Agricultural activities release variable products into air, soil and water ecosystems. The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of agriculture and concentrated livestock operations on stream and lake water quality in Grand Lake St. Marys watershed of north-western Ohio. Temporal water samples from the lake and the 6 feeding streams were collected bimonthly from January 2005 to May 2007, processed and measured for temperature, turbidity, pH, electrical conductivity (E C), ammonium $\left( {{\text{NH}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{ + }} } \right)$ , nitrate $\left( {{\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}^ - } \right)$ , dissolved phosphorus (P), ultra-violet (UV) light absorption, and dissolved oxygen (DO), employing standard methods of analysis. The measured data were normalized and integrated into a simple index (WQIndex) to evaluate overall water quality. Results showed that over 90% of the area in the watershed was under cropland with associated livestock operations. With a land area equal to 195 km2 represented by the six major tributaries, the average animal density was over 240 units km?2. As a result, land disposal of manure from confined feedings operations and direct deposit by grazing animals contributed to non-point sources of water pollution. While $\left( {{\text{NH}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{ + }} } \right)$ and P concentration, turbidity, and UV absorption peaked during the summer, the $\left( {{\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}^ - } \right)$ and DO concentration in both stream and lake water was lowest in the summer. Water sampled from the Coldwater, Beaver and Prairie creeks had higher turbidity, $\left( {{\text{NH}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{ + }} } \right)$ , and P than other creeks. However, DO concentration and UV absorption of water did not change significantly by the influence of streams. The WQIndex peaked in both streams and lake water with greater water quality degradation in Beaver and Coldwater creek than other creeks. A significant relationship of WQIndex with UV absorption and P accounted 84 to 90% of the variations in stream and lake water quality degradation. However, a strong linear relationship (r 2?=?0.81; p<0.01) between UV absorption and P concentration suggested a major contribution of P to the degradation of stream and lake water quality through algal blooming and associated eutrophication.  相似文献

In this study, gross nitrogen (N) mineralisation rates were determined in six pasture soils (Fleming, Kairanga, Karapoti, Lismore, Templeton and Waikoikoi) from three different regions of New Zealand. The soils were kept under controlled soil water potential (–10 to –30 kPa) and temperature (12–20°C) conditions in a glasshouse. The gross N mineralisation rates ranged from 0.76 to 5.87 g N g–1 soil day–1 in the six soils and were positively correlated with the amount of amino acid-N (AA-N), ammonia-N (NH3-N), total hydrolysable-N (TH-N), microbial biomass-carbon (MB-C), microbial biomass-N (MB-N), protease activity and organic C and N. A stepwise regression was used to generate equations that could best describe gross N mineralisation rates. Microbial biomass-carbon and AA-N were included in the equation that best described the gross N mineralisation rate:
The total amounts of N mineralised over the 1-year period were equivalent to between 492 and 1,351 kg N ha–1 year–1. Assuming mineralisation continues at a steady state throughout the year, this represents between 12 and 26% of the total organic N mineralised per year in these pasture soils.  相似文献

Twelve monthly measurements were made of the δ18O of the water and of the dissolved sulfates in inlet streams and in outlet streams of lakes in three watersheds in the Adirondack Park region of New York. The average \(\delta ^{18} {\text{O}}_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}}\) of the surface waters (streams and lakes) of the three watersheds was in the typical range of seasonally varying \(\delta ^{18} {\text{O}}_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}}\) of precipitation water, whereas the \(\delta ^{18} {\text{O}}_{{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}^{{\text{2 - }}} }\) of the surface waters was significantly lower than the typical range of seasonally varying \(\delta ^{18} {\text{O}}_{{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}^{{\text{2 - }}} }\) in precipitation water. Two possible causes for the apparent alteration of δ18O of the sulfates during percolation of the water through various strata in the ground link between the atmosphere and the watershed lakes are: (1) bacterial redox cycling, in which the sulfate is reduced, allowing isotopic equilibration between the HS03 ? ion and associated water, and then catalytically reoxidized to sulfate; and (2) ion exchange, in which the soil strata, containing chemically fixed sulfates, behave as a “column” that is not in sulfate-ion equilibrium with sulfates in the atmospheric recharge water.  相似文献

