Pathways of Soil Ecological Restoration in Urban Green Spaces Based on Earthworm Introduction:A Case Study of Guangzhou
Rapid urbanization has led to systematic degradation of urban green space soil, such as soil compaction, soil organic matter deficiency, soil acid-base imbalance, and soil biodiversity decline, which severely constrain the ecological service functions of these soils. Traditional restoration measures of urban green space soil are characterized by high costs and poor sustainability, necessitating the exploration of ecological remediation pathways based on nature. This study took Guangzhou as an example, conducted a comparative analysis of on-site investigation data and the local standard “DB4401/T 36—2019 for Garden Planting Soil”. The results showed that the soil quality of green spaces in Guangzhou generally failed to meet the standards. The average pH of the soil was pH 6.99, with a range of pH 3.16 to pH 10.29. 24.7% of the soil had a pH value above 7.5, and 2.63% of the soil had a pH value below 5.5. The average soil bulk density was 1.41 g/cm3, and the proportion of sample points with bulk density greater than 1.25 was 51.3%. The average soil organic matter content was only 15.1 g/kg, and the proportion of soil sample points below the standard limit was 63.1%. The proportion of soil sample points with soil hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium content below the standard limit was 33.9%, 12.8% and 9.13% respectively. Soil compaction and acid-base imbalance were common problems. The multiple functions of earthworms as “soil ecosystem engineers” in improving soil physical structure, regulating nutrient cycling, constructing biological networks and purifying pollutants were summarized and sorted out, and the feasibility of their application was comprehensively evaluated from multiple dimensions such as resource conditions, economic costs, policy environment, market demand and ecological risks. It was considered that introduction of earthworm was an efficient and low-cost nature-based solutions (NbS) approach, which was suitable for soil ecological restoration of urban green space. This paper proposed an implementation pathway for ecological restoration of green space soils based on earthworm resource surveys, breeding of native species, scientific introduction, and supporting monitoring, evaluation, and adaptive management, aiming to provide a reference for enhancing the service capacity of urban ecosystems.

Riparian zones are an important transition between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and they function in nutrient cycling and removal. Non-native earthworms invading earthworm-free areas of North America can affect nutrient cycling in upland soils and have the potential to affect it in riparian soils. We examined how the presence of earthworms can affect riparian nutrient cycling and nutrient delivery to streams. Two mesocosm experiments were conducted to determine how (1) the biomass of earthworms and (2) earthworm species can affect nutrient flux from riparian zones to nearby streams and how this flux can affect streamwater nutrients and periphyton growth. In separate experiments, riparian soil cores were amended with one of four mixed earthworm biomasses (0, 4, 10, or 23 g m(-2) ash-free dry mass) or with one of three earthworm species (Aporrectodea caliginosa, Lumbricus terrestris, L. rubellus) or no earthworm species. Riparian soil cores were coupled to artificial streams, and over a 36-day period, we measured nutrient leaching rates, in-stream nutrient concentrations, and periphyton growth. Ammonium leaching increased with increasing biomass and was greatest from the A. caliginosa treatments. Nitrate leaching increased through time and increased at a greater rate with higher biomass and from cores containing A. caliginosa. We suggest that the overall response of increased nitrate leaching [90% of total nitrogen (N)] was due to a combination of ammonium excretion and burrowing by earthworms, which increased nitrification rates. During both experiments, periphyton biomass increased through time but did not differ across treatments despite high in-stream inorganic N. Through time, in-stream phosphorus (P) concentration declined to <5 microg l(-1), and periphyton growth was likely P-limited. We conclude that activities of non-native earthworms (particularly A. caliginosa) can alter biogeochemical cycling in riparian zones, potentially reducing the N-buffering capacity of riparian zones and altering stoichiometric relationships in adjacent aquatic ecosystems.

