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

Long-term effects of mineral fertilization on microbial biomass C (MBC), basal respiration (R
B), substrate-induced respiration (R
S), β-glucosidase activity, and the r–K-growth strategy of soil microflora were investigated using a field trial on grassland established in 1969. The experimental
plots were fertilized at three rates of mineral N (0, 80, and 160 kg ha−1 year−1) with 32 kg P ha−1 year−1 and 100 kg K ha−1 year−1. No fertilizer was applied on the control plots (C). The application of a mineral fertilizer led to lower values of the MBC
and R
B, probably as a result of fast mineralization of available substrate after an input of the mineral fertilizer. The application
of mineral N decreased the content of C extracted by 0.5 M K2SO4 (C
ex). A positive correlation was found between pH and the proportion of active microflora (R
S/MBC). The specific growth rate (μ) of soil heterotrophs was higher in the fertilized than in unfertilized soils, suggesting the stimulation of r-strategists, probably as the result of the presence of available P and rhizodepositions. The cessation of fertilization with
320 kg N ha−1 year−1 (NF) in 1989 also stimulated r-strategists compared to C soil, probably as the result of the higher content of available P in the NF soil than in the C
soil. 相似文献

Elevated emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta and higher foliar nitrogen (N) concentrations in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) needles close to major emission sources has led to concerns that the surrounding boreal forest may become N-saturated. Despite
these concerns, N deposition and impacts on upland forests in the region is poorly quantified. The objective of this study
was to characterize N cycling in five plots representing the two dominant upland forest types (jack pine and trembling aspen,
Populus tremuloides) close (<30 km) to the largest mining operations in the region, during a 2-year period. Despite the high level of NOx emissions, bulk throughfall and deposition measured at both study sites were surprisingly very low (<2 kg N ha−1 year−1). Internal N cycling was much greater in aspen stands; annual N input in litterfall was ten times greater, and net N mineralization
rates were two to five times greater than in jack pine stands. Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) was much greater in jack pine
when calculated based on N litterfall indices, but not when N pools in biomass were considered. Despite differences in internal
cycling among forest types, nitrate leaching from mineral soil in both forest types was negligible (<0.1 kg N ha−1 year−1) and patterns of 15N in roots, foliage, and mineral soil were typical of N-limited ecosystems, and both sites show no evidence of N saturation. 相似文献

Total gaseous mercury (TGM) fluxes from the forest floor and a boreal wetland were measured by a flux chamber technique coupled
with an automatic mercury vapour analyser. The fluxes were measured at three sampling sites in southern Finland, 61°14′ N,
25°04′ E in summer 2007, with additionally in situ TGM concentrations in the air at one of the sites and mercury bulk deposition
at another. Most of the flux data were collected during the daytime. At one of the sites, diurnal flux behaviour was studied,
and a clear cycle with an afternoon maximum and a night minimum was observed. The highest emissions (up to 3.5 ng m−2 h−1) were observed at the forest floor site having a moss and grass cover. At the wetland and litter-rich forest floor sites,
the emissions were below 1 ng m−2 h−1 and sometimes negative (down to −1.0 ng m−2 h−1), indicating mercury uptake. The measured average fluxes in August were 0.9 ± 1.1 and 0.2 ± 0.3 ng m−2 h−1 for the forest floor sites and wetland sites, respectively. The flux data were compared with the mercury bulk deposition,
which proved to be of the same magnitude, but opposite in sign. At the mossy forest floor site, the extrapolated TGM emissions
were 130% of the Hg deposition in August 2007. Comparison with other studies showed that the fluxes in background areas are
relatively uniform, regardless of measurement site location and method used. Airborne TGM remained at the background level
during the study, with an average value of 1.3 ± 0.2 ng m−3; it frequently showed a diurnal cycle pattern. 相似文献

Poultry (Gallus gallus domesticus L.) litter (PL) is a readily available nutrient source for crop production in the Southeast USA. Long-term PL application
may alter availability of N and the effect may be dependent on tillage practice. Tillage [no till (NT) vs. conventional (CT)]
and N source (PL vs. commercial fertilizer CF) effects on N availability and plant uptake were evaluated in years 9, 10, and
11 of a long-term cropping systems study at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, J.
Phil Campbell Sr. Natural Resource Conservation Center, Watkinsville, GA, USA. Mineral N in the top 10 cm, measured in situ,
varied each year and was influenced by time, tillage, and N source. In 2003 (year 9), soil mineral N content was greater in
CT–CF (100 kg ha−1) than in NT–PL (95 kg ha−1) but in 2004 (year 10) and 2005 (year 11) it was lower in CT–CF (93 and 60 kg ha−1) compared to NT–PL (140 and 71 kg ha−1). Nitrogen mineralization rates were generally greater for PL than for CF treatments with the difference being almost 1 kg ha−1 day−1 in 2003. Mineralization rates were greater for NT–PL compared to CT–CF in 2004 and 2005. Across the three growing seasons,
corn (Zea mays L.) aboveground biomass was consistently greater in the NT–PL treatment than in the NT–CF and CT–CF treatments. Correlation
between aboveground biomass and N mineralization was greater for PL than for CF (0.75 vs. 0.48). Patterns of N mineralization
and total soil mineral N indicated that the distribution of N through the growing season more closely matched corn N demand
in PL treatments. Results indicate that improved N availability through the growing season, by combining NT and PL, can result
in more profitable corn production in the southeast. 相似文献

