Abstract

Soil infiltration performance is a critical factor in the ecological restoration of waste dumps within arid and semi-arid regions. While the significance of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in influencing soil structure has long been acknowledged, the precise mechanism by which these fungi affect the infiltration performance of compacted soil in waste dumps remains elusive. This study, conducted over 4 years in an open-pit dump, examined the impact of artificially inoculated AM fungi on Amorpha fruticosa roots, soil porosity, and soil infiltration performance. We aimed to elucidate this intricate relationship through field infiltration tests and quantitative imaging technology. Our findings revealed that the development of A. fruticosa root significantly enhanced the soil infiltration performance and soil pore structure in the vicinity of the roots. Moreover, inoculation with AM fungi significantly improved root density characteristics, altered root morphology, and increased the average root diameter. The synergistic effect of mycorrhiza and fungi reduced the number of soil pores while increasing their mean volume and altering their geometry. Roots played a pivotal role in soil pore connectivity, with mycorrhiza and fungi significantly increasing the equivalent diameter of connected pores and the complexity of the pore network. Furthermore, inoculation with AM fungi indirectly influenced soil macroscopic pore parameters by altering root morphology. These changes in root morphology, along with alterations in soil macroscopic pore parameters, directly enhanced soil infiltration capacity. In summary, our study demonstrated that the artificial inoculation of AM fungi in open-pit dumps within arid and semi-arid areas promoted plant root growth, enhanced soil pore development, and improved soil infiltration. These findings underscored the significance of AM fungi in ecological restoration efforts.

通过在 Amorpha fruticosa 中接种丛枝菌根真菌提高露天垃圾场紧凑土壤的渗透特性:机理和效果
土壤渗透性能是干旱和半干旱地区垃圾场生态恢复的关键因素。虽然人们早已认识到丛枝菌根真菌(AM)在影响土壤结构方面的重要作用,但这些真菌影响垃圾场压实土壤渗透性能的确切机制仍然难以捉摸。本研究在露天垃圾场进行了为期 4 年的研究,考察了人工接种 AM 真菌对 Amorpha fruticosa 根系、土壤孔隙度和土壤渗透性能的影响。我们旨在通过实地渗透试验和定量成像技术来阐明这种错综复杂的关系。我们的研究结果表明,Amorpha fruticosa 根系的发展显著提高了根系附近的土壤渗透性能和土壤孔隙结构。此外,接种 AM 真菌能明显改善根系密度特征,改变根系形态,增加根系平均直径。菌根和真菌的协同作用减少了土壤孔隙的数量,同时增加了孔隙的平均体积并改变了孔隙的几何形状。根系在土壤孔隙连通性中起着关键作用,菌根和真菌显著增加了连通孔隙的等效直径和孔隙网络的复杂性。此外,接种AM真菌会通过改变根系形态间接影响土壤宏观孔隙参数。根系形态的这些变化以及土壤宏观孔隙参数的改变直接提高了土壤的渗透能力。总之,我们的研究表明,在干旱和半干旱地区的露天垃圾场中人工接种 AM 真菌可促进植物根系生长,增强土壤孔隙发育,改善土壤入渗能力。这些发现强调了 AM 真菌在生态恢复工作中的重要意义。

期刊介绍: Catena publishes papers describing original field and laboratory investigations and reviews on geoecology and landscape evolution with emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects of soil science, hydrology and geomorphology. It aims to disseminate new knowledge and foster better understanding of the physical environment, of evolutionary sequences that have resulted in past and current landscapes, and of the natural processes that are likely to determine the fate of our terrestrial environment. Papers within any one of the above topics are welcome provided they are of sufficiently wide interest and relevance.
