Nutrient flows in small-scale peri-urban vegetable farming systems in Southeast Asia—A case study in Hanoi

In many peri-urban areas of Southeast Asia, land use has been transformed from rice-based to more profitable vegetable-based systems in order to meet the increasing market demand. The major management related flows of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) were quantified over a 1-year period for intensive small-scale aquatic and terrestrial vegetable systems situated in two peri-urban areas of Hanoi City, Vietnam. The two areas have different sources of irrigation water; wastewater from Hanoi City and water from the Red River upstream of Hanoi. The first nutrient balances for this region and farming systems are presented. The main sources of individual elements were quantified and the nutrient use efficiency estimated. The environmental risks for losses and/or soil accumulation were also assessed and discussed in relation to long-term sustainability and health aspects.The primary source of nutrient input involved a combination of chemical fertilisers, manure (chicken) and irrigation water. A variable composition and availability of the latter two sources greatly influenced the relative magnitude of the final total loads for individual elements. Despite relatively good nutrient use efficiencies being demonstrated for N (46–86%) and K (66–94%), and to some extent also for P (19–46%), high inputs still resulted in substantial annual surpluses causing risks for losses to surface and ground waters. The surplus for N ranged from 85 to 882 kg ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, compared to P and K which were 109–196 and 20–306 kg ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, respectively. Those for Cu and Zn varied from 0.2 to 2.7 and from 0.6 to 7.7 kg ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, respectively, indicating high risk for soil accumulation and associated transfers through the food chain.Wastewater irrigation contributed to high inputs, and excess use of organic and chemical fertilisers represent a major threat to the soil and water environment. Management options that improve nutrient use efficiency represent an important objective that will help reduce annual surpluses. A sustainable reuse of wastewater for irrigation in peri-urban farming systems can contribute significantly to the nutrient supply (assuming low concentrations of potential toxic or hazardous substances in the water). Nutrient inputs need to be better related to the crop need, e.g. through better knowledge about the nutrient concentrations in the wastewater and improved management of the amount of irrigation water being applied.     

Reducing phosphorus in dairy diets improves farm nutrient balances and decreases the risk of nonpoint pollution of surface and ground waters

Reducing phosphorus (P) in dairy diets may result in different types of manure with different chemical composition. Application of these manures to soils may affect the soil P solubility and lead to different environmental consequences. A laboratory incubation study determined the impact of 40 dairy manures on P dynamics in two soil types, Mattapex silt loam (Aquic Hapludult) and Kalmia sandy loam (Typic Hapludult). The manures were fecal samples of lactating cows, collected from commercial dairy farms located in Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States, with a wide range of dietary P concentrations (from 2.9 to 5.8 g P kg⁻¹ feed dry matter, DM). Dried and ground fecal samples were mixed with surface horizon (0–15 cm) of soils at 150 kg P ha⁻¹ and the mixtures were incubated at 25 °C for 21 days. At the end of incubation, water soluble P (WS-P) and Mehlich-3 P (M3-P) in the soil–manure mixtures were substantially higher than the control (soil alone) but were lower than the soils receiving fertilizer KH₂PO₄ at 150 kg P ha⁻¹. Similarly, the relative extractability of P in soils amended with low- and high-P manures was always lower (<93%) than KH₂PO₄ suggesting that fertilizer P is more effective at increasing soil solution P in the short-term. Concentrations of WS-P or M3-P in soil–manure mixtures did not differ regardless of the source of manure (i.e. different farms and different diets). This suggests that when the same amount of P is added to soils through manure applications, the solubility or bioavailability of P in soils will be the same. However, P concentrations in feces correlate significantly with that in diets (r = 0.82^**); and when the manures were grouped into high-P diets (averaging 5.1 g P kg⁻¹) versus low-P diets (3.6 g P kg⁻¹), manure P was 40% greater in the high-P group (10.6 g kg⁻¹ DM) than the low-P group (7.6 g kg⁻¹ DM). Thus, lowering excess P in diets would reduce P excretion in manures, P accumulation in soils, improve P balance on farms, require less area for land disposal, and decrease potential for P loss to waters.     

