不同生态型蚯蚓对有机茶园土壤真菌群落结构及多样性的影响

Effects of different ecological type earthworm on soil fungal community structure and diversity in an organic tea plantation

  • 摘要: 茶龄老化、茶园地力退化和土壤生物多样性差等已成为制约有机茶产量及品质的重要因素。本研究在有机茶园接种了不同类型蚯蚓, 并探讨了不同生态型蚯蚓对有机茶园土壤真菌群落组成的影响。试验共设置4个处理: 接种密度为300条·m−2的赤子爱胜蚓Eisenia fetida (E), 接种密度为100条·m−2的威廉腔环蚓Metaphire guillelmi (P), 同时接种密度为150条·m−2的赤子爱胜蚓和密度为50条·m−2的威廉腔环蚓(EP), 未接种蚯蚓(CK); 通过高通量测序研究土壤真菌群落组成及多样性。结果表明: 接种蚯蚓处理(E、P和EP处理)显著增加了土壤真菌Operational Taxonomic Units (OTU)个数, 优势OTU个数从100增至269。接种蚯蚓增加了土壤真菌群落的α多样性, Shannon、Simpson和Fisher多样性指数均有所提高(P<0.05)。子囊菌门(Ascomycota)和担子菌门(Basidiomycota)是茶园土壤真菌优势类群, 接种单一类型蚯蚓的处理(E和P处理)中, Ascomycota进一步增加, 双蚯蚓处理(EP处理)中略有减少。EP处理中, 被孢霉门(Mortierellomycota)相对丰度最高, 约为10.16%; 木孢目(Xylariales)相对丰度增加最多, 增至29.43%; 出现更多未知真菌, 其比例增至29.61%, 种群均匀性最好。与常规有机茶园相比, 接种蚯蚓可以在降低腐生营养型真菌相对丰度的同时, 促进病理-腐生-共生过渡型营养型真菌的生长; 接种单一类型蚯蚓的处理(E和P处理)还可以增加病理型营养菌的生长; EP处理可以减少专性腐生菌, 促进病理腐生共生营养菌生长及腐生共生过渡型营养菌的生长, 减少病理型营养菌。由此可见, 蚯蚓物种之间的相互促进作用胜过竞争, 混合接种不同生态型蚯蚓有助于控制潜在的病原体, 从而为改善有机茶园土壤生物多样性, 提升土壤质量提供可持续发展的方案。

     

    Abstract: The aging of tea trees, degradation of soil fertility in tea gardens and poor soil biodiversity have become important factors limiting the yield and quality of organic tea. Earthworms play an important part in the regulation of soil ecosystem services. Introduction of two widely reared earthworm species as pioneers was tested through field experiment in a tea plantation of China. Field experiment was aimed to explore the effects of inoculation of different ecological types of earthworms on soil fungal community in organic tea gardens. Four treatments were set up, including: Eisenia fetida inoculation (300·m−2) (E), Metaphire guillelmi inoculation (100·m−2) (P), simultaneous inoculation of Eisenia fetida (150·m−2) and Metaphire guillelmi (50·m−2) (EP); control treatment (CK). The soil fungal community was investigated through high throughput sequencing. Results showed that the community structure and functional groups of soil fungi changed significantly. The inoculation of earthworms significantly increased the number of Operational Taxonomic Unit in soil fungi, and the number of dominant OTU increased from 100 to 269. Inoculating earthworms increased the α diversity of soil fungal community, Shannon, Simpson, and Fisher index have increased as well (P<0.05). Ascomycota and basidiomycota are dominant fungal groups in tea garden soil. Ascomycota further increased in single earthworm treatment and slightly decreased in double earthworm treatment. Under EP treatment, the highest relative abundance of mortierellomycota was 10.16%, while the highest relative abundance of xylariales increased to 29.43%. EP treatment showed the best population uniformity, more unknown fungi appeared with a proportion of 29.61%. Xylariales can decompose litter decomposition. From this, it can be seen that EP treatment exhibits stronger ability to decompose dead branches and leaves than the single earthworm inoculation treatment, which is more beneficial for increasing soil nutrients in organic tea gardens. Compared with conventional organic tea gardens, inoculation with earthworms reduces the content of saprotrophic while improving the growth of pathotroph-saprotroph-symbiotroph. However, single earthworm introduction provoked the growth of pathotrophs, especially those that were facultatively saprotrophic and symbiotrophic. EP treatment not only reduced the specific saprophytic and promoted the growth of facultative saprophytic, but also significantly increased the proportion of saprotrophic and symbiotrophic community and reduced the growth of pathotrophs. Reduce the relative abundance of pathogenic fungi commonly in organic tea gardens, such as Fusarium, which are prone to canker disease. Generally, in biologically and physically degraded soil systems, mutual promotion between earthworm species over competition. The introduction of both earthworm species showed an effect of pathogen control. Mixing inoculation with different ecological types of earthworms can help control potential pathogens, providing a sustainable solution for improving soil biodiversity and enhancing soil quality in organic tea gardens. Inoculating earthworms is an effective and feasible ecological measure to improve soil quality in organic tea gardens.
