秸秆还田配施化肥对稻-油轮作土壤酶活性及微生物群落结构的影响

秸秆还田是农业生态系统提高土壤肥力和维持作物生产力的有效管理措施.为了研究秸秆还田配施化肥对巢湖地区稻-油轮作农田土壤养分含量、酶活性和微生物群落的影响,开展连续4 a （2016~2020年）的田间定位试验,设置无秸秆+无施肥（CK）、常规施肥（F）、秸秆还田+常规施肥（SF）和秸秆还田+常规施肥减20%（SDF）这4个处理,探究不同处理下影响土壤酶活性与细菌、真菌群落发生变化的关键环境因子.结果表明,秸秆还田配施化肥较常规施肥处理能够提高土壤养分含量,SF处理的土壤养分含量最高.与F相比,SF处理的水稻季土壤有机质（OM）和全磷（TP）含量显著提高了7.94%和24.07%（P<0.05）,油菜季碱解氮（AN）含量显著提高了13.62%（P<0.05）.SF较F处理的土壤磷酸酶和脲酶在水稻季显著提高了28.54%和24.13%,在油菜季显著提高了38.97%和30.70%,而SDF处理的4种土壤酶中仅脲酶活性较F处理显著提高,水稻季和油菜季分别提高了20.31%和24.33%（P<0.05）.秸秆还田对水稻季土壤细菌的Chao1和Shannon指数有所增加,油菜季则有所减少,而对真菌群落的Chao1和Shannon指数均增加.对于微生物群落结构而言,SF和SDF较F处理的变形菌门相对丰度在水稻季分别增加了8.22%和7.88%,油菜季分别增加了18.53%和5.68%.与F相比,SF和SDF处理的绿弯菌门相对丰度在水稻季分别增加了12.00%和11.25%,油菜季分别增加了15.02%和8.43%.水稻季SF和SDF处理的担子菌门较F相比相对丰度显著提高了70%和43.42%（P<0.05）,油菜季SF和SDF处理的子囊菌门与F相比显著提高了69.79%和43.72%（P<0.05）.综上,秸秆还田配施化肥可提高土壤养分含量,土壤脲酶和磷酸酶对秸秆还田的响应更为敏感,稻-油轮作农田土壤的细菌群落构成发生改变主要受土壤TP和速效磷（AP）影响,而土壤OM、AN和pH则是引起真菌群落构成变化的主要环境因子,因而秸秆还田有利于提高农田土壤肥力和维护生态系统健康.     

土壤改良对豫中烟田甲烷吸收的影响

为探究不同土壤改良措施对豫中烟田甲烷（CH₄）吸收规律的影响,以中烟100为供试品种,利用静态密闭暗箱法对烤烟-土壤生态系统CH₄吸收速率进行了周年测定.采用随机区组试验,共设置5个处理：不施肥（NF）、仅施用氮磷钾（NPK）、氮磷钾+种植并翻压黑麦草（NPKG）、氮磷钾+小麦秸秆还田（NPKS）和氮磷钾+施用烟秆生物炭（NPKB）.结果表明,2020年所有处理CH₄排放速率为-98.45~-13.50 μg·m^-2·h^-1,表明试验田是CH₄的吸收汇,CH₄的吸收速率随着温度的升高而增加,呈现明显的季节变化规律.在烤烟生育期,CH₄吸收速率与土壤孔隙含水率（WFPS）和土壤硝态氮含量均呈负相关,与土壤温度呈正相关.在休闲期,影响CH₄吸收速率的主要因素是土壤温度.与NPK相比,生育期NPKB处理的土壤孔隙含水率显著提高13.63%,NPKG、NPKS和NPKB处理的硝态氮和铵态氮含量均显著升高.所有处理CH₄全年吸收总量为3.25~3.83 kg·hm^-2,NPKG、NPKS和NPKB处理CH₄吸收总量较NPK处理分别显著降低了6.59%、6.82%、12.49%.添加有机物料能够显著提高 烟叶产量,其中,NPKG处理的烟叶产量最高.综合以上结果,该地区采用种植并翻压黑麦草的土壤改良措施较为合适.