Linkages between land management activities and water quality in an intensively farmed catchment in southern New Zealand

Linkages between land management activities and stream water quality are reported for a 2480 ha catchment used for dairy farming, sheep–beef farming and forestry in Southland, New Zealand. Our approach was to reconcile measured loads of nutrients exported from the catchment with those estimated based on characterisation of farming practices within the catchment. The latter was based upon detailed surveys of farm practices and soil quality. Monthly stream monitoring showed that median nutrient (N and P), sediment and faecal bacteria concentrations exceeded guidelines recommended for surface waters. Measured specific yields for suspended sediment (SS), total N (TN) and phosphorus (P) discharged from the catchment were 58, 8.2 and 0.43 kg ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, respectively, for the 2001–2005 monitoring period. In comparison, model estimates of N and P losses in drainage and overland flow from farms in the catchment were 10.1 and 0.59 kg ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, respectively. Field measurements, farm management surveys and farm systems modeling have identified some land management practices that appear to be key sources of many of these pollutants. These sources include subsurface drainage systems (including the preferential flow of irrigated effluent through these soils), overland flow from the heavy soils used for dairy farming in the catchment and the practice of intensively wintering cows on forage crops. Modeling suggests that a significant improvement in catchment water quality could be achieved through the implementation of targeted best management practices (BMPs) on dairy farms in the catchment. These include (i) covered feedpad wintering systems for controlling N losses, (ii) nitrification inhibitor use on milking platforms, (iii) deferred irrigation and low rate application of farm dairy effluent and (iv) limiting soil Olsen P to economically optimum levels. The adoption of these BMPs will, in part, depend on their economic viability. This paper therefore presents a double-bottom-line analysis (i.e. environmental and economic) of some of these BMPs and discusses their potential to cost-effectively deliver improved water quality in the Bog Burn catchment.     

长期污水灌溉后林地土壤中磷的含量与移动

为尽可能地削减污水携带的N、P进入湖泊,处理后的城市生活污水被直接喷灌到新西兰罗托鲁阿市的Whakarewarewa森林,并建立了污水灌溉林地处理系统的长期定位试验地以评价生态系统对污水携带营养物质的同化能力.为查清长期污水灌溉土壤中P的数量、迁移淋失及其环境危机,对11a污水灌溉后火山灰土壤中磷的积累、再分布进行剖面分层采样测定.结果表明,土壤pH、TP、Olsen P、M3P、M3Ca和M3Mg在所有灌溉处理区的表层土壤(0～10 cm)均有显著(p0.05)增加,部分增加的显著性达到20～40 cm土层或更深层次土壤.大多数随灌溉而进入土壤的P被保存在上层土壤(0～40 cm)中.土壤Olsen P和M3P的浓度在中、高水平处理区的20 cm以上土层中超过了环境临界值(Olsen P为60 mg.kg-1;M3P为150mg.kg-1),磷饱和率(M3PSR)数值同时显示表层土壤对P的吸持已近饱和,预示土壤磷素有随下渗水向下移动的潜在可能.常规土壤采样以60 mg.kg-1 Olsen P测定值为环境临界值,可解决土壤剖面中磷的下移监测难题.以M3P与M3Al、M3Fe的摩尔比计算的磷饱和率(M3PSR)作为长期污水灌溉林地处理系统中土壤磷向下移动的环境危机临界值参数指标已不是很理想,对新的磷饱和参数的研究是今后的主要工作之一.     

