<div><div>Andosols are commonly subdivided according to silandic and aluandic features. Silandic Andosols are characterised by organic matter (OM) strongly bound to short-range ordered aluminosilicates (SROAS), while aluandic Andosols mainly consist of aluminium-OM complexes (Al-OM complexes). Two theories exist concerning their pedogenesis. One theory argues, that silandic and aluandic properties are direct results of the weathering, assuming two separate lines of genesis. The other theory argues that silandic horizons transform into aluandic over time as parts of a continuous soil forming process. The latter could be caused by dissolved organic matter (DOM) entering the silandic subsoil with the percolating soil solution and promoting the dissolution of SROAS phases by complexing Al.

安土通常根据冰岛和冰岛的特征再细分。冰岛安土的特征是有机质(OM)与短程有序铝硅酸盐(SROAS)强结合,而冰岛安土主要由铝-OM配合物(Al-OM配合物)组成。关于它们的成土作用存在两种理论。一种理论认为,冰岛和冰岛的性质是风化的直接结果,假设有两条不同的成因线。另一种理论认为,随着时间的推移,作为连续土壤形成过程的一部分,冰岛地平线转变为冰岛地平线。后者可能是由于溶解性有机物(DOM)随土壤溶液进入冰岛底土,并通过Al络合促进SROAS相的溶解。增加DOM与Al的负载最终形成不溶性Al- om配合物。为了在对照实验中验证从冰岛性质到冰岛性质的原位过渡假设,我们对在均匀的土泥矿床中形成的厄瓜多尔Andosol土壤材料进行了为期20个月的渗透实验,该土壤材料在表层具有冰岛性质,在下层具有冰岛性质。6个色谱柱在硅土材料上填充矾土材料,使水饱和,并用凋落物dom溶液连续渗透(渗透速率为8 mm⋅h−1,实验开始时暂停9周)。此外,三列柱仅用冰岛材料填充,以获得进入冰岛材料的溶液的额外信息。其中,对饲料和洗脱液中的硅(Si)和铝(Al)、pH和溶解有机碳(DOC)进行了为期20个月的监测。利用HYDRUS-1D中实现的对流-弥散方程对渗透实验进行建模,以估算冰岛材料中DOC的保留量。在0、8和20个月后,通过分析柱状材料的OC浓度、草酸可萃取的Al、Si和铁(Fe)浓度以及x射线衍射,跟踪OC浓度和矿物相的变化。结果表明,渗滤对铝酸盐物质的影响很小,甚至没有影响。然而,对于冰岛洗脱液,摩尔Al:Si比远低于草酸可提取的冰岛材料本身的alx:Siox摩尔比。这暗示了脱硅作用,而Al和OC相对于Si被保留,因此支持SROAS溶解和Al- om配合物新形成的假设。硅质物质中14 mg·g−1的大量OC积累中,后者占70%,而Al-OM的垂直输送和吸附占次要作用。HYDRUS-1D模型支持了这一观点,表明DOM对冰岛物质的吸附仅在渗透的开始阶段起主导作用,而DOC汇项(可能代表Al-OM络合物的形成)在渗透的后期阶段起作用。总的来说,我们的研究结果首次提供了令人信服的实验证据,证明在潮湿条件下,从冰岛到aluandosols的成土转变促进了土壤的高渗透。

Earthworm guts are a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between bacteriophages and their hosts in amplifying ARG proliferation within this niche remains limited. To address this knowledge gap, we analyzed paired metagenomes from Metaphire californica guts and surrounding soil collected from farmland in Zhejiang, China. Earthworm guts harbored greater ARG diversity than soil (323 vs 303 subtypes), with significantly elevated abundances of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS), novobiocin, rifamycin, and tetracycline resistance determinants. Consistent with this, viral diversity was also higher in the earthworm gut comparing with soil. We recovered 67 microbial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and 5,703 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs), which enabled us to evaluate the contribution of viruses to ARG dissemination across different environments. Notably, virus-encoded ARGs were distributed across 43 Resfams families (RFs), with 32 detected in earthworm gut and only 23 in soil. Crucially, 1,568 potential HGT events between vOTUs and MAGs were identified, with a significantly higher frequency observed in the earthworm gut (1,110 events) compared to soil (458 events). Interestingly, the potential HGT regions against the Resfams database revealed that 32 gut-associated HGT events involved 11 RFs, whereas only 12 events associated with 5 RFs were detected in soil. These findings reveal the earthworm gut’s role in accelerating antibiotic resistance proliferation within agricultural ecosystems, highlighting the interconnected health risks emphasized by the One Health framework.
