Consumer demand for cleaned squid generates a substantial amount of waste that must be properly disposed of, creating an economic
burden on processors. A potential solution to this problem involves converting squid by-products into an organic fertilizer,
for which there is growing demand. Because fertilizer application to lawns can increase the risk of nutrient contamination
of groundwater, we quantified leaching of NO3–N and PO4–P from perennial ryegrass turf (Lolium perenne L.) amended with two types of fertilizer: squid-based (SQ) and synthetic (SY). Field plots were established on an Enfield
silt loam, and liquid (L) and granular (G) fertilizer formulations of squid and synthetic fertilizers were applied at 0, 48,
146, and 292 kg N ha−1 year−1. Levels of NO3–N and PO4–P in soil pore water from a depth of 60 cm were determined periodically during the growing season in 2008 and 2009. Pore
water NO3–N levels were not significantly different among fertilizer type or formulation within an application rate throughout the
course of the study. The concentration of NO3–N remained below the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg L−1 until midSeptember 2009, when values above the MCL were observed for SQG at all application rates, and for SYL at the high
application rate. Annual mass losses of NO3–N were below the estimated inputs (10 kg N ha−1 year−1) from atmospheric deposition except for the SQG and SYL treatments applied at 292 kg N ha−1 year−1, which had losses of 13.2 and 14.9 kg N ha−1 year−1, respectively. Pore water PO4–P levels ranged from 0 to 1.5 mg P L−1 and were not significantly different among fertilizer type or formulation within an application rate. Our results indicate
that N and P losses from turf amended with squid-based fertilizer do not differ from those amended with synthetic fertilizers
or unfertilized turf. Although organic in nature, squid-based fertilizer does not appear to be more—or less—environmentally
benign than synthetic fertilizers. 相似文献

Crop residues with high C/N ratio immobilize N released during decomposition in soil, thus reducing N losses through leaching,
denitrification, and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission. A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted for 84 days under controlled conditions (24°C and moisture content
55% of water-holding capacity) to study the influence of sugarcane, maize, sorghum, cotton and lucerne residues, and mineral
N addition, on N mineralization–immobilization and N2O emission. Residues were added at the rate of 3 t C ha−1 to soil with, and without, 150 kg urea N ha−1. The addition of sugarcane, maize, and sorghum residues without N fertilizer resulted in a significant immobilization of
soil N. Amended soil had significantly (P < 0.05) lower NO3−–N, which reached minimum values of 2.8 mg N kg−1 for sugarcane (at day 28), 10.3 mg N kg−1 for maize (day 7), and 5.9 mg N kg−1 for sorghum (day 7), compared to 22.7 mg N kg−1 for the unamended soil (day 7). During 84 days of incubation, the total mineral N in the residues + N treatments were decreased
by 45 mg N kg−1 in sugarcane, 34 mg kg−1 in maize, 29 mg kg−1 in sorghum, and 16 mg kg−1 in cotton amended soil compared to soil + N fertilizer, although soil NO3−–N increased by 7 mg kg−1 in lucerne amended soil. The addition of residues also significantly increased amended soil microbial biomass C and N. Maximum
emissions of N2O from crop residue amended soils occurred in the first 4–5 days of incubation. Overall, after 84 days of incubation, the
cumulative N2O emission was 25% lower with cotton + N fertilizer, compared to soil + N fertilizer. The cumulative N2O emission was significantly and positively correlated with NO3−–N (r = 0.92, P < 0.01) and total mineral N (r = 0.93, P < 0.01) after 84 days of incubation, and had a weak but significant positive correlation with cumulative CO2 in the first 3 and 5 days of incubation (r = 0.59, P < 0.05). 相似文献

