Abstract:
Rhizosphere is the densely populated area of the soil where plant roots must compete with invading root systems of neighboring plants and soil-borne microorganisms including bacteria,fungi and insects that feed on organic materials for space,water,and mineral nutrients. Interactions within the rhizosphere are based on complex exchanges involving surrounding plant roots and are highly influenced by edaphic factors. However,below-ground biological interactions that are driven by root exudates are more complex than above-ground interactions. Increasing evidence suggests that root exudates act as information transmitter in the interaction process between plants and their environment and thus play an important active role in root-root and root-microbe communication. In this paper, previous studies are vividly reviewed and the direction of future research disscused.

2007, 15(4): 9-12.
Abstract(1298) PDF(953)
Abstract:
This paper examines ionic concentration of pollutants in air precipitation,through fall, stem flow and surface runoff of coniferous, broad-leaved forests and bare land. Results indicate that ionic concentration of different pollutants in air precipitation is in the following order:SO42->NO3->Cl->F-;ionic concentration in throughfall and stem flow of coniferous forest and broad-leaved forest is significantly higher than that in air precipitation. Similarly, total ion in throughfall and stem flow is higher for the coniferous forest than for the broad-leaved forest.In both types of forest, SO42- concentration in the pollutants is higher than the other ions, suggesting a higher dissolution of SO2and acid depositions. These observations further show that “forests are filters of air pollutants”though the extent to which filtering occurs is a function of forest type.

2007, 15(4): 13-17.
Abstract(1214) PDF(1013)
Abstract:
Niche breadth, niche similarity proportion and niche overlap of 23 undergrowth populations of Platycladus orientalis and Robinia pseudoacacia community were analyzed. Results show that niche breadthes of Oplismenus undulati-folius, Vitex negundo, Grewia biloba and Carex duriuscula are relatively wider than those of the other species, while regenerated seedlings of Platycladus orientalis and Robinia pseudoacacia own narrower niche breadth. Niche similarity proportion and niche overlap of the 23 undergrowth populations are relatively smaller, indicating that competition for environmental resources is not fierce among the different populations. Thus niche differentiation can be enhanced by improving planting arrangement.

2007, 15(4): 18-21.
Abstract(937) PDF(915)
Abstract:
Low-lying wet-grasslands characterized both as grasslands and wetlands possess irreplaceable ecological functions in the inner river basins of Northwest China. Bowen-Ratio Energy Balance( BREB)method was used to calculate evapotranspiration(ET) based on meteorological data from low-lying wet-grassland in the middle reach of the Heihe River basin in Hexi Corridor. Results reveal that ET rate for the period 2003 to 2004 for the wet-grassland is 611.5mm/a and 1.67mm/d. ET varies with different growth stages, with 0.57mm/d in No Growth Stage(NGS), 2.01mm/d in Initial Growth Stage(IGS), 3.82mm/d in Middle Growth Stage (MGS) and 1.49mm/d in End Growth Stage (EGS). ET for the four growth stages mentioned above respectively accounts for 18.26%, 9.20%, 61.83% and 10.71% of the total a nnual ET. In March, ET begins to increase, and with the growth of grass in June, it increases sharply, reaching its maximum in July. After July, ET decreases gradually. In Sept., ET decreases rapidly and stops at EGS in mid Nov., which happens at the freezing of the soil until Feb. of the following year. Hourly ET analysis shows that evapotranspiration begins at 7:00(for MGS) or 8:00(for EGS), and rises to a maximum value at 13:00, then finally ends at 19:00(for EGS) or 20:00(for MGS). ET intensity on sunny days is always much higher than that on cloudy days for the same growth stage.

2007, 15(4): 22-25.
Abstract(1023) PDF(997)
Abstract:
The trend of temperature inversion on fine nights and no-fine nights was discussed. Results indicate that when freezing hazard happens in hilly areas on fine nights, with hoist of relative slope of observation point the temperature difference from the bottom of the slope increases. A regression relation exists between relative slope observation point and temperature difference. Highest temperature inversion appears at the middle of the hill and lowest temperature inversion appears at the bottom of the slope. No significant difference in temperature occurs by changing the relative slope observation point. Fruit trees are not injured by freezing and the lowest temperature is always higher than 0℃. The highest temperature difference is 3.3℃ in fine night. The temperature difference does not change significantly among different slope direction.

