Soil moisture determines the effectiveness of two urease inhibitors to decrease N<Subscript>2</Subscript>O emission

Among the mitigation strategies to prevent nitrogen (N) losses from ureic fertilizers, urease inhibitors (UIs) have been demonstrated to promote high N use efficiency by reducing ammonia (NH₃) volatilization. In the last few years, some field experiments have also shown its effectiveness in reducing nitrous oxide (N₂O) losses from fertilized soils under conditions of low soil moisture. An incubation experiment was carried out with the aim of assessing the main biotic mechanisms behind N₂O emissions once that the UIs N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamid (NBPT) and phenil phosphorodiamidate (PPDA) were applied with Urea (U) under different soil moisture conditions (40, 60 and 80 % water-filled pore space, WFPS). In the same study we tried to analyze to what extent soil WFPS regulates the effect of these inhibitors on N₂O emissions. The use of PPDA in our study allowed us to compare the effect of NBPT with that of another commercially available urease inhibitor, aiming to see if the results were inhibitor-specific or not. Based on the results from this experiment, a WFPS (i.e. 60 %) was chosen for a second study (i.e. mesocosm experiment) aiming to assess the efficiency of the UIs to indirectly affect N₂O emissions through influencing the pool of soil mineral N. The N₂O emissions at 40 % WFPS were almost negligible, being significantly lower from all fertilized treatments than that produced at 60 and 80 % WFPS. When compared to U alone, NBPT+U reduced the N₂O emissions at 60 % WFPS but had no effect at 80 % WFPS. The application of PPDA significantly increased the emissions with respect to U at 80 % WFPS whereas no significant effect was found at 60 %. At 80 % WFPS, denitrification was the main source of N₂O emissions for all treatments. In the mesocosm study, the application of NBPT+U was an effective strategy to reduce N₂O emissions (75 % reduction compared to U alone), due to a lower soil ammonium (NH₄ ⁺) content induced by the inhibitor. These results suggest that adequate management of the UI NBPT could provide, under certain soil conditions, an opportunity for mitigation of N₂O emissions from fertilized soils.     

Nitrous oxide emissions from black soils with different pH

N₂O fluxes as a function of incubation time from soil with different available N contents and pH were determined. Cumulative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions were measured to indicate soil respiration. A 144-hr incubation experiment was conducted in a slightly acidic agricultural soil (pH_H2O 5.33) after the pH was adjusted to four different values (3.65, 5.00, 6.90 and 8.55). The experiments consisted of a control without added N, and with NH₄⁺-N and NO₃^--N fertilization. The results showed that soil pH contributed significantly to N₂O flux from the soils. There were higher N₂O emissions in the period 0-12 hr in the four pH treatments, especially those enhanced with N-fertilization. The cumulative N₂O-N emission reached a maximum at pH 8.55 and was stimulated by NO₃^--N fertilization (70.4 μg/kg). The minimum emissions appeared at pH 3.65 and were not stimulated by NO₃^--N or NH₄⁺-N fertilization. Soil respiration increased significantly due to N-fertilization. Soil respiration increased positively with soil pH (R² = 0.98, P < 0.01). The lowest CO₂-C emission (30.2 mg/kg) was presented in pH 3.65 soils without N-fertilization. The highest CO₂-C emissions appeared in the pH 8.55 soils for NH₄⁺-N fertilization (199 mg/kg). These findings suggested that N₂O emissions and soil respiration were significantly influenced by low pH, which strongly inhibits soil microbial nitrification and denitrification activities. The content of NO₃^--N in soil significantly and positively affected the N₂O emissions through denitrification.     

