ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:118758. [PMID: 38527724 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Under the system of full straw returning, the relationship between soil fungal community diversity and soil physiochemical properties, and the combined application of slow-release nitrogen and urea is unclear. To evaluate its effect and provide an effective strategy for sustainable agricultural production, a 2-year field positioning trial was conducted using maize as the research object. The experiment was designed with two factors: straw treatment(S) and nitrogen fertilizer treatment(N),Six experimental treatments were set up,S1N0,S1N1,S1N2,S1N3,S1N4,S0N2,respectively.Analysis of 54 soil samples revealed 15 fungal phyla and 49 fungal classes. The composition of fungal communities in each treatment was basically the same, but there were significant differences in species abundance. Under total straw returning conditions, the combined application of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and normal nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased the relative abundance of Ascomycota. During the jointing stage, tasseling stage and maturity stage, S1N4, S1N3 and S1N2 increased by 25.76%, 22.97%, 20.74%; 25.11%, 30.02%, 23.64% and 22.47%, 28.14%, 22.71% respectively compared with S0N2.The relative abundance of Basidiomycota was significantly reduced. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the straw returning mode significantly increased the Shannon index and decreased the Simpson index, which was obvious in the jointing stage and tasseling stage. The principal coordinate analysis analysis results showed that the fungal communities formed different clusters in the horizontal and vertical directions at the three growth stages of corn jointing, tasseling and maturity. At the jointing stage and tasseling stage, the communities of the straw return treatment and the straw removal treatment were separated, and the community distribution of each treatment was not significantly different in the mature stage. Total straw returning combined with slow-release fertilizer significantly (P<0.05) increased the soil organic carbon, nitrate nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen content in each growth period, and increased the soil total nitrogen and hydrolyzable nitrogen content (P>0.05).After the straw was returned to the field, the combined application of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer and common urea had a significant impact on soil urease, catalase, and sucrase activities. Among them, the three enzyme activities were the highest in the S1N3 treatment at the jointing stage and maturity stage, and the S1N4 treatment at the tasseling stage had the highest enzyme activity. Fungal community composition is closely related to environmental factors. Soil organic carbon, urease and catalase are positively correlated with Ascomycota and negatively correlated with Basidiomycota.

Impact of Straw Incorporation on the Physicochemical Profile and Fungal Ecology of Saline-Alkaline Soil. Microorganisms 2024; 12:277. [PMID: 38399680 PMCID: PMC10892582 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12020277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Improving the soil structure and fertility of saline-alkali land is a major issue in establishing a sustainable agro-ecosystem. To explore the potential of different straw returning in improving saline-alkaline land, we utilized native saline-alkaline soil (SCK), wheat straw-returned saline-alkaline soil (SXM) and rapeseed straw-returned saline-alkaline soil (SYC) as our research objects. Soil physicochemical properties, fungal community structure and diversity of saline-alkaline soils were investigated in different treatments at 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 20-30 cm soil depths. The results showed that SXM and SYC reduced soil pH and total salinity but increased soil organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus, total potassium, etc., and the enhancement effect of SYC was more significant. The total salinity of the 0-10 cm SCK soil layer was much higher than that of the 10-30 cm soil layers. Fungal diversity and abundance were similar in different soil layers in the same treatment. SXM and SYC soil had higher fungal diversity and abundance than SCK. At the genus level, Plectosphaerella, Mortierella and Ascomycota were the dominant groups of fungal communities in SXM and SYC. The fungal diversity and abundance in SXM and SYC soils were higher than in SCK soils. Correlation network analysis of fungal communities with environmental factors showed that organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen and available phosphorus were the main environmental factors for the structural composition of fungal communities of Mortierella, Typhula, Wickerhamomyces, Trichosporon and Candida. In summary, straw returning to the field played an effective role in improving saline-alkaline land, improving soil fertility, affecting the structure and diversity of the fungal community and changing the interactions between microorganisms.

Abstract
Rotational straw return technique is considered an effective measure for improving soil quality and maintaining soil microorganisms. However, there are few reports on the influence of wheat-maize crop rotation and straw-returning tillage on crop soil microbial communities in China. This study aimed to investigate how wheat or maize straw-incorporation practices affect bacterial and fungal communities under wheat-maize rotational farming practices. To clarify the effects of straw incorporation on microbial composition, microbial communities from soils subjected to different treatments were identified using high-throughput sequencing. Our results showed that, before corn planting, wheat and maize straw returning reduced bacterial density and increased their diversity but had no effect on fungal diversity. However, before wheat planting, returning wheat and corn stalks to the field increased the diversity of soil bacteria and fungi, whereas returning corn stalks to the field reduced the diversity of fungi and other microorganisms. Straw return significantly increased the relative abundance of Ascomycota in the first season and decreased it in the second season; however, in the second season, wheat straw return increased the relative abundance of Bradyrhizobium, which can promote the soil microbial nitrogen cycle and provide nitrogen to the soil. Wheat and maize straw return increased the relative abundance of Chaetomium, whereas, individually, they decreased the relative abundance. In addition, we detected two fungal pathogens (Fusarium and Trichoderma) under the two planting patterns and found that the relative abundance of pathogenic Fusarium increased with wheat straw return (FW and SW). Trichoderma increased after treatment with maize straw return before wheat planting (S group). These results suggest that wheat straw return (FW and SW) and maize straw return might have a negative impact on the pathogenic risk. Therefore, further studies are needed to determine how to manage straw returns in agricultural production.

Effects of inorganic and compost tea fertilizers application on the taxonomic and functional microbial diversity of the purslane rhizosphere. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1159823. [PMID: 37152179 PMCID: PMC10159062 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1159823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Soil fertility is a major determinant of plant-microbial interactions, thus, directly and indirectly affecting crop productivity and ecosystem functions. In this study, we analysed for the first time the effects of fertilizer addition on the cropping of purslane (Portulaca oleracea) with particular attention to the taxonomic and functional characteristics of their associated soil microbiota. Methods We tested the effects of different doses of inorganic fertilization differing in the amount of N:P:K namely IT1 (300:100:100); IT2 (300:200:100); IT3 (300:200:200); and IT4 (600:100:100) (ppm N:P:K ratio) and organic fertilization (compost tea) which reached at the end of the assay the dose of 300 ppm N. Results and discussion Purslane growth and soil quality parameters and their microbial community structure, abundance of fungal functional groups and prevailing bacterial metabolic functions were monitored. The application of compost tea and inorganic fertilizers significantly increased the purslane shoot biomass, and some soil chemical properties such as pH and soil enzymatic activities related to C, N and P biogeochemical cycles. The bacterial and fungal community compositions were significantly affected by the organic and chemical fertilizers input. The majority of inorganic fertilization treatments decreased the fungal and bacterial diversity as well as some predictive bacterial functional pathways. Conclusions These findings suggest that the inorganic fertilization might lead to a change of microbial functioning. However, in order to get stronger evidence that supports the found pattern, longer time-frame experiments that ideally include sampling across different seasons are needed. Thus, further research is still needed to investigate the effects of fertilizations on purslane productivity under commercial field conditions.
