Biological and geochemical controls on phosphorus fractions in semiarid soils

This study examined the concentration of organic and inorganicphosphorus in surface soils of a Boutelouagracilis-Bouteloua eriopoda grassland, and a Larreatridentata shrubland, in the northern Chihuahuan Desert, NewMexico, U.S.A. In this desert where the grassland vegetation has auniform spatial distribution and individual shrubs have a patchy spatialdistribution across the landscape, vegetation strongly influences thedistribution of soil nutrients. Most studies of soil phosphorusfractions in desert soils have focused primarily on inorganic Pfractions and have demonstrated the importance of geochemical controlson soil P cycling. The research presented here addressed the question ofwhether organic phosphorus, determined by the presence of differentvegetation types, also contributes to soil P cycling. Within soils ofsimilar age, topography, parent material, and climatic regime, sampleswere collected under and between vegetation and analyzed for P fractionsfollowing a modified sequential fractionation scheme. Most soilinorganic P was found in the HCl- and cHCl-extractable forms in both thegrassland and shrubland soils, indicating CaCO₃ control overphosphorus availability. In contrast, most soil organic P was bound toAl and Fe minerals. Labile, plant-available P fractions summed to9.5% of total P in the grassland and 6.1% in theshrubland. Organic P comprised 13.3% of the total phosphorus poolin the grassland and 12.0% in the shrubland. Our results showthat the organic P pool may represent an important, yet oftenoverlooked, source of P in semiarid ecosystems.

Seasonal variation in organic and inorganic phosphorus fractions of temperate-climate sandy soils

Soils from an arable plot, a grassland plot and pasture plot were sampled over an 18-month period. Inorganic (P_i) and organic (P_o) soil phosphorus fractions were extracted sequentially with resin, NaHCO₃, and NaOH. Soil solution was sampled on the arable plot and pasture plot during 12 months with teflon suction cups, and the contents of P_i and P_o were determined.The patterns of the variation for all soil fractions were similar for the three plots. All soil P_i fractions were at minimum in the cool moist winter period. The soil P_o fractions varied less systematically than P_i fractions. The sum of P_o fractions had a winter maximum and a spring minimum. For all soil P fractions temporal variation was highly significant (p<0.0001). The magnitude of change in P_i and P_o soil fractions was 4–40 times greater than what would be expected from the magnitude of new N mineralization.The content of P in the inorganic soil P fractions was negatively correlated with soil moisture. The variation in organic soil P could not be explained by any single factor, but it is suggested that the variation is caused by changes in solubility rather than by biological transformations. Thus, physicochemical processes masked the impact of biological transformations on the temporal variation of soil phosphorus fractions.Both soil solution P_i and P_o varied significantly with time on field scale. In contrast to soil P_i fractions, solution P_i was initially low in the early autumn, increased by a factor 4 during the following 6 weeks, and thereafter decreased to a low level by the end of the sampling period. Soil solution P_o had several fluctuations during the sampling period.     

Distribution of extractable heavy metals in different soil fractions

Abstract

Due to the difficulties of precisely characterizing environmentally contaminated soil, the effects of heavy metals on plants are studied using uncontaminated soil spiked with known quantities of heavy metals. One problem in using spiked soils is how accurately the distribution of metals mimics stabilized natural soils. We studied the distribution of cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc in soil fractions after application in soluble form. The soil samples included a control (an uncontaminated Typic Argiudoll) and two samples spiked with either a moderate or high heavy metal concentration). After application of the salts the soils were subjected to wet/dry cycles over the course of three months. The soils were fractionated using a sequential chemical extraction procedure employing: (1) CaCl₂,(2) NaOH, (3) Na₂EDTA and (4) HNO₃, HCl, and HF. Soil physical separation was carried out by ultrasonic dispersion. The heavy metal levels were determined using ICP-AES. Each heavy metal displayed a unique behavior when added to soil in the form of soluble salts. Cadmium and zinc remained in the soluble fraction, indicating that no equilibrium was attained, while nickel primarily appeared in the insoluble fraction. Chromium, copper and lead were distributed among various soil chemical fractions. The highest levels of all metals appeared in the clay fraction except lead which was mainly present in the silt fraction.     

