Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil structure improvement technology, specifically a method for screening metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes of high-altitude and cold mountains based on metabolomics. Background Technology

[0002] Improving soil structure is fundamental to enhancing soil quality. Soil structure, the spatial arrangement of aggregates of different particle sizes, is the basic unit and crucial component of soil structure. It is also a fundamental condition for maintaining soil physical structure and fertility, directly influencing soil porosity, water holding capacity, erosion resistance, soil fertility, and the cycling of microorganisms and organic matter. Aggregates, as an important indicator of soil quality, are key factors in resisting soil fragmentation by external forces. Their formation and stability affect processes such as soil infiltration, crusting, nutrient cycling, and the separation and movement of soil on slopes. The compositional characteristics and stability of soil aggregates play a crucial role in regulating the coordination of multiple factors such as water, fertilizer, air, and heat in the soil, thus determining the soil's sustainable utilization capacity and being of great significance for maintaining soil ecological functions, nutrient conservation, and stable storage.

[0003] Soil metabolites mainly originate from soil microbial metabolic activities, decomposition products of plant and animal remains, substances exuded by plant roots, and the transformation of soil organic matter. Studying the sources and functions of metabolites is crucial for understanding soil fertility, plant health, and ecological processes. Multiple studies have shown that root exudates are the primary source of soil metabolites. These exudates mediate multi-faceted interactions within the rhizosphere, initiating and regulating the dialogue between roots and soil microorganisms. They serve as important mediators for the exchange of matter and energy and the transmission of information within the dynamic system of the plant-soil-microbe interface, playing a vital role in regulating plant adaptation to the microenvironment, mitigating rhizosphere nutrient competition, shaping the structure of the rhizosphere microbial community, and influencing soil element biogeochemical cycling processes.

[0004] Root exudates can enhance the formation and stability of soil aggregates through soil microorganisms and their own processes. On the one hand, soil microorganisms can fully utilize root exudates as a primary carbon and energy source, thereby enhancing microbial activity and indirectly promoting aggregate formation. On the other hand, as plants grow, increased root exudates lead to increased organic matter and microbial content in the soil, causing soil micro-aggregates to transform into larger aggregates through the cementing effect of organic matter and root exudates, as well as the entanglement of roots and hyphae. Furthermore, plant root exudates can effectively increase the proportion of water-stable aggregates in the soil and influence soil nutrient release and fertility by affecting enzyme activity, thus creating a favorable ecological microenvironment for roots.

[0005] Therefore, in-depth research on the relationship between soil metabolites and soil aggregates, and analysis of material exchange and energy flow at the plant-soil interface, is crucial for the formation and stability of aggregates, as well as for soil structure improvement and functional enhancement. In addition, the wet sieving method is required in the research. After sieving soil aggregates, the sieve tray needs to be moved. When moving the sieve tray, the sample on the sieve tray is easy to fall through the sieve holes. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for screening metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes of high-altitude and cold mountains based on metabolomics, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for screening metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes of high-altitude cold mountains based on metabolomics, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Soil sample collection: Along the vertical zonation of the mountains on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, select 8 sunny slope plots (sunny slope: 90-270°) with less human disturbance and consistent vegetation communities (dominant species similarity >80%). Collect undisturbed soil from the plant roots and separate it into fresh soil and air-dried soil. Step 2: Soil aggregate preparation and determination: Remove plant residues, straw and large stones from the soil sample, gently break it into small pieces along its natural structure, and let it air dry for later use; S1: Dry sieving method: The content of aggregates of various particle sizes in air-dried soil samples was determined by the dry sieving method. After the soil samples were air-dried, a certain amount of air-dried soil sample was weighed and sieved through a sieve with apertures of 5 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.25 mm. The sieve was vibrated vertically with an amplitude of 3 cm for 5 minutes. The dry weight of aggregates of various particle sizes was weighed, and the proportion of each aggregate size was calculated. S2: Wet sieving method: Weigh a certain amount of air-dried soil sample, quickly moisten it in pure water, soak for 10 minutes, and then wet sieve it. The sieve apertures are 5mm, 2mm, 1mm, 0.5mm, and 0.25mm respectively. Vibrate the sample up and down 10 times at an amplitude of 2cm. Rinse the agglomerates remaining on each sieve into an aluminum box, dry at 105℃, weigh, and calculate the mass percentage of agglomerates of each aperture size. Soil macroaggregate density (R) 0.25 Measurement: This is a commonly used indicator reflecting the size distribution of soil aggregates. The larger the value, the higher the degree of aggregation and the stronger the stability of the aggregates.

