Is burial of wheat straw in ditches a way to reduce CH4 emissions from rice cultivation?

Abstract

Burial of wheat straw in ditches and incorporation of wheat straw are the two main ways of returning wheat straw prior to rice cultivation in China. To examine the effect of burying wheat straw in ditches on CH₄ emissions from rice cultivation, a field experiment was conducted at Yixing, Jiangsu, China in 2004. CH₄ flux was measured using a closed-chamber technique in three treatments (CK, no wheat straw application; WI, evenly incorporating 3.75 t ha^?1 wheat straw into the 0.1 m topsoil; WD, burying 3.75 t ha^?1 wheat straw in 0.14-m deep by 0.25-m wide ditches). Seasonal CH₄ emissions ranged from 49.7 to 218.4 kg CH₄ ha^?1. The application of wheat straw in these two ways significantly increased CH₄ emissions by 4.0-fold and 4.4-fold, respectively (P < 0.05). Although CH₄ flux from the non-ditch area in the WD treatment was as low as that in the CK treatment, it was counter-balanced by extremely high CH₄ flux from the ditch, which was approximately 6.0-fold as much as that from WI, leading to comparability between treatments WI and WD in total CH₄ emissions (P > 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the three treatments in grain yield (P > 0.05). The results indicated that burial of wheat straw in ditches is not a way to reduce CH₄ emission from rice cultivation.     

Behavior of phenolic substances in the decaying process of plants

The behavior of phenolic substances in the decaying process of rice straw, ladino clover, and fanen leaves of red oak under moist conditions, and also of rice straw under various conditions were compared in the laboratory. The amounts of phenolic substances, divided into either humic acid and fulvic acid fractions, or ether-extractable, butanol-extractable and organic solvent-unextractable fractions, and the amounts of individual phenolic acids were periodically determined during incubation for 150 days. The following results were obtained.

1) The amounts and behavior of phenolic substances in various fractions differed considerably among the plant materials. The total amount of phenolic substances was remarkably larger in red oak leaves than in the others during the whole period of incubation. The amounts of phenolics in the fulvic acid fraction changed to a larger extent than those in the humic acid fraction during the decaying process of plant materials. The changes in total amount of phenolics in decaying red oak leaves and ladino clover were mainly due to changes in the level of relatively hydrophilic phenolics in the fulvic acid fraction, but the changes in decaying rice straw were mainly due to changes in the level of relatively lipophilic phenolics.

2) Rice straw and ladino clover, especially the former, contained large amounts of p-coumaric and ferulic acids, but these decreased rapidly in the early stage of the decaying process. The amounts in red oak leaves were small, but did not decrease markedly during incubation.

3) The changes in amounts of phenolics in both humic acid and fulvic acid fractions in the decaying process of rice straw were largely influenced by temperature, moisture, and pH, but not to a large extent by C/N ratio and the presence of soil. At higher temperatures under moist conditions, phenolic substances disappeared rapidly. Also, acidification of the system inhibited the degradation process.     

Effect of rice variety on methane emission from an Indonesian paddy field

Variations in CH₄ emission from a Sumatra paddy field in which 8 popular modern varieties in Indonesia were grown were compared in the 1994/1995 rainy season. Total amounts of CH₄ emitted during the period of rice growth were in the ranges of 32.6-41.7 and 51.3–64.6 g CH₄ m^-2 for the plots amended with chemical fertilizer only and those amended with both rice straw and chemical fertilizer, respectively. The mean CH₄ emission rate was highest in the plot with the variety Bengawan solo and lowest in the plots with the varieties Atomita-4 and Way seputih among the plots which received chemical fertilizer, while highest in the plot with Way seputih and lowest in the plot with Bengawan solo among the plots amended with both rice straw and chemical fertilizer. The increase in the mean CH₄ emission rates by rice straw application was higher for the plots planted with Way seputih (1.98 times) and Atomita-4 (1.77 times) than for the plots with Bengawan solo (1.23 times) and IR-64 (1.35 times). The plots with Walanai and Cisanggarung recorded intermediate mean emission rates and the increase in CH₄ emission by rice straw application was also intermediate (1.57–1.64 times). It was noteworthy that Way seputih and Atomita-4 were derived from the variety Cisadane, Bengawan solo and IR-64 from the variety IR-54, and Walanai and Cisanggarung from the varieties IR-36 and Pelita 1-1, respectively.