不同施磷量对春油菜产量和土壤磷素平衡的影响

青海省东部春油菜主产区的土壤速效磷含量高、磷肥施用量大、磷肥利用率低。研究不同施磷量对春油菜的生长、磷素吸收和利用、土壤磷素平衡的影响,可为该地区春油菜田养分高效管理提供科学依据,对保障青藏高原农业可持续发展具有重要意义。本研究于2017和2018年在青海省互助县开展了田间试验,设置0、30、60、90、120 kg P₂O₅·hm^-2 5个磷肥施用量,测定了不同处理春油菜的产量、磷素吸收与利用、籽粒含油率等。结果表明: 2017年施磷量60 kg·hm^-2处理的油菜籽粒产量、成熟期地上部磷素累积量和产油量均显著高于不施磷处理,但施磷量超过60 kg·hm^-2后,籽粒产量和产油量不再增加;2018年施磷量对春油菜籽粒产量、成熟期地上部磷素累积量和产油量均无显著影响。两年度的磷肥表观利用率均很低,平均为6.7%。施用磷肥条件下土壤均有不同程度的磷素盈余,施磷量低于60 kg·hm^-2时盈余量较低。综合考虑春油菜产量、产油量、磷肥表观利用率和土壤磷素表观平衡,在青海省东部春油菜区,推荐施磷量为60 kg·hm^-2。     

A comparison of fractionation methods for forms of phosphorus in soils

We used l6 soils to compare the Hedley method for soil phosphorus fractionation to an alternative method recently developed by Ruttenberg to differentiate among P fractions in marine sediments. For forms of labile and Fe-bound P in soils, these methods were poorly correlated, with the Hedley fractionation showing a greater ability to discriminate among variations in plant-available P. For Ca-bound P, total organic P, and total P, the methods were well correlated (r² = 0.93, 0.48, 0.74, respectively), although the sum of P measured in the Ruttenberg extractions is only 45% of the total P recovered by the Hedley fractionation. The Hedley fractionation seems superior when an index of plant-available phosphorus and a separation of organic and inorganic forms is needed, whereas the Ruttenberg method allows a separation of CaCO₃-bound P from apatite-P, which is potentially useful in calcareous soils.

Plantago lanceolata L. and Rumex acetosella L. differ in their utilisation of soil phosphorus fractions

To establish relationships between soil phosphorus (P) fractions and leaf P, a mycorrhizal species (Plantago lanceolata L.) was compared with a typically non-mycorrhizal species (Rumex acetosella L.) in a glasshouse experiment. The plants were grown in 40 soils from non-fertilised, abandoned pastures or abandoned arable fields and leaf P concentration were found to be related to various soil P fractions after six weeks of growth. The differences in the P fractions in soil can account for a large share of the variation in leaf P concentration in both species, but the two species differed in their utilisation of P fractions. Leaf P concentration of R. acetosella was more related to extractable soil P than that of P. lanceolata. Rumex acetosella showed a higher maximum P concentration. The P fractions accounting for the largest share of the variation in leaf P concentration was the Bray 1 extractable and the weak oxalate (1 mM) extractable P, and for P. lanceolata also the Na₂SO₄+NaF extractable P fraction. P extracted with these methods accounted for up to 80% of the variation in P concentration in leaves of R. acetosella and 65% of the variation in leaves of P. lanceolata. More P extractable with weak oxalate, Na₂SO₄+NaF and strong oxalate (50 mM) was released from the soil than was taken up by the plants during the experimental period. The Bray 1 extractable P fraction, however, decreased in both unplanted and planted soils. Phosphatase release was not induced in any of the plants during the experimental period, indicating that they were not mobilising soil organic P. However, some of the methods extracted a large share of the organic P and still explained much of the variation in leaf P concentration. Mycorrhizal colonisation of P. lanceolata was inversely related to the extractable soil P. The consistently fast P uptake of R. acetosella indicates that this species have a high demand for P. The differences in P utilisation between R. acetosella and P. lanceolata could be caused by their different mycorrhizal status.     