Differences in nitrous oxide fluxes from red soil under different land uses in mid-subtropical China

Red soil may play an important role in nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions due to its recent land use change pattern. To predict the land use change effect on N₂O emissions, we examined the relationship between soil N₂O flux and environmental determinants in four different types of land uses in subtropical red soil. During two years of study (January 2005-January 2007), biweekly N₂O fluxes were measured from 09:00 to 11:00 a.m. using static closed chamber method. Objectives were to estimate the seasonal and annual N₂O flux differences from land use change and, reveal the controlling factors of soil N₂O emission by studying the relationship of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), water filled pore space (WFPS) and soil temperature with soil N₂O flux. Nitrous oxide fluxes were significantly higher in hot-humid season than in the cool-dry season. Significant differences in soil N₂O fluxes were observed among four land uses; 2.9, 1.9 and 1.7 times increased N₂O emissions were observed after conventional land use conversion from woodland to paddy, orchard and upland, respectively. The mean annual budgets of N₂O emission were 0.71-2.21 kg N₂O-N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ from four land use types. The differences were partly attributed to increased fertilizer use in agriculture land uses. In all land uses, N₂O fluxes were positively related to soil temperature and DOC accounting for 22-48% and 30-46% of the seasonal N₂O flux variability, respectively. Nitrous oxide fluxes did significantly correlate with WFPS in orchard and upland only. Nitrous oxide fluxes responded positively to MBC in all land use types except orchard which had the lowest WFPS. We conclude that (1) land use conversion from woodland to agriculture land uses leads to increased soil N₂O fluxes, partly due increased fertilizer use, and (2) irrespective of land use, soil N₂O fluxes are under environmental controls, the main variables being soil temperature and DOC, both of which control the supply of nitrification and denitrification substrates.     

High fluxes but different patterns of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide emissions from soil in a cattle overwintering area

Cattle overwintering areas common in central Europe may represent significant point sources of the important greenhouse gases, nitrous oxide (N₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). A 2-year field study was carried out in order to estimate the emissions of N₂O and CO₂ from soil in a cattle overwintering area located in the southwest of the Czech Republic. The measurements were performed at three sampling locations along a gradient of animal impact (severe, moderate, slight) to test the hypothesis that emissions of CO₂ and N₂O are positively related to the degree of impact. In addition to CO₂ and N₂O fluxes determined by using non-vented manual closed chambers, soil mineral nitrogen (NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻), pH and temperature were determined to assess their regulatory role and impact on gas fluxes. The overwintering area was about 4 ha and it had been used for overwintering of about 90 cows since 1995. Deposition of animal excreta resulted in a significant accumulation of nitrogen in the soil during winter, but most of the N₂O was emitted during a few short periods in spring and/or in late autumn. Maximum N₂O fluxes of up to 2.5 mg N₂O-N m⁻² h⁻¹ were recorded at the most impacted location near the animal house, where the highest concentrations of soil mineral nitrogen also occurred. The emissions of CO₂ showed a completely different pattern to those of N₂O, being correlated with soil temperature; the highest emissions thus occurred in June–July, while very low fluxes were found in winter. Emission values ranged from about 0 to 700 mg C-CO₂ m⁻² h⁻¹. Furthermore, the effect of animal impact on CO₂ emissions was opposite to that on N₂O fluxes, as the highest CO₂ fluxes were mostly recorded at the least impacted location, where respiration of plants most likely increased overall CO₂ production. The results show that cattle overwintering areas are important sources of greenhouse gases, including N₂O and CO₂. Fluxes of these two gases are, however, differently distributed over the year, which also suggests that they are controlled by different environmental and soil factors.     

Alkaline ameliorants increase nitrous oxide emission from acidified black soil in Northeastern China

Lime and plant ash are common management used to achieve optimum pH for plant growth and improve soil properties in agricultural soils. Laboratory incubation was conducted to assess N₂0 emissions as influenced by different soil amendments (lime and plant ash) in a slightly acidic arable soil (pH 5.34). The experimental treatments consisted of CK, lime and plant ash fertilized with NH₄⁺-N or N0₃^?-N as nitrogen resource. The results show that lime and plant ash dramatically increases the soil pH and N₂0 emission. For N0₃^?-N fertilization, the cumulative N₂0 emissions from CK, lime and ash are 421, 1669 and 921 μg N₂0-N/kg, respectively. For NH₄⁺-N fertilization, the cumulative N₂0 emissions from CK, lime and ash are 361, 576 and 559 μg N₂0-N/kg, respectively. N0₃^?-N addition leads to more N₂0 emission than that of NH₄⁺-N addition, and lime increases more N₂0 emission than that of plant ash. After incubation, N0₃^?-N content decreased largely. The findings suggested that alkaline ameliorants increase N₂0 emissions due to enhancement of soil denitrification.     

