Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural ecological restoration technology, and in particular relates to a microalgae-based biological cushion material and its preparation method, as well as its application in sandy soil improvement. Background Technology
[0002] Microalgae, as highly efficient photosynthetic organisms, possess rapid growth, high biomass accumulation, and strong environmental adaptability, and have been widely used in wastewater treatment, biofuel production, and other fields. In recent years, the application of microalgae in agriculture has also gradually attracted attention, especially in soil improvement and desertification control. However, there is currently relatively little research and patent disclosure regarding the preparation of microalgae biomass mats and their application in sandy soils.
[0003] Microalgal biofilms are biofilm structures composed of microalgal cells and their secreted extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). They can fix carbon dioxide, absorb nutrients from the soil, and improve soil structure through photosynthesis. Studies have shown that microalgal biofilms can significantly improve soil water retention and nutrient utilization, while promoting the formation of soil microbial communities. Furthermore, the metabolic products of microalgae have a biostimulatory effect, enhancing plant resilience and growth. In desertification control, artificial algal crust technology has proven to be an effective method for sandy soil improvement. By inoculating microalgae onto the sandy surface to form a stable biofilm, wind and water erosion can be effectively reduced, and soil physicochemical properties can be improved.
[0004] Sandy soils, due to their large particles, high porosity, and poor water and fertilizer retention capacity, are often considered low-fertility soils and difficult to use directly for agricultural production. Traditional sand fixation methods such as chemical sand-fixing agents, mechanical mulching, and engineering sand fixation suffer from high costs, environmental risks, or poor sustainability. Therefore, developing an efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable sand improvement technology is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0037] In the sand improvement application experiment of the application, the functional microalgae biological cushion material prepared according to the formula of examples 1-5 is used, and the spraying treatment is carried out at a concentration of 2 L / square meter, 3 L / square meter, 4 L / square meter and 5 L / square meter, and a negative control group with a spraying amount of 0 L / square meter is set, and the spraying amount is 2 L / square meter according to the formula of example 1. The test cycle is 2 months.
[0038] In the sand improvement experiment of the application, the microalgae biological cushion layer has a significant influence on the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Specifically, the soil pH value changes little under different treatment doses, and is maintained between 7.7 and 8.3, which shows that the microalgae biological cushion layer has a stabilizing effect on the soil acidity and alkalinity. The conductivity and soluble salt content increase with the increase of the treatment dose, especially in the top layer of soil, the conductivity reaches 0.49 ms / cm and the soluble salt content reaches 0.19 g / L under the treatment of 4 L / m 2 The treatment dose, which shows that the microalgae biological cushion layer significantly improves the soluble ion concentration in the soil. The ammonium nitrogen content in different soil layers shows a first increase and then a decrease trend, among which the top layer of soil reaches a peak value of 38.45 mg / kg under the treatment of 3 L / m 2 The treatment dose, which shows that the microalgae biological cushion layer significantly improves the soluble ion concentration in the soil. The ammonium nitrogen content in different soil layers shows a first increase and then a decrease trend, among which the top layer of soil reaches a peak value of 38.45 mg / kg under the treatment of 3 L / m 2 The treatment dose, which shows that the microalgae biological cushion layer significantly improves the soluble ion concentration in the soil. The ammonium nitrogen content in different soil layers shows a first increase and then a decrease trend, among which the top layer of soil reaches a peak value of 38.45 mg / kg under the treatment of 3 L / m 2 The treatment dose, which shows that the microalgae biological cushion layer significantly improves the soluble ion concentration in the soil. The ammonium nitrogen content in different soil layers shows a first increase and then a decrease trend, among which the top layer of soil reaches a peak value of 38.45 mg / kg under the treatment of 3 L / m 2 The treatment dose, which shows that the microalgae biological cushion layer significantly improves the soluble ion concentration in the soil. The ammonium nitrogen content in different soil layers shows a first increase and then a decrease trend, among which the top layer of soil reaches a peak value of 38.45 mg / kg under the treatment of 3 L / m 2 The treatment dose, which shows that the microalgae biological cushion layer significantly improves the soluble ion concentration in the soil. The ammonium nitrogen content in different soil layers shows a first increase and then a decrease trend, among which the top layer of soil reaches a peak value of 38.45 mg / kg under the treatment of 3 L / m 2The processing time was 6.03 mg / kg. These results show that the microalgae biological mat can effectively regulate the nutrient content and ion concentration in the soil, but excessive dosage may lead to the loss or fixation of certain nutrients, affecting their effectiveness. Figures 1-6 The detection results of the biological mat prepared in Example 1.
[0039] In the sand improvement experiment of the present application, the microalgae biological mat has a significant impact on the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Specifically: (1) The species richness difference between each treatment group is obvious, and the 2L / m 2 The number of each interface, class, order, family, genus and species classification element in the bottom layer is generally less, and the biological diversity is lower, while the 4L / m 2 The upper layer, the middle layer and the bottom layer have higher soil biodiversity, and from the negative control group to the 2L / m 2 , 4L / m 2 The number of species at each classification element shows an upward trend. Among the various classification elements, the number of domains is the smallest and relatively stable; the number of classes, orders, families and genera fluctuates greatly between samples; the number of species fluctuates relatively small Figure 7 ).
[0040] (2) Compared with the negative control group, in the experimental group, the genera of luteimonas, alternaria, rhodobacter, sphingobium, paracoccus, lysobacter, IMCC26256, raoultella, chloroplast, lithobacter, gilt-gs-136, sphingomonas, micromonas, sericytochromatia, bacillus, nocardoides, devosia, pseudomonas, microbacterium, methylobacterium, rhizobium-neorhizobium-pararhizobium-rhizobium all have an upward trend Figure 8 ).
[0041] (3) The negative control group and the experimental group have 113 species of bacteria, of which 4L / m 2 , the specific bacteria of the middle layer soil are 531 species, the most, followed by 4L / m 2 , the specific bacteria of the upper layer soil are 491 species Figure 9 ).
[0042] The above examples only describe the preferred mode of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present application made by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present application.