蚯蚓肠道是抗生素耐药基因(ARGs)的储存库。然而,噬菌体与其宿主之间的水平基因转移(HGT)在该生态位内扩增ARG增殖中的作用仍然有限。为了解决这一知识空白,我们分析了从中国浙江农田收集的加利福尼亚野鱼内脏和周围土壤的配对宏基因组。蚯蚓肠道的ARG多样性高于土壤(323个亚型对303个亚型),大环内酯- lincosamde -streptogramin (MLS)、新生物素、利福霉素和四环素耐药决定因子的丰度显著升高。与此一致的是,蚯蚓肠道中的病毒多样性也高于土壤。我们恢复了67个微生物宏基因组组装基因组(MAGs)和5703个病毒操作分类单位(vOTUs),这使我们能够评估病毒在不同环境中对ARG传播的贡献。值得注意的是,病毒编码的ARGs分布在43个refam家族(rf)中,其中32个在蚯蚓肠道中检测到,只有23个在土壤中检测到。关键是,在vOTUs和MAGs之间确定了1568个潜在的HGT事件,在蚯蚓肠道中观察到的频率(1110个事件)明显高于土壤(458个事件)。有趣的是,针对Resfams数据库的潜在HGT区域显示,32个与肠道相关的HGT事件涉及11个rf,而在土壤中仅检测到12个与5个rf相关的事件。这些发现揭示了蚯蚓肠道在加速农业生态系统内抗生素耐药性扩散方面的作用,突出了“同一个健康”框架所强调的相互关联的健康风险。

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) exhibit high water solubility and mobility, leading to low utilization efficiency and environmental contamination. Research into controlling the migration and leaching of multiple pesticides in complex soil environments remains relatively limited. This study employed Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to control the loss of 2,4-D and 4-CPA simultaneously. Here, adsorption kinetics experiments, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, column experiments and numerical models were conducted to investigate the adsorption mechanisms of the two herbicides onto LDHs, the co-/transport and co-/release behaviors of the herbicides in soil with the addition of LDHs. Outer-sphere complexation was the predominant adsorption mechanism for 4-CPA with LDHs, while outer-sphere and inner-sphere complexation occurred between 2,4-D and LDHs. DFT calculations indicated lower adsorption energy and greater adsorption strength between LDHs and 2,4-D compared to that between LDHs and 4-CPA. The retention of two herbicides in the soil increased by 8.99–22.46 % with 0.5 wt% LDHs and increased with the decrease of pH values and ionic strength (IS) of soil solution. The release amounts of 4-CPA and 2,4-D from LDHs in soil columns increased by 9.06 % and 12.05 % when the IS of K+ decreased from 100 to 0 mM, and increased by 11.12 % and 15.49 % in the presence of 25 mM carbonate. LDHs exerted a greater loss control effect on the simultaneous application of both herbicides. Either 2,4-D or 4-CPA would lead to the release of each other with the addition of LDHs. Pot experiment results further verified that the addition of LDHs in soil could reduce the loss of the herbicides by up to 77.29 %, which brought greater germination control of Abutilon theophrasti. This study provides novel mechanistic insights into the differential adsorption and transport of coexisting herbicides controlled by LDHS under complex environmental conditions, offering promising strategies for enhancing herbicide efficacy and mitigating environmental risks in sustainable agriculture.
