湿地土壤是温室气体重要的源和汇,认识湿地生态系统氮循环过程有助于预测氮循环对未来气候变化的响应与反馈机制。为探讨硝化作用和反硝化作用对土壤水位变化和刈割的响应机制,依托于2013年在青藏高原东部若尔盖泥炭地南部湿地设置的野外实验,通过在样地周围挖掘不同深度的排水沟模拟水位下降,结合刈割处理,研究水位下降和刈割对泥炭地土壤氨氧化古菌(Ammonia-oxidizing archaea,AOA)、氨氧化细菌(Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria,AOB)和反硝化细菌(Denitrifying bacteria)丰度的影响。2014年7月取样分析结果表明:水位下降显著降低土壤含水量,水位下降与刈割均显著降低土壤呼吸;氨氧化及反硝化微生物功能基因丰度在各处理间无显著差异,但刈割及其与水位下降的交互作用显著影响AOA-amoA与AOB-amoA基因丰度比。刈割处理显著增加AOB-amoA基因相对丰度,但对AOA-amoA基因丰度无显著影响,揭示AOB可能在湿地土壤硝化过程中占主导地位。土壤nirS基因丰度显著高于nirK基因,表明nirS基因对水位下降及刈割的响应更为敏感。随着土壤水位的下降,刈割促进了由AOB主导的氨氧化过程,而反硝化微生物丰度的增加削减了氨氧化产物硝酸盐的积累,继而降低了土壤硝酸盐含量。

关于外界环境变化对若尔盖湿地土壤氮素的影响已开展了一些研究。例如:李丽等[13]研究表明泥炭地排水、地下水位降低是土壤氮素流失的重要原因;赵宁等[14]发现轻度放牧显著增加了土壤硝化速率和净矿化速率。土壤微生物丰度与群落结构对湿地水位下降、土壤养分含量变化响应较为敏感[15-16]。有研究表明,表层土壤中古菌的丰度随水位下降而下降[15],而水位变化和刈割通过影响土壤中氧气的扩散速率和氧化还原电位以及减少土壤碳源的输入影响土壤产甲烷菌和甲烷氧化菌的生长。关于功能微生物对水位下降的响应大多集中在与碳循环相关的产甲烷菌和甲烷氧化菌[17-18]。然而,关于参与氮循环的功能微生物对环境因子的响应机制尚不明确。有研究表明若尔盖湿地AOA多样性指数较低,且与土壤铵态氮和硝态氮含量显著相关[19];另有研究表明土壤水分可能是影响氨氧化和反硝化微生物群落的重要因素[20]。为探究湿地土壤氮循环功能微生物对环境干扰的响应机制,以青藏高原东部若尔盖湿地南部的泥炭湿地为试验样地,以在样地周边挖掘不同深度的排水沟来模拟水位下降,用刈割模拟土地管理方式的变化,研究人类活动干扰对土壤理化性质、微生物活性、氨氧化(AOA-amoA和AOB-amoA)和反硝化(nirK和nirS)功能微生物丰度的影响。

1 材料与方法

1.1 实验样地与设计

试验样地位于四川省阿坝州红原县青藏高原东部若尔盖湿地南部的高原,坐标 102°33′E、32°48′N,海拔3561 m。本研究区域分布在若尔盖高寒地区季节性积水区的高寒草甸湿地[21]。该地区泥炭层厚度在0.3~10 m之间,干物质积累平均速率为0.03 g·m-2·a-1[22]。试验前土壤基本理化性质如下:土壤pH值在6.6~7.0之间[23],总碳(Total carbon,TC)平均含量为 58.6 mg·L-1,总氮(Total nitrogen,TN)及可溶性有机碳(Dissolved organic carbon,DOC)含量分别为 1.4、25.7 mg·L-1[24]。研究样地植被类型属于沼泽草甸,优势植物种包括发草、穗三毛、鹅绒萎陵菜、高山嵩草等。土壤为泥炭土,年均温为1.1℃,年均降水量为752 mm,80%以上降水集中在5—9月[25]。

