PLoS One 2024; 19:e0305097. [PMID: 38857213 PMCID: PMC11164328 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0305097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Understanding of soil phosphorus (P) transformation is crucial to minimize its edge-of-field loss associated with ecosystem disservices. A sequential chemical extraction procedure was used to assess the impact (42 years) of organic and chemical fertilizations on soil P partition and distribution under subtropical rice based cropping systems. Experimental treatments were control, N, NP, NK, NS, NZn, NPK, NSZn, NPKSZn, and N+FYM (farmyard manure). Composite soils were collected from 0-5, 20-25 and 40-45 cm depths, extracted, and analyzed for soluble P, NaHCO3-P (inorganic and organic), NaOH-P (inorganic and organic), acid soluble (H2SO4), and residual P fractions. The NPKSZn significantly increased the concentration of soil inorganic P compared to other treatments. When FYM was applied together with N fertilizer, the organic P concentration increased, which was statistically identical to NPKSZn and NPK treatments. While the labile (NaHCO3-Pi, NaOH-Po), residual, and total P concentrations were stratified at 0-5 cm depth, the concentration of NaHCO3-Po, NaOH-Pi, and acidic P fractions increased with soil depth. The soluble, NaHCO3 (Pi and Po), NaOH-Pi and NaOH-Po, acidic, and residual P fractions constituted about 0.4, 6.6, 1.7, 21.3, 37.7, and 8.3%, respectively, of the total P. A higher concentration of the labile P at the surface soil indicated that the impact of chemical fertilization stratified the available P for plant uptake or susceptible to edge-of-field loss. The NPKSZn and N+FYM both had higher NaHCO3-Po and NaOH-Po concentrations within 40-45 cm and 0-25 cm depths, suggesting that N+FYM could promote the transformation of non-labile P into labile P pool, by reducing P fixation by soil and transport them at 20-45 cm depth. It is concluded that long-term fertilization increased the concentration of P pools especially labile P by saturating the soil adsorption sites especially in surface soil.

Deng P, Zhou Y, Chen W, Tang F, Wang Y. Microbial mechanisms for improved soil phosphorus mobilization in monoculture conifer plantations by mixing with broadleaved trees. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 359:120955. [PMID: 38678896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120955] [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: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Replanting broadleaved trees in monoculture conifer plantations has been shown to improve the ecological environment. However, not much is known about the distribution properties of soil phosphate-mobilizing bacteria (PMB) under different mixed plantings or how PMB affects biometabolism-driven phosphorus (P) bioavailability. The phoD and pqqC genes serve as molecular markers of PMB because they regulate the mobilization of organic (Po) and inorganic (Pi) P. Differences in soil bioavailable P concentration, phoD- and pqqC-harboring PMB communities, and their main regulators were analyzed using biologically-based P (BBP) and high-throughput sequencing approaches after combining coniferous trees (Pinus massoniana) and five individual broadleaved trees (Bretschneidera sinensis, Michelia maudiae, Cercidiphyllum japonicum, Manglietia conifera, and Camellia oleifera). The findings revealed that the contents of litter P, soil organic carbon (SOC), available Pi (CaCl2-P), and labile Po (Enzyme-P) were significantly higher in conifer-broadleaf mixed plantations than those in the monospecific Pinus massoniana plantations (PM), especially in the mixed stands with the introduction of Cercidiphyllum japonicum, Michelia maudiae, and Camellia oleifera. Conifer-broadleaf mixing had little effect on the abundance of phoD and pqqC genes but significantly altered species composition within the communities. Conifer-broadleaf mixing improved soil microbial habitat mainly by increasing the pH, increasing carbon source availability and nutrient content, decreasing exchangeable Fe3+ and Al3+ content, and decreasing the activation degrees of Fe and Al oxides in acidic soils. A small group of taxa (phoD: Bradyrhizobium, Tardiphaga, Nitratireductor, Mesorhizobium, Herbaspirillum, and Ralstonia; pqqC: Burkholderia, Variovorax, Bradyrhizobium, and Leptothrix) played a key role in the synthesis of P-related enzymes (e.g., alkaline phosphomonoesterase, ALP) and in lowering the levels of mineral-occluded (HCl-P) and chelated (Citrate-P) Pi. Overall, our findings highlight that mixing conifers and broadleaves could change the PMB communities that produce ALP and dissolve Pi to make P more bioavailable.

