 Nitrification and denitrification are, like all biological processes, influenced by temperature. We investigated temperature effects on N trace gas turnover by nitrification and denitrification in two soils under two experimental conditions. In the first approach ("temperature shift experiment") soil samples were preincubated at 25  °C and then exposed to gradually increasing temperatures (starting at 4  °C and finishing at 40–45  °C). Under these conditions the immediate effect of temperature change was assessed. In the second approach ("discrete temperature experiment") the soil samples were preincubated at different temperatures (4–35  °C) for 5 days and then tested at the same temperatures. The different experimental conditions affected the results of the study. In the temperature shift experiment the NO release increased steadily with increasing temperature in both soils. In the discrete temperature experiment, however, the production rates of NO and N2O showed a minimum at intermediate temperatures (13–25  °C). In one of the soils (soil B9), the percent contribution of nitrification to NO production in the discrete temperature experiment reached a maximum (>95% contribution) at 25  °C. In the temperature shift experiment nitrification was always the dominant process for NO release and showed no systematic temperature dependency. In the second soil (soil B14), the percent contribution of nitrification to NO release decreased from 50 to 10% as the temperature was increased from 4  °C to 45  °C, but no differences were evident in the discrete temperature experiment. The N2O production rates were measured in the discrete temperature experiment only. The contribution of nitrification to N2O production in soil B9 was considerably higher at 25–35  °C (60–80% contribution) than at 4–13  °C (15–20% contribution). In soil B14 the contribution of nitrification to N2O production was lowest at 4  °C. The effects of temperature on N trace gas turnover differed between the two soils and incubation conditions. The experimental set-up allowed us to distinguish between immediate effects of short-term changes in temperature on the process rates, and longer-term effects by which preincubation at a particular temperature presumably resulted in the adaptation of the soil microorganisms to this temperature. Both types of effects were important in regulating the release of NO and N2O from soil. Received: 20 October 1998  相似文献

We explored an alternative method to analyse data of Coûteaux et al. [2002, Soil Biology and Biochemistry 34, 69-78] on the decomposition of a standard organic material in six soils along an altitudinal gradient in the Venezuelan Andes (65-3968 m a.s.l.). Coûteaux et al., fitted separate two-component decomposition models to data of the individual sites, allowing the initial size of the labile and the resistant component to differ between sites. This procedure led them to conclude that the initial size of the resistant component and its decomposition rate depend on temperature while decomposition rate of the labile component does not, which seems biologically unlikely and at variance with literature. As an alternative we fitted a single two-component model to the whole data set, using identical initial component sizes for all sites. We found no statistical ground for using variable initial component sizes. It appeared that the data does not allow a conclusion on the effect of temperature on the decomposition of the labile component. We also investigated alternatives for the values of Q10 and Topt that were used by Coûteaux et al., and found that temperature explains a larger part of the differences in decomposition rate among sites when using a Q10 value of 3.75 instead of 2.2 and a Topt value of 27 °C instead of 25 °C. We discuss the arguments used in model selection and the consequences for predictions of long-term accumulation of soil carbon. Our analysis suggests an even stronger positive feedback between global warming and soil carbon emission than the analysis by Coûteaux et al.  相似文献

Although the temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition has been widely studied, the estimate substantially depends on the methods used with specific assumptions. Here we compared several commonly used methods (i.e., one-pool (1P) model, two-discrete-pool (2P) model, three-discrete-pool (3P) model, and time-for-substrate (T4S) Q10 method) plus a new and more process-oriented approach for estimating Q10 of SOM decomposition from laboratory incubation data to evaluate the influences of the different methods and assumptions on Q10 estimation. The process-oriented approach is a three-transfer-pool (3PX) model that resembles the decomposition sub-model commonly used in Earth system models. The temperature sensitivity and other parameters in the models were estimated from the cumulative CO2 emission using the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique. The estimated Q10s generally increased with the soil recalcitrance, but decreased with the incubation temperature increase. Our results indicated that the 1P model did not adequately simulate the dynamics of SOM decomposition and thus was not adequate for the Q10 estimation. All the multi-pool models fitted the soil incubation data well. The Akaike information criterion (AIC) analysis suggested that the 2P model is the most parsimonious. As the incubation progressed, Q10 estimated by the 3PX model was smaller than those by the 2P and 3P models because the continuous C transfers from the slow and passive pools to the active pool were included in the 3PX model. Although the T4S method could estimate the Q10 of labile carbon appropriately, our analyses showed that it overestimated that of recalcitrant SOM. The similar structure of 3PX model with the decomposition sub-model of Earth system models provides a possible approach, via the data assimilation techniques, to incorporate results from numerous incubation experiments into Earth system models.  相似文献