为评估水位下降和刈割对土壤化学性质和土壤微生物的影响,我们采用了配对裂区设计,通过在样地周围挖掘不同深度的排水沟,来模拟土壤地下水位下降,其宽度为0.5 m,共设计2个梯度,分别为20 cm(样地周围挖掘20 cm排水沟)及50 cm(样地周围挖掘50 cm排水沟),用于模拟浅水位(S)和深水位(H)。样地排水沟与一条240 m长、0.5 m宽、1 m深的主排水沟相连,排水样地随机分布在距主排水沟两侧30 m处;以不挖排水沟的样地作为对照,且随机分布在两侧排水样地外30 m处,相邻样地间隔30 m,每个设计6个重复,共18个6 m×6 m的区组;每个区组有2个2 m×2 m的亚区,分别为刈割(M)与对照处理,每个亚区间隔3 m且距样地边缘1 m。因此,本样地共6个处理,即正常水位下不刈割(CK)及刈割处理(M),浅水位不刈割(S),浅水位刈割(SM),深水位不刈割(H)及深水位刈割(HM)处理,每个处理6个重复,共36个亚区。同时,每个亚区通过刈割保持8 cm植物群落,以不刈割作为对照。样地具体设置如图1,该模拟试验开始于2013年5月。

土壤样品采集于2014年7月,每个亚区用直径5 cm的土钻随机取3个样品混合,采集0~20 cm土壤样品。所有的样品均在3 d内运到实验室。土壤样品通过2 mm筛去除草根和石块,一部分新鲜土壤储存在4℃用于分析基本理化性质,另一部分经冷冻干燥后存储在-80℃用于分子生物学指标分析。

1.2 土壤理化性质和微生物活性测定

在105℃烘箱中烘干12 h来测量土壤含水量(Soil moisture,SM)。采用 pH 计,以土水比为 1∶2.5(g∶mL)来测定土壤 pH 值(Delta 320,Mettler-Toledo Instruments Co.,Shanghai,China)。土壤铵态氮(NH+4-N)和硝态氮(NO-3-N)用1 mol·L-1氯化钾提取(土壤∶水=1 g∶5 mL),用连续流动分析仪(SAN++,Skalar,Holand)测定浓度。

通过构建偏最小二乘(PLS)、支持向量回归(SVR)、人工神经网络(ANN)、主成分分析-支持向量回归(PCA-SVR)、主成分分析-人工神经网络(PCA-ANN)5种模型对造纸废水处理过程中出水化学需氧量(COD)和出水悬浮固形物(SS)浓度进行预测。计算结果表明,非线性SVR和ANN建模方法的预测效果要优于线性PLS的预测效果;在5种模型中,基于PCA降维模型的软测量方法可以获得更好的预测效果,且PCA-ANN的预测效果最优。考虑到PCA-ANN与PCA-SVR 2种模型的预测精度受各自模型参数的影响较大,本课题组下一步将研究模型参数的选择对模型预测精度的影响。

硝化潜势(Potential nitrification rate,PNR)的测量使用氯酸盐抑制方法:将5.0 g新鲜土壤加入到50 mL离心管中,并向其中加入20 mL磷酸缓冲溶液(PBS)(NaCl 8 g·L-1,KCl 0.2 g·L-1,Na2HPO41.44 g·L-1,KH2PO40.24 g·L-1,pH 7.4),内含 2.64 mg 1 mmol·L-1(NH4)2SO4和 0.024 5 mg 50 mg·L-1KClO3来抑制亚硝酸盐(NO-2)氧化为硝酸盐(NO-3)。土样于25℃条件下,在摇床中以180 r·min-1的速度培养24 h后用5 mL 2 mol·L-1氯化钾提取亚硝酸盐(NO-2),含有 NO-2的上清液以N-(1-萘胺)乙二胺盐酸盐显色,用分光光度法在530 nm波长下测定浓度[26]。

