Human activities have altered weather patterns by causing an increase in greenhouse gas. The effects of climate change have been studied, including effects on some ecosystems throughout the world. There are many studies on changes in the soil due to climate change, but much of them did not extend their research to soil enzyme that integrates information on soil microbial status and soil physical-chemical conditions. Meanwhile, there are lots of experimental fields established to study effects of long-term fertilization on soil enzyme activities, but many did not compare the difference of soil enzyme activities and did not analyze the effect of climatic factors on soil enzyme activities with long-term fertilization under different hydrothermal conditions. In this study, we compared soil enzyme activities of three long-fertilization stations which had different hydrothermal conditions in Northeast China, and analyzed the relationship of hydrothermal condition, soil chemical properties with soil enzyme activities. Hydrothermal conditions (annual temperature and total rainfall) decreased in order of Gongzhuling (Jilin Province, China ) > Harbin (Heilongjiang Province, China) > Heihe (Heilongjiang Province, China) over the course of the long-term fertilization experiment. Sunshine hours showed the longest in Gongzhuling, the second in Heihe, and the last in Harbin. However, the order of soil enzymes was not in agreement with hydrothermal conditions. Overall, the order of soil enzymes for the same treatment among three stations was consistent in 2008 with in 2009. Correlation analysis demonstrated that different soil enzymes achieved the different affected levels by climatic factors under different fertilization treatments. Urease activity showed a significant relationship with sunshine hours in no fertilizer (CK) treatment (R=-0.91, P<0.01) and relative humidity in mineral fertilizers plus manure (MNPK) treatment (R=0.82, P<0.05). Phosphatase activity exhibited a negative correlation with annual mean temperature, annu
Labile organic carbon(LOC)is a fraction of soil organic carbon(SOC)with rapid turnover time and is affected by soil fertilization.This investigation characterized the SOC content,LOC content and LOC distribution in the treatment plots of surface soil erosion at five levels(0-,5-,10-,20-and 30-cm erosion).The soil had received contrasting fertilizer treatments(i.e.,chemical fertilizer or chemical fertilizer+manure)for 6 years.This study demonstrated that both SOC and various LOC fractions contents were higher in the plots with fertilizer+manure than in those with fertilizer alone under the same erosion conditions.The SOC and LOC contents decreased as the erosion depth increased.Light fraction organic carbon,particulate organic carbon,easily oxidizable organic carbon(KMnO4-oxydizable organic carbon),and microbial biomass carbon were 27%–57%,37%–47%,20%–25%,and 29%–33%higher respectively in the fertilizer+manure plots,than in the fertilizer alone plots.Positive correlations(p<0.05)between SOC content and different fractions contents were observed in all plots except the correlation between total SOC content and water-soluble organic carbon content in the different fertilization treatments.Obviously,fertilizer+manure treatments would be conducive to the accumulation of LOC and SOC in the Black soil of Northeast China.