A rhizobox with three compartments and soil slicing followed by quick freezing were used to study the spatiotemporal variations of nitrification of rhizospheric soil of Yangdao 6 (Indica) and Nongken 57 (Japonica). The results obtained revealed that ammonium () was the main N form in flooded paddy soil. A concentration gradient for was observed with the lowest concentration nearer to the root zone and the concentrations increased with increasing distance from the root zone. No concentration gradient was observed for nitrate (). The nitrification activities of both rice cultivars increased with the development of the incubation time. The nitrification activities were maximal in rhizospheric soil, followed by those in bulk soil and in the root zone. In the rhizosphere, nitrification activities decreased with increasing distance from the root zone. The maximal nitrification activity measured at 44, 51, and 58 days after sowing of Yangdao 6 and Nongken 57 rice cultivars was at a distance of 6 and 2 mm away from the root zone, respectively, and they were 0.88 and 0.73 mg kg−1 h−1, respectively. In this experiment, the nitrification activities were significantly and positively correlated with the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) abundance (r=0.86, p<0.01). The nitrification activity, concentration, AOB abundance, dry matter and N accumulation and leaf reductase activity associated with Indica were always higher than those with Japonica. Therefore, nitrification in rhizosphere had more important significance for N nutrition, especially for the Indica rice cultivars.  相似文献

The chemical composition of precipitation in the city of Mersin on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey has been studied. Spatial and temporal variability of rainwater constituents have been determined from samples collected at two central and two suburban stations for the December 2003–May 2005 period. A total of 246 samples covering all precipitation events were analyzed to determine pH, conductivity, as well as major anion (Cl?, ${\text{NO}}_3^ - $ , ${\text{SO}}_4^{2 - } $ ); major cation (H+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, ${\text{NH}}_4^ + $ ) and formaldehyde (HCHO) concentrations. The pH varied within a range of 4.8–8.5, with only 8 out of 246 samples being acidic (pH?<?5.6), and the remaining highly alkaline samples being neutralized by either ${\text{NH}}_4^ + $ in rainwater, or by CaCO3 resulting from wet deposition of atmospheric dust. The volume weighted mean ΣAnion/ΣCation ratio was 0.49. The equivalent concentration of major ionic species followed the order: ${\text{Ca}}^{2 + } > {\text{HCO}}_3^ - > {\text{SO}}_4^{2 - } > {\text{Cl}}^ - > {\text{NH}}_4^ + > {\text{Na}}^ + > {\text{Mg}}^{2 + } > {\text{NO}}_3^ - > {\text{K}}^ + > {\text{H}}^ + $ . Formaldehyde concentrations varied in the range of 0.01–17.9 μM, and was found to be dependent on precipitation volume. Relatively higher ${\text{NH}}_4^ + $ , ${\text{SO}}_4^{2 - } $ , ${\text{NO}}_3^ - $ and HCHO concentrations, mainly of anthropogenic origin, measured near the city center suggest increased pollution from local anthropogenic sources, e.g., residential heating, industrial and/or traffic emissions. In general, the results of this study suggest local precipitation chemistry is more strongly influenced by natural (mineral dust and marine) sources compared to anthropogenic ones.  相似文献