生物质炭对双季稻田土壤反硝化功能微生物的影响

目前,基于田间条件下生物质炭添加对稻田反硝化微生物的调控效应还不甚明确.为此,本研究采用小区试验,通过在双季稻田添加不同量的小麦秸秆生物质炭(0、24和48 t·hm-2,分别用CK、LC和HC代表),结合实时荧光定量PCR(q PCR)和末端限制性片段长度多态性(T-RFLP)分析技术,研究了生物质炭添加对双季稻田休闲季和水稻季土壤反硝化微生物相关功能基因(调控硝酸还原酶的nar G基因,亚硝酸还原酶的nir K基因和氧化亚氮还原酶的nos Z基因)的影响.由于生物质炭呈碱性,添加到土壤后,可提高稻田休闲季土壤p H 0. 2～0. 8个单位.生物质炭本身含有部分可溶性N,因此,添加生物质炭可增加休闲季土壤铵态氮(NH_4~+-N)和硝态氮(NO_3~--N)含量,增幅分别达21. 1%～32. 5%和63. 0%～176. 0%,但由于其吸附作用,降低了水稻季NH_4~+-N含量48. 8%～60. 1%.生物质炭添加增加了休闲季微生物生物量氮(MBN)含量,这可能是由于生物质炭较大的比表面积为微生物生存提供了适宜的环境,可利用养分的增加促进了微生物的生长.与对照相比,休闲季生物质炭引起的NH_4~+-N和NO_3~--N含量增加,促进NH_4~+-N向NO_3~--N的转化,进而增加nar G和nos Z的基因丰度(P0. 05),同时,生物质炭处理p H的提高促进了nos Z的基因丰度的增加,显著改变了反硝化功能基因nar G和nos Z的群落结构,并以此对反硝化作用产生影响,但未对休闲季氧化亚氮(N_2O)排放产生影响.而在水稻季,生物质炭增加了土壤nos Z的基因丰度(P 0. 05),HC处理增加了nir K基因丰度(P 0. 05),这也是导致水稻季HC处理N_2O排放增加的重要原因.生物质炭通过降低水稻季土壤NH_4~+-N含量,改变了nir K和nos Z基因的群落结构,而nar G基因群落结构的变化影响了土壤N_2O排放.综上所述,生物质炭可通过改变双季稻田土壤性质,来影响参与土壤反硝化作用的相关微生物,进而影响土壤N_2O排放及NO_3~--N的淋失.     

Effects and mechanism of freeze-thawing cycles on the soil N2O fluxes in the temperate semi-arid steppe

High nitrous oxide(N2O) emissions during freeze-thawing period(FTP) have been observed in many different ecosystems. However, the knowledge about the dynamic of soil N_2O emissions and its main driving mechanism during the freeze-thawing processes in grassland ecosystem is still limited. An in-situ experiment was conducted during the FTP on the sites with 0 and 15% surplus of the average rainfall and two levels of N addition(0,10 g N/(m~2·year)) during growing season(marked as W0N0, W15N0, W0N10, W15N10, respectively) to explore the effects of water and N background on soil N_2O emissions during FTPs and the relationship between soil N_2O emissions and environmental factors. The results indicated that water and N treatments conducted during growing season did not show significant effect on the N_2O effluxes of FTP, but the soil mineral N contents of W0N10 treatment were significantly higher than those of W0N0, W15N0, W15N10treatments(p 0.05). The soil PLFA concentrations of microbial groups monitored during 2015 spring freeze-thawing period(2015S-FTP) were lower than those during winter freeze-thawing period of 2014(2014W-FTP), while cumulative soil N_2O emissions of 2015S-FTP were higher than those of 2014W-FTP. The correlations between soil N_2O effluxes and most of the measured environmental factors were insignificant, multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that the soil temperature, soil NH_4~+-N content and air temperature were the major environmental factors which significantly influenced the N_2O effluxes during 2014W-FTP, and air temperature and soil water content were the significant influencing factors during 2015S-FTP.     