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of inorganic nitrogen (N) and root carbon (C) addition on decomposition
of organic matter (OM). Soil was incubated for 200 days with nine treatments (three levels of N (no addition (N0) = 0, low
N (NL) = 0.021, high N (NH) = 0.083 mg N g−1 soil) × three levels of C (no addition (C0) = 0, low C (CL) = 5, high C (CH) = 10 mg root g−1 soil)). The carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux rates, inorganic N concentration, pH, and potential activities of β-glucosidase and oxidative enzyme were measured
during incubation. At the beginning and the end of incubation, the native soil organic carbon (SOC) and root-derived SOC were
quantified by using a natural labeling technique based on the differences in δ
13C between C3 and C4 plants. Overall, the interaction between C and N was not significant. The decomposition of OM in the NH
treatment decreased. This could be attributed to the formation of recalcitrant OM by N because the potentially mineralizable
C pool was significantly lower in the NH treatment (3.1 mg C g−1) than in the N0 treatment (3.6 mg C g−1). In root C addition treatments, the CO2 efflux rate was generally in order of CH > CL > C0 over the incubation period. Despite no differences in the total SOC concentration
among C treatments, the native SOC in the CH treatment (18.29 mg C g−1) was significantly lower than that in the C0 treatment (19.16 mg C g−1). 相似文献

Wastewater samples originating from an explosives production plant (3,000 mg N l−1 nitrate, 4.8 mg l−1 nitroglycerin, 1.9 mg l−1 nitroglycol and 1,200 mg l−1 chemical oxygen demand) were subjected to biological purification. An attempt to completely remove nitrate and to decrease
the chemical oxygen demand was carried out under anaerobic conditions. A soil isolated microbial consortium capable of biodegrading
various organic compounds and reduce nitrate to atmospheric nitrogen under anaerobic conditions was used. Complete removal
of nitrates with simultaneous elimination of nitroglycerin and ethylene glycol dinitrate (nitroglycol) was achieved as a result
of the conducted research. Specific nitrate reduction rate was estimated at 12.3 mg N g−1 VSS h−1. Toxicity of wastewater samples during the denitrification process was studied by measuring the activity of dehydrogenases
in the activated sludge. Mutagenicity was determined by employing the Ames test. The maximum mutagenic activity did not exceed
0.5. The obtained results suggest that the studied wastewater samples did not exhibit mutagenic properties. 相似文献

Since swine wastewater is used by farmers for soil fertilization, evaluation of toxic compounds or micro-contaminants of separate
streams is required. This paper uses the toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) procedure for the physicochemical and ecotoxicological
characterization of swine wastewater. To distinguish the most important toxic compounds, a physicochemical characterization
and phase I-TIE procedure were performed. The acute toxic effect of swine wastewater and treated fractions (phase II-TIE)
were evaluated using Daphnia magna determining 48-h LC50. Results show a high level of conductivity (23.5 μS cm−1), which is explained as due to the concentration of ions, such as ammonium (NH4+–N 1.6 g L−1), sulfate (SO42− 397.3 mg L−1), and chlorine (Cl− 1,230.0 mg L−1). The acute toxicity of the swine wastewater was evaluated on D. magna (48-h LC50 = 3.4%). Results of the different water treatments indicate that anionic exchange treatments could reduce 22.5% of swine
wastewater’s acute toxicity by reducing chlorine (to around 51%) and conductivity (8.5%). On the other hand, cationic exchange
treatment increased acute toxicity on D. magna (% RT = −624.4%), by reducing NH4+–N (around 100%) and total nitrogen (95.5%). This finding suggests that part of the toxicity comes from anionic compounds,
such as chlorine. 相似文献

Combination effects of heavy metals and fluoranthene on soil bacteria 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
The effects of (1) Cd, Cu, Zn, and fluoranthene (FLA), separately applied, and (2) combinations of one of these heavy metals
with FLA on the growth of bacteria were studied in agar plate experiments. The bacteria were extracted from A horizons of
a Eutric Regosol and a Calcic Chernozem. Significant reductions of bacterial counts were observed for both soils at concentrations
> 1.0 mg Cd l–1, 0.5 mg Cu l–1, and 0.5 mg Zn l–1, respectively. Additions of FLA up to 100 mg l–1 did not result in increasing reductions of bacterial growth in the Regosol. Only 0.5, 2, and 100 mg FLA l–1 caused significant reductions of 22–27%. Bacterial counts were not affected by 0.2 mg FLA l–1. Low concentrations of heavy metals which were not affective when added separately were found to reduce bacterial growth
when applied in combination with 0.2 mg FLA l–1. At higher levels of heavy metals up to 2.5 mg l–1, addition of FLA also increased the toxicity of the metals. It is assumed that the enhancement of toxicity by FLA is due
to an alteration of the permeability of bacterial cell membranes.