Seasonal changes in inorganic and organic phosphorus in the soil of a riparian forest

This study addresses the temporal distribution of forms of phosphorus in the soil of a temporarily flooded riparian forest of the valley of the river Garonne (Southwest of France). A sequential extraction for forms of phosphorus of increasing chemical stability was used. During the study period (13 months), the forest was flooded a few days during March and May. In winter, resin-Pi concentration was high (26 g g^–1) in comparison to spring values (<9 g g^–1). NaHCO₃-Po, NaHCO₃-Pi or NaOH-Pi concentrations increased during winter (up to 74, 124 and 78 g g^–1 respectively) and decreased significantly during spring (32, 44 and 32 g g^–1 respectively). This pattern was attributed to simultaneous mineralization and plant uptake during the growing season and to the flood events (erosional processes and P-release). During summer and fall, resin-Pi concentration increased significantly (up to 26 g g^–1 in October). NaHCO₃-Po concentrations remained low during spring and summer (<33 g g^–1), and increased significantly in fall (>45 g g^–1 NaHCO₃-Pi or NaOH-Pi increased in late spring or summer (90 g g^–1 and 68 g g^–1 respectively). Increasing concentrations of the labile forms during late spring or summer were ascribed to the warm temperature and soil dryness that limited plant growth. HCl-Pi increased regularly after the floods (174 g g^–1 before the flood events to 254 g g^–1 after the floods). Residual P presented a similar pattern i.e. 214 g g^–1 and 279 g g^–1 respectively before and after the flood events. This pattern was attributed to a progressive incorporation of flood deposits to the soil.     

磷高效利用野生大麦基因型筛选及其根际土壤无机磷组分特征

通过土培盆栽试验,研究了16份野生大麦种质资源在相同供磷水平下磷素吸收利用的基因型差异,探讨磷高效野生大麦根际土壤无机磷组分特征.结果表明：拔节期和扬花期磷素干物质生产效率（CV=11.6%、12.4%）、成熟期磷素籽粒生产效率（CV=13.7%）基因型间差异较大.不同生育时期磷高效基因型IS-22-30和IS-22-25生物量、磷积累量和磷素干物质生产效率均显著高于低效基因型IS-07-07,且高效基因型的籽粒产量分别是低效基因型的3.10和3.20倍.不施磷、施磷30 mg·kg^-1条件下,不同磷素利用效率野生大麦根际土壤有效磷和水溶性磷含量均显著低于非根际土壤,且高效基因型较低效基因型根际土壤水溶性磷亏缺量更大.根际与非根际土壤无机磷组分含量为Ca₁₀-P＞O-P＞Fe-P＞Al-P＞Ca₂-P＞Ca₈-P.在拔节期和扬花期,施磷30 mg·kg^-1条件下,磷高效基因型根际土壤Ca₈-P含量显著高于低效基因型,而Ca₂-P含量显著低于低效基因型;不施磷条件下,高效基因型根际土壤Ca₂-P和Ca₈-P含量均显著高于低效基因型,且根际土壤Ca₁₀-P均减少.施磷30 mg·kg^-1条件下,根际土壤Fe-P和O-P含量均表现为高效基因型显著高于低效基因型,Al-P含量则呈现相反的趋势;不施磷条件下,高效基因型根际土壤Al-P、Fe-P和O-P含量均显著低于低效基因型.低磷胁迫下,高效基因型活化吸收Ca₂-P、Al-P的能力强于低效基因型.     