 Most model predictions concerning the response of boreal forest ecosystems to climate change are inferred from small-scale experiments on artificial, simplified systems. Whole-ecosystem experiments designed to validate these models are scarce. We experimentally manipulated a small forested catchment in southern Norway by increasing soil temperature (+3  °C in summer to +5  °C in winter) using heating cables installed at 1 cm depth in the litter layer. Especially nitrification in the 0 to 10-cm soil layer increased as a result of the climate manipulation. Betula litter, produced after exposing trees for 2 years to ambient and elevated CO2 in greenhouses, was incubated for 1 year in the manipulated catchment. Exposure to elevated CO2 did not affect the C/N ratio or decomposition of the Betula litter, but lignin content decreased by 10%. We found no effect of elevated temperature on litter decomposition, probably due to desiccation of the litter. The heating cables caused a permanent increase in soil temperature in this soil layer, but when soils were dry, the temperature difference between control and heated plots decreased with increasing distance from the cables. When soils were wet, no gradients in temperature increase occurred. Received: 25 November 1997  相似文献

 This paper aims at a better understanding of methane oxidation under conditions that are representative of landfill cover soils. The kinetics of methane oxidation were studied in landfill cover soils that had been exposed to high methane mixing ratios. This was done in batch experiments, under various environmental conditions. V max increased exponentially with temperature in the range 5–35  °C, with a Q 10 value of 2.8. K m increased approximately linearly in this range from 1.2 μM to 7 μM. Consequently, the influence of temperature on methane consumption was more pronounced at high concentrations than at low concentrations. The inhibition by ammonium of methane consumption was much stronger after 6–7 months of exposure to high methane mixing ratios than after 5–7 weeks of exposure, indicating that there was a shift of dominating methanotrophic species in soils after long exposure times. Additions of nitrifying sludge or compost to soils initially inhibited methane oxidation, followed by a stimulation after a few days. Received: 19 May 2000  相似文献

The aim of our studies was to determine the relation between temperature and the respiration rate of the forest soil organic layer along an altitudinal gradient while controlling the effects of the soil characteristics. The respiration rate was measured in laboratory conditions at different temperatures, 0, 10, 20, and 30°C, in samples collected in the Polish part of the Western Carpathians at 600, 800, 1,000, and 1,200 m above sea level from four different mountains, which were later treated as replicates. The increase in the average respiration rate between two consecutive temperatures was expressed as Q 10 coefficients. Among the nutrients measured in the soil organic layer, only the total organic N concentration significantly increased with elevation. The temperature effect was significant for both the respiration rate and the Q 10 values. The calculated Q 10 values were highest for the temperature range between 10 and 20°C, and the lowest values were obtained from the highest temperature range (20–30°C). The altitude effect was significant for the respiration rate but not for the Q 10 values, indicating that the temperature sensitivity of the soil respiration did not change much along the studied altitudinal gradient.  相似文献