Comparison between background concentrations of arsenic in urban and non-urban areas of Florida

Arsenic contamination is of great environmental concern due to its toxic effects as a carcinogen. Knowledge of arsenic background concentrations is important for land application of wastes and for making remediation decisions. The soil clean-up target level for arsenic in Florida (0.8 and 3.7 mg kg⁻¹ for residential and commercial areas, respectively) lies within the range of both background and analytical quantification limits. The objective of this study was to compare arsenic distribution in urban and non-urban areas of Florida. Approximately 440 urban and 448 non-urban Florida soil samples were compared. For urban areas, soil samples were collected from three land-use classes (residential, commercial and public land) in two cities, Gainesville and Miami. For the non-urban areas, samples were collected from relatively undisturbed non-inhabited areas. Arsenic concentrations varied greatly in Gainesville, ranging from 0.21 to approximately 660 mg kg⁻¹ with a geometric mean (GM) of 0.40 mg kg⁻¹, which were lower than Miami samples (ranging from 0.32 to 112 mg kg⁻¹; GM=2.81 mg kg⁻¹). Arsenic background concentrations in urban soils were significantly greater and showed greater variation than those from relatively undisturbed non-urban soils (GM=0.27 mg kg⁻¹) in general.     

亚热带丘陵小流域土壤有效磷空间变异与淋失风险研究

肥料过施导致的土壤磷素累积和淋失是农业面源污染的重要方面.以湖南省长沙县金井镇脱甲河小流域(52 km2)为研究区,采用高密度布点采样、Arc GIS软件和属性相似反距离加权插值法研究了亚热带丘陵小流域表层(0~20 cm)土壤有效磷(Olsen-P)含量(以P计,下同)的空间分布特征与磷素的淋失风险.结果表明,菜地、果园、稻田和茶园土壤Olsen-P平均含量为62.0、16.1、14.4和13.7 mg·kg-1,是林地(平均含量为2.36 mg·kg-1)的5.8~26.3倍.5个土地利用类型土壤Olsen-P含量均具有高等变异水平和中等程度的空间自相关性(块基比C0/(C0+C)=50%),这与区内地形地貌、土壤母质、人工施肥等具有密切关系.根据土壤0.01 mol·L-1Ca Cl2浸提态P和Olsen-P的非线性关系可确定区内红壤和水稻土P的淋失风险临界值分别为69.97和98.40 mg·kg-1,并据此对脱甲河小流域土壤磷素淋失的风险进行了定量评价,结果表明旱地土壤具有明显较高的淋失风险,其中中等以上的比例占36.4%,而稻田土壤仅有0.2%,为中等以上淋失风险.因此,控制旱地(尤其是菜地)磷肥的投入是降低亚热带丘陵小流域土壤P淋失风险和减轻农业面源污染的关键.     

稻田土壤Cd污染与安全种植分区:以重庆市某区为例

水稻对土壤中Cd的富集积累能力强,开展稻田土壤Cd污染与安全种植分区研究对于区域土地有效利用具有重要意义.在重庆市某区22个镇同步采集稻田土壤-水稻样品300套,测定土壤pH、Cd全量和有效态含量、糙米Cd含量,采用地累积指数、生物富集系数和单因子污染指数评价土壤Cd污染状况;结合土壤和糙米Cd污染指数进行水稻安全种植分区.结果表明,研究区稻田土壤总体偏酸性,Cd全量为0.09~1.60 mg ·kg^-1,超过风险筛选值的点位占35.0%;糙米Cd含量为0.002~0.808 mg ·kg^-1,超过食品安全限量值的点位占13.7%.Pearson相关分析表明,糙米Cd含量与土壤Cd全量、有效态Cd含量均呈极显著正相关（P<0.01）.污染评价显示,稻田土壤呈现明显的Cd累积,部分土壤表现为轻-中度污染;糙米对土壤Cd的富集系数为0.004~1.72.研究区稻田土壤总体为安全或基本安全,低风险区在南部、西部和东部均有分布;中高风险区面积较小,主要分散在8个地区.     