不同林龄杉木人工林土壤团聚体磷素分布特征

探究不同林龄杉木人工林土壤团聚体各形态磷素的分布特征有利于提升杉木人工林土壤磷素有效性。本研究选取位于广西融水县的幼龄(9 a)、中龄(17 a)、成熟(26 a)杉木人工林和邻近撂荒地(CK),利用干筛法将采集到的表层(0～20 cm)原状土壤分为4个粒级团聚体(>2、1～2、0.25～1和<0.25 mm),测定各粒级团聚体中不同形态磷组分。结果表明: 1)不同林龄杉木人工林土壤团聚体组成差异显著,CK和各林龄杉木人工林中>2 mm粒级团聚体含量显著较高,随林龄的增长先增后减,在17 a时最高;土壤平均重量直径(MWD)和几何平均直径(GMD)的变化趋势与>2 mm粒级团聚体一致。2)CK和各林龄杉木人工林中各粒级土壤团聚体全磷、无机磷和有机磷含量差异均不显著,而土壤有效磷含量在>2 mm粒级团聚体中显著较高,达1.23～7.33 mg·kg^-1;不同林龄杉木人工林土壤团聚体及全土全磷、有效磷和无机磷含量均显著高于CK,并随杉木林龄的增长先增后减,全土总磷和有效磷含量在9 a时最高,分别为322.40和7.33 mg·kg^-1,全土无机磷含量在17 a时最高,为114.05 mg·kg^-1;全土有机磷含量随杉木林龄的增长先增再减再增,在9 a时最高,为210.00 mg·kg^-1。3)不同粒级土壤团聚体磷储量与土壤团聚体组成比例显著相关。CK和各林龄杉木人工林中>2 mm粒级团聚体各形态磷储量较高。除有机磷外,各形态土壤磷储量均随杉木林龄的增长先增后减。综上,林龄17 a之前,杉木人工林的种植有利于提升土壤团聚体稳定性,促进土壤磷素水平的提升;林龄17 a后,>2 mm粒级团聚体的破碎导致土壤团聚体稳定性和土壤磷素供应水平逐渐下降。因此,在杉木人工林培育栽种17 a以后应重视土壤中>2 mm粒级团聚体的保护,以保障土壤质量,维持土壤供磷水平。     

磷肥输入对稻田土壤剖面胶体磷含量的影响

磷肥管理与土壤磷素赋存息息相关,选取杭嘉湖地区典型稻田定位实验,研究磷肥输入下稻田土壤剖面胶体磷含量的变化,分析不同施肥管理下胶体磷在土壤中的分布规律。结果表明,(1)胶体磷是磷素在土壤中赋存的重要形式,能够占到土壤胶体溶液(1μm)总磷的85%以上,土壤全磷的0.1%—2%;(2)磷肥施用增加了土壤胶体磷含量,特别是在有机肥处理下0—5 cm土壤胶体磷含量达到了8.0 mg/kg;(3)随着土壤深度的增加,胶体磷含量减少,有机肥输入下对深层土壤胶体磷含量的影响较无机肥明显;(4)水稻收割后表层土壤胶体磷含量与油菜收割后相比减少明显,0—5 cm土壤胶体磷含量减少了90%左右,但有机肥施用下胶体磷含量减少较小;(5)水稻收割后30—60 cm土壤胶体磷含量有所增加,可能与胶体磷发生的纵向迁移有关。了解磷肥输入对稻田土壤剖面胶体磷含量的影响,为研究土壤磷素赋存形态及迁移变化提供科学依据,对有效评估胶体磷的环境风险起到指导作用。     

Changes in soil phosphorus fractions in a calcareous paddy soil under intensive rice cropping

We conducted a 4-year field experiment on a calcareous paddy soil in Zhejiang province of China to measure the changes in chemically extracted soil P fractions in an irrigated double-cropping rice system. Treatments included four fertilizer combinations (unfertilized control, NK, NP, and NPK) as main-plots and two rice cultivar types (inbred vs. hybrid rice) as sub-plots. Total plant P uptake and grain yield of rice declined in all treatments over time. Severe P-deficiency and significant rice yield losses began in treatments without P application after the second rice crop. Compared to inbred rice, hybrid rice increased grain yield (+18%), N uptake (+11%) and K uptake (+27%) but there was no significant difference in total plant P uptake. Recovery efficiencies of fertilizer-P averaged 31–32% in both cultivars. In treatments without P application, the P mass balance was negative (−6 to −8 kg P ha⁻¹ crop⁻¹) and phosphorus was drawn down in all inorganic P fractions, including resin, alkali- (NaHCO₃-Pi and NaOH-Pi) and acid-soluble P fractions (dilute HCl-P, concentrated HCl-P, residual-P). Only small amounts were removed from organic P fractions, 1–3 mg P kg⁻¹ year⁻¹ from NaHCO₃-Po and none from NaOH-Po. In treatments with fertilizer-P addition, the P mass balance was positive (+8 to 10 kg P ha⁻¹ crop⁻¹), soil P declined at a slower rate in inorganic P fractions and it increased (+51%) in the residual-P fraction. Hybrid rice generally caused greater depletion of inorganic soil P fractions than inbred rice, but there was no difference among cultivars in their effect on NaHCO₃-Po and NaOH-Po. Positive correlations (r = 0.63–0.81, P < 0.001) were observed between all inorganic P fractions (except residual-P) and total P uptake by rice. Our results suggest that rice plants draw P from a continuum of chemically extracted fractions that are assumed to have widely differing plant P availability. Regular P additions are required to maintain the effective soil P supply and differences between inbred and hybrid rice should be taken into account in P management strategies.     

