چکیده

سابقه و هدف: گزارش‌های متناقضی در مورد تغییر خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی و پاسخ‌های بیولوژیکی خاک‌های اصلاح شده با بایوفیلم وجود دارد. اگرچه گزارشی از مقایسه اثرات صمغ عربی در بافت‌های مختلف خاک وجود ندارد، گزارشات اثرات بیوپلیمرهای متفاوت به عنوان آنالوگ بالقوه‌ای از بایوفیلم در خاک‌های مختلف به صورت متناقض وجود دارد. با فرض اینکه کلاس بافت خاک، به عنوان ویژگی ذاتی آن‌ها، ممکن است اثرات اصلاح کننده‌ها یا تهویه کننده‌های مختلف را تحت تاثیر قرار دهد. بنابراین جهت ارزیابی عملکرد صمغ عربی در دو کلاس بافت خاک متفاوت، تحقیق حاضر با هدف بررسی اثرات صمغ عربی به عنوان مشابهی از بایوفیلم (پلی‌ساکاریدهای برون‌سلولی) بر چندین ویژگی خاک در خاک‌هایی با بافت لوم و لوم رسی انجام گرفت.
مواد و روش‌ها: برای انجام این تحقیق با دو خاک مختلف شامل کلاس‌های بافت لوم‌رسی و لوم، یک آزمایش فاکتوریل در قالب طرح کاملاً تصادفی (CRD) با دو فاکتور شامل نوع خاک و مقادیر مختلف صمغ عربی(صفر، 5 و 10 گرم درکیلوگرم خاک) و سه تکرار و دو مشاهده انجام گردید، سپس، بعد از اتمام مرحله انکوباسیون خاک‌های تیمار شده، نمونه‌های خاک دست‌خورده و دست‌نخورده از گلدان‌ها تهیه و برای اندازه‌گیری جرم مخصوص ظاهری، رطوبت اشباع خاک و هدایت هیدرولیکی اشباع خاک، پایداری خاکدانه‌ها در حالت خیس(WAS)، میانگین وزنی قطر خاکدانه‌ها (MWD)، بعد فرکتال جرمی خاکدانه‌ها، اسیدیته خاک (pH)، مقدار کربن آلی خاک، ظرفیت تبادل کاتیونی و تنفس میکروبی خاک اندازه‌گیری شد.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که اثر صمغ عربی بر رطوبت اشباع، جرم مخصوص خاک، هدایت هیدرولیکی اشباع و فعالیت میکروبی در خاک لوم نسبت به خاک لوم‌رسی کمتر بود. کاربرد صمغ عربی در خاک لوم رسی موجب افزایش تقریباً 12 و 18 و 317 درصد به ترتیب در مقدار رطوبت اشباع حجمی و جرمی و هدایت هیدرولیکی اشباع خاک لوم رسی شد. درحالی که اثرات خیلی ناچیزی بر این خصوصیات در خاک لوم داشت. استفاده از صمغ عربی همچنین، جرم مخصوص خاک لوم‌رسی را کاهش داد درحالی که هیچ تغییری در جرم مخصوص خاک لوم مشاهده نشد. همچنین در خاک‌های تیمار شده، صمغ عربی تغییرات مثبتی را در کربن آلی خاک و پایداری، اندازه و بعدفراکتال جرمی خاکدانه‌ها که مستقل از نوع خاک می‌باشند را نشان داد.
نتیجه‌گیری: با توجه به اینکه تغییرات کمتری در خصوصیات بافت لوم (درشتر از خاک لوم رسی می‌باشد) مشاهده شد، پیشنهاد ما کاربرد مقدار بالاتری از صمغ عربی (بیشتر از 10 گرم بر کیلوگرم) در خاک‌ درشت بافت یا استفاده آن به همراه بقایای مواد آلی برای دستیابی به اثرات قابل توجه در این خاک‌ها می‌باشد.

چکیده [English]

Background and objectives: There are controversial reports about the physical, chemical and biological properties of biofilms modified soils. Although there is no report on comparing the effects of Arabic gum on different soil textures, reports of different biopolymer effects as potential analogues of biofilms in different soils are contradictory. We assume that the soil texture class, as its intrinsic property, may affect the effects of various soil amendment. Therefore, in order to evaluate the performance of Arabic gum in two different soil texture classes, the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of Arabic gum as a similar to biofilm (extracellular polysaccharides) on several soil characteristics in loam and clay loam soils.
Materials and Methods: For this study, two different soil types including clay loam and loam texture classes, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design (CRD) were carried out with two factors including soil type and different amounts of Arabic gum (0, 5 and 10 g per kg of soil) and three replications and two observations. Then, after the incubation stage of the treated soils, the disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were collected from the pots and prepared for measuring the bulk density, soil moisture content, hydraulic conductivity, saturated water content, soil aggregate stability (WAS), mean weight of aggregate diameter (MWD), mass fractal of aggregates, soil acidity (pH), organic carbon content, cation exchange capacity, and microbial respiration.
Results: The results showed that the effect of Arabic gum on saturated moisture content, soil bulk density, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and microbial activity in loam soil was lower than that of clay loam. The use of Arabic gum in clay loam soil increased by approximately 12, 18 and 317 percent, respectively, in the saturated volumetric and gravimetric water contents and the saturated hydraulic conductivity. While having very little effect on these properties in the loam soils. The use of Arabic gum also reduced the bulk density of clay loam soil, while no changes were found in the loam soils. Also, in treated soils, Arabic gum showed positive changes in soil organic carbon and the stability, size, and mass fraction dimension of aggregates, being independent from soil type.
Conclusion: Considering that less variation was observed in the properties of loam texture (which is courser than clay loam soils), we recommend the use of a higher amount of Arabic gum (greater than 10 g kg-1) in coarse texture soils or its use with residues of organic matter to have significant effects on these soils.