We have investigated the effect of two nitrification inhibitors, 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) and dicyandiamide (DCD), on the accumulation of and after incorporation of cauliflower residues in incubation experiments. Cauliflower leaves were incubated with soil and DCD or DMPP at two application rates [8.93 and 17.9 mg active component (ac) kg−1 for DCD; 0.89 and 1.79 mg ac kg−1 for DMPP]. Both doses of DCD and DMPP increased on average by 18.9 and 26.0 mg N kg−1 for DCD1 (during 30 days) and DCD2 (during 45 days), respectively, and on average by 14.4 mg N kg−1 for DMPP1 and DMPP2 during a period of at least 95 days. In DCD-treated soils, data followed an S-shaped curve, indicating that nitrification restarted during the experiment: inhibition was on average 24% during 35 days for DCD1 and on average 45% during 49 days for DCD2. Thereafter, amount in DCD-treated soils exceeded that of the cauliflower-only treatment by 31% for DCD1 and 78% for DCD2, probably due to a nitrogen release from DCD itself and a priming effect induced by DCD. In DMPP-treated soils, data followed a linear pattern since nitrification was inhibited during the complete incubation (95 days): inhibition was on average 56 and 64% for DMPP1 and DMPP2, respectively. DMPP did not affect the N mineralization of the crop residues. Under favourable conditions, DCD is able to inhibit the nitrification from crop residues for 50 days and DMPP for at least 95 days. Hence, especially DMPP shows a potential to reduce leaching after incorporation of crop residues.  相似文献

Few studies have been carried out on nitrification potential of marsh soils in natural saline wetlands with high alkalinity. The nitrification potentials of a closed wetland and an open wetland were monitored by an aerobic incubation at 25°C for 28 days. The relative nitrification index ( RNI,\frac\textNO3- \text - NNO3- - N + NH4+ - N ) \left( {{\hbox{RNI,}}\frac{{{\text{NO}}_3^{-} {\text{ - N}}}}{{{\hbox{NO}}_3^{-} {\hbox{ - N}} + {\hbox{NH}}_4^{+} {\hbox{ - N}}}}} \right) rapidly increased with time in both wetlands and decreased with depth in soil profiles in both wetlands within the first 21 days. Nitrification proceeded much faster in the closed wetland than in the open wetland. The higher rate of nitrogen removal in closed wetlands than open wetland was probably due to the fast nitrification followed by denitrification or leaching loss.  相似文献

A 3-month field experiment comparing nitrogen (N) losses from and the agronomic efficiency of various N fertilizers was conducted on a sandy loam (Typic Hapludand) soil at Ruakura AgResearch farm, Hamilton, New Zealand during October to December 2003. Three replicates of seven treatments: urea, urea + the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (trade name Agrotain), urea + Agrotain + elemental sulphur (S), urea + double inhibitor [DI; i.e., Agrotain + dicyandiamide (DCD)], diammonium phosphate (DAP), DAP + S, each applied at 150 kg N ha−1, and control (no N). After fertilizer application, soil ammonium () and nitrate () concentrations (7.5-cm soil depth), ammonia (NH3) volatilization, nitrate () leaching, nitrous oxide (N2O) emission, pasture dry matter, and N uptake were monitored at different timings. Urea applied with Agrotain or Agrotain + S delayed urea hydrolysis and released soil at a slower rate than urea alone or urea + DI. Urea applied with DI increased NH3 volatilization by 29% over urea alone, while urea + Agrotain and urea + Agrotain + S reduced NH3 volatilization by 45 and 48%, respectively. Ammonia volatilization losses from DAP were lower than those from urea with or without inhibitors. Total reduction in leaching losses for urea + DI and urea + Agrotain compared to urea alone were 89% and 47%, respectively. Application of S with urea + Agrotain reduced leaching losses by an additional 6%. Nitrous oxide emissions were higher from the DAP and urea alone treatments. Urea applied with DI and urea + Agrotain reduced N2O emissions by 37 and 5%, respectively, over urea alone. Compared to urea alone, total pasture production increased by 20, 17, and 15% for urea + Agrotain + S, urea + Agrotain, and urea + DI treatments, respectively, representing 86, 71, and 64% increases in N response efficiency. Total N uptake in urea + Agrotain, urea + Agrotain + S, and urea + DI increased by 29, 22, and 20%, respectively, compared to urea alone. These results suggest that the combination of both urease and nitrification inhibitors may have the most potential to reduce N losses and improve pasture production in intensively grazed systems.  相似文献

