Laboratory incubation experiments were conducted to compare the effects of the nitrification inhibitors 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) and 2-Chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)-pyridine (N-serve) on nitrification and nitrous oxide (N 2O) emission from a Vertosol from southern Australia, under controlled moisture and temperature. Nitrification rates in the control soil were strongly influenced by the temperature and moisture, increasing by a factor of 3.6 for each 10 °C increase between 5 and 25 °C. DMPP inhibited nitrification effectively for 42 days at 5-15 °C and 40-60% water filled pore space (WFPS). DMPP also slowed nitrification appreciably at 25 °C when the soil was at 40% WFPS, but was less effective at 60% water filled pore space. N-serve inhibited nitrification effectively for 42 days under all test conditions. Emissions of N 2O from the urea treatment (no inhibitors) significantly increased with increasing temperature and moisture. The ratio of total N 2O emission to total nitrification was not constant and varied from around 0.03% at 5 °C and 40% WFPS to 0.12% at 25 °C and 60% WFPS. DMPP and N-serve reduced cumulative N 2O emission over 42 days by more than 65% under all the imposed conditions. 相似文献

The effect of the combined application of urease and nitrification inhibitors on ammonia volatilization and the abundance of nitrifier and denitrifier communities is largely unknown. Here, in a mesocosm experiment, ammonia volatilization was monitored in an agricultural soil treated with urea and either or both of the urease inhibitor N‐(n‐butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and the nitrification inhibitor 3,4‐dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), with 50% and 80% water‐filled pore space (WFPS). The effect of the treatments on the abundance of bacteria and archaea was estimated by quantitative PCR (qPCR) amplification of their respective 16S rRNA gene, that of nitrifiers using amoA genes, and that of denitrifiers by qPCR of the norB and nosZI denitrification genes. After application of urea, N losses due to NH 3 volatilization accounted for 23.0% and 9.2% at 50% and 80% WFPS, respectively. NBPT reduced NH 3 volatilization to 2.0% and 2.4%, whereas DMPP increased N losses by up to 36.8% and 26.0% at 50% and 80% WFPS, respectively. The combined application of NBPT and DMPP also increased NH 3 emissions, albeit to a lesser extent than DMPP alone. As compared with unfertilized control soil, both at 50% and 80% WFPS, NBPT strongly affected the abundance of bacteria and archaea, but not that of nitrifiers, and decreased that of denitrifiers at 80% WFPS. Regardless of moisture conditions, treatment with DMPP increased the abundance of denitrifiers. DMPP, both in single and in combined application with NBPT, increased the abundance of nitrification and denitrification genes. 相似文献

Abstract. Intensively managed grasslands are potentially a large source of N 2O in the North Coast of Spain because of the large N input, the wet soil conditions and mild temperatures. To quantify the effect of fertilizer type and management practices carried out by farmers in this area, field N 2O losses were measured over a year using the closed chamber technique. Plots received two types of fertilizer: cattle slurry (536 kg N ha –1) and calcium ammonium nitrate (140 kg N ha –1). N 2O losses were less in the slurry treatment than after mineral fertilizer. This was probably due to high, short‐lived peaks of N 2O encountered immediately following mineral N addition. In contrast, the seasonal distribution of N 2O losses from the slurry amended plot was more uniform over the year. The greater N 2O losses in the mineral treatment might have been enhanced by the combined effect of mineral fertilizer and past organic residues present from previous organic amendments. Weak relationships were found between N 2O emission rates and soil nitrate, soil ammonium, soil water content and temperature. Better relationships were obtained in the mineral treatment than in the slurry plots, because of the wider range in soil mineral N. Water filled pore space (WFPS) was a key factor controlling N 2O emissions. In the > 90% WFPS range no relationships were found. The best regressions were found for the mineral treatment in the 40–65% WFPS range, 49% of the variance being explained by soil nitrate and ammonium content. In the 65–90% WFPS range, 43% of the variance was explained by nitrate only, but the inclusion of soil ammonium did not improve the model as it did in the 40–65% WFPS range. This fact indicates that nitrification is likely to be an important process involved in N 2O emissions at the 40–65% WFPS. 相似文献

