Effects of Bio-based Compound Amendments on Overall Soil Fertility of Coastal Saline Soils
[Objective] The effects of bio-based composite amendments on the physicochemical properties and microbiota of saline soils in the Yellow River delta and the Northern Jiangsu mudflats were determined in order to provide a scientific reference for the improvement and utilization of saline soils in the region and for the ecological agro-pastoralism.[Methods] A pot experiment with alfalfa was conducted to study the influence of the application of compound biomaterials on the physico-chemical properties and microbial flora of coastal saline soils from the Yellow River delta (S) and the northern Jiangsu mudflats(J). The compound biomaterials consisted of vermicompost
active enzyme conditioners
and endophytic mycorrhizal inoculants. The experiment consisted of four treatments:the Yellow River delta soil with (SE) and without (SC) compound amendments
and the Northern Jiangsu tidal flat soil with (JE) and without (JC) compound amendments.[Results] Soil organic matter during the alfalfa branching stage increased by 45.30% and 32.45% in the SE and JE treatments
respectively
compared with the control treatment
and available potassium increased by 41.00% and 39.92%
respectively. Total dissolved salt in the soil during the alfalfa budding stage decreased by 14.10% and 27.85% in the SE and JE treatments
respectively
compared with the control treatment
and soil organic matter increased by 51.99% and 73.59%
respectively. Additionally
the diversity index of the soil microbial community during the budding stage was significantly increased compared with the control treatment
The dominant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria
Bacteroidetes
Acidobacteria
Planctomycetes
and Actinobacteria. The total dissolved salt and available potassium in the soil were the main driving factors changing soil microbial community structure.[Conclusion] The bio-based compound amendments could effectively reduce the total dissolved salt in soil
increase soil available nutrients
and increase soil microbial flora
and thereby significantly improve overall soil fertility.
