典型旱作农田土壤氧化亚氮排放的氨氧化微生物相对贡献

氨氧化过程对氧化亚氮（N2O）排放具有重要贡献。在不同土壤类型和农田管理下,氨氧化微生物类群对N2O排放的相对贡献组成规律还缺乏系统的研究。本研究选取典型农田耕层土壤（潮土、黑土、砖红壤）,以及有机肥改良的砖红壤剖面土壤,采用选择性抑制法（乙炔和辛炔）研究氨氧化细菌（AOB）、氨氧化古菌和全程硝化菌（AOA+comammox）以及异养硝化菌对土壤硝化潜势、净硝化速率及N2O排放的相对贡献。结果表明,在耕层土壤中,潮土、黑土和砖红壤的pH分别是8.0、6.7和5.7,硝化潜势分别是N 32.5、6.6和4.8 mg?kg-1?d-1,净硝化速率分别是N 7.1、3.0和0.5 mg?kg-1?d-1,7天N2O累积排放量分别是N 38.0、35.4和8.7 μg?kg-1。AOB主导耕层土壤的硝化潜势,对硝化潜势的贡献分别是82%、58%和100%。对于净硝化速率,在潮土和砖红壤中,AOB和AOA+comammox贡献相当（均在30%~40%）,而黑土中由AOB主导（72%）。AOB主导耕层土壤的N2O排放,对N2O排放的贡献分别是72%、92%和58%。在改良的砖红壤剖面土壤中,在0~20 cm、20~40 cm和40~60 cm,pH分别是7.0、5.5和4.9,硝化潜势分别是N 6.6、2.0和1.1 mg?kg-1?d-1,净硝化速率分别是N 4.1、0.9和0.2 mg?kg-1?d-1,N2O排放分别是N 16.3、6.5和2.8 mg?kg-1?d-1。随土壤由深层至表层,硝化潜势、净硝化速率及N2O排放显著提高。AOA+comammox主导表层硝化潜势及净硝化速率的提高（分别贡献63%和54%）,AOB主导N2O排放的增加（贡献54%）。本研究为制定与土壤氨氧化特性及土壤性质相匹配的N2O减排措施提供了新的科学依据。     

水氮调控对设施土壤氨挥发特征的影响

基于连续6年设施番茄水氮调控定位试验,采用高分辨激光光谱法观测分析灌水下限(土壤水吸力为W_1:25 kPa、W_2:35 kPa、W_3:45 kPa)和施氮量(N_1:75 kg N/hm~2、N_2:300 kg N/hm~2、N_3:525 kg N/hm~2)对设施土壤氨挥发通量、累积挥发量、番茄产量及单产累积排放量的影响。结果表明:灌水下限、施氮量及两者交互作用极显著的影响设施土壤氨挥发通量峰值、累积挥发量、单产氨挥发累积量、氨挥发损失率和番茄产量。氨挥发通量表现为施氮后6～8天氨挥发达到峰值。经验S模型可以较好地表征基肥和追肥2个时期氨挥发累积量随时间的变化,氨挥发特征参数表现为基肥期以灌水下限和水氮交互影响为主,追肥期以施氮量和水氮交互影响为主。与基肥相比,采用滴灌追肥可显著的降低氨挥发累积量94.78%～96.30%。受土壤pH和土壤NH_4~+-N含量及施肥带比例影响,氨挥发的氮损失率在0～2%。施氮量为300 kg N/hm~2和灌水下限25 kPa组合的水氮处理(W_1N_2)是协调氨挥发量和设施番茄产量的最佳水氮管理模式。     

