  •   Objective  Impacts of the addition of poplar harvesting residues on soil nutrients and CO2 emission were investigated in controlled conditions to provide a reference for its potential utilization.  Method  The indoor incubation experiment was carried out by selecting logging residues of twigs, barks, and leaves from a poplar plantation and the rice straw as research materials. Based on the litter amount in the unit area of the poplar plantation, the fresh soil equivalent to 100 g of dry soil weight and biomass materials equivalent to 2% of dry soil weight were mixed evenly. Then the mixed soils were loaded into a homemade polyethylene plastic box, and incubated in a constant temperature incubator at 25℃ for 180 days in darkness. During the culture period, the soil moisture content was controlled to 60% of the field moisture capacity. Dynamic variations in microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and nitrogen (MBN), inorganic nitrogen (NH4 +-N and NO3 -N), available phosphorus (AP) and available potassium (AK) as well as CO2 in the soil were measured.  Result  (1) The addition of all four residue biomass significantly affected microbial biomass and nutrient availability in the soil (P<0.05). Compared with the control, the soil MBC contents treated by the residue biomass of poplar twigs, barks, leaves and straw increased by 50%, 31%, 80% and 109% respectively, while the soil MBN contents increased by 54%, 40%, 72% and 203%, respectively. The contents of NH4 +-N in the soil treated with bark and twigs residues were higher than those in the control and rice straw treatments, whereas the NO3 -N content in the soil was in the order of control>rice straw>leaf residue>bark residue>twig residue treatments. The highest AP content was observed in the soil treated with twigs, while the AK content in the soil treated with rice straw was higher than that treated with other biomass residues. (2) After adding biomass residues into the soil, the daily release rate of CO2 from the soil showed a tendency with being relatively fast in the initial period, gradually slowing down in the middle stage, and tending to be stable in the later stage of the incubation. After 180 days of indoor incubation, the cumulative CO2 emission from the soil treated with rice straw was significantly higher than that of the other treatments (P<0.05), followed by the soil treated with poplar leaves. (3) Correlation analysis showed that microbial biomass, nutrient contents and CO2 daily release rate in the soil were obviously correlated to the properties of biomass residues. Of them, a significantly positive correlation of soil microbial biomass to the contents of total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total potassium but a significantly negative correlation to the total carbon content and C/N ratio in the biomass residues were detected (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the CO2 daily emission rate was positively correlated to the contents of MBC, MBN, NH4 +-N, AP and AK in the soil (P<0.05), whereas a significantly negative correlation of the CO2 daily emission rate to the contents of NO3 -N was observed (P<0.01).  Conclusion  From the views of soil nutrients and environmental effects, application of poplar harvesting residues not only can increase the contents of soil available nutrients, but also relatively reduce carbon emissions compared with the rice straw.

  • 在资源综合利用和固碳减排的背景下,大量的农林废弃物作为生物质原料正在得到开发利用,国内关于生物质原料的研究以农林废弃物中的秸秆较为成熟,其提高土壤肥力和改善土壤生态环境的效应受到学界广泛认可,在农田土壤中的应用普遍。众多研究表明:秸秆作为生物质原料对土壤微生物的数量和活性具有显著影响[1-4],可有效提高土壤碳氮磷钾等养分含量[5-8]。但也有研究发现:作为营养元素循环及形态转换的重要承担者,土壤微生物在驱动养分周转的同时也会对土壤二氧化碳(CO2)的释放产生影响[9-11]。因此,秸秆施用虽然补充了土壤养分,但也在一定程度上造成CO2排放增加。杨树Populus具有生长快、成材早、产量高、易于更新等特点,是世界中纬度平原地区栽培面积最大、木材产量最高的速生用材树种之一[12]。作为重要的多功能用材和生态公益树种,中国杨树人工林面积居世界首位,杨树人工林的大量采伐和生产利用,使得采伐剩余物利用空间和潜力巨大。目前对林业采伐剩余物利用的研究,仅有少量针对杉木Cunninghamia lanceolata[13-15]、桉树Eucalyptus[16-17]和松树Pinus[18-19]等的报道,针对杨树人工林采伐剩余物利用的研究更是鲜有。本研究以农业剩余物还田后在土壤中发挥的效应为参考,以南方地区重点推广的杨树‘南林895杨’Populus × euramericana‘Nanlin -895’采伐剩余物和水稻Oryza sativa秸秆为研究对象,比较施用杨树不同组分(树枝、树皮、树叶)和水稻秸秆后,森林土壤的生物化学性质差异,旨在探究杨树采伐剩余物对森林土壤养分和CO2释放的综合效应,以期为杨树采伐剩余物还林提供理论依据。