农田土壤施用系列新型氮肥后气态氮(NH3和N2O)减排效果比较:以夏玉米季为例

为了解不同品种新型氮肥相对常规施肥其氨(NH3)和氧化亚氮(N_2O)的减排效果,本文通过田间原位试验同步研究了夏玉米生长季氮肥施用后的农田NH_3挥发和N_2O排放及其主要驱动因子.以常规施肥(复合肥+尿素,CK)为对照,设置了5个肥料处理,分别为脲铵氮肥(UA)、稳定性复合肥料(UHD)、硫包衣氮肥(SCU)、脲甲醛复合肥(UF)和有机肥(OF),施氮量(以N计)均为300 kg·hm~(-2).相关分析结果表明,氨挥发和N_2O排放受环境因子影响,均与土壤WFPS呈显著负相关(P0.05),N_2O排放还与土壤硝态氮呈极显著正相关(P0.01).进一步回归分析表明,N_2O排放(F_(N_2O))主要取决于土壤硝态氮(x)含量的变化,而氨挥发(F_(NH_3))主要取决于土壤铵态氮(x)含量的变化.与CK相比,除了UA,其它肥料处理都降低了土壤的氨挥发,尤其是UF和OF处理减少了37%~43%.但对于N_2O排放,所有处理与CK皆无显著差异.进一步计算每种处理氨挥发和N_2O的气态氮损失总量,与CK相比,UHD、SCU、UF和OF分别减排了9%、5%、30%和23%,而UA增加了3%.     

秸秆还田配施生物炭对关中平原夏玉米产量和土壤N2O排放的影响

为探明秸秆还田配施生物炭对夏玉米产量和土壤氧化亚氮（N₂O）排放的影响,基于2019~2020年关中平原田间定位试验,利用静态暗箱-气相色谱法监测了土壤N₂O排放通量,综合分析夏玉米产量、土壤N₂O排放和土壤活性氮组分,明确了秸秆还田配施生物炭在培肥土壤、增产减排方面的效应.以秸秆不还田（S₀）为对照,设置秸秆还田（S）和秸秆还田配施生物炭（SB）共3个处理.结果表明,各处理N₂O排放峰值出现在秸秆还田后10 d,秸秆还田30 d后土壤N₂O排放通量处于较低水平,土壤N₂O排放通量与铵态氮（NH₄⁺-N）、无机氮、微生物量氮（MBN）和可溶性有机氮（DON）含量呈显著的正相关关系（P<0.05）.S较S₀显著增加夏玉米产量、N₂O累积排放量、单位产量N₂O累积排放量和土壤总氮（TN）含量,分别为7.4%~13%、65.8%~132.2%、54.6%~103%和27.8%~33%.虽然SB较S提高夏玉米产量（2.5%~3.3%）的趋势不显著（P>0.05）,但是SB较S显著降低N₂O累积排放量和单位产量N₂O累积排放量,分别为24.0%~27.3%和26.4%~29.2%.在土壤N₂O排放通量达到峰值时,SB较S显著降低土壤N₂O排放通量45.1%~69.6%,生物炭能够缓解秸秆还田所诱发的土壤N₂O排放,具有削峰的作用.SB较S显著增加土壤总氮9.1%~12.2%.综合作物产量、N₂O排放和土壤总氮,对夏玉米生产而言,秸秆还田配施生物炭不仅培肥地力,提高夏玉米产量,而且减少单位产量N₂O累积排放量,是可供推广的兼顾作物产量和环境友好的适宜管理措施.     

不同生态系统土壤生化特征及其与土壤呼吸和N2O排放的关系

通过室内培养实验,研究了不同生态系统土壤生化特征及其对土壤呼吸和N2O排放的影响.结果表明,不同生态系统土壤的生化特征不同,土壤呼吸和N2O排放也不相同.一般果园细菌数量最多,草地放线菌数量最多,林地真菌数量最多,而竹园细菌放线菌数量最少,果园真菌最少;微生物碳氮含量一般果园>林地>农田.相关分析表明细菌数量与微生物碳氮呈显著正相关,放线菌数量与土壤有机碳和全氮含量呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),而真菌数量仅与全氮含量呈显著正相关(P<0.05).土壤呼吸累积排放量从高到低为果园>竹林>农田>林地>草地.N2O累积排放量为农田>果园>草地>林地>竹林.土壤呼吸与细菌、微生物碳氮呈显著正相关(P<0.05);土壤的N2O排放与三大微生物、铵态氮呈显著正相关(P<0.05).逐步回归分析表明土壤呼吸主要取决于土壤细菌数量和pH的变化;土壤N2O排放主要取决于土壤细菌数量和铵态氮含量的变化.     

