温度、水分和施肥对甜菜黑土氮素迁移转化的影响

以东北甜菜主产区的黑土为材料,采用模拟土柱方法,研究了不同温度(5℃和20℃)、水分(10%,20%和30%)和施肥(尿素)条件对甜菜0—90cm土层土壤无机氮(NH4+-N和NO3--N)迁移转化的影响。结果表明:在整个培养期内,温度和水分对不同施肥处理、不同土层土壤NH4+-N和NO3--N含量的影响不同。不施肥土壤NH4+-N和NO3--N含量在不同水分和温度下均无显著差异。不同温度和水分条件下施肥处理各土层NH4+-N、NO3--N平均含量均随土层深度增加而下降,在相同温度条件下,土壤水分为20%时为甜菜土壤矿化和硝化作用的最适水分,而10%水分时,0—15cm土层土壤硝化作用受到明显抑制。施肥明显增加0—15cm土层NH4+-N、NO3--N含量,分别与不施肥相比增加2.71~16.65倍和1.04~9.05倍。5℃时,NH4+-N、NO3--N在土柱内的迁移距离和硝化作用主要发生在0—15cm土层内;20℃时,主要发生在0—15cm和0—50cm土层内。施肥与不施肥土壤NH4+-N含量与温度、水分均呈负相关,NO3--N含量和硝化率(Nr)呈正相关,多因素统计分析表明,温度和水分的提高可以增强施肥土壤的氮素转化,温度、水分和施肥三者对土壤NH4+-N、NO3--N含量迁移有交互作用,但是对土壤氮素的转化没有显著影响。     

戴云山自然保护区森林土壤氮转化特点研究

利用~(15)N稳定同位素成对标记法并结合MCMC数值模型,研究了戴云山国家级自然保护区天然毛竹林(BF)及其邻近黄山松–杉木林(NF)土壤氮素初级转化速率,以评估该地区森林生态系统土壤氮状态,并分析其保氮机制。结果表明:BF土壤NH_4~+-N的总产生速率(以N量计,13.16μg/(g×d))是NF土壤的2倍(6.25μg/(g×d)),其中黏土矿物对NH_4~+-N的解吸作用是BF产生NH_4~+-N的主要过程(55%),而NF主要以有机氮的矿化作用为主(56%)。BF土壤氮素初级矿化速率为5.56μg/(g×d),显著高于NF的3.40μg/(g×d)。土壤氮素初级矿化速率与土壤全氮含量显著正相关(P0.05),而与C/N比表现显著负相关(P0.05)。BF与NF土壤NH_4~+-N总产生量的90%均被土壤微生物的同化作用以及黏土矿物的吸附作用所消耗。两种土壤的硝化作用微弱,BF土壤总硝化速率(以N量计,0.23μg/(g×d))与NF土壤(0.26μg/(g×d))相差不大。两种林地土壤硝化作用均以有机氮的异养硝化为主,自养硝化过程可忽略不计。BF与NF土壤中NO_3~–-N消耗速率均超过了产生速率,表明BF与NF土壤均能有效降低NO_3~–-N的潜在淋失风险,其中BF土壤中NO_3~–-N的消耗以微生物的同化作用为主(58%),而NF土壤以NO_3~–-N异化还原为NH_4~+-N过程为主(68%)。戴云山国家级自然保护区两种亚热带森林土壤的氮转化过程均以NH_4~+-N转化为主,产生的绝大多数NH_4~+-N会迅速通过微生物对NH_4~+-N的同化作用以及黏土矿物对NH_4~+-N的吸附作用固持到有机氮库中;自养硝化过程微弱,使得无机氮主要以NH_4~+-N的形式保存于土壤中,同时酸性土壤环境有效削弱了NH_4~+-N的挥发损失。此外,相对较高的NO_3~–-N微生物同化速率以及异化还原为NH_4~+-N速率,进一步有效降低了NO_3~–-N的淋溶损失以及反硝化作用的气态损失风险,使该地区森林土壤能够在多雨的条件下有效保持氮素,满足植物的生长需求。     