  • 2018年10月于江苏省宿迁市泗洪县陈圩林场采集‘南林895杨’采伐剩余物及试验地周围农田水稻。所采原材料按杨树树皮、树枝、树叶、水稻秸秆分类,用去离子水洗净,70 ℃恒温烘干后粉碎过2 mm筛,密封保存备用。生物质原料基本性质见表1

  • 不同生物质原料对土壤速效养分的影响动态相似,但不同养分间存在差异(图2)。培养初期,SR土壤NH4 +-N质量分数下降最显著;培养中后期,不同处理的NH4 +-N质量分数均呈先上升后下降的趋势;培养结束时,不同处理的土壤NH4 +-N质量分数均明显减少,从大到小依次为BR、TR、对照、SR、LR(图2A)。除对照的土壤NO3 -N质量分数随培养时间增加始终呈上升趋势,其他处理土壤NO3 -N质量分数均表现为培养初期显著下降,培养60 d时降到最低,培养结束时略有增加,从大到小依次为对照、SR、LR、BR、TR(图2B)。

    Figure 2.  Effects of biomass material additions on available nutrients in the soil

    图2C可知:土壤有效磷质量分数表现为培养初期下降明显,初期至中后期上下波动,中后期有所上升。培养结束后,TR、BR、LR和SR的土壤有效磷质量分数分别比对照增加了202.00%、4.73%、192.00%和143.00%。图2D表明:整个培养过程中,速效钾质量分数波动幅度相对较小,各处理组的土壤速效钾质量分数均高于对照。SR的土壤速效钾质量分数始终显著高于其他处理(P<0.05),培养结束时,各土壤的速效钾质量分数从大到小依次为SR、LR、TR、BR、对照。

    结合表2可知:土壤NH4 +-N与TC1和C1/N1呈极显著正相关 (P<0.01),与TN1呈极显著负相关(P<0.01);土壤NO3 -N与TN1呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),与TC1和C1/N1呈极显著负相关(P<0.01)。同时,土壤AP、AK分别与TP1、TK1存在极显著正相关(P<0.01)。说明生物质原料的施用对土壤无机氮、有效磷和速效钾的变化有直接影响。由表3可知:培养期间(0、7、30、90和180 d),土壤性状间存在一定的相关性,其中,土壤AP、AK均分别与土壤MBC、MBN和NH4 +-N存在极显著正相关(P<0.01)。

  • 土壤添加不同生物质原料后土壤CO2日释放速率的变化趋势基本相同(图3),培养第1 天出现峰值,随培养时间增加逐渐下降。培养30 d后TR、BR和对照的土壤CO2日释放速率逐渐趋于稳定。培养的前47 d内,SR、LR的土壤CO2日释放速率较高,培养61 d后趋于稳定(图3A)。

    Figure 3.  Effects of biomass material additions on CO2 daily emission rate (A) and cumulative emission (B) in the soil during the incubation period

    图3B看,培养结束(180 d)时,不同处理的土壤CO2累积释放量从大到小依次为SR、LR、TR、BR、对照。与对照相比,TR、BR、LR、SR的土壤CO2累积释放量分别提高了38.92%、36.43%、209.88%和291.36%。

    土壤CO2日释放速率与TC1和C1/N1呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),与TN1呈极显著负相关(P<0.01,表2),与土壤MBC、AP、AK呈极显著正相关(P<0.01,表3),说明土壤呼吸与生物质原料的碳氮质量分数及微生物活动密切联系,且受土壤有效养分的调控。

  • 土壤微生物的数量和活性直接或间接地反映了土壤有效养分的供给能力。一方面,土壤微生物是养分循环的重要因子,生物质原料进入土壤后,土壤中的氮磷钾等元素可能以各种形态存在,其有效性受微生物矿化-固持作用的控制。研究认为:有机物料的碳氮比是影响其还田后土壤氮素矿化固持的重要因子之一[26-27],土壤微生物活动是氮素循环的重要驱动力,但有机物料适宜的碳氮比才有利于微生物的活动[28-29]。KUMAR等[30]认为碳氮比为25是氮素转化的关键值,低于25的碳氮比有利于微生物吸收利用氮素,高于25则相反。本研究发现:在培养初期,施用生物质原料的土壤无机氮质量分数均明显下降,同时土壤微生物生物量碳氮均显著增加。这是因为随着生物质的施入,土壤养分供给充足,促进了微生物活性;但由于4种添加物的碳氮比均较高,微生物为了维持生长代谢的碳氮平衡,需要吸收土壤中的无机氮,即土壤无机氮被微生物固持,土壤无机氮质量分数降低,与闫德智等[21]和李涛等[31]的结果一致。至培养中后期,随着碳源的消耗,微生物活动减缓,当土壤碳氮比下降到一定程度后,微生物矿化释放无机态氮素,土壤无机氮质量分数略有回升。另一方面,土壤微生物本身是土壤碳氮能源库,土壤微生物量碳氮的增减揭示了碳氮进入土壤后生物固持和释放的本质。张静等[32]研究表明:当玉米Zea mays秸秆还田量为9 000 kg·hm−2时,麦地的微生物生物量碳显著提高,为下一茬作物储备了丰富的碳源。本研究发现:与对照相比,杨树材料的施用明显增加了土壤微生物生物量碳氮;同时,相关性分析可知:土壤MBC、MBN与生物质原料具有显著相关关系,说明杨树采伐剩余物可以作为生物质原料来提高土壤的碳氮储备量。添加生物质后,土壤有效磷的变化趋势与无机氮相似,均为先降低后逐渐趋于稳定,推测可能与磷的生物固持有关[33-36]。对于森林土壤来说,碳磷比是影响磷矿化的关键,本研究处理初期,磷及碳磷比较高,微生物吸收固定土壤中的有效磷,培养后期,磷的矿化作用开始增强,有效磷质量分数有所上升,与SAGGER等[37]和DIETER等[38]的观点一致。

