农田土壤硝化-反硝化作用与N2O的排放

在北京潮土上研究了冬小麦夏玉米轮作体系下土壤硝化反硝化作用以及N2O排放情况.结果表明,小麦生育期土壤温度及含水量较低,无论是反硝化损失氮量还是土壤的N2O生成排放量均不高.土壤的N2O生成排放量与反硝化氮量相当或低于反硝化氮量.玉米生育期土壤温度升高以及孔隙含水量有较大的改善,反硝化损失氮量、N2O生成排放量有明显上升.通常情况下土壤反硝化损失氮量与N2O排放氮量基本处于同一水平.在玉米十叶期追肥后的较短时间内,N2O总排放量明显高于反硝化损失氮量,说明至少在这一阶段中,硝化作用在北方旱地土壤N2O的排放中发挥了主要作用.在评价北方旱地农田土壤氮素硝化反硝化损失中,硝化作用的氮素损失是不可忽视的重要方面.

亚热带土壤氮素反硝化气态产物研究

亚热带可变电荷土壤化学性质与温带地区恒电荷土壤有诸多不同特点,使得反硝化具有一些与温带土壤不同的特性,进一步深入研究亚热带土壤反硝化气体产物的组成比例、主要影响因素和机理,将有助于加深对亚热带环境条件下土壤N循环的理解和认识,以及为正确评价亚热带土壤反硝化环境效应提高科学依据。因此,就亚热带土壤厌氧培养条件下反硝化的气态产物问题进行了探讨。土样采自江西典型亚热带红壤地区,在加入K15NO3（10 atom%15N,加入N量为200 mg·kg-1）条件下进行了7 d 30℃、密闭、淹水、充N2的严格厌氧培养试验。试验结果表明：随培养时间推移,15N回收率逐渐下降,土壤总残留的15NO3-质量分数和回收率之间存在显著正相关关系（p〈0.001）,表明反硝化作用越弱的土样回收率越高。总气态氮损失率的估计值和实测值都随培养时间延长呈上升趋势,两者之间存在显著正相关性（p〈0.001）。根据稳定性同位素15N示踪试验结果初步估计,厌氧培养7 d内反硝化作用产生的气态产物中N2O占总气态氮损失的17.1%,N2占8.7%,估计NO可能是主要的反硝化产物之一。以未能回收的氮计算,NO约占总气态氮损失的67.5%~78.6%,平均为74.1%。反硝化气态产物中NO和N2O总量占总气态氮损失的91.3%。NO、N2O和N2分别占总施入氮量的18.6%、4.4%、2.0%。因此,亚热带土壤氮素反硝化过程中主要气态产物可能为NO和N2O,而非对环境无害的N2。     

土壤反硝化过程速率测定方法

土壤反硝化过程是指土壤中的硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐等含氮物质在反硝化微生物的作用下还原成氮气(N_2)、一氧化氮(NO)、氧化亚氮(N_2O)等气体的过程,是氮循环中重要的过程之一.反硝化的中间产物N_2O是一种重要的温室气体,其中从土壤中释放的量占地球总排放量的70%.反硝化作用主要由硝酸盐还原酶(nitrate reductase,Nar)、亚硝酸还原酶(nitrite reductase,Nir)、一氧化氮还原酶(nitric oxide reductase,Nor)和氧化亚氮还原酶(nitrous oxide reductase,Nos)所催化,相应的编码基因分别为nar、nir、nor和nos.多种土壤反硝化速率测定方法因技术、设备、实验设计等原因存在不同优缺点,据此在自己的研究中选择合适的方法至关重要.测定土壤反硝化的方法目前主要有乙炔抑制法、~(15)N同位素示踪法、N_2直接测定法、硝酸盐消失法、质量守恒法和化学计量法等6种方法.乙炔抑制法,操作简单,但是不适合土壤养分含量低的土壤;~(15)N同位素示踪法测定结果比较精确,但是价格昂贵,成本高;N_2直接测定法则需要精密的仪器.今后反硝化过程测定方法的发展不仅是测量方法的改进,也需要注重精密仪器的研发.(表3参62)

在实验室培养条件下，采用土壤培养-乙炔抑制法测定尿素、碳酸氢铵、硫酸铵和氯化铵4种氮肥品种在灰泥土中反硝化损失和N2O排放量的差异。结果表明，氮肥品种间的N2O排放量和反硝化损失量存在极显著差异。尿素、碳铵和氯化铵的N2O排放量极显著高于硫铵，占施肥量的3．88%-4．14％；尿素和碳铵的反硝化损失量分别为施肥量的5．8％和3．7％，极显著高于硫铵和氯化铵；但氯化铵的反硝化损失量显著低于CK。     

