Effect of biosurfactant on the sorption of phenanthrene onto original and H2O2-treated soils

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of biosurfactant on the sorption of phenanthrene (PHE) onto the original or H2O2-treated black loamy soil (typic isohumisols) and red sandy soil (typic ferralisols). The sorption isotherms were performed with the original and “soft” carbon-removed soils in the presence and absence of biosurfactant (200 mg/L). The sorption and degradation of biosurfactant were investigated. The result showed that organic matter played an important role in PHE sorption onto the black loamy and red sandy soils, and the PHE sorption isotherms on the “soft” carbon-removed soils exhibited more nonlinearity than those on the original soils. The values of partition coe cient (Kd) on the original black loamy soil with or without 200 mg/L biosurfactant were 181.6 and 494.5 mL/g, respectively. Correspondingly, in the red sandy soil, Kd was 246.4 and 212.8 mL/g in the presence or absence of biosurfactant, respectively. The changes of Kd suggested that biosurfactant inhibited PHE sorption onto the black loamy soil, but facilitated PHE sorption onto the red sandy soil. The nonlinearity of PHE sorption isotherm was decreased in the presence of biosurfactant. Site specific sorption might occur during PHE sorption onto both the original and the “soft” carbon-removed soils in the presence of biosurfactant. It was noted that biosurfactant could also be sorbed onto soils. The maximal sorption capacity of the red sandy soil for biosurfactant was (76.9 0.007) g/g, which was 1.31 times that of black loamy soil. Biosurfactant was degraded quickly in the two selected soils, and 92% of biosurfactant were mineralized throughout the incubation experiment for 7 d. It implied that biosurfactant should be added frequently when the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soils was conducted through PAH desorption approach facilitated by biosurfactant.

垄作秸秆覆盖下西南地区蚕豆田土壤呼吸与有机碳特征

土壤呼吸是土壤有机碳库输出的主要途径,为探讨垄作和不同秸秆覆盖量对旱三熟蚕豆田土壤呼吸及有机碳特征的影响,测定了平作无覆盖(T)、垄作无覆盖(R)、垄作+半量覆盖(RS1)、垄作+全量覆盖(RS2)这4个处理下的西南紫色土丘陵区蚕豆/玉米/甘薯旱三熟体系中蚕豆田土壤呼吸及有机碳变化,分析了土壤温度和水分与土壤呼吸的关系.结果表明,蚕豆生长季节农田土壤呼吸随作物生长一致,呈先增加后减弱的变化趋势,全生育期平均土壤呼吸速率差异显著,表现为RS2RS1TR,分别为3.365、2.935、2.683、2.263 g·(m~2·d)~(-1).垄作显著降低了蚕豆农田土壤呼吸速率,而秸秆覆盖显著提高土壤呼吸速率,且随着覆盖量的增加而增加.土壤呼吸速率随土壤温度(5 cm和10 cm)呈指数型增长,10 cm处的回归模型明显好于5 cm.10 cm土层Q10值表现为RS2RS1RT,分别为1.751、1.665、1.616、1.35.垄作和秸秆覆盖下土壤温度、水分与土壤呼吸速率的混合指数模型可以解释土壤呼吸速率变异的68%(R)、79%(RS1)和76%(RS2).垄作和秸秆覆盖下0~5 cm、5~10 cm、10~20 cm、20~30 cm土层土壤有机碳含量均得到不同程度的提高,且随着覆盖量的增加而增加,其中5~10 cm、10~20 cm土层表现为RS2RS1RT,差异达显著水平,且5~10 cm土层有机碳含量增幅最大;但垄作和秸秆覆盖仅显著提高了颗粒有机碳0~30 cm加权平均值,对颗粒有机碳占土壤有机碳比例的影响效应不显著.