2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸(2,4- d)和4-氯苯氧乙酸(4-CPA)具有较高的水溶性和迁移率,导致其利用效率低且污染环境。控制多种农药在复杂土壤环境中的迁移和淋失的研究相对有限。本研究采用镁铝层状双氢氧化物(LDHs)同时控制2,4- d和4-CPA的损失。本文通过吸附动力学实验、密度泛函理论(DFT)计算、柱状实验和数值模型等研究了两种除草剂在土壤中的吸附机理,以及添加LDHs后两种除草剂在土壤中的共迁移和共释放行为。4-CPA与LDHs的吸附机制以外球络合为主,2,4- d与LDHs的吸附机制以内球和外球络合为主。DFT计算表明,与LDHs与4-CPA相比,LDHs与2,4- d的吸附能更低,吸附强度更高。当LDHs为0.5 wt%时,两种除草剂在土壤中的保留率增加了8.99 ~ 22.46%,并随着土壤溶液pH值和离子强度的降低而增加。当K+浓度从100 mM降至0 mM时,土壤柱中4-CPA和2,4- d的释放量分别增加了9.06%和12.05%,在25 mM碳酸盐存在时,4-CPA和2,4- d的释放量分别增加了11.12%和15.49%。两种除草剂同时施用时,LDHs具有更大的防损效果。2,4- d或4-CPA在加入ldl后都会导致彼此释放。盆栽试验结果进一步证实,在土壤中添加LDHs可使除草剂的损失率降低77.29%,对苘麻草的萌发有较好的控制作用。该研究为复杂环境条件下LDHS控制共存除草剂的差异吸附和转运提供了新的机制见解,为可持续农业中提高除草剂药效和降低环境风险提供了有希望的策略。

<div><div>Climate warming and human activities have led to widespread expansion of shrubs in many wetlands, altering the distribution patterns of native vegetation and disrupting C cycling. Although the effects of shrub expansion on soil microbial communities and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emissions have been extensively studied, the specific microbial-mediated pathways involved in methane cycling remain unexplored. The static chamber method was used to investigate the characteristics of CH<sub>4</sub> emission flux changes under different levels of shrub expansion. Additionally, metagenomics technology was employed to assess the effects of different shrub expansion levels on soil microbial community composition, function, and diversity (bacteria and fungi), as well as the methane metabolic pathways mediated by these communities. Shrub expansion in wetlands was categorized into four classes based on shrub coverage. We found that methane flux decreased significantly with increasing shrub expansion, with cumulative emissions under extensive expansion conditions being only 28 % of those under no expansion conditions. The peak emissions on August 15 under no expansion conditions were 2–3 times higher than those in shrub-expanded plots. The partial least squares path model (PLS-PM, GOF = 0.731) indicated that shrub expansion enhanced soil physicochemical properties (β = 0.865), which inhibited methanogenic genes (β = −0.617) and activated methane oxidation pathways (total effect β = 0.728). Methane-oxidizing genes contributed the most to CH<sub>4</sub> reduction, accounting for 72.4 % of the pathway effect. This was primarily manifested as inhibition of key genes involved in the acetate pathway for methane production (comB and hdrA) and upregulation of methane-oxidizing-related genes (mmoB and DAK). Shrub expansion significantly increased soil ammonium nitrogen content while reducing soil moisture content. Although bacterial α diversity remained unchanged, the fungal Chao1 index significantly increased. Additionally, MI and HI treatments significantly altered bacterial community structure, while fungal communities remained relatively stable. The relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia initially increased with shrub expansion but decreased at higher levels, while Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mucoromycota showed significant increases. The study suggests that the reduction in CH<sub>4</sub> emissions caused by shrub expansion is primarily regulated by a synergistic pathway involving the combined effects of soil physicochemical properties and oxidative microbial genes. Furthermore, bacterial communities are more sensitive to shrub expansion than fungal communities. These results highlight the complex interactions between aboveground vegetation dynamics, soil microbial communities, greenhouse gas fluxes, and environmental factors. However, this CH<sub>4</sub> reduction likely reflects hydrological degradation and wetland desiccation, which may increase CO<su