2007, 15(4): 26-29.
Abstract(1125) PDF(977)
Abstract:
In this paper, principal component analysis was used to probe into urbanization effect on the temperature of Beijing in recent 30 years. Results show that urban heat effect in simultaneity with urbanization is the main cause of urban temperature rise. Estimated proportion of urban heat effect to urban temperature is from 47.5% to 61.2%. Furthermore, correlativity between metropolitan temperature rise and urban population is very strong. Thus this work provides a fundamental reference for the study of urbanization effect on urban climate.

2007, 15(4): 30-35.
Abstract(1247) PDF(894)
Abstract:
Spatial distribution of soil medium- and micro-element in the middle plain of Jilin Province were investigated using geostatistics and geographic information system (GIS)techniques. With various processing methods, including logarithmic transformation, outlier exclusion and Box-Cox transformation, available Ca, Mg, B, Cu, and Zn contents were evaluated with normal distribution tests.The result shows that Box-Cox transformation is effective in achieving normal distribution data sets for available Ca, Mg, Cu, and Zn, while outlier exclusion is effective for available B weakening effect by outliers. Geostatistical analysis including calculation of experimental variograms and model fitting were conducted, and the distribution patterns of the soil nutrient elements plotted. Semivariogram analysis shows that the soil nutrient elements are moderately spatially correlative within a given range.

2007, 15(4): 36-38.
Abstract(1261) PDF(1151)
Abstract:
Calculated arithmetic means of medium-element and micro-element contents of tobacco-growing soils in Fujian are as follows:exchangeable Ca 519.33mg/kg,exchangeable Mg 34.49mg/kg,available S 27.91mg/kg,available Fe 61.07mg/kg, available Mn 13.99mg/kg,available Cu 3.09mg/kg,available Zn 3.32mg/kg,available B 0.17 mg/ kg and water soluble Cl 26.30mg/kg.Exchangeable Mg and available B contents of the soil are evidently deficient while available Fe and Mn are abundant,yet available Cu and Zn are just in the right amounts.

FANG Li-Ping, ZHANG Ming-Kui, CHEN Mei-Na, HUANG Chang-Yong
2007, 15(4): 39-41.
Abstract(1198) PDF(1212)
Abstract:
The transformation processes of Pb,Cu and Cd in ten agricultural soils from Changjiang and Zhujiang deltas were characterized and the effect of Cd,Cu and Pb loads on their chemical forms in the soil studied. Results show that a major fraction of heavy metals in unpolluted soils is in residual form.The proportion of extractable fraction of the heavy metals varies with soil type,but follows a general order of Cd>Cu>Pb. With increasing loads of heavy metals in the soils,the proportion of exchangeable form of the metals increases while that in residual form decreases,leading increased availability and impact of the metals on the environment.When heavy metals are added in low levels,the metals are preferen tially transformed into oxides and organic matter fraction bonds. However,the higher proportion of metals leads to exchangeable and carbonate fraction bond transformation.The proportion of exchangeable Pb,Cu and Cd fractions in the soil increase with decreasing pH.

2007, 15(4): 42-44.
Abstract(1182) PDF(920)
Abstract:
The distribution of Zn and Cu in rock, soil and navel orange tree system in Zigui County was analyzed. Results show differing characteristics of Zn and Cu in navel orange fruits, rocks and soils of the system. The distribution of Zn and Cu follows the universal electrochemical displacement series in the system. Zn/Cu ratio in the system is in the order of rock<soil<navel orange fruits<navel orange stem. Biogeochemical circulations of Zn and Cu are different in the system, with Zn always displacing Cu. Biological enrichment coefficient of Cu and Zn can be represented by a linear regression equation:Zn=0.006+0.024×Cu(R=0.96).