Soil-profile distribution of carbon and associated properties in no-till along a precipitation gradient in the central Great Plains

No-till (NT) farming is considered as a potential strategy for sequestering C in the soil. Data on soil-profile distribution of C and related soil properties are, however, limited, particularly for semiarid regions. We assessed soil C pool and soil structural properties such as aggregate stability and strength to 1 m soil depth across three long-term (≥21 year) NT and conventional till (CT) experiments along a precipitation gradient in the central Great Plains of the USA. Tillage systems were in continuous winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) on a loam at Hutchinson and winter wheat-sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]-fallow on silt loams at Hays and Tribune, Kansas. Mean annual precipitation was 889 mm for Hutchinson, 580 mm for Hays, and 440 mm for Tribune. Changes in profile distribution of soil properties were affected by differences in precipitations input among the three sites. At Hutchinson, NT had 1.8 times greater SOC pool than CT in the 0-2.5-cm depth, but CT had 1.5 times greater SOC pool in the 5-20-cm. At Hays, NT had 1.4 times greater SOC pool than CT in the 0-2.5-cm depth. Differences in summed SOC pool for the whole soil profile (0-1 m depth) between NT and CT were not significant at any site. The summed SOC pool with depth between NT and CT were only significant above the 5 cm depth at Hutchinson and 2.5 cm depth at Hays. At Hutchinson, NT stored 3.4 Mg ha⁻¹ more SOC than CT above 5 cm depth. At Hays, NT stored 1.35 Mg ha⁻¹ more SOC than CT above 2.5 cm depth. Moreover, NT management increased mean weight diameter of aggregates (MWDA) by 3 to 4 times for the 0-5-cm depth at Hutchinson and by 1.8 times for the 0-2.5-cm depth at Hays. It also reduced air-dry aggregate tensile strength (TS) for the 0-5-cm depth at Hutchinson and Hays and for the 0-2.5-cm depth at Tribune. The TS (r = −0.73) and MWDA (r = 0.81) near the soil surface were more strongly correlated with SOC concentration at Hutchinson than at Hays and Tribune attributed to differences in precipitation input. Results suggested NT impacts on increasing SOC pool and improving soil structural properties decreased with a decrease in precipitation input. Changes in soil properties were larger at Hutchinson (880 mm of precipitation) than at Hays and Tribune (≤580 mm). While NT management did not increase SOC pool over CT for the whole soil profile, the greater near-surface accumulation of SOC in NT than in CT was critical to the improvement in soil structural properties. Overall, differences in precipitation input among soils appeared to be the dominant factor influencing NT impacts on soil-profile distribution of SOC and soil structural properties in this region.     

Simulation study on vertical transport of atrazine in soil column

A simulation experiment on vertical transport of herbicide atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine) in soil column was conducted using lysimeter system. The atrazine concentrations in leaching water and soil samples in column at 8 layers with 10 cm thick of each layer were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results show total atrazine amount in leaching water increases nonlinearly with the leaching time and the herbicide application rate, and the atrazine concentrations in column soil decrease with the vertical depth after water leaching. The distribution of atrazine mass in the system after 154 days were that among the applied atrazine, 0.3 ％ is out through leaching water, 1％ is methanol extractable residues in soil, 46 ％ is methanol nonextractable residues in soil, and 52 ％ is other loss (including volatilization and degradation). The study indicates movement of atrazine in agriculture soil may not only have relation to the properties of herbicide, but also to the herbicide application history.     

作物植株残体还田土壤对除草剂的截留作用

Tillage and soil carbon sequestration—What do we really know?

It is widely believed that soil disturbance by tillage was a primary cause of the historical loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) in North America, and that substantial SOC sequestration can be accomplished by changing from conventional plowing to less intensive methods known as conservation tillage. This is based on experiments where changes in carbon storage have been estimated through soil sampling of tillage trials. However, sampling protocol may have biased the results. In essentially all cases where conservation tillage was found to sequester C, soils were only sampled to a depth of 30 cm or less, even though crop roots often extend much deeper. In the few studies where sampling extended deeper than 30 cm, conservation tillage has shown no consistent accrual of SOC, instead showing a difference in the distribution of SOC, with higher concentrations near the surface in conservation tillage and higher concentrations in deeper layers under conventional tillage. These contrasting results may be due to tillage-induced differences in thermal and physical conditions that affect root growth and distribution. Long-term, continuous gas exchange measurements have also been unable to detect C gain due to reduced tillage. Though there are other good reasons to use conservation tillage, evidence that it promotes C sequestration is not compelling.     

