Effects of Water and Salt Gradients on Soil Nutrient Indices and Enzyme Activities in Coastal Wetlands
[Objective] To analyze the influence mechanism of water and salt contents on soil nutrient and enzymatic activity
in order to provide scientific basis for exploring the effect of seawater intrusion on coastal wetland soil. [Methods] The surface soil of the coastal wetland in Jiaozhou Bay was collected and the simulation experiments were conducted in laboratory to determine the soil nutrient index and enzymatic activity under different water salt gradients. [Results] Soil pH value and bulk density (BD) were significantly affected by salinity and moisture
respectively. With the increase of soil water gradient
the total organic matter (TOM)
ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N)
available phosphorus (AP)
available potassium (AK)
sucrase activity (SA)
urease activity (UA) and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) increased initially and then decreased
reaching the maximum value at 30% water gradient. TOM
AP
AK
SA
UA and APA decreased with the increase of soil salinity gradient
while NH4+-N showed an opposite variation trend. The correlation analysis showed that SA was positively correlated with TOM
AP and AK
and APA was positively correlated with TOM
AP
AK and BD. In addition
UA was positively correlated with soil pH value and BD
and had a certain correlation with NH4+-N. [Conclusion] In a certain range
excessive or low water content and increased salt content can inhibit the soil nutrient contents and enzymatic activities
and there is a close relationship between soil nutrients and enzyme activities.