冻融期温带草地土壤呼吸和土壤异养呼吸的日变化特征及对水氮添加的响应

探讨冻融期土壤呼吸和土壤异养呼吸如何响应降雨变化和氮沉降增加,对于准确预估未来全球变化背景下陆地生态系统土壤碳动态有着重要意义。选择内蒙古温带典型草地开展增雨和氮沉降增加野外模拟实验,分析水氮变化条件下冻融期土壤呼吸及土壤异养呼吸的日变化特征。冻融期,土壤呼吸及土壤异养呼吸通量（CO₂排放速率）最大值出现在温度最高的午后或是土壤发生冻融后的早晨,最小值则出现在昼夜内温度最低的时间段。在秋季和春季两个昼夜观测日期内,水氮增加对呼吸通量的促进效应均不显著（P > 0.05）,但却促使土壤呼吸累积通量分别增加了约145 mg m?2和70 mg m?2。由于异养呼吸在土壤呼吸中占比高（> 70.3%）,因此,这两个观测时段内,水氮增加促使土壤异养呼吸日累积通量增加的值与土壤呼吸增加的值十分接近。呼吸通量与土壤水分、氮含量以及5 cm和10 cm地温的相关性不显著（P > 0.05）,与气温和表层地温的相关性显著,且呈现显著的一元二次非线性拟合关系（P < 0.01）,其中,气温可以解释呼吸通量日变化的53% ~ 84%。温度是控制呼吸通量日变化的主要因子,水氮添加在昼夜观测尺度上对土壤呼吸和土壤异养呼吸的日累积通量的促进效应不容忽视。     

土壤生态系统硝化微生物研究进展

微生物主导的硝化作用是生态系统中氮素循环的关键过程,其不仅与酸雨、温室气体、水体富营养化等环境问题的发生有关,还作用于土壤中氮素营养的转化,与人类生产生活密切相关。土壤生态系统中进行硝化作用的微生物包括细菌、古细菌、真菌等。这些微生物根据自身能量代谢类型的不同,利用不同的生物酶进行着不同机制的硝化作用。本文综述了目前已报道的生态系统中进行自养(经典自养硝化和全程氨氧化)和异养硝化作用的微生物类群、硝化作用关键酶及其编码基因类型、其在生态系统中多样的分布特征,以及其前沿的分子生态学研究方法。同时对不同类型硝化微生物类群今后的研究热点提出了展望,以期为系统地研究土壤生态系统中硝化微生物提供参考。     

不同水氮耦合管理下耕层土壤的氮动态

以中国科学院封丘农业生态试验站水氮耦合长期试验地为研究平台,采集了不同水氮耦合管理下耕层0～10 cm、10 ～ 20 cm和0～20 cm土壤,测定了六种形态的氮(无机氮、有机氮、酸解有机氮、酸解铵态氮、溶解性有机氮和微生物生物量氮)和三种与氮周转密切相关的生物性指标(脲酶活性、蛋白酶活性和硝化势).三因素方差分析结果表明,施氮和耕层深度对六种形态氮均有显著作用,而灌水对这六种形态氮无显著作用.单因素方差分析结果显示施氮明显提高了耕层0 ～ 20 cm土壤无机氮、有机氮、脲酶活性及硝化势,而对土壤酸解有机氮和酸解铵态氮无显著影响;六种形态的氮、蛋白酶活性及硝化势均不受灌水量的影响.不同水氮耦合管理下耕层0 ～ 10 cm土壤六种形态氮、脲酶活性、蛋白酶活性及硝化势几乎均明显地高于10～20 cm土壤.通过对不同水氮耦合管理下耕层土壤氮动态的研究,本研究得出最佳的水氮耦合管理模式是灌水至20 cm土层的田间持水量和每季施氮190 kg hm-2.     

