常年使用化肥和除草剂以及农业新技术的高投入,使我国粮食主产区耕地出现了生产力降低、土壤生物多样性失调和污染严重等生态问题。采用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)方法来评估施肥和杂草多样性对冬小麦土壤微生物群落结构的影响。实验采用裂区实验设计,施肥作为主因素,杂草多样性作为次因素。化肥和有机肥两个施肥处理,在两个施肥处理中进行杂草多样性设置,实验盆中心种植作物(冬小麦8株),四周种植杂草(8株),杂草种类选择野燕麦、苜蓿、菊苣、播娘蒿。杂草多样性处理设为0、1、2、4种杂草处理,0种杂草处理仅种植作物,有6盆;1种杂草处理为每盆种1种杂草,有12盆;2种杂草处理为每盆种两种杂草,有12盆;4种杂草处理为每盆种4种杂草,有6盆。结果表明:在两种施肥处理中,增加杂草多样性显著增加了土壤碳氮比和pH值,碳氮比都是在4种杂草处理中最高。施化肥处理中,增加杂草多样性显著影响真菌和细菌比,真菌和细菌比在4种杂草处理中最大,显著高于0、1、2种杂草处理。在施有机肥处理中,增加杂草多样性显著影响阳性菌和阴性菌比,阳性菌和阴性菌比在0种杂草处理中最低,显著低于1、2、4种杂草处理。在两个施肥处理中,土壤碳氮比与各类群微生物量显著相关,杂草多样性通过改变土壤碳氮比改变微生物群落构成,并且微生物群落结构转变方式不同。
磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA); 施肥; 杂草多样性; 主要农作物
土壤生物在增加土壤碳储存、提高土壤肥力和调节植物生长中起着重要作用。尤其土壤微生物,它是土壤生态系统的关键成份和土壤功能(如物质循环,能量流动)的驱动者[1]。微生物之间通过竞争和其它相互作用可以降低真菌类疾病[2],而微生物与植物根系共生形成菌根真菌能提高植物对氮和磷的吸收[3]。因此,土壤微生物在提高土壤生态系统功能方面起着重要作用。
农田管理方式(如施化肥、除草剂等)直接或间接地影响土壤微生物群落构成。当前,大量化肥施用于农田用来满足人类食物需求[4]。人为的氮输入是100年前的10倍[5]。从1996年到2005年,中国的谷物产量增加了10%,但化肥施用量增加了51%[6]。土壤微生物群落结构和施肥有密切关系。长期施氮肥能减少总微生物量和真菌生物量[7-8],改变土壤氨氧化细菌群落构成[9]。长期施磷肥能显著减少真菌生物量[8,10]。因此,长期施化肥对微生物有不利影响。除草剂的大量使用,使农田杂草多样性急剧降低。农田杂草是栖息在农田中鸟类、昆虫和传粉动物的食物来源[11-12],同时也是地上地下生态系统密切联系的纽带,影响分解者生物群落组成(微生物、线虫、螨类)、养分利用和土壤生态过程的稳定性[13-14]。大量研究集中于杂草对作物产量的影响,而农田杂草如何影响土壤微生物群落结构的相关研究还比较少[15],且结果不一致[15-17]。微生物群落构成和多样性的改变对植被生产力的影响是未来的主要挑战[18]。
磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)法不仅可以检测活体微生物群落结构而且可以估计微生物生物量。磷脂脂肪酸组成的改变被认为是微生物群落结构转变的敏感标记,广泛用来比较不同的土地利用系统、作物管理模式和营养压力下微生物群落的差异[19-20],是目前较可靠的研究方法。
常年使用化肥和农药以及农业新技术的高投入,使我国粮食主产区耕地出现了生产力降低、土壤生物多样性失调和污染严重等生态问题。保护生物多样性被认为是应对未来农业风险的重要战略[21]。本研究采用盆栽模拟试验探索施化肥和有机肥措施下增加杂草多样性是否改变冬小麦土壤微生物群落构成,以及该变化方式是否相同。旨在为农田土壤环境保持健康稳定提供一定的科学依据。基于该研究提出假设:(1)增加杂草多样性通过影响土壤C/ N改变微生物群落,(2)增加杂草多样性在两种施肥处理中改变微生物群落结构方式不同。

4 讨论
施有机肥提高了土壤养分,更有利于增加土壤微生物量。结果表明施有机肥处理土壤总微生物量和各类群微生物量多于施化肥处理 (图1),因为有机肥处理中有机碳含量高于施化肥处理(表2),微生物量依赖于土壤有机碳[27];有机肥本身含有微生物,这也是增加土壤微生物量的原因。施肥显著改变了土壤微生物群落结构,施化肥处理中阳性菌与阴性菌比低于施有机肥 (图1)。Marschner 等[28]在长期施肥研究中结果也表明阳性菌与阴性菌比在施化肥处理中显著低于施有机肥处理。施有机肥处理有较高的真菌和细菌比 (图1),增加真菌和细菌比被认为增强了生态系统效率和食物网复杂性[29-30]。是农田生态系统更加可持续发展的标志并且对环境有较低的影响[31]。而且,施有机肥处理碳氮比高于施化肥处理(表2),碳氮比在一定范围内可以作为养分肥力的指标。因此,施有机肥更有利于土壤生态系统稳定性。
杂草多样性显著改变了土壤养分,在两个施肥处理中,4种杂草多样性处理中碳氮比和pH值最高(表2)。碳氮比和pH值是重要的环境因子,会影响微生物群落构成,尽管在施有机肥4种杂草处理中pH值有显著增加(表2),但pH值变化范围比较窄,且与各类群微生物量无显著相关(表5),而各类群微生物量和与碳氮比显著相关(表5),所以增加杂草多样性通过改变土壤碳氮比改变微生物群落结构,证明了第一个假设。这和Marschner等[28]研究结果相同,细菌和真菌群落结构显著地受碳氮比影响。
