Heavy metal availability, microbial biomass and respiration, bacterial diversity and enzyme activity were studied in soils from long-term field experiments contaminated with Mn-Zn- or Cd-Ni-rich sludge, incorporated into soils at two different rates. Soils that never received sludge were used as controls. Microbial biomass C content (BC) and soil respiration (CO2-C) were slightly reduced in soils amended with Mn-Zn at the higher incorporation rate whereas in soils receiving Cd-Ni-rich sludge BC and respiration were unaffected. Metabolic quotient values (qCO2) calculated by the BC-to-CO2-C ratio were not significantly different, regardless of the sludge type whereas the microbial biomass C-to-total organic C (BC-to-TOC) ratios were significantly reduced in the soils receiving the higher rates of both sludge types. Phosphomonoesterase, β-glucosidase and arylsulfatase activities and hydrolase-to-BC ratios, were significantly reduced in soils amended with Ni-Cd-sludge at both rates, whereas the Mn-Zn-sludge only reduced the arylsulfatase activity at the higher rate. Protease activity was generally higher in all the sludge-amended soils as compared to control soils whereas urease activity was unaffected by sludge amendments. The structure of the bacterial community, as determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), was different in the sludge-amended soils as compared to the respective controls. The most important changes were observed in the soils amended with high-level Ni-Cd sludge. Because some of the adverse effects were observed at moderate contamination levels, our results indicate that the presence of certain heavy metal combinations can be a serious limitation for sludge disposal.  相似文献

Summary Soil enzyme activities (acid and alkaline phosphatase, arylsulfatase, -glucosidase, urease and amidase) were determined (0- to 20-cm depth) after 55 years of crop-residue and N-fertilization treatment in a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-fallow system on semiarid soils of the Pacific Northwest. All residues were incorporated and the treatments were: straw (N0), straw with fall burn (N0FB), straw with spring burn (N0SB), straw plus 45 kg N ha–1 (N45), straw plus 90 kg N ha–1 (N90), straw burned in spring plus 45 kg N ha–1 (N45SB), straw burned in spring plus 90 kg N ha–1 (N90SB), straw plus 2.24 T ha–1 pea-vine residue and straw plus 22.4 T ha–1 of straw-manure. Enzyme activities were significantly (P<0.001) affected by residue management. The highest activities were observed in the manure treated soil, ranging from 36% (acid phosphatase) to 190% increase in activity over the control (N0). The lowest activities occurred in the N0FB (acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase and -glucosidase) and N90 treated soils (alkaline phosphatase, amidase and urease). Straw-burning had a significant effect only on acid phosphatase activity, which decreased in spring burn treated soil when inorganic N was applied. Urease and amidase activity decreased with long-term addition of inorganic N whereas the pea vine and the manure additions increased urease and amidase activity. There was a highly significant effect from the residue treatments on soil pH. Arylsulfatase, urease, amidase and alkaline phosphatase activities were positively correlated and acid phosphatase activity was negatively correlated with soil pH. Enzyme activities were strongly correlated with soil organic C and total N content. Except for acid phosphatase, there was no significant relationship between enzyme activity and grain yield.Journal Paper No. 8072 of the Agricultural Experimental Station, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA  相似文献

Soil enzymatic response to addition of municipal solid-waste compost   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Modifications of soil microbiological activity by the addition of municipal solid-waste compost were studied in laboratory incubations. Three composts were compared, one lumbricompost and two classical composts with different maturation times. Organic C mineralization and nine enzyme activities (dehydrogenase, peroxidase, cellulase, -glucosidase, -galactosidase, N-acetyl--glucosaminidase, protease, amidase, and urease) were determined in the composts and the amended soil. Initial enzyme activities varied in the soil according to the sampling date (winter or summer) and were greater in the composts than in the soil, except for urease. Generally, the youngest compost exhibited greater activity than the oldest one. In the amended soil, the composts did not increase enzyme activity in an additive way. Dehydrogenase, the only strictly endocellular enzyme, was the only one for which the activity in the amended soil increased significantly in proportion to the addition of compost. During the incubations, C mineralization and dehydrogenase activity were significantly correlated, indicating that dehydrogenase was a reliable indicator of global microbial activity. Peroxidase activity in the soil remained constant, but increased in the composts and amended soil. Addition of the oldest compost had no effect on the activity of the C cycle enzymes, but the youngest compost increased creased soil activity at the higher application rate. Enzymes of the N cycle were stimulated by all compost amendments, but the increase was only transient for amidase and urease. Lumbricomposting had no marked effect on compost enzyme activity, either before or during the incubation.  相似文献

