Wang S, Liu J, Liu Y, Tian C. Application of rhizobium inoculation in regulating heavy metals in legumes: A meta-analysis. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 945:173923. [PMID: 38880144 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173923] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Rhizobium inoculation has been widely applied to alleviate heavy metal (HM) stress in legumes grown in contaminated soils, but it has generated inconsistent results with regard to HM accumulation in plant tissues. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the performance of Rhizobium inoculation for regulating HM in legumes and reveal the general influencing factors and processes. The meta-analysis showed that Rhizobium inoculation in legumes primarily increased the total HM uptake by stimulating plant biomass growth rather than HM phytoavailability. Inoculation had no significant effect on the average shoot HM concentration (p > 0.05); however, it significantly increased root HM uptake by 61 % and root HM concentration by 7 % (p < 0.05), indicating safe agricultural production while facilitating HM phytostabilisation. Inoculation decreased shoot HM concentrations and increased root HM uptake in Vicia, Medicago and Glycine, whereas it increased shoot HM concentrations in Sulla, Cicer and Vigna. The effects of inoculation on shoot biomass were suppressed by nitrogen fertiliser and native microorganisms, and the effect on shoot HM concentration was enhanced by high soil pH, organic matter content, and phosphorous content. Inoculation-boosted shoot nutrient concentration was positively correlated with increased shoot biomass, whereas the changes in pH and organic matter content were insufficient to significantly affect accumulation outcomes. Nitrogen content changes in the soil were positively correlated with changes in root HM concentration and uptake, whereas nitrogen translocation changes in the tissues were positively correlated with changes in HM translocation. Phosphorus solubilisation could improve HM phytoavailability at the expense of slight biomass promotion. These results suggest that the diverse growth-promoting characteristics of Rhizobia influence the trade-off between biomass-HM phytoavailability and HM translocation, impacting HM accumulation outcomes. Our findings can assist in optimising the utilisation of legume-Rhizobium systems in HM-contaminated soils.

Effects of environmental changes on soil respiration in arid, cold, temperate, and tropical zones. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 952:175943. [PMID: 39218094 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Soil respiration (Rs) is projected to be substantially affected by climate change, impacting the storage, equilibrium, and movement of terrestrial carbon (C). However, uncertainties surrounding the responses of Rs to climate change and soil nitrogen (N) enrichment are linked to mechanisms specific to diverse climate zones. A comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted to address this, evaluating the global effects of warming, increased precipitation, and N enrichment on Rs across various climate zones and ecosystems. Data from 123 studies, encompassing a total of 10,377 worldwide observations, were synthesized for this purpose. Annual Rs were modeled and their uncertainties were associated with a 1-km2 resolution global Rs database spanning from 1961 to 2022. Calibrating Rs using ensemble machine learning (EML) and employing 10-fold cross-validation, 13 environmental covariates were utilized. The meta-analysis findings revealed an upsurge in Rs rates in response to warming, with tropical, arid, and temperate climate zones exhibiting increases of 12 %, 13 %, and 16 %, respectively. Furthermore, increased precipitation led to stimulated Rs rates of 11 % and 9 % in tropical and temperate zones, respectively, while N deposition affected Rs in cold (+6 %) and tropical (+5 %) climate zones. The machine learning technique estimated the global soil respiration to range from 91 to 171 Pg C yr-1, with an average Rs of 700 ± 300 g C m-2 yr-1. The values ranged between 314 and 2500 g C m-2 yr-1, with the lowest and highest values observed in cold and tropical zones, respectively. Spatial variation in Rs was most pronounced in low-latitude areas, particularly in tropical rainforests and monsoon zones. Temperature, precipitation, and N deposition were identified as crucial environmental factors exerting significant influences on Rs rates worldwide. These factors underscore the interconnectedness between climate and ecosystem processes, therefore requiring explicit considerations of different climate zones when assessing responses of Rs to global change.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 249:118387. [PMID: 38336162 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118387] [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: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Achieving a balance between greenhouse gas mitigation and biomass production in grasslands necessitates optimizing irrigation frequency and nitrogen addition, which significantly influence grassland productivity and soil nitrous oxide emissions, and consequently impact the ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange. This study aimed to elucidate these influences using a controlled mesocosm experiment where bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) was cultivated under varied irrigation frequencies (daily and every 6 days) with (100 kg ha-1) or without nitrogen addition; measurements of net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange, ecosystem respiration, soil respiration, and nitrous oxide emissions across two cutting events were performed as well. The findings revealed a critical interaction between water-filled pore space, regulated by irrigation, and nitrogen availability, with the latter exerting a more substantial influence on aboveground biomass growth and ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange than water availability. Moreover, the total dry matter was significantly higher with nitrogen addition compared to without nitrogen addition, irrespective of the irrigation frequency. In contrast, soil nitrous oxide emissions were observed to be significantly higher with increased irrigation frequency and nitrogen addition. The effects of nitrogen addition on soil respiration components appeared to depend on water availability, with autotrophic respiration seeing a significant rise with nitrogen addition under limited irrigation (5.4 ± 0.6 μmol m-2 s-1). Interestingly, the lower irrigation frequency did not result in water stress, suggesting resilience in bermudagrass. These findings highlight the importance of considering interactions between irrigation and nitrogen addition to optimize water and nitrogen input in grasslands for a synergistic balance between grassland biomass production and greenhouse gas emission mitigation.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 917:170380. [PMID: 38281640 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170380] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Future climate models indicate an enhanced severity of regional drought and frequent rewetting events, which may cause cascading impacts on soil nitrogen cycle and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, but the underlying microbial mechanism remains largely unknown. Here we report an incubation study that examined the impacts of soil moisture status and nitrification inhibitor (DCD) on the N2O-producers and N2O-reducers following the application of urea and composted swine manure in an acid soil. The soil moisture treatments included 100 % water-holding capacity (WHC) (wetting, 35.3 % gravimetric soil water content), 40 % WHC (drought, 7 % gravimetric soil water content), and 40 % to 100 % WHC (rewetting). The results showed that N2O emissions were significantly decreased under drought conditions and were significantly increased after rewetting. The resistance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nosZII, which was inhibited by urea or manure application, modulated N2O emissions under drought conditions. The resilience of the functional guilds modulated their dominant role in N2O emissions with rewetting. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, nirS-type denitrifying bacteria and nosZI showed significant resilience in response to rewetting. Significant negative relationships were observed between N2O emissions and nosZII clade under wetting condition and between N2O emissions and nosZI clade after rewetting. Our results highlighted the importance of microbial resistance and resilience in modulating N2O emissions, which help to better understand the dominant way of N2O emissions, and consequently make efficient mitigation strategies under the global climate change.