盐度水平对不同盐渍化程度土壤氧化亚氮排放的影响

选取内蒙古河套灌区3种不同盐渍化程度土壤(盐土、重度盐渍化土壤和轻度盐渍化土壤),采用室内培养方法,用不同浓度KCl溶液调节不同盐渍化程度土壤盐含量分别为原土壤盐含量(对照)的2倍和3倍,研究盐分对不同盐渍化程度土壤氧化亚氮(N_2O)排放的影响.结果表明,盐分含量显著影响不同盐渍化程度土壤N_2O排放.无外源盐分加入时,不同盐碱程度土壤中盐土N_2O排放量最高,重度盐渍化土壤次之,轻度盐渍化土壤最低.外源盐加入后,随盐度梯度升高,与其对照相比,盐土N_2O排放量降低;重度盐渍化土壤N_2O排放量呈现先增加后降低趋势;轻度盐渍化土壤N_2O排放量升高.与其对照相比,土壤的盐分含量增加2倍时,盐土N_2O排放量减少90%;轻度盐渍化土壤N_2O排放量增加9倍.外源盐加入不同盐渍化程度土壤对N_2O排放的影响程度取决于土壤培养前后铵态氮含量差值,加入外源盐后,N_2O累积排放变化量的94.6%由土壤NH_4~+-N含量差值解释(R2=0.95,p0.01).     

内蒙古农牧交错带土地利用变化对作物生长季N_2O排放量的影响

在内蒙古农牧交错带,选择4个邻近、不同开垦年限(5、10和50 a)的农田,分别记为C5、C10和C50,以及天然草地作为研究样地;利用静态箱法,在2008—2010年作物生长季(4—10月)进行野外原位试验,研究了土地利用变化对N2O排放量的影响.结果表明:草地与C5、C10、C50农田土壤的N2O排放量在2008—2010年作物生长季均存在显著差异,F分别为53.8、17.3和153.0(P均小于0.001),草地N2O排放量分别为87.6、91.8和211.0 mg/m2.在2008—2010年作物生长季,C5和C10农田土壤N2O排放量比草地低10%~50%;随着开垦年限的增加,N2O累积排放量增加,C50在作物生长季的N2O排放量比草地高10%~30%.草地和不同开垦年限的农田土壤在作物生长季内N2O排放量的58.1%受土壤w(NH4+-N)和含水量的综合影响(R2=0.58,P0.01).     

有机无机肥配施对不同程度盐渍土N2O排放的影响

选取内蒙古河套灌区轻度盐渍土S_1(EC为0.46 dS·m~(-1))及中度盐渍土S_2(EC为1.07 dS·m~(-1))为研究对象,在等施氮量条件下,采用静态箱-气相色谱法研究了不同有机无机肥配施比例:CK(不施肥)、U_1(240 kg·hm~(-2)化肥)、U_3O_1(180 kg·hm~(-2)化肥+60 kg·hm~(-2)有机肥)、U_1O_1(120 kg·hm~(-2)化肥+120 kg·hm~(-2)有机肥)、U_1O_3(60 kg·hm~(-2)化肥+180 kg·hm~(-2)有机肥)和O_1(240 kg·hm~(-2)有机肥)对春玉米农田土壤N_2O排放的影响,旨在明确不同施肥策略下土壤N_2O排放特征,为制定盐渍化农田合理的减排措施提供理论依据.结果表明, 2种不同程度盐渍化土壤N_2O排放存在显著差异,同一处理S_2土壤N_2O排放总量较S_1土壤高出11.86%～47.23%(P0.05).各施肥处理对土壤N_2O排放通量影响趋势基本一致,即施肥后出现排放高峰,基肥和追肥后累积排放量占整个生育期排放量60%左右.适当施入有机肥可以显著降低土壤N_2O排放,S_1和S_2盐渍土分别以U_1O_1及O_1处理N_2O排放量最小,较U_1处理显著降低33.62%和28.51%(P0.05),同时可以获得较高的玉米产量.各施肥处理N_2O排放通量与土壤NH~+_4-N呈极显著正相关关系(P0.01),而与土壤NO~-_3-N含量呈负相关关系,表明硝化作用是盐渍化玉米农田N_2O产生的主要途径,配施有机肥可以持续减少土壤NH~+_4-N供给而减少N_2O的排放.从玉米产量及减少温室效应的角度,得到本地区适宜的施肥管理模式:轻度盐渍土为120 kg·hm~(-2)有机肥+120 kg·hm~(-2)化肥,中度盐渍土为240 kg·hm~(-2)有机肥.     

