Biodegradation of Slow-Release Fertilizers (Methyleneureas) in Soil

The biodegradation of urea and condensation products thereof (ureaforms or methyleneureas), their nitrification, and their influence on the respiratory rate of soil was studied over periods of up to 100 days. The total methyleneurea content of the soil was determined after its acidic extraction, using a convenient colorimetric assay, and an HPLC protocol was established to analyze for specific components of methyleneureas. Urea, unfractionated methyleneureas, and hot-water soluble methyleneureas were rapidly metabolized to ammonium, which accumulated to high concentrations and was consequently oxidized to nitrate; an accumulation of nitrite was observed during urea but not during methyleneurea degradation. Hot water-insoluble methyleneureas were degraded much more slowly, and ammonium formed from these compounds was oxidized to nitrate without being released in significant amounts. These results suggest that the use of methyleneureas of optimized composition with regard to their water solubility may help to resolve problems such as the toxicity of ammonia to plant growth as well as nitrogen loss by leaching of nitrate, denitrification and volatilization.     

UASB处理畜禽废水的氨化率研究

因畜禽废水除了含有大量的有机物，还含有一定量的氨基酸，因此，研究利用UASB处理畜禽废水，在不同环境条件和工况条件下对氨化率的影响，结果表明：氨化菌适应的pH值范围较宽，在6．5—8．0范围均可以较好的生存，其中以7．0为最佳；温度与氨化率基本成正相关关系，从经济等多种角度考虑，中温阶段38％为最适宜；氨化率随进水浓度的增加而增加；进水有机负荷越大，氨化率越小。     

Does low N-mineralisation rate in soils under grass help limit nitrate leaching in summer?

This paper aimed to confirm the hypothesis that rates of ammonification and net mineral-N production in soils under grass in summer are low and this, rather than nitrate uptake by plants, reduces mineral leaching from soils in summer. Six sets of soil samples were collected from under mown grass on the University of York campus in the UK. Samples were taken from two depths in late summer (August) and late autumn (November) to compare seasonal differences in N species transformations when field-moist soils were incubated for a week at ambient outdoor temperatures after prior removal of vegetation. Ammonification and net mineral-N production rates were low in August in spite of warm temperatures. Net mineral-N production rates were also low in November. The results agreed with those of an earlier study in a different year after considering weather differences between years. They support the hypothesis that litter accumulated over autumn/winter will be minimally mineralised and retain N before the temperature rises in spring. The study shows the merit of measuring concentrations of mineral-N species in both fresh soils and soils incubated at ambient outdoor temperatures after removing plant material to eliminate plant N uptake effects. The results suggest that soil C% and N% are more important than soil C:N ratio alone in understanding controls on N transformations.     

季节性雪被对青藏高原东缘高寒草甸土壤氮矿化的影响

依据自然雪被分布的差异,在青藏高原东缘高寒草甸中设置3条样带(即深雪、中等厚度雪被和浅雪),于2008年的秋冬过渡期,连续监测各样带中的雪被厚度和土壤温度,并采用原位培养法测定每月的土壤氮素氨化、硝化和矿化速率,以研究不同厚度雪被对高寒草甸土壤氮矿化的影响.结果表明,月均土温、每月日最高土温均值分别与雪被厚度极显著相关,二次函数关系拟合较好(R2=0.576,0.685),且根据每月日最高土温均值与雪被厚度的二次函数关系方程可知,25 cm厚的雪被可以起到较好的隔绝效果;土壤含水量受雪被厚度和土壤温差两个因素的显著影响.在秋冬过渡期末,浅雪梯度下土壤硝态氮含量显著降低,且雪被下的净氮矿化速率与月均土温、每月日最高土温均值、每月日最低土温均值都分别呈极显著相关,二次函数关系拟合较好(R2=0.589,0.541,0.601).研究表明,不同厚度的雪被对土壤温度和含水量影响显著,从而显著地影响着土壤氮的矿化,深雪更有利于氨化、硝化和氮矿化.图7表2参36     