Freezing and thawing influence many physical, chemical and biological processes in soils, including the production of trace gases. We studied the effects of freezing and thawing on three soils, one sandy, one silty and one loamy, on the emissions of N 2O and CO 2. We also studied the effect of varying the water content, expressed as the percentage of the water‐filled pore space (WFPS). Emissions of N 2O during thawing decreased in the order 64% > 55% > 42% WFPS, which suggests that the retardation of the denitrification was more pronounced than the acceleration of the nitrification with increasing oxygen concentration in the soil. However, emissions of N 2O at 76% WFPS were less than at 55% WFPS, which might be caused by an increased ratio of N 2/N 2O in the very moist conditions. The emission of CO 2 was related to the soil water, with the smallest emissions at 76% WFPS and largest at 42% WFPS. The emissions of CO 2 during thawing exceeded the initial CO 2 emissions before the soils were frozen, which suggests that the supply of nutrients was increased by freezing. Differences in soil texture had no marked effect on the N 2O emissions during thawing. The duration of freezing, however, did affect the emissions from all three soils. Freezing the soil for less than 1 day had negligible effects, but freezing for longer caused concomitant increases in emissions. Evidently the duration of freezing and soil water content have important effects on the emission of N 2O, whereas the effects of texture in the range we studied were small. 相似文献

We used the inhibitor acetylene (C 2H 2) at partial pressures of 10 Pa and 10 kPa to inhibit autotrophic nitrification and the reduction of nitrous oxide (N 2O) to N 2, respectively. Soils (Andosol) from a Coffea arabica plantation shaded by Inga densiflora in Costa Rica were adjusted to 39, 58, 76 and 87% water-filled pore space (WFPS) and incubated for 6 days in the absence
or presence of C 2H 2. Soil respiration, nitrification rates and N 2O emissions by both processes were measured in relation to soil moisture conditions. At all WFPS studied, rates of N 2O and N 2 productions were small (4.8; 14.7; 23 and 239.6 ng N–N 2O g −1 d.w. d −1 at 39, 58, 76 and 87% WFPS, respectively), and despite a low soil pH (4.7), N 2O was mainly produced by nitrification, which was responsible for 85, 91, 84 and 87% of the total N 2O emissions at 39, 58, 76 and 87% WFPS, respectively. At the three smaller values of WFPS, a linear relationship was established
between WFPS, soil respiration, nitrification and N 2O released by nitrification; no N 2 was produced by denitrification. At more anaerobic conditions achieved by a WFPS of 87%, a large rate of N 2O production was measured during nitrification, and N 2 production accounted for 84% of the gaseous N fluxes caused by denitrification. 相似文献

PurposeNitrification and denitrification in the N cycle are affected by various ammonia oxidizers and denitrifying microbes in intensive vegetable cultivation soils, but our current understanding of the effect these microbes have on N2O emissions is limited. The nitrification inhibitor, 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), acts by slowing nitrification and is used to improve fertilizer use efficiency and reduce N losses from agricultural systems; however, its effects on nitrifier and denitrifier activities in intensive vegetable cultivation soils are unknown. Materials and methodsIn this study, we measured the impacts of DMPP on N2O emissions, ammonia oxidizers, and denitrifying microbes in two intensive vegetable cultivation soils: one that had been cultivated for a short term (1 year) and one that had been cultivated over a longer term (29 years). The quantitative PCR technique was used in this study. Three treatments, including control (no fertilizer), urea alone, and urea with DMPP, were included for each soil. The application rates of urea and DMPP were 1800 kg ha?1 and 0.5% of the urea-N application rate. Results and discussionThe application of N significantly increased N2O emissions in both soils. The abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) increased significantly with high rate of N fertilizer application in both soils. Conversely, there was no change in the growth rate of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) in response to the applied urea despite the presence of larger numbers of AOA in these soils. This suggests AOB may play a greater role than AOA in the nitrification process, and N2O emission in intensive vegetable cultivation soils. The application of DMPP significantly reduced soil NO3?-N content and N2O emission, and delayed ammonia oxidation. It greatly reduced AOB abundance, but not AOA abundance. Moreover, the presence of DMPP was correlated with a significant decrease in the abundance of nitrite reductase (nirS and nirK) genes. ConclusionsLong-term intensive vegetable cultivation with heavy N fertilization altered AOB and nirS abundance. In vegetable cultivation soils with high N levels, DMPP can be effective in mitigating N2O emissions by directly inhibiting both ammonia oxidizing and denitrifying microbes. 相似文献