水氮调控对设施土壤有机氮组分、全氮和矿质氮的影响

为探讨水氮调控对设施土壤有机氮组分、全氮和矿质氮的影响,通过膜下滴灌设施番茄田间定位试验,采用灌水下限(W_1、W_2、W_3)和施氮量(N_1、N_2、N_3)的两因素三水平随机区组设计,研究水氮调控对休耕期0—30cm土层土壤有机氮组分、全氮和矿质氮的影响。结果表明,不同水氮调控下,设施土壤有机氮主要是以酸解态氮为主,总体表现酸解态氮大于非酸解态氮含量。土壤有机氮组分在酸解态氮和非酸解态氮中分配比例差异明显。土壤有机氮各组分含量及占全氮比例的大小顺序为氨基酸氮/氨态氮未知氮氨基糖氮。除氨基糖氮,其余酸解态氮各组分和酸解总氮含量及其占全氮比例均随着土层深度的增加而降低,不同土层含量差异显著(P0.05)。土壤全氮、矿质氮和总有机氮含量随土层深度的增加也呈降低趋势,且含量差异达到极显著水平(P0.01)。除氨基糖氮,全氮与其他有机氮各组分、酸解总氮间均达到极显著正相关(P0.01);矿质氮仅与酸解氨态氮及酸解总氮的影响达到极显著(P0.01)和显著正相关(P0.05)。灌水下限、施氮量及水氮交互对设施土壤全氮、矿质氮和总有机氮及有机氮组分影响均达到极显著水平(P0.01)。因此,设施土壤氮素含量的变化与水氮管理模式紧密相关。氨态氮和氨基酸氮是设施土壤中最主要的有机氮形态,是土壤活性氮中的主要组分,亦是土壤供氮潜力的表征。考虑土壤供氮潜力,灌水下限35kPa、施氮量300kg/hm~2为该设施生产下最优的水氮管理措施。

Organic nitrogen stimulates the heterotrophic nitrification rate in an acidic forest soil

Many previous studies have demonstrated that heterotrophic nitrification processes play an important role in the production of NO₃⁻ in acidic soils. However, it is not clear whether a low concentration of nitrogenous organic compounds support heterotrophic nitrification processes in natural soils. In this study, we performed an ¹⁵N tracer experiment with a glycine concentration gradient (20, 40, 80, and 160 mg N kg⁻¹) to investigate the effect of the organic nitrogen concentration on the heterotrophic nitrification rate and its relative contribution to the total nitrification of the studied acidic forest soil. This experiment demonstrated that ¹⁵N–NO₃⁻ accumulated over time with all nitrogen treatments in the presence of acetylene, confirming that heterotrophic nitrification occurred even at a low organic nitrogen concentration (20 mg kg⁻¹) in the studied acidic forest soil. In the presence of acetylene, the ¹⁵N–NO₃⁻ concentration in the 20 and 40 mg kg⁻¹ glycine-N treatments was significantly lower than in the 80 and 160 mg kg⁻¹ glycine-N treatments (p < 0.05), indicating that a high organic nitrogen concentration stimulated the heterotrophic nitrification rate. There was no significant difference in the average contribution of heterotrophic nitrification to total nitrification among the different nitrogen treatments, suggesting that the organic nitrogen concentration did not affect the relative contribution of heterotrophic nitrification to total nitrification in the studied acidic soil. Our results confirmed that a low concentration of organic N (20 mg kg⁻¹) supported heterotrophic nitrification in the studied soil. The organic nitrogen concentration stimulates the heterotrophic nitrification rate, but does not affect the relative contribution of heterotrophic nitrification to total nitrification in the studied acidic soil.     

Effects of soil,grass and legume root extracts on heterotrophic bacteria,nitrogen mineralization and nitrification in soil

The effects of root extracts of four grasses and two legumes and extracts of soils supporting these plants on the growth of five strains of heterotrophic soil bacteria, and on the rate of nitrogen mineralization and nitrification were measured in culture and in soil. All the root extracts inhibited the growth in culture of the five bacteria by 9–98 per cent. The legume-soil and one of the grass-soil extracts did not inhibit bacterial growth. Only two of the grass-soils, Andropogon lectorum and Pennisetum purpureum markedly inhibited the five bacteria. Incubation of soils with extracts of grass roots or grass-soil increased the rates of nitrogen mineralization and nitrification and incubation with legume root and soil extracts increased the rates of nitrogen mineralization and nitrification even further.     

