水炭耦合对芦笋根际土壤微生物群落结构的影响

    Effects of water-biochar coupling on asparagus rhizosphere soil microbial community structure

    • 摘要: 根际土壤微生物是维持土壤健康与活力的关键因素,然而土壤水分和生物炭耦合作用对根际土壤微生态环境存在一定的影响。为了探索水炭耦合对芦笋根际土壤微生物群落结构的影响以及调控芦笋根际生态系统的机制,该研究以芦笋为研究对象,设置了4个灌溉水平(W0:重度亏缺灌溉,I = 320 mm;W1:中度亏缺灌溉,I = 375 mm;W2:轻度亏缺灌溉,I = 430 mm;W3:充分灌溉,I = 480 mm,I 为总灌溉量) 和4个生物炭施用水平 (0(B0)、10 t/hm2(B10)、20 t/hm2(B20)和 30 t/hm2(B30))进行田间定位试验,采用Illumina新一代测序(next-generation sequencing,NGS)技术,研究不同水炭耦合处理对芦笋根际土壤微生物群落结构和丰度的影响。研究结果表明,中度亏缺灌溉促进了芦笋根际土壤细菌丰度和多样性的形成,随着土壤水分的增加芦笋根际土壤真菌相对丰度增加了4.48%~22.05%;与未施加生物炭相比,施用生物炭增加了根际土壤微生物的丰度和多样性。与B0和B10处理相比,B20(20 t/hm2)处理增加了根际细菌群落数量,降低了真菌群落数量;而施用30 t/hm2生物炭对两者均存在明显抑制作用。此外,不同水炭耦合条件下对细菌和真菌群落的结构没有显著影响,但是与未施用生物炭处理相比,施加生物炭可以减少根腐病致病菌镰刀菌(Fusarium)的生长与繁殖,改善芦笋根际土壤微环境。在W1B20处理下不仅促进了细菌群落的生长,而且抑制了有害真菌群落的丰度,更有利于调控芦笋根际生态系统。该研究可为多年生芦笋连作根际土壤微生态调控和西南季节性干旱区农业可持续发展提供理论依据。

       

      Abstract: Soil microbes at the rhizosphere are one of the key factors in maintaining soil health. However, it is unclear on the effect of different water-biochar coupling on the microbial environment of soil at the rhizosphere. Particularly, asparagus is one type of perennial herbaceous plant. There is a seriously continuous cropping disorder in asparagus, with the growth of years, leading to weak growth, low yield, and quality. The crop failure can be attributed to the soil's physicochemical properties and the unbalance of the rhizosphere soil microbial community. This study aims to explore the effects of water-biochar coupling on the structure of soil microbial communities in the asparagus rhizosphere. The mechanisms were also given to regulate the rhizosphere ecosystem. The field positioning experiment of asparagus planting was carried out on four irrigation levels (W0: severe deficit irrigation, I = 320 mm; W1: middle deficit irrigation, I = 375 mm; W2: mild deficit irrigation, I = 430 mm; W3: adequate irrigation, I = 480 mm, I represents the amount of irrigation) and four biochar application levels (0 t/hm2 (B0), 10 t/hm2 (B10), 20 t/hm2 (B20), and 30 t/hm2 (B30)). Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was used to investigate the changes in the structure and abundance of the soil microbial community in the asparagus rhizosphere using water-biochar coupling treatments. The results showed that moderate deficit irrigation was promoted to form the bacterial abundance and diversity of asparagus rhizosphere soil. The relative abundance of soil fungi increased by 4.48% to 22.05% in the asparagus rhizosphere, with the increasing soil moisture; Biochar application increased the abundance and diversity of rhizosphere soil microorganisms. Furthermore, the number of rhizosphere bacterial communities increased, whereas, the number of fungal communities decreased under the B20 (20 t/hm2) treatment, compared with the B0 and B10 treatments. There was a significant inhibitory in the application of 30 t/hm2 biochar. In addition, there was no significant effect on the structure of bacterial and fungal communities under different water-biochar coupling. The biochar application reduced the growth and reproduction of the root rot causal fungus Fusarium, indicating a better soil microenvironment asparagus rhizosphere. Optimal deficit irrigation was maintained on the microbial diversity and community stability. The higher numbers of soil bacterial communities were observed in the medium and mild deficit irrigation than those in the rest. There was the greatest community richness and diversity of rhizosphere soil bacteria at the medium deficit irrigation level. Therefore, the W1B20 treatment was more favorable to regulating the asparagus rhizosphere ecosystem, where the growth of the bacterial community was promoted to suppress the abundance of harmful fungal communities. This finding can also provide the theoretical basis to regulate the soil microcosm of the asparagus rhizosphere in continuous cropping, particularly for sustainable agriculture in the seasonal arid areas of Southwest China.