气候变暖和人类活动导致许多湿地灌木大面积扩张,改变了原生植被的分布格局,破坏了碳循环。尽管灌木扩张对土壤微生物群落和甲烷(CH4)排放的影响已被广泛研究,但参与甲烷循环的特定微生物介导途径仍未被探索。采用静室法研究了不同灌木扩张水平下CH4排放通量的变化特征。此外,利用宏基因组学技术评估了不同灌木扩张水平对土壤微生物群落组成、功能和多样性(细菌和真菌)的影响,以及这些群落介导的甲烷代谢途径。根据灌木盖度将湿地灌木扩张分为4类。研究发现,随着灌木扩张的增加,甲烷通量显著降低,粗放扩张条件下的累积排放量仅为无扩张条件下的28%。8月15日无扩展条件下的峰值排放量是灌木扩展样地的2 ~ 3倍。偏最小二乘路径模型(PLS-PM, GOF = 0.731)表明,灌木扩张增强了土壤理化性质(β = 0.865),抑制了产甲烷基因(β = - 0.617),激活了甲烷氧化途径(总效应β = 0.728)。甲烷氧化基因对CH4还原的贡献最大,占途径效应的72.4%。这主要表现为参与甲烷生成醋酸途径的关键基因(comB和hdrA)的抑制和甲烷氧化相关基因(mmoB和DAK)的上调。灌木扩张显著提高了土壤铵态氮含量,降低了土壤水分含量。虽然细菌α多样性保持不变,但真菌Chao1指数显著升高。此外,MI和HI处理显著改变了细菌群落结构,而真菌群落保持相对稳定。Verrucomicrobia的相对丰度最初随着灌木的扩大而增加,但随着灌木的扩大而降低,而子囊菌门、担子菌门和毛霉门的相对丰度则显著增加。研究表明,灌木扩张对CH4排放的减少主要受土壤理化性质和氧化微生物基因共同作用的协同调控。此外,细菌群落比真菌群落对灌木扩张更敏感。这些结果强调了地上植被动态、土壤微生物群落、温室气体通量和环境因素之间复杂的相互作用。然而,这种CH4的减少可能反映了水文退化和湿地干燥,这可能会增加氧化泥炭的二氧化碳排放,损害长期的碳固存,强调了防止灌木入侵湿地保护的必要性。

This was primarily manifested as inhibition of key genes involved in the acetate pathway for methane production (comB and hdrA) and upregulation of methane-oxidizing-related genes (mmoB and DAK). Shrub expansion significantly increased soil ammonium nitrogen content while reducing soil moisture content. Although bacterial α diversity remained unchanged, the fungal Chao1 index significantly increased. Additionally, MI and HI treatments significantly altered bacterial community structure, while fungal communities remained relatively stable. The relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia initially increased with shrub expansion but decreased at higher levels, while Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mucoromycota showed significant increases. The study suggests that the reduction in CH&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt; emissions caused by shrub expansion is primarily regulated by a synergistic pathway involving the combined effects of soil physicochemical properties and oxidative microbial genes. Furthermore, bacterial communities are more sensitive to shrub expansion than fungal communities. These results highlight the complex interactions between aboveground vegetation dynamics, soil microbial communities, greenhouse gas fluxes, and environmental factors.

Soil plant-derived carbon (PDC) and microbial-derived carbon (MDC) represent the two primary sources of soil organic carbon (SOC). The relative proportions of these carbon (C) sources shape SOC composition, accumulation, stability, and turnover. Dryland ecosystems, while serving as critical C reservoirs, are particularly vulnerable to climate change. However, the influence of aridity on PDC and MDC sequestration remains understudied at the regional scale, which limits our ability to understand and predict soil C dynamics in drylands under the context of global warming. To address this knowledge gap, we measured PDC, MDC, and associated biotic and abiotic variables at 90 sampling sites along a ∼ 3000 km transect across the Mongolian Plateau. We examined the biogeographical distribution patterns of PDC and MDC along a natural aridity gradient. Our findings revealed that both PDC and MDC declined concurrently in response to increasing aridity. Based on the contributions of PDC and MDC to SOC, we identified the shifting point marking the transition in the dominance of different pathways of the microbial C pump. This shifting point was further validated using microbial C use efficiency (CUE) and soil extracellular enzyme activity. In subhumid-semiarid region (aridity = 0.37), the contribution of PDC to SOC exceeds that of MDC, coupled with higher extracellular enzyme activity, indicating the dominance of ex vivo modification. Here, PDC formation is primarily driven by the microbial fragmentation of abundant plant litter. High precipitation and nutrient availability in these areas further support the conversion of microbial biomass C into MDC. In contrast, in semiarid region (aridity = 0.78), the contribution of PDC to SOC is lower than that of MDC, coupled with higher microbial CUE, indicating the dominance of in vivo turnover. MDC accumulation is promoted by physical protection mechanisms, such as increased clay and silt content, while PDC formation is constrained by limited root C inputs. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms of SOC sequestration in drylands and emphasize the need to consider both PDC and MDC in strategies aimed at preserving the terrestrial C sink under current and future climate change.
