本土种引入对黄土高原露天煤矿排土场复垦土壤多功能性提升及机理

Introducing native species to enhance multifunctionality of reclaimed soil and its mechanism in dumps of open-pit coal mines on Loess Plateau

  • 摘要: 黄土高原露天煤矿排土场通常采用单一植被分区种植恢复模式,限制了植被多样性—微生物群落复杂性—土壤多功能性之间的关联与反馈,导致单一植被修复的长期效果普遍不佳。为此,引入榆树尝试改善山西平朔安太堡露天煤矿南排土场油松纯林复垦区生态恢复效果。研究采集油松(YS)、榆树+油松(MS)、对照榆树(CK)3种恢复模式下0~20 cm表层土样,测定土壤理化、微生物群落多样性等,探究本土种引入对复垦土壤微生物群落、土壤多功能性及其变化的作用机制。结果表明:本土种引入显著改善了露天矿区土壤微生物多样性(p < 0.01)和多功能性(p < 0.001),MS处理下的土壤α多样性和土壤多功能性多数优于其他处理。微生物网络复杂性和稳定性在引入本土榆树后呈现显著增长(p < 0.01),MS模式的总节点数、总连接数、连接密度、平均度和平均聚类系数等拓扑属性均为最高,脆弱性和平均路径长度均为最低。土壤细菌网络复杂性、微生物多元多样性及NH4+−N、AP等理化参数是影响土壤多功能性的关键因子(p < 0.05),其重要性分别为27.19%、18.72%、37.15%、22.94%。本土种引入既可直接正向作用于微生物多样性、网络复杂性和土壤多功能性,也通过调节土壤理化性质、胞外酶活性间接发挥作用。相比微生物多样性,网络复杂性对土壤多功能性的解释度更大。引入本土树种通过形成针阔混交的树种结构,丰富凋落物和根系分泌物种类,显著改善了黄土高原露天煤矿复垦土壤的环境因子、微生物群落和多功能性。研究揭示了植被多样性对复垦土壤微生物群落及多功能性的改良及机制,为深入理解生物多样性—土壤多功能性之间的互作关系、科学制定黄土高原露天煤矿区植被恢复方案提供参考依据。

     

    Abstract: The single vegetation zonal planting restoration model commonly used in open-pit coal mine dump sites on the Loess Plateau restricts the associations and feedbacks among vegetation diversity, microbial community complexity, and soil multifunctionality, leading to generally poor long-term effects of single-vegetation restoration. To address this, Ulmus species were introduced into the pure Pinus tabuliformis forest reclamation area of the South Dump Site in Antaibao Open-Pit Coal Mine, Shuozhou, Shanxi Province. Surface soil samples (0–20 cm) were collected under three restoration modes: pure P. tabuliformis (YS), Ulmus + P. tabuliformis mixed forest (MS), and pure Ulmus control (CK). Soil physical-chemical properties, microbial community diversity, and other indicators were measured to explore the mechanism of native species introduction on soil microbial communities, soil multifunctionality, and their variations. The results showed: Native species introduction significantly improved soil microbial diversity (p < 0.01) and multifunctionality (p < 0.001), with most indices of soil α-diversity and multifunctionality under the MS treatment outperforming other treatments. Microbial network complexity and stability increased significantly after introducing native Ulmus (p < 0.01). The MS mode exhibited the highest topological properties, including total node number, total link number, link density, average degree, and average clustering coefficient, while showing the lowest vulnerability and average path length. The complexity of soil bacterial networks, microbial multidiversity, and physicochemical parameters such as NH4+-N and AP are key factors influencing soil multifunctionality (p < 0.05), with their importance values being 27.19%, 18.72%, 37.15%, and 22.94%, respectively. Native species introduction exerted direct positive effects and indirectly influenced microbial diversity, network complexity, and soil multifunctionality by regulating soil physical-chemical properties and extracellular enzyme activities. Network complexity explains soil multifunctionality more strongly than microbial diversity. Introducing native tree species to form coniferous-broadleaved mixed forest structures enriched litter and root exudate types, significantly improving environmental factors, microbial communities, and multifunctionality of reclaimed soil in open-pit coal mines on the Loess Plateau. The mechanism of vegetation diversity in improving reclaimed soil microbial communities and multifunctionality was revealed, providing the reference for understanding the interactions between biodiversity and soil multifunctionality and scientifically formulating vegetation restoration strategies for open-pit coal mining areas on the Loess Plateau, China.