广西西江流域土壤铅空间分布与污染评价

为了解广西西江流域土壤Pb含量分布特征,采集有色金属矿区土壤、农田土壤(水田土壤和旱地土壤)和自然土壤共2 594个样品,采用地统计分析与GIS相结合的方法研究流域内土壤Pb含量空间分布特征与污染状况.结果表明,西江流域土壤Pb背景值为51.84 mg·kg~(-1),单样本T检验结果表明,显著高于前人背景值研究结果(22.08 mg·kg~(-1))和广西土壤背景值(20.50 mg·kg~(-1)).矿区土壤、旱地土壤和水田土壤Pb含量分别为655.9、116.7和40.63 mg·kg~(-1),矿区土壤Pb含量显著高于其他类型土壤.以《土壤环境质量标准》(GB 15618-1995)和土壤基线值为参考值,超标率分别为57.69%、16.40%、8.92%和54.95%、8.09%、2.03%,矿区和农田土壤存在明显的Pb积累.流域土壤Pb有明显的空间自相关性,以结构性变异为主.西江流域上游至中、下游土壤Pb呈现总体递减趋势,流域特征明显,高Pb含量样点在刁江上游的聚集远大于刁江下游都安段.西江流域土壤样本Pb总体介于轻度污染-中度污染之间,金城江区及南丹县土壤Pb污染突出,与当地频繁的矿业活动密切相关.     

Assessing soil chemical and physical property responses to deforestation and subsequent cultivation in smallholders farming system in Ethiopia

In Ethiopia land degradation in the forms of soil erosion and declining soil fertility are serious challenges to agricultural productivity and economic growth. Despite the general recognition of the threat from land degradation on agricultural productivity, few studies have been made to quantify the extent, rate and process of soil fertility depletion under various land use systems and management practices in the country. In this study we assessed soil chemical and physical property responses to deforestation and subsequent cultivation along a chronosequence of closely located farmlands of different ages (7, 10, 26, 34 and 53 years) since conversion from a tropical dry Afromontane natural forest in Ethiopia. These properties were compared with soil properties under an adjacent natural forest. The changes were used as indicators to evaluate the sustainability of the farm management. All the soils in the study were Mollic Andosols/Humic Haplustands. Soil bulk density (g cm⁻³) in the 0–10 and 10–20 cm soil layers increased significantly while percent pore space decreased significantly in a continuum with increasing cultivation period. Soil C and total N contents (g kg⁻¹) in the 0–10 cm soil layer declined significantly and exponentially with increasing years under cultivation. However, in the 10–20 cm soil layer both soil C and total N on the farmlands were significantly higher until after 34 years of continuous cultivation compared to the same soil layer under the natural forest. Consequently, the soil C stock (g m⁻²) of the upper 0.20 m mineral soil was not significantly lower on the farmlands until after 26 years of continuous cultivation compared to the natural forest soil. Available P and K (mg kg⁻¹) in the 0–10 cm layer were higher in the soils of the farmlands throughout the 53 years of continuous cultivation compared to the soil under the natural forest. Exchangeable Ca, CEC and base saturation in the 0–10 cm soil layer declined more or less throughout the cultivation period while in the 10–20 cm soil layer they followed the patterns of soil C of that depth. Generally, the magnitudes and rates of degradation of the soil properties following conversion and subsequent cultivation were lower than expected for a low input tropical farming system as the one investigated. Nevertheless, almost all soil quality attributes showed overall declining trends in the long perspective. This continuous decline, albeit slowly, in soil quality with increasing cultivation period indicated that the present land management is not sustainable. Therefore, improved management is imperative to sustain the soil quality and maintain long-term productivity of the farmlands.     