高量秸秆还田配施芽孢杆菌对沙化土壤细菌群落及肥力的影响

探讨高量秸秆还田模式协同配施芽孢杆菌等功能菌群对沙化土壤的培肥潜能,解析土壤碳氮磷组分和菌群功能活性的变化特征,可为高效提升沙化土壤肥力提供依据.采用随机区组试验,设置秸秆不还田（CK）、高量还田梯度分别为6.00 kg ·m^-2（ST1）、12.00 kg ·m^-2（ST2）、24.00 kg ·m^-2（ST3）、6.00 kg ·m^-2+芽孢杆菌（SM1）、12.00 kg ·m^-2+芽孢杆菌（SM2）和24.00 kg ·m^-2+芽孢杆菌（SM3）这7个处理组.利用16S rRNA高通量测序技术分析细菌多样性和群落结构,土壤农化分析方法测定土壤化学性质.结果发现：①高量秸秆还田协同配施芽孢杆菌显著降低土壤细菌群落α多样性;②高量秸秆还田单一模式显著富集变形菌门,降低放线菌门的相对丰度,配施芽孢杆菌对细菌群落结构变异性的影响更显著,在属水平上表现为假单胞菌、罗河杆菌和芽孢杆菌等有益菌属的相对丰度显著增加;③基于FAPROTAX的功能预测发现：高量秸秆还田配施芽孢杆菌显著提高了土壤菌群对有机物质的分解潜力和氮组分转化潜力;④与对照相比较,高量秸秆还田配施芽孢杆菌显著提升了ω（SOM）、ω（TP）和ω（AP）,分别提高了31.20~32.75 g ·kg^-1、0.11~0.18 g ·kg^-1和29.69~35.09 mg ·kg^-1.因此,高量秸秆还田配施芽孢杆菌可显著提升沙化土壤有机质与磷组分含量、细菌功能活性与有益菌属丰度,对旱区沙化中低产田地力快速提升具有重要意义.     

长期生物炭添加对稻田土壤细菌和真菌反硝化N2O排放的影响

由细菌和真菌驱动的反硝化作用是稻田土壤氧化亚氮（N₂O）排放的主要来源,一般认为生物炭通过影响细菌反硝化过程来减少N₂O排放,而对真菌反硝化的相关影响机制尚不清楚.以中国科学院常熟农业生态实验基地长期秸秆炭化还田试验田为对象,通过室内厌氧培养和分子生物学技术研究了长期不同生物炭施加量下（空白、 2.25 t·hm^-2和22.5 t·hm^-2,分别用BC0、 BC1和BC10表示）稻田土壤细菌和真菌反硝化产生N₂O的相对贡献及相关微生物的作用机制.结果表明,与BC0相比,生物炭处理显著降低了N₂O排放速率、反硝化势以及N₂O累积排放量,且3个处理中细菌反硝化贡献均大于真菌反硝化;其中,BC10的细菌反硝化相对贡献率（62.9%）相较于BC0（50.8%）显著增加,BC10的真菌反硝化相对贡献率（37.1%）显著低于BC0（49.2%）.生物炭施加显著增加了细菌反硝化功能基因（nirK、 nirS和nosZ）的丰度,减低了fungal nirK基因的丰度.相关分析结果表明真菌反硝化贡献率与N₂O排放速率显著正相关,与土壤pH、 TN、 SOM和DOC显著负相关.生物炭可能通过提高pH和碳氮含量等来抑制反硝化真菌的生长,降低相关功能基因丰度,从而减弱了真菌反硝化过程NO还原为N₂O的能力,使真菌反硝化过程产生N₂O的贡献率显著下降,从而减少了稻田土壤反硝化N₂O排放.本研究有助于拓宽对稻田土壤反硝化过程的认知,并为生物炭施用调控真菌反硝化N₂O排放提供理论基础.     

秸秆与生物炭施加对茉莉园土壤真菌群落及有机碳库特征的影响

为阐明秸秆与生物炭施加后茉莉园土壤真菌群落及有机碳库组分分配的变化特征,测定分析了茉莉园对照、秸秆和生物炭处理0~15 cm土壤真菌群落特征与有机碳库组分,并计算其碳库管理指数（CPMI）. 结果表明,秸秆与生物炭施加后土壤真菌群落多样性均降低,各处理中优势菌属结构发生变化,生物炭处理下土壤真菌群落结构与秸秆处理和对照组差异显著. 冗余分析（RDA）表明,土壤真菌群落结构主要受土壤容重、C∶N、盐度和TN影响. 另外,秸秆处理下土壤活性有机碳（LOC）与对照组相比显著增加87.44%（P<0.05）,生物炭处理中土壤可溶性有机碳（DOC）、微生物生物量碳（MBC）较对照组分别显著增加22.27%和23.17%（P<0.05）. 相比于对照组,秸秆处理下碳库活度（L）显著提高（P<0.05）,生物炭处理中碳库指数（CPI）显著增加（P<0.05）. Spearman相关性分析表明土壤活性有机碳组分受到真菌优势菌属的调控. FUNGuild功能预测结果表明,秸秆与生物炭施加后腐生营养型及其兼性营养型真菌对土壤活性有机碳组分和碳库管理指数有着重要影响.     