太湖地区稻麦轮作农田改葡萄园对土壤氮转化过程的影响

采用15N成对标记技术结合数值模型,测定太湖地区两种土地利用方式(稻麦轮作农田和葡萄园)下的土壤氮素初级转化速率,探讨了土地利用方式改变对土壤供氮和保氮能力的影响。结果表明,葡萄园土壤初级矿化速率高于稻麦轮作农田土壤,但是其NH4+-N同化速率几乎可以忽略不计(0.02 mg kg-1 d-1),自养硝化成为培养条件下葡萄园土壤NH4+-N的唯一去向。葡萄园土壤初级自养硝化速率(15.85 mg kg-1 d-1)显著高于稻麦轮作农田土壤(13.65 mg kg-1 d-1),但两者初级异养硝化速率和NO3--N同化速率均接近零值。可见,太湖地区稻麦轮作农田改种为葡萄园后,土壤NH4+-N同化速率显著降低而自养硝化速率增加,由此导致更多的NO3--N在土壤中累积,进而可能增加土壤中N的淋溶和径流损失风险。     

黄土高原北部生长季土壤氮素矿化对植被和地形的响应

氮素矿化是陆地生态系统氮循环的重要过程,对氮素有效性有着重要影响。本文在黄土高原北部六道沟小流域选取退耕年限相近的油松和柠条坡地,用原位培养法测定生长季节(4—10月)不同坡位冠层下和冠层外0~10 cm和10~20 cm土层土壤氮素矿化速率,以确定该区氮素矿化的季节动态特征和主要影响因素。结果表明,研究区生长季土壤矿质氮以铵态氮为主,其含量在0~10 cm和10~20 cm土层分别占矿质氮总量的61%和70%,并随生长季的推移而升高。油松林上坡位和中坡位土壤铵态氮显著高于下坡位土壤,柠条林不同坡位铵态氮差异不显著。土壤硝态氮和矿质氮不受坡位的影响,但与林型和采样位置有关,冠层下硝态氮在油松林与冠层外相近,在柠条林则高于冠层外。生长季土壤氮素矿化在0~10 cm土层由硝化作用引起,在10~20 cm土层则由硝化和铵化作用共同引起。铵化速率在生长季初期较高,中期较低,并受坡位、林型和采样位置的影响。土壤硝化和矿化速率在油松林不受采样位置影响,但是在柠条林则以冠层下较高。硝化和矿化速率在冠层下以下坡位土壤最高,在冠层外则以下坡位土壤最低。柠条林促进了冠层下土壤氮素的硝化和矿化过程,有利于矿质氮的积累;油松林对矿质氮和氮素矿化的影响不受采样位置影响。     

三种氮肥对红壤硝化作用及酸化过程影响的研究

以安徽郎溪耕地红壤耕层土壤为对象,采用室内恒温培养方法,研究了CO(NH2)2、(NH4)2SO4及NH4HCO3 3种氮肥在不同施用量条件下对土壤硝化作用及酸化过程的影响。结果表明:对照处理土壤的净硝化速率为(NO2-+NO3-)-N 25.7 mol /(kg?d);3种化学氮肥添加到土壤后均显著促进了土壤的硝化作用,CO(NH2)2、NH4HCO3处理土壤的净硝化速率分别为(NO2-+NO3-)-N 51.3～189.6、50.7～149.9 mol /(kg?d),且净硝化速率随氮肥用量增加而增加;(NH4)2SO4处理土壤的净硝化速率为(NO2-+NO3-)-N 60.5～107.9 mol /(kg?d),以施用量N 150 mg /kg时最大。研究同时发现, 3种化学氮肥均导致土壤pH下降,CO(NH2)2、 NH4HCO3处理土壤pH较对照处理分别下降0.11～0.43、0.02～0.36 pH单位,氮肥施用越多,pH下降越大;(NH4)2SO4处理土壤pH较对照处理下降0.08～0.26 pH单位,以施用量N 150 mg /kg时下降最大, N 300 mg /kg时下降最小。统计分析表明,土壤pH与土壤中(NO2-+NO3-)-N含量呈极显著负相关,土壤酸化速率与净硝化速率有显著的线性相关关系,说明氮肥通过硝化作用影响土壤酸度。     