Spatial variability in carbon dioxide (CO 2), nitrous oxide (N 2O) and methane (CH 4) emissions from soil is related to the distribution of microsites where these gases are produced. Porous soil aggregates may possess aerobic and anaerobic microsites, depending on the water content of pores. The purpose of this study was to determine how production of CO 2, N 2O and CH 4 was affected by aggregate size and soil water content. An air-dry sandy loam soil was sieved to generate three aggregate fractions (<0.25 mm, 0.25–2 mm and 2–6 mm) and bulk soil (<2 mm). Aggregate fractions and bulk soil were moistened (60% water-filled pore space, WFPS) and pre-incubated to restore microbial activity, then gradually dried or moistened to 20%, 40%, 60% or 80% WFPS and incubated at 25 °C for 48 h. Soil respiration peaked at 40% WFPS, presumably because this was the optimum level for heterotrophic microorganisms, and at 80% WFPS, which corresponded to the peak N 2O production. More CO 2 was produced by microaggregates (<0.25 mm) than macroaggregate (>0.25 mm) fractions. Incubation of aggregate fractions and soil at 80% WFPS with acetylene (10 Pa and 10 kPa) and without acetylene showed that denitrification was responsible for 95% of N 2O production from microaggregates, while nitrification accounted for 97–99% of the N 2O produced by macroaggregates and bulk soil. This suggests that oxygen (O 2) diffusion into and around microaggregates was constrained, whereas macroaggregates remained aerobic at 80% WFPS. Methane consumption and production were measured in aggregates, reaching 1.1–6.4 ng CH 4–C kg −1 soil h −1 as aggregate fractions and soil became wetter. For the sandy-loam soil studied, we conclude that nitrification in aerobic microsites contributed importantly to total N 2O production, even when the soil water content permitted denitrification and CH 4 production in anaerobic microsites. The relevance of these findings to microbial processes controlling N 2O production at the field scale remains to be confirmed. 相似文献

如何降低氮肥施入农田后的N2O排放,实现氮肥增产效应的同时降低其对环境的负面影响是全球集约化农业生产中重要的科学问题,氮肥添加剂是有效途径之一。本研究采用室内静态培养法,在调节土壤水分含量和温度等环境因素的条件下,研究不同肥料添加剂对华北平原典型农田土壤N2O排放的影响及其机制。结果表明,N2O排放通量的峰值大约出现在施氮后的第24 d,肥料混施较肥料表施的出峰时间提前。与单施尿素处理相比,添加硝化抑制剂DMPP或DCD能分别降低N2O排放总量99.2%和97.1%; 添加硫酸铜对N2O排放的抑制作用不显著; 添加秸秆会增加N2O排放总量60.7%,而在添加秸秆的土壤中施加硝化抑制剂DMPP能够显著降低N2O排放量至无肥对照水平。说明华北平原农田土壤中N2O的产生主要是由硝化作用驱动,同时也可看出,添加硝化抑制剂是N2O减排的有效措施。 相似文献