北京市近郊区土壤砷累积特征

城市近郊区土地利用类型多元化,同时也承载着巨大环境压力,研究近郊区土壤污染特征对城市规划及发展有着重要意义.通过3 km×3 km网格布点,系统采样调查了北京市近郊区5～6环路之间167个样点的0～20 cm表层土壤样品中砷的含量,分析了城市近郊区土壤砷的累积特征.结果表明,北京市近郊区土壤砷含量为2.89～11.38 mg.kg-1,平均值为7.11mg.kg-1.平均值在90年代末的背景值调查数据的范围之内,但是各个分位数级别的值均小于80年代初的北京市土壤背景值调查数据.因子分析结果发现北京市近郊区土壤砷与来源于成土母质的Co、Mn和Ni元素一组.克里格插值得到的北京市近郊区土壤砷含量空间分布图表明,西北与东部及东南部分土壤砷含量较东北和西南部高,砷含量最高25%的土壤样点与点源污染有关,而砷含量最低25%的样点大多远离污染源.不同土地利用类型土壤砷的比较结果表明人类活动在一定程度上影响土壤中砷的累积,生活区与农田土壤砷含量相似且显著大于绿地和荒地.污染源对生活区和绿地与荒地土壤中砷的累积有显著影响,工厂区附近的土壤砷含量显著比远离工厂区和交通区的土壤高.因此,北京市近郊区土壤砷在整体空间分布上主要与成土母质有关,然而人类活动在一定程度上也显著增加了土壤砷的累积.     

Modelling soil phosphorus decline: Expectations of Water Framework Directive policies

Depletion of plant-available soil phosphorus (P) from excessive to agronomically optimum levels is a measure being implemented in Ireland to reduce the risk of diffuse P transfer from land to water. Within the Nitrates and Water Framework Directive regulations the policy tool is designed to help achieve good status by 2015 in water bodies at risk from eutrophication. To guide expectation, this study used soil plot data from eight common soil associations to develop a model of Soil Test P (STP) (Morgan's extract) decline following periods of zero P amendment. This was used to predict the time required to move from excessive (Index 4) to the upper boundary of the optimum (Index 3) soil P concentration range. The relative P balance (P balance : Total soil P) best described an exponential decline (R² = 63%) of STP according to a backwards step-wise regression of a range of soil parameters. Using annual field P balance scenarios (?30 kg P ha^?1, ?15 kg P ha^?1, ?7 kg P ha^?1), average time to the optimum soil P boundary condition was estimated from a range of realistic Total P and STP starting points. For worst case scenarios of high Total P and STP starting points, average time to the boundary was estimated at 7–15 years depending on the field P balance. However, uncertainty analysis of the regression parameter showed that variation can be from 3 to >20 years. Combined with variation in how soil P source changes translate to resulting P delivery to water bodies, water policy regulators are advised to note this inherent uncertainty from P source to receptor with regard to expectations of Water Framework Directive water quality targets and deadlines.     

开封城市土壤磷素组成特征及流失风险

为深入了解城市土壤磷素组成特征及其对受纳水体的影响,以开封城市表层土壤为研究对象,分析开封城市不同功能区土壤磷素的组成特征,并采用"突变点"法计算土壤磷素流失临界值,探讨开封城市不同功能区表层土壤磷素流失风险.结果表明,开封城市土壤总磷为400~1 427 mg·kg~(-1),其中无机磷占65%~99%;速效磷(Olsen-P)和易解吸磷分别为3.41~115.03 mg·kg~(-1)和0.01~9.40 mg·kg~(-1),与土壤磷素背景值相比,城市土壤磷素呈现明显集聚.开封城市土壤总磷和速效磷均呈现出东高西低,中心老城区高于新城区的空间分布格局;在不同功能区分布上,居民区土壤各形态磷素含量均最高.开封城市土壤磷素流失临界值对应的Olsen-P为22.18 mg·kg~(-1),超过临界值的土样占总土样数的33.64%,磷素流失风险最高的区域亦分布在中心老城区.     