2007, 15(4): 45-48.
Abstract(1572) PDF(1323)
Abstract:
In two high frigid meadow soil series of northwest Sichuan with different management and degeneration gradients,distribution characteristics of different soil nutrients were analyzed for three soil layers (0~20cm,20~40cm,40~60cm). The influence of management type and degradation degree on high frigid meadow soils was then discussed. Results show that soil organic matter, total nitrogen and phosphorus in natural pastures increase significantly after fencing and tillage. At the same time, available nitrogen and phosphorus contents increase remarkably. But the tendencies in 20~40cm and 40 ~60cm soil depths show a lesser magnitude due to soil layer compaction. A steady decrease in organic content is observed with the increase of meadow degrading level. With increasing depths, soil organic matter content decreases. Within the 0~20cm soil depth at increasingly aggravated degradation, soil organic content decreases by 32.6% and 52.1%.Changes in total nitrogen and phosphorus follow the above trend of organic matter, while change in total potassium is largely insignificant. Comparison with lightly degraded meadow, moderately and heavily degraded meadows own 1 5.1% and 28.6% decreased available nitrogen, 25.4% and 59.4% decreased available phosphorus. After fencing, tillage, vegetation rehabilitation is improved, degraded land soil nutrient content increases. However, tillage enhances soil penetration, mineralization and eluviation, resulting in lose of soil organic matter and NO3-N, subsequently reducing soil carbon accumulation. Further more, plowing destroys inherent grass growing soil layer leading to sand-bed becoming dominant degenerated meadow features. Thus,tillage measures should be applied prudent ially in the sub-alpine rangelands of northwest Sichuan.

Abstract(1285) PDF(984)
Abstract:
By high density sampling and farming household investigation,total N content,microbial biomass N(MB-N) content, total N and MB-N relationship,and N cycle characteristics and N balance of plowable soil layer under different land-use types were studied in Dongting Lake region.Results show 3.00±0.48g/kg total N content and 101.4±49.2mg/kg MB-N content in farmlands respectively.Total N contents for double cropping paddy fields,single cropping paddy fields,dry farming paddy fields and dry lands are 3.12±0.40g/kg,3.03±0.39g/kg,2.79±0.43g/kg and 2.10±0.46g/kg;and MB-N contents are 124.0±56.6mg/kg,96.4±39.2mg/kg,108.0±48.6mg/kg and 75.2±30.5mg/kg respectively. Except for dry farming in paddy soils ,MB-N and total N are significantly passively correlative (P<0 .01)for all other land-use types.The order of N surplus for the different land-use types is:double cropping paddy field(105.0 kg/hm2·a)>single cropping paddy field (75.1kg/hm2·a)>dry farming paddy soil (64.5kg/hm2·a)>dry land(51.9kg/hm2·a).

2007, 15(4): 53-56.
Abstract(1801) PDF(1575)
Abstract:
Soil properties under five land-uses,Caragana microphylla land,farmland,poplar forest,fallow land, and mixed plantation of Caragana microphylla and poplar in a typical Loess Plateau region,northwest of Shanxi Province were studied.Results show a significant influence of land-use on soil properties. Caragana microphylla and mixed poplar and Caragana microphylla plantation improve enzyme activity,total nitrogen and organic matter contents leading to higher soil fertility compared with artificial poplar forests.Cultivation practices increase soil bulk density,decrease enzyme activities,total nitrogen and organic matter contents of cropland soils resulting in soil degradation.Land fallow improves soil fertility to some extent.It is further shown that growing Caragana microphylla and mixed Caragana microphylla and poplar plants are the most sustainable ways for vegetation rehabilitation in the Loess Plateau.

2007, 15(4): 57-59.
Abstract(1037) PDF(1164)
Abstract:
The incubating experiment was conducted to study the effects of temperature and soil moisture on decomposition of soil organic carbon in black soil with different organic carbon contents. The results show that under the same soil moisture, the CO2 releasing rate is high at the beginning of the incubation(0~20d), and the relatively released CO2 amount is elevated as temperature increasing. After that(>20d), the CO2 releasing rate is gradually becoming stable. Under the same temperature and 30%~90% of field capability, the CO2 releasing rate is high at the beginning of the incubation (0~20d), and then decreases. And the relatively released CO2 amount is elevated as soil water content increasing. Under same temperature and soil water condition, the CO2 releasing rate is enhanced as the organic carbon contents increasing.