The objectives of this work were to evaluate the inhibitory action on nitrification of 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP)
added to ammonium sulphate nitrate [(NH 4) 2SO 4 plus NH 4NO 3; ASN] in a Citrus-cultivated soil, and to study its effect on N uptake. In a greenhouse experiment, 2 g N as ASN either with or without 0.015 g
DMPP (1% DMPP relative to NH 4
+-N) was applied 6 times at 20-day intervals to plants grown in 14-l pots filled with soil. Addition of DMPP to ASN resulted
in higher levels of NH 4
+-N and lower levels of NO 3
–-N in the soil during the whole experimental period. The NO 3
–-N concentration in drainage water was lower in the ASN plus DMPP (ASN+DMPP)-treated pots. Also, DMPP supplementation resulted
in greater uptake of the fertilizer-N by citrus plants. In another experiment, 100 g N as ASN, either with or without 0.75 g
DMPP (1% DMPP relative to NH 4
+-N) was applied to 6-year-old citrus plants grown individually outdoors in containers. Concentrations of NH 4
+-N and NO 3
–-N at different soil depths and N distribution in the soil profile after consecutive flood irrigations were monitored. In
the ASN-amended soil, nitrification was faster, whereas the addition of the inhibitor led to the maintenance of relatively
high levels of NH 4
+-N and NO 3
–-N in soil for longer than when ASN was added alone. At the end of the experiment (120 days) 68.5% and 53.1% of the applied
N was leached below 0.60 m in the ASN and ASN+DMPP treatments, respectively. Also, leaf N levels were higher in plants fertilized
with ASN+DMPP. Collectively, these results indicate that the DMPP nitrification inhibitor improved N fertilizer efficiency
and reduced NO 3
– leaching losses by retaining the applied N in the ammoniacal form.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the treatment of slurry liquid fraction (LF) acidified to pH 5.5 (ALF) on nitrification and denitrification processes after soil application. The impact of such treatment was compared with that of untreated LF, LF treated with a nitrification inhibitor (3,4-Dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP)) (LF + DMPP). An incubation was conducted using the denitrification incubation system (DENIS/gas-flow-core technique) at a constant temperature of 20 °C and lasted for 32 days in order to follow nitrogen dynamics and gaseous emissions (N 2O, NO, CO 2) from soil. Inhibition of ammonium nitrification and nitrate accumulation was evident in both LF + DMPP and ALF at the top soil (0–3.75 cm) and those effects were stronger in the LF + DMPP. Denitrification was the main source of N 2O emissions from soils amended with treated and untreated LF. Compared to the untreated LF, the ALF significantly reduced the total N lost as N 2O from 0.10% to 0.05% of the applied N whereas the DMPP reduced the total N lost as N 2O from 0.10% to 0.07%. Relative to the untreated LF, the ALF reduced the total N lost as NO emissions from 0.03% to 0.02% of the applied N whereas DMPP addition led to a stronger decrease from 0.03% to 0.01%. Both, ALF and LF + DMPP had no impact on CO 2 emissions relative to the untreated LF. The ALF reduced CO 2 emissions by 19% relative to the LF + DMPP. Our results demonstrate that slurry acidification affect not only nitrification but also the denitrification process. This suggests that slurry acidification is a valid technique to minimize N emissions. 相似文献