[0008] In the formula: R 0.25 - Proportion of large aggregates (%); M r - Weight of aggregates of various particle sizes (g); M T - Total weight of aggregates (g); Step 3: Determination of soil metabolite composition: S31: Soil sample pretreatment. Take 50g of freshly collected soil and place it in a volumetric flask. Add 100mL of distilled water and place in a shaker at 20℃ for 24h at 100r / min. Then place the volumetric flask in a high-speed centrifuge at 21℃ and rotate at 3500r / min for 15min. Extract the supernatant twice with ethyl acetate, filter and combine the filtrates. Centrifuge at 3500r / min for 15min, collect the supernatant, remove water with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter through a 0.45μm organic filter, and place in a 1.5ml sample vial for GC-MS detection. S32: GC-MS determination was performed using a gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. 5 μL of sample was injected splitlessly at an injection port temperature of 260 ℃ and a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min. -1 The temperature program is as follows: 50 ℃ (hold for 2 min) → 20 ℃·min -1 Increase to 150 ℃ → at 5 ℃·min -1 Increase to 220 ℃ → at 6 ℃·min -1 The temperature was increased to 250 °C and held for 15 min. Mass spectrometry conditions: electron impact (EI) ionization, ionization energy 70 eV, ion source temperature 200 °C, interface temperature 280 °C, scan range 33–600 m / z. S33: Metabolite composition analysis. The total ion chromatogram was obtained based on the GC-MS test results. The content of substances was represented by the peak intensity. Metabolites were quantitatively analyzed by peak area. The identified metabolites were annotated using the NIST database. The relative content of various substances was calculated using the area normalization method. The analysis showed that PHE (phenolic compounds) can promote the formation and stability of soil macroaggregates, which is helpful for soil structure improvement and function enhancement.

[0017] This invention provides a method for screening metabolomics-based metabolites that are beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes of high-altitude and cold mountains, which has the following advantages: 1. This study utilizes metabolomics to screen metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes of high-altitude, cold mountains. Through metabolomics screening, metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement were identified, particularly phenolic (PHE) metabolites, which showed a significant positive correlation with the formation and stability of large soil aggregates. This provides new theoretical basis and practical guidance for soil structure improvement. Correlation analysis revealed the selective enrichment or repulsion relationships of soil metabolites in aggregates of different particle sizes, especially the positive impact of phenolic metabolites on the stability of soil aggregates, providing a new perspective for understanding soil ecological functions and nutrient cycling.

[0018] 2. This method, based on metabolomics screening, is used on the sunny slopes of high-altitude, cold mountains to screen metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement. In screening mode, a baffle belt aligns the sluice gate with the sieve plate, ensuring unobstructed screening channels. In transfer and backwashing mode, pulling out the screw triggers a mechanical linkage: first rack-threaded rod-second rack-connecting rod-worm / worm wheel, driving the baffle belt to move horizontally, using its non-perforated portion to seal the bottom of the sieve plate. This prevents screened material or blockages from accidentally falling off during the movement of the screening mechanism.