Adaptive response of prokaryotic communities to extreme pollution flooding in a Paleolithic rock art cave (Pindal Cave, northern Spain). THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 921:171137.

Abstract
A flood event affecting Pindal Cave, a UNESCO World Heritage site, introduced a substantial amount of external sediments and waste into the cave. This event led to the burial of preexisting sediments, altering the biogeochemical characteristics of the cave ecosystem by introducing heightened levels of organic matter, nitrogen compounds, phosphorus, and heavy metals. The sediments included particulate matter and waste from a cattle farm located within the water catchment area of the cavity, along with diverse microorganisms, reshaping the cave microbial community. This study addresses the ongoing influence of a cattle farm on the cave ecosystem and aims to understand the adaptive responses of the underground microbial community to the sudden influx of waste allochthonous material. Here, we show that the flood event had an immediate and profound effect on the cave microbial community, marked by a significant increase in methanogenic archaea, denitrifying bacteria, and other microorganisms commonly associated with mammalian intestinal tracts. Furthermore, our findings reveal that one year after the flood, microorganisms related to the flood decreased, while the increase in inorganic forms of ammonium and nitrate suggests potential nitrification, aligning with increased abundances of corresponding functional genes involved in nitrogen cycling. The results reveal that the impact of pollution was neither recent nor isolated, and it was decisive in stopping livestock activity near the cave. The influence of the cattle farm has persisted since its establishment over the impluvium area, and this influence endures even a year after the flood. Our study emphasizes the dynamic interplay between natural events, anthropogenic activities, and microbial communities, offering insights into the resilience of cave ecosystems. Understanding microbial adaptation in response to environmental disturbances, as demonstrated in this cave ecosystem, has implications for broader ecological studies and underscores the importance of considering temporal dynamics in conservation efforts.

Abstract
Introduction The incorporation of green manures substantially enhances the conversion of external phosphorus (P) fertilizers and soil-reserved P into forms readily available to plants. The study aims to evaluate the influence of green manure additions on soil phosphorus dynamics and citrus growth, considering different green manure species and initial soil phosphorus levels. Additionally, the research seeks to elucidate the microbiological mechanisms underlying the observed effects. Methods A citrus pot experiment was conducted under both P-surplus (1.50 g·P·kg-1) and P-deficient (0.17 g·P·kg-1) soils with incorporating legume (Leg), non-legume (Non-Leg) or no green manure residues (CK), and 18O-P labeled KH2PO4 (0.5 g, containing 80‰ δ18Op) was additionally introduced to trace the turnover characteristics of chemical P fertilizer mediated by soil microorganisms. Results and discussion In P-surplus soil, compared with the CK treatment, the Leg treatment significantly increased soil H2O-Pi (13.6%), NaHCO3-Po (8.9%), NaOH-Pi (9.5%) and NaOH-Po (30.0%) content. It also promoted rapid turnover of P sources into H2O-Pi and NaHCO3-Pi pools by enhancing the phoC (576.6%) gene abundance. In contrast, the Non-Leg treatment significantly augmented soil H2O-Pi (9.2%) and NaHCO3-Po (8.5%) content, facilitating the turnover of P sources into NaHCO3-Pi pools. Under P-deficient soil conditions, compared with the CK treatment, the Leg treatment notably raised soil H2O-Pi (150.0%), NaHCO3-Pi (66.3%), NaHCO3-Po (34.8%) and NaOH-Pi (59.0%) content, contributing to the transfer of P sources into NaHCO3-Pi and NaOH-Pi pools. This effect was achieved through elevated ALP (33.8%) and ACP (12.9%) activities and increased pqqC (48.1%), phoC (42.9%), phoD (21.7%), and bpp (27.4%) gene abundances. The Non-Leg treatment, on the other hand, led to significant increases in soil NaHCO3-Pi (299.0%) and NaHCO3-Po (132.6%) content, thereby facilitating the turnover of P sources into NaHCO3-Pi and NaOH-Pi pools, except for the phoC gene abundance. Both Leg and Non-Leg treatments significantly improved citrus growth (7.3-20.0%) and P uptake (15.4-42.1%) in P-deficient soil but yielded no substantial effects in P-surplus soil. In summary, introducing green manure crops, particularly legume green manure, emerges as a valuable approach to enhance soil P availability and foster fruit tree growth in orchard production.