Contradictory effects of simultaneous available organic C and N sources on nitrous oxide (N 2O), carbon dioxide (CO 2) and nitric oxide (NO) fluxes are reported in the literature. In order to clarify this controversy, laboratory experiments were conduced on two different soils, a semiarid arable soil from Spain (soil I, pH=7.5, 0.8%C) and a grassland soil from Scotland (soil II, pH=5.5, 4.1%C). Soils were incubated at two different moisture contents, at a water filled pore space (WFPS) of 90% and 40%. Ammonium sulphate, added at rates equivalent to 200 and 50 kg N ha ?1, stimulated N 2O and NO emissions in both soils. Under wet conditions (90% WFPS), at high and low rates of N additions, cumulative N 2O emissions increased by 250.7 and 8.1 ng N 2O–N g ?1 in comparison to the control, respectively, in soil I and by 472.2 and 2.1 ng N 2O–N g ?1, respectively, in soil II. NO emissions only significantly increased in soil I at the high N application rate with and without glucose addition and at both 40% and 90% WFPS. In both soils additions of glucose together with the high N application rate (200 kg N ha ?1) reduced cumulative N 2O and NO emissions by 94% and 55% in soil I, and by 46% and 66% in soil II, respectively. These differences can be explained by differences in soil properties, including pH, soil mineral N and total and dissolved organic carbon content. It is speculated that nitrifier denitrification was the main source of NO and N 2O in the C-poor Spanish soil, and coupled nitrification–denitrification in the C-rich Scottish soil. 相似文献

Large temporal variability of N 2O emissions complicates calculation of emission factors (EFs) needed for N 2O inventories. To contribute towards improving these inventories, a process-based, 3-dimensional mathematical model, ecosys, was used to model N 2O emissions from a canola crop. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis in ecosys that large temporal variability of N 2O is due to transition among alternative reduction reactions in nitrification/denitrification caused by small changes in soil water-filled pore space (WFPS) following a threshold response, which controls diffusivity ( Dg) and solubility of O 2. We simulated emissions at field scale, using a 20 × 20 matrix of 36 m × 36 m grid cells rendered in ArcGIS from a digital elevation model of the fertilized agricultural field. Modelled results were compared to measured N 2O fluxes using the flux-gradient technique from a micrometeorological tower equipped with a tunable diode laser, to assess temporal N 2O variability. Grid cell simulations were performed using original, earlier and later planting and fertilizer dates, to show the influence of changing precipitation and temperature on EFs. Fertilizer application (112 kg N ha ?1), precipitation and temperature were the main factors responsible for N 2O emissions. Ecosys represented the temporal variation of N 2O emissions measured at the tower by modelling significant emissions at WFPS > 60% which reduced the oxygen diffusivity, causing a rising need for alternative electron acceptors, thus greater N 2O production via nitrification/denitrification. Small changes in WFPS above a threshold value caused comparatively large changes in N 2O flux not directly predictable from soil temperature and WFPS. In ecosys, little N 2O production occurred at WFPS < 60% because the oxygen diffusivity was large enough to meet microbial demand. Coefficients of diurnal temporal variation in N 2O fluxes were high, ranging from 25–51% (modelled) and 24–63% (measured), during emission periods (0–0.8 mg N 2O–N m 2 h ?1). This variation was shown to rise strongly with temperature during nitrification of N fertilizer so that EFs were affected by timing of fertilizer application. EFs almost quadrupled when fertilizer applications were delayed (average: 1.67% (fertilizer-induced emissions), causing nitrification to occur in warmer soils (18 °C), compared to earlier applications (average: 0.45%) when nitrification occurred in cooler soils (12 °C). Large temporal variation caused biases in seasonal emissions if calculated from infrequent (daily and weekly) measurements. These results show the importance of the use of models that include climate impact on N 2O, with appropriate time-steps that capture its temporal variation. 相似文献

Nitrogen-use efficiency in arable agriculture after organic fertilization can be improved by the incorporation of digestate into soil and through the use of nitrification inhibitors. To test the efficiency and the interaction of these measures, a laboratory microcosm study was conducted with undisturbed samples from two arable soils – a Gleysol and a Plaggic Anthrosol. Treatments were digestate application by injection to 15 or 20 cm depths or by trailing hose with subsequent incorporation. Half of the replicates of each application treatment were treated with the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethyl pyrazole phosphate (DMPP). Emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) CO 2, N 2O and CH 4 were monitored during 51 days of incubation. Deeper injection (20 cm) did not lead to different GHG emissions compared with a shallow injection (15 cm). Application of DMPP decreased cumulative N 2O emissions significantly by 17–70%. DMPP inhibited N 2O fluxes and NO 3- production, suggesting a positive effect of DMPP on the mitigation of direct GHG emission and nitrate leaching at least during several weeks after digestate fertilization. The effect of DMPP is independent of the application technique. 相似文献