田间土壤外源铜镍在小麦中的累积及其毒害研究

通过湖南祁阳和山东德州的田间试验,研究不同水平外源Cu、Ni在酸性和碱性土壤中经过老化之后对小麦的毒害及其在小麦植株内的累积状况.结果表明,小麦籽粒和秸秆的生物量随着土壤中Cu、Ni添加剂量增加而减少.酸性土壤(祁阳,pH 5.31)和碱性土壤(德州,pH 8.90)中外源Cu的对小麦的10%抑制效应含量(EC10)分别为55.7 mg.kg-1和499.6mg.kg-1,外源Cu、Ni在祁阳田间土壤中的毒性显著高于德州田间土壤.随着土壤重金属添加量的增加,Cu在祁阳小麦籽粒中的含量随土壤Cu添加量的增加而增加,后趋于稳定,Ni在德州小麦籽粒中的含量随土壤Ni添加量的增加呈线性增加;德州小麦籽粒中Cu、Ni含量范围分别为6.07～9.26 mg.kg-1和0.53～31.78 mg.kg-1,祁阳小麦籽粒含量分别为5.24～10.52mg.kg-1和0.16～25.33 mg.kg-1.在试验的2种土壤中,外源Cu没有造成小麦的籽粒含量超标,因此,相比食品安全,农田土壤Cu污染的生态风险应优先考虑.     

亚热带可变电荷土壤磷素淋失临界点及其与土壤特性的关系

选取我国亚热带地区16种典型可变电荷土壤,通过室内模拟试验测定其磷素(P)淋失临界点的Olsen-P含量,以及可能对其构成有影响的8个化学性质指标(pH、CEC、粘粒、有机质、交换性钙、镁和铁铝氧化物含量),以探讨可变电荷土壤P淋失临界点的特点及其与土壤相关性质的关系,并评价当前的P淋失潜在风险.结果表明:可变电荷土壤P淋失临界点的Olsen-P含量(56 ～ 123 mg·kg-1)差异很大,旱地土壤临界点Olsen-P含量主要集中在低值区间(＜60 mg·kg-1),而水稻土临界点Olsen-P含量集中在高值区间(＞80 mg·kg-1);旱地土壤P淋失风险高于水稻土.主成分分析显示,可变电荷土壤的pH、粘粒、CEC、有机质、交换性钙镁、氧化铁铝等化学性质同时对其临界点Olsen-P含量构成正的或负的影响.因此,临界点Olsen-P含量与单一因素的回归分析不仅不能够确切地反映临界点Olsen-P含量与这些化学性质的关系(与pH、CEC、粘粒、交换性钙镁含量无显著相关),甚至与理论上的关联相违(与氧化铁铝含量呈负相关).与以往研究结果比较,可变电荷土壤在旱作和稻作下的P淋失临界点的Olsen-P含量都普遍高于永久电荷土壤,研究的16种可变电荷土壤的实际Olsen-P含量也远低于临界点Olsen-P含量,由此推断南方地区耕作土壤的P淋失风险仍较小.     

多菌灵在农田土壤中的降解及其影响因子研究

采用实验室模拟方法,研究了微生物、含水量和Cd对土壤中多菌灵降解动态的影响.结果表明,土壤中多菌灵(5.0mg·kg-1和10.0 mg·kg-1)的降解半衰期在灭菌条件下为非灭菌条件下的12.6～13.8倍;复合降解菌群(枯草杆菌、副球菌、黄杆菌和假单胞菌)的加入显著缩短了土壤中多菌灵的降解半衰期(32.1%～37.1%);当土壤含水量由40%田间持水量提高到60%或80%田间持水量,多菌灵降解半衰期缩短46.2%或74.0%;低浓度Cd(5.0 mg·kg-1)的加入显著缩短了土壤中多菌灵的降解半衰期(32.1%～52.4%),而高浓度的Cd(50 mg·kg-1)延长多菌灵的降解半衰期(92.6%～103.0%);对添加复合降解菌群的土壤,低浓度Cd(5.0 mg·kg-1)的加入同样显著缩短了土壤中多菌灵的降解半衰期(34.0%～34.4%),高浓度的Cd(50 mg·kg-1)延长多菌灵的降解半衰期(74.4%～109.4%).研究表明,土著微生物在多菌灵降解过程中发挥重要的作用,多菌灵降解菌群、较高的土壤湿度和低浓度的Cd也促进了土壤中多菌灵的降解.     