Abstract
Fertilization is a pervasive approach to agricultural production enhancing vegetable nutrients such as phosphorus (P) absorption. However, unreasonable fertilization strategies result in high levels of residual P in vegetable planting systems. To better understand the mechanisms of soil phosphorus dynamics responding to inorganic/organic fertilization, we conducted a 3-year field experiment in two newly reclaimed vegetable fields in southern China. The results revealed that soil Olsen-P in CF (mineral fertilization) and OF (Combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers) increased by approximately 210.6 % and 183.6 %, respectively, while stable P proportion decreased by approximately 9.2 % and 18.1 %, respectively, compared with CK. Combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizer increased the proportion of moderately labile P (NaOH-P) by 1-6 % in comparison with chemical fertilizer and facilitated the conversion from diester-P to monoester-P, indicating that applying pig manure enhanced the potential soil P bioavailability. Besides, organic-inorganic fertilization shaped a bacterial community with more connectivity and stability and changed keystone taxa related to the P transformation of the network. Phenylobacterium, Solirubrobacter, and Modestobacter were regarded as core genera for mobilizing soil phosphorus. However, residual P content in newly reclaimed soils under fertilization, especially for chemical fertilizer, remained non-negligible and may cause potential environmental risks. The partial least squares path modeling results demonstrated that fertilization management had both direct and indirect positive effects on P fraction through the improvement of soil nutrients e.g. total N and soil organic carbon, and bacterial community, while soil properties mainly determined the variation of soil P species. Our results provide comprehensive insights into the current status of legacy P forms and the vital role of fertilizer, key soil properties and bacteria in P dynamics in newly reclaimed vegetable field.

Abstract
Colloid-facilitated phosphorus (P) migration plays an important role in P loss from farmland to adjacent water bodies. However, the dynamics of colloidal P (Pcoll) release as influenced by irrigation in alkaline calcareous soil remains a knowledge gap. The present study, monitored the dynamic change of Pcoll under different water management strategies: 1) control, 2) flooding, and 3) alternating flooding and drying cycles. Soil water-dispersible colloids (0.6 nm-1 μm) were extracted by combining filtration and ultrafiltration methods. The contents of P, cation and organic carbon in the water-dispersible colloids were determined and the stability and mineral composition of colloidal fractions were characterized. The results showed that Pcoll ranged from 16.5 to 25.5 mg kg-1 and represented 42.8%-64.9% of the water-extracted P in the control. Flooding significantly decreased the Pcoll content by 16.0%-62.1% (mean 32.7%) and it may be attributed to the dissolution of colloidal iron (Fe) bound P. The alternating flooding and drying treatment significantly reduced the Pcoll content by 11.6%-88.0% (mean 67.6%). The Pcoll content of the flooding event was always greater than the Pcoll content of the drying event during flooding and drying cycles. Redundancy analysis and random forest modeling showed that the colloidal calcium (Ca) and ionic strength in soil solutions had negative correlations with the Pcoll content, and pH, ionic strength and truly dissolved P were the critical factors affecting Pcoll. Drying of the flooded soil led to the decrease of pH and the increase of ionic strength, colloidal Ca content and positive charges of colloid surfaces, which promoted colloid aggregation and enhanced soil P sorption capacity. This restricted the loss potential of Pcoll. In summary, controlled flooding and drainage when managed correctly have a role to play in mitigating Pcoll loss from P-enriched calcareous soils.

Long-term nitrogen fertilization and sweetpotato cultivation in the wheat-sweetpotato rotation system decrease alkaline phosphomonoesterase activity by regulating soil phoD-harboring bacteria communities. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 900:165916.