土壤植物源碳(PDC)和微生物源碳(MDC)是土壤有机碳(SOC)的两大主要来源。这些碳(C)源的相对比例决定了有机碳的组成、积累、稳定和周转。旱地生态系统虽然是关键的碳库,但特别容易受到气候变化的影响。然而,在区域尺度上,干旱对PDC和MDC固存的影响尚未得到充分研究,这限制了我们理解和预测全球变暖背景下旱地土壤C动态的能力。为了解决这一知识差距,我们在蒙古高原沿3000公里横断面的90个采样点测量了PDC、MDC以及相关的生物和非生物变量。我们研究了PDC和MDC沿自然干旱梯度的生物地理分布格局。我们的研究结果表明,PDC和MDC同时下降,以应对干旱的增加。基于PDC和MDC对有机碳的贡献,我们确定了标志着微生物碳泵不同途径优势转变的转移点。利用微生物C利用效率(CUE)和土壤胞外酶活性进一步验证了这一转移点。在亚湿润半干旱区(干旱度= 0.37),PDC对SOC的贡献超过MDC,且胞外酶活性较高,表明体外修饰占主导地位。在这里,PDC的形成主要是由丰富的植物凋落物的微生物破碎化驱动的。这些地区的高降水量和养分有效性进一步支持微生物生物量C向MDC的转化。而在半干旱区(干旱度= 0.78),PDC对SOC的贡献低于MDC,且微生物CUE较高,表明体内转换占主导地位。MDC的积累受到物理保护机制的促进,例如粘土和粉砂含量的增加,而PDC的形成受到有限的根C输入的限制。我们的研究结果为旱地有机碳封存机制提供了新的见解,并强调在当前和未来气候变化下,在保护陆地碳汇的策略中需要考虑PDC和MDC。

This work aimed at better documenting the effects of fungal activity on dissolved organic matter (OM) in soils. Dynamics of water-extractable OM (as surrogate for dissolved OM) quantity and chemical quality was monitored during a ca. 6 month microcosm incubation of plant residues in the presence of fungi. Differential 13C-labelling of metabolites vs structural compounds of the incubated residues further allowed clarifying the balance between fungal mineralisation and production of soluble compounds (through biosynthesis and/or decomposition). The fungus Trichoderma harzianum was mainly active during the first weeks of incubation, substantially mineralizing WEOM, preferentially consuming carbohydrates. The fungus induced chemical modification of WEOM, notably selective preservation of lipids and oxidation of lignin moieties. While T. harzianum probably degraded some insoluble structural molecules and produced biomass, these contributions to bulk WEOM appeared minor (when compared with leaching and mineralization), either because non-significant or entering non-extractable carbon pool. Additionally, characterization of control fungus-free microcosms, highlighted the potential role of abiotic processes on WEOM production, including leaching and depolymerisation by extracellular enzymes, notably of carbohydrate rich (insoluble) macromolecules.