 Wetland rice soils from Italy (Pavia) and the Philippines (Bugallon, Luisiana, Maligaya) were incubated under anoxic conditions at 31 different temperatures ranging from 4.7  °C to 49.5  °C. Production of CO2 was most intensive at the beginning of the incubation (0–4 days) and was predominantly coupled to the reduction of free Fe(III). The optimum temperature for these processes was between 32  °C and 41  °C. After 9–16 days, CO2 production rates had decreased and the available Fe(III) had been completely reduced at the optimum temperatures. However, Fe(III) was still available at temperatures below and above the optimum. Maximum CH4 production rates were observed after 4–16 days (except in soil from Maligaya) with temperature optima between 32  °C and 41  °C, similar to those for CO2 production and Fe reduction. Since ongoing Fe reduction is known to suppress CH4 production, the temperature range of optimum CH4 production was restricted to those temperatures at which Fe(III) had already been depleted. Nevertheless, the temperature characteristics of both CO2 and CH4 production often exhibited two temperature optima at some time during the incubation, suggesting a complex pattern of adaptation of the methanogenic microbial community to temperature. When available Fe(III) was completely depleted by anoxic pre-incubation at 30  °C, CH4 was produced at a constant rate (steady state conditions) which increased with increasing temperature. Steady state CH4 production reached a first maximum at about 40  °C, but increased further up to at least 50  °C, suggesting the presence of thermophilic microorganisms whose activity was apparently masked when Fe had not been completely reduced. The apparent activation energy of CH4 production at steady state ranged between 48 kJ mol–1 and 65 kJ mol–1. Received: 26 August 1999  相似文献

 Phosphorus mineralization and microbial biomass were measured in the surface 5 cm of a Spodosol (sandy, siliceous hyperthermic Ultic Alaquod) from north-central Florida. Soils from fertilized and unfertilized plantations of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) were incubated at a range of water potentials (∼0, –3, –8, –10 and –1500 kPa) and temperatures (15  °C, 25  °C and 38  °C) for 14 days and 42 days. Increasing water potential and temperature increased specific P mineralization (mineralization expressed as a percentage of total P) regardless of fertilizer treatment. An increase in water potential from –10 kPa to –0.1 kPa resulted in an increase of between 38% and 239% in the concentration of KCl-extractable inorganic P, depending on incubation temperature and time. An increase in incubation temperature from 15  °C to 38  °C resulted in an increase of between 13% and 53% in KCl-extractable inorganic P. Changes in specific P mineralization with change in water potential or temperature were not affected by fertilizer application. This suggests that, although specific P mineralization was greater in the fertilized soils, environmental control of P mineralization was the same for both treatments. Specific P mineralization was most sensitive when soils were at higher water potentials, and decreased logarithmically to water potentials of between –3 kPa and –8 kPa. Specific P mineralization was relatively insensitive to changes in water potential when water potential was lower than –8 kPa. Microbial biomass C showed no consistent responses to changes of temperature or water potential and was not significantly correlated with specific P mineralization. Our results suggest that field estimates of P mineralization in these Spodosols may be improved by accounting for changes in soil water potential and temperature. Received: 30 October 1997  相似文献

 The experiment, carried out on a forest and arable light-textured soil, was designed to study the temperature response of autotrophic and heterotrophic N2O production and investigate how the N2O flux relates to soil respiration and O2 consumption. Although N2O production seemed to be stimulated by a temperature increase in both soils, the relationship between production rate and temperature was different in the two soils. This seemed to depend on the different contribution of nitrification and denitrification to the overall N2O flux. In the forest soil, almost all N2O was derived from nitrification, and its production rate rose linearly from 2  °C to 40  °C. A stronger effect of temperature on N2O production was observed in the arable soil, apparently as a result of an incremental contribution of denitrification to the overall N2O flux with rising temperature. The soil respiration rate increased exponentially with temperature and was significantly correlated with N2O production. O2 consumption stimulated denitrification in both soils. In the arable soil, N2O and N2 production increased exponentially with decreasing O2 concentration, though N2O was the main gas produced at any temperature. In the forest soil, only the N2 flux was related exponentially to O2 consumption and it outweighed the rate of N2O production only at >34  °C. Thus, it appears that in the forest soil, where nitrification was the main source of N2O, temperature affected the N2O flux less dramatically than in the arable soil, where a temperature increase strongly stimulated N2O production by enhancing favourable conditions for denitrification.

