Soil temperature and moisture sensitivities of soil CO2 e ux before and after tillage in a wheat field of Loess Plateau, China

As a conventional farming practice, tillage has lasted for thousands of years in Loess Plateau, China. Although recent studies show that tillage is a prominent culprit to soil carbon loss in croplands, few studies have investigated the influences of tillage on the responses of soil CO2 e ux (SCE) to soil temperature and moisture. Using a multi-channel automated CO2 e ux chamber system, we measured SCE in situ continuously before and after the conventional tillage in a rain fed wheat field of Loess Plateau, China. The changes in soil temperature and moisture sensitivities of SCE, denoted by the Q10 value and linear regression slope respectively, were compared in the same range of soil temperature and moisture before and after the tillage. The results showed that, after the tillage, SCE increased by 1.2–2.2 times; the soil temperature sensitivity increased by 36.1%–37.5%; and the soil moisture sensitivity increased by 140%–166%. Thus, the tillage-induced increase in SCE might partially be attributed to the increases in temperature and moisture sensitivity of SCE.     

Elevated atmospheric CO2 and drought effects on leaf gas exchange properties of barley

Atmospheric CO₂ concentration (C_a) is rising, predicted to cause global warming, and alter precipitation patterns. During 1994, spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Alexis) was grown in a strip-split-plot experimental design to determine the effects that the main plot C_a treatments [A: Ambient at 370 μmol (CO₂) mol⁻¹; E: Enriched with free-air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) at ∼550 μmol (CO₂) mol⁻¹] had on several gas exchange properties of fully expanded sunlit primary leaves. The interacting strip-split-plot irrigation treatments were Dry or Wet [50% (D) or 100% (W) replacement of potential evapotranspiration] at ample nitrogen (261 kg N ha⁻¹) and phosphorous (29 kg P ha⁻¹) fertility. Elevated C_a facilitated drought avoidance by reducing stomatal conductance (g_s) by 34% that conserved water and enabled stomata to remain open for a longer period into a drought. This resulted in a 28% reduction in drought-induced midafternoon depression in net assimilation rate (A). Elevated C_a increased A by 37% under Dry and 23% under Wet. Any reduction in A under Wet conditions occurred because of nonstomatal limitations, whereas under Dry it occurred because of stomatal limitations. Elevated C_a increased the diurnal integral of A (A′) that resulted in an increase in the seasonal-long integral of A′ (A″) for barley leaves by 12% (P = 0.14) under both Dry and Wet - 650, 730, 905 and 1020 ± 65 g (C) m⁻² y⁻¹ for AD, ED, AW and EW treatments, respectively. Elevated C_a increased season-long average dry weight (DW_S; crown, shoots) by 14% (P = 0.02), whereas deficit irrigation reduced DW_S by 7% (P = 0.06), although these values may have been affected by a short but severe pea aphid [Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris)] infestation. Hence, an elevated-C_a-based improvement in gas exchange properties enhanced growth of a barley crop.     

秸秆还田下不同追氮量对麦田土壤真菌群落结构和生态网络的影响

秸秆还田和肥料施用是农田土壤养分输入的主要来源,秸秆还田条件下配合适宜的化肥施用量能够在环境友好的前提下为作物生产提供必要的营养.为明确秸秆还田条件下不同追氮量对麦田土壤真菌群落的影响,从土壤生态功能角度评估冬小麦氮肥管理措施的合理性.在秸秆全量还田基施氮肥150 kg·hm^-2基础上,多年定位设置5个追氮量(0、 37.5、 75、 112.5和150 kg·hm^-2)处理,采用实时荧光定量PCR和高通量测序技术分析冬小麦成熟期土壤真菌群落丰度、多样性、结构和生态网络,探讨驱动土壤真菌群落变化的主要土壤理化因子.结果表明,和不追施氮肥和低追氮量处理相比,高追氮量处理增加了土壤全氮和无机氮含量,降低了土壤pH值、全磷、有效磷和速效钾含量.和不追施氮肥处理相比,追氮量37.5～150 kg·hm^-2处理显著增加了土壤真菌群落丰度(P<0.05),而追施氮肥各处理间差异未达显著水平(P>0.05).土壤真菌群落Heip指数和Shannon指数随追氮量的增加逐渐降低,追氮量150 kg·hm^-2     