施用生物炭基肥对喀斯特石灰土磷元素特性的影响

以贵州省喀斯特山地石灰土为研究对象,采用盆栽试验方法,研究施用生物炭(稻壳炭)、猪粪堆肥和NPK肥3种肥料制成的生物炭基肥,测定土壤中不同形态磷含量、碱性磷酸酶活性及刺槐幼苗生物量。试验共设10个处理,分别为CK、M、F、MF、RH1MF、RH2MF、RH4MF、RH8MF、RH4M、RH4F(其中CK代表对照,M代表堆肥,F代表化肥,RH代表稻壳炭,数字代表生物炭按炭土质量比计算在生物炭基肥中的配比)。结果表明,施用生物炭基肥可显著提高喀斯特石灰土中总磷、有效磷、有机磷、微生物量磷含量及刺槐幼苗生物量,生物炭高施用量下处理(RH8MF)的效果更好,且4种不同形态的磷含量相互之间呈极显著正相关(P0.01);生物炭中等用量配比下生物炭基肥处理(RH2MF、RH4MF)的土壤碱性磷酸酶活性最高,分别比CK提高82.7%、63.4%。综上所述,施用生物炭基肥,尤其在生物炭较高施用量下,可以显著改善喀斯特石灰土中磷素含量,可改善石灰土中磷素含量较低状况,提高喀斯特山地人工幼林地生态恢复的成效。     

Sediment phosphorus release in phytoplankton dominated versus macrophyte dominated shallow lakes: importance of oxygen conditions

Increased discharges of organic matter from different sources in Morales Stream, one of the main tributaries of the Matanza-Riachuelo River, caused not only an increase in its primary production but also drastic changes in the composition of its sediments, thus favoring eutrophication processes. An in situ study was carried out in order to assess the effects of an organic point source contamination (from intensive cattle rearing) on the sediments of Morales Stream. Surface water and sediment samples were analysed to determine the chemical characteristics of the water–sediment system. The amounts and forms of sediment phosphorus were determined using the `EDTA method' (Golterman, 1996) at two sites of the stream having different nutrient loads. The increase in the organic load of Morales Stream waters influences the dynamics of sediment P, producing two main effects: (1) an increase in the organic matter amount of the sediment that leads to an increase in the amount of P associated to organic fractions, which may be released by bacterial activity under anoxic conditions; and (2) a decrease in the concentration of P in the fraction bound to iron. Morales Stream sediments may act as a potential source of P, which can release this nutrient to water under the reducing conditions originated by uncontrolled discharges of organic residues to this water body.     

三江平原湿地土壤磷形态转化动态

采用Hedley连续浸提法对三江平原湿地小叶章草甸土壤磷形态的季节动态进行研究,分析生长季土壤磷形态之间的相互转化及其可能的驱动机制。结果表明:小叶章草甸土壤有机磷(TPo)总量高于无机磷(TPi),NaOH溶液浸提的无机磷(NaOH-Pi)和有机磷形态(NaOH-Po)分别占总无机磷(TPi)和总有机磷(TPo)比重最大。各无机磷形态均有明显的季节变化,Resin-P和Conc.HCl-Pi季节变异性大,生长结束后含量较初期降低,其他形态无机磷含量有不同程度的升高。有机磷组分中NaOH-Po的季节波动最明显,生长季末期较初期含量降低,其他有机磷形态和Residual-P生长季初、末期含量变化不大,波动也相对较小。TP、TPo季节变化整体趋势相似,二者含量变化达到极显著相关。各无机磷形态变化主要受植物生长节律影响;水分、热量等环境条件也是磷的形态转化的重要驱动因子,并可能间接通过影响土壤动物、微生物等的活性推动土壤磷的循环。小叶章草甸土壤有机磷矿化释放的无机磷通常都首先被土壤金属氧化物固定,再经过无机磷之间的转化过程为生物利用,因此三江平原湿地土壤磷大量释放的可能性很小。     