土壤异养呼吸(Heterotrophic respiration,Rh)的测定方法如下:将10 g新鲜土壤加入到120 mL血清瓶中,恒温培养箱25℃条件下培养24 h,收集二氧化碳气体(CO2)并用气相色谱仪(Agilent 7890A GC System)测定浓度[27]。

1.3 土壤DNA提取和实时定量PCR测定

称取0.25 g冻土,按照PowerSoilTMTotal DNA Isolation 试剂盒(Mo Bio Laboratories,Inc.,San Diego,CA,USA)提供的方法提取土壤总DNA。采用Nano-Drop分光光度计(NanoDrop Technologies,USA)测定DNA纯度和浓度。将DNA样品稀释10倍后用于分子实验的模板,并存储于-20℃。采用iCycler iQ5仪器(Bio-Rad Laboratories,Inc.,USA)进行 AOA-amoA、AOB-amoA、nirK和nirS基因的定量PCR实验,使用的引物和反应条件在表1中列出。

功能基因的定量测定在iCycler iQ5仪器(Bio-Rad Laboratories,Inc.,USA)上完成,用 SYBR GREEN作为荧光标记,反应体系为 25 μL,包含 12.5 μL 2 x SYBR Premix Ex TaqTM(Takara Biotechnology,Japan),每个引物 0.5 μL(10 μmol·L-1)和 2 μL 的 DNA 模板(1~10 ng),其他用灭菌水补足。使用10倍连续稀释的质粒作为模板绘制标准曲线,所有基因的扩增效率在85%~100%之间,R2为0.99。利用溶解曲线和琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测扩增产物的特异性。

1.4 统计分析

R 3.3.2及SPSS19软件被用来进行统计分析,当P<0.05时,差异显著。使用重复试验的双因素方差分析(Duncan检验)评估处理(模拟水位下降、刈割及二者交互作用)对土壤化学性质、微生物活性及功能微生物丰度的影响。采用Spearman相关分析来揭示土壤化学性质与土壤微生物活性及功能基因丰度间的相关性。响应比率(Response ratio)用来分析水位下降与刈割对土壤微生物的影响,在95%的置信区间下,平均值与零重叠表示处理对土壤微生物无显著影响,平均值不与零重叠表示处理对土壤微生物影响显著[32]。

2 结果与分析

2.1 模拟水位下降与刈割对土壤化学性质和微生物活性的影响

模拟水位下降与刈割对土壤化学性质和微生物活性的影响见表2和表3。不论是否刈割,土壤含水量随地下水位下降显著降低,土壤含水量在对照处理(CK)中最高,在深水位处理中最低。水位下降显著增加了土壤pH值,且同一水位下刈割处理的土壤pH值均显著低于对照组;水位下降与刈割对土壤硝态氮含量有显著的交互作用,硝态氮含量在对照处理中最高,在深水位处理中最低。水位下降与刈割均显著影响了土壤呼吸,土壤呼吸在对照处理中最高,深水位与刈割二者交互作用处理中最低。水位下降和刈割对土壤硝化潜势和铵态氮均没有显著影响。Spearman相关分析发现:土壤含水量与土壤呼吸显著正相关(ρ=0.549,P=0.004)。

2.2 模拟水位下降与刈割对氨氧化和反硝化微生物丰度的影响

模拟水位下降与刈割对土壤氨氧化(AOA-amoA、AOB-amoA)和反硝化微生物(nirK、nirS)功能基因丰度的影响见图2。总体上讲,AOA-amoA基因丰度高于AOB-amoA基因丰度,nirS基因丰度高于nirK基因丰度,且各基因丰度在处理间无显著差异。AOA-amoA基因丰度范围为每克干土(0.43~1.05)×106拷贝数,AOB-amoA基因丰度范围为(0.11~1.33)×105拷贝数,nirK基因丰度范围为(0.77~4.44)×105拷贝数,nirS基因丰度范围为(1.36~5.74)×108拷贝数。刈割、水位下降与刈割二者交互作用对AOA-amoA与AOB-amoA基因丰度比有显著影响(P=0.016;P=0.045)(图 2e),对 nirK 与 nirS 基因丰度比、氨氧化与反硝化微生物丰度比无显著影响。

