The results show that maize yield, surface runoff, nitrogen loss from subsurface flow, and N2O emission in the control group was far lower than that in the fertilization treatments, revealing that fertilization was the main reason for nitrogen loss and N2O emission. Among the four treat- ments, nitrogen loss from subsurface flow in the treatment CR was the highest, up to 31.7 kg/hm^2, but N2O emission was 0.35 kg/hm^2, which was 37% less than that in the treatment UR. Nitrogen loss from subsurface flow in the treatment 25% CR was the lowest, only 20.9 kg/hm^2, and N2O emission was 15% less than that in the treatment UR. Nitrogen was slowly released from controlled release nitrogen fertilizer in the growth period, and controlled release nitrogen fertilizer could reduce N2O emis- .sion from slope cultivated land due to low content of soil inorganic nitrogen, but it could increase the nitrogen loss from subsurface flow. Therefore, the combination of controlled release fertilizer and urea can not only reduce N2O emission but also de- crease nitrogen loss from subsurface flow.展开更多

The results showed that the continuous application of fertilizer in agricultural soils increased N\-2O emissions by a factor of 24.1—28.1, the calculated annual chemical N fertilizer\|transformed N\-2O\|N emissions was 0.67%. Our results indicated that the application of organic manure also had a significant influence on soil N 2O emissions, which combined with the use of chemical N increased about 20% in a year. It was calculated that there were about 0.11% N of organic manure transformed as N 2O N. Annual mean N 2O emission from our study area of fertilized soils was estimated to be 57.1 μgN 2O/(m 2·h). A weak correlation was also found between N 2O emissions and soil available nitrogen content NH + 4.展开更多

Laboratory study on CH4 oxidation and N2O emission in forest soil showed that fresh soil sample could oxidize atmospheric methane and product N2O. Air-dried soil sample could not oxidize atmospheric methane, but could produCt N2O. However, it could oxidize the supplied methane quickly when its concentration was higher than 20 μL·L-1. The oxidation rate of methane was increased with its initial concentration. An addition of water to dry soil caused large pulse of N2O emissions within 2 hours. There were curvilinear correlations between N2O emission and temperature (r2=0.706, p <0.05), and between N2O emission andtwater content (r2=0.2968. p <0.05). These suggested temperature and water content were important factors controlling N2O emission. The correlation between CH4 oxidization and temperature was also found while CH4 was supplied 200 μL·L-1 (r2 =0.3573, p<0.05). Temperature was an important f8Ctor controlling CH4 oxidation. However, when 20 μL·L-1 CH4 was supplied, there was no correlation among CH4 oxidization, N2O emission, temperature and water content.展开更多

In the laboratory (25℃ and soil moisture 18%), cultivation increased soil transformations of fertilizer nitrogen (100 μg N/g as NaNO 3, urea, or as urea with dicyandiamide 1 μg N/g). The N 2O emissions from the cultivated and uncultivated soils with or without nitrogen additions were relatively low, and mainly originated from the nitrification. The soil N 2O emission due to cultivation decreased somewhat upon no fertilization or NaNO 3 addition, but significantly upon urea addition. The role of dicyandiamide as nitrification inhibitor was only considerable in the cultivated soil, and had small influence on decreasing N 2O emission in the two soils. The influence of cultivation on soil N 2O emission was also reflected by the number variations of microbes related with soil nitrogen transformation in the two soils. Compared to the uncultivated grassland, in situ ammonifiers and denitrifiers in the cultivated grassland quantitatively averagely increased, and aerobic no symbiotic azotobacters were quantitatively similar, leading to the continued decrease of organic matter content and the decrease of N 2O emission from the cultivated grassland soil.展开更多

Both N2O reduction and CO2 emissions were inhibited by the addition of 100 mL L-1 of C2H2. However, the inhibition to CO2 emission was alleviated by the replacement of headspace gas, and the N2O emission was enhanced by the replacement. Acetylene disappeared evidently from the soil slumes during the incubation. Consequently results obtained from the traditional C2H2 blocking technique for determination of denitrification rate, especially in a long-time incubation, should be explained with care because of its side effect existing in the incubation environments without change of headspace gas. To reduce the possible side effect on the processes other than denitrification, it is suggested that headspace gas should be replaced several times during a long-time incubation.展开更多

