英文摘要 | Background:Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are commonly found in arid ecosystems and are known to have increased carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) concentrations compared to non-crusted soil. Similar biocrusts were recently identified in Florida, USA sandy soil agroecosystems where they could impact soil biogeochemical cycling, particularly of C and N, in the crop rooting zone. Aims:Therefore, this research assessed the impacts of biocrusts on soil moisture, available and microbial C and N concentrations, and soil stable N isotopic ratios (delta N-15) in the upper rooting zone (0-15 cm) below biocrusts compared to nearby control bare soils without biocrusts. Methods:Intact soil cores (0-15 cm) were collected from crusted and non-crusted (control) locations in three sandy soil, citrus agroecosystems. Soil cores were partitioned into three depths: a surface (0-1 cm), a middle (1-5 cm), and a subsurface depth (5-15 cm), and were analyzed for soil moisture and multiple C and N cycling pools. Results:Biocrust presence and sampling depth (0-1 cm, 1-5 cm, and 5-15 cm) had significant impacts on soil physical, chemical, and biological parameters at the sites. All sites had increased bulk total C and total N, soluble (ammonium, nitrate, dissolved organic N, and salt extractable C), and microbial (microbial biomass C/N) C and N concentrations in the biocrust surface depth compared to the control without biocrusts. Nitrate and total inorganic N (ammonium + nitrate) were enriched below biocrusts (1-5 cm) with one site having 96% and 71% more nitrate and total inorganic N, respectively, under biocrusts compared to controls. This additional plant-available N was likely provided by the biocrust, as indicated by the delta N-15. Further, the soil below biocrusts (1-5 cm) at one agroecosystem had 44% more microbial biomass C and a significantly lower MBC:MBN than soil without biocrusts. Conclusions:Overall, results illustrate these naturally occurring biocrusts have the potential to benefit agroecosystems by enriching soil C and N in the crop rooting zone, indicating the potential for biocrusts to effect overall soil quality and health. |