近20年江苏省气温和降水资源变化对稻麦生产的影响

利用数理统计及非线性回归模型等方法,探求江苏省近20 a气温和降水资源变化对稻麦生产的影响。结果表明:近20 a平均温度(Tavg)、最高温度(Tmax)和最低温度(Tmin)年增加趋势为0.050℃、0.056℃和0.061℃,降水量(Prec)变化不明显。在近年气候变暖下,冬小麦全生育期和营养生长期呈显著缩短趋势(p<0.05),分别年缩短0.41 d和0.70 d,而生殖生长期年显著延长0.32d(p<0.05)。冬小麦营养生长期和全生育期长短与该时段Tavg、Tmax和Tmin呈显著负相关(p<0.05)。水稻生育期长短变化不大,呈现整体向后推移趋势。2000s与1990s相比,冬小麦生育期缩短,而冬小麦和水稻播期均推迟,因此麦-稻换茬时间延长5 d,稻-麦换茬时间减少3 d。近20 a稻麦产量均呈增加趋势,稻麦周年产量每年极显著增加85.5 kg/hm²(p<0.01)。利用非线性模型分析表明,Tavg、Tmax和Tmin每增加1℃稻麦周年单产分别增产0.47%、0.10%和1.92%,主要是因为冬小麦产量增加幅度大于水稻减产幅度。为合理利用气候资源,可考虑推迟冬小麦播种,防止其冬前旺长。选育晚熟耐高温水稻品种,促进水稻生殖生长,提高产量。     

磷石膏对麦田CO2排放和小麦产量的影响及其经济环境效益分析

磷石膏是一种可以利用的磷化工废渣,本文以磷石膏为麦田温室气体减排剂,研究磷石膏对小麦生长、麦田温室气体二氧化碳(CO2)排放的影响,并分析磷石膏资源化利用的经济环境效益.结果表明,在常规施肥条件下,增施磷石膏2 100kg·hm-2能显著促进小麦生长,增产达37.71%.磷石膏对麦田CO2的减排作用在小麦生长的各个时期有所不同:施用磷石膏1 050 kg·hm-2处理,在小麦生长拔节期、抽穗期和灌浆期对麦田CO2的减排效果较为明显,相比对照分别减少8%、10%和6%;在整个小麦生长季累计减少CO2排放3%;施用磷石膏2 100 kg·hm-2处理,在小麦越冬返青期、拔节期和抽穗期,相比对照减少CO2排放11%、4%和12%,在小麦生长季累计减少CO2排放7%.磷石膏施用量较大的处理对CO2的抑制和减排效果较好.研究还表明在施用磷石膏的情况下,一定范围内,CO2的排放强度(单位鲜重CO2排放与单位产量CO2排放)与小麦穗长、鲜重和产量呈现显著负相关:即穗长越长,鲜重和产量越大,CO2的排放效率越低.在碳交易背景下,磷石膏资源化利用具有较高的经济和环境效益,主要体现在:与对照相比,投入/产出从1∶8.3变为1∶10.7,即在相同投入的情况下可提高28.92%的产出;每吨磷石膏作为麦田温室气体减排剂,可节省治理环境的费用与增产总额合计约290元.废渣磷石膏资源化利用,不仅可以减少环境污染、促进小麦生长,而且可以减少CO2排放,对发展低碳农业、生态农业以及可持续发展农业具有重要应用价值.     

The deployment of γ-irradiation for reducing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and microbial load in wheat kernels

Food contamination may contribute to serious human health problems. In this work, the effect of γ-irradiation 0, 5, 10, and 15 kGy doses on the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from wheat kernels was investigated. Additionally, variations in the contents of 16 congeners on bacterial load and other chemical parameters were studied. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography followed by fluorescence detection. The effects of γ-irradiation on the concentrations varied for each congener, with the highest irradiation dose being the most effective. Benzo[a]pyrene was reduced by ～50%, and the total concentration of all congeners decreased dramatically from 154 to 21 µg.kg^?1 upon 15 kGy irradiation at a dose rate of 8.49 kGy h^?1. The total bacterial load was reduced from 2.4 to < 1 log₁₀ cfu g^?1, while wheat chemical properties were not affected.     

秸秆还田下晚播稻茬麦适宜施氮量研究

研究了前荏水稻秸秆全量还田条件下,不同施氮水平(0、90、180、270和360 kg·hm-2)对晚播小麦土壤矿质氮积累、秸秆氮释放、氮素平衡特征和产量的影响.结果表明,基肥施用提高了越冬期0～ 30 cm土壤矿质氮量,追施氮肥提高了开花期0～15 cm土壤矿质氮量.施氮量高于180 kg· hm-2时会造成小麦成熟后土壤矿质氮量的显著增加.氮平衡分析结果表明,小麦全生育期氮素净矿化量为48 kg· hm-2;随施氮水平的增加,秸秆氮释放量、植株氮积累量、土壤矿质氮残留量和氮表观损失量均随之增加;N90、N180、N270和N360处理氮表观损失率分别为27.9％、37.6％、43.2％和47.6％;N90处理损失量以播种至越冬期最高,其余处理均以开花至成熟期最高.适量增施氮肥有利于提高籽粒产量,但施氮量若超过180 kg·hm-2,增产效果则不显著.综合考虑,水稻秸秆全量还田条件下氮肥施用量为180 kg·hm-2有利于兼顾晚播小麦生产和生态效益.     

