摘要
Biological N-2 fixation represents the major source of N input in agricultural soils including those in arid regions. The major N-2-fixing systems are the symbiolic systems, which can play a significant role in improving the fertility and productivity of low-N soils. The Rhizobium-legume symbioses have received most attention and have been examined extensively. The behavior of some N-2-fixing systems under severe environmental conditions such as salt stress, drought stress, acidity alkalinity, nutrient deficiency, fertilizers, heavy metals, and pesticides is reviewed These major stress factors suppress the growth and symbiotic characteristics of most rhizobia; however several strains, distributed among various species of rhizobia, are tolerant to stress effects. Some strains of rhizobia form effective (N-2-fixing) symbioses with their host legumes under salt, heat, and acid stresses, and can sometimes no so under the effect of heavy metals. Reclamation and improvement of the fertility of and lands by application of organic (manure and sewage sludge) and inorganic (synthetic) fertilizers are expensive and can be a source of pollution. The Rhizobium-legume (herb or tree) symbiosis is suggested to be the ideal solution to the improvement of soil fertility and the rehabilitation of and lands and is an important direction for future research.