大部分土壤微生物是依赖外源碳的非自养生物,根代谢物增加了土壤有机碳,有利于微生物生长。本文结果表明地上杂草多样性和地下微生物群落紧密相关(表4)。在施化肥处理中,杂草多样性显著影响真菌和细菌比(表4),4种杂草处理中,真菌和细菌比最高(图1),因为在4种杂草处理中真菌生物量最多(图1)。真菌能分解大量的植物残体释放营养,促进土壤团聚提高土壤质量,且能增加土壤碳储存。因此,在施化肥处理中物种丰富的植物群落的生态位互补作用、积极的交互作用和较多的可利用资源[32-33]更有利于真菌生长。4种杂草处理增强了生态系统效率的另一个原因是菌根真菌生物量最大,菌根真菌能增强宿主对氮和磷的吸收,也可以减少宿主土传病虫害[34];而且4种杂草处理中有较多的原生动物和小型节肢动物(未发表),土壤动物与微生物交互作用刺激分解作用[35-36],提高作物对土壤中氮的吸收并且减少害虫的危害[37-38]。因此,施化肥处理中增加杂草多样性通过改变真菌和细菌比影响微生物群落,并且有助于改善土壤生态系统。在施有机肥处理中,杂草多样性显著影响阳性菌和阴性菌比(表4),阴性菌生物量在4种杂草处理中最高。阴性菌倾向于利用根围来源的碳[39],大量的阴性菌被认为是从贫营养到富营养的转变[40]。植物通过改变根分泌液质量和数量影响阴性菌生物量,因为根分泌液是微生物利用的重要碳源,而且根分泌液和沉积物可以刺激微生物生长[41]。在有机肥处理中,杂草多样性对真菌和细菌比无显著影响(表4),因此,在有机肥处理中增加杂草多样性对改善土壤生态系作用不大,可能因为在肥沃和生物学健康的土壤中,杂草处于竞争弱势地位。在两种施肥处理中增加杂草多样性改变微生物群落结构的方式不同。证明了第二个假设。因此,植物物种丰富度是影响微生物交互的重要因子。尽管在杂草多样性处理间微生物群落结构差别较小,但这些微小差别对微生物驱动的生态系统过程(如营养循环)会有重要的积累效应。
Milcu等[42]研究表明豆科物种的存在对土壤微生物量有积极的作用。实验中,却没有得出此结论,在含有豆科、菊科、禾本科和十字花科杂草物种处理中,物种专一性对土壤微生物量和类群比都无显著影响(表6)。因此,是物种多样性而不是物种专一性影响微生物群落构成。Eisenhauer等[43]研究结果也表明是植物多样性而不是植物功能组驱动土壤食物网的结构和功能。建议在农田中施有机肥,以增加土壤微生物量;在施化肥农田中要保持一定的杂草多样性,用于调节土壤微生物群落结构,改善土壤生态系统。
5 结论
本文结果显示施有机肥能较大的增加土壤微生物量和增加土壤养分。杂草多样性通过改变土壤碳氮比显著影响微生物群落构成,施化肥处理中增加杂草多样性显著增加了真菌和细菌比和土壤碳氮比,提高了土壤生态系统稳定性;而在肥沃的有机肥处理中,增加杂草多样性显著增加了阳性菌和阴性菌比、pH值。

Farmland ecosystems are primary producers of food, feed, fiber, and other natural products. Species diversity constitutes an important foundation in farmland ecosystems, but human activities are greatly accelerating the loss rate of species. Considerable evidence shows that agricultural management threatens biodiversity and negatively affects species richness and abundance of taxa. In major grain-producing areas, reductions in productivity and soil biodiversity and serious pollution problems occur as a result of fertilizer and pesticide use as well as new agricultural technologies. Conservation of biological diversity is considered to be an important strategy to reduce risks to agriculture in the future. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis was employed to examine the effects of fertilization and diversity of weed species on soil microbial community structure in a winter wheat plantation. The experiment used a split-plot design and was established in October 2010. Two fertilization treatments (including chemical fertilizer and organic manure) were applied to the main plots and diversity of weed species (0, 1, 2 and 4 species) were sown in the sub-plots. Wheat was grown in the center of plots and weeds were grown around the wheat plants (all eight plants). The weed species wereAvenafatua,Medicagosativa,Cichoriumintybus, andDescurainiasophia. For the zero species weed treatments, six plots were grown of wheat plants only. For the 1-species weed treatments, one kind of weed was grown with the wheat in 12 