摘要: 花岗岩弃渣堆积破坏土壤结构导致碳排放加剧, 生态修复后土壤仍存在碳库稳定性低等问题。根系作为植物-土壤-微生物互作的关键界面, 构型特征显著影响土壤有机碳的转化过程。该研究通过对比直根系紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa)根际土(MR)与非根际土(MNR)和须根系披碱草(Elymus dahuricus)根际土(PR)与非根际土(PNR)的有机碳组分含量, 结合土壤理化性质、酶活性与细菌群落特征的调控作用, 揭示根系构型对花岗岩弃渣场重构土壤有机碳组分含量的影响。结果表明: (1)两种植物均显著提高总有机碳(TOC)、溶解性有机碳(DOC)和颗粒有机碳(POC)含量; (2)须根系披碱草对TOC和DOC的根际效应(50.36%和78.60%)显著高于苜蓿(13.38%和-7.10%), 表明其对碳含量的提升作用更强; (3) PR较MR更能显著提升土壤速效养分含量, 增强纤维素酶活性, 并富集变形菌门(相对丰度41.09%), 为碳积累创造更适宜的微环境; (4)相关性分析显示, 铵态氮含量、有效磷含量及纤维素酶活性与TOC、DOC和POC含量均呈显著正相关关系。综上, 相比直根系苜蓿, 须根系披碱草对花岗岩弃渣重构土壤有机碳积累的驱动效应更为显著。该研究结果为促进花岗岩弃渣场有机碳库的稳定、生态修复植物筛选和群落配置提供理论支撑。

Abstract:

Aims The accumulation of granite spoils destroys soil structure and increases carbon emissions. Even after ecological restoration, these soils still suffer from low stability of carbon pools. As a key interface of plant-soil-microorganism interactions, root system, particularly its architecture characteristics, significantly affect the transformation of soil organic carbon. However, the effect of root architecture on the transformation of organic carbon in granite spoil dump soils is not clear yet.
Methods In this paper, we compared the organic carbon fraction contents between rhizosphere and bulk soils of the taproot system Medicago sativa (MR and MNR) and the fibrous-root system Elymus dahuricus (PR and PNR) to reveal the effects of root architecture on organic carbon fraction contents in a granite spoil dump. Furthermore, we analyzed soil physicochemical properties, enzyme activities, and bacterial community characteristics to reveal their underlying drivers.
Important findings Our results showed that: (1) total organic carbon (TOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) content were significantly increased by plants in both systems; (2) the rhizosphere effects on TOC and DOC were significantly higher in Elymus dahuricus (50.36% and 78.60%) than that in Medicago sativa (13.38% and -7.10%), suggesting a stronger effect on carbon enhancement in the fibrous-root system relative to the taproot system; (3) Compared to MR, PR was more effective at significantly increasing soil fast-acting nutrient content, enhancing cellulase activity, and enriching the Proteobacteria (relative abundance 41.09%), and thus creating a more suitable microenvironment for carbon accumulation; (4) correlation analysis showed that ammonium nitrogen, effective phosphorus and cellulase activity were significantly and positively correlated with TOC, DOC and POC contents. In summary, the driving effect of the fibrous-rooted Elymus dahuricus was more effective for organic carbon accumulation in granite spoil reconfigured soils compared to the taproot system Medicago sativa. This study provides theoretical support for the stabilization of organic carbon pools in granite dumps, and the screening and community allocation of ecological restoration plants.
