Studies in Microbial population of Alpine Tatachia and Low Altitude Fu-Shan Forest soils / 高海拔塔塔加及低海拔福山森林土壤微生物族群研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 農業化學研究所 / 91 / To investigate the effect of attitude on microbial ecology of forest soils and the role of microbes on the organic matter decomposition and nutritional flow, Tatachia and Fu-Shan forests were chosen. Environment conditions of atmospheric and soil temperatures, light intensity, soil properties of moisture content, pH, total organic carbon, total nitrogen and C/N ratio and populations of total count, actinomycetes, fungi, cellulolytic microbes, phosphate-solubilizing microbes and nitrogen-fixing microbes were measured during the past year.

In the soil profiles of Tatachia grassland and Fu-Shan ridge soil, the pH was low at the topsoil, while total organic carbon and total nitrogen were reversed and had high values at the topsoil. In the case of microbial populations, the number decreased with increasing of soil depth. The populations decreased as follows: 88.23-91.65 %, 72.67-92.38 %, 69.36-96.56 %, 56.21-89.41 %, 75.63-83.84 % and 59.17-89.93 % in total microbes, actinomycetes, fungi, cellulolytic microbes, phosphate-solubilizing microbes, and nitrogen-fixing microbes, respectively. In the case of Fu-Shan ridge profile, the populations at the bottom horizon decreased as follows: 88.23-91.65 %, 72.67-92.38 %, 69.36-96.56 %, 56.21-89.41 %, 75.63-83.84 % and 59.17-89.93 % as those of topsoil in total microbes, actinomycetes, fungi, cellulolytic microbes, phosphate-solubilizing microbes and nitrogen-fixing microbes, respectively.
In the forest soil DNA extraction and purification, we modified Krsek’s methods by extending Lysis time, adding AlK(SO4)2, PVPP as pre-washed treatment and PVP gel exciding if the final product was still dirty. In the DGGE profile of Fu-Shan forest soil, the three sampling sites had similar soil microbial populations. The organic layer had the larger microbial amounts than topsoil, and subsoil had less microbial amounts. The valley soil had the fewer microbial diversity and less microbial amounts compared to other two sampling sites.