Abstract
The alkaline phosphomonoesterase (ALP)-harboring community (phoD-harboring community) plays a crucial role in the conversion of organic phosphorus (P) into available P (AP). However, the response mechanisms of phoD-harboring communities to fertilization strategies, crop types, and their interactions within the wheat-sweetpotato rotation are poorly understood. A nine-year field experiment of different fertilization strategies was established under the wheat-sweetpotato rotation. After harvesting the crop, we collected soil samples without fertilization (CK), inorganic NK fertilization (NK), inorganic NPK fertilization (NPK), and a combined application of inorganic NPK and organic fertilizer (NPKM). We employed high-throughput sequencing and enzymology techniques to analyze the composition and functional activity of phoD-harboring bacterial communities as well as their correlation with soil physicochemical properties. The results showed that long-term nitrogen (N) fertilization, especially inorganic N, significantly reduced soil pH and ALP activity while increasing AP compared with CK. The AP content in sweetpotato season was significantly higher than that in wheat season. Inorganic N fertilization dramatically reshaped the communities of phoD-harboring bacteria and decreased diversity. The phoD-harboring bacterial communities in sweetpotato season were significantly different from those in wheat season. The N fertilization significantly reduced the relative abundance of Acuticoccus, Methylibium, Rhizobacter, and Roseivivax, which was positively correlated with ALP activity. These groups in sweetpotato season decreased significantly compared with wheat season. A structural equation model indicates that pH and AP play a significant role in regulating the phoD-harboring bacteria communities, ALP activity, and their interactions. We demonstrate that fertilization strategies and crop types have a substantial impact on the phoD-harboring bacteria communities and functions, which are closely linked to soil pH and AP levels. Our study highlights the detrimental effects of soil acidification resulting from inorganic N fertilization on P-cycling bacterial communities and functions. However, the combination of inorganic and organic fertilizer can mitigate these adverse effects.

Long-Term Organic Fertilization Strengthens the Soil Phosphorus Cycle and Phosphorus Availability by Regulating the pqqC- and phoD-Harboring Bacterial Communities. MICROBIAL ECOLOGY 2023; 86:2716-2732. [PMID: 37528183 DOI: 10.1007/s00248-023-02279-7] [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: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
The pqqC and phoD genes encode pyrroloquinoline quinone synthase and alkaline phosphomonoesterase (ALP), respectively. These genes play a crucial role in regulating the solubilization of inorganic phosphorus (Pi) and the mineralization of organic phosphorus (Po), making them valuable markers for P-mobilizing bacterial. However, there is limited understanding of how the interplay between soil P-mobilizing bacterial communities and abiotic factors influences P transformation and availability in the context of long-term fertilization scenarios. We used real-time polymerase chain reaction and high-throughput sequencing to explore the characteristics of soil P-mobilizing bacterial communities and their relationships with key physicochemical properties and P fractions under long-term fertilization scenarios. In a 38-year fertilization experiment, six fertilization treatments were selected. These treatments were sorted into three groups: the non-P-amended group, including no fertilization and mineral NK fertilizer; the sole mineral-P-amended group, including mineral NP and NPK fertilizer; and the organically amended group, including sole organic fertilizer and organic fertilizer plus mineral NPK fertilizer. The organically amended group significantly increased soil labile P (Ca2-P and enzyme-P) and Olsen-P content and proportion but decreased non-labile P (Ca10-P) proportion compared with the sole mineral-P-amended group, indicating enhanced P availability in the soil. Meanwhile, the organically amended group significantly increased soil ALP activity and pqqC and phoD gene abundances, indicating that organic fertilization promotes the activity and abundance of microorganisms involved in P mobilization processes. Interestingly, the organically amended group dramatically reshaped the community structure of P-mobilizing bacteria and increased the relative abundance of Acidiphilium, Panacagrimonas, Hansschlegelia, and Beijerinckia. These changes had a greater positive impact on ALP activity, labile P, and Olsen-P content compared to the abundance of P-mobilizing genes alone, indicating their importance in driving P mobilization processes. Structural equation modeling indicated that soil organic carbon and Po modulated the relationship between P-mobilizing bacterial communities and labile P and Olsen-P, highlighting the influence of SOC and Po on the functioning of P-mobilizing bacteria and their impact on P availability. Overall, our study demonstrates that organic fertilization has the potential to reshape the structure of P-mobilizing bacterial communities, leading to increased P mobilization and availability in the soil. These findings contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying P cycling in agricultural systems and provide valuable insights for enhancing microbial P mobilization through organic fertilization.