生物炭对塿土土壤温室气体及土壤理化性质的影响

通过田间小区试验,分别向塿土土壤中添加0、20、40、60、80 t·hm~(-2)的苹果果树枝条生物炭后,分析了生物炭对土壤温度、土壤团聚体、NO_3~--N、NH_4~+-N、微生物量碳以及土壤温室气体排放的影响.结果表明,生物炭可以缓解土壤温度的变化,增加土壤大团聚体的数量,尤其是5 mm、5~2 mm和1~0.5 mm的团聚体数量.与对照相比,随着生物炭施用量的增加,土壤NO_3~--N、NH_4~+-N、微生物量碳分别增加了4.9%~33.9%、9.1%~41.1%和11.8%~38.5%.本研究中生物炭对土壤温室气排放的影响主要表现为:添加生物炭后,土壤CO_2的排放量以及CH_4的吸收汇分别增加了6.73%~23.35%和3.62%~14.17%;施用20 t·hm~(-2)和40 t·hm~(-2)的生物炭降低了土壤N_2O的排放和综合增温潜势(GWP),而当生物炭施用量大于等于60 t·hm~(-2)时反而增加了土壤N_2O的排放和综合增温潜势(GWP).说明生物炭作为一种土壤改良剂和碳减排剂,能够改善土壤质量,提高土壤肥力,提高农田土壤增汇减排的作用,此外,选择合适的生物炭施用量至关重要.     

负载NH4+-N生物炭对土壤N2O-N排放和NH3-N挥发的影响

利用生物炭吸附面源污染水体NH₄⁺-N并将其进行还田可实现此氮资源由水体到农田的安全有效迁移,而探索负载NH₄⁺-N生物炭对N₂O-N排放和NH₃-N挥发的影响则对于减施化肥和降低土壤氮素损失意义重大.本研究采用土柱试验,设置4个处理：对照（不施氮肥,CK）、单施化肥（NPK）、负载氮+化学磷钾肥（N-BC+PK）和生物炭+化肥（BC+NPK）.结果表明,相较NPK和BC+NPK处理,N-BC+PK处理N₂O-N累积排放量、NH₃-N累积挥发量、气态氮素累积损失量（以N计）分别显著降低了33.62%和24.64%、70.64%和79.29%、64.97%和73.75%（P<0.05）.特别需要说明的是,BC+NPK处理相比NPK处理显著增加了NH₃-N累积挥发量（P<0.05）.综上所述,负载NH₄⁺-N生物炭可显著减少N₂O-N排放和NH₃-N挥发,且其减排效果显著优于传统的生物炭化肥配施.本研究结果将为富营养化水体NH₄⁺-N农田回用和土壤气态氮素减排提供理论依据和数据支持.     