Biological processes in soils are regulated in part by soil temperature, and there is currently considerable interest in obtaining robust information on the temperature sensitivity of carbon cycling process. However, very little comparable information exists on the temperature regulation of specific nitrogen cycling processes. This paper addresses this problem by measuring the temperature sensitivity of nitrogen cycling enzymes in soil. A grassland soil was incubated over a range of temperatures (?2 to 21 °C) reflecting 99 % of the soil temperature range during the previous 50 years at the site. After 7 and 14 days of incubation, potential activities of protease, amidase and urease were determined. Activities of protease and urease were positively related to temperature (activation energy; E a?=?49.7 and 73.4 kJ mol?1, respectively, and Q 10?=?2.97 and 2.78, respectively). By contrast, amidase activity was relatively insensitive to temperature, but the activity was significantly increased after the addition of glucose. This indicated that there was a stoichiometric imbalance with amidase activity only being triggered when there was a supply of exogenous carbon. Thus, carbon supply was a greater constraint to amidase activity than temperature was in this particular soil.  相似文献

The potential negative impact of agricultural practices on soil and water quality is of environmental concern. The associated nutrient transformations and movements that lead to environmental concerns are inseparable from microbial and biochemical activities. Therefore, biochemical and microbiological parameters directing nitrogen (N) transformations in soils amended with different animal manures or inorganic N fertilizers were investigated. Soils under continuous corn cultivation were treated with N annually for 5 years at 56, 168, and 504 kg N ha−1 in the form of swine effluent, beef manure, or anhydrous ammonia. Animal manure treatments increased dehydrogenase activity, microbial biomass carbon (Cmic) and N (Nmic) contents, and activities of amidohydrolases, including l-asparaginase, urease, l-glutaminase, amidase, and β-glucosaminidase. Soils receiving anhydrous ammonia demonstrated increased nitrate contents, but reduced microbiological and biochemical activities. All treatments decreased Cmic:organic C (Corg) ratios compared with the control, indicating reduced microbial C use efficiency and disturbance of C equilibrium in these soil environments. Activities of all enzymes tested were significantly correlated with soil Corg contents (P < 0.001, n = 108), but little correlation (r = 0.03, n = 36) was detected between Cmic and Corg. Activities of amidase and β-glucosaminidase were dominated by accumulated enzymes that were free of microbial cells, while activities of asparaginase and glutaminase were originated predominately from intracellular enzymes. Results indicated that soil microbial and biochemical activities are sensitive indicators of processes involved in N flow and C use efficiency in semiarid agroecosystems.  相似文献

Abstract

The effect of the addition of bromacil (pesticide) or/and a sewage sludge on the urease, phosphatase and dehydrogenase activities of soil was studied. Urease and phosphatase activities increased initially with the addition of bromacil. This effect disappeared after 28 d of soil incubation. The increase in the urease and phosphatase activities caused by the addition of sewage sludge was more pronounced than that of bromacil. The combined addition of sewage sludge and bromacil also led to an increase in the activity of both hydrolases. Dehydrogenase activity was affected negatively by the addition of bromacil and positively by the sewage sludge addition. When sewage sludge and bromacil were added simultaneously, dehydrogenase activity was higher than when sewage sludge alone was added.  相似文献

Three soils, sandy loam, clay loam, and muck were subjected to different physical treatments, reinoculated with fresh soil and the effect of these treatments on the numbers of microorganisms and soil enzyme activities was studied. Soils were subjected to air-drying, freeze-drying, freezing, dry ice-freezing, autoclaving and oven drying. The results indicated that the microbial populations increased with some of the physical treatments after 2 or 7 days incubation, while, some of the treatments decreased the populations. Air-drying the clay loam inhibited urease and phosphatase activities. None of the treatments inhibited dehydrogenase activity in either the clay loam or the muck. However, a stimulatory effect after 4 days was evident in the muck with heat treatments. Heat treatments inhibited phosphatase activity in all soils and urease activity throughout the experiment in loams, whereas after 14 days, there was a rapid recovery of urease activity in the muck soil. Autoclaving resulted in a pronounced increase in C2H2 reduction in the three types of soils. Heating appears to have an effect in an organic soil where the formation of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium formazan (formazan) and C2H4 were significantly increased.  相似文献