We compared, from 2004 through 2006, rates of soil–atmosphere CH4 exchange at permanently established sampling sites in a temperate forest exposed to ambient (control plots; ∼380 μL L−1) or elevated (ambient + 200 μL L−1) CO2 since August 1996. A total of 880 observations showed net atmospheric CH4 consumption (flux from the atmosphere to the soil) from all static chambers most of the time at rates varying from 0.02 mg m−2 day−1 to 4.5 mg m−2 day−1. However, we infrequently found net CH4 production (flux from the soil to the atmosphere) at lower rates, 0.01 mg m−2 day−1 to 0.08 mg m−2 day−1. For the entire study, the mean (±SEM) rate of net CH4 consumption in control plots was higher than the mean for CO2-enriched plots, 0.55 (0.03) versus 0.51 (0.03) mg m−2 day−1. Annual rates of 184, 196, and 197 mg m−2 for net CH4 consumption at control plots during the three calendar years of this study were 19, 10, and 8% higher than comparable values
for CO2 enriched plots. Differences between treatments were significant in 2004 and 2005 and nearly significant in 2006. Volumetric
soil water content was consistently higher at CO2-enriched sites and a mixed-effects model identified a significant soil moisture x CO2 interaction on net atmospheric CH4 consumption. Increased soil moisture at CO2-enriched sites likely increases diffusional resistance of surface soils and the frequency of anaerobic microsites supporting
methanogenesis, resulting in reduced rates of net atmospheric CH4 consumption. Our study extends our observations of reduced net atmospheric CH4 consumption at CO2-enriched plots to nearly five continuous years, suggesting that this is likely a sustained negative feedback to increasing
atmospheric CO2 at this site. 相似文献

Water quantity and quality were monitored for 3 years in a 360-m-long wetland with riparian fences and plants in a pastoral
dairy farming catchment. Concentrations of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and Escherichia coli were 210–75,200 g N m−3, 12–58,200 g P m−3 and 2–20,000 most probable number (MPN)/100 ml, respectively. Average retentions (±standard error) for the wetland over 3 years
were 5 ± 1%, 93 ± 13% and 65 ± 9% for TN, TP and E. coli, respectively. Retentions for nitrate–N, ammonium–N, filterable reactive P and particulate C were respectively −29 ± 5%,
32 ± 10%, −53 ± 24% and 96 ± 19%. Aerobic conditions within the wetland supported nitrification but not denitrification and
it is likely that there was a high conversion rate from dissolved inputs of N and P in groundwater, to particulate N and P
and refractory dissolved forms in the wetland. The wetland was notable for its capacity to promote the formation of particulate
forms and retain them or to provide conditions suitable for retention (e.g. binding of phosphate to cations). Nitrogen retention
was generally low because about 60% was in dissolved forms (DON and NOX–N) that were not readily trapped or removed. Specific yields for N, P and E. coli were c. 10–11 kg N ha−1 year−1, 0.2 kg P ha−1 year−1 and ≤109 MPN ha−1 year−1, respectively, and generally much less than ranges for typical dairy pasture catchments in New Zealand. Further mitigation
of catchment runoff losses might be achieved if the upland wetland was coupled with a downslope wetland in which anoxic conditions
would promote denitrification. 相似文献

