Effects of Tillage and Straw Returning on Glomalin and Soil Ecological Stoichiometric Characteristics
The effects of tillage and straw returning on glomalin-related soil protein(GRSP),ecological stoichiometric characteristics and their relationships were explored using farm soil for long-term crop produc-tion.The soil samples of 0~20-cm layer under three treatments of no tillage,only tillage and tillage with straw returning were collected and analyzed.The results showed that total glomalin(TG)content in no-tillage soil was 4.1 mg/g,which was 5.1%higher than that in tillage soil at significant level.The TG content in tillage with straw returning soil was increased by 3.6%compared to that in tillage soil.The easily extracted glomalin(EEG)in no-tillage and tillage with straw returning soils were increased by 4.8%and 6.1%compared with that in tillage soil.The soil organic carbon content of no-tillage and tillage with straw returning treatments were 17.58 mg/g and 17.89 mg/g respectively,which were 14.1%and 16.1%higher than that of tillage treatment and reached significant level.The total N content in no-tillage soil was 1.49 mg/g,which was significantly higher than that in tillage soil and tillage with straw returning soil with the increase amplitudes as 26.3%and 17.3%respectively.The soil C/N value in tillage with straw returning soil was 14.47,which was 33.2%signif-icantly higher than that in no-tillage soil.The soil organic carbon and total nitrogen contents affected the secre-tion and release of GRSP.No-tillage and tillage with straw returning were benefit to increasing soil organic car-bon and total nitrogen contents,so as to promote the secretion of GRSP.But long-term tillage could limit the secretion of soil GRSP by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