不同外源氮对石灰性土壤硝化作用的影响及其动力学分析

为了揭示外源氮源对石灰性土壤硝化作用的影响机理,以钙积半干润均腐土（Cal-Ustic Isohumasols）为材料,采用室内培养方法研究了不同添加量和不同氮源对土壤硝化作用的影响,并建立了对应的硝化模型。结果表明,NH4+-N消耗速率和NO3--N增加速率呈S曲线变化,NH4+-N消耗速率高于NO3--N增加速率。氮素添加量与NH4+-N消耗速率和NO3--N增加速率呈正相关,硝化菌外的因子对NH4+-N和NO3--N的吸收与NH4+-N添加量呈正相关;不同氮素添加量对硝化作用影响程度不同,当氮素添加量为N 75 mg /kg,干土时,硝化作用较彻底。SO42-可加快硝化作用速率,同时也可改变其他因子对NH4+-N和NO3--N的利用。     

尿素与有机肥配施对棕红壤氮素转化的影响

为了解析尿素配施有机肥对土壤氮库活动的影响,通过室内恒温培养试验研究尿素(225kg N·hm~(-2))分别与低量(30 t·hm~(-2))、中量(60 t·hm~(-2))及高量(120、150 t·hm~(-2))有机肥配施条件下棕红壤有机氮库、无机氮库的动态变化。结果表明,配施有机肥土壤的有机氮含量较单施尿素增加16.3%~85.6%。中、高量配施显著提高土壤氮素矿化速率(p0.05),加剧无机氮转化强度,与单施尿素相比,无机氮最大矿化量增加52.9~246.0 mg·kg~(-1),有效矿化持续时间延长5 d,转化量增大2.3倍~8.7倍;配施有机肥提高土壤氨化强度,加快铵态氮(NH_4~+-N)转化速率。与单施尿素相比,配施有机肥处理NH_4~+-N含量峰值增加2.6~42.6 mg·kg~(-1),平均氨化速率提高7.8 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1),转化速率增加1.4倍~8.8倍。一定量配施有机肥(30~120 t·hm~(-2))对土壤的硝化过程无显著影响,但过高量配施有机肥(150 t·hm~(-2)),强化土壤硝化作用,硝化速率较单施尿素提高4.2倍,引起土壤硝态氮(NO-3-N)大量累积。氮素表观平衡结果表明,中、高量配施有机肥显著增加培养体系氮素表观损失,60、90和120 t·hm~(-2)处理氮素损失量分别较单施尿素增加2.2倍、2.8倍和2.3倍,占总输入氮的27.5%~34.5%,其中,NH_4~+-N转化损失是体系氮表观损失的主要途径。本研究结果为棕红壤合理培肥提供了理论依据。     

模拟氮沉降对温带不同森林类型土壤氮矿化速率的影响

通过室内模拟不同氮形态(NH4+-N、NO3--N、NH4+-N+NO3--N)沉降实验,研究不同氮形态沉降对温带不同森林类型(椴树红松混交林、白桦天然次生林、红松人工林和落叶松人工林)土壤氮矿化速率的影响。结果表明:在整个培养期间,与对照相比,经过氮沉降土壤净氨化速率、净硝化速率及净矿化速率都呈现出增长趋势,而其增加的程度又取决于森林类型、土层、氮处理类型和处理时间。不同林型土壤净氨化速率、净硝化速率及净矿化速率受氮沉降影响不同,混交林对氮沉降的响应要弱于阔叶林,高于针叶人工纯林;土壤A层比土壤B层对氮沉降敏感;以铵态氮形态沉降时对铵态氮含量、净氨化速率影响较大,以硝态氮形态沉降时对硝态氮含量、净硝化速率影响较大,混合形态的氮沉降要比单种形态的氮沉降使土壤净氨化速率、净硝化速率及净矿化速率增加幅度更高;氮沉降时间越长,土壤净氨化速率、净硝化速率及净矿化速率与对照差距越大,说明氮沉降对土壤的影响存在累加效应。     

科尔沁沙地固定沙丘土壤氮素空间分布特征研究

为了研究固定沙丘土壤N素空间分布特征,选择以栽植小叶锦鸡儿25年后的固定沙丘为研究对象,从迎风坡、顶坡和背风坡3个位置4个层次(0～5、5～10、10～20和20～40 cm)进行取样分析.研究结果表明:全N、NO_3~--N和NH_4~+-N含量均随着土层加深而呈现出减少的趋势,0～5 cm土层显著高于其他各层.表层土壤受凋落物的影响较大,从而相对于深层土壤来说积累了更多的N素.全N、NO_3~--N和NH_4~+-N含量在不同坡位间存在显著差异(p＜0.01):全N和NO_3~--N含量在迎风坡较高,而NH_4~+-N含量在背风坡较高.丛下全N、NO_3~--N和NH_4~+-N的含量显著高于丛间(p＜0.01).土壤电导率与全N、NO_3~--N、NH_4~+-N含量呈显著正相关,而pH与NO_3~--N、NH_4~+-N含量呈显著负相关,NO_3~--N、NH_4~+-N的富集降低了土壤pH值.小叶锦鸡儿的栽植对沙土改良具有重要意义.     