[0019] 3. This method, based on metabolomics screening, for metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes in high-altitude, cold mountains utilizes a backwashing mode. As the squeezing bottle and nozzle assembly move to a specific position, the baffle belt retracts accordingly, causing the trough to align with the nozzle. This design avoids the risk of sample loss due to water flow directly carrying the sample back to the sieve plate during rinsing caused by trough misalignment. It also ensures that the high-pressure water flow is concentrated on the exposed sieve openings, dislodging any blocked samples. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example 1 Please see Figure 21 This invention provides a technical solution: a method for screening metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes of high-altitude and cold mountains based on metabolomics, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Soil sample collection: Along the vertical zonation of the mountains on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, select 8 sunny slope plots (sunny slope: 90-270°) with less human disturbance and consistent vegetation communities (dominant species similarity >80%). Collect undisturbed soil from the plant roots and separate it into fresh soil and air-dried soil. Step 2: Soil aggregate preparation and determination: Remove plant residues, straw and large stones from the soil sample, gently break it into small pieces along its natural structure, and let it air dry for later use; S1: Dry sieving method: The content of aggregates of various particle sizes in air-dried soil samples was determined using the dry sieving method. After air-drying, a certain amount of the air-dried soil sample was weighed and sieved through a sieve with apertures of 5 mm, 2 mm, 1 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.25 mm. The sieve was vibrated vertically with an amplitude of 3 cm for 5 minutes. The dry weight of aggregates of various particle sizes was then measured, and the proportion of each aggregate size was calculated. S2: Wet sieving method: Weigh a certain amount of air-dried soil sample, quickly moisten it in pure water, soak it for 10 minutes, and then wet-sieve it. The sieve apertures are 5mm, 2mm, 1mm, 0.5mm, and 0.25mm respectively. Vibrate the sample up and down 10 times at an amplitude of 2cm. Rinse the agglomerates remaining on each sieve into an aluminum box, dry it at 105℃, weigh it, and calculate the mass percentage of agglomerates of each aperture size. (3) Specific gravity of soil macroaggregates (R) 0.25 ) Measurement It is a commonly used indicator reflecting the size distribution of soil aggregates. The larger the value, the higher the degree of aggregation and the stronger the stability of the aggregates.

[0024] In the formula: R 0.25 - Proportion of large aggregates (%); M r - Weight of aggregates of various particle sizes (g); M T - Total weight of aggregates (g); Step 3: Determination of soil metabolite composition: S31: Soil sample pretreatment. Take 50g of freshly collected soil and place it in a volumetric flask. Add 100mL of distilled water and place in a shaker at 20℃ for 24h at 100r / min. Then place the volumetric flask in a high-speed centrifuge at 21℃ and rotate at 3500r / min for 15min. Extract the supernatant twice with ethyl acetate, filter and combine the filtrates. Centrifuge at 3500r / min for 15min, collect the supernatant, remove water with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter through a 0.45μm organic filter, and place in a 1.5ml sample vial for GC-MS detection. S32: GC-MS determination was performed using a gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. 5 μL of sample was injected splitlessly at an injection port temperature of 260 ℃ and a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min. -1 The temperature program is as follows: 50 ℃ (hold for 2 min) → 20 ℃·min -1 Increase to 150 ℃ → at 5 ℃·min -1 Increase to 220 ℃ → at 6 ℃·min -1 The temperature was increased to 250 °C and held for 15 min. Mass spectrometry conditions: electron impact (EI) ionization, ionization energy 70 eV, ion source temperature 200 °C, interface temperature 280 °C, scan range 33–600 m / z. S33: Metabolite composition analysis. A total ion chromatogram (TIC) was obtained based on GC-MS results. The horizontal axis represents elution time, and the vertical axis represents elution intensity. Different peaks and elution times are used to distinguish substances, and the content of a substance is indicated by its elution intensity. Metabolites were quantitatively analyzed using peak area. The identified metabolites were annotated using the NIST database, and the relative content of each substance was calculated using area normalization.

[0025] In R4.3.3 software, Spearman's analysis was used to statistically assess the correlation between soil metabolites and soil aggregate stability on sunny slopes of high-altitude and cold mountains.

[0026] S4: Correlation analysis. In the figure, the vertical axis represents the proportion of agglomerates of different particle sizes obtained by wet sieving and dry sieving. On the vertical axis, W0.25mm_2mm and W0.25mm_ represent large agglomerates measured by wet sieving, and D0.25mm_2mm and D0.25mm_ represent large agglomerates measured by dry sieving. All four types of agglomerates belong to R0.25mm_. 0.25 Category of class aggregates.

[0027] The horizontal axis represents the percentage of each major soil metabolite category as determined by GC-MS, and the ratio of the number of specific species within each category to the total number of categories. The major soil metabolites on the horizontal axis are: ALK (alkanes), ALC (alcohols), EST (esters), OA (organic acids), ETH (ethers), ALD (aldehydes), KET (ketones), PHE (phenols), QUI (quinones), ALKEN (olefins), and OTH (others). ALK2, ALC2, EST2, OA2, ETH2, ALD2, KET2, PHE2, QUI2, ALKEN2, and OTH2 represent the percentage of specific species within each of these major metabolite categories to the total number of categories.