plots. For the 2-species weed treatments, two weed species were grown with the wheat in 12 plots. For the 4-species weed treatments, four weed species were grown with the wheat in six plots. Increased weed diversity significantly increased the soil carbon(C)∶nitrogen(N) ratio and pH in both fertilizer treatments, and the C∶N ratio was the highest in the 4-species treatment. In the chemical fertilizer treatment, weed diversity significantly affected the fungi:bacteria ratio, which was highest in the 4-species treatment. Fungal and mycorrhizal fungal biomass were lowest in the 1-species treatment (1.0 nmol/g dry soil and 0.4 nmol/g dry soil, respectively), and significantly lower than in the 4-species treatment (1.3 nmol/g dry soil and 0.6 nmol/g dry soil, respectively). In the organic manure treatments, the gram-positive:gram-negative bacterial ratio was lowest in the 0-species treatment compared with the 1-, 2-and 4-species treatments. Mycorrhizal fungal biomass was lowest in the 1-species treatment (1.5 nmol/g dry soil), and significantly lower than in the 4-species treatment (1.8 nmol/g dry soil). In both fertilizer treatments, weed species diversity affected microbial community composition by changing the soil C∶N ratio, which was correlated with biomass of various functional groups of soil microbes. Moreover, the shift of the microbial community composition in a different way. Plant species richness is an important factor affecting microbial interactions. Despite the small differences in microbial community structure between different weed diversity treatments, these minor differences will have an important cumulative effect on microbial-driven ecosystem processes. For legumes,Asteraceae,Poaceae, and cruciferous weed species treatments, species specificity had no significant effects on soil microbial biomass and taxa. Thus, species diversity affects microbial community composition. We recommend applying manure to increase soil microbial biomass in farmlands and maintain diversity of weed species. This will lead to changes in microbial community structure to regulate and improve soil ecosystem stability in chemically fertilized farmland. This study is of practical and theoretical significance for 1) our understanding of how plant diversity affects soil microbial community composition and the development of soil ecosystem health, 2) exploring microbial ecological function in maintaining soil ecosystem stability, and 3) revealing plant-soil-microbial interactions and feedback mechanisms.
