摘要

撒哈拉以南非洲地区(SSA)需要提高粮食、饲料和纤维产量,以满足不断增长的人口需求,而土壤肥力却在持续下降。间作是指在同一块田地上种植两种或两种以上的作物,可以提高产量,并对土壤有机碳(C)和氮(N)储量产生积极影响。本研究使用生物地球化学模型系统 LandscapeDNDC,目的是:(a) 通过同时模拟两种作物及其相互作用,表现撒南非洲不同生物区域的玉米-豆类间作系统;(b) 评估在不同矿物肥料投入(0-150 千克氮公顷-1 年-1)条件下间作对生产力以及土壤有机碳和氮储量的长期(20 年)影响。我们在 18 个地点的 82 个田间数据集(地点-年份-处理组合)上对 LandscapeDNDC 进行了测试,以反映玉米-豆类间作系统的产量和土壤碳/氮动态。利用该模型进行的长期情景模拟显示,在低肥或零肥系统中,如果所有残留物都回归土壤,间作可以维持生产率,提高或保持 SOC 储量。相反,对于单作玉米系统,除非在全部残留物还田时施用至少 35 千克氮(公顷-1 年-1)的肥料,否则 SOC 储量会下降。我们的结论是,使用豆科植物进行间作套种,同时施用足够的残留物还田,即使施用较少的氮肥,也能稳定长期产量,同时避免 SOC 损失。总之,我们的研究证实了间作套种作为一种可持续农业实践的潜力,它能极大地促进撒哈拉以南非洲地区的粮食安全。

Intercropping Legumes Improves Long Term Productivity and Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Stocks in Sub-Saharan Africa

Intercropping Legumes Improves Long Term Productivity and Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Stocks in Sub-Saharan Africa

Food, feed, and fiber production needs to increase to support demands of the growing population in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), while soil fertility continues to decline. Intercropping, the cultivation of two or more crop species on the same field, can provide yield benefits and is suggested to positively affect soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks. This study uses the biogeochemical model system LandscapeDNDC with the objective to (a) represent maize-legume intercropping systems in different bioregions in SSA by simultaneously simulating both crops and their interactions and (b) assess long-term (20 years) impacts of intercropping under varying mineral fertilizer inputs (0–150 kg N ha−1 yr−1) on productivity as well as soil organic C and N stocks. We test LandscapeDNDC on 82 field data sets (site-year-treatment combinations) from 18 sites to represent yields and soil C/N dynamics of maize-legume intercropping systems. Using the model for long-term scenario simulations showed that intercropping allows to sustain productivity and to improve or maintain SOC stock in low or zero fertilizer systems if all residues are returned to the soil. In contrast, for sole-cropped maize systems, a decline in SOC stocks was simulated unless a minimum of 35 kg N ha−1 yr−1 of fertilizer was applied at full residue return. We conclude that intercropping using legumes alongside sufficient residue return allows for stabilizing long-term yields while avoiding SOC losses even with low fertilizer N inputs. Overall, our study confirms the potential of intercropping as a sustainable agricultural practice that could significantly contribute to food security in SSA.

期刊介绍: Global Biogeochemical Cycles (GBC) features research on regional to global biogeochemical interactions, as well as more local studies that demonstrate fundamental implications for biogeochemical processing at regional or global scales. Published papers draw on a wide array of methods and knowledge and extend in time from the deep geologic past to recent historical and potential future interactions. This broad scope includes studies that elucidate human activities as interactive components of biogeochemical cycles and physical Earth Systems including climate. Authors are required to make their work accessible to a broad interdisciplinary range of scientists.