不同施氮量对林地和农田黑土净氮转化速率的影响

用在土壤含水量为田间持水量60%、温度20℃恒定条件下进行室内培养的方法,研究不同NH_4~+-N施用量(0、40、60、80 mg kg~(-1))对林地和农田黑土净氮转化速率的影响。结果表明,在不施氮的条件下林地黑土的净氮矿化速率为负值,表现为对氮的净固定;在施氮条件下林地黑土的净氮矿化速率为正值,表现为对氮的净矿化,且随NH_4~+-N施用量(0～60 mg kg~(-1))的增加而增加,但NH_4~+-N施用量超过60 mg kg~(-1)后土壤净氮矿化速率反而稍有降低。施氮对农田土壤氮矿化的影响与林地土壤相反,不施氮的农田土壤净氮矿化速率为正值,施氮后土壤净氮矿化速率为负值,且随NH_4~+-N施用量(0～80 mg kg~(-1))的增加而降低。施用NH_4~+-N肥显著促进了林地和农田土壤硝化作用,但对农田土壤的促进程度更大。对于林地土壤而言,施氮处理土壤的净硝化速率是不施氮处理的1.52～1.70倍,不同施氮量处理间差异不显著。对于农田土壤而言,施氮处理土壤的净硝化速率是不施氮处理的16.7～26.4倍,且随施氮量的增加而显著增加。施氮降低了林地土壤的硝化率,但是对农田土壤的硝化率没有显著影响。     

Gross nitrogen mineralization-, immobilization-, and nitrification rates as a function of soil C/N ratio and microbial activity

A laboratory experiment was designed to challenge the idea that the C/N ratio of forest soils may control gross N immobilization, mineralization, and nitrification rates. Soils were collected from three deciduous forests sites varying in C/N ratio between 15 and 27. They were air-dried and rewetted to induce a burst of microbial activity. The N transformation rates were calculated from an isotope dilution and enrichment procedure, in which ¹⁵NH₄Cl or Na¹⁵NO₃ was repeatedly added to the soils during 7 days of incubation. The experiments suggested that differences in gross nitrogen immobilization and mineralization rates between the soils were more related to the respiration rate and ATP content than to the C/N ratio. Peaks of respiration and ATP content were followed by high rates of mineralization and immobilization, with 1-2 days of delay. The gross immobilization of NH₄⁺ was dependent on the gross mineralization and one to two orders of magnitude larger than the gross NO₃⁻ immobilization. The gross nitrification rates were negatively related to the ATP content and the C/N ratio and greatly exceeding the net nitrification rates. Taken together, the observations suggest that leaching of nitrate from forest soils may be largely dependent on the density and activity of the microbial community.     

Effects of long-term annual inputs of straw and organic manure on plant N uptake and soil N fluxes

This study investigated the effects of long‐term annual inputs of animal manure and straw on the rate of gross nitrogen (N) mineralization–immobilization turnover (MIT), net N mineralization and potential nitrification, and examined how these N transformation rates affect plant N availability. The experiment was conducted during May–June 2001 in long‐term field experiments in Askov, Denmark, where organic manure and barley straw had been applied annually for 11 and 20 years prior to the year 2000, respectively. Thus, any differences could be attributed to residual effects from the previous years of application. Inputs of straw and organic manure to soil increased soil organic matter (SOM)‐N content in soil in the order: without straw, without manure < without straw, with manure < with straw, without manure < with straw, with manure. The inputs did not change net N mineralization in the soil. There was a distinct but non‐significant trend towards higher gross N mineralization with increasing SOM‐N. Gross N immobilization was enhanced by straw inputs and to a lesser extent by organic manure inputs, while potential nitrification was enhanced by both amendments. The results show that long‐term annual inputs of straw and organic manure can increase MIT rate and potential nitrification rate without influencing net N mineralization rate. MIT and potential nitrification explained 23–31% of the variation in plant N uptake, while net N mineralization rate only explained 1%. Plant N uptake therefore seems to be more influenced by MIT rate and potential nitrification rate than by net mineralization rate, presumably because mineral N in the transition between gross N mineralization and gross N immobilization is available for assimilation by plants.     