进一步分析各基因相对丰度对水位下降及刈割的响应敏感度,发现刈割显著增加了AOB-amoA基因相对丰度(图3a)。Spearman相关分析发现,AOA-amoA与AOB-amoA基因丰度比与铵态氮含量显著负相关(ρ=-0.604,P<0.001),与土壤含水量(ρ=0.406,P=0.044)、硝态氮含量(ρ=0.531,P=0.006)显著正相关,nirS基因丰度与硝态氮含量显著负相关(ρ=-0.403,P=0.046)。

3 讨论

3.1 模拟水位下降与刈割对土壤化学性质和微生物活性的影响

异养呼吸是指土壤微生物分解有机质释放CO2的过程[33],是泥炭湿地有机碳储备降低的影响因素之一,主要与土壤水分和有机质含量显著相关[34]。土壤异养呼吸主要由于土壤有机质和植物残留物的降解,与自养呼吸相比具有更高的水分敏感性[35]。本研究发现模拟水位下降与刈割均显著降低了土壤异养呼吸,主要与土壤中可溶性有机碳的降低有关。土壤呼吸与含水量显著正相关,土壤水分的降低通过影响可溶性有机碳的有效性间接影响土壤呼吸[36-37]。Wu等[11]经过为期3年的碳动态观测,发现水位下降显著促进了土壤可溶性有机碳分解,进而导致该样地0~20 cm土壤有机碳含量下降了18.5%。除此之外,土壤温度也是影响土壤呼吸强度的因素之一。有研究表明,排水引起的地下水位下降,致使土壤有机质暴露于更多的有氧环境中,进而加速有机质氧化分解,导致泥炭层收缩,而泥炭厚度的降低则会引起土壤有机碳储量的降低[38]。此外,刈割所导致的凋落物输入减少,可能会引起可降解基质减少[39],同时也会降低土壤微生物生物量[40],进而降低土壤异养呼吸。可见,水位下降与刈割主要通过影响微生物生长所需的底物可利用性进而影响土壤异养呼吸。有研究表明,微生物活性随土壤含水量的降低而降低,进而影响土壤呼吸,而随着时间推移微生物活性降低逐渐减缓,趋于逐渐适应干旱胁迫[41]。本研究采样时距样地设置仅为1年,而持续水位下降条件下土壤呼吸的变化情况还有待进一步研究。

水位下降与刈割二者交互作用对土壤硝态氮含量有显著影响,与其他的研究结果一致[42-43]。有研究指出,水位下降可以促进土壤氮素矿化,从而促进硝化与反硝化过程,增加N2O的释放量;且高寒湿地水位在-2 cm至-20 cm之间有利于硝化和反硝化的共同进行,产生较多的N2O,进而显著降低土壤硝态氮含量[43]。当水位进一步下降时,则不利于反硝化细菌活动,硝态氮含量应有所增加。然而,本研究中硝态氮含量持续降低,究其原因,可能是在有氧的条件下,发生了氨氧化微生物的反硝化作用,将亚硝酸盐还原为N2O,进而显著降低土壤中硝态氮含量[44]。

3.2 模拟水位下降与刈割对AOA-amoA、AOB-amoA、nirK和nirS基因丰度的影响

模拟水位下降显著降低土壤含水量,水的可利用性会显著影响土壤养分循环[45]。有人在对若尔盖湿地进行研究时发现,土壤水分含量与土壤有机碳、氮含量正相关[46],而土壤碳、氮含量被认为是土壤微生物生长的主要限制因素[47]。本研究中模拟水位下降与刈割均对土壤氨氧化微生物基因丰度无显著影响,但刈割、刈割与水位下降二者交互作用对AOA-amoA与AOB-amoA基因丰度比有显著影响。AOA-amoA与AOB-amoA基因丰度比与铵态氮含量负相关,且AOB-amoA基因的相对丰度对刈割显著响应,说明AOB可能在湿地土壤硝化过程中占主导作用。AOB-amoA基因的相对丰度在深水位刈割处理中最高,主要与水位下降所引起的土壤含水量显著降低有关,AOB是好氧微生物,水分通过控制土壤中O2的扩散而间接影响好氧微生物的活性[48];同时,刈割降低了地上部分覆盖面积,提高土壤通气性,减小O2的扩散阻力,进而促进好氧微生物的生长。