Purpose
The effects of the addition of an acidic fertilizer solution and/or slaked lime (5.5 g Ca(OH)2 kg−1) on a slightly acidic shooting range soil (pH 6.1, % organic carbon 5.4) with moderate metal (e.g., 620 mg kg−1 Pb) and metalloid (17 mg kg−1 Sb) concentrations on metal and Sb solubility and plant accumulation were investigated. 相似文献10.
Rates of methane uptake were measured in incubation studies with intact cores from adjacent fenland peats that have been
under arable management and woodland management for at least the past 30 years. On two separate occasions the woodland peat
showed greater rates of uptake than the arable peat. These rates ranged from 23.1 to 223.3 μg CH4 m–2 day–1 for the woodland peat and from 29.6 to 157.6 μg CH4 m–2 day–1 for the arable peat. When the peats were artificially flooded there was a decrease in the rate of methane oxidation, but
neither site showed any net efflux of methane. 15N isotopic dilution was used to characterise nitrogen cycling within the two peats. Both showed similar rates of gross nitrogen
mineralisation (3.58 mg N kg–1 day–1, arable peat; 3.54 N kg–1 day–1, woodland peat) and ammonium consumption (4.19 arable peat and 4.70 mg N kg–1 day–1 woodland peat). There were significant differences in their inorganic ammonium and nitrate pool sizes, and the rate of gross
nitrification was significantly higher in the woodland peat (4.90 mg N kg–1 day–1) compared to the arable peat (1.90 mg N kg–1 day–1). These results are discussed in the light of high atmospheric nitrogen deposition.

Altered soil nutrient cycling under future climate scenarios may affect pasture production and fertilizer management. We conducted
a controlled-environment study to test the hypothesis that long-term exposure of pasture to enriched carbon dioxide (CO2) would lower soil nutrient availability. Perennial ryegrass was grown for 9 weeks under ambient and enriched (ambient + 120 ppm)
CO2 concentrations in soil collected from an 11.5-year free air CO2 enrichment experiment in a grazed pasture in New Zealand. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers were applied in a full
factorial design at rates of 0, 12.5, 25 or 50 kg N ha−1 and 0, 17.5 or 35 kg P ha−1. Compared to ambient CO2, under enriched CO2 without P fertilizer, total plant biomass did not respond to N fertilizer, and tissue N/P ratio was increased indicating
that P was co-limiting. This limitation was alleviated with the lowest rate of P fertilizer (17.5 kg P ha−1). Plant biomass in both CO2 treatments increased with increasing N fertilizer when sufficient P was available. Greater inputs of P fertilizer may be
required to prevent yield suppression under enriched CO2 and to stimulate any response to N. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the chemical nature and application frequency of N fertilizers at
different moisture contents on soil N2O emissions and N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio. The research was based on five fertilization treatments: unfertilized control, a single application of 80 kg ha−1 N-urea, five split applications of 16 kg ha−1 N-urea, a single application of 80 kg ha−1 N–KNO3, five split applications of 16 kg ha−1 N–KNO3. Cumulative N2O emissions for 22 days were unaffected by fertilization treatments at 32% water-filled pore space (WFPS). At 100% and 120%
WFPS, cumulative N2O emissions were highest from soil fertilized with KNO3. The split application of N fertilizers decreased N2O emissions compared to a single initial application only when KNO3 was applied to a saturated soil, at 100% WFPS. Emissions of N2O were very low after the application of urea, similar to those found at unfertilized soil. Average N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio values were significantly affected by moisture levels (p = 0.015), being the lowest at 120% WFPS. The N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio averaged 0.2 in unfertilized soil and 0.5 in fertilized soil, although these differences were not statistically significant. 相似文献