The amounts of CH. emitted for 1 kg grain production ranged from 53 (Atomita-4) to 74 (Kapuas and Walanai) and from 89-93 (IR-64, Bengawan solo, and Atomita-4) to 121 (Kapuas) g CH₄ kg^-1 of grain for the plots amended with chemical fertilizer and those amended with rice straw and chemical fertilizer, respectively.     

Effect of application of rice straw and cellulose on methane emission and biological nitrogen fixation in a subtropical paddy field

Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB, methanotrophs) limit the flux of methane to the atmosphere from sediments and soils, and consume atmospheric methane (King 1992; Oremland and Culbertson 1992). IPCC (1995) reported that an aerobic soil is equivalent to a sink of 10–20% of methane emissions. Hence MOB play an important role in regulating the atmospheric methane content (Mancinelli 1995). Over the last 20y, although a large amount of information has been supplied on the biochemistry of MOB, few ecological investigations have been devoted to them so far (Holzapfel-Pschorn et al. 1985; Oremland and Culbertson 1992).     

Promotive and inhibitory effects of rice straw and cellulose application on rice plant growth in pot and field experiments

Abstract

Quantitative characterization of crusts is necessary to evaluate the crusting susceptibility of soils, to reveal the soil properties affecting soil crust development and, thus, to predict the occurrence of crusting. For the quantification of the morphological characteristics of soil surface crusts, the authors applied an image analyzing method to quantify the state of pores, in terms of apparent porosity, using vertical thin sections of the surface crust formed under simulated rainfall.     

Effect of rice straw application on CH4 emission from paddy fields

The effect of rice straw (RS) incorporated at the time of plowing in the previous cr–p season on CH₄ emission from rice paddies was investigated in a pot experiment. Rice straw that incorporated just before transplanting of rice seedlings (June) into a paddy field was collected after the harvest (October) and at the beginning of the next cropping period (May). Methane emission rates from the rice-planted pots with the application of fresh RS, RS collected in October. and RS collected in Mayas well as the pots without RS application were measured using the chamber method. The composition of organic constituents in the three kinds of RS was estimated by the proximate analysis. The cumulative amount of CH₄ emitted during the first 50–d period was lower in the order of the pots with RS collected in May, pots with RS collected in October, and pots with fresh RS. The cumulative amount of CH₄ emitted throughout the rice growth period from the pots with fresh RS and with RS collected in October was significantly larger while that from the pots with RS collected in May did not differ statistically compared with the total CH₄ emission from the pots without RS. These results suggested that there was an overall decrease in the amount of organic constituents in RS based on the large differences in T-C content and similar composition of organic constituents between the fresh RS and RS collected in May. Significant effect of RS continuously applied during the previous cropping period on the increase in CH₄ emission was discussed.     

温度对麦秸混合物料厌氧干发酵中糖类水解酶活性的影响

水解酶活性直接影响到秸秆厌氧干发酵的沼气产量。本文以麦秸为主要原料, 配制干物质含量(TS)35%的混合发酵物料, 设置20 ℃、25 ℃、30 ℃、35 ℃、40 ℃ 5种不同温度条件, 发酵周期为35 d, 测定发酵过程中料液的纤维素酶、木聚糖酶、淀粉酶和蔗糖酶的活性变化。结果表明, 沼气产气高峰在35 ℃左右, 20~40 ℃时, 随着温度的升高, 发酵后料液的料液干物质含量(TS)、可挥发固体含量(VS)、C/N均明显下降, 发酵产沼气后, 各处理发酵液 pH都降到7.0以下, 其中40 ℃的pH降低幅度最大。纤维素酶活性在发酵初期较低, 峰值出现也较晚, 温度升高明显有利于提高纤维素酶活性。木聚糖酶的起始活性较高, 整个发酵过程中呈先升高后降低并渐趋于平缓的变化趋势, 20~25 ℃处理的木聚糖酶活性在整个发酵过程中没有明显峰值。淀粉酶的起始活性较低, 但随后迅速升高, 30~40 ℃处理在10 d左右达到峰值后开始下降, 此后酶活力的变化幅度较前期平稳。蔗糖酶的起始酶活力较低, 随后升高迅速, 温度在30 ℃以上时酶活性增加更快, 35 ℃时15 d达到峰值后迅速下降, 下降速度明显大于30 ℃和40 ℃处理。由此可见, 温度对秸秆厌氧干发酵过程中不同水解酶活性的影响还是有所差异的。