土壤多功能性对微生物多样性降低的响应

土壤微生物群落在驱动多种生态系统功能和生态过程中发挥着重要作用,是维持生物地球化学循环的主要驱动力.鉴于全球背景下观察到土壤微生物多样性随着土地利用集约化、气候变化而降低的现象,对土壤微生物多样性的减少是否会对土壤多功能性产生影响进行调查显得尤为重要.利用稀释灭绝法构建土壤微生物多样性梯度,结合高通量测序等技术手段,探究细菌、真菌和原生生物多样性降低对土壤多功能性的影响.结果表明,与未灭菌土壤相比,稀释处理土壤微生物α多样性（丰富度指数和香农指数）显著降低.主坐标分析（PCoA）表明,未灭菌土壤微生物群落结构与稀释处理土壤存在显著分异,而且细菌和真菌群落对稀释处理的响应高于原生生物.回归模型显示,土壤多功能性与微生物多样性指标呈显著的负线性关系,表明土壤微生物群落变化是调节土壤多功能性的关键因素.其次,通过集成推进树（ABT）和回归模型预测分析发现,一些特定的微生物类群如真菌短柄菌属（Solicoccozyma）、瓦湖胶珊瑚菌（Holtermanniella）和细菌属Rudaea相对丰度与土壤多功能性显著负相关,说明关键微生物类群在生物过程中发挥了指示性作用.进一步通过结构方程模型揭示,细菌、真菌和原生生物多样性都对土壤多功能性存在直接或间接影响,其中细菌是驱动土壤多功能性变化的关键生物因子.研究为土壤微生物多样性对土壤多功能性的影响提供了试验证据,并认为在单一农业生态系统中维持一定的土壤微生物群落多样性,特别是关键微生物类群的多样性对未来生态系统功能的可持续发展具有重要意义.     

Spatiotemporal patterns and other impacting factors on wheat production of Tibet,China北大核心CSCD

Wheat is the second-largest food crop in Tibet, China. Along with economic development, the pattern of wheat production in Tibet has changed dramatically, potentially affecting the balance of grain supply and demand, as well as food security. A clear understanding of the spatiotemporal patterns and other factors affecting wheat production can provide a necessary basis for the scientific management and efficient production of wheat. Based on the wheat yield from 1990 to 2020 in 74 county-level units of Tibet, this study analyzed the spatial and temporal change patterns of Tibetan wheat production and its impacting factors using the Gini coefficient, center of gravity move method, advantage index, exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), and geographically weighted regression model (GWR). Results showed that: (1) the total wheat production in Tibet rose from 1990 to 1999, fluctuated, and then decreased from 1999 to 2020. The production areas are mainly concentrated in the southern Tibetan Valley and counties in the Three Rivers region of eastern Tibet. (2) The spatial distribution and agglomeration pattern of wheat in Tibet is relatively stable, and the production center shows a slight fluctuation trend from west to east during the 1990-2020 time period. (3) Based on the comprehensive advantage index (CAI), Tibet’s wheat production in advantaged areas, slightly advantaged areas, slightly disadvantaged areas, and disadvantaged areas accounted for 13.5%, 8.1%, 9.5%, and 40.5% of the total production, respectively; indicating that the regional distribution of CAI exhibits spatial agglomeration rather than sporadic distribution. The patterns are HH (high-high), LH (low-high), and random; 29 hot spots are mainly distributed in Lhasa, Shannan, and Nyingchi, while the cold spots are mainly distributed in Xigazê and Ngari; and (4) the impacting factors on Tibet’s wheat production mainly include effective irrigation areas and agricultural mechanization level as positive factors, and regional gross agricultural product as the main negative factor. In addition, rainfall, other grain output, livestock inventory at the end of the year, and the number of non-primary industries also have an impact on wheat production. Wheat planting area in Tibet has been declining in recent years, thus exhibiting a significant pattern of spatial agglomeration. The three dominant factors affecting the emerging spatiotemporal pattern of wheat production in Tibet are the irrigation condition, mechanization, and local economic development levels. Based on the above conclusions, the study suggests building a high-yield wheat area consistent with local conditions by strictly protecting arable land, improving irrigation conditions, and increasing machinery investment. Depending on the counties of high-yield areas, Tibetan farmers and herders should cultivate the bases of wheat production and build a wheat base for local wheat consumption. © 2022 Science Press.