Denitrification plays an important role in N-cycling. However, information on the rates of denitrification from horticultural
growing media is rare in literature. In this study, the effects of pH, N, C, and moisture contents on denitrification were
investigated using four moderately decomposed peat types (oligotrophic, mesotrophic, eutrophic, and transitional). Basal and potential denitrification rates (20°C, 18 h) from the unlimed peat samples varied widely from 2.0 to 21.8 and
from 118.9 to 306.6 μg (N2O + N2)–N L−1 dry peat h−1, respectively, with the highest rates from the eutrophic peat and the lowest from the transitional one. Both basal and potential
denitrification rates were substantially increased by 3.6–14- and 1.4–2.3-fold, respectively, when the initial pH (4.3–4.8)
was raised to 5.9–6.5 units. Emissions of (N2O + N2)–N from oligotrophic, mesotrophic, and transitional peats were markedly increased by the addition of 0.15 g NO3–N L−1 dry peat but further additions had no effect. Denitrification rates were increased by increasing glucose concentration suggesting
that the activity of denitrifiers in all peat types was limited by the low availability of easily decomposable C source. Increasing
moisture contents of all peats from 40 to 50% water-filled pore space (WFPS) did not significantly (p > 0.05) increase (N2O + N2)–N emissions. However, a positive effect was observed when the moisture contents were increased from 60% to 70% WFPS in the
eutrophic peat, from 70% to 80% in the transitional, from 80% to 90% in the oligotrophic and from 70% to 90% in the mesotrophic
peat. It can be concluded that liming, N-fertilization, availability of easily decomposable C, and moist condition above 60%
WFPS could encourage denitrification from peats although the rates are greatly influenced by the peat-forming environments
(eutrophic > mesotrophic > oligotrophic > transitional types). 相似文献

Synthetic and persistent endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) have been frequently detected
in the effluent of wastewater treatment plants and induce hazards to humans and wildlife. In this study, biogenic Mn oxides
were tested for the removal of EE2, and factors affecting the reaction were also investigated. The biogenic Mn oxides produced
by Pseudomonas putida strain MnB1 were nano-sized and poorly crystallized particles. A concentration of 7.9 mg l−1 biogenic Mn oxides showed 87% EE2 (1 mg l−1) removal efficiency in 2 h, which confirms the excellent potential of biogenic Mn oxides for removal of estrogens. EE2 removal
was enhanced at high Mn oxide doses and at low pH. Co-existing heavy metals significantly inhibit EE2 removal, due to their
competition for the reactive sites of biogenic Mn oxides. Humic acid (HA) also obstructed EE2 removal, but the adverse effect
was alleviated as HA concentration increased, possibly due to the formation of soluble complexes with the released Mn2+, of which adsorption onto Mn oxides reduces surface reactive sites. 相似文献

Perchlorate (ClO4−), a thyroid hormone disruptor, is both naturally occurring and a man-made contaminant increasingly found in a variety of
terrestrial environments. The environmental presence of ClO4− is considered to be the result of atmospheric formation and deposition processes. The ultimate processes, particularly heterogeneous-based
reactions, leading to natural ClO4− formation are not well understood. Oxidation of chlorine species by an energetic source such as lightning is considered to
be one of the potential heterogeneous sources of natural ClO4−. Currently, there is very little information available on lightning-induced ClO4−. We designed a laboratory electrical discharge reactor capable of evaluating ClO4− formation by the oxidation of “dry” sodium chloride (NaCl) aerosols (relative humidity (RH) <70%) in electrical discharge
plasma at voltages and energies up to 24 kV and 21 kJ, respectively. Similar to other non-electrochemical ClO4− production processes, the amount of ClO4− produced (0.5–4.8 μg) was 3 orders of magnitude lower than the input Cl− (7.1–60.1 mg). The amount of ClO4− generated increased with peak voltage (V) and theoretical maximum discharge energy with ΔClO4−/ΔV = 0.28 × 10−3 μg V−1 (R
2 = 0.94) and ΔClO4−/ΔE = 0.44 × 10−3 μg J−1 (R
2 = 0.83). The total ClO4− generated decreased with an increase in relative humidity from 2.8 ± 0.1 μg (RH ∼46%) to 0.9 ± 0.1 μg (RH ∼62%) indicating
that the presence of moisture inhibits the formation of ClO4−. Additional modifications to the reactor support the hypothesis of ClO4− formation due to the action of plasma on Cl− aerosols as opposed to direct oxidation on the surface of the electrodes. Finally, the contribution of lightning-induced
ClO4− in North America is calculated to have a wide range from 0.006 × 105 to 5 × 105 kg/year and is within the range of the measured ClO4− depositional flux in precipitation samples obtained across the USA (0.09 × 105–1.2 × 105 kg/y). 相似文献