硝化反应是土壤、特别是干旱半干旱地区农业土壤N2O产生的重要途径之一。但是,目前环境条件对硝化反应中N2O排放的影响研究较少,而在国内外通用的几个模型中均用固定比例估算硝化反应过程中N2O的排放。本文通过砂壤土培养试验,研究了土壤温度、水分和NH4+-N浓度对硝化反应速度及硝化反应中N2O排放的影响,并用数学模型定量表示了各因素对硝化反应的作用,用最小二乘法最优拟合求得该土壤的最大硝化反应速度及N2O最大排放比例。结果表明,随着温度升高,硝化反应速度呈指数增长;水分含量由20%充水孔隙度(WFPS)增加到40%WFPS时,反应速度增加,水分含量增加到60%WFPS时反应速度略有降低;NH4+-N浓度增加对硝化反应速度起抑制作用。用米氏方程描述该土壤的硝化反应过程,其最大硝化反应速度为6.67mg·kg?1·d?1。硝化反应中N2O排放比例随温度升高而降低;随NH4+-N浓度增加而略有增加;20%和40%WFPS水分含量时,硝化反应中N2O排放比例为0.43%~1.50%,最小二乘法求得的最大比例为3.03%,60%WFPS时可能由于反硝化作用,N2O排放比例急剧增加,还需进一步研究水分对硝化反应中N2O排放的影响。 相似文献

A better understanding of nitrogen (N) transformation in agricultural soils is crucial for the development of sustainable and environmental-friendly N fertilizer management and the proposal of effective N 2O mitigation strategies. This study aimed: i) to elucidate the seasonal dynamic of gross nitrification rate and N2O emission, ii) to determine the influence of soil conditions on the gross nitrification, and iii) to confirm the relationship between gross nitrification and N 2O emissions in the soil of an apple orchard in Yantai, Northeast China. The gross nitrification rates and N 2O fluxes were examined from March to October in 2009, 2010, and 2011 using the barometric process separation (BaPS) technique and the static chamber method. During the wet seasons gross nitrification rates were 1.64 times higher than those under dry season conditions. Multiple regression analysis revealed that gross nitrification rates were significantly correlated with soil temperature and soil water-filled pore space (WFPS). The relationship between gross nitrification rates and soil WFPS followed an optimum curve peaking at 60% WFPS. Nitrous oxide fluxes varied widely from March to October and were stimulated by N fertilizer application. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between gross nitrification rates and soil N 2O emissions. Further evaluation indicated that gross nitrification contributed significantly to N 2O formation during the dry season (about 86%) but to a lesser degree during the wet season (about 51%). Therefore, gross nitrification is a key process for the formation of N 2O in soils of apple orchard ecosystems of the geographical region. 相似文献

