免耕和秸秆覆盖对农田土壤温室气体排放的影响

农业土壤是重要的温室气体排放源,各种农业措施对温室气体排放产生重要的影响。免耕和秸秆覆盖作为两种重要的保护性耕作措施正在被越来越广泛的应用,但是其对土壤温室气体排放的影响还不明确,结果存在分歧。通过对免耕和秸秆覆盖措施下农田三种主要的温室气体（CO2、CH4和N2O）排放的相关研究进行对比分析,探讨两种保护性农业措施对温室气体排放的影响。研究表明,免耕减少土壤干扰,增加团聚体的稳定性,有利于难分解碳的形成,减少土壤CO2排放;与常规耕作相比,免耕有利于CH4氧化,增强甲烷氧化菌活性,降低CH4排放;免耕对N2O排放的影响与气候类型和土壤性质有密切的相关关系,在干燥的气候条件下,免耕增加通气条件差的土壤的N2O排放,对通气好的土壤影响不大。而在湿润的气候条件下,不同的土壤性质结论不一致。秸秆覆盖增加土壤CO2排放,并随着秸秆覆盖量的增加而增大;秸秆覆盖对CH4排放的影响有很大的不确定性,与覆盖方式和覆盖秸秆性质有密切联系;大部分研究认为秸秆覆盖增加N2O排放,但也有研究认为秸秆覆盖对N2O排放无影响或降低N2O排放量,秸秆覆盖对N2O排放机理复杂,需要进一步研究。通过综述发现随着保护性农业措施的推广,大量的研究集中在其对作物产量、土壤水分利用率、土壤性质等方面的研究;而保护性农业措施对温室气体排放的研究相对较少,特别是对三种温室气体的综合影响研究并不多见。因此,需结合不同土地类型,开展不同气候类型下免耕和秸秆覆盖对三种主要温室气体排放影响的综合研究,预测增温潜势,为不同气候带保护性农业措施下温室气体排放提供基础数据,并为制定合理的耕作和秸秆覆盖措施提供理论支持。运用同位素示踪等新技术明确秸秆覆盖对温室气体排放的直接和间接贡献率,结合不同研究区?     

Cost-effectiveness of tillage methods to reduce phosphorus loss from agricultural land

In this paper, we estimate the cost-effectiveness of tillage methods as a measure to reduce phosphorus loss. The study was based on real-world information on costs. Data on phosphorus loss for different soil tillage methods were modelled. The cost-effectiveness of various soil tillage methods were related to autumn ploughing. The results showed large variation in cost-effectiveness related to erosion risk. Furthermore, spring harrowing was the most cost-effective method to reduce phosphorus loss, followed by autumn harrowing and spring ploughing in spring cereals. Implementation of changed tillage methods showed lower costs for spring cereals compared to winter wheat. The differences in costs between areas were most evident for spring tillage due to differences in yields and agronomic management. Cost-effectiveness is an important criterion in selecting mitigation methods, but due to large variations in the effect of changed tillage, these should be locally adapted to the high risk areas of erosion.     

PHOSPHORUS LOSSES FROM CROPLAND AS AFFECTED BY TILLAGE SYSTEM AND FERTILIZER APPLICATION METHOD1

ABSTRACT: A rainfall simulator was used to study the effectiveness of no-till and fertilizer application method on reducing phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural lands. Simulated rainfall was applied to 12 experimental field plots, each 0.01 ha in size. The plots were divided into no-till and conventional tillage systems. Two fertilizer application methods, subsurface injection and surface application, were investigated for the two tillage systems. Phosphorus fertilizer was applied at a rate of 46 kg/ha, 24 to 48 hours before the start of rain simulation. Water samples were collected from the base of each plot and analyzed for sediment and P content. No-till was found to be very effective in reducing runoff and sediment losses. No-till reduced sediment loss and total runoff volume by 92 and 67 percent, respectively. Subsurface injection of fertilizer, as compared to surface application, reduced PO₄ losses by 39 percent for no-till and by 35 percent for conventional tillage. The effect of tillage system on PO₄ losses was not significant. Reductions in total-P (P_T) losses due to no-till compared to the conventional tillage system were 89 and 91 percent for surface application and subsurface injection methods, respectively. Averaged across all fertilizer treatments, an equivalent of 0.9 and 8.9 percent of the P applied to the plots were lost from the no-till and conventional tillage plots, respectively.     

免耕覆盖对土壤微生物量碳的影响

通过设置在甘肃省定西县李家堡镇甘肃农业大学旱农实验站的用间定位试验,研究连续3年春小麦(Triticum aestivum)-豌豆(Pisum sativum Linn.)双序列轮作后6种不同处理土壤微生物量碳的变化情况,结果表明:免耕条件下表土层土壤微生物量碳总是显著地高于翻耕土壤;秸秆覆盖表土层和亚表层土壤微生物量碳明显高于不覆盖;不同处理对表土层和亚表层土壤微生物量碳的影响差异达极显著;表土层土壤微生物量碳有明显的季节动态变化;土壤微生物量碳随土层加深而递减.