The model is driven by local meteorological, soil, and physiological data and is validated for 1999 and 2000 at a site in the region, which showed that the simulated N_2O emissions agree fairly well with the observed data. This adds some confidence in the estimated N_2O emissions during 1950 and 2000 in the Hangzhou Region. A significant correlation between the N_2O emissions and the population for the Hangzhou Region is found, which is due to a combination of increased application of fertilizers and cultivated area. Such a correlation can not be established for the whole Yangtze River Delta region when the data of both urban and rural areas are included. However, when the data from the heavily urbanized areas are excluded, a significant correlation between population and N_2O emissions emerges. The results show clearly that both the temporal and the spatial N_2O emissions have significant positive relationship with population under traditional farming practice. These results have implications for suitable mitigation options towards a sustainable agriculture and environment in this region.展开更多

We simulated the soil N2O emission during a whole rice-wheat rotation cycle(from Nov. 1, 1996 to Oct. 31, 1997) under three different conditions, which are A) no fertilizer, B)both chemical fertilizer and manure and, C) chemical fertiliser only. The processes ofN2O emission were discussed in detail by comparing the model outputs with the results from fieldmeasurement. The comparison shows that the model is good at simulating most of theNzO emission pulses and trends. Although the simulated N2O emission fluxes are generally lessthan the measured ones, the model outputs during the dryland period, especially during the wheatreviving and maturing stages in spring, are much better than those during the paddy field period.Some sensitive experiments were made by simulating the N2O emissions in spring, when there is asmallest gap between the simulated fluxes and the measured ones. Meanwhile, the effects of someimportant regulating factors, such as the rainfall N deposition by rainfall, temperature, tillage, nitrogen fertilizer and manure application on N2O emission during this period were analyzed. Fromthe analysis, we draw a conclusion that soil moisture and fertilization are the most important regulating factors while the N2O emission is sensitive to some other factors, such as temperature, manure, tillage and the wet deposition of atmospheric nitrate.展开更多

The micrometeorological gradient diffusion method in conjunction with a Bowen Ratio system was utilized to measure actual NH3 fluxes over a large area, while the acetylene inhibition technique (intact soil cores) was employed for measurement of denitrification losses and N2O emissions. Ammonia volatilization loss was 26.62% of the applied fertilizer nitrogen (N) under maize, while 0.90% and 15.55% were lost from the wheat field at sowing and topdressing, respectively. The differences in NH3 volatilization between different measurement events may be due to differences between the fertilization methods, and to differences in climatic conditions such as soil temperature.Denitrification losses in the fertilized plots were 0.67%-2.87% and 0.31%-0.49% of the applied fertilizer N under maize and wheat after subtracting those of the controls, respectively. Nitrous oxide emissions in the fertilized plots were approximately 0.08%-0.41% and 0.26%-0.34% of the applied fertilizer N over the maize and wheat seasons after subtracting those of the controls, correspondingly. The fertilizer N losses due to NH3 volatilization were markedly higher than those through denitrification and nitrous oxide emissions. These results indicated that NH3 volatilization was an important N transformation in the crop-soil system and was likely to be the major cause of low efficiencies with N fertilizer in the study area. Denitrification was not a very important pathway of N fertilizer loss, but did result in important evolution of the greenhouse gas N2O and the effect of N2O emitted from agricultural fields on environment should not be overlooked.展开更多

文摘The combined effects of straw incorporation(SI)and polymer-coated urea(PCU)application on soil ammonia(NH_(3))and nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)emissions from agricultural fields have not been comprehensively evaluated in Northwest China.We conducted a two-year field experiment to assess the effects of combining SI with either uncoated urea(U)or PCU on soil NH_(3)emissions,N_(2)O emissions,winter wheat yields,yield-scaled NH_(3)(/NH_(3)),and yield-scaled N_(2)O(/N_(2)O).Five treatments were investigated,no nitrogen(N)fertilizer(N_(0)),U application at 150 kg N ha-1 with and without SI(SI+U and S_(0)+U),and PCU application at 150 kg N ha^(-1) with and without SI(SI+PCU and S_(0)+PCU).The results showed that the NH_(3);emissions increased by 20.98-34.35%following Sl compared to straw removal,mainly due to increases in soil ammonium(NH_(4)^(+)-N)content and water-flled pore space(WFPS).SI resulted in higher N_(2)O emissions than under the So scenario by 13.31-49.23%due to increases in soil inorganic N(SIN)contents,WFPS,and soil microbial biomass.In contrast,the PCU application reduced the SIN contents compared to the U application,reducing the NH_(3)and N_(2)O emissions by 45.99-58.07 and 18.08-53.04%,respectively.Moreover,no significant positive effects of the SI or PCU applications on the winter wheat yield were observed.The lowest /NH_(3) and /N_(2)O values were observed under the S_(0)+PCU and SI+PCU treatments.Our results suggest that single PCU applications and their combination with straw are the optimal agricultural strategies for mitigating gaseous N emissions and maintaining optimal winter wheat yields in Northwest China.