Liming or vermicomposting eliminates pathogens from wastewater sludge, but might affect CO2 and N2O emissions when added to soil. Soil incubated at 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of its water holding capacity (WHC) was amended with limed or unlimed wastewater sludge, vermicompost or inorganic fertilizer, while emissions of N2O and CO2 and mineral N concentrations were monitored in aerobic incubation experiment for 7 days. Application of unlimed wastewater sludge significantly increased the emission of CO2 compared to the unamended soil, but not the other treatments except when unlimed wastewater sludge was added to soil incubated at 60% WHC. The emission of CO2, was generally largest in soil incubated at 60% WHC and lowest in soil incubated at 100% WHC. The emission of N2O after 1 day was significantly larger in soil amended with unlimed wastewater sludge compared to the other treatments, but not when soil was incubated at 100% WHC. The emission of N2O increased with increased soil water content. The concentration of NH4+ was largest in soil amended with limed or unlimed wastewater sludge and lowest in the unamended soil and soil water content had no clear effect on it. In soil incubated at 40%, 60% and 80% WHC, the largest amount of NO3− was found in soil amended with inorganic fertilizer and vermicompost and the lowest in the soil amended with unlimed wastewater sludge. The concentration of NO3− in soil decreased when the soil water content increased in all treatments, except in the soil amended with unlimed wastewater sludge. It was found that water content affected the emission of CO2 of N2O and the concentration of NO3−, but not the amount of NH4+ and NO2− in soil. Application of unlimed wastewater sludge increased the emissions of CO2 and N2O and the concentrations of NH4+, but decreased the amount of NO3− in soil.  相似文献

湿地松林土壤生化特性和酶活性对模拟硫沉降的响应   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
以亚热带湿地松人工林为研究对象,通过3种水平(对照CK:pH 6.5;低硫LS:pH 4.5;高硫HS:pH 2.5)的模拟硫沉降控制试验,分析土壤生化特性及酶活性对硫添加的响应。结果表明:(1)硫输入促进了土壤酸化,0—5 cm土层土壤pH在HS处理下显著降低,5—10 cm土层土壤pH在LS和HS处理下显著降低(P0.05);(2)硫输入对土壤有机碳库存在一定影响,土壤总有机碳(TOC)对硫输入无显著响应,但土层间的差异性显著增加(P0.05),土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)受影响有限,5—10 cm土层微生物量碳(MBC)LS显著降低(P0.05);(3)硫输入对土壤有效氮库影响存在差异,土壤可溶性有机氮(DON)、铵态氮(NH_4~+—N)尚未表现出显著变化,土壤硝态氮(NO_3~-—N)、土壤微生物量氮(MBN)均在HS处理下显著降低,且硫输入加剧土层间的差异性(P0.05);(4)硫输入抑制了酶活性,土壤脲酶活性在HS处理下显著降低(P0.05),土壤蔗糖酶活性无显著变化,但硫输入均弱化了土层间酶活性的差异性。综合分析所有处理下的土壤生化性质和酶活性等指标发现,对硫添加响应敏感的是土壤pH和酶,土层是另外一个主要影响因子,硫添加和土层的交互作用则影响有限。采用Pearson分析得出,硫输入改变了土壤生化特性、酶活性等指标间的相关性程度。可见,酸雨对土壤酸化的影响是一个逐渐累积的过程,外源性硫添加对土壤碳氮及酶活性的影响存在一定差异,这可为硫沉降环境胁迫下森林管理提供科学依据。  相似文献

This study investigated the long-term effect of lime application and tillage systems (no-till, ridge-till and chisel plow) on the activities of arylamidase and amidohydrolases involved in N cycling in soils at four long-term research sites in Iowa, USA. The activities of the following enzymes were assayed: arylamidase, -asparaginase, -glutaminase, amidase, urease, and -aspartase at their optimal pH values. The activities of the enzymes were significantly (P<0.001) and positively correlated with soil pH, with r values ranging from 0.42* to 0.99*** for arylamidase, 0.81*** to 0.97*** for -asparaginase, 0.62*** to 0.97*** for -glutaminase, 0.61*** to 0.98*** for amidase, 0.66** to 0.96*** for urease, and 0.80*** to 0.99*** for -aspartase. The Δactivity/ΔpH values were calculated to assess the sensitivity of the enzymes to changes in soil pH. The order of the sensitivity of enzymes was as follows: -