沼泽湿地开垦后土壤水热条件变化与碳、氮动态

三江平原沼泽湿地的垦殖对土壤环境产生了一定的影响.沼泽湿地开垦前,6～9月湿地表层土壤(10cm)温度均值为12.72℃±4.12℃,明显低于垦后农田(16.71℃±3.81℃).湿地垦殖后土壤温度的增高及氧化-还原条件的改变,促进土壤有机质的分解和土壤呼吸通量的增大, 垦后农田8～9月土壤平均呼吸通量[(946.36±195.78)mg·(m²·h)^-1]是天然沼泽湿地[(153.75±82.59)mg·(m²·h)^-1]的6倍.土壤有机碳及氮素含量随湿地开垦及开垦年限的增加而降低,沼泽湿地开垦初期5～7a,土壤有机碳及其它营养元素的含量变化幅度较大,持续耕作15～20a后,土壤有机碳损失曲线趋于相对稳定值.土壤有机质输入量的减少及分解作用加强导致土壤持水量降低,其变化趋势与土壤有机碳损失趋势相一致.     

不同耕作措施对渭北旱塬土壤碳库管理指数及其构成的影响

以渭北旱塬9 a（2007—2016年）的不同耕作定位试验为对象,研究了在秸秆还田条件下3种连年单一耕作即翻耕（CC）、免耕（NN）、深松（SS）和3种轮耕措施即免耕-深松（NS）、深松-翻耕（SC）、翻耕-免耕（CN）对农田土壤固碳速率（CSE）、碳库管理指数（CPMI）、小麦产量和秸秆还田后表观腐殖化系数的影响。结果表明：以翻耕（CC）作为参照土样,免耕提高了0~10 cm表层土壤的固碳速率、有机碳（SOC）及其易氧化组分（EOC）的含量,并增加了表层（0~10 cm）土壤的碳库管理指数（CPMI）,在>10 cm土层SOC、EOC含量虽有所减少,但提高了有机碳的稳定系数（K_OS）;深松则提高了表层和35~50 cm土层的SOC、EOC含量、CSE及CPMI,并增加了0~10 cm、35~50 cm土层的EOC/SOC值和10~20 cm土层的K_OS;轮耕处理各土层的CSE、SOC和EOC含量均有所增加,且增加了0~10 cm、35~50 cm土层的EOC/SOC值,其中NS和CN轮耕处理各层CPMI都有所增加。深松、免耕和轮耕处理提高了小麦产量和小麦秸秆量,其中NS处理增加幅度最大,分别为14.3%（籽粒）和12.9%（秸秆）;进行9 a小麦秸秆还田,免耕、深松和轮耕措施提高了还田秸秆的表观腐殖化系数,其中NS处理的表观腐殖化系数显著高于翻耕处理。     

黄土塬区小流域深层土壤有机碳变化的影响因素

以黄土高原沟壑区王东沟小流域为对象,研究了地形(塬面、塬坡和沟道)、土地利用(自然草地、人工草地、人工林地、农地和果园)对0～200cm土层内土壤有机碳(soil organic carbon,SOC)垂直分布特征的影响,以揭示黄土高原小流域深层SOC储量及其影响因素.结果表明,SOC含量除表层(0～20cm)沟道(10.0g·kg-1)大于塬面(7.8g·kg-1)和塬坡(8.2g·kg-1)外,塬面底层SOC均显著高于塬坡和沟道;塬坡和沟道SOC含量随深度增加而降低,而塬面上呈现SOC随深度增加降低-升高-降低的变化趋势.塬面上,SOC含量呈现人工草地(5.4g·kg-1)农田(5.2g·kg-1)和果园(5.1g·kg-1)的趋势,影响深度为表层40cm;塬坡上,呈现自然草地(4.3g·kg-1)人工林地(3.8g·kg-1)人工草地(3.3g·kg-1)和果园(3.3g·kg-1)的趋势,影响深度达到100cm;而沟道内,林草地利用方式对整个垂直剖面分布的差异无显著影响.20～100cm土层SOC储量占0～100cm储量的67.6%;100～200cm土层SOC储量占0～200cm储量的37.3%,相当于0～100cm的63.8%.研究结果表明地形、土地利用显著(p0.05)影响SOC垂直分布特征;黄土高原沟壑区深层SOC储量巨大,不容忽视.     