A laboratory investigation was performed to compare the fluxes of dinitrogen (N 2), N 2O and carbon dioxide (CO 2) from no-till (NT) and conventional till (CT) soils under the same water, mineral nitrogen and temperature status. Intact soil cores (0-10 cm) were incubated for 2 weeks at 25 °C at either 75% or 60% water-filled pore space (WFPS) with 15N-labeled fertilizers (100 mg N kg −1 soil). Gas and soil samples were collected at 1-4 day intervals during the incubation period. The N 2O and CO 2 fluxes were measured by a gas chromatography (GC) system while total N 2 and N 2O losses and their 15N mole fractions in the soil mineral N pool were determined by a mass spectrometer. The daily accumulative fluxes of N 2 and N 2O were significantly affected by tillage, N source and soil moisture. We observed higher ( P<0.05) fluxes of N 2+N 2O, N 2O and CO 2 from the NT soils than from the CT soils. Compared with the addition of nitrate (NO 3−), the addition of ammonium (NH 4+) enhanced the emissions of these N and C gases in the CT and NT soils, but the effect of NH 4+ on the N 2 and/or N 2O fluxes was evident only at 60% WFPS, indicating that nitrification and subsequent denitrification contributed largely to the gaseous N losses and N 2O emission under the lower moisture condition. Total and fertilizer-induced emissions of N 2 and/or N 2O were higher ( P<0.05) at 75% WFPS than with 60% WFPS, while CO 2 fluxes were not influenced by the two moisture levels. These laboratory results indicate that there is greater potential for N 2O loss from NT soils than CT soils. Avoiding wet soil conditions (>60% WFPS) and applying a NO 3− form of N fertilizer would reduce potential N 2O emissions from arable soils. 相似文献

Injection of slurry or digestate below maize seeds is a relatively new technique developed to improve nitrogen use efficiency. However, this practice has the major drawback of increasing nitrous oxide (N 2O) emissions. The application of a nitrification inhibitor (NI) is an effective method to reduce these emissions. To evaluate the effect of the NI 3,4‐dimethypyrazole phosphate (DMPP) on N 2O emissions and the stabilization of ammonium, a two‐factorial soil‐column experiment was conducted. PVC pipes (20 cm diameter and 30 cm length) were used as incubation vessels for the soil‐columns. The trial consisted of four treatments in a randomized block design with four replications: slurry injection, slurry injection + DMPP, digestate injection, and digestate injection + DMPP. During the 47‐day incubation period, N 2O fluxes were measured twice a week and cumulated by linear interpolation of the gas‐fluxes of consecutive measurement dates. After completion of the gas flux measurement, concentration of ammonium and nitrate within the soil‐columns was determined. DMPP delayed the conversion of ammonium within the manure injection zone significantly. This effect was considerably more pronounced in treatment digestate + NI than in treatment slurry + NI. Regarding the cumulated N 2O emissions, no difference between slurry and digestate treatments was determined. DMPP reduced the release of N 2O significantly. Transferring the results into practice, the use of DMPP is a promising way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and nitrate leaching, following the injection of slurry or digestate. 相似文献

Soil N 2O emissions can affect global environments because N 2O is a potent greenhouse gas and ozone depletion substance. In the context of global warming, there is increasing concern over the emissions of N 2O from turfgrass systems. It is possible that management practices could be tailored to reduce emissions, but this would require a better understanding of factors controlling N 2O production. In the present study we evaluated the spatial variability of soil N 2O production and its correlation with soil physical, chemical and microbial properties. The impacts of grass clipping addition on soil N 2O production were also examined. Soil samples were collected from a chronosequence of three golf courses (10, 30, and 100-year-old) and incubated for 60 days at either 60% or 90% water filled-pore space (WFPS) with or without the addition of grass clippings or wheat straw. Both soil N 2O flux and soil inorganic N were measured periodically throughout the incubation. For unamended soils, cumulative soil N 2O production during the incubation ranged from 75 to 972 ng N g −1 soil at 60% WFPS and from 76 to 8842 ng N g −1 soil at 90% WFPS. Among all the soil physical, chemical and microbial properties examined, soil N 2O production showed the largest spatial variability with the coefficient of variation ~110% and 207% for 60% and 90% WFPS, respectively. At 60% WFPS, soil N 2O production was positively correlated with soil clay fraction (Pearson's r = 0.91, P < 0.01) and soil NH 4+–N (Pearson's r = 0.82, P < 0.01). At 90% WFPS, however, soil N 2O production appeared to be positively related to total soil C and N, but negatively related to soil pH. Addition of grass clippings and wheat straw did not consistently affect soil N 2O production across moisture treatments. Soil N 2O production at 60% WFPS was enhanced by the addition of grass clippings and unaffected by wheat straw ( P < 0.05). In contrast, soil N 2O production at 90% WFPS was inhibited by the addition of wheat straw and little influenced by glass clippings ( P < 0.05), except for soil samples with >2.5% organic C. Net N mineralization in soil samples with >2.5% organic C was similar between the two moisture regimes, suggesting that O 2 availability was greater than expected from 90% WFPS. Nonetheless, small and moderate changes in the percentage of clay fraction, soil organic matter content, and soil pH were found to be associated with large variations in soil N 2O production. Our study suggested that managing soil acidity via liming could substantially control soil N 2O production in turfgrass systems. 相似文献

