其他摘要 | The availability of trace elements in soils has become a focus in the fields of agricultural
and environmental sciences. Fertilization is an important way for trace elements to enter the
soils. Clarifying and revealing the relationship between fertilization and the availability of
trace elements in soils can provide scientific reference for agricultural practice. In this paper,
the contents, fractions, distribution characteristics and changes of trace elements in soils under
long-term fertilization were studied, the factors affecting the availability of trace elements in
soils were analyzed, and the mechanism of the changes was explored. The main conclusions
were as follows:
(1)The soil pH value and CaCO 3 content were decreased after long-term crop planting
and fertilization, while the content of soil organic matter was increased. The largest decrease
of soil pH value was observed at 0-15 cm depth in the continuous alfalfa cropping system,
which was decreased by 0.44 pH units compared with the fallow soil in 2015. In the
crop-legume rotation cropping system, soil CaCO 3 content was reduced by 48% compared
with that in 2002 at 0-15 cm depth. Soil organic matter accumulated significantly in the
alfalfa continuous cropping system, and it was increased by 134.9% at 0-15 cm depth
compared with the fallow soil. Fertilization increased the available P content in soils,
compared with the no-fertilizer control, the application of N and P fertilizers and manure
resulted in 34.3 times and 11.69 times increase in the crop-legume rotation cropping system at
0-15 cm and 15-30 cm depths, respectively. The ratio of humic acid and fulvic acid in soils
was more than 1 under continuous fertilization. The application of manure increased soil total
reducing substance, the crop-legume rotation cropping system had a 107.14% increase under
the application of N and P fertilizers and manure at 0-15 cm depth compared with the
no-fertilizer control.
(2)Soil available Cu and Fe contents were increased by crop planting and fertilization
for many years. Fertilization could improve the available Mn content. The alfalfa, wheat continuous cropping system and the application of manure could significantly improve the
available Zn content. The largest increases of the available Cu, Mn contents at 0-15 cm depth
in soils were respectively in the wheat continuous cropping system under the application of
manure (0.69 mg kg -1 ), the crop-legume rotation cropping system under the application of N
and P fertilizers and manure (58.91%) in 2015 compared with that in 2002. The alfalfa
continuous cropping system made soil available Zn and Fe contents increase by 1.95 times
and 2.05 times than that in 2002 at 0-15 cm depth.
(3)The main fraction of trace elements in soils was mineral-bound, oxide-bound Mn
also had the larger proportion. Compared to 2015 and 2002, the changes of the proportions of
Cu, Zn, Fe fracions were not obvious, while the change of Mn fractions was larger, the
proportions of mineral-bound, exchangeable Mn increased, and the proportions of carbonate-,
oxide-, organic matter-bound Mn decreased.
(4)The activation of Zn and Cu in soils was very small through long-term crop planting
and fertilization, but the contents of exchangeable Mn and Fe were increased. Exchangeable
Mn was increased significantly in the alfalfa continuous cropping system at 0-15 cm depth in
2015, which was 8.03 times larger than that in the fallow soil. The application of N and P
fertilizers and manure increased considerably exchangeable Fe more than the no-fertilizer
control in the crop-legume rotation cropping system at 0-15 cm depth, and the increase was
84.36%. The contents of Cu and Zn fractions were increased with the increase of crop
planting and fertilization years, but the mineral-bound Cu was increased only when the
chemical fertilizer was applied. The carbonate-, oxide-, organic matter-bound Cu were
increased considerably in the wheat continuous cropping system under the application of
manure at 0-15 cm depth, which were increased by 2.01 mg kg -1 , 1.7 mg kg -1 , 3.54 mg kg -1
compared with that in 2002, respectively. The alfalfa continuous cropping system increased
soil oxide-bound Zn at 0-15 cm depth, the increase was 94.26% compared with that in 2002.
Crop planting only reduced carbonate-bound Mn content. Carbonate-bound Mn content
reduced more than that in 2002 in the alfalfa cropping system at 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm depths,
which were decreased by 59.95 mg kg-1 and 35.65 mg kg-1 respectively. The wheat
continuous cropping system increased organic matter-bound Mn significantly at 15-30 cm
depth; the increase was 2.63 times compared with the fallow soil. The different fractions of Fe
in soils were increased in the wheat continuous cropping system. Carbonate-bound Fe were
increased by 114.52% and 183.69%, organic matter-bound Fe were increased by 1.08 times
and 3.3 times respectively at 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm depths compared with that in 2002 under
no fertilizer. Fertilization almost decreased the contents of different Mn and Fe fractions. The
crop-legume rotation cropping system significantly increased organic matter-bound Mn, and the increase was 8.2 times compared with the no-fertilizer control.
