Abstract:

In order to clarify the dynamic change of root system, in Lycium barbarum L., a main commercial crop distributed in arid land of northwestern China, and soil environment under different planting-years, physiological characteristic of root system, soil enzyme activity, organic carbon, soil microbial quantity and diversity, physical and chemical properties of the rhizosphere soil were monitored for ‘Ningqi 1’ seedlings for five treatments, different continuous cropping years (1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years). With the increase of planting fixed number of years, the special hydraulic conductivity of roots (Ks, root) increased first and then decreased, the activity of roots remarkably decreased, the relative electric conductivity of roots gradually increased, the relative electric conductivity of root system began to decrease after planting seven years, but the reduction was not significant. The average moisture content of the soil 0-150 cm deep increased in the first five years, and declined after the planting five years, in particular, showed more effect to soil moisture above 60 cm deep. The average soil average porosity in 0-100 cm layer decreased with the increase of planting fixed number of years; the amount of soil rhizosphere microorganism increased, in this case, the number of soil bacteria and fungi increased, and the number of actinomyces did not have significant changes The soil rhizosphere microorganism average well color development (AWCD) decreased with the increase of planting fixed number of years, Shannon index (H) and Richness index (S) decreased firstly and then increased. The soil total organic carbon (TOC) activity decreased with the increase of planting fixed number of years, although light fraction organic carbon (LFOC) activity of planting five years and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) activity of planting seven years had slight rise, their general trend was consistent. The soil dehydrogenase activity was relatively stable, there was no significant change, the soil phosphatase activity increased, urease, catalase, polyphenol oxidase, and sucrase activity had similar changing trend, all of them decreasing first and then increasing. These results suggest that soil activity, fertility and microorganism diversity are decreased with the increase of planting fixed number of years, the toxic effect of soil microenvironment on the biological activity of root system in increased, meanwhile, the root system activity, hydraulic conductivity and water efficiency of soil are decreased by the changes of root system living environment.