In situ field measurements as well as targeted laboratory studies have shown that freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) affect soil trace gas fluxes. However, most of past laboratory studies adjusted soil moisture before soil freezing, thereby neglecting that snow cover or water from melting snow may modify effects of FTCs on soil trace gas fluxes. In the present laboratory study with a typical semi-arid grassland soil, three different soil moisture levels (32 %, 41 %, and 50 % WFPS) were established (a) prior to soil freezing or (b) by adding fresh snow to the soil surface after freezing to simulate field conditions and the effect of the melting snow on CO 2, CH 4, and N 2O fluxes during FTCs more realistically. Our results showed that adjusting soil moisture by watering before soil freezing resulted in significantly different cumulative fluxes of CH 4, CO 2, and N 2O throughout three FTCs as compared to the snow cover treatment, especially at a relatively high soil moisture level of 50 % WFPS. An increase of N 2O emissions was observed during thawing for both treatments. However, in the watering treatment, this increase was highest in the first thawing cycle and decreased in successive cycles, while in the snow cover treatment, a repetition of the FTCs resulted in a further increase of N 2O emissions. These differences might be partly due to the different soil water dynamics during FTCs in the two treatments. CO 2 emissions were a function of soil moisture, with emissions being largest at 50 % WFPS and smallest at 32 % WFPS. The largest N 2O emissions were observed at WFPS values around 50 %, whereas there were only small or negligible N 2O emissions from soil with relatively low soil water content, which indicates that a threshold value of soil moisture might exist that triggers N 2O peaks during thawing. 相似文献

Eleven types of agricultural soils were collected from Chinese uplands and paddy fields to compare their N 2O and NO production by nitrification under identical laboratory conditions. Before starting the assays, all air-dried soils were preincubated for 4 weeks at 25 °C and 40% WFPS (water-filled pore space). The nitrification activities of soils were determined by adding (NH 4) 2SO 4 (200 mg N kg −1 soil) and incubating for 3 weeks at 25 °C and 60% WFPS. The net nitrification rates obtained fitted one of two types of models, depending on the soil pH: a zero-order reaction model for acidic soils and one neutral soil (Group 0); or a first-order reaction model for one neutral soil and alkaline soils (Group 1). The results suggest that pH is the most important factor in determining the kinetics of soil nitrification from ammonium. In the Group 1 soils, initial emissions (i.e. during the first week) of N 2O and NO were 82.6 and 83.6%, respectively, of the total emissions during 3 weeks of incubation; in the Group 0 soils, initial emissions of N 2O and NO were 54.7 and 59.9%, respectively, of the total emissions. The net nitrification rate in the first week and second-third weeks were highly correlated with the initial and subsequent emissions (i.e. during the second and third weeks), respectively, of N 2O and NO. The average percentages of emitted (N 2O+NO)-N relative to net nitrification N in initial and subsequent periods were 2.76 and 0.59 for Group 0, and 1.47 and 0.44 for the Group 1, respectively. The initial and subsequent emission ratios of NO/N 2O from Group 0 (acidic) soils were 3.77 and 2.52 times, respectively, higher than those from Group 1 soils ( P<0.05). 相似文献
