Effect of petroleum on decomposition of shrub–grass litters in soil in Northern Shaanxi of China

The impacts of petroleum contamination on the litter decomposition of shrub–grass land would directly influence nutrient cycling, and the stability and function of ecosystem. Ten common shrub and grass species from Yujiaping oil deposits were studied. Litters from these species were placed into litterbags and buried in petroleum-contaminated soil with 3 levels of contamination (slight, moderate and serious pollution with petroleum concentrations of 15, 30 and 45 g/kg, respectively). A decomposition experiment was then conducted in the lab to investigate the impacts of petroleum contamination on litter decomposition rates. Slight pollution did not inhibit the decomposition of any litters and significantly promoted the litter decomposition of Hippophae rhamnoides, Caragana korshinskii, Amorpha fruticosa, Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa, Periploca sepium, Medicago sativa and Bothriochloa ischaemum. Moderate pollution significantly inhibited litter decomposition of M. sativa, Coronilla varia, Artemisia vestita and Trrifolium repens and significantly promoted the litter decomposition of C. korshinskii, Z. jujuba var. spinosa and P. sepium. Serious pollution significantly inhibited the litter decomposition of H. rhamnoides, A. fruticosa, B. ischaemum and A. vestita and significantly promoted the litter decomposition of Z. jujuba var. spinosa, P. sepium and M. sativa. In addition, the impacts of petroleum contamination did not exhibit a uniform increase or decrease as petroleum concentration increased. Inhibitory effects of petroleum on litter decomposition may hinder the substance cycling and result in the degradation of plant communities in contaminated areas.     

黄河三角洲不同淹水条件下芦苇和盐地碱蓬凋落物的分解与重金属归还特征

以黄河三角洲芦苇（Phragmites australis）和盐地碱蓬（Suaeda salsa）的凋落物为研究对象,研究不同淹水条件下芦苇和盐地碱蓬凋落物的分解与重金属的归还特征。结果表明：两种淹水条件下,盐地碱蓬凋落物的失重率均高于芦苇凋落物;潮汐淹水条件下芦苇和盐地碱蓬凋落物的失重率均高于短暂淹水处理。在两种淹水条件下,经过分解后芦苇凋落物中As、Cr和Cu的含量增加,潮汐淹水条件下芦苇凋落物的各金属含量均高于短期淹水处理。盐地碱蓬凋落物经过分解后,各重金属含量总体上呈上升变化趋势,潮汐淹水条件下的盐地碱蓬凋落物中As、Cu和Pb的含量均高于短期淹水处理。两种淹水条件下芦苇和盐地碱蓬凋落物中的Pb和Zn,在分解期间均发生了不同程度的释放。研究结果有助于理解潮汐作用对黄河三角洲芦苇和盐地碱蓬凋落物分解和重金属归还的影响。     

Multivariate statistical analysis of the response of forest litters to atmospheric pollution

The effect of atmospheric discharge from the Pechenganikel' Integrated Plant, the main source of sulfur dioxide in northern Europe, on changes in acidity and cation exchange properties of forest litters formed on podzol soils was estimated in forest ecosystems at the northern limit of their range. As the plant is approached, the contents of exchangeable potassium and acidity proved to decrease, whereas the contents of nickel and copper increased by two orders of magnitude and reached one-quarter of the total cation exchange capacity. The multivariate analysis of spatial interrelations revealed the natural structure of litter properties, including those concerning exchangeable bases, pollutants, and parameters of acidity.     

水分及凋落物对若尔盖泥炭土CH4排放的影响

通过野外采样和室内培养试验,设置了饱和水分(100％田间持水量)、非饱和水分(60％田间持水量)和干湿交替处理3种土壤水分条件,以及添加和未添加凋落物2种处理,研究了若尔盖泥炭土CH4排放对不同土壤水分条件以及凋落物添加的响应.结果表明,不同土壤水分条件和凋落物添加及其交互作用对泥炭土CH4排放均有显著影响.相对于非饱和土壤水分,干湿交替促进了泥炭土CH4排放,而在持续的饱和水分条件下,泥炭土CH4排放量最高.凋落物添加促进了泥炭土CH4排放速率和累积排放量.饱和水分条件下,泥炭土CH4排放对凋落物添加响应最为迅速,干湿交替次之,非饱和水分条件下的响应最慢.     

科尔沁沙地不同水分条件下植物叶凋落物CO2释放研究

采用可以有效控制环境因子的室内土壤培养试验,对固定沙地土壤不同水分作用下叶凋落物释放CO2的情况进行了初步研究。结果表明：土壤CO2的释放量及凋落物的分解均与土壤干湿情况相关。在添加凋落物与不添加凋落物的处理中,培养前4天的低含水条件下CO2释放速率与中高含水处理相比差异均呈极显著,而4天以后不同水分条件下的释放速率无显著差异。在沙地中,土壤过于湿润或干旱均能够阻碍凋落物的分解。     

草地枯落物分解研究进展及展望

草地枯落物是草地生态系统中生物组分枯死后所有有机物质的总称,是草地生态系统重要的组成部分,是除冠层外,大气与矿质土壤层、植物根系层进行物质与能量交换的另一介质,在生态学中起着不可替代的作用。随着西部大开发战略和退耕还林还草工程的实施,大型家畜等草食性动物退出草地生态系统后,枯落物成为草地生态系统物质和能量循环的重要调节枢纽。近年来,随着全球应对气候变化、节能减排和低碳经济所面临的压力,作为全球碳循环的重要组成部分,草地枯落物的研究被越来越多的学者所重视。文章在综述国内外大量文献的基础上,对草地枯落物的概念进行了比较分析,对其进行了准确定义;归纳出了尼龙网袋法、室内分解培养法、现量估算法和同位素法等多种草地枯落物分解方法,并就枯落物分解过程中经常采用的分解率概算模型、时间衰减模型、影响因子关系模型等进行了比较分析,总结出枯落物的分解是由淋溶、自然粉碎和代谢等3个主要作用,碎屑食物链、腐食食物链等2种不同的食物链共同组成的复杂过程。开展长期定位监测、形成统一的研究方法,探索枯落物分解过程中碳循环微观机理,以及影响因子之间的交互作用是未来草地枯落物研究工作的重点。