文摘Laboratory and in situ experiments were done to investigate the influences of cultivation on temperate semi arid grassland (for 17 years spring wheat planted once every two years without fertilization) on soil N 2O emission and quantitative variations of related soil microbes. In the laboratory (25℃ and soil moisture 18%), cultivation increased soil transformations of fertilizer nitrogen (100 μg N/g as NaNO 3, urea, or as urea with dicyandiamide 1 μg N/g). The N 2O emissions from the cultivated and uncultivated soils with or without nitrogen additions were relatively low, and mainly originated from the nitrification. The soil N 2O emission due to cultivation decreased somewhat upon no fertilization or NaNO 3 addition, but significantly upon urea addition. The role of dicyandiamide as nitrification inhibitor was only considerable in the cultivated soil, and had small influence on decreasing N 2O emission in the two soils. The influence of cultivation on soil N 2O emission was also reflected by the number variations of microbes related with soil nitrogen transformation in the two soils. Compared to the uncultivated grassland, in situ ammonifiers and denitrifiers in the cultivated grassland quantitatively averagely increased, and aerobic no symbiotic azotobacters were quantitatively similar, leading to the continued decrease of organic matter content and the decrease of N 2O emission from the cultivated grassland soil.
文摘To study effect of C2H2 and change of headspace gas on N2O emission, denitrification, as well as CO2emission, slumes of an agricultural soil were anaerobically incubated for 7 da3’s at 25 ℃. Both N2O reduction and CO2 emissions were inhibited by the addition of 100 mL L-1 of C2H2. However, the inhibition to CO2 emission was alleviated by the replacement of headspace gas, and the N2O emission was enhanced by the replacement. Acetylene disappeared evidently from the soil slumes during the incubation. Consequently results obtained from the traditional C2H2 blocking technique for determination of denitrification rate, especially in a long-time incubation, should be explained with care because of its side effect existing in the incubation environments without change of headspace gas. To reduce the possible side effect on the processes other than denitrification, it is suggested that headspace gas should be replaced several times during a long-time incubation.
文摘A biogeochemical model(DNDC) is combined with a plant ecological model to estimate N_2O emission from rice paddy fields in the Yangtze River Delta region. The model is driven by local meteorological, soil, and physiological data and is validated for 1999 and 2000 at a site in the region, which showed that the simulated N_2O emissions agree fairly well with the observed data. This adds some confidence in the estimated N_2O emissions during 1950 and 2000 in the Hangzhou Region. A significant correlation between the N_2O emissions and the population for the Hangzhou Region is found, which is due to a combination of increased application of fertilizers and cultivated area. Such a correlation can not be established for the whole Yangtze River Delta region when the data of both urban and rural areas are included. However, when the data from the heavily urbanized areas are excluded, a significant correlation between population and N_2O emissions emerges. The results show clearly that both the temporal and the spatial N_2O emissions have significant positive relationship with population under traditional farming practice. These results have implications for suitable mitigation options towards a sustainable agriculture and environment in this region.
文摘DNDC, a rainfall-driven and process-oriented model of soil carbon and nitrogenbiogeochemistry, is applied t0 simulate the nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural ecosystem inSoutheast China. We simulated the soil N2O emission during a whole rice-wheat rotation cycle(from Nov. 1, 1996 to Oct. 31, 1997) under three different conditions, which are A) no fertilizer, B)both chemical fertilizer and manure and, C) chemical fertiliser only. The processes ofN2O emission were discussed in detail by comparing the model outputs with the results from fieldmeasurement. The comparison shows that the model is good at simulating most of theNzO emission pulses and trends. Although the simulated N2O emission fluxes are generally lessthan the measured ones, the model outputs during the dryland period, especially during the wheatreviving and maturing stages in spring, are much better than those during the paddy field period.Some sensitive experiments were made by simulating the N2O emissions in spring, when there is asmallest gap between the simulated fluxes and the measured ones. Meanwhile, the effects of someimportant regulating factors, such as the rainfall N deposition by rainfall, temperature, tillage, nitrogen fertilizer and manure application on N2O emission during this period were analyzed. Fromthe analysis, we draw a conclusion that soil moisture and fertilization are the most important regulating factors while the N2O emission is sensitive to some other factors, such as temperature, manure, tillage and the wet deposition of atmospheric nitrate.