-aspartase. The enzyme activities were greater in the samples of the 0–5 cm depth than those of the 0–15 cm samples under no-till treatment. Most of the enzyme activities were significantly (P<0.001) and positively correlated with microbial biomass C (Cmic) and N (Nmic). Lime application significantly affected the specific activities of the six enzymes studied. Results showed that soil management practices, including liming and type of tillage significantly affect soil biological and biochemical properties, which may lead to changes in nitrogen cycling, including N mineralization in soils.  相似文献

 An incubation experiment lasting 120 days was carried out to ascertain the effect on the soil microbial activity and organic matter mineralization of adding a sewage sludge compost contaminated with two different levels of Cd to an arid soil. Two composts, with a low (2 mg kg–1) and high (815 mg kg–1) Cd content, respectively, were used in this experiment. Both composts increased the total organic C, humic substance and water-soluble C contents, the beneficial effects still being noticeable after 120 days of incubation. The most labile C fraction (water-soluble C) was the most sensitive to the high Cd content. The high Cd concentration decreased soil microbial biomass C and stimulated the metabolic activity of the microbial biomass, the metabolic quotient (qCO2) revealing itself to be a very sensitive index of the stress that the incorporation of a Cd-contaminated sewage sludge compost causes in a soil. The effect of Cd contamination on enzyme activities (urease, protease that hydrolyse N-α-benzoil-l-arginamide, phosphatase, and β-glucosidase) depended on the enzyme studied.

There are plans to vegetate soil of the former lake Texcoco and use wastewater sludge to provide nutrients. However, the Texcoco soil is N depleted, so the amount of N available to the vegetation might be limited and the dynamics of C and N affected. We investigated how emissions of CO2, N2O and N2, and dynamics of mineral N were affected when different types of N fertilizer, i.e. NH4+, NO3−, or unsterilized or sterilized wastewater sludge, were added to the Texcoco soil. An agricultural soil served as control. Sewage sludge added to an alkaline saline soil (Texcoco soil) induced a decrease in concentrations of NH4+ and NO3−. Addition of sewage sludge increased the CO2 emission rate > two times compared to soil amended with sterilized sludge. The NH4+ concentration was lower when sludge was added to an agricultural soil for the first 28 days and in the Texcoco soil for 56 days compared to soil amended with sterilized sludge. Production of N2O in the agricultural soil was mainly due to nitrification, even when sludge was added, but denitrification was the main source of N2O in the Texcoco soil. Microorganisms in the sludge reduced N2O to N2, but not the soil microorganisms. It was found that microorganisms added with the sludge accelerated organic material decomposition, increased NH4+ immobilization, and induced immobilization of NO3− (in Texcoco soil). These results suggest that wastewater sludge improves soil fertility at Otumba (an agricultural soil) and would favour the vegetation of the Texcoco soil (alkaline saline).  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate factors regulating phosphatase activities in Mediterranean soils subjected to sewage sludge applications. Soils originating from calcareous and siliceous mineral parent materials were amended with aerobically digested sewage sludge, with or without physico-chemical treatment by ferric chloride. Sludge amendments, ranging from 6.2 to 10 g kg−1 soil, were carried out in order to provide soil with a P total quantity equivalent to 0.5 g P2O5 per kg of soil. Bacterial density, phosphatase activities (i.e. acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterases and phosphodiesterases) and available P (i.e. P Olsen and P water) were measured after 25 and 87 days of incubation. Results showed significant effects of sewage sludge application and incubation period. Sewage sludge effect resulted in an increase in phosphatase activities, microbial density and available P. Incubation period increased available P while decreasing phosphatase activities. This study also revealed that the origin of sludge and its chemical characteristics may show different effects on certain variables such as phosphodiesterases or bacterial density, whereas mineral parent materials of soils did not show any significant effects.  相似文献