氮输入对纳帕海沼泽湿地土壤氨挥发和反硝化的影响

选取纳帕海常见湿地植物茭草（Zizania caduciflora）和水葱（Scirpus validus）]及其生长土壤为对象,通过培养实验,研究了3个不同氮输入水平[0g-m^2（对照,NO）、20g-m^2（N20）、40g-m^2。（N40）]对茭草和水葱湿地土壤氨挥发和反硝化的影响。结果表明：氮输入促进了茭草和水葱湿地土壤氨挥发化作用,增加了湿地土壤氨挥发的累积量。适量的氮输入对湿地土壤氨挥发促进显著。在培养前期适量氮输入下的氨挥发积累量高于高水平氮输入的,随着培养时间的延长,后期适量氮输入下的积累量明显下降;而高水半氮输入处理下氨挥发积累量的明显增加,适量氮输入下茭草氨挥发积累大于水葱。氮输入增强了菱草和水葱湿地土壤反硝化作用,加快了反硝化N2O的排放。适量的氮输入促进茭草反硝化作用和反硝化损失量增加明显,培养的前期的适量氮输入处理下的反硝化作用和反硝化N2O的排放增强不明显,随着培养时间的延长,高水平氮输入处理下的反硝化损失量越明显,并且水葱较茭草更为明显。后期适量氮输入下的反硝化损失速率和反硝化损失量高于高水平氮输入,适量氮输入较高水平氮输人促进明显,高水平的氮输入限制了反硝化损失,反硝化N2O的排放总量下降,土壤中氮富集增大。

Effects of restoration and reflooding on soil denitrification in a leveed Midwestern floodplain.

River floodplains have the potential to remove nitrate from water through denitrification, the anaerobic microbial conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas. An important factor in this process is the interaction of river water with floodplain soil; however, many rivers have been disconnected from their historic floodplains by levees. To test the effect of reflooding a degraded floodplain on nitrate removal, we studied changes in soil denitrification rates on the Baraboo River floodplain in Wisconsin, USA, as it underwent restoration. Prior to this study, the site had been leveed, drained, and farmed for more than 50 years. In late fall 2002, the field drainage system was removed, and a gate structure was installed to allow controlled flooding of this site with river water. Soil moisture was extremely variable among zones and months and reflected local weather. Soil organic matter was stable over the study period with differences occurring along the elevation gradient. High soil nitrate concentrations occurred in dry, relatively organic-poor soil samples and, conversely, all samples with high moisture soils characterized by low nitrate. We measured denitrification in static cores and potential denitrification in bulk samples amended with carbon and nitrogen, one year before and two years following the manipulation. Denitrification rates showed high temporal and spatial variability. Static core rates of individual sites ranged widely (from 0.00 to 16.7 microg N2O-N x [kg soil](-1) x h(-1), mean +/- SD = 1.10 +/- 3.02), and denitrification enzyme activity (DEA) rates were similar with a slightly higher mean (from 0.00 to 15.0 microg N2O-N x [kg soil](-1) x h(-1), 1.41 +/- 1.98). Denitrification was not well-correlated with soil nitrate, organic matter content, or moisture levels, the three parameters typically thought to control denitrification. Static core denitrification rates were not significantly different across years, and DEA rates decreased slightly the second year after restoration. These results demonstrate that restored agricultural soil has the potential for denitrification, but that floodplain restoration did not immediately improve this potential. Future floodplain restorations should be designed to test alternative methods of increasing denitrification.     

Nitrogen cycling in microbial mats: rates and patterns of denitrification and nitrogen fixation