Zhou J. The effects of organic fertilizer on loss risk of nitrogen and phosphorus in paddy ponded water. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:55529-55540. [PMID: 36897445 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-26296-8] [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: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
There is a great challenge globally for both achieving high crop yields via fertilization and minimizing environmental pollution from nutrient losses. Organic fertilizer (OF) application has been extensively reported to effectively improve arable soil fertility and mitigate nutrient losses. However, few studies are available that accurately quantified the substitution rates of OF for chemical fertilizers (CF) that affect rice yield, the nitrogen/phosphorus in ponded water, and its loss potential in paddy field. Here, an experiment with 5 levels of CF nitrogen substituted by OF nitrogen was performed during the early stage of rice growth in paddy field of Southern China. The results showed that the first 6 days and 3 days following fertilization generally were risky period for N losses and for P losses, respectively, due to corresponding high concentrations in ponded water. Compared to CF treatment, over 30% of OF substitution rates significantly decreased the daily mean TN concentrations by 24.5-32.4%, while TP concentrations unaffected and rice yield maintained comparative levels. OF substitution also improved acidic paddy soils, with the increment of 0.33-0.90 unit for ponded water pH compared to CF treatment. Conclusively, the 30-40% of CF substituted by OF based on N amounts can be considered an ecological fertilization practice for rice production to mitigate environmental pollution due to lower N losses and without significant effect of grain yield. However, the attention also must be paid concerning the rise of environmental pollution risk from NH3 volatilization and P runoff after long-term OF application.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1138207. [PMID: 36993857 PMCID: PMC10040636 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1138207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evaluation of the changes in phosphorus (P) fractions (various P forms) and their availability at different soil layers is critical for enhancing P resource use efficiency, mitigating subsequent environmental pollution, and establishing a suitable manure application strategy. However, changes in P fractions at different soil layers in response to cattle manure (M), as well as a combined cattle manure and chemical fertilizer application (M+F), remain unclear in open-field vegetable systems. If the amount of annual P input remains the same, identifying which treatment would cause a higher phosphate fertilizer use efficiency (PUE) and vegetable yield while simultaneously reducing the P surplus is especially warranted. METHODS Based on a long-term manure experiment that started in 2008, we used a modified P fractionation scheme to analyze P fractions at two soil layers for three treatments (M, M+F, and control without fertilizer application) in an open-field cabbage (Brassica oleracea) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) system, and assessed the PUE and accumulated P surplus. RESULTS The concentrations of the soil P fractions were higher in the 0-20-cm soil layer compared to the 20-40-cm layer, except for organic P (Po) and residual-P. M application significantly increased the inorganic P (Pi) (by 8.92%-72.26%) and the Po content (by 5.01%-61.23%) at the two soil layers. Compared with the control and M+F treatments, M significantly increased residual-P, Resin-P, and NaHCO3-Pi at both soil layers (by 31.9%-32.95%, 68.40%-72.60%, and 48.22%-61.04%), whereas NaOH-Pi and HCl-Pi at 0-20 cm were positively correlated with available P. Soil moderately labile-P was the predominant P component in the two soil layers (accounting for 59%-70%). With the same annual P input amount, M+CF created the highest vegetable yield (117.86 t ha-1), and PUE (37.88%) and M created the highest accumulated P surplus (128.80 kg ha-1yr-1). DISCUSSION Collectively, a combined manure-chemical fertilizer application has great potential to yield a long-term positive outcome both in terms of vegetable productivity and environmental health in open-field vegetable systems. This highlights the methods' benefits as a sustainable practice in subtropical vegetable systems. Specific attention should be given to a P balance to avoid excessive P input if a rational strategy for manure application is to be attained. This is especially the case for stem vegetables that require manure application and decreases the environmental risk of P loss in vegetable systems.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 313:115006.

Abstract
Manure amendments to agricultural soils is an excellent opportunity for sustainable utilization of agricultural waste while providing multiple benefits to improve soil quality and increase the availability of nutrients to plants, including phosphorus (P). In this study, a meta-analysis of published data from 411 independent observations based on 133 peer-reviewed papers was performed for an in depth understanding of various factors affecting the transformation of soil P pools with manure application. Manure application increased all soil inorganic P (Pi) by 58.0%-282% and organic P (Po) by 65.0%-105%, while decreasing Po/total P (TP), compared to those in unamended soils. Manure types, soil TP, and manure application rates were the important factors that influenced soil P fractions. Elevation of soil labile Pi was more pronounced with compost application, while poultry and pig manure were more beneficial for promoting soil Pi fractions and stable Po contents compared with other manure types. The manure application rate had pronounced effect on increasing the stable Po fractions. The effects of manure application on increasing soil P fractions were greater in soils with lower TP contents as compared to that in high TP soils. Manure effects on enhancing soil labile Pi and moderately labile Pi were greater in acidic soil than that in neutral and alkaline soils. In addition, soil P fractions showed significant correlation with latitude and mean annual precipitation (MAP). By integrating the impacts of manure types, soil properties, and climate, this meta-analysis would help to develop the management of manure application in a specific region of agriculture as well as promote the interpretation of the interfering factors on the soil P fractions changes in the manure-amended soils.