Identifying and quantifying attributes that help predict rates of heterotrophic soil respiration is a key issue. Similarly, assessing the temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil C is critical to establishing if increases in Mean Annual Temperature will serve to further increase atmospheric CO2. Using organic soils from three sub-alpine communities that differ significantly in structure, species composition and productivity, we measured the respiratory quotient (RQ = rates of CO2 efflux/rates of O2 uptake) and temperature sensitivity of heterotrophic respiration during long-term (120 days) incubation. As a directly measurable parameter, RQ is free of empirical assumptions and provides an additional tool that can be used in conjunction with constants derived from fitted Arrhenius or exponential equations, to help understand shifts in microbial use of C substrates and how changes in vegetation might affect soil processes. Q10 did not change significantly over the course of a 120-day incubation for any of our studied soils. RQs varied with vegetation type and were consistently lower in grassland soils than woodland soils. RQs also varied during long-term incubations and declined consistently with time for grassland soils. RQs declined towards the end of the 120-day incubation for woodland soils. The generally low Ea for these soils from sub-alpine vegetation types in Australia, and the fairly rapid decline in RQ during incubation, suggest the likely greater temperature sensitivity of recalcitrant C relative to labile C could provide a strong positive feedback to increases in Mean Annual Temperature.  相似文献

Rates of carbon dioxide production of cocoons, juveniles and matures of Lumbricus rubellus were measured at five constant (2°C, 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C) and three diurnally fluctuating temperature regimes (0–10°C, 5–15°C, 10–20°C) covering the whole range of temperature conditions experienced by this species in forests in Central Germany. Respiration rates of developmental stages significantly increased with temperature both under constant and fluctuating regimes. Overall, at constant temperature regimes Q10 values for cocoons, juvenile and mature earthworms were 1.6, 2.7 and 2.0, respectively. At fluctuating temperature regimes Q10 values were generally higher with 2.4, 3.6 and 3.5 for cocoons, juvenile and mature earthworms, respectively. At the same mean temperature respiration rates at fluctuating regimes exceeded those at constant regimes in all developmental stages.  相似文献

Six paddy soils of Shanghai, China, were studied after 120 days of anaerobic incubation at 25 ℃ and 35 ℃. Four models, the effective accumulated temperature model, the one-component first-order exponential model (the one-pool model), the two-component first-order exponential model (the two-pool model), and the two-component first-order plus zero-order exponential model including a constant term (the special model), were fitted to the data of observed mineral-N during incubation using non-linear regression procedures. The two-pool model and the special model gave the best fits amongst the four models, and parameters in the special model were more reasonable than those in the other three. Results showed that the special model gave a better prediction of nitrogen mineralization under flooded conditions than the other three models.  相似文献

A reliable determination of the response of soil organic carbon decomposition to temperature is critical in the context of global warming. However, uncertainties remain in estimated temperature sensitivity of soil respiration, which may be partly due to different experimental conditions. To investigate the possible effects of laboratory incubation procedures on estimated Q10 value, soil samples taken from various ecosystems were incubated under changing temperature with different experimental conditions or procedures: 1) different rate of temperature change; 2) different intervals of temperature change; 3) equilibration time after temperature change; 4) the duration of chamber closure and 5) the size of incubated soil sample. The results indicated that respiration rate was affected by experimental procedures. The respiration rate of soil samples containing high concentration of organic carbon decreased quickly if the soil container sealed longer than 2 h. Estimated Q10 values across all soils ranged from 1.56 to 2.70, with respect to the effects of incubation procedures. Temperature rate change, equilibration time, the duration of chamber closure and soil sample size had no effect on estimated Q10 values of soil respiration. However, Q10 values derived from temperature changing intervals of 2 and 7 °C were significantly different, despite the fact that the exponential function fitted well for the relationship between respiration rate and temperature for both intervals. The results of these experiments suggested that incubation procedures have different effects on measured soil respiration and estimated Q10 values. For soil incubations of short-duration, the effects of incubation procedures on soil respiration and estimated Q10 values based on respiration rate should be appropriately tested with experimental setting-up, and estimating Q10 values with few temperatures should be avoided.  相似文献

