The results showed that for both soils,the microbial biomass C contents were significantly different among all the treatments, and followed the sequence in treatments of straw chopped and incorporated into 10 cm (CI10) > straw burnt and incorporated into 10 cm (BI10) > straw chopped and incorporated into 20 cm (CI20) > straw burnt and incorporated into 20 cm (BI20). Laboratory incubation of soils showed that the cumulative CO2 evolution was closely related to the soil microbial biomass C content. Carbon dioxide evolution rates (CO2-C, μg (g d) -1 ) decreased rapidly in the first two weeks’ incubation, then decreased more slowly. The initial K2SO4-extractable NH4-N and NO3-N contents were low and similar in all the treatments, and all increased gradually with the incubation time. However, net N immobilization was observed in chopped treatments for Rothamsted soils during the first 4 weeks. Nevertheless, more N mineralization occurred in neatment CI10 than any other treatment at the end of incubation for both soils. The Woburn soils could more easily suffer from the leaching of nitrate because the soils were more permeable and more N was mineralized during the incubation compared to the Rothamsted soils.展开更多

Among the four adsorption equations, the singlesurface Langmuir equation is the best. When the concentration of NH4Cl solution is 10-1 mol below, the Freundlich equation can be used.The changes of apparent standard free energy (△Go), enthalpy (△Ho) and entropy (△So) illustrate that NHk fixation in soil is an endothermic adsorption and spontaneous reaction, and the process can be enhanced by a higher temperature and clay content in soil.The "proper value of NHk fixation by soil (K1×qm) increased with increasing clay content and temperature. The heat of NHk fixation in soil (Qm) confirms the conclusions made in this paper.展开更多

A potexperiment was conducted with four treatments of CK, Si, Mn and Si+Mn to further study the effect ofcombined application of Si and Mn on rice growth on red earths. Water-soluble Si, Fe and Mn were measured,and electron probe was used to study Si, Mn, Fe and Ca in root cross sections. Combined application of Si andMn could increase water-soluble Si and Mn but reduce water-soluble Fe, thus being favorable for correctingFe toxicity. Electron probe study showed obvious differences of Si, Fe, Mn and Ca in rice roots betweenCK and the other three treatments. The combined application of Si and Mn could reduce leaf oranging andimprove rice growth. The Si+Mn treatment had a higher plant height, lower number of oranging leaves anda 25.0% higher rice yield than CK and showed a better effect on rice growth than the treatment of sole Si orMn.展开更多

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) or-anging physiological disease in newly reclaimed red earths is related to Fe toxicity. There have been considerable stud-ies on Mn and Fe counteraction, but influence of Mn and Fe counteraction on rice oranging physiological disease stillremains unknown.This paper is to study, using two soils from USA and China respectively, the relationship between Mn and Fecounteraction and the physiological disease. Analysis for water soluble and extractable Fe and Mn showed thatMn/ Fe ratios of the red earths were lower than those of the paddy soils. Fertilizing with Mn raised Mn/ Fe and re-duced oranging leaves, improved growth and increased yields. Analysis with electron probe showed that Mn treat-ment had less Fe deposit in root epidermis and more Ca and Si in roots.The results indicated that fertilizing with Mn could correct Fe toxicity. How to apply Mn and Fe counteractionin practice is worth further studying .展开更多

It was found that Si, Fe and Mn distributions in rhizosphere of the paddy soils were characterized by a depleted zone around root surface, beyond which the concentrations gradually rose. From lmm layer to 2mm layer the concentrations dropped and then rose again. Whereas Si and Fe in red earths showed no depleted zone but even accumulated zone around root surface. Mn showed an approximately even distribution in each layer and no depletion was found in root surface layers. This indicated that during rice (Oryza sativa L.)plantation, depletion and accumulation of Si, Fe and Mn in rhizosphere were important features of matured red earths by water culture. The distribution changes of Si, Fe and Mn in relation to soil-root interaction are also discussed.展开更多