(5)Soil pH value had significant negative correlation with the available Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe
under long-term crop planting and fertilization, the available P, humic acid, fulvic acid were
opposite. Soil organic matter, total reducing substance significantly negatively related with the
available Cu, and the available Mn, Zn and Fe were on the contrary. Soil moisture positively
related with the available Cu and Zn, but it had negative correlation with the available Mn and
Fe. The highest direct path coefficients with DTPA-Cu, Mn, Zn and Fe in soils were soil
moisture (0.781), humic acid (0.652), organic matter (0.895) and organic matter (0.83),
respectively. The higher negative direct path coefficients with DTPA-Cu, Mn and Fe were
total reducing substance (-0.509), fulvic acid (-0.595), CaCO 3 (-0.501).
(6)Exchangeable Cu, Mn and Fe positively correlated with the available Cu, Mn and
Fe, and the direct path coefficients were the highest, which were 0.829, 0.445 and 0.122,
respectively, therefore exchangeable fraction was the direct and major source of the available
Cu, Mn and Fe in soils. Carbonate-bound Cu had the positive correlation with the available
Cu, and the indirect path coefficient between carbonate-bound Cu and exchangeable Cu was
largest (0.479), which indicated that it could increase the content of the available Cu in soils
by the transformation to exchangeable Cu. The direct path coefficient between mineral-bound
Cu and exchangeable Cu was 0.571; it showed that mineral-bound Cu could be regarded as
the repository of the available Cu in soils. The correlation coefficients, direct path coefficients
between carbonate-bound, organic matter-bound and the available Mn, Zn and Fe were
positive, which indicated that these two fractions were the source of the available Mn, Zn and
Fe in soils. Oxide-bound Zn was significantly positively correlated with the available Zn, and
it was also an available source of zinc in soils.
(7)The long-term application of microelement fertilizer could increase the soil organic
matter, total reducing substance, the increases were the largest under the application of Cu
fertilizer in surface soils in 2015, which were 25% and 24.74% respectively. The application
of microelement fertilizer made soil available P, CaCO 3 , humic acid and fulvic acid contents
almost decrease. The contents of CaCO 3 at 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm depths were decreased
significantly, and the decreases were 32.35% and 41.25% respectively compared with the
control. The application of Zn fertilizer resulted in the available P the largest decrease in the
suface soil, the decrease was 55%. The ratio of humic acid and fulvic acid was less than 1
after the application of microelement fertilizer. Humic acid content was reduced most under
the application of Mn fertilizer in the surface soil, and the decline was 77.87%. The biggest
increase of fulvic acid content was found at 15-30 cm depth under the application of Zn
fertilizer, the increase was 2.27 times compared with the control. The contents of total Cu, Zn and the available Cu, Zn in soils were increased
significantly after long-term application of microelement fertilizer; the phenomenon of
surface accumulation was obvious. The contents of total Cu, Zn were increased by 131.82%
and 108.71%, the available Cu, Zn were increased by 6.03 times and 6.97 times in the surface
soil compare with the control in 2015. The changes of soil total Mn, the available Mn were
not obvious. Compared to 2015 and 2001, the increase of total Mn was less than 12%.
Compared with the control, the available Mn at 30-45 cm depth was increased most, the
increase was 26.54% in 2015, and the increases of other soil depths were less than 6%. The
proportion of exchangeable Cu, Zn in the total Cu,Zn had a significant increase after the
application of microelement fertilizer, while the change of the proportion of different Mn
fractions in total Mn was not obvious. The contents of Cu, Mn, Zn fractions were increased
with the increase of fertilization age, especially in the surface soil, but the mineral-bound Mn
was opposite. The oxide-, carbonate-bound Cu had a larger increase in the surface soil, which
were 23.46 times and 16.35 times higher than that in the control soils. Soil properties had no
obvious correlation with the available Cu, Mn, Zn, while had some influences on the fractions
of trace element: humic acid was significantly negatively correlated with other Cu fractions in
addition to exchangeable Cu and organic matter-bound Mn; fulvic acid had a significant
positive correlation with oxide-bound Zn. There was a significant positive correlation
between the available Cu and carbonate-, oxide- and organic matter-bound Cu, the largest
load of the second principal component was exchangeable Cu, thus these four fractions were
the source of soil available Cu. The available Mn was significantly positively correlated with
exchangeable Mn; the loads of oxide- and the organic matter-bound Mn were larger in the
first principal component, which indicated that these three fractions were closely related to the
available Mn in soils. The available Zn had significant positive correlation with exchangeable,
oxide- and organic matter-bound Zn; it showed that these three Zn fractions had greater
contribution to the available Zn.
(8)The interactions between applying microelement fertilizer and soil available trace
elements were as follows: Zn restrained Cu, but Cu did not restrain Zn. Mn was beneficial to
Cu, while Cu restrained Mn. Zn restrained Mn, but Mn did not restrain Zn. Mn fertilizer was
conducive to the increase of the available Fe in soils.