Spatial and temporal variations in nitrogen fixation and denitrification rates were examined between July 1991 and September 1992 in the intertidal regions of Tomales Bay (California, USA). Microbial mat communities inhabited exposed mudflat and vegetated marsh surface sediments. Mudflat and marsh sediments exhibited comparable rates of nitrogen fixation. Denitrification rates were higher in marsh sediments. Nitrogen fixation rates were lowest during January at both sites, whereas highest rates occurred during summer and fall. Denitrification rates were highest during fall and winter months in marsh sediments, while rates in mudflat sediments were highest during summer and fall. In mudflat sediments, nitrogen fixation and denitrification rates, integrated over 24 h, ranged from 6 to 79 mg N m^-1 d^-1 and 1 to 10 mg N m^-2 d^-1, respectively. Rates of denitrification represented between 6 and 20% of nitrogen fixation rates during the day, but exceeded or were equivalent to nitrogen fixation rates at night. The highest integrated rates of both nitrogen fixation and denitrification occurred during July, whereas, the highest percent loss occurred during spring when denitrification rates amounted to 20% of nitrogen fixation rates during the day. Over an annual cycle, inputs of fixed N to mudflat communities occurred exclusively during daylight. These results underscore the importance of determining integrated diel rates of both nitrogen fixation and denitrification when constructing N budgets. Using this approach, it was shown that microbial denitrification can represent a significant loss of combined nitrogen from mats on daily as well as monthly time scales.     

土壤中氧化亚氮的产生及减少排放量的措施

氧化亚氮（N2O）是大气中的一种痕量气体，也是一种重要的温室效应气体，还可使臭氧层遭到破坏。大气中N2O浓度呈不断上升趋势，其上升与人类活动关系极大，对环境的潜在破坏性也愈加严重。土壤是N2O的重要产生源，土壤中的硝化作用和反硝化作用是N2O的主要生成过程。过量施用氮肥、含氮有机物燃烧、毁林开荒等人类活动对N2O释放增加的影响不容忽视。人类应采取各项可行的措施来减少N2O的释放量如提高氮肥利用效率，减少生物体燃烧，退耕还林和保护森林资源等。     

The enigma of progress in denitrification research.

Humans have dramatically increased the amount of reactive nitrogen (primarily ammonium, nitrogen oxides, and organically bound N) circulating in the biosphere and atmosphere, creating a wide array of desirable products (e.g., food production) and undesirable consequences (e.g., eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems and air pollution). Only when this reactive N is converted back to the chemically unreactive dinitrogen (N2) form, do these cascading effects of elevated reactive N cease to be of concern. Among the quantitatively most important processes for converting reactive N to N2 gas is the biological process of classical denitrification, in which oxides of nitrogen are used as terminal electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration. This Invited Feature on denitrification includes a series of papers that integrate our current state of knowledge across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems on denitrification rates, controlling factors, and methodologies for measuring and modeling denitrification. In this paper, we present an overview of the role of denitrification within the broader N cycle, the environmental and health concerns that have resulted from human alteration of the N cycle, and a brief historical perspective on why denitrification has been so difficult to study. Despite over a century of research on denitrification and numerous recent technological advances, we still lack a comprehensive, quantitative understanding of denitrification rates and controlling factors across ecosystems. Inherent problems of measuring spatially and temporally heterogeneous N2 production under an N2-rich atmosphere account for much of this slow progress, but lack of interdisciplinary communication of research results and methodological developments has also impeded denitrification research. An integrated multidisciplinary approach to denitrification research, from upland terrestrial ecosystems, to small streams, river systems, estuaries, and continental shelf ecosystems, and to the open ocean, may yield new insights into denitrification across landscapes and waterscapes.

Methods for measuring denitrification: diverse approaches to a difficult problem.

Denitrification, the reduction of the nitrogen (N) oxides, nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-), to the gases nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), and dinitrogen (N2), is important to primary production, water quality, and the chemistry and physics of the atmosphere at ecosystem, landscape, regional, and global scales. Unfortunately, this process is very difficult to measure, and existing methods are problematic for different reasons in different places at different times. In this paper, we review the major approaches that have been taken to measure denitrification in terrestrial and aquatic environments and discuss the strengths, weaknesses, and future prospects for the different methods. Methodological approaches covered include (1) acetylene-based methods, (2) 15N tracers, (3) direct N2 quantification, (4) N2:Ar ratio quantification, (5) mass balance approaches, (6) stoichiometric approaches, (7) methods based on stable isotopes, (8) in situ gradients with atmospheric environmental tracers, and (9) molecular approaches. Our review makes it clear that the prospects for improved quantification of denitrification vary greatly in different environments and at different scales. While current methodology allows for the production of accurate estimates of denitrification at scales relevant to water and air quality and ecosystem fertility questions in some systems (e.g., aquatic sediments, well-defined aquifers), methodology for other systems, especially upland terrestrial areas, still needs development. Comparison of mass balance and stoichiometric approaches that constrain estimates of denitrification at large scales with point measurements (made using multiple methods), in multiple systems, is likely to propel more improvement in denitrification methods over the next few years.