广西西江流域土壤镉含量特征及风险评估

为了解广西西江流域土壤Cd含量分布特征及风险,结合土地利用方式进行大规模抽样调查,采集有色金属矿区土壤、农田土壤（水田土壤和旱地土壤）和自然土壤共2512个样品,测试其Cd含量.结果表明,西江流域土壤Cd的背景值为0.514 mg·kg^-1,显著高于前人研究结果（0.148 mg·kg^-1）和广西土壤背景值（0.267 mg·kg^-1）;旱地、水田、矿区土壤Cd含量分别为0.559、0.787、5.71 mg·kg^-1,水田土壤和矿区土壤Cd含量显著高于自然土壤;以西江流域土壤Cd含量背景值和基线值为限定值,超标率分别为51.2%、66.7%、77.8%和35.2%、39.6%、71.4%,矿区土壤和农田土壤都有明显的Cd积累趋势;从土壤Cd空间分布及污染特征来看,西江流域总体土壤Cd含量为0.726 mg·kg^-1,高Cd含量斑块主要集中在西江流域上游河池地区的南丹县、大化县、都安县、环江县和宜州市,以及柳江县、武宣县和象州县等地区,这些地方出现了重度甚至极重度污染、中等-强污染累积程度和高等-极高等潜在生态风险.总体上,广西西江流域上游地区的农业土壤、矿区土壤Cd污染问题突出,属于高Cd风险区域,土壤生态状况不容乐观,这主要与上游矿业密集区的矿业活动和地质高背景Cd有关,长期居住在矿区及周边地区的居民,以及食用这一区域生产的农产品,可能对部分当地居民的健康产生危害.建议进一步通过土壤-植物-人体体系展开镉风险评估,同时采取相应措施以控制风险.     

水稻对不同土壤中硒酸盐/亚硒酸盐的吸收和富集

通过土培试验研究了在3种类型土壤(红壤、黑土和灰钙土)上施用不同价态硒肥(Na2 SeO3或Na2 SeO4)条件下,水稻地上部硒含量的变化.结果表明,在水稻幼苗期,3种土壤上Se4+硒肥处理的水稻幼苗地上部硒含量高于Se6+硒肥处理.施用Se4+硒肥,红壤、黑土及灰钙土中水稻幼苗的硒含量分别为5.76、1.18和1.11 mg· kg-1,分别为对照的2.5、4.7和6.9倍;施用Se6+硒肥,红壤、黑土及灰钙土中水稻幼苗的硒含量分别为4.70、0.66和0.73 mg·kg-1.在水稻成熟期,施用Se4+硒肥后,红壤、黑土及灰钙土中水稻籽粒中硒含量分别由对照中的0.34、0.05和0.05 mg·kg-1增加到0.94、0.14和0.20 mg·kg-1;施用Se6+硒肥后,红壤、黑土及灰钙土中水稻籽粒中硒含量分别为1.13、0.12、0.16mg·kg-1.不同价态硒肥处理和土壤类型对水稻幼苗和成熟地上部硒含量都有显著影响.在pH值低的红壤上施用Se6+硒肥效果更好,而在pH值高的黑土和灰钙土上施用Se4+硒肥效果更好;从环境风险和硒对植物毒性的角度考虑,硒肥以亚硒酸盐的形式施用比较好.     

Modelling greenhouse gas emissions from European conventional and organic dairy farms

