潮土农田微生物研究进展

Research progresses of farmland microorganisms in fluvo-aquic soil of China

  • 摘要: 土壤微生物对不同施肥的响应和反馈对于评价和解释科学施肥具有极为重要的意义。本文总结了本课题组在我国华北平原潮土碳、氮、磷循环相关微生物对不同施肥, 特别是对单施有机肥的响应方面的研究结果, 明确了潮土地力提升过程中的微生物学机制。长期定位试验研究结果表明, 长期平衡施肥, 特别是施用有机肥能够显著增加潮土中有机碳和养分含量, 特别是磷含量, 进而改变土壤微生物群落结构, 提高微生物生物量碳、转化酶活性、呼吸强度及微生物功能多样性(碳代谢活性), 并且土壤微生物代谢熵与代谢热显著降低。相反, 在缺素特别是缺磷条件下, 土壤微生物不仅代谢效率低下, 而且代谢过程会散逸相对多的热量、排放相对多的CO2, 导致土壤质量明显下降。长期施用氮肥可增强潮土硝化酶活性、增加氨氧化细菌的数量和多样性, 且无机氮肥比有机氮肥影响更显著; 但是, 科学施用氮肥的前提是必须合理地添加磷肥, 才能更好地促进潮土作物生长、减少氮素损失和提升土壤地力。对于缺磷的潮土, 长期施用磷肥, 尤其是平衡施肥使得作物对菌根真菌(AMF)依赖性下降, 进而导致土壤中AMF多样性下降, 更多的土壤养分分配给其他微生物, 有利于潮土农田地力的可持续性。潮土中一种土著微生物Bacillus asahii对长期施用有机肥的响应最为显著,; 该物种需要2~4 a会成为潮土中优势微生物, 其有着独特的生理特征和丰富的代谢多样性, 能够加速和促进其他微生物对潮土有机质累积和磷素循环过程的作用, 在作物生长和土壤地力中起到“领军性”的作用。以上认知加深了对长期施用有机肥提升华北平原潮土地力过程中微生物学机制的认识, 有助于指导调控土壤微生物更好地服务农田生态系统。

     

    Abstract: Responses and feedbacks of soil microorganism to fertilization areis important to the evaluation of fertilization effect and establishment of scientific fertilization management. The paper summarized the research results of author’s team in effect of long-term fertilizations, especially single application of organic fertilizer, on soil microorganisms related to the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in fluvo-aquic soil. The microbial mechanisms of soil fertility enhancement were also discussed in the paper. The results indicated that for the fluvo-aquic soil in the North China Plain, long term balanced fertilization, especially long term organic fertilization, increased soil contents of organic carbon and other nutrients, the effect was more obvious on soil phosphorus content. This, furthermore, improved soil microorganism community structure, and enhanced soil microbial biomass carbon content, invertase activity, respiration rate and microbial function diversity (carbon metabolic activity), while significantly decreased metabolic quotient and metabolic heat of soil microorganisms. On the contrary, nutritional deficiency, especially phosphorus deficiency, not only decreased metabolic efficiency, but also induced more heat dissipation and CO2 emission during metabolism of soil microorganisms, which finally decreased soil quality. Long-term application of nitrogen fertilizer enforced soil nitrification activity, and increased amount and diversity of ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Inorganic nitrogen fertilizer was more effective than organic nitrogen fertilizer. In phosphorus-deficient fluvo-aquic soil, rational phosphorus fertilization was essential precondition of scientific application of nitrogen fertilization to promote crop growth and soil fertility, reduce nitrogen loss. Long-term application of phosphorus fertilizer, and balanced fertilization lowered the dependence of crop growth on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), decreased soil AMF diversity and induced differentiation of AMF, which benefited the sustainability of phosphorus-deficient fluvo-aquic soil. An indigenous microorganism of fluvo-aquic soil, Bacillus asahii with unique physiological characteristics and abundant metabolic diversity significantly responded to long-term organic fertilization, and could develop to the dominant species during two to four years. B. asahii could accelerated other microorganisms in the process of organic matter accumulation and phosphorus recycle in fluvo-aquic soil, played a leading role on crop growth and soil fertility increase. The result was favored for understanding the microbial mechanism of effect of long-term organic fertilization on soil fertility improvement in the North China Plain, and for adjusting soil microorganism to serve farmland ecosystem.