Poultry litter (PL) is an important nutrient source; however, no information is available regarding its value in supplying
N and P in rice–wheat (RW) production. A three-year field study was conducted at Ludhiana, Punjab, India on a loamy sand soil
to identify optimum combination of PL and N and P fertilizers for a sustainable RW production. The litter was applied to rice
at 5 Mg ha−1 as a single application and supplemented with different rates of N. The residual effect of PL and the direct effects of the
different combinations of N and P were studied in the following wheat. Nitrogen and P mineralization from PL was studied under
controlled conditions in the laboratory, and macronutrient input–output balances were estimated from field results. About
46% of the N from PL was released after 60 days of incubation. The release of P from the PL occurred mainly during the initial
20 days after incubation, accounting for 15–17% of the total P. Combining PL with fertilizer N (40 kg ha−1) increased rice yield and nutrient uptake similar to what was obtained with the application of recommended fertilizer N (120 kg
ha−1). In the following wheat, the residual effect of PL was equal to 30 kg N ha−1 and 13 kg P ha−1. After three annual cropping cycles and PL application, mean soil organic C increased by 17%, Olsen-P by 73%, and NH4OAc-extractable-K by 24%. Most treatments had positive P but negative K balances. About 11% of the net P balance was recovered
from the soil as Olsen-P. The study showed that optimum N and P fertilizer doses for an RW system receiving 5 Mg ha−1 of PL are 40 kg N ha−1 for rice and 90 kg N + 13 kg P ha−1 for the following wheat. Safe and effective management of PL should be based on P balance, particularly when regular applications
of PL are to be made in the RW system. 相似文献

This work aims to identify and characterize heavy metal contamination in a fluvial system from Cartagena–La Unión mining district
(SE Spain). In order to assess the dynamics of transport and the accumulation of heavy metals, sediments, surface water and
vegetation, samples along “El Avenque” stream were collected. The former direct dumps of wastes and the presence of tailing
ponds adjacent to the watercourse have contributed to the total contamination of the stream. Total Cd (103 mg kg−1), Cu (259 mg kg−1), Pb (26,786 mg kg−1) and Zn (9,312 mg kg−1) in sediments were above the limits of European legislation, being highest where tailing ponds are located. Bioavailable
metals were high (3.55 mg Cd kg−1, 6.45 mg Cu kg−1, 4,200 mg Pb kg−1 and 343 mg Zn kg−1) and followed the same trend than total contents. Metals in water were higher in sampling points close to ponds, exceeding
World Health Organization guidelines for water quality. There is a direct effect of solubilisation of sediment metals in water
with high contents of SO42−, product of the oxidation of original sulphides. The mobility of metals varied significantly with shifts in pH. Downstream,
available and soluble metals concentrations decreased mainly due to precipitation by increments in pH. As a general pattern,
no metal was bioaccumulated by any tested plant. Thus, native vegetation has adopted physiological mechanisms not to accumulate
metals. This information allows the understanding of the effect of mining activities on stream contamination, enforcing the
immediate intervention to reduce risks related to metals’ mobility. 相似文献

