Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plants, in particular to a multi-layer sampling device for dynamically studying changes in plant rhizosphere environment. Background Art

[0002] The rhizosphere refers to the part of the micro-domain soil area that is affected by the activity of plant roots and is different from the soil in physical, chemical and biological properties. The scope of the rhizosphere is very small, generally within a few millimeters from the surface of the root axis. It exists not only in the radial direction from the root surface to the original soil body, but also in the longitudinal direction from the root base to the root tip. Since it is difficult to study the rhizosphere micro-domain under field conditions, many researchers use self-made root boxes to simulate the study of rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils, such as the root box device used in the article published by Yao Jianhua et al. in "Chinese Agricultural Science" Vol. 43, No. 4, 2010, and He et al. in "Soil Biology & Biochemistry" Vol. 37, 2005. The volume of the root box: length × width × height = 150mm × 140mm × 230mm. It is divided into three areas with a 30μm nylon mesh, the middle area with a width of 20mm is the rhizosphere, and the areas with a width of 60mm on both sides are the non-rhizosphere. The growth space of plant roots is: length × width × height = 150mm × 20mm × 230mm. Therefore, its radial growth can only extend in two directions, which does not conform to the actual environment of extending and growing in all directions under field conditions.

[0003] The existing patent CN103293035A discloses a root box test device suitable for studying plant rhizosphere micro-domains. Although the patent can solve the above problems, there is only one large sampling area in the patent, which makes it difficult to perform dynamic sampling according to the sampling time, which has limitations. Therefore, a multi-layer sampling device for dynamically studying changes in the plant rhizosphere environment is invented. Summary of the invention