This paper analyses the influence of activated sludge technologies on the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) of urban wastewater treatment plants operating under real conditions. The activated sludge treatment systems selected for the analysis are the most widely used in wastewater treatment installations: (a) double step activated sludge, (b) medium load activated sludge, (c) prolonged aeration, and (d) membrane bioreactors The main quality parameters (suspended solids, turbidity, and COD) and PSD in the influent and effluent of each different activated sludge treatment were analyzed during 1?year. The PSD was fitted using the power law ( $ n\left( {{d_{\text{P}}}} \right) = \frac{{\partial {\text{N}}\left( {{d_{\text{p}}}} \right)}}{{\partial {d_{\text{p}}}}} = A \cdot d_{\text{p}}^{{ - b \cdot {\text{Log}}\left( {{d_{\text{p}}}} \right)}} $ ) obtaining coefficients A and b to define the particle distribution. Mathematical correlations between this coefficients and the rest of parameters studied were found $ \left( {\matrix{ {{\text{SS}} = {0}{.0126} \cdot {A^{{{0}{.781}}}},} &{{\text{Turbidity}} = 15.5814 + 1.164 \cdot {{10}^3} \cdot A{,}} &{{\text{COD}} = \frac{{1}}{{{0}{.0133} + \cdot \frac{{{49}{.85}}}{\text{A}}}}} \\ }<!end array> } \right) $ . The relation with the average particle size by mass was also found, ( $ {d_{\text{pma}}} = - 11.6502 + \frac{{50.4265}}{b} $ ). Moreover, a relation between PSD and the particle elimination efficiency of the secondary treatment was study, ( $ \eta = 0.1434 - \frac{{0.5602}}{{{A_{\text{rel}}}}} + \frac{{0.7490}}{{{b_{\text{rel}}}}} $ ). Finally, the particulate matter nature was assessed by SEM-EDX. It can be concluded that membrane bioreactor is the technology that produces the best water quality effluent due to physic process of particle separation by ultrafiltration membrane technology.  相似文献

In the present study, a comparative assessment of 2,4,6-T (2,4,6-Trichlorophenol) degradation by different AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes – UV, UV/ H2O2, Fenton, UV/Fenton and UV/TiO2) in the laboratory scale is performed. The effects of different reactant concentrations and pH are assessed. 2,4,6-T removal, Total Organic Carbon mineralization (TOC) and dechlorination are monitored. Of all the AOPs, UV/Fenton process is more effective in degrading 2,4,6-T. The optimum conditions obtained for the best degradation with UV/Fenton are: pH?=?3, Fe+2 concentration of about 5 ppm, and peroxide concentration of 100 ppm for an initial 100 ppm of 2,4,6 T concentration at room temperature. In these conditions, a pseudo first-order rate constant is evaluated. The degradation rate of 2,4,6 T followed the order: $$ {{{\text{UV}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{UV}}} {{\text{Feton}}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{Feton}}}} > {{{\text{UV}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{UV}}} {{\text{TiO}}_{\text{2}} > {{{\text{UV}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{UV}}} {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}_{\text{2}} > {\text{Feton}}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}_{\text{2}} > {\text{Feton}}}}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{TiO}}_{\text{2}} > {{{\text{UV}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{UV}}} {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}_{\text{2}} > {\text{Feton}}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}_{\text{2}} > {\text{Feton}}}}}} > {\text{UV}} $$   相似文献

