Electrochemical and spectroscopic characteristics of dissolved organic matter in a forest soil profile

Dissolved organic matter （DOM） represents one of the most mobile and reactive organic compounds in ecosystem and plays an important role in the fate and transport of soil organic pollutants, nutrient cycling and more importantly global climate change. Electrochemical methods were first employed to evaluate DOM redox properties, and spectroscopic approaches were utilized to obtain information concerning its composition and structure. DOM was extracted from a forest soil profile with five horizons. Differential pulse voltammetry indicated that there were more redox-active moieties in the DOM from upper horizons than in that from lower horizons. Cyclic voltammetry further showed that these moieties were reversible in electron transfer. Chronoamperometry was employed to quantify the electron transfer capacity of DOM, including electron acceptor capacity and electron donor capacity, both of which decreased sharply with increasing depth. FT-IR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra results suggested that DOM from the upper horizons was enriched with aromatic and humic structures while that from the lower horizons was rich in aliphatic carbon, which supported the findings obtained by electrochemical approaches. Electrochemical approaches combined with spectroscopic methods were applied to evaluate the characteristics of DOM extracted along a forest soil profile. The electrochemical properties of DOM, which can be rapidly and simply obtained, provide insight into the migration and transformation of DOM along a soil profile and will aid in better understanding of the biogeochemical role of DOM in natural environments.     

Soil microbial community structure and function responses to successive planting of Eucalyptus

Many studies have shown soil degradation after the conversion of native forests to exotic Eucalyptus plantations. However, few studies have investigated the long-term impacts of short-rotation forestry practices on soil microorganisms. The impacts of Eucalyptus successive rotations on soil microbial communities were evaluated by comparing phospholipid fatty acid （PLFA） abundances, compositions, and enzyme activities of native Pinus massoniana plantations and adjacent 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation Eucalyptus plantations. The conversion from P. massoniana to Eucalyptus plantations significantly decreased soil microbial community size and enzyme activities, and increased microbial physiological stress. However, the PLFA abundances formed ＂U＂ shaped quadratic functions with Eucalyptus plantation age. Alternatively, physiological stress biomarkers, the ratios of monounsaturated to saturated fatty acid and Gram＋ to Gram- bacteria, formed ＂∩＂ shaped quadratic functions, and the ratio of cy17：0 to 16： 1ω7c decreased with plantation age. The activities of phenol oxidase, peroxidase, and acid phosphatase increased with Eucalyptus plantation age, while the cellobiobydrolase activity formed ＂U＂ shaped quadratic functions. Soil N：P, alkaline hydrolytic nitrogen, soil organic carbon, and understory cover largely explained the variation in PLFA profiles while soil N：P, alkaline hydrolytic nitrogen, and understory cover explained most of the variability in enzyme activity. In conclusion, soil microbial structure and function under Eucalyptus plantations were strongly impacted by plantation age. Most of the changes could be explained by altered soil resource availability and understory cover associated with successive planting of Eucalyptus. Our results highlight the importance of plantation age for assessing the impacts of plantation conversion as well as the importance of reducing disturbance for plantation management.

模拟氮沉降和CO2浓度增加对三江平原小叶章群落土壤总有机碳和氮素含量的影响

利用开顶气室(Open-Top Chamber,OTC),设置当前大气CO2浓度(370μmol.mol-1)、中等CO2浓度(550μmol.mol-1)和高CO2浓度(700μmol.mol-1)3个CO2浓度水平和不施氮(N1,0g N.m-2.a-1)、常氮(N2,5g N.m-2.a-1)、高氮(N3,10g N.m-2.a-1)3个氮素水平。研究了不同N沉降水平下,大气CO2浓度升高对以三江平原小叶章群落土壤有机碳和氮素含量的影响。结果表明:CO2浓度升高结合氮沉降连续运行两个生长季后,湿地土壤总有机碳含量没有显著变化,说明较短时间内大气CO2浓度升高和氮沉降不会使三江平原土壤有机碳含量产生变化。氮沉降引起各个土层的土壤全氮、铵态氮和硝态氮的含量增加,施氮水平越高土壤氮增加越多,但是全氮增加量不明显,铵态氮随施氮量的增加呈现极显著差异水平(P<0.01)。0～10cm,10～20cm土层土壤全氮、铵态氮的含量随着CO2浓度升高呈现出先增大后减小的趋势。土壤硝态氮含量在10～20cm土层含量变化与土壤全氮、铵态氮的变化趋势相同。说明大气CO2浓度一定程度的增加可以增加土壤的氮素含量,但是过量的大气CO2浓度反而会使得土壤氮素含量减少。

蚂蚁扰动对青海湖北岸高寒草甸草原群落结构影响

蚂蚁的筑丘活动是草地生态系统中不可忽视的生物干扰因子。本文针对青海湖北岸高 寒草甸草原,调查了不同大小的蚁丘及其周围对照草地的土壤理化性质和植被状况。结果表明： 蚂蚁筑丘活动显著地降低了土壤容重和土壤湿度,增加土壤温度,但对土壤pH 值的影响较小。 蚂蚁扰动改变了群落组成,增加了大部分禾本科和豆科物种的重要值而降低了杂类草的重要值。 以莎草科的矮嵩草（Kobresia humilis）和禾本科的异针茅（Stipa aliena Keng）、赖草（Leymus secalinus）、溚草（Koeleria cristata）等为主的群落逐步演替为以禾本科的异针茅和赖草为主的 群落。植物群落的盖度降低但其地上、地下生物量增加;植物群落丰富度指数降低但均匀度指 数增加。