2007, 15(4): 60-63.
Abstract(1282) PDF(1089)
Abstract:
Effect of straw mulching on soil,tea quality and yield of young tea plantations in hilly subtropical regions was studied. Results show that straw mulching improves soil physical properties and fertility,enhances growth of earthworms and increases soil moisture in the critical 0~20cm zone of the soil profile during the critical tea growth period from April to June. At the same time, straw mulching has dynamic effects as raising soil temperature during cold periods and lowering soil temperature during hot periods. Moreover, mulching stabilizes soil temperature within a given siol layer and effectively shortens high soil temperature and desiccation spells.Most importantly,straw mulching improves tea quality and increases tea yield.Tea yield is 39.04g/m2 higher under straw mulching.

2007, 15(4): 64-67.
Abstract(950) PDF(968)
Abstract:
To determine the effect of incorporating rice straw into the soil on rice growth,soil N and P nutrients under different N and P fertilization methods, a pot experiment was conducted where varying amounts of rice straw was incorporated into the soil under different N and P fertilization models. Results show that rice straw leads to short-term decrease in soil NH4-N concentration,increase in soil available P,and sluggished plant growth.Though the effect of rice straw under different N fertilization is the same,it is,however,stronger with increasing levels of rice straw application. Thus it can be stated in conclusion that though straw application has some positive effects,applications in large amounts can lead to Fe toxicity.After rice straw incorporation,good drainage and more N and P fertilization are needed to eliminate possible Fe toxicity induced by the incorporated rice straw.

LI Yu-Qin, ZHAO Jing-Bo
2007, 15(4): 75-77.
Abstract(1168) PDF(807)
Abstract:
Through the determination and comparison of autumn and spring(for rainy years) soil moisture contents under 15-year old apple orchards in the southern suburb of Xi'an,a change in the moisture content within 0~6m depth of soil and the development of dry-layers were analyzed.It is shown that soil moisture within 2~4m soil depth is 8%~10% in spring indicating developed dry-layers of soil.Moisture content within 2~4m soil depth in autumn is more than 23%,far higher than that in spring showing that dry-layers have dispeared.Therefore soil moisture of dry-layer developed in the spring can be recovered rapidly to 5m deep in rainy years.

Abstract(1148) PDF(1091)
Abstract:
Spatial and temporal variations of soil water,runoff and sedimentation on six slope landscape patterns(no-tillage cropland,conventional tillage cropland, fallow land, orchard, woodland, intercropped land) in Xiaolangdi Reservoir area were investigated. Results show average increased soil water content of cultivated slope landscapes(no-tillage and conventional tillage ) to be 1.51,2.32,5.63,and 2.66 times of that of fallow land, orchard, woodland and intercropped land respectively, and with 7.06%,11.9 2%,17.23% and 13.07% higher average water storage efficiency at the end of the rainy season. Vertical changes in moisture across the soil profile are grouped into four clusters: increasing, decreasing, fluctuating,and increasing-decreasing tendencies. Woodland slope has the least accumulated runoff and sedimentation while conventional tillage cropland has the highest of all the slope landscape patterns. Accumulated runoff and sedimentation for conventional tillage cropland is 13.9 times of that of forest landscape.
Study on sweet pepper water requirement under organic soil substrate cultivation in summer season
HE Chao-Xing, ZHANG Zhi-Bin
2007, 15(4): 82-85.
Abstract(1084) PDF(1391)
Abstract:
Four sweet pepper varieties, two from China and two from Netherlands, were cultivated with organic soil substrate in long summer season and their water requirements were analyzed.Resuls show that the varieties from Netherlands such as “Cadete” and “Maribial” have strong growth and higher yield under higher irrigation; whereas varieties from China such as “Zhongjiao 12” and “Tianza 7” show feeble growth but produce higher yield with medium irrigation. It is noted that the higher the irrigation, the larger the single fruit weight for all the varieties. The Chinese varieties can be harvested earlier and yield more in the proph ase. Sweet pepper production is adversely affected by high temperatures in summer but this situation is reversed as the temperatures fa l back to suitable levels. Higher plant and transpiration lead to ower water-use efficiency by the varieties from Netherlands in comparison to those from China. It is also shown that water requirement of sweet pepper changes with plant variety and time of growth; for instance, in hot summer plants need more water for growth. Netherlands varieties with higher yield and strong growth ability require more irrigation than Chinese varieties and are well adapted to cultivation in summer season.