    本研究中各处理土壤的速效钾质量分数与土壤微生物生物量质量分数具有对应关系,但整体变化幅度较小,原因可能是土壤自身速效钾质量分数较高,固钾能力较弱或固钾需求已经满足。黄帅等[39]的研究也证明土壤固钾率与速效钾质量分数和钾离子饱和度均呈极显著负相关。本研究为土壤空白试验,不存在植物对土壤速效钾的吸收利用,不需要消耗大量交换性钾,因此在微生物代谢周转过程中,矿化产生速效钾的质量分数也相对较少。

    就提升土壤铵态氮和有效磷质量分数而言,施用杨树树皮和树枝的效果优于秸秆和对照;对于提高硝态氮质量分数,虽然3种杨树材料的施用效果较秸秆差,但树叶和树皮的施用效果优于树枝;从速效钾质量分数来看,杨树材料的施用效果均明显优于对照。因此,施用杨树采伐剩余物对土壤中氮素的转化具有积极影响,在无机氮质量分数较高的土壤中,施用碳氮比较高的树皮和树枝原料有利于微生物对土壤氮素的固定,虽然降低了氮素有效性,但一定程度上避免了氮素的流失;当土壤无机氮质量分数较低时,选择碳氮比较低的树叶原料,微生物能更快地矿化释放无机氮供植物利用。本研究还发现:施用杨树采伐剩余物也具有提高土壤有效磷和速效钾质量分数的潜力,不同杨树材料中以树枝和树叶的施用效果更好。

  • 土壤有机碳的矿化受微生物活动的密切影响,研究[40]表明:土壤呼吸释放的CO2约50%~70%来自微生物对有机质的分解。秸秆还田试验[41-42]表明:土壤呼吸与土壤微生物量碳存在显著正相关关系。本研究中,不同处理土壤CO2日释放速率均表现为初期较快、中期逐渐减缓、培养后期趋于稳定的趋势,该动态规律与朱文玲[43]的研究结果一致,并与本研究中土壤微生物生物量碳氮的变化趋势相对应。

    目前关于有机物料还田是否能减少CO2的排放还存在一定争议。众多研究[1144-45]认为:生物质原料的添加提供了更多土壤呼吸和CO2释放所需的碳素,使CO2排放量增加,存在负面的环境效应。本研究也发现:添加4种生物质材料后,土壤CO2日释放速率和累积释放量均高于对照。从土壤CO2日释放速率来看,秸秆和树叶施入后,土壤矿化速率高于树枝和树皮原料。从累积释放量来看,虽然培养初期添加树叶使土壤有机碳的矿化量更大,但长期培养过程中添加秸秆对有机碳的矿化效果更明显,即4种材料的施用都会给环境带来的一定程度的负面影响,但相比秸秆,添加杨树采伐剩余物后土壤CO2排放量明显要低。也有研究[46-47]证实,有机物料的施用能减少碳排放,这可能与施用方式、施用量及生物质原料和土壤性质不同有关。

    本研究以目前在农田土壤中广泛应用的秸秆原料为参照,证明了杨树采伐剩余物既能满足土壤有效养分的补充,又能相对控制CO2排放,具有作为生物质原料还林的巨大潜力。基于中国气候条件、土壤类型和植被种类,有必要对杨树采伐剩余物的施用量和施用方式进行长期田间综合试验和评价,探究其在土壤中施用的现实意义。同时,除监测CO2释放外,还有必要在施用过程中进一步测定甲烷(CH4)和氧化亚氮(N2O) 等重要温室气体,以明确杨树采伐剩余物施用的生态环境效应,真正实现林业的绿色可持续发展。