Contribution of denitrification and autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrification to nitrous oxide production in andosols

To quantify the contribution of denitrification and autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrification to N₂O production in Andosols with a relatively high organic matter content, we first examined the effect of C₂H₂ concentrations on N₂O production and on changes in mineral N contents. The optimum C₂H₂ concentration for inhibiting autotrophic nitrification was 10 Pa. Secondly, and Andosol taken from an arable field was incubated for 32 days at 30°C at 60, 80, and 100% water-holding capacity with or without the addition of NH ₄ ⁺ or NO _inf3 ^sup- (200 mg N kg^-1), and subsamples collected every 4–8 days were further incubated for 24 h with or without C₂H₂ (10 Pa). At 60 and 80% water-holding capacity with NH ₄ ⁺ added, 87–92% of N₂O produced (200–250 g N₂O–N kg^-1) was derived from autotrophic nitrification. In contrast, at 100% water-holding capacity with or without added NO _inf3 ^sup- , enormous amounts of N₂O (29–90 mg N₂O–N kg^-1) were produced rapidly, mostly by denitrification (96–98% of total production). Thirdly, to examine N₂O production by heterotrophic nitrification, the Andosol was amended with peptone or NH ₄ ⁺ (both 1000 mg N kg^-1)+citric acid (20 g C kg^-1) and with or without dicyandiamide (200 mg N kg^-1). Treatment with citric acid alone or with citric acid+dicyandiamide suppressed N₂O production. In contrast, peptone increased N₂O production (5.66 mg N₂O–N kg^-1) mainly by denitrification (80% of total production). However, dicyandiamide reduced N₂O production to 1.1 mg N₂O–N kg^-1. These results indicate that autotrophic nitrification was the main process for N₂O production except at 100% water-holding capacity where denitrification became dominant and that heterotrophic nitrification had a lesser importance in the soils examine.Dedicated to Professor J. C. G. Ottow on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

Numbers of autotrophic nitrifiers and nitrification in fertilized forest soil

The most probable number (MPN) method was used to estimate how numbers of autotrophic nitrifiers in Myrtillus-type and Calluna-type pine forest soils in southern Finland were affected by seven different fertilization treatments. No NH⁺₄ oxidizers and only a few hundred NO₂^?1 oxidizers g^?1 of soil were found in unfertilized organic (O) horizons. Ammonium nitrate and nitroform (ureaformaldehyde) had hardly any effect on the nitrifiers. Urea, alone or applied together with apatite + biotite or with apatite + biotite + micronutrients, increased numbers of NH₄⁺ and NO₂^? oxidizers. Wood ash, alone or with apatite, also had a stimulative effect. The effects of the stimulative fertilizers were less in the A₂ horizon than in the O horizon. The MPN counts were considerably affected by the duration of incubation: counts of NH₄⁺ oxidizers kept increasing for at least 8 weeks and counts of NO₂^? oxidizers for at least 15 weeks. These MPN counts were compared with earlier results from incubation experiments on the same soils to find out how they reflect changes in soil nitrification after fertilization.     

Dicyandiamide effects on nitrification and total inorganic soil nitrogen in sandy soils

Abstract

Inhibition of nitrification in soil results in a decreased ratio of nitrate‐nitrogen (NO₃‐N) to ammonium‐nitrogen (NH₄‐N). If the conditions for NO₃‐N loss by leaching or denitrification exist, nitrification inhibitors should increase concentrations of total inorganic soil nitrogen (N) (TISN) (NH₄‐N + NO₃‐N). This can then result in plants taking up more N and developing more crop yield or biomass. This study examined whether inhibition of nitrification by dicyandiamide (DCD) would result in increased concentrations of TISN under field conditions. The effects of DCD on soil N were evaluated in hyperthermic sandy soils planted to potato (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Atlantic). Treatments were factorial combinations of N as ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) at 67, 134, and 202 kg N ha^‐1 and DCD at 0, 5.6, and 11.2 kg DCD ha^‐1. Soil NH₄‐N, NO₃‐N, and TISN concentrations were determined for up to five potato growth stages at two locations for two years for a total of 16 determinations (cases), i.e., four were not determined. The N form ratio [NO₃‐N/(NH₄‐N + NO₃‐N] x 100 was decreased in 10 of 16 cases, indicating that nitrification was inhibited by DCD. With two of these 10 cases, TISN concentration increased, but with four others, TISN concentration decreased with at least one N rate. With four of these 10 cases, inhibition of nitrification had no effect on TISN concentration. Under the conditions of these field studies, DCD inhibited nitrification more often than not. Inhibition of nitrification was, however, more likely to reduce TISN concentration than to increase it. This may have been due to DCD effects on immobization of applied NH₄‐N.     