Soil calcium is a vital component in plant growth and soil health. Earthworm activities impact metal distribution and speciation a lot by changing soil pH. Nevertheless, little is known about how ecological earthworm species, particularly in Terra Rossa soil, affect soil Ca speciation distribution. This research examined the effects of the activities of four different earthworm species (epigeic species Eisenia fetida (noted as EF), endogeic species Amynthas robustus (noted as AR) and Pontoscolex corethrurus (noted as PC), anecic species Amynthas aspergillum (noted as AA)) on Ca speciations (water-soluble (CaWs), exchangeable (CaEx), acid-soluble bound (CaAc), organic-bound (CaOr), and residual (CaRe)), soil pH, the release contents of exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K, and Na), total calcium (CaTotal) contents, total nitrogen (TN) contents, soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations, cation-exchange capacity (CEC), and NIRS spectral characteristics in Terra Rossa soil for 40 days under lab conditions. In contrast to control soil, 108.3%, 158.3%, 91.7%, and 125.0% of CaWs contents in casts and 116.6%, 108.3%, 58.3% and 91.6% of CaWs in uningested soil increased significantly with the inoculation of EF, PC, AR, and AA, respectively. In addition, compared with control, for casts, the contents of exchangeable Ca, Mg, K, CEC, and available-K were significantly increased in the presence of EF, PC, AR, and AA, respectively. In the casts of EF, PC, AR, and AA, soil pH values declined by 0.72, 0.80, 0.45, and 0.60 units relative to control soil, while they decreased by 0.65, 0.84, 0.34, and 0.59 units in uningested soil. The soil inoculated with PC had higher soil pH values and CaWs contents than those with the other three earthworm species. Principal component analysis revealed significant differences in soil pH, Ca speciation, NIR spectra, and exchangeable base cation release between casts and uningested soil in treatments with EF, PC, AR, and AA inoculation. These findings expand, for the first time, to the ecological functions of earthworm species, especially for PC, demonstrating a capacity to alter soil Ca speciation, decrease soil pH, affect the exchangeable base cations’ release, and participate in and regulate the geochemical circulation processes in limestone regions.

Although bacteria are ubiquitous in the near-surface atmosphere and they can have important effects on human health, airborne bacteria have received relatively little attention and their spatial dynamics remain poorly understood. Owing to differences in meteorological conditions and the potential sources of airborne bacteria, we would expect the atmosphere over different land-use types to harbor distinct bacterial communities. To test this hypothesis, we sampled the near-surface atmosphere above three distinct land-use types (agricultural fields, suburban areas and forests) across northern Colorado, USA, sampling five sites per land-use type. Microbial abundances were stable across land-use types, with ∼105–106 bacterial cells per m3 of air, but the concentrations of biological ice nuclei, determined using a droplet freezing assay, were on average two and eight times higher in samples from agricultural areas than in the other two land-use types. Likewise, the composition of the airborne bacterial communities, assessed via bar-coded pyrosequencing, was significantly related to land-use type and these differences were likely driven by shifts in the sources of bacteria to the atmosphere across the land-uses, not local meteorological conditions. A meta-analysis of previously published data shows that atmospheric bacterial communities differ from those in potential source environments (leaf surfaces and soils), and we demonstrate that we may be able to use this information to determine the relative inputs of bacteria from these source environments to the atmosphere. This work furthers our understanding of bacterial diversity in the atmosphere, the terrestrial controls on this diversity and potential approaches for source tracking of airborne bacteria.

蚯蚓能够对许多决定土壤肥力的过程产生重要影响, 被称为“生态系统工程师”。它通过取食、消化、排泄和掘穴等活动在其体内外形成众多的反应圈, 从而对生态系统的生物、化学和物理过程产生影响。蚯蚓在生态系统中既是消费者、分解者, 又是调节者, 它在生态系统中的功能具体表现在: (1) 对土壤中有机质分解和养分循环等关键过程的影响; (2) 对土壤理化性质的影响; (3) 与植物、微生物及其他动物的相互作用。蚯蚓活动及其在生态系统中的功能受蚯蚓生态类群、种群大小、植被、母岩、气候、时间尺度以及土地利用历史的综合控制。蚯蚓外来种入侵与生态系统的关系以及蚯蚓对全球变化的响应和影响是两个值得关注的问题。土壤本身的复杂性, 蚯蚓自然历史和生物地理学知识的缺乏, 野外控制蚯蚓群落方法的滞后等都限制了蚯蚓生态学的发展。其他新技术如研究养分循环的碳氮同位素分析和揭示土壤微结构的图像分析等技术的应用是蚯蚓生态功能研究的迫切需要。