生物炭和秸秆还田对微咸水滴灌棉田土壤真菌群落结构多样性的影响

微咸水灌溉增加土壤盐分,改变土壤环境,进而影响土壤真菌的结构和多样性.在长期微咸水灌溉的基础上,分别添加生物炭和秸秆（采用等碳量设计,分别为3.7 t·hm^-2和6 t·hm^-2）,探究生物炭和秸秆对土壤理化性质和真菌群落结构多样性的影响.结果表明：与不施生物炭和秸秆（对照）相比,生物炭施用显著增加土壤的pH、全碳、速效钾和速效磷含量,但显著降低土壤电导率,降低幅度为20.71%;秸秆处理显著增加土壤的速效钾和速效磷含量,但显著降低土壤容重和电导率,降低幅度为4.17%和64.50%.生物炭和秸秆处理对真菌群落Chao1指数和ACE指数有增加趋势,对Shannon指数和Simpson指数有降低趋势.土壤优势真菌门类为子囊菌门、被孢霉门、担子菌门、壶菌门和球囊菌门;优势真菌属为毛壳菌属、赤霉菌属、镰刀菌属、Idriella和被孢霉属.施加生物炭和秸秆提高子囊菌门、被孢霉门、担子菌门、球囊菌门和毛壳菌属的相对丰度;但降低壶菌门、赤霉菌属和Idriella的相对丰度.LEfSe分析表明,施用生物炭和秸秆还田降低真菌群落潜在生物标志物数量.RDA结果显示,土壤真菌群落结构与EC_1：5和TN显著相关.微咸水灌溉给土壤带来了不利影响,其中EC_1：5和TN是驱动土壤真菌群落结构变化的主要因子,土壤真菌群落通过生物炭和秸秆对土壤的改良作用来适应盐胁迫环境.     

秸秆连续还田配施化肥对稻-油轮作土壤碳库及作物产量的影响

互花米草入侵对河口湿地土壤真菌群落结构及多样性影响

河口湿地是遭受互花米草入侵的主要区域,为了探究互花米草入侵对河口湿地土壤真菌的影响,以秋茄湿地、芦苇湿地,白骨壤湿地3种典型的湿地为研究对象,借助高通量测序技术对其土壤真菌丰富度及多样性进行分析.结果表明：①白骨壤湿地受到入侵后,土壤盐度、含水量、容重均发生了显著的变化（p<0.05）;②子囊菌门（Ascomycota）相对丰度在互花米草入侵红树林湿地和芦苇湿地后变化均较大,秋茄湿地土壤组织胞浆菌属（Histoplasma）相对丰度降低;芦苇湿地土壤假丝酵母菌属（Pseudeurotium）相对丰度有所增加;③互花米草入侵白骨壤湿地后,土壤真菌多样性升高;互花米草入侵秋茄和芦苇湿地后,土壤真菌多样性降低;④互花米草入侵白骨壤湿地和芦苇湿地后土壤真菌群落结构差异最大;⑤环境因子能够影响湿地土壤中真菌的相对丰度,Talaromyces的相对丰度与土壤盐度呈显著正相关（p<0.01）,Penicillium的相对丰度与土壤含水量呈显著正相关（p<0.01）,Pseudeurotium、Toxicocladosporium与土壤pH呈显著负相关（p<0.01）.本研究可为治理互花米草过程中微生物多样性的保育提供重要的数据支撑.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading bacteria

A study was conducted to compare the diversity of 2-, 3-, and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders in two pristine soils and one contaminated sewage sludge. These samples contained strikingly different populations of mono-chlorobenzoate degraders. Although fewer cultures were isolated in the uncontaminated soils than contaminated one, the ability of microbial populations to mineralize chlorobenzoate was widespread. The 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders were more diverse than the 2-chlorobenzoate degraders. One of the strains isolated from the sewage sludge was obtained. Based on its phenotype, chemotaxonomic properties and 16S rRNA gene, the organism S-7 was classified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. The strain can grow at temperature from 4 to 37℃. It can utilize several （halo）aromatic compounds. Moreover, strain S-7 can grow and use 3-chlorobenzoate as sole carbon source in a temperatures range of 10-30℃ with stoichiometric release of chloride ions. The psychrotolerant ability was significant for bioremediation in low temperature regions. Catechol and chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase activities were present in cell free extracts of the strain, but no （chloro）catechol 2,3- dioxygenase activities was detected. Spectral conversion assays with extracts from R. erythropolis S-7 showed accumulation of a compound with a similar UV spectrum as chloro-cis,cis-muconate from 3-chlorobenzoate. On the basis of these results, we proposed that S-7 degraded 3-chlorobenzoate through the modified ortho-cleave pathway.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