大棚控制排水对土壤水氮变化的影响

农田排水技术能够解决大棚种植条件下的次生盐渍化问题,因此得到了较广泛的应用。为了分析大棚控制排水条件下的土壤水分和土壤氮素的变化规律,在田间试验的基础上,采用RZWQM（root zone water quality model）模型对不同控制排水处理下的土壤水分含量、土壤氮素含量及氨挥发过程等进行了模拟校正和验证,并利用模型对不同控制排水条件（不同暗管间距和不同控制出口深度）下的水氮变化情况进行了分析。模型在校正阶段的分层含水率模拟均方根误差（RMSE）为0.038～0.050cm3/cm3,验证阶段的分层含水率模拟均方误差（RMSE）为0.040～0.081 cm3/cm3。结果表明：RZWQM模型能够较好的模拟田间水肥变化情况;控制排水对地下水位的控制效果显著但没有对作物的水分利用产生太大影响;不同暗管间距和控制深度下,暗管排水总量、排氮总量和渗漏氮总量都受到了极显著的影响,氮肥利用效率则受暗管间距影响而对控制深度不敏感。

Effect of labile and recalcitrant carbon on heterotrophic nitrification in a subtropical forest soil

Carbon (C) is an important factor controlling heterotrophic nitrification in soil, but the effect of individual C components (e.g., labile and recalcitrant C) is largely unclear. We carried out a C amendment experiment in which either labile C (glucose) or a recalcitrant C (cellulose and biochar) was added to a subtropical forest soil. A ¹⁵N-, ¹³C-tracing and MiSeq sequencing study was performed to investigate soil gross heterotrophic nitrification rates, carbon utilization for soil respiration and microbial biomass production and microbial composition, respectively. After 2 days, results showed a significant increase of gross heterotrophic nitrification rate in glucose (GLU) (on average 3.34 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹), cellulose (CEL) (on average 0.21 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹) and biochar (BIO) (on average 0.13 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹) amendment in comparison with the unamended soil (CK) (on average 0.01 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹; p < 0.05). The contribution of heterotrophic nitrification to total soil nitrification was significantly larger in GLU (average 85.86%), CEL (average 98.52%) and BIO (average 81.25%) treatments compared with CK (average 33.33%; p < 0.01). After 2-month amendment, the gross rates remarkably decreased in GLU (average 0.02 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹), and the contribution to total nitrification (average 8.73%) were significantly lower than that in CK (p < 0.05). A decrease in the proportion of heterotrophic nitrification to total nitrification in soil was also observed in CEL (average 38.40%) and BIO (6.74%) treatments. Nevertheless, BIO amendment (compared to CK, GLU and CEL) showed the highest gross heterotrophic nitrification rate, accompanied by a notably higher abundance of specific heterotrophic nitrifiers, i.e. Trichoderma, Aspergillus and Penicillium. These results point to a stimulatory effect of C addition on soil heterotrophic nitrification in the short term, while the stimulatory impact of C amendment diminishes with the decline in easily available C. In addition, a shift of the microbial composition in the long term can possibly be sustained for longer if additional recalcitrant C is available to heterotrophic nitrifiers. The dynamic response of heterotrophic nitrification to labile and recalcitrant C in this study offered an explanation for the positive effect of plantation and plant root exudation on the process.