Few studies are conducted to quantify the effects of enhanced N deposition on soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emission and methane (CH4) uptake in the meadow steppe of Inner Mongolia,China.A two-year field experiment was conducted to assess the effects of nitrogen (N) deposition rates (0,10,and 20 kg N ha-1 year-1 as (NH4)2SO4) on soil N2O and CH4 fluxes.The seasonal and diurnal variations of soil N2O and CH4 fluxes were determined using the static chamber-gas chromatography method during the two growing seasons of 2008 and 2009.Soil temperature,moisture and mineral N (NH4+-N and NO3--N) concentration were simultaneously measured.Results showed that low level of (NH4)2SO4 (10 kg N ha-1 year-1) did not significantly affect soil CH4 and N2O fluxes and other variables.High level of (NH4)2SO4 (20 kg N ha-1 year-1) significantly increased soil NO3--N concentration by 24.1％ to 35.6％,decreased soil CH4 uptake by an average of 20.1％,and significantly promoted soil N2O emission by an average of 98.2％.Soil N2O emission responded more strongly to the added N compared to CH4 uptake.However,soil CH4 fluxes were mainly driven by soil moisture,followed by soil NO3--N concentration.Soil N2O fluxes were mainly driven by soil temperature,followed by soil moisture.Soil inorganic N availability was a key integrator of soil CH4 uptake and N2O emission.These results suggest that the changes of availability of inorganic N induced by the increased N deposition in soil may affect the CH4 and N2O fluxes in the cold semi-arid meadow steppe over the short term.  相似文献

Changes of three-layer clay minerals by native K in holocene loess derived soils of Central Germany and Lower Bavaria . Transformations of the clay minerals illite, vermiculite and smectite were determined in Central German (31 profiles) and Lower Bavarian loess districts (5 profiles) using 31–36 soil properties. To get significant differences between solum and sediment, the multivariate diskriminant analysis was applied. In the Central German loess district the following properties were crucial, to receive significant separation between solum-horizons and sediments: smectite content, several values of potassium fixation, interlattice potassium. Important were also some parameter of the K-Ca-exchange curve: Activity ratio \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left({\frac{{{\rm aK}}}{{\sqrt {{\rm aCa}}}}} \right) $\end{document} of a soil solution in equilibrium with a soil (ARo), buffering capacity of the soil for K at equilibrium (BCKE), labile K(K1), exchange capacity of the exchange sites with a specific affinity for K minus labile K(ECx—K1). The differences of these values can be explained by assuming that (at pH 6–7) the beidellitic layers of smectites of the parent loess were transformed to illitic layers in the solum-horizons. In the Lower Bavarian loess landscape potassium fixation, total K in clay fraction (< 2 μm) and the parameters of the K-Ca-exchange curve indicate the same clay mineral transformation as in Central Germany. Smectite values were not introduced to the diskriminant function, because they were highly significantly correlated with potassium fixation. In this case potassium fixation has caused a better separation between the solum-horizons and the parent loess than X-ray data. From these results, from total -K of the fraction 2–20μm (solum-horizons smaller than sediments) and the vermiculite content fo the clay fraction, it can be concluded, that the rate of potassium release from micas and the rate of potassium fixation by beidellitic sheets during the Holocene period were nearly equal.  相似文献

The relevance of fixed in certain soils and its categorisation has made it necessary to re-examine N behaviour. A replicate factorial experiment was designed to investigate the influence of soil type, soil moisture and fertiliser source and rate on fixation dynamics with particular attention to the distribution between weakly and strongly fixed pools. Fixation of was <20% of added N for all soils except River Estate. The percentage of added N present as fixed was greater for the low application rate. Soil moisture did not significantly influence weakly fixed . However, the dry soil treatment showed greater fertiliser 15N present as strongly fixed . Fertiliser 15N present as weakly and strongly fixed decreased and increased, respectively, at the second sampling, indicating movement between the pools. The importance of the weakly fixed fraction as a transitory pool between strongly fixed and available was observed.  相似文献