The annual and seasonal variations in the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (Rs) were assessed through continuous measurements during the 2004-2006 growing seasons using chamber-based techniques in two sub-alpine forest ecosystems in the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. The study sites were 40-year-old spruce plantations (Picea asperata) (FSPF) and Faxon Fir Primary Forest (FPF). Our results showed that Q10, regardless of site origin, exhibited a strong seasonal and annual variation pattern, and decreased with soil temperature increase. Estimated Q10 values ranged between 1.16 and 24.3. The maximum, annual, mean Q10 values remained consistent over 3 years, while the highest Q10 values (7.01 in FSPF and 6.39 in FPF) occurred in 2005 (for all sites). There was no significant difference observed among Q10 values between the two forest types in each year (2004-2006) (p = 0.07). Q10 values were fitted well with data of soil temperature using linear regression models, while the correlation between Q10 and soil moisture was not significant (p > 0.1). This study suggested that soil temperature was the dominant factor influencing Q10 values, while soil moisture was a potential contributor to the annual and seasonal variations of Q10 in a sub-alpine forest. Due to the complexity of correlation between Rs and soil moisture, Q10 values derived from annual and seasonal patterns of RS should be used with caution when predicting future soil CO2 emissions under conditions of global warming.  相似文献

 Extractability of microbial N was estimated using in situ labelling of the microbial population with 15N. Four arable soils (one grey forest soil and three chernozems with different long-term fertilization) were amended with (NH4)2SO4 (unlabelled or labelled with 15N) and d-glucose with a C : N ratio of 10 : 1 or 20 : 1 for the grey forest soil and 50 : 1 for the chernozems. d-glucose and labelled N with a C : N ratio of 20 : 1 did not cause microbial immobilization of unlabelled N. The use of substrates with a C : N ratio of 50 : 1 led to a pronounced priming action on soil N and decreased the extractability of immobilized 15N. Values of the extractable biomass N fraction (k EN ) assessed for the fumigation-extraction and rehydration procedures were similar and varied in inverse proportion to the C : N ratio of the flush. The k EN factor was calculated using values of the C : N ratio in flushes and the fixed C : N ratio of structural cell components, with the assumption that the C : N ratio of the extractable cytoplasmic cell fraction is variable. The ratio between the extractable and non-extractable biomass N fraction (k EC ) and the C : N ratio of non-extractable cell components were assessed as equation parameters optimized for the measured k EN and C : N ratio of flush data.

 An open incubation technique was used to measure S mineralization in a range of upland soils of north China. Six mineralization patterns were examined, and a soil S-exhaustion experiment with ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) was conducted to investigate the availability of various organic S pools to plants. For all of the 12 soils tested, the release of S as SO4 2– was curvilinear with time, and during a 28-week incubation at 30  °C the amount of S mineralized ranged from 14.0 mg S kg–1 soil to 37.4 mg S kg–1 soil. A first-order model and Gompertz model appeared to best describe S mineralization. Examination of the soils after incubation revealed the bulk of the mineralized S was mainly derived from the C-bonded S pool, while the majority of mineralized S under soil S exhaustion by ryegrass was derived from the HI-reducible S pool.

 Effects of increased soil temperature on soil microbial biomass and dehydrogenase activity were examined on organic (O) horizon material in a low-elevation spruce-fir ecosystem. Soil temperature was maintained at 5  °C above ambient during the growing season in the experimental plots, and soil temperature, moisture, microbial biomass, and dehydrogenase activity were measured during the experiment. An incubation study was also conducted under three temperature regimes, 5, 15, and 25  °C, and under four moisture regimes of 20, 120, 220, and 320% to further evaluate these environmental factors on dehydrogenase activity and microbial biomass. Soil moisture content and microbial biomass controls were significantly lower (30% and 2 μg g–1 soil, respectively) in the heated plots during the treatment period, suggesting that moisture content was important in controlling microbial biomass. In the incubation study, temperature appeared more important than moisture in controlling microbial biomass and dehydrogenase activity. Increasing temperature between 5  °C and 25  °C resulted in significant decreases in microbial biomass and dehydrogenase activity. Received: 7 August 1998  相似文献