好氧条件下两种水稻土的氮素总转化速率比较

Although to date individual gross N transformations could be quantified by ~(15)N tracing method and models,studies are still limited in paddy soil.An incubation experiment was conducted using topsoil(0-20 cm) and subsoil(20-60 cm) of two paddy soils,alkaline and clay(AC) soil and neutral and silt loam(NSL) soil,to investigate gross N transformation rates.Soil samples were labeled with either ~(15)NH4_NO_3 or NH_4~(15)NO_3,and then incubated at 25 °C for 168 h at 60%water-holding capacity.The gross N mineralization(recalcitrant and labile organic N mineralization) rates in AC soil were 1.6 to 3.3 times higher than that in NSL soil,and the gross N nitrification(autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrification) rates in AC soil were 2.4 to 4.4 times higher than those in NSL soil.Although gross NO_3~- consumption(i.e.,NO_3~- immobilization and dissimilatory NO_3~- reduction to NH_4~+ rates increased with increasing gross nitrification rates,the measured net nitrification rate in AC soil was approximately 2.0 to 5.1 times higher than that in NSL soil.These showed that high NO_3~- production capacity of alkaline paddy soil should be a cause for concern because an accumulation of NO_3~- can increase the risk of NO_3~- loss through leaching and denitrification.     

Soil microbial biomass and nitrogen dynamics in a turfgrass chronosequence: A short-term response to turfgrass clipping addition

A mechanistic understanding of soil microbial biomass and N dynamics following turfgrass clipping addition is central to understanding turfgrass ecology. New leaves represent a strong sink for soil and fertilizer N, and when mowed, a significant addition to soil organic N. Understanding the mineralization dynamics of clipping N should help in developing strategies to minimize N losses via leaching and denitrification. We characterized soil microbial biomass and N mineralization and immobilization turnover in response to clipping addition in a turfgrass chronosequence (i.e. 3, 8, 25, and 97 yr old) and the adjacent native pines. Our objectives were (1) to evaluate the impacts of indigenous soil and microbial attributes associated with turf age and land use on the early phase decomposition of turfgrass clippings and (2) to estimate mineralization dynamics of turfgrass clippings and subsequent effects on N mineralization of indigenous soils. We conducted a 28-d laboratory incubation to determine short-term dynamics of soil microbial biomass, C decomposition, N mineralization and nitrification after soil incorporation of turfgrass clippings. Gross rates of N mineralization and immobilization were estimated with ¹⁵N using a numerical model, FLAUZ. Turfgrass clippings decomposed rapidly; decomposition and mineralization equivalent to 20-30% of clipping C and N, respectively, occurred during the incubation. Turfgrass age had little effect on decomposition and net N mineralization. However, the response of potential nitrification to clipping addition was age dependent. In young turfgrass systems having low rates, potential nitrification increased significantly with clipping addition. In contrast, old turfgrass systems having high initial rates of potential nitrification were unaffected by clipping addition. Isotope ¹⁵N modeling showed that gross N mineralization following clipping addition was not affected by turf age but differed between turfgrass and the adjacent native pines. The flush of mineralized N following clipping addition was derived predominantly from the clippings rather than soil organic N. Our data indicate that the response of soil microbial biomass and N mineralization and immobilization to clipping addition was essentially independent of indigenous soil and microbial attributes. Further, increases in microbial biomass and activity following clipping addition did not stimulate the mineralization of indigenous soil organic N.     