A field survey on the concentration of chemical species in particulate matter and gaseous compounds at two monitoring sites with different site classifications (urban and rural) was conducted over three years. Total (particulate matter + gaseous compounds) concentrations at the rural site were significantly lower than those at the urban site for all species (sulfur $\left( {{\text{SO}}^{{{\text{2 - }}}}_{{\text{4}}} {\left( {\text{p}} \right)}} \right.$ and SO2(g)), nitrate ${\text{(NO}}_{{{\text{3}}^{{\text{ - }}} }} {\left( {\text{p}} \right)}$ and HNO3(g)), ammonium ${\text{(NH}}_{{{\text{4}}^{{\text{ + }}} }} {\text{(p)}})$ and ammonia (NH3(g)), and chloride (Cl? (p) and HCl (g))), which is thought to reflect classification of the site. The difference in the sulfur concentration at the urban and rural sites was characterized by the difference in SO2 (g) concentration. Further, a clear seasonality was observed for the nitrate species. The HNO3 (g) concentration was high in the summer compared with other seasons at both the urban and rural sites. The ${\text{NH}}_4^ + \left( {\text{p}} \right)$ concentration levels were approximately the same as those of NH3 (g) at both sites. The molar ratios of the particulate matter concentration to the total concentration showed different characteristics; the nitrate, ammonium and ammonia, and chloride species showed a clear seasonal variation: low in summer and high in winter and the values were similar regardless of the site. On the other hand, the sulfur species showed constant values at both the urban and rural sites, however the concentrations were significantly different for the two sites. Ammonium accounted for the largest proportion of cations in the particulate matter, regardless of the site classification. In contrast, ${\text{SO}}_4^{2 - } \left( {\text{p}} \right)$ accounted for the largest proportion of anions at the rural site, whereas ${\text{NO}}_3^ - \left( {\text{p}} \right)$ was comparable to ${\text{SO}}_4^{2 - } \left( {\text{p}} \right)$ at the urban site. Ammonia accounted for the largest proportion of all chemical species at both sites. Seasonal analysis of the proportional distribution in particulate matter and gaseous compounds provides information on atmospheric conditions.  相似文献

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Plant Genetic Resources Conservation Unit in Griffin, GA maintains the United States germplasm collection for Ipomoea spp. (Convolvulaceae). During 2012–2014, 737 sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., plant introductions (PI) were acquired as tissue-culture plantlets and then acclimated to greenhouse conditions at the USDA, ARS, U. S. Vegetable Laboratory (USVL), Charleston, SC. Single plants were transferred to plastic-covered plant beds to produce cuttings for replicated field trials. Storage roots were harvested from 690 PIs grown in the field and 695 PIs grown in pots. Color coordinates were obtained for each PI using a tristimulus colorimeter. Hue angle values (h*) ranged from 8.2° to 88.3° (\( \bar{x} \) = 54.9°) for the periderm (peel or skin) of field-grown storage roots (n = 690 PIs) and ? 9.4° (= 350.6°) to 96.2° (\( \bar{x} \) = 51.3°) for pot-grown roots (n = 695 PIs). The red–green coordinate (a*) ranged from 0.8 to 30.7 (\( \bar{x} \) = 12.8) for the periderm of field-grown roots and ? 2.0 to 44.9 (\( \bar{x} \) = 16.1) for pot-grown roots. The yellow–blue coordinate (b*) ranged from 2.8 to 33.1 (\( \bar{x} \) = 19.4) for the periderm of field-grown roots and ? 7.4 to 38.1 (\( \bar{x} \) = 19.3) for pot-grown roots. Color saturation (chroma, C*) ranged from 13.7 to 35.8 (\( \bar{x} \) = 24.9) for the periderm of field-grown roots and 14.9–45.5 (\( \bar{x} \) = 29.3) for pot-grown roots. Lightness (white–black, L*) ranged from 32.6 to 81.7 (\( \bar{x} \) = 54.6) for the periderm of field-grown roots and 32.1–88.2 (\( \bar{x} \) = 64.0) for pot-grown roots. Hue angles ranged from ? 13.1° (= 346.9°) to 100.9° (\( \bar{x} \) = 80.9°) for the stele (flesh) of field-grown storage roots (n = 672 PIs) and ? 29.9° to 103.5° (\( \bar{x} \) = 81.6°) for pot-grown roots (n = 676 PIs); a* ranged from ? 5.6 to 35.0 (\( \bar{x} \) = 8.0) for the stele of field-grown roots and ? 6.0 to 41.0 (\( \bar{x} \) = 7.6) for pot-grown roots; and b* ranged from ? 7.7 to 56.1 (\( \bar{x} \) = 34.6) for the stele of field-grown roots and ? 12.6 to 56.1 (\( \bar{x} \) = 31.8) for pot-grown roots. C* ranged from 12.7 to 65.8 (\( \bar{x} \) = 37.2) for the stele of field-grown roots and 8.9–65.7 (\( \bar{x} \) = 34.5) for pot-grown roots; and L* ranged from 27.8 to 91.1 (\( \bar{x} \) = 77.7) for the stele of field-grown roots and 28.2–91.9 (\( \bar{x} \) = 80.4) for pot-grown roots. There were significant relationships between stele color (h*) and percent dry matter, with orange stele having a significantly lower % dry matter (\( \bar{x} \) = 25.6%, n = 183) compared with roots with cream/white stele (\( \bar{x} \) = 30.8%, n = 373). There appears to be wide genetic diversity for root color characteristics for the United States sweetpotato germplasm collection.  相似文献