Agriculture is an important contributor to global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), in particular for methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O). Emissions from farms with a stock of ruminant animals are particularly high due to CH₄ emissions from enteric fermentation and manure handling, and due to the intensive nitrogen (N) cycle on such farms leading to direct and indirect N₂O emissions. The whole-farm model, FarmGHG, was designed to quantify the flows of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) on dairy farms. The aim of the model was to allow quantification of effects of management practices and mitigation options on GHG emissions. The model provides assessments of emissions from both the production unit and the pre-chains. However, the model does not quantify changes in soil C storage.Model dairy farms were defined within five European agro-ecological zones for both organic and conventional systems. The model farms were all defined to have the same utilised agricultural area (50 ha). Cows on conventional and organic model farms were defined to achieve the same milk yield, so the basic difference between conventional and organic farms was expressed in the livestock density. The organic farms were defined to be 100% self-sufficient with respect to feed. The conventional farms, on the other hand, import concentrates as supplementary feed and their livestock density was defined to be 75% higher than the organic farm density. Regional differences between farms were expressed in the milk yield, the crop rotations, and the cow housing system and manure management method most common to each region.The model results showed that the emissions at farm level could be related to either the farm N surplus or the farm N efficiency. The farm N surplus appeared to be a good proxy for GHG emissions per unit of land area. The GHG emissions increased from 3.0 Mg CO₂-eq ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ at a N surplus of 56 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ to 15.9 Mg CO₂-eq ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ at a N surplus of 319 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹. The farm N surplus can relatively easily be determined on practical farms from the farm records of imports and exports and the composition of the crop rotation. The GHG emissions per product unit (milk or metabolic energy) were quite closely related to the farm N efficiency, and a doubling of the N efficiency from 12.5 to 25% reduced the emissions per product unit by ca. 50%. The farm N efficiency may therefore be used as a proxy for comparing the efficiencies of farms with respect to supplying products with a low GHG emission.     

农业耕作对三峡水库支流库湾消落带土壤氮、磷含量及流失的影响

三峡水库低水位运行时,消落带由于落干期与作物生长期重叠,常被近岸农民开垦利用,然而传统的农业种植可能会影响库区水环境.为对比农耕和弃耕的水环境效应,选择一级支流澎溪河库湾消落带为研究区域,以玉米、土豆和花生地为研究对象,选择农耕期（2018年3~9月）和退耕期（2019年3~9月）对农耕地和弃耕地土壤各氮、磷形态含量进行研究,同时构建了农耕地与弃耕地氮、磷平衡模型,比较分析农耕和弃耕状态下土壤氮、磷收支特征及其流失风险.结果表明,玉米地土壤氨氮、全磷和无机磷含量在不同种植期差异显著;农耕地的氨氮和硝态氮的含量显著高于弃耕地,全磷、无机磷和钙结合态磷的含量显著低于弃耕地;土壤氮、磷盈余量大小顺序为玉米>土豆>花生,分别是76.89、51.92和43.74 kg·hm^-2以及79.69、75.76和17.78 kg·hm^-2,整体上,3种作物用地氮、磷盈余量大于流失风险值,研究区农耕地氮、磷污染潜势呈现.综上可知,消落带农业耕作将迫使氮、磷流失风险加剧,不利于水环境保护.     

A field experiment investigating the effects of olive husk and cow manure on heavy metal availability in a contaminated calcareous soil from Murcia (Spain)

The transfer of heavy metals from the former sites of mining activity in La Unión (Murcia) to the nearby agricultural soils is a serious environmental risk. The effect of two organic wastes, used as soil amendments, on the bioavailability of heavy metals in an agricultural soil and on their accumulation in Beta vulgaris L. var. Nomonta and Beta maritima L. was studied in a field experiment. The soil was a calcareous Xeric Torriorthent and the total metal levels were (mg kg⁻¹): 2706 Zn, 3235 Pb, 39 Cu. The treatments were: fresh cow manure, olive husk and inorganic fertiliser as a control. Two successive crops (B. vulgaris and B. maritima) were grown. The soil was sampled before each planting and after each harvest. B. vulgaris behaved as a metal indicator plant, as its concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Mn and Pb) in all treatments reflected the extractable soil levels. The high concentrations of metals, especially Pb (5.1–16.8 times the EU limit for plant foodstuffs), revealed a health risk for human and livestock due to the spread of the metal pollution from mining sites to agricultural areas. Cow manure did not alter the DTPA-extractable concentrations of metals in the soil or their absorption by plants in comparison with the control. But olive husk favoured solubility of metals in soils and their accumulation in plants, due to the reduction of Mn oxides during degradation of phenolic compounds. So, this material could be a useful amendment for phytoextraction of metals by accumulator species, while manure can be very useful for phytostabilisation.