Effects of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria application on soil phosphorus availability in coal mining subsidence area in Shanxi

The effect of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) application on phosphorus (P) availability in reclaimed soil in coal mining subsidence region was investigated. Seven treatments were carried out including control, chicken manure (CM), PSB, PSB + tricalcium phosphate (TCP), CM?+?TCP, PSB?+?ground phosphate rock (GPR) and CM?+?GPR. The results showed soil Olsen-P concentration and phosphatase level as well as the yield of pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.) were significantly higher in PSB application treatments compared to the corresponding CM application treatments. Soil phosphatase, invertase and urease contents were increased most significantly in PSB treatment, 1.18-, 1.31- and 2.32-fold higher than those in the control, respectively. Soil Ca₂-P, Ca₈-P, Fe-P and Al-P concentrations exhibited the greatest increases in PSB?+?TCP treatment, while occluded-P showed minor changes in different treatments. Application of PSB fertilizer reduced the transformation of Olsen-P to Ca₁₀-P, thus increasing P availability in reclaimed soil of coal mining subsidence area.     

Available soil nitrogen in relation to fractions of soil nitrogen and other soil properties

The available N of 27 soils from England and Wales was assessed from the amounts of N taken up over a 6-month period by perennial ryegrass grown in pots under uniform environmental conditions. Relationships between availability and the distribution of soil N amongst various fractions were then examined using multiple regression. The relationship: available soil N (mg kg^–1 dry soil)=(N_min×0.672)+(N_inc×0.840)+(N_mom×0.227)–5.12 was found to account for 91% of the variance in available soil N, where N_min=mineral N, N_inc=N mineralized on incubation and N_mom=N in macro-organic matter. The N mineralized on incubation appeared to be derived largely from sources other than the macro-organic matter because these two fractions were poorly correlated. When availability was expressed in terms of available organic N as % of soil organic N (N_ao) the closest relationship with other soil characteristics was: N_ao=[N_inc×(1.395–0.0347×CN_mom]+[N_mom×0.1416], where CN_mom=CN ratio of the macro-organic matter. This relationship accounted for 81% of the variance in the availability of the soil organic N.The conclusion that the macro-organic matter may contribute substantially to the available N was confirmed by a subsidiary experiment in which the macro-organic fraction was separated from about 20 kg of a grassland soil. The uptake of N by ryegrass was then assessed on two subsamples of this soil, one without the macro-organic matter and the other with this fraction returned: uptake was appreciably increased by the macro-organic matter.     

不同退耕年限下菜子湖湿地土壤磷素组分特征变化

选取菜子湖区不同退耕年限(2、5、8、10a和20a)湿地为研究对象,以仍耕作油菜地和原始湿地为参照,分析了土壤全磷(TP)、有效磷(AP)、有机磷(OP)和无机磷(IP)各形态含量,探讨退耕还湖后湿地土壤磷素组分特征变化规律。结果表明:研究区土壤无机磷各形态含量大小顺序为:铁磷(Fe-P:73.55—391.76 mg/kg)钙磷(Ca-P:21.64—108.04 mg/kg)闭蓄态磷(O-P:17.15—29.57 mg/kg)铝磷(Al-P:5.84—25.97 mg/kg),其中Fe-P占了土壤无机磷总量的54.20%—74.13%;退耕还湖2—8a期间,湿地土壤Al-P、Fe-P和O-P含量有逐渐降低趋势,而退耕8—20a后逐渐上升,以Fe-P为主的这3形态磷左右着退耕后土壤无机磷的变化;Ca-P随退耕年限增加整体呈上升趋势,对土壤无机磷的贡献逐渐增加;无机磷占土壤全磷的比例为35.90%—67.27%,主导着退耕后湿地土壤全磷变化;有机磷占土壤全磷的17.82%—50.51%,在退耕2a后下降,随后开始逐渐上升,对退耕后湿地土壤磷库恢复的贡献逐渐增加;其中Fe-P、O-P和Al-P控制着退耕后土壤磷素有效性变化。退耕后水文条件、植被生长和土壤黏粒含量变化不仅影响退耕后湿地土壤磷素组分特征,也影响着退耕后湿地土壤磷素有效性。