No consensus exists regarding soil organic carbon (SOC) lability and the temperature sensitivity of its decomposition. This lack of clear understanding limits the accuracy in predicting the long-term impacts of climate change on soil carbon (C) storage. In this study, we determined the temperature responses of labile and recalcitrant organic carbon (LOC vs. ROC) by comparing the time required to decompose a given amount of C at different incubation temperatures along an elevational gradient in the Wuyi Mountains in southeastern China. Results showed that the temperature sensitivity increased with increasing SOC recalcitrance (Q10-labile = 1.39 ± 0.04 vs. Q10-recalcitrant = 3.94 ± 0.30). Q10-labile and Q10-recalcitrant values significantly increased with increasing soil depth. The effect of elevational vegetation change was significant for Q10-recalcitrant but not for Q10-labile, though they increased along the elevational gradient. The response of ROC pools to changes in temperature would accelerate the soil-stored C losses in the Wuyi Mountains. Kinetic theory suggested that SOC decomposition was both temperature- and quality-dependent due to an increased temperature. This would promote more CO2 release from recalcitrant soil organic matter (SOM) in cold regions, resulting in a greater positive feedback to global climate change than previously expected. Moreover, the response of ROC to changes in temperature will determine the magnitude of the positive feedback due to its large storage in soils.  相似文献

This study aimed to experimentally determine adequate temperature functions for the rate coefficients of net N mineralization in sandy arable soils from NW Germany. Long‐term laboratory incubations were carried out in seven sandy arable soils at 3°C, 10°C, 19°C, 28°C, and 35°C in order to derive the rate coefficients of a simultaneous two‐pool first‐order kinetic equation. Thereby we differentiated between a small, fast mineralizable N pool, comprising mainly fresh residues, and a larger, slowly mineralizable N pool of old, humified organic matter. The rate coefficients were plotted against temperature, and fits of several different functions were tested: Arrhenius, Q10, and multiple non‐mechanistic equations. The two derived rate coefficients showed very different temperature functions. Especially in critical temperature ranges (<5/10°C, >30/35°C) common Q10 functions failed to fit well, and, only below 10°C, the Arrhenius functions were in agreement with mean measured rate coefficients. Over the studied temperature range, only relatively complex, multiple equations could adequately account for the observed patterns. In addition, temperature functions that have been derived earlier from loess soils from NW Germany were found not to be transferable to the sandy arable soils studied. Thus, the results strongly question the use of the same Arrhenius or Q10 function or the same rate modifying factor for different N pools as well as for different soils as is generally done in models. Evaluations with field measurements of net N mineralization in part II of the paper (Heumann and Böttcher, 2004) will show which functions perform best in the field.  相似文献

 Animal slurries are stored for a variable period of time before application in the field. The effect of cattle slurry storage time and temperature on the subsequent mineralization of C and N in soil was studied under laboratory conditions. Urine and faeces from a dairy cow were sampled separately and mixed to a slurry. After 4 weeks of storage under anaerobic conditions at 15  °C, the NH4 + N content exceeded the original urinary N content of the slurry; the NH4 + content increased only slightly during the following 16 weeks of storage. After 4 weeks of storage, the proportion of slurry C in volatile fatty acids (VFA) amounted to 10% and increased to 15% after 20 weeks. Straw addition to the slurry caused an increase of VFA-C in stored slurry, but had a negligible influence on the proportion of slurry N in the form of NH4 +. Slurries subjected to different storage conditions were added to a sandy and a sandy loam soil. After 1 week, the preceding storage period (0–20 weeks) and temperature (5  °C or 15  °C) had no significant effect on the net release of inorganic N from the slurry in soil. Thus, the increased NH4 + content in the slurry after storage was followed by increased net N immobilization in soil. Additional straw in the slurry caused increased net N immobilization only in the sandy loam soil. Following anaerobic storage, 8–14% of slurry C was released in gaseous form, and the net mineralization of slurry C after 12 weeks in soil amounted to 54–63%. The extra net mineralization of C in soil due to straw in slurry was equivalent to 76% of straw C, suggesting that the straw accelerated the mineralization of C derived from faeces, urine and/or soil.