Phosphorus addition enhances gross microbial N cycling in phosphorus-poor soils: a <Superscript>15</Superscript>N study from two long-term fertilization experiments

The tight coupling between nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) suggests that P availability may affect soil microbial N dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. However, how P addition affects the internal N transformations in P-deficient agricultural soil remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that an increase in gross microbial N rates in P-deficient soil should occur after long-term P inputs in agricultural soils. We thus conducted a ¹⁵N pool dilution experiment to quantify the gross microbial N transformation rates after long-term mineral fertilizer applications in an upland fluvo-aquic soil (from Fengqiu with pH 8.55) and upland red soil (from Qiyang with pH 5.49) in China. We found that P addition significantly enhanced the gross N mineralization and immobilization rates when N and K were also applied, probably due to the increased soil total C and N concentrations at both soils. Also, gross nitrification rate was stimulated by P addition, perhaps because of enhanced gross N mineralization rates and associated NH₄⁺ substrate availability. Our results showed that long-term P addition may stimulate soil gross N dynamics and hence increase overall N availability for crops in P-deficient agricultural soils.     

Nitrogen transformations in an aerobic soil as determined by a 15NH4+ dilution technique

The rates of mineralization, immobilization and oxidation of N in an aerobic soil, an Andosol Brown, from the farm of the Hokkaido National Agricultural Experiment Station were simultaneously determined in the presence and absence of acetylene using a ¹⁵NH⁺₄ dilution technique. C₂H₂ inhibited nitrification, but did not directly affect mineralization and immobilization. Denitrification and immobilization of NO₃^?-N were negligible. Mineralization proceeded much faster than did immobilization. Net mineralization accounted for 22–59% of gross mineralization. The rates of N transformation at a water content of 60% were higher than those at 40%. The Q₁₀ values for mineralization, immobilization and nitrification were estimated, between 11° and 29°C, to be 2.0, 1.9 and 1.7, respectively.     

Temperature and stubble management influence microbial CO2-C evolution and gross N transformation rates

Few studies have examined the kinetics of gross nitrogen (N) mineralization, immobilization, and nitrification rates in soil at temperatures above 15 °C. In this study, ¹⁵N isotopic pool dilution was used to evaluate the influence of retaining standing crop residues after harvest versus burning crop residues on short-term gross N transformation rates at constant temperatures of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 °C. Gross N mineralization rates calculated per unit soil organic carbon were between 1 and 7 times lower in stubble burnt treatments than in stubble retained treatments. In addition, significant declines in soil microbial biomass (P=0.05) and CO₂-C evolution (P<0.001) were associated with stubble burning. Immobilization rates were of similar magnitude to gross N mineralization rates in stubble retained and burnt treatments incubated between 5 and 20 °C, but demonstrated significant divergence from gross N mineralization rates at temperatures between 20 and 40 °C. Separation in the mineralization immobilization turnover (MIT) in soil at high temperatures was not due to a lack of available C substrate, as glucose-C was added to one treatment to test this assumption. Nitrification increased linearly with temperature (P<0.001) and dominated over immobilization for available ammonium in soil incubated at 5 °C, and above 20 °C indicating that nitrification is often the principal process controlling consumption in a semi-arid soil. These findings illustrate that the MIT at soil temperatures above 20 °C is not tightly coupled, and consequently that the potential for loss of N (as nitrate) is considerably greater due to increased nitrification.     

Effects of soil moisture on gross N transformations and N2O emission in acid subtropical forest soils

Soil moisture changes, arising from seasonal variation or from global climate changes, could influence soil nitrogen (N) transformation rates and N availability in unfertilized subtropical forests. A ¹⁵?N dilution study was carried out to investigate the effects of soil moisture change (30–90 % water-holding capacity (WHC)) on potential gross N transformation rates and N₂O and NO emissions in two contrasting (broad-leaved vs. coniferous) subtropical forest soils. Gross N mineralization rates were more sensitive to soil moisture change than gross NH₄ ⁺ immobilization rates for both forest soils. Gross nitrification rates gradually increased with increasing soil moisture in both forest soils. Thus, enhanced N availability at higher soil moisture values was attributed to increasing gross N mineralization and nitrification rates over the immobilization rate. The natural N enrichment in humid subtropical forest soils may partially be due to fast N mineralization and nitrification under relatively higher soil moisture. In broad-leaved forest soil, the high N₂O and NO emissions occurred at 30 % WHC, while the reverse was true in coniferous forest soil. Therefore, we propose that there are different mechanisms regulating N₂O and NO emissions between broad-leaved and coniferous forest soils. In coniferous forest soil, nitrification may be the primary process responsible for N₂O and NO emissions, while in broad-leaved forest soil, N₂O and NO emissions may originate from the denitrification process.