这项工作旨在更好地记录真菌活动对土壤中溶解有机质(OM)的影响。在真菌存在的植物残留物中进行了大约6个月的微观培养,监测了水萃取OM(作为溶解OM的替代品)数量和化学质量的动态。代谢物与培养残留物结构化合物的差异13c标记进一步澄清了真菌矿化和可溶性化合物生产(通过生物合成和/或分解)之间的平衡。哈兹木霉主要在培养的前几周活跃,大量矿化WEOM,优先消耗碳水化合物。真菌诱导了WEOM的化学修饰,特别是脂质的选择性保存和木质素部分的氧化。虽然T. harzianum可能降解了一些不溶性结构分子并产生了生物量,但这些对大量WEOM的贡献似乎很小(与浸出和矿化相比),要么是因为不显著,要么是因为进入了不可提取的碳库。此外,对照无真菌微生物的表征强调了非生物过程在WEOM生产中的潜在作用,包括细胞外酶的浸出和解聚合,特别是富含碳水化合物(不溶性)大分子。

Ground surface temperature (GST) serves as the upper thermal boundary condition governing the thermal regime of permafrost, yet its fine-scale spatial heterogeneity associated with complex surface characteristics remains a critical uncertainty, largely due to a scarcity of high-density in-situ observations. To bridge this gap, we established a multi-scale systematic monitoring network in June-July 2023 at a representative alpine meadow site in the Headwater Area of the Yellow River, northeastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The network comprises two regular grids with extents of 100 m × 100 m and 1000 m × 1000 m (121 nodes each), capturing hourly GST dynamics. By integrating thermal data with high-resolution (0.1 m) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-derived fractional vegetation cover (FVC), we identified a non-linear vegetation forcing mechanism. A cooling optimum was observed at medium FVC (0.5–0.75), yielding the lowest MAGST (−0.56 ± 0.06 °C and −0.71 ± 0.12 °C for the 100-m and 1000-m grids, respectively) by effectively offsetting summer radiative heating against winter insulation. Conversely, low FVC grid points showed amplified diurnal variability (up to 6.09 °C). Spatial analysis revealed scale-dependent thermal regimes: the fine-scale 100-m grid highlighted localized heat accumulation linked to micro-scale surface heterogeneity, while the 1000-m grid showed seasonal structural instability, where coherent spatial patterns disintegrated during winter. These findings provide critical, scale-dependent constraints for calibrating process-based permafrost models.
地表温度(GST)是控制多年冻土热状态的上热边界条件,但其与复杂地表特征相关的精细尺度空间异质性仍然是一个关键的不确定性,这主要是由于缺乏高密度的原位观测。为了弥补这一空白,我们于2023年6 - 7月在青藏高原东北部黄河源区具有代表性的高寒草甸样地建立了多尺度系统监测网络。该网络包括两个规则网格,范围为100米× 100米和1000米× 1000米(每个节点121个),捕捉每小时的GST动态。通过将热数据与高分辨率(0.1 m)无人机(UAV)衍生的植被覆盖度(FVC)相结合,我们确定了非线性植被强迫机制。在中等植被覆盖度(0.5-0.75)下,通过有效地抵消夏季辐射加热和冬季保温,可以产生最低的MAGST(100米和1000米网格分别为- 0.56±0.06°C和- 0.71±0.12°C)。相反,低植被覆盖度网格点显示出放大的日变化(高达6.09°C)。空间分析揭示了尺度相关的热状态:100米网格强调了与微尺度表面异质性相关的局部热积累,而1000米网格显示了季节性结构不稳定性,其中连贯的空间格局在冬季解体。这些发现为校准基于过程的永久冻土模型提供了关键的、依赖于尺度的约束。

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), in particular foundation models, have improved the state of the art in many application domains including geosciences. Some specific problems, however, could not benefit from this progress yet. Soil horizon classification, for instance, remains challenging because of its multimodal and multitask characteristics and a complex hierarchically structured label taxonomy. Accurate classification of soil horizons is crucial for monitoring soil condition, which directly impacts agricultural productivity, food security, ecosystem stability and climate resilience. In this work, we propose SoilNet - a multimodal multitask model to tackle this problem through a structured modularized pipeline. In contrast to omnipurpose AI foundation models, our approach is designed to be inherently transparent by following the task structure human experts developed for solving this challenging annotation task. The proposed approach integrates image data and geotemporal metadata to first predict depth markers, segmenting the soil profile into horizon candidates. Each segment is characterized by a set of horizon-specific morphological features. Finally, horizon labels are predicted based on the multimodal concatenated feature vector, leveraging a graph-based label representation to account for the complex hierarchical relationships among soil horizons. Our method is designed to address complex hierarchical classification, where the number of possible labels is very large, imbalanced and non-trivially structured. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-world soil profile dataset and a comprehensive user study with domain experts. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate that SoilNet reliably predicts soil horizons that are plausible and accurate. User study results indicate that SoilNet achieves predictive performance on par with or better than that of human experts in soil horizon classification.