通常情况下,AOB-amoA基因相对丰度的增加会提高反硝化作用的底物硝酸盐含量,进而促进由反硝化微生物驱动的反硝化作用,促进硝酸盐被还原为N2O或N2,导致氮素流失。然而,本研究中反硝化功能基因nirK和nirS丰度无显著变化,但水位下降与刈割二者交互作用显著降低了土壤硝态氮含量,说明有其他途径导致了土壤硝酸盐含量的降低。有研究表明,氨氧化微生物在有氧条件下,会将亚硝酸盐还原为一氧化氮(NO),即发生氨氧化微生物的反硝化作用,且AOB是在有氧的状态下发生氨氧化微生物反硝化作用的主要驱动者[42]。本研究中AOB-amoA基因相对丰度的增加印证了这一观点。

图3 氨氧化与反硝化基因丰度对刈割(a)与模拟水位下降(b)的响应Figure 3 Response ratio(RR)of relative abundance of functional genes to mowing(a)and water table lowing-dwon(b)

本研究中nirS基因丰度显著高于nirK,与其他研究结果相一致[49]。nirS基因丰度与土壤硝态氮含量显著负相关,说明nirS对水位下降及刈割的响应更敏感,在反硝化过程中可能起着比nirK更为重要的作用。这主要与土壤含水量的显著变化有关。有研究表明,以nirS基因为代表的反硝化微生物群落组成对水分变化响应显著[50]。可见,水分条件是影响土壤反硝化过程功能微生物基因丰度的关键因子。

4 结论

(1)土壤水位下降显著降低土壤含水量,限制了可溶性有机碳的有效性,从而间接影响微生物生长所需的底物和能量来源,降低土壤异养呼吸。

(2)水位下降和刈割对氨氧化微生物与反硝化细菌基因丰度无显著影响,但AOB-amoA基因相对丰度对刈割显著响应,表明AOB可能在湿地土壤硝化过程中占主导作用。

(3)随着土壤水位的下降,刈割促进了由AOB主导的氨氧化过程,而反硝化微生物丰度的增加削减了氨氧化产物硝酸盐的积累,继而降低了土壤硝酸盐的含量。

Wetlands serve as the main sources and sinks of greenhouse gases.Understanding nitrogen cycling in wetlands would greatly help in the assessment of their response and feedback to global climate change.To investigate the effect of water table lowering and mowing on soil nitrification and denitrification in wetlands,a simulated water table lowering via digging drainage ditches at different depths and mowing experiment was set up in the Zoige peatland in the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in 2013.The abundances of ammonia-oxidizing archaea,ammonia-oxidizing bacteria,and denitrifying groups were detected using a real-time PCR approach.Results based on the samples taken in July 2014 showed soil moisture decreased significantly with water table lowering.Both water table lowering and mowing significantly decreased soil heterotrophic respiration.The abundances of ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers did not change under the treatments of water table lowering and mowing,whereas the ratio of abundance of AOA-amoA to AOB-amoA was significantly influenced by both mowingand interaction of mowing and water table lowering.Mowing significantly increased the relative abundance of the AOB-amoA gene but had no influence on that of the AOA-amoA gene,suggesting that the predominant role of AOB in ammonia oxidation.The abundance of nirS gene was higher than that of the nirK gene,indicating that the nirS gene was more sensitive to water table lowering and mowing.With the decline of water table,mowing promoted AOB-driven ammonia oxidation,while higher abundance of denitrifiers mitigated the accumulation of nitrate originated from ammonia oxidation,resulting in low soil nitrate content.