ZHAO Xu, WANG Lin-Quan, ZHOU Chun-Ju, SHANG Hao-Bo
2007, 15(4): 89-93.
Abstract(1245) PDF(1120)
Abstract:
The effect of salt stress on sodium uptake and accumulation,carbon and nitrogen metabolism and the ameliorative effect of calcium on wheat seed germination were studied.Results indicate that wheat seed germination is inhibited by 150mmol/L NaCl.“Xiaoyan6”is more tolerant than “Shaan229” during wheat germination.The ameliorative effect of exogenous calcium on the germination of the two wheat genotypes is different.Salt injury on “Shaan229” is significantly reduced by the addition of 6 mmol/L Ca2+,but calcium has no ameliorative effect on “Xi aoyan6”.Salt stress can decrease proteinase and amylase activities during wheat germination. “Xiaoyan6” enzyme activity is higher than that of “Shaan229”.Proteinase activity is improved by calcium while amylase activity is little affected by calcium.Na+ content in wheat seeds increases remarkably while K/Na ratio decreases significantly under salt stress.Na+ content of wheat seed is affected by exogenous calcium,but K+ content is little affected under 150 mmol/L NaCl and calcium.

Abstract(1007) PDF(958)
Abstract:
Seeds of 5 varieties of Chamaecrista spp. were irradiated with60Co γ-ray at a radiation dosage of 300Gy and a radiation rate of 4 .6875 Gy/min.Observations and selection were made at M1 and M2.Then nutrient measurement at M3 was started with plants selected from mutants of the 5 varieties.Results show that K content of “ATF2219” decreases significantly,while no significant differences in N,P and K contents of other varieties are found.Total amino acid content of “ATF2219” decreases significantly with 17 kinds of the amino acids showing some degree decrease.Total amino acid content of “CPI86134” increases significantly with 17 kinds of the amino acid showing some degree increase.There are no significant differences in the other varieties. RAPD analysis shows that offsprings of the 5 irradiated varieties are significantly genetically different from CK.
Physiological mechanism of alleviating aluminum toxicity in rice seedling root by exogenous organic acids
SHI Rui-Hong, XIE Guo-Sheng, ZENG Han-Lai, ZHANG Duan-Pin
2007, 15(4): 97-101.
Abstract(1133) PDF(924)
Abstract:
Hydroponic culture experiment was carried out to investigate the use of exogenous organic acids in aluminum detoxification at the germination stage of four hybrid rice varieties.Root length and fresh weight of root,root leakage of electrolytes were detected and antioxidant enzymes(e.g.POD,CAT and APX) activity levels also analyzed.Results show that 1.5mmol/L aluminum treatment slightly hurts rice seedling root and POD and APX activities increase distinctly,though that of CAT has no significant change.Al stress is differentially alleviated after the addition of three different organic acids.Succinic acid shows the most obvious Al stress alleviation. Citric acid,malic acid and the mixture of citric acid and succinic acid have specific effects of variety.At the same time,POD and APX activities exhibit a downward trend while that of CAT changes relatively little after addition of exogenous organic acids, suggesting that metabolic homeostasis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is disrupted by Al stress. The activity level of antioxidant enzymes in mitochondria is then regulated by exogenous organic acids which causes detoxification of aluminum toxicity during rice germination.