Cover crop and nitrogen(N) fertilization may maintain soil organic matter under bioenergy perennial grass where removal of aboveground biomass for feedstock to produce cellulosic ethanol can reduce soil quality. We evaluated the effects of cover crops and N fertilization rates on soil organic carbon(C)(SOC), total N(STN), ammonium N(NH_4-N), and nitrate N(NO_3-N) contents at the0–5, 5–15, and 15–30 cm depths under perennial bioenergy grass from 2010 to 2014 in the southeastern USA. Treatments included unbalanced combinations of perennial bioenergy grass, energy cane(Saccharum spontaneum L.) or elephant grass(Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.), cover crop, crimson clover(Trifolium incarnatum L.), and N fertilization rates(0, 100, and 200 kg N ha~(-1)). Cover crop biomass and C and N contents were greater in the treatment of energy cane with cover crop and 100 kg N ha~(-1) than in the treatment of energy cane and elephant grass. The SOC and STN contents at 0–5 and 5–15 cm were 9%–20% greater in the treatments of elephant grass with cover crop and with or without 100 kg N ha~(-1)than in most of the other treatments. The soil NO_3-N content at 0–5 cm was 31%–45% greater in the treatment of energy cane with cover crop and 100 kg N ha~(-1)than in most of the other treatments.The SOC sequestration increased from 0.1 to 1.0 Mg C ha~(-1)year~(-1)and the STN sequestration from 0.03 to 0.11 Mg N ha~(-1)year~(-1)from 2010 to 2014 for various treatments and depths. In contrast, the soil NH_4-N and NO_3-N contents varied among treatments,depths, and years. Soil C and N storages can be enriched and residual NO_3-N content can be reduced by using elephant grass with cover crop and with or without N fertilization at a moderate rate.  相似文献

A laboratory incubation trial and a field litterbag study were conducted to determine the rate and magnitude of mineralization of dairy manure N components in a south central Wisconsin silt loam. Dairy manure components (urine, feces, or bedding, each 15N-labeled and the other components left unlabeled) were incubated in soil at 11, 18, or 25°C. Samples were taken at 14, 21, 42, 84, and 168 days and analyzed for mineralized N ( and ) and 15N abundance in the inorganic and organic fraction (at day 168 only). In the field study, nylon mesh (38 μm) litterbags filled with 15N-labeled manure (2000) or unlabeled manure (2000 and 2002) were placed 7.5 cm below the surface and excavated at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 (2000 only), 42, 56, 84, 98, and 126 days after burial and at corn (Zea mays L.) harvest, after 142 days in 2002 and 154 days in 2000. In the incubation study, 50−60% of applied urine N was mineralized showing the importance of this manure N component as a source of plant available N. About 14−19% of applied N was mineralized from the fecal and bedding components. In the litterbag experiment, approximately 70% of the dry mass and 67% of the N was mineralized from the litterbags with similar amounts measured using either labeled or unlabeled N.