氮肥和秸秆还田方式对麦玉轮作土壤N2O排放的影响

为探究氮肥和秸秆还田方式对N₂O排放的影响,本研究在关中地区冬小麦-夏玉米轮作模式下,采用双因素裂区设计,主区为常规施氮（G）和减量施氮（70% G）;副区为秸秆不还田（N）、秸秆还田（S）和秸秆还田+生物炭（SB）,分析对N₂O排放和产量的影响及与相关影响因子间的关系.结果表明,小麦季和玉米季各处理在施肥后第5~16d内相继出现N₂O排放高峰,在降雨后也出现N₂O排放峰值.N₂O通量和土壤温度、NH₄⁺-N含量呈显著正相关.在同等施氮水平下,S处理增加了N₂O排放量,SB处理可降低N₂O排放量,S和SB处理均能显著增加作物产量,且SB增产幅度更大;70% G水平的N₂O年排放量较G水平减少了40%~48%,而产量并没有明显减少.综合考虑,在常规施氮基础上减氮30%配合秸秆+生物炭,在保证作物高产的同时,N₂O减排效果最好.     

Emissions of N2O and NH3, and nitrogen leaching from direct seeded rice under different tillage practices in central China

Tillage practices affect the fate of fertilizer nitrogen (N) through influencing transformations of N, but few studies have examined N₂O and NH₃ emissions, and N leaching from different rice tillage systems. Thus the objective of this study was to assess N₂O emission, NH₃ volatilization and N leaching from direct seeded rice in conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT) production systems in the subtropical region of China during the 2008 and 2009 rice growing seasons. Treatments were established following a split-plot design of a randomized complete block with tillage practices as the main plot and N fertilizer level as the sub-plot treatment, and there were four treatments: NT + no fertilizer (NT0), CT + no fertilizer (CT0), NT + compound fertilizer (NTC) and CT + compound fertilizer (CTC), respectively. Results showed that N fertilization significantly increased (p < 0.01) N₂O emissions, NH₃ volatilization and N leaching from rice fields in both years. In general, there was no significant difference in N₂O emissions and NH₃ volatilization between NT0 and CT0 in both years, while NTC had significantly higher (p < 0.05) N₂O emissions and NH₃ volatilization compared to CTC. Over the two rice growing seasons, NTC showed 32% and 47% higher N₂O emissions, and 29% and 52% higher NH₃ losses than CTC. Higher (p < 0.05) N₂O emissions from NTC than CTC were presumably due to higher soil organic C and greater denitrification. Total N and NO₃^? concentrations were higher (p < 0.05) in CTC than NTC, but larger volumes of percolation water in NTC than CTC resulted in no significant difference in leakage of total N and NO₃^?. Hence, application of N fertilizer in combination with NT appeared to be ineffective in reducing N losses from N fertilizer in paddy fields.     

水肥气耦合对温室番茄地土壤N2O排放及番茄产量的影响

为揭示水肥气耦合对温室番茄地土壤N_2O排放的影响,提出适宜的温室番茄增产减排措施,采用静态暗箱-气相色谱法监测土壤N_2O的排放,分析水肥气耦合条件下土壤温度、灌溉水利用效率(WFPS)、NO~-_3-N、O_2含量的变化规律以及N_2O排放的影响机制.加气条件下设两个灌水水平0.6 W和1.0 W(分别代表亏缺40%灌溉和充分灌溉,W代表充分灌水时的灌水量)和3个施氮水平(120、 180和240 kg·hm~(-2),分别代表低、中和高氮,以50%F、 75%F和F表示,其中F为当地推荐施氮量),以不加气充分灌溉(O为加气灌溉,CK为常规滴灌)条件下3种施肥水平为对照,共9个处理.结果表明,充分灌溉(W2F1O、W2F2O和W2F3O)的N_2O累积排放量较亏缺灌溉(W1F1O、W1F2O和W1F3O)处理平均增加了55.7%(P0.05);高氮条件下(W1F3O、W2F3O和W2F3CK)土壤N_2O排放较中氮和低氮平均增大13.4%和43.8%(P0.05),充分灌溉条件下加气处理(W2F1O、W2F2O和W2F3O)较相应不加气处理(W2F1CK、W2F2CK和W2F3CK)N_2O排放平均增加11.2%(P0.05).加气、施氮量和灌水量的增加可增加番茄产量和单产N_2O排放量.高氮处理番茄产量和单产N_2O排放量较中氮处理分别增加了12.5%(P0.05)和3.9%(P0.05),高氮处理番茄产量和单产N_2O排放量较低氮处理显著增加了30.4%和9.6%(P0.05),加气充分灌溉较加气亏缺灌溉处理番茄产量和单产N_2O排放量分别显著增加了29.7%和18.7%(P0.05),加气处理(W2F1O、W2F2O和W2F3O)较不加气处理产量(W2F1CK、W2F2CK和W2F3CK)平均增加了10.4%(P0.05),单产N_2O排放量增加但不显著.灌水量增加、施肥量降低、加气均可显著增大肥料偏生产力,减小灌溉水分利用效率(IWUE).综合考虑N_2O累积排放量、作物产量、氮肥利用效率、IWUE和单产N_2O排放量,得出加气低氮充分灌溉为较优的管理模式.本研究结果为温室番茄的增产减排提供了一定的参考.     