The Variation of Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Microbial Community Composition under Consecutive Cucumber Cropping in a Greenhouse. HORTICULTURAE 2022.

Abstract
The distribution of phosphorus (P) fractions in soil plays a decisive role in soil P bioavailability; however, the characteristics of soil P fractions under consecutive cropping in a solar greenhouse remain unclear. To evaluate the effects of the long-term successive vegetable cropping on soil P fractions and the microbial community composition in greenhouse soil, a continuous long-term cropping experiment was conducted using cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in a solar greenhouse starting from 2006 to 2018. Soil P fractions and the microbial community composition were determined using the Hedley continuous extraction method and the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) method, respectively, in the 1st, 9th, 13th, and 21st rounds of cultivation. The soil total phosphorus (TP) content increased from 0.90 g·kg−1 in the 1st round to 3.07 g·kg−1 in the 21st round of cucumber cultivation. With an increase in continuous cropping rounds, soil available phosphorus (AP) increased and the phosphorus activation coefficient (PAC) decreased, with no significant difference between the 13th and 21st rounds. After 21 rounds of continuous cropping, the soil organic matter (SOM) content was 16.34 g·kg−1, 1.42 times that of the 1st round. The abundance of soil bacteria, actinomycetes, Gram-negative bacteria (G−), Gram-positive bacteria (G+), and total PLFAs initially increased with continuous cropping rounds, but then decreased significantly, and the ratios of fungi:bacteria (F/B) and G+/G− bacteria also increased significantly with continuous cropping rounds. The contents of soil labile P, moderately labile P, and non-labile P increased significantly over 21 continuous cropping rounds. Together, these results demonstrate that long-term continuous cropping can directly lead to the accumulation of P fractions, but it can also affect the abundance of actinomycetes through SOM enrichment, which indirectly leads to the accumulation of non-labile P. This study provides a theoretical basis for future soil P fertilizer management and vegetable production sustainability.

Leached phosphorus apportionment and future management strategies across the main soil areas and cropping system types in northern China. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 805:150441. [PMID: 34818792 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Excess phosphorus (P) leached from high fertiliser input cropping systems in northern China is having detrimental effects on water quality. Before improved management can be directed at specific soils and cropping system types estimates of P leached loss apportionment and mitigation potentials across the main soil (fluvo-aquic soil, FAS; cinnamon soil, CS; black soil, BS) areas and cropping systems (protected vegetable fields, PVFs; open vegetable fields, OVFs; cereal fields, CFs) are needed. The present study designed and implemented conventional fertilisation and low input system trials at 75 sites inclusive of these main soils and cropping system types in northern China. At all sites, a uniform lysimeter design (to 0.9 m depth) enabled the collection and analysis of leachate samples from 7578 individual events between 2008 and 2018. In addition, site-specific static and dynamic activity data were recorded. Results showed that annual total phosphorus (TP) leached losses across the main soil areas and cropping systems were 4.99 × 106 kg in northern China. A major finding was PVFs contributed to 48.5% of the TP leached losses but only accounted for 5.7% of the total cropping areas. The CFs and OVFs accounted for 40.3% and 11.2% of the TP leached losses, respectively. Across northern China, the TP leached losses in PVFs and OVFs were greatest in FAS areas followed by CS and BS areas. The higher TP leached losses in FAS areas were closely correlated with greater P fertiliser inputs and irrigation practices. From a management perspective in PVFs and OVFs systems, a decrease of P inputs by 10-30% would not negatively affect yields while protecting water quality. The present study highlights the importance of decreasing P inputs in PVFs and OVFs and supporting soil P nutrient advocacy for farmers in China.