The mutagenic potential of the acid, base, and neutral fractions of petroleum sludge amended soil was determined using the Salmonella/microsome assay and Aspergillus methionine assay. Organic compounds were extracted from two different soils amended with either storm-water runoff impoundment or combined API-separator/slop-oil emulsion solids waste. Application of either waste to soil reduced the mutagenic activity of organic compounds extracted from equal weights of soil. However, biodegradation increased both the total and the direct-acting mutagenicity of all fractions residual in the waste-amended soil. The maximum level of mutagenic activity per milligram residual C was detected in the sample collected 360 days after waste application for the acid and base fractions from the storm-water runoff impoundment amended soils and the acid, base, and neutral fractions of the combined API separator/slop-oil emulsion waste amended soils. A comparison of the results based on equivalent weights of soil indicates that the mutagenic potential of both wastes was reduced by soil incorporation. The results from the Salmonella assay indicate that while the bulk of the solvent extractable organics in both wastes was rendered non-mutagenic, the mutagenic potential of the organic compounds in the acid fraction from the storm-water runoff impoundment sludge amended soil was increased. The results from the Aspergillus assay of both wastes indicate that the mutagenic potential of all three fractions was eventually reduced to a level that would be considered non-mutagenic. Thus, while degradation may have increased the mutagenic potential of specific organic compounds that were residual in the soil, the overall effect of degradation was to reduce the weighted activity of the waste amended soil.  相似文献

Sewage sludge is increasingly used as an organic amendment to soil, especially to soil containing little organic matter. However, little is known about the utility of this organic amendment in the reclamation of soil polluted with heavy metals. We studied the effects of adding sewage sludge on enzymatic activities of a semi-arid soil contaminated with Cd or Ni in the laboratory. The activities of urease, phosphatase, β-glucosidase and protease-BAA were measured in soil containing concentrations of Cd or Ni in the range 0–8000 mg kg−1 soil, and their inhibition was compared with those of the enzymatic activities in the same soil amended with sewage sludge and containing similar concentrations of the heavy metals. The inhibition was tested for three different incubation times to determine changes in the effect of the heavy metals on hydrolase activity with the time elapsed after contamination. Ecological dose (ED) values of Cd and Ni were calculated from three mathematical models which described the inhibition of the enzymatic activities with increasing concentrations of heavy metal in the soil. For urease and phosphatase activities, the ED values for Cd and Ni increased after application of sewage sludge to soil, indicating a decrease in Cd and Ni toxicity. The other two enzymes (β-glucosidase and protease-BAA) were less sensitive to Cd or Ni contamination, and it was more difficult to determine whether addition of sewage sludge had affected the inhibition of these enzymes by the heavy metals.  相似文献

Some techniques commonly used for enzyme purification were unsuitable to purify urease extracted by pyrophosphate from soil. An all-or-none behaviour seemed to be a prominent feature of such experiments but in some instances slight increases of specific activity were observed.The most effective purification of soil urease was achieved by exhaustively ultrafiltrating the soil extract against 0.1 m pyrophosphate at pH 7.1, separating the retained material into fractions of mol. wt. higher (AI) and lower (AII) than 105, followed by gel chromatography.Increases in total activities were observed both after ultrafiltration and gel chromatography. Ultra-filtration increased the total activity of the extracted urease by about 8%. The specific activity of fraction AI increased four fold, that of fraction AII by more than three fold. Fractions obtained by gel chromatography accounted in toto for only 13.5% of the organic-C of the soil extract. Total urease activity increased by 45.6%. Specific activities increased to 6.9–18 times that of the soil extract.  相似文献

Abstract

Extracting sludge‐amended soil with DTPA does not always give a reliable measure of plant‐available heavy metals. The major purpose of this greenhouse pot study was to help explain why. Two anaerobically digested sludges from sewages treated with either Ca(OH)2or FeCl3were applied to 3‐kg samples of a Mollic Albaqualf previously limed with Ca(OH)2rates of 0, 2.5, and 10g/pot that resulted in pHs in the check pots of 5.4, 6.2, or 7.7 after the first harvest. Sludge rates provided 0, 200, 40, 800, and 1600 mg Zn kg‐1of soil. Two consecutive crops of soybeans (Glycine MaxL.) were grown for 42 d each in the greenhouse. DTPA‐extractable, soil‐solution, and plant concentrations of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+were measured.

