 mg·kg-1,均显著高于砂质黏壤土14C-SOC(104.95 mg·kg-1)、14C-MBC(33.26 mg·kg-1)和14C-DOC(4.18 mg·kg-1)平均含量(P0.05),说明土壤质地显著影响了土壤自养微生物碳同化量以及自养微生物同化碳在土壤中的转化.稀疏曲线、细菌cbb L基因文库覆盖度以及多样性指数分析结果显示壤质黏土固碳细菌群落多样性高于砂质黏壤土.系统发育分析表明,壤质黏土细菌cbb L基因序列与Rhodoblastus acidophilus、Blastochloris viridis、Thauera humireducens、Mehylibium sp.、Variovorax sp.等具有一定的同源性,而砂质黏壤土cbb L基因序列主要与根瘤菌和放线菌同源.可见,土壤质地对自养固碳微生物群落结构和多样性产生了深刻的影响,壤质黏土中较高的黏粒含量、土壤养分含量和阳离子交换量可能有利于维持更高的自养固碳微生物多样性和活性,从而导致不同质地土壤自养微生物碳同化量及其转化存在显著差异.