Fluxes of major ions in rainfall (RF), throughfall plus stemflow (TF + SF), and stream water (SW) were measured for five water years in a small catchment of a Japanese cedar forest near the Sea of Japan. The fluxes of most ions in RF and in TF + SF, including the non-sea-salt constituents, increased from late autumn to midwinter owing to the seasonal westerly wind. The concentrations of most ions in SW showed no obvious seasonal trend during the study period, whereas ${\text{NO}}_3 ^ - $ concentrations were lowest in summer, with a small seasonality. The Ca2+ and Mg2+ outputs in SW were approximately 3.7 and 1.8 times the TF + SF inputs of these cations, respectively. The large net outputs of base cations in the catchment may indicate a decrease in the soil's acid-neutralizing capacity. Annual dissolved inorganic nitrogen inputs in RF and in TF + SF were 17.7 and 17.9 kg N ha?1 year?1, respectively, which exceeded previously published thresholds in Europe and the U.S. (i.e., the values at which these inputs increased ${\text{NO}}_3 ^ - $ levels in SW) and equaled the highest level of nitrogen deposition previously reported in Japan. The ${\text{NO}}_{\text{3}} ^{\text{ - }} $ concentrations in SW were relatively high even in summer. During high-precipitation events, ${\text{NO}}_{\text{3}} ^{\text{ - }} $ concentrations in SW increased with increasing water discharge, and the pH decreased simultaneously during several events. Nitrogen deposition may contribute to the high ${\text{NO}}_{\text{3}} ^{\text{ - }} $ concentrations in SW and the temporary acidification that occurred during the rain events.  相似文献

本研究选取云南省主要种植作物——烤烟为试验材料,分析烤烟不同生育期(团棵期、现蕾期、成熟期)的根系固土能力特征。应用锚杆拉力计和自行设计的剪切箱对不同生育期烤烟根系的固土能力在0~10 cm和0~20 cm土层进行原位测定。结果表明:同一生育期,根系密度表现为0~10 cm0~20 cm;同一土壤深度范围内,根系密度表现为成熟期现蕾期团棵期。相同深度范围内,固土能力表现为成熟期现蕾期团棵期;在现蕾期和成熟期,固土能力表现为0~10 cm0~20 cm,而团棵期由于根系尚未深扎至20 cm深度,只有在样方的塑性变形阶段的固土能力,表现为0~10 cm0~20 cm;同一生育期相同深度范围内,载荷与位移间呈现显著的直线相关关系(P0.01)。随着载荷的增加,将出现载荷临界点F1、F2和F3,F1为比例极限点,F2为屈服拉力点,F3为抗拉极限点。相同深度,F1与根系密度间无明显相关关系,F2和F3分别与根系密度间呈显著幂函数关系。在0~10 cm,F2与根系密度和F3与根系密度的相关方程分别为y=1.313x0.042和y=1.379x0.084;在0~20 cm,F2与根系密度和F3与根系密度的相关方程分别为y=1.389x0.048和y=1.638x0.077。该测定方法可以在水土保持上作为评价不同作物(植物)固土能力的有效参考手段,建立不同作物根系固土数据库,为坡耕地作物配置提供理论依据。  相似文献

Daily air and precipitation chemistry observations at six rural locations in eastern Canada were analyzed to obtain wet and dry deposition. Dry deposition was calculated from air concentrations using deposition velocities originating from a recent literature review and synthesis exercise involving land use types. Total annual deposition ranges for \({\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{ = }} \) from 10 to 86 mmol m?2 and for \({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{ - }} \) excluding N02 contributions to dry deposition from 13 to 62 mmol m?2. Dry deposition accounts for an estimated 22 and 21% of the total \({\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{ = }} \) and \({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{ - }} \) deposition, respectively. For \({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{ - }} \) , this fraction increases to 30% if N02 concentration to dry deposition is included. There is a marked seasonal variation in total \({\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{ = }} \) deposition but not in that of \({\text{NO}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{ - }} \) . Both wet and dry deposition are episodic. 20% of daily events deliver between 47 and 70% of the deposition.  相似文献
