摘要：

To investigate the effect of reclamation on soil quality in the Huixian Karst Wetland, samples from different soil levels were collected from marsh wetland, reclaimed paddy field, and reclaimed dry farmland, for analyzing soil nutrient (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) contents, microbial biomass carbon/nitrogen (MBC/MBN), and microbial activity indicators [i.e. basal respiration (BR), potential respiration (PR), microbial quotient (qMB), and metabolic quotient (qCO2)]. The correlations between the soil nutrient contents and soil microbial activity indictors were examined. The results showed that: ①Artificial reclamation led to the trend of slight acidity in the soil and a marked loss in soil nutrients, while, the pH value, soil water content (SWC), and the contents of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), available nitrogen (AN), total phosphorus (TP), available phosphorus (AP), total potassium (TK), and available potassium (AK) decreased with reclamation. ②Among all the microbes, bacteria were the most numerous, followed by actinomycetes, and fungi were the least numerous. The microbial quantity decreased with the increase in the soil depth on the whole. The proportion of bacteria and actinomycetes were much higher in the paddy field, and that of fungi was the highest in the dry farmland. ③ In total, protease, sucrase, urease, catalase, and polyphenol oxidase activities decreased with the increasing of soil depths. Soil reclamation reduced the soil enzyme activities. ④qCO2 decreased after an initial increase in the marsh wetland, while it rose gradually in the reclaimed paddy field and reclaimed dry farmland. The contents of MBC, MBN, BR, PR, and qMB were the highest in the marsh wetland, followed by those in the reclaimed paddy field, with the lowest contents occurring in the reclaimed dry farmland. The trend of qCO2 contents in the 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm soil layers followed the order of marsh wetland>paddy field>dry farmland, but in the 20-30 cm and 30-40 cm soil layers, it showed the order dry farmland>paddy field>marsh wetland. The continuation of reclamation resulted in the decrease in soil microbial activity, and soil quality as well, especially in the dry farmland. Meanwhile, we should reduce the areas of paddy fields and dry farmlands under reclamation during the process of wetland ecological restoration in future. Conversion of farmlands to wetlands or lakes, to improve and increase the size of wetland ecosystems of nearby lands, should be done gradually. © 2018, Science Press. All right reserved.