The study examined the influence of compost and mineral fertilizer application on the content and stability of soil organic
carbon (SOC). Soil samples collected from a long-term field experiment were separated into macroaggregate, microaggregate,
and silt + clay fractions by wet-sieving. The experiment involved seven treatments: compost, half-compost N plus half-fertilizer
N, fertilizer NPK, fertilizer NP, fertilizer NK, fertilizer PK, and control. The 18-year application of compost increased
SOC by 70.7–121.7%, and mineral fertilizer increased by 5.4–25.5%, with no significant difference between control soil and
initial soil. The C mineralization rate (rate per unit dry mass) in microaggregates was 1.52–2.87 mg C kg−1 day−1, significantly lower than in macroaggregate and silt + clay fractions (P < 0.05). Specific C mineralization rate (rate per unit SOC) in silt + clay fraction amounted to 0.48–0.87 mg C g−1 SOC day−1 and was higher than in macroaggregates and microaggregates. Our data indicate that SOC in microaggregates is more stable
than in macroaggregate and silt + clay fractions. Compost and mineral fertilizer application increased C mineralization rate
in all aggregates compared with control. However, compost application significantly decreased specific C mineralization rate
in microaggregate and silt + clay fractions by 2.6–28.2% and 21.9–25.0%, respectively (P < 0.05). By contrast, fertilizer NPK application did not affect specific C mineralization rate in microaggregates but significantly
increased that in silt + clay fractions. Carbon sequestration in compost-amended soil was therefore due to improving SOC stability
in microaggregate and silt + clay fractions. In contrast, fertilizer NPK application enhanced SOC with low stability in macroaggregate
and silt + clay fractions. 相似文献

Simple and rapid chemical indices of soil nitrogen (N)-supplying capacity are necessary for fertilizer recommendations. In
this study, pot experiment involving rice, anaerobic incubation, and chemical analysis were conducted for paddy soils collected
from nine locations in the Taihu Lake region of China. The paddy soils showed large variability in N-supplying capacity as
indicated by the total N uptake (TNU) by rice plants in a pot experiment, which ranged from 639.7 to 1,046.2 mg N pot−1 at maturity stage, representing 5.8% of the total soil N on average. Anaerobic incubation for 3, 14, 28, and 112 days all
resulted in a significant (P < 0.01) correlation between cumulative mineral NH4+-N and TNU, but generally better correlations were obtained with increasing incubation time. Soil organic C, total soil N,
microbial C, and ultraviolet absorbance of NaHCO3 extract at 205 and 260 nm revealed no clear relationship with TNU or cumulative mineral NH4+-N. Soil C/N ratio, acid KMnO4-NH4+-N, alkaline KMnO4-NH4+-N, phosphate–borate buffer extractable NH4+-N (PB-NH4+-N), phosphate–borate buffer hydrolyzable NH4+-N (PBHYDR-NH4+-N) and hot KCl extractable NH4+-N (HKCl−NH4+-N) were all significantly (P < 0.05) related to TNU and cumulative mineral NH4+-N of long-term incubation (>28 days). However, the best chemical index of soil N-supplying capacity was the soil C/N ratio,
which showed the highest correlation with TNU at maturity stage (R = −0.929, P < 0.001) and cumulative mineral NH4+-N (R = −0.971, P < 0.001). Acid KMnO4-NH4+-N plus native soil NH4+-N produced similar, but slightly worse predictions of soil N-supplying capacity than the soil C/N ratio. 相似文献

The effects of crop manure and inorganic fertilizers on composition of microbial communities of central high land soils of
Kenya are poorly known. For this reason, we have carried out a thirty-two-year-old long-term trial in Kabete, Kenya. These
soils were treated with organic (maize stover (MS) at 10 t ha−1, farmyard manure (FYM) at 10 t ha−1) and inorganic fertilizers 120 kg N, 52.8 kg P (N2P2), N2P2 + MS, N2P2 + FYM, a control, and a fallow for over 30 years. We examined 16S rRNA gene and 28S rRNA gene fingerprints of bacterial and
fungal diversity by PCR amplification and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis separation, respectively. The PCR bacterial
community structure and diversity were negatively affected by N2P2 and were more closely related to the bacterial structure in the soils without any addition (control) than that of soils with
a combination of inorganic and organic or inorganic fertilizers alone. The effect on fungal diversity by N2P2 was different than the effect on bacterial diversity since the fungal diversity was similar to that of the N2P2 + FYM and N2P2 + MS-treated. However, soils treated with organic inputs clustered away from soils amended with inorganic inputs. Organic
inputs had a positive effect on both bacterial and fungal diversity with or without chemical fertilizers. Results from this
study suggested that total diversity of bacterial and fungal communities was closely related to agro-ecosystem management
practices and may partially explain the yield differences observed between the different treatments. 相似文献