2007, 15(4): 102-104.
Abstract(1210) PDF(1072)
Abstract:
N and P removal performance of planted floats of ryegrass(Lolium multif) ,“Aijiaohuang” and “Suzhouqing” (the latter two are cultivars of Brasica rapa) in natural eutrophic water bodies were investigated.Results show that the removal percentage by ryegrass,“Aijiaohuang”,“Suzhouqing” and the control are 49.75%,45.77%,45.12% and 28.91% in TN respectively;and 67.66%,60.19%,58.28% and 42.56% respectively in TP.The removal efficiency of the planted floats in TN and TP are significantly different(P<0.05) from those of the control.The three plants are the new and alternative plant resources for the treatment of eutrophic water bodies.Phosphorus bioaccumulation by ryegrass accounts for 89.53% of total removed phosphorus in the system and 34.64% and 42.42% for “Aijiaohuang” and “Suzhouqing”,suggesting that abstraction is the main removal mode of phosphorus.For nitrogen,bioaccumulation accounts for only a small percentage of total removed nitrogen.

2007, 15(4): 105-108.
Abstract(905) PDF(880)
Abstract:
By using batch adsorption method,adsorption isotherms of two nonionic surfactants (Brij30,Tween-80) in two sediments were investigated and parathion-me thyl adsorption behavior between the sediments and water with or without Brij30 or Tween-80 compared.Results show that the S-model is appropriate for describing adsorption isotherms of Brij30 and Tween-80 in sediments.Adsorptions of Brij30 and Tween-80 are the results of their adherence or aggregation on sediment mineral matter and partitioning in sediment organic matter.When Brij30,Tween-80 concentrations are lower than CMC,parathion-methyl adsorption on sediments decreases as Brij30 and Tween-80 molecules compete against parathion-methyl molecules for adsorbent bit attainment.However,because Brij30 and Tween-80 surface micelle in the two sediments adsorbs parathion-methyl and surfactants disperse the sediment colloids,the adsorption of parathion-methyl to sediments increases as Brij30,Tween-80 concentrations are higher than CMC.

Abstract(1104) PDF(1056)
Abstract:
Based on digital land cover maps of 1986,1996,2001,land use/land cover evolution was studied on macro-scale over ARC/I NFO platform.Of all the land cover types,cultivated land area was the largest in the last 15 years.It implies that agricultural production is at the for efront of all land uses over the last 15-year period.Cultivated land area decrease outweighs increase from 1986 to 1996,while a near equal cultivated land area decrease and increase is observed from 1996 to 2001.This means that cultivated land area equilibrium prevails for the recent 5 years.The area with favorable halophilous vegetation succession is nearly equal to that with inverse succession from 1986 to 1996.Land formation outweighs land degradation in this period.From 1996~2001,favorable land evolvement is stronger than the inverse,but land formation rate is slower while land degradation area is more than that of land formation.During the last 15 years,construction land area has increased greatly.The increasing rate of construction land area for 1996~2001 outweighs that for 1986~1996.Construction land area ranks third in 1996,second in 2001 rising from the sixth place in 1986.

SHENG Jing, ZHENG Jian-Chu, CHEN Liu-Gen, MA Kang-Pin
2007, 15(4): 157-160.
Abstract(1616) PDF(1202)
Abstract:
Economic benefits,energy output and soil NPK output/input for current crop production in Jiangsu Province were studied. Results show that cotton in combination with corn, wheat or rape can yield high economic benefits in the regions with intensive labor, small-scale production. Rotating rice and corn, wheat or rape can not only save labor, but also yield high economic and energy benefits in the region with low labor,large-scale production. For five crop types, N input is larger than N output, P input and output is basically in balance and K input is lower than output. In reference to ecological and economic benefits and soil fertility equilibrium maintenance, N fertilizer input should be reduced to 165~225kg/hm2 for rice,75~105 kg/hm2 for wheat,90~165kg/hm2 for corn, 120kg /hm2 for cotton and 60~90kg/hm2 for rape;and K fertilizer input should be increased to 120kg/hm2 for cotton. For the other crops,soil K may be supplemented by plowing crop straw/stalk back to field.