文摘Ammonia (NH3) volatilization, denitrification loss, and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission were investigated from an irrigated wheat-maize rotation field on the North China Plain, and the magnitude of gaseous N loss from denitrification and NH3 volatilization was assessed. The micrometeorological gradient diffusion method in conjunction with a Bowen Ratio system was utilized to measure actual NH3 fluxes over a large area, while the acetylene inhibition technique (intact soil cores) was employed for measurement of denitrification losses and N2O emissions. Ammonia volatilization loss was 26.62% of the applied fertilizer nitrogen (N) under maize, while 0.90% and 15.55% were lost from the wheat field at sowing and topdressing, respectively. The differences in NH3 volatilization between different measurement events may be due to differences between the fertilization methods, and to differences in climatic conditions such as soil temperature.Denitrification losses in the fertilized plots were 0.67%-2.87% and 0.31%-0.49% of the applied fertilizer N under maize and wheat after subtracting those of the controls, respectively. Nitrous oxide emissions in the fertilized plots were approximately 0.08%-0.41% and 0.26%-0.34% of the applied fertilizer N over the maize and wheat seasons after subtracting those of the controls, correspondingly. The fertilizer N losses due to NH3 volatilization were markedly higher than those through denitrification and nitrous oxide emissions. These results indicated that NH3 volatilization was an important N transformation in the crop-soil system and was likely to be the major cause of low efficiencies with N fertilizer in the study area. Denitrification was not a very important pathway of N fertilizer loss, but did result in important evolution of the greenhouse gas N2O and the effect of N2O emitted from agricultural fields on environment should not be overlooked.

文摘Environmental changes significantly alter the structure,diversity and activity of soil microbial communities during spring freezing-thawing period,leading to changes in the soil microbial nitrogen cycle.Changes in N_(2)O fluxes after land use conversion from primary forest to secondary forest,Korean pine plantation and cropland in northeast China have not been quantified.Field experiments were conducted to measure soil N_(2)O fluxes in a primary forest,two secondary forests,a Korean pine plantation,and one maize field in a temperate region in northeast China from 2017-03-06 to 2017-05-28.During the experimental period,the soil was exclusively a nitrogen source for all land uses.We found that N_(2)O emissions ranged from 15.63 to 68.74μg m^(-2) h^(-1),and cumulative N_(2)O emissions ranged from 0.33 to 2.10 kg ha^(-1) during the period.Cumulative N_(2)O emissions from the maize field were significantly higher than that from primary forest,Korean pine plantation,hardwood forest,and Betula platyphylla forest by 262.1% to 536.4%.Compared with other ecosystems in similar studies,the N_(2)O emission rates of all ecosystem types in this study were low during the spring thaw period.Stepwise multiple linear regression indicated that there were significant correlations between N_(2)O emissions and environmental factors(air temperature and soil temperature,soil water content,soil p H,NH_(4)^(+)-N,NO_(3)^(-)-N,and soil organic carbon).The results showed that conversion of land use from primary forest to hardwood forest,Korean pine plantation or maize field greatly increased soil N_(2)O emissions during spring freezing-thawing period,and N_(2)O emissions from primary forest were almost the same as those from Betula platyphylla forest.
文摘优化氮肥施用和秸秆还田技术为途径的农业管理措施被认为是提升农业可持续性的有效手段,然而当前关于氮肥和秸秆还田对小麦产量和N_(2)O排放影响的研究仍十分有限。为此,本研究基于2000—2022年发表的关于长江中下游流域氮肥和秸秆投入下小麦产量和N_(2)O排放变化的文献,运用随机森林建模,定量分析氮肥和秸秆还田对小麦产量和N_(2)O排放的影响,并结合情景设置进行了特定地点的小麦产量和N_(2)O排放模拟,同时评估了碳排放强度(CEE)和净生态系统经济效益(NEEB)。结果表明,建立的区域尺度小麦产量与N_(2)O排放对氮秸互作响应的随机森林模型,验证结果R^(2)分别为0.66和0.65,RMSE分别为0.70和1.11。结果表明施氮量和土壤有机质是影响小麦产量和N_(2)O排放的重要因素。综合来看,达到最大产量所需的氮肥量为208~212 kg hm^(-2),达到最小CEE所需的氮肥量为113~130 kg hm^(-2),达到最高的NEEB所需的氮肥量为202~205 kg hm^(-2),其中在6.75 t hm^(-2)的秸秆投入下施用202 kg hm^(-2)的氮肥可以获得最高的生态收益1.37万元。优化氮肥和秸秆投入具备减少作物碳排放强度并获得最大净生态环境效益的潜力。