蔬菜与餐厨垃圾厌氧发酵启动阶段微生物分析

为了研究厌氧发酵启动阶段微生物菌群结构、数量变化情况与沼气产量的关系，分别对蔬菜废弃物和餐厨垃圾单一物料发酵进行分析，并测定pH值、挥发性脂肪酸（VFA）、氧化还原电位。结果表明，餐厨垃圾比蔬菜废弃物的启动时间长，但产气持久。蔬菜废弃物中细菌达峰值的时间早于餐厨垃圾，说明蔬菜废弃物中的有机质更利于微生物降解利用。两种原料中的微生物群落结构变化一致，启动阶段初期好氧和兼性厌氧细菌属优势菌，其中产酸菌增殖速率高于氨化细菌，是启动阶段降解有机质的主要菌群。随后厌氧细菌快速增殖，13增殖速率由不足20％增长到近100％并保持稳定。厌氧纤维素降解菌在启动阶段增殖较慢，原料中纤维素降解在厌氧发酵后期。原料液VFA中丁酸含量最多，最高浓度4．7mg／mL以上，占有机酸总量总量的46％以上，厌氧发酵类型为丁酸发酵型。     

4种农药对土壤微生物的影响Ⅱ:氮素矿质化的变化

研究农药,氯氰菊酯、高效氯氰菊酯、多菌灵和丁硫克百威对山西省两种土壤氮素矿质化（ 氨化作用和硝化作用） 的影响．结果表明,添加低浓度（ ｗ ＝ １００ ｍｇ／ｋｇ） 的４ 种农药,对土壤氮素矿质化无显著影响． 高浓度（ ｗ ＝ １０００ ｍｇ／ｋｇ） 的菊酯类农药会抑制土壤中硝化细菌的活动,使土壤中氨的含量明显积累;添加高浓度多菌灵的土壤样品出现硝态氮积累的现象,这可能与其对微生物生长影响有关;添加高浓度丁硫克百威在一种土壤样品中使氨的含量有明显积累,但在另一种土壤样品中与对照基本相同．可见,农药对土壤氮素矿质化及微生物活性的影响,因农药品种的不同和浓度的不同而异,不同的土壤因微生物活性的差异而对农药污染的反应也不同

用控温、控水室内培养方法,研究了中亚热带栲木荷常绿阔叶林和邻近柳杉人工针叶林凋落物的分解及其对栲木荷林土壤氮矿化的影响.结果表明:栲木荷阔叶林的凋落物失重率大于针阔混合凋落物的失重率,大于柳杉针叶纯林凋落物的失重率.所有凋落物失重率都与其初始氮含量呈显著负相关,和初始碳含量呈显著正相关,而与凋落物C/N比的相关性不强.不同凋落物处理下的土壤NO3--N含量差异显著(P＜0.05,N=18),NH4 -N含量差异不显著(P＞0.05,N=18),混合凋落物处理下的土壤NO3--N和NH4 -N含量最高,分别是224.21 mg kg-1和56.77 mg kg-1,其氮转化速率也最高,硝化、氨化、氮矿化速率分别为1.74 mg kg-1 d-1、0.36 mg kg-1 d-1和1.90mg kg-1 d-1.各凋落物处理下的土壤氮含量随时间变化的规律不一致.土壤氨化速率与土壤全氮呈显著正相关(r=0.843,P＜0.05,N=21),与栲木荷林凋落物的失重率呈显著负相关(r=-0.997,P＜0.05,N=21).图3表4参29     

除草剂对尿素氮在土壤中转化的影响

在实验室培养条件下研究除草剂草甘膦和丁草胺对尿素氮在菜地土壤中转化的影响。实验设对照、尿素、尿素＋草甘膦和尿素＋丁草胺4个处理,尿素氮用量为200 mg.kg-1（以干土计）,除草剂用量为w（有效成分）=10 mg.kg-1（以干土计）。结果表明,草甘膦和丁草胺对尿素氨化作用不产生抑制作用,甚至出现促进效果。2种除草剂在培养的前2 d均显著抑制硝化作用,但到第4天时显著促进硝化作用（P〈0.05）。草甘膦对反硝化作用表现显著的抑制作用（P〈0.05）,而丁草胺对反硝化作用有极显著的促进作用（P〈0.01）;丁草胺＋尿素、尿素、草甘膦＋尿素处理的反硝化损失量分别占施氮量的16.90%、6.34%和3.66%。可见,除草剂对土壤氮素转化有一定影响,但不同除草剂对氮素各个转化途径的影响有明显差异,不同除草剂品种间影响程度也不同。