耕作深度调控秸秆还田对农田土壤呼吸的影响

秸秆还田和耕作深度处理是影响农田土壤呼吸最重要的农业管理措施之一,但二者交互作用影响农田土壤呼吸的机制尚不清楚.基于此,针对中国的旱地农田生态系统,利用已发表的116篇研究论文,借助Meta分析技术,探究秸秆还田和耕作深度处理及其二者交互作用对农田土壤呼吸的影响及其调控因素,为农田生态系统实现“碳中和”提供重要的数据支撑和理论依据.结果表明,免耕导致土壤呼吸减少了8.3%,而浅耕和深耕处理对土壤呼吸的影响不显著,但对土壤呼吸的增加量仍呈现出深耕>浅耕>免耕的趋势.虽然,浅耕和深耕对土壤呼吸和土壤有机碳（SOC）的影响均相对较小,但是免耕导致土壤呼吸减少了8.3%的同时却又导致SOC增加了7.05%,因此实施免耕措施对农田土壤固碳减排具有重要意义.此外,耕作深度会显著调控秸秆还田对土壤呼吸的影响,且土壤呼吸的增加量呈现出深耕秸秆还田>浅耕秸秆还田>免耕秸秆还田的趋势,整体平均增加了14.51%.秸秆还田后不同深度耕作处理下土壤呼吸的增加量与土壤容重、农作物产量、土壤有机碳、以及土壤温度和水分的改变量密切相关,且对土壤呼吸增加量的贡献呈现出土壤容重>农作物产量>土壤有机碳>土壤水分>土壤温度的趋势.虽然SOC在深耕秸秆还田、浅耕秸秆还田和免耕秸秆还田处理下分别增加了29.32%、10.12%和23.94%,但是土壤呼吸在深耕秸秆还田和浅耕秸秆还田处理分别增加了29.32%和18.92%,而在免耕秸秆还田处理下仅增加1.2%.所以,免耕秸秆还田也有利于农田土壤固碳减排.因此,在中国的旱地农田生态系统中,耕作深度会调控秸秆还田对土壤呼吸的影响程度,而这种调控主要与土壤理化性质有关,尤其与土壤容重关系最为紧密,且免耕和免耕秸秆还田均是有利于农田土壤固碳减排的重要农业管理措施.     

Modelling impacts of alternative farming management practices on greenhouse gas emissions from a winter wheat–maize rotation system in China

Agricultural production plays an important role in affecting atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Field measurements were conducted in Quzhou County, Hebei Province in the North China Plains to quantify carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from a winter wheat–maize rotation field, a common cropping system across the Chinese agricultural regions. The observed flux data in conjunction with the local climate, soil and management information were utilized to test a process-based model, Denitrification–Decomposition or DNDC, for its applicability for the cropping system. The validated DNDC was then used for predicting impacts of three management alternatives (i.e., no-till, increased crop residue incorporation and reduced fertilizer application rate) on CO₂ and N₂O emissions from the target field. Results from the simulations indicated that (1) CO₂ emissions were significantly affected by temperature, initial SOC, tillage method, and quantity and quality of the organic matter added in the soils; (2) increases in temperature, initial SOC, total fertilizer N input, and manure amendment substantially increased N₂O emissions; and (3) temperature, initial SOC, tillage, and quantity and quality of the organic matter added in the soil all had significant effects on global warming. Finally, five 50-year scenarios were simulated with DNDC to predict their long-term impacts on crop yield, soil C dynamics, nitrate leaching losses, and N₂O emissions. The modelled results suggested that implementation of manure amendment or crop residue incorporation instead of increased fertilizer application rates would more efficiently mitigate GHG emissions from the tested agro-ecosystem. The multi-impacts provided a sound basis for comprehensive assessments on the management alternatives.     