Dry matter yields were depressed due to salt toxicity, while DTPA‐extracted Cu2+correlated with plant uptake of Cu2+for both sludges. DTPA‐extracted Ni2+also correlated with plant Ni2+from the Ca(OH)2‐sludge‐amended soil, although DTPA‐extracted Ni2+did not correlate with plant uptake of Ni2+from the FeCl3‐sludge‐amended soil, DTPA‐extracted Zn did not correlate with plant uptake of Zn2+from any sludge‐amended soil. Soil‐solution composition correlated with plant uptake of Cu2+and Ni2+in both sludges; it also correlated with plant uptake of Zn2+from FeCl3‐sludge‐amended soil but not from Ca(OH)2‐sludge‐amended soil. DTPA extraction probably failed with Ni2+and Zn2+because of (i) its ineffectiveness at low pH, (ii) the inability of DTPA to buffer each soil extract near pH 7.3, and (iii) increased amounts of soluble chelated micronutrients at higher sludge rates and higher soil pHs. Soil‐solution composition seemed to fail only where micronutrient cations in solution probably were present largely as organic chelates  相似文献

In a field experiment, net nitrogen (N) mineralization and immobilization were studied in relation to: 1) population dynamics and activities of N-metabolizing soil microbial communities, 2) changes in substrate-induced respiration (SIR) and 3) potential urease acitvity. Nitrogen fertilization (80 kg NO3-N ha-1) without irrigation induced additional N mineralization up to 280 kg N ha-1. Net N-mineralization was weakly correlated to cell numbers of ammonifying and NH4+-oxidizing microorganisms. Potential urease activity, respiration activity, and substrate-induced respiration activity were not correlated with the amount of mineralized nitrogen. Irrigation significantly increased potential urease activity of the soil microflora. Substrate induced respiration activity and basal respiration activity of the soil microflora were highest in the unfertilized and non irrigated treatment. But greatest differences were detected between the two sampling dates. NO2--oxidizing and ammonifying microbial populations increased, while populations of NH4+-oxidizing and denitrifying microorganisms decreased with time. The results of this study demonstrate the interaction of nitrogen fertilizer application and irrigation on population dynamics of N-transforming soil microorganisms and microbial activities under field conditions. Detailed microbiological investigations of this type improve our understanding of nitrogen transformations in soil and suggest possible reasons of nitrogen losses, so that N fertilizer can be used more effectively and N losses be reduced.  相似文献

Changes produced in the biological characteristics of an arid soil by the addition of various urban wastes (municipal solid waste, sewage sludge and compost) at different doses, were evaluated during a 360-day incubation experiment. The addition of organic materials to the soil increased the values of biomass carbon, basal respiration, biomass C/total organic C ratio and metabolic quotient (qCO2), indicating the activation of soil microorganisms. These biological parameters showed a decreasing tendency with time. Nevertheless, their values in amended soils were higher than in control soil, which clearly indicates the improvement of soil biological quality brought about by the organic amendment. This favorable effect on soil biological activity was more noticeable with the addition of fresh wastes (municipal solid waste or sewage sludge) than with compost. In turn, this effect was more permanent when the soil was amended with municipal solid waste than when it was amended with sewage sludge. Received: 28 May 1996  相似文献

Summary We evaluated potential NO inf3 sup- losses from organic and inorganic N sources applied to improve the growth of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) on a Pima clay loam soil (Typic Torrifluvent). An initial set of soil cores (April 1989) was collected to a depth of 270 cm from sites in a cotton field previously amended with anaerobically digested sewage sludge or an inorganic N fertilizer. The denitrification potential was estimated in all soil samples by measuring N2O with gas chromatography. Soils amended with a low or high rate of sludge showed increased denitrification activity over soil samples amended with a low rate or inorganic N fertilizer. All amended samples showed greater denitrification activity than control soils. The denitrification decreased with soil depth in all treatments, and was only evident as deep as 90 cm in the soils treated with the high sludge rate. However, when soils collected from depths greater than 90 cm were amended with a C substrate, significant denitrification activity occurred. These date imply that organisms capable of denitrification were present in all soil samples, even those at depths far beneath the root zone. Hence, denitrification was C-substrate limited. A second series of soil cores taken later in the growing season (July 1989) confirmed these data. Denitrification losses (under laboratory conditions) to a soil depth of 270 cm represented 1–4% of total soil N depending on treatment, when the activity was C-substrate limited. With additional C substrate, the denitrification losses increased to 15–22% of the total soil N.  相似文献
