Although nitrogen is the nutrient most required by maize, doses of N lower than those recommended are applied to maize grown in semiarid environments, which limits the achievement of profitable yields. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in soil fertility, nutritional status and dry matter production of maize plants fertilized with organic and mineral fertilizers in a semiarid region. A factorial experiment was carried out in Sobral, Cear (cid:1) a state, Brazil, in a randomized block design. The factors were two N sources (organic compost and urea), and four N rates: 27.5, 55, 110 and 165kg ha (cid:1) 1 , with three replications. We assessed variables associated with soil fertility, plant nutritional status, chlorophyll content, grain yield and total dry matter production. The highest rates of organic compost resulted in the highest levels of P (17.7mg dm (cid:1) 3 ) and K (102.2mg dm (cid:1) 3 ) in soil when compared to the control (7.7 and 69.0mg dm (cid:1) 3 , respectively). However, organic compost rates below 110kg ha (cid:1) 1 of N-equivalent fertilizer were not enough to supply the plants ’ demand for P and K. Low N rates promoted a decrease in soil inorganic N in the second year of application. Applying urea to maize plants led to greater dry matter production than organic compost in the second consecutive crop season. The use of organic compost at rates lower than 110kg ha (cid:1) 1 of N-equivalent fertilizer decreases soil fertility and has no impact on maize dry matter production.
虽然氮是玉米最需要的养分,但在半干旱环境中种植的玉米施用的氮剂量低于推荐剂量,这限制了实现有利可图的产量。本研究的目的是评价在半干旱区施用有机肥和矿物肥对玉米植株土壤肥力、营养状况和干物质产量的影响。本研究采用随机区组设计,在巴西西尔州索布拉尔市(cid:1)进行了因子试验。两种氮源(有机堆肥和尿素)和27.5、55、110和165kg ha (cid:1) 1 4种施氮量,3个重复。我们评估了与土壤肥力、植物营养状况、叶绿素含量、粮食产量和总干物质产量相关的变量。施用有机堆肥后,土壤磷含量(17.7mg dm (cid:1) 3)和钾含量(102.2mg dm (cid:1) 3)分别高于对照(7.7和69.0mg dm (cid:1) 3)。然而,氮肥用量低于110kg ha (cid:1) 1的有机堆肥量不足以满足植株对磷和钾的需求,低施氮量导致施用第二年土壤无机氮减少。连续第二个作物季,在玉米植株上施用尿素比施用有机堆肥产生更多的干物质。氮肥用量低于110kg / h (cid:1)时,土壤肥力降低,对玉米干物质产量无影响。

Abstract In arid and semi-arid areas, plant growth and survival are directly related to the soil water content. The soil water content is an important parameter for monitoring land degradation. A better understanding of how forests use soil water is crucial for the quantification how the terrestrial hydrologic cycle adapts to forestry practices and regional climate anomalies in these areas. This study investigated the variation of the water balance under different precipitation patterns (including soil water redistribution patterns under water stress and extreme rainstorms) under three common tree species in a mountainous area of Beijing were investigated. The results showed that soil water storage in the 80–150 cm layer played an important role for the ability of Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco and Quercus variabilis Blume to survive drought during a dry season. Compared to P. orientalis and Q. variabilis, the duration of water stress was shortest for Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. (15 months). P. tabulaeformis had a higher ability to utilize top soil water but showed a less balanced use of soil water in each soil layer. It also had the strongest ability to replenish groundwater through deep seepage. P. tabulaeformis may resist drought by transferring water to deeper soil horizons, where it is less susceptible to evaporation and where moisture can be temporarily stored. P. orientalis and Q. variabilis are more dependent on soil water storage in response to water stress conditions.

Abstract Organic and inorganic amendments are routinely applied to ameliorate soil conditions in semi-arid regions. This study aimed to examine the unsaturated transport of nalidixic acid-resistance Escherichia coli (E. coli NAR) in soil amended by cow manure (CM) and natural zeolite (NZ). Two levels of NZ (5 and 15% w/w) were added to a loam soil containing 5% w/w CM and incubated for 60 days. Then, the soil mixtures were poured into cylinders (3.6 × 15 cm) and a pulse (0.1 pore volume) of bacteria suspension (106 Cell mL−1) was added on top of the soil columns and leaching experiments were conducted at a steady-state, unsaturated flow condition and filtration coefficient (λf ), relative adsorption index (SR ), maximum depth of bacteria transport (Zmax ), average (Cav ) and cumulative cell density (Ccum ) were calculated. CM and NZ application significantly increased the peak density, Z max , C av , and C cum of E. coli NAR. The Cav , and Ccum of E. coli NAR in both 5 and 15% NZ containing mixtures were about 1 and 2-fold higher compared to the control. CM and NZ addition to soil decreased the filtration coefficient (λf ) and relative adsorption index (SR ) compared to the control. According to our results, we should conclude that the presence of NZ and CM, separately or together, can significantly increase the risk of groundwater contamination and it should be used with prudence.