黄土高原典型土壤有机碳和微生物碳分布特征的研究

以阐明黄土高原典型区域土壤有机碳(SOC)含量和储量及微生物碳(Mc)含量随土壤类型、土层和土地利用方式变异规律为目的,研究了从北向南依次分布的干润砂质新成土(神木)、黄土正常新成土(延安)和土垫旱耕人为土(杨凌)等典型土壤的SOC含量和储量及Mc含量的变化特征。结果表明,不同土壤类型、不同土层SOC和Mc含量存在显著差异。同一土壤类型SOC和Mc含量在0～60cm随土层深度增加下降很明显,60～120cm土层有轻微下降,120cm土层以下低而稳定,同层次土壤从南到北,SOC、Mc和SOC储量含量显著下降,均以土垫旱耕人为土最高,黄土正常新成土次之,干润砂质新成土最低,且差异显著(P<0.05);0～200cm土层SOC总储量也沿土垫旱耕人为土(102.23±30.12t/hm²)、黄土正常新成土(67.78±9.23t/hm²)、干润砂质新成土(27.07±4.59t/hm²)依次下降;土垫旱耕人为土、黄土正常新成土和干润砂质新成土在100～200cm土层SOC累积量分别是0～100cm土层的65%、74%和58%,因此在研究黄土高原SOC贮量时必需考虑深层贮量的贡献。Mc随土壤类型的变化趋势与SOC基本相同,与SOC间存在极显著正相关关系(P<0.01);土壤Mc/SOC比值范围为0.005～0.05,土地利用仅对干润砂质新成土和土垫旱耕人为土SOC含量和储量影响显著(P>0.05),但对3种土壤Mc和Mc/SOC比值均产生显著影响;与农田土壤相比,草地土壤Mc和Mc/SOC比值均明显增加,这一结果说明用Mc和Mc/SOC比值更能有效反映土壤质量的变化。     

Soil C storage as affected by tillage and straw management: An assessment using field measurements and model predictions

Soil tillage and straw management are both known to affect soil organic matter dynamics. However, it is still unclear whether, or how, these two practices interact to affect soil C storage, and data from long term studies are scarce. Soil C models may help to overcome some of these problems. Here we compare direct measurements of soil C contents from a 9 year old tillage experiment to predictions made by RothC and a cohort model. Soil samples were collected from plots in an Irish winter wheat field that were exposed to either conventional (CT) or shallow non-inversion tillage (RT). Crop residue was removed from half of the RT and CT plots after harvest, allowing us to test for interactive effects between tillage practices and straw management. Within the 0–30 cm layer, soil C contents were significantly increased both by straw retention and by RT. Tillage and straw management did not interact to determine the total amount of soil C in this layer. The highest average soil C contents (68.9 ± 2.8 Mg C ha^?1) were found for the combination of RT with straw incorporation, whereas the lowest average soil C contents (57.3 ± 2.3 Mg C ha^?1) were found for CT with straw removal. We found no significant treatment effects on soil C contents at lower depths. Both models suggest that at our site, RT stimulates soil C storage largely by decreasing the decomposition of old soil C. Extrapolating our findings to the rest of Ireland, we estimate that RT will lead to C mitigation ranging from 0.18 to 1.0 Mg C ha^?1 y^?1 relative to CT, with the mitigation rate depending on the initial SOC level. However, on-farm assessments are still needed to determine whether RT management practices can be adopted under Irish conditions without detrimental effects on crop yield.     