人工智能(AI)的最新进展,特别是基础模型,提高了包括地球科学在内的许多应用领域的技术水平。然而,一些具体问题还不能从这一进展中受益。例如,土壤水平分类仍然具有挑战性,因为它具有多模式和多任务特征,并且具有复杂的分层结构标签分类法。土壤层位的准确分类对土壤状况监测至关重要,直接影响农业生产力、粮食安全、生态系统稳定性和气候适应能力。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个多模态多任务模型SoilNet,通过结构化的模块化管道来解决这个问题。与通用AI基础模型相比,我们的方法被设计为遵循人类专家为解决这一具有挑战性的注释任务而开发的任务结构,从而具有固有的透明度。该方法将图像数据和时间元数据相结合,首先预测深度标记,然后将土壤剖面分割为候选层位。每个片段都具有一组特定于水平的形态特征。最后,基于多模态连接特征向量预测水平标签,利用基于图的标签表示来解释土壤水平之间复杂的层次关系。我们的方法旨在解决复杂的分层分类,其中可能的标签数量非常大,不平衡和非平凡结构。我们在真实世界的土壤剖面数据集和领域专家的全面用户研究中证明了我们的方法的有效性。我们的经验评估表明,SoilNet可靠地预测土壤层位,是可信和准确的。用户研究结果表明,在土壤层位分类方面,SoilNet实现了与人类专家相当或更好的预测性能。所有代码和实验都可以在我们的存储库中找到:https://github.com/calgo-lab/BGR/。

Earthworms affect soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition and C stabilization into mineral associated organic matter (MAOM) following fresh organic matter input. However, it remains untested how these earthworm-induced C dynamics vary with the rate of fresh organic matter input and soil texture and how they are associated with soil microbial C use efficiency (CUE). Herein, we conducted a 48-day incubation to investigate the impact of earthworms on soil C dynamics following litter input, as well as the relationships of C dynamics with microbial CUE. The experimental set-up consisted of three factors including earthworms (with and without), 13C-labeled grass litter input rate (0, 1 and 6 g C kg−1 soil) and soil texture (grassland soils with either clay or sand addition). Earthworms increased SOC decomposition without litter input by 9 % − 13 %, while amplifying the priming effect (PE) in soil with clay and sand addition at the highest litter addition by 24 % − 139 %, but decreasing the PE in soil with sand and low litter addition by 32 %. In soil with sand addition, earthworms increased MAOM formation efficiency from litter (fraction of added litter C stabilized in MAOM) by 17 % − 23 %, and the litter C sequestration quotient (litter-derived C in MAOM divided by the sum of litter derived C in MAOM and respiration) by 10 % − 27 %. However, earthworm-induced changes in SOC decomposition, PE and MAOM formation were not associated with earthworm-induced changes in microbial CUE. In conclusion, earthworms can facilitate SOC accrual more in soils with sand addition through disproportional amplification of SOC stabilization compared with SOC loss through decomposition. The influence of earthworms on SOC accrual is more likely driven by physicochemical protection of SOC rather than by changes in microbial metabolism.
蚯蚓影响新鲜有机质输入后土壤有机碳(SOC)分解和碳稳定为矿物伴生有机质(MAOM)。然而,这些蚯蚓诱导的碳动态如何随新鲜有机质输入速率和土壤质地而变化,以及它们如何与土壤微生物碳利用效率(CUE)相关,仍未得到验证。本研究通过48天的培养,研究了蚯蚓对凋落物输入后土壤C动态的影响,以及C动态与微生物CUE的关系。实验设置包括三个因素,包括蚯蚓(有和没有),13c标记的草凋落物输入率(0,1和6 g C kg - 1土壤)和土壤质地(添加粘土或沙子的草地土壤)。蚯蚓使无凋落物输入的土壤有机碳分解提高了9% ~ 13%,而在凋落物添加量最大的土壤中,添加粘土和沙子的土壤的启动效应(PE)提高了24% ~ 139%,而在添加沙子和低凋落物的土壤中,PE降低了32%。在添加沙子的土壤中,蚯蚓使凋落物中MAOM的形成效率(添加的凋落物C稳定在MAOM中的比例)提高了17% ~ 23%,凋落物C的固存商(MAOM中凋落物衍生的C除以MAOM中凋落物衍生的C和呼吸的总和)提高了10% ~ 27%。然而,蚯蚓诱导的SOC分解、PE和MAOM形成的变化与蚯蚓诱导的微生物CUE变化无关。综上所述,蚯蚓通过对土壤有机碳稳定化的不成比例放大,促进了土壤有机碳的积累,而不是通过分解导致的有机碳损失。蚯蚓对有机碳积累的影响更可能是由有机碳的物理化学保护驱动的,而不是由微生物代谢的变化驱动的。

Earthworms increased SOC decomposition without litter input by 9 % − 13 %, while amplifying the priming effect (PE) in soil with clay and sand addition at the highest litter addition by 24 % − 139 %, but decreasing the PE in soil with sand and low litter addition by 32 %. In soil with sand addition, earthworms increased MAOM formation efficiency from litter (fraction of added litter C stabilized in MAOM) by 17 % − 23 %, and the litter C sequestration quotient (litter-derived C in MAOM divided by the sum of litter derived C in MAOM and respiration) by 10 % − 27 %.