[0028] Correlation heatmaps were used to analyze the strength and significance of associations between soil aggregates of different particle sizes (large aggregates, micro aggregates, silt and clay components, etc.) and various soil metabolites (such as amino acids, organic acids, sugars, phenolic compounds, etc.). The heatmaps visually represent the range of correlation coefficients using a color gradient (blue to green), and statistical significance is marked with an asterisk (*) to indicate a significant relationship.

[0029] The analysis results show that the distribution of soil metabolites in aggregates of different particle sizes is not uniform, but exhibits significant selective enrichment or repulsion relationships, among which R 0.25 A significant positive correlation was found with PHE metabolites, suggesting that PHE (phenolic compounds) can promote the formation and stability of large soil aggregates, thus contributing to soil structure improvement and functional enhancement.

A sound-emitting plate 39 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the first guide block 38. One end of each elastic card 40 is engaged with the surface of the sound-emitting plate 39. When the elastic card 40 strikes the sound-emitting plate 39, a clicking sound is emitted.

[0041] Among them, a second drive box 46 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive frame 36 and the side of the elastic card 40. A second guide block 50 is opened inside the second drive box 46. A spring 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the second guide block 50. A push post 49 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 51. The bottom end of the push post 49 extends into the guide groove 48 opened at the bottom of the second drive box 46 and is fixedly connected to a second magnet block 47. A fifth rack 57 is fixedly connected to one side of the push post 49. The fifth rack 57 is located inside the second drive box 46 and inside the guide cavity 56 opened to the right of the second magnet block 47. A rotating shaft 58 is rotatably connected inside the guide cavity 56. A gear 59 that cooperates with the fifth rack 57 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 58. One end of the rotating shaft 58 extends into the connecting box 18.

By adjusting the position of the limit block 55, the movable height of each fifth rack 57 can be adjusted, and thus the distance that each second drive box 46 drives the fourth rack 41 to move can be adjusted.