成都平原区水稻土有机碳剖面分布特征及影响因素

了解环境因素对土壤有机碳剖面分布的影响,是准确拟合土壤有机碳在垂直方向上的连续变化、开展其三维空间分布模拟和估算区域土壤有机碳储量的基础.基于171个土壤剖面采样数据,利用指数递减函数拟合土壤有机碳剖面分布,分析成都平原区水稻土有机碳剖面分布的空间变异特征,并探讨成土母质、土壤类型(亚类和土属)、海拔、与河流距离和土地利用方式对其空间变异的影响作用,进而揭示环境因素对土壤有机碳剖面分布的影响.结果表明,0~20、20~40、40~60和60~100 cm土壤有机碳均值分别为19.42、9.59、5.99和5.20 g·kg-1,表现出显著的剖面递减趋势.土壤有机碳含量主要集中在40 cm以上,占整个土壤剖面的质量分数为72.17%,是研究成都平原区水稻土碳源/汇的关键部分.拟合土壤有机碳剖面分布的指数递减函数的2类参数呈现出一致的空间分布格局,具有空间相关性;参数C和k的块金系数分别为55.400%和47.671%,表明成都平原区水稻土壤有机碳剖面分布受结构性因素和随机性因素共同影响.回归分析揭示,成土母质和土属是影响研究区土壤有机碳剖面分布的主控因素,但海拔、与河流距离和土地利用的作用不容忽视.在拟合成都平原区水稻土有机碳剖面分布、构建其三维空间预测模型和估算土壤有机碳储量时,应重点考虑成土母质和土属的作用.     

Influence of no-tillage on the distribution and lability of phosphorus in Finnish clay soils

No-tillage (NT) is a method adopted to reduce erosion and particulate phosphorus (P) load from arable land to watercourses. However, it has been found to increase the loss of dissolved P with surface runoff, but the reasons for that have rarely been examined in detail. The objective of the present study was to determine the chemical factors explaining this response by investigating the impact of NT on the type and distribution of P reserves as well as on organic carbon (C) in the 0–35 cm topsoil layer of clay soil profiles (Vertic Cambisols). Soil samples were taken from two experimental fields (Jokioinen and Aurajoki) at 0–5, 5–20 and 20–35 cm depths in conventionally tilled (CT) and non-tilled (for 4–5 years) plots. The plots had been cultivated and fertilized according to the common field practices in Finland (15–18 kg P and 100–128 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹).Inorganic and organic P reserves characterized by a modified Chang and Jackson fractionation procedure were not significantly affected by the cultivation methods. However, in the uppermost soil layer (0–5 cm) in NT of the Jokioinen field, the labile P determined by water extraction (P_w) increased significantly, whereas the increase in P extracted with acid ammonium acetate (P_AAC) remained statistically insignificant. The increase in labile P coincided with a significant increase in organic carbon (C), which supports the theory that competition between organic anions and phosphate for the same sorption sites on oxide surfaces will enhance the lability of soil P. In the Aurajoki field with distinct soil cracking, P_w and P_AAC were not affected by NT in the uppermost soil layer, but they increased in the deepest soil layer (20–35 cm) concomitantly with an increase in Al-bound P and organic C. However, the increases were not statistically significant. In both fields, soil acidification due to the repeated application of N fertilizers at a shallow soil depth as well as the accumulation of organic C lowered pH of the uppermost soil layer in NT compared to the deeper soil layers. The results indicated that even short-term NT can increase the labile P in clay soil. However, further studies are needed to assess the long-term changes in lability of surface soil P and, consequently, the possible need for readjustment of the fertilization level in NT.     

Influence of conservation tillage on winter bird use of arable fields in Hungary

Bird use of conservation tillage-established (CT—seedbed preparation without soil inversion) crops was assessed at two adjacent sites in western Hungary, in comparison with conventionally established (mouldboard ploughed—P) fields. Bird abundance was assessed in a typical rotation of spring-sown maize and winter wheat in three consecutive winters. In the first winter, several species and the guild of seed-eating passerines were significantly more abundant on CT established plots, in both crop types. In the second winter, only starlings were more abundant on CT plots. In the third winter, only skylarks favoured CT over P plots. In combination with agri-environment scheme measures designed to provide resources for biodiversity, conservation tillage could play a role in softening the impact of agriculture on farmland birds in Hungary and elsewhere in Eastern Europe, in addition to its potential for reducing soil erosion and diffuse pollution.