In conclusion, earthworms can facilitate SOC accrual more in soils with sand addition through disproportional amplification of SOC stabilization compared with SOC loss through decomposition.

It is widely accepted that humic acid-enhanced phosphate fertilizers (HAEP) improve crop yield and phosphorus (P) use efficiency, largely because the carboxyl-rich structure of humic acid (HA) reduces P fixation and enhances soil P availability. However, this prevailing view overlooks the potential structural transformations of HA in soil and its localized regulation of P availability—restricted to the phosphate fertilizer fertosphere (PFF) rather than the bulk soil. In this study, we simulated the PFF to examine how HA influences the migration, transformation, and availability of P within the PFF. Using multispectral analysis, we characterized structural changes of HA and its corresponding ability to inhibit P immobilization within the PFF. We also identified the key microbial drivers, thereby clarifying the mechanisms through which HA regulates P availability in this microzone. Compared with that of the control, HA amendment resulted in greater migration of PFF-derived P over 90 days: cumulative migration increased by 10.7%, the migration distance extended by 0.40 mm, and the effective radius of the available P-enriched zones around the fertosphere expanded by 0.84 mm. The increased P availability might be attributed to two main mechanisms. First, the increase in HA-specific surface area and the accumulation of fungal necromass provided additional sites for ion adsorption, thereby inhibiting the transformation of P into insoluble forms. Second, HA slowed the luxury uptake of P by microorganisms, effectively reducing its biological fixation. Notably, the carboxyl functional groups of HA contributed minimally to this improvement. Instead, HA within the PFF underwent progressive depletion of carboxyl groups, mediated jointly by soil bacteria and fungi. HA enhances both the P supply area and the intensity of PFF primarily through microbial-driven structural modifications that maintain its ion-adsorption capacity. These findings offer new perspectives for re-evaluating the efficiency-enhancing mechanisms of HAEP.
腐植酸增强型磷肥(HAEP)之所以能提高作物产量和磷利用效率,很大程度上是因为腐植酸(HA)富含羧基的结构减少了磷的固定,提高了土壤磷的有效性。然而,这种流行的观点忽视了土壤中HA的潜在结构转变及其对磷有效性的局部调节-仅限于磷肥肥层(PFF)而不是整体土壤。在本研究中,我们模拟了PFF,以研究HA如何影响PFF内P的迁移、转换和可用性。通过多光谱分析,我们表征了HA的结构变化及其在PFF内抑制P固定的能力。我们还确定了关键的微生物驱动因素,从而阐明了HA调节该微区磷有效性的机制。与对照相比,HA修正导致pff衍生磷在90 d内的迁移量增加,累计迁移量增加10.7%,迁移距离延长0.40 mm,有效富磷区有效半径扩大0.84 mm。P可用性的增加可能归因于两个主要机制。首先,ha比表面积的增加和真菌坏死块的积累为离子吸附提供了额外的位点,从而抑制了P向不溶性形式的转化。其次,透明质酸减缓了微生物对磷的奢侈吸收,有效地降低了磷的生物固定。值得注意的是,HA的羧基官能团对这种改善贡献最小。相反,在土壤细菌和真菌的共同作用下,PFF内的HA经历了羧基的逐渐耗尽。HA主要通过微生物驱动的结构修饰来增强PFF的P供应面积和强度,从而保持其离子吸附能力。这些发现为重新评估HAEP的增效机制提供了新的视角。