[0042] In summary, this method for screening metabolites beneficial to soil structure improvement on sunny slopes of high-altitude cold mountains based on metabolomics involves placing a set of screening mechanisms on the top of the mounting base 6 on the fixed frame 4. Then, one end of the screw 14 is passed through the mounting base 6 and the threaded block 7 and inserted into the limiting hole, so that one end of the screw 14 pushes the slot 20 and the push column 21 to compress the spring 22. At this time, the push column 21 drives the first rack 23 to move without driving the first drive gear 25 to drive the rotating shaft 24 to rotate through the one-way bearing, so that the through groove 17 is located below the sieve plate 10. Then, five screening mechanisms are stacked in sequence, so that the socket 64 of the uppermost screening mechanism is inserted into the outside of the insertion frame 9 of the lowermost screening mechanism. Then, the fixed frame 4 is immersed in the water cylinder 2. Next, the soil sample is placed above the sieve plate 10 in the uppermost screening mechanism. Then, the fixed frame 4 is installed on the telescopic end of the vibrator 1 with bolts. The vibrator 1 drives the fixed frame 4 and the screening mechanism to vibrate for wet screening. After screening is complete, remove the connecting bolts between the fixed frame 4 and the telescopic end of the vibrator 1, remove the water cylinder 2 from under the vibrator 1, then pull the fixed frame 4 out of the water cylinder 2 and drain the water from the screening mechanism. First, tighten screw 14 so that it moves out of the limiting hole, threaded block 7, and mounting base 6. At this time, spring 22 pushes push column 21 and slot 20 to reset, causing push column 21 to drive the first rack 23 to reset. This allows the first rack 23 to drive the rotating shaft 24 via the first drive gear 25 and one-way bearing, which in turn drives the two sprockets 27 and threaded rod 26 to rotate. The second rack 28 is driven to move, causing the second rack 28 to drive the gear 33 to rotate the connecting rod 31. The connecting rod 31 drives the two worm gears 30 to rotate through the two first bevel gears 32. The worm gears 30 drive the take-up roller 15 to rotate, so that the left take-up roller 15 releases the baffle 16, and the right take-up roller 15 takes up the part of the baffle 16 with the through groove 17. When one screw 14 is completely pulled out, the second rack 28 moves to the midpoint of the stroke of the threaded rod 26. Then the other screw 14 is unscrewed, so that the second rack 28 moves to the end point of the stroke of the threaded rod 26, so that the baffle 16 closes the bottom of the screen plate 10. At this point, remove the screening mechanism from the fixed frame 4, clean the screened material on the surface of the screen plate 10 into the aluminum box using a tool, and then place the screening mechanism on top of the collection frame 3. Pass one end of the screw 14 through the fixing piece 35 and screw it into the threaded block 7 to fix the position of the screening mechanism. At this time, gear 2 34 is located on the left side of the drive frame 36. Then, the operator pulls the threaded end seat 62, causing the threaded end seat 62 to drive the nozzle 63 and the first guide block 38 to move along both sides of the collection frame 3, causing the elastic card 40 to deform and the first guide block 38 to detach from the foremost elastic card 40. Then, the first guide block 38 continues to move. When it moves to the next elastic card 40, the elastic card 40, under its own elastic force, will... The front end of the elastic card 40 is inserted into the first guide block 38, and the front end of the elastic card 40 strikes the sound-emitting plate 39, causing the sound-emitting plate 39 to emit a crisp clicking sound, thereby reminding the staff to reach the designated position. At this time, the first magnet block 37 is located below a second drive box 46. At this time, a repulsive force is generated between the first magnet block 37 and the second magnet block 47, causing the second magnet block 47 to push the push column 2 49 to overcome the supporting force of the spring 2 51 and move upward. This causes the push column 2 49 to drive the fifth rack 57 to move until the top of the push column 2 49 contacts the bottom of the limit block 55. At this time, the fifth rack 57 drives the gear 3 59 to drive the rotating shaft 2 58 to rotate through the one-way bearing. This causes the rotating shaft 2 58 to drive the second bevel gear 45 to drive the connecting rod 44 to rotate, thus... The connecting rod 44 drives the threaded shaft 42 to rotate via two sprockets 43, which in turn drives the fourth rack 41 to move. The fourth rack 41 then drives the gear 34 to rotate the connecting rod 31. The connecting rod 31, through two first bevel gears 32, drives two worm gears 30 to rotate. Each worm gear 30, via a worm wheel 29, drives the take-up roller 15 to rotate. The left take-up roller 15 winds up the baffle belt 16, while the right take-up roller 15 releases the baffle belt 16, causing the through groove 17 to gradually move below the screen plate 10. The stroke of one fifth rack 57 can drive one section of the through groove 17 on the baffle belt 16 to move below the screen plate 10. Then, the user squeezes the water bottle 61, squeezing water through the threaded end seat 62 into the nozzle 63. The screen plate 10 is backwashed by the spray pipe, and then the first guide block 38 and the nozzle 63 are pulled to move. When the first magnet block 37 moves to one side of the second drive box 46, the magnetic repulsion between the second magnet block 47 and the first magnet block 37 disappears. At this time, the second spring 51 pushes the second push column 49 and the second magnet block 47 to move down, so that the second push column 49 drives the fifth rack 57 to move down inside the guide cavity 56. At this time, the fifth rack 57 cannot drive the rotating shaft 58 to rotate through the third gear 59 and the one-way bearing. When the first magnet block 37 moves to the next second drive box 46, it continues to work according to the above principle, flushing out the blockage in the screen hole of the screen plate 10, and flushing the blockage out of the outside of the insertion frame 9 by the water flow and falling into the aluminum box placed at the lower end of the insertion frame 9. Until the first magnet block 37 moves out from under the last second drive box 46, the fourth rack 41 moves to its maximum stroke, causing the through groove 17 to move completely under the screen plate 10. Then, one end of the screw 14 is moved out from inside the threaded block 7 and the fixing member 35, removing the screening mechanism from the collection frame 3. Then, the first guide block 38 is pulled to reset and move, causing the first guide block 38 to drive the first magnet block 37 to move sequentially under several second drive boxes 46. At this time, a repulsive force is generated between the first magnet block 37 and the second magnet block 47, causing the second magnet block 47 to push... Push column 2 49 moves upward against the supporting force of spring 2 51, causing push column 2 49 to drive the fifth rack 57 to move until the top of push column 2 49 contacts the bottom of limit block 55. At this time, the fifth rack 57 drives gear 3 59 to drive rotating shaft 2 58 to rotate through one-way bearing. Rotating shaft 2 58 drives second bevel gear 45 to drive connecting rod 44 to rotate. Connecting rod 44 drives threaded shaft 42 to rotate through two sprockets 2 43. Threaded shaft 42 drives fourth rack 41 to move, causing fourth rack 41 to reset and move until fourth rack 41 moves to the initial position.