Effects of plant diversity on greenhouse gas emissions in microcosms simulating vertical constructed wetlands with high ammonium loading

Wastewater with relatively high nitrogen concentrations is a major source of nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄) emissions and exerts multiple stresses on the environment. Studies have shown that plant diversity plays an important role in ecosystem functioning. However, the effects of plant species diversity on CH₄ and N₂O emissions under high ammonium (NH₄⁺-N) loading rates remain unclear. In this study, a microcosm experiment simulating vertical constructed wetlands supplied with high NH₄⁺-N water levels was established. The treatments included four species richness levels (1, 2, 3, 4) and 15 species compositions. There was no significant relationship between species richness and N₂O emissions. However, N₂O emissions were significantly reduced by specific plant species composition. Notably, the communities with the presence of Rumex japonicus L. reduced N₂O emissions by 62% compared to communities without this species. This reduction in N₂O emissions may have been a result of decreased N concentrations and increased plant biomass. CH₄ emissions did not respond to plant species richness or species identity. Overall, plant species identity surpassed species richness in lowering N₂O emissions from constructed wetlands with high NH₄⁺-N water. The results also suggest that communities with R. japonicus could achieve higher N removal and lower greenhouse gas emissions than other wetland species.     

不同施肥方式下紫色土N2O与NOx的排放特征

利用紫色土长期施肥试验平台,采用静态箱-气相色谱法开展紫色土"冬小麦-夏玉米"轮作系统N_2O和NO_x排放的连续两周年(2014年11月~2016年9月)定位观测.研究了氮肥总量相同条件下的常规氮磷钾化肥(NPK)、猪厩肥(OM)、秸秆还田配施氮磷钾化肥(RSDNPK)、猪厩肥配施氮磷钾化肥(OMNPK)和氮磷钾化肥配合硝化抑制剂(DCDNPK)等施肥方式对N_2O和NO_x排放的影响,短期不施肥处理(CK)作为排放系数计算的对照.结果表明,所有施肥方式下紫色土N_2O排放峰均出现在施肥初期和大降雨过程期;NO_x排放过程与N_2O类似,排放峰出现在施肥初期,但强降雨期未出现明显排放峰.NPK、OM、RSDNPK、OMNPK和DCDNPK处理的N_2O年均累积排放量分别为:1.35、4.38、1.43、2.46、0.92 kg·hm~(-2),排放系数分别为:0.33%、1.41%、0.36%、0.73%、0.18%;相应处理的NO_x年均累积排放量分别为:0.11、0.38、0.10、0.27、0.04kg·hm~(-2),排放系数分别为:0.03%、0.13%、0.03%、0.09%、0.01%.较常规化肥,增加有机物料如施用猪厩肥和猪厩肥配施氮磷钾肥分别显著增加226%和83%的N_2O排放(P0.01),同时NO_x排放分别显著增加262%和157%(P0.01);常规化肥配合硝化抑制剂(DCDNPK)使用减少32%的N_2O排放和62%的NO_x排放(P0.01),秸秆还田配施氮磷钾肥对N_2O排放略有增加(P0.05),NO_x排放略有减少(P0.05).统计分析进一步表明,土壤无机氮含量是N_2O和NO_x二者排放的主控因子,而土壤孔隙充水率与温度分别作为N_2O与NO_x各自排放的主控因子之一.