The response of faba bean to the application of four rates of gypsum (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 t ha−1) to a non-saline, alkaline sodic soil was measured in terms of grain yield, dry matter (DM) production, N accumulation and
the proportional dependence of the legume on symbiotic N2 fixation (P
atm). A yield-independent, time-integrated 15N-dilution model was used to estimate symbiotic dependence. A significant decrease in the exchangeable sodium percentage and
significant increases in exchangeable Ca++ and the Ca++:Mg++ ratio in the 0–10-cm soil layer were measured 30 months after application of 10 t ha−1 gypsum. Despite low and erratic rainfall during crop growth, faba bean DM and N uptake responded positively to gypsum application.
The symbiotic dependence of the legume at physiological maturity was little affected by sodicity (P
atm = 0.74 at zero gypsum and 0.81–0.82 at 2.5–10 t ha−1 gypsum). The increase in fixed N due to gypsum application was mainly due to increases in legume DM and total N uptake. At
10 t ha−1 of gypsum, faba bean fixed more than 200 kg N ha−1 in above-ground biomass. 相似文献

Crop residues and fertilizer nitrogen influence residue decomposition and nitrous oxide emission from a Vertisol 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

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

Cattle feedyards can impact local environments through emission of ammonia and dust deposited on nearby land. Impacts range
from beneficial fertilization of cropland to detrimental effects on sensitive ecosystems. Shortgrass prairie downwind from
an adjacent feedyard on the southern High Plains of Texas, USA changed from perennial grasses to annual weeds. It was hypothesized
that N enrichment from the feedyard initiated the cascade of negative ecological change. Objectives were to determine the
distribution of soil nitrogen and estimate N loading to the pasture. Soil samples were collected from 119 locations across
the pasture and soil total N (TN), nitrate-N and ammonium-N (AN) determined in the top 30 cm. Soil TN concentration decreased
with distance downwind from the feedyard from 1.6 ± 0.2 g kg−1 at 75 m to 1.2 ± 0.05 g kg−1 at 582 m. Nitrate-N concentration decreased within 200 m of the feedyard and changed little at greater distances. Ammonium-N
concentration decreased linearly (P < 0.001) with increasing distance from the feedyard from 7.9 ± 1.7 mg kg−1 within 75 m from the feedyard to 5.8 ± 1.5 mg kg−1 at more than 550 m from the feedyard; however, distance only explained 12% of the variability in AN concentration. Maximum
nitrogen loading, from 75 to 106 m from the feedyard, was 49 kg ha−1 year−1 over 34 years and decreased with distance from the feedyard. An estimate of net dry deposition of ammonia indicated that
it contributed negligibly to N loading to the pasture. Nitrogen enrichment that potentially shifted vegetation from perennial
grasses to annual weeds affected soil N up to 500 m from the feedyard; however, measured organic and inorganic N beyond that
returned to typical and expected levels for undisturbed shortgrass prairie.

Several studies have focused on the formation and losses of dissolved organic matter in forest systems, whereas a limited number have dealt with this aspect in agricultural soils. The purpose of this study was to estimate the leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON), with focus on the period after cultivating grass-clover swards. Grass-clovers were ploughed in the spring prior to sowing cereals followed by either catch crops or bare soil. The concentrations of DOC and DON decreased with soil depth and ranged at 90-cm soil depth between 7 and 21 mg C L−1 and between 1 and 3 mg N L−1, respectively, in a sandy loam soil, and between 16 and 63 mg C L−1 and between 1 and 10 mg N L−1, respectively, in a coarse sandy soil. The resulting DOC/DON ratios were in the range between 2 and 42, with higher values in the coarse sandy soil than in the sandy loam soil. The total percolation was 218 mm in the sandy loam soil and 596–645 mm in the coarse sandy soil, which resulted in an annual leaching of 22–40 kg DOC ha−1 year−1 and 3–4 kg DON ha−1 year−1 in the sandy loam soil, and 174–310 kg DOC ha−1 year−1 and 10–31 kg DON ha−1 year−1 in the coarse sandy soil. It was shown that higher amounts of DOC were lost by leaching under the catch crops than from bare soil, that losses of DON were higher from bare soil than from soils with catch crops and that DON contributed significantly to the total N loss. Thus, DON needs to be taken into account in N-balance calculations. 相似文献

Two emergent macrophytes, Arundo donax and Phragmites australis, were established in experimental subsurface flow, gravel-based constructed wetlands (CWs) and challenged by untreated stormwater
collected from the hard-pan and other surfaces of a dairy processing factory in south-west Victoria, Australia. The hydraulic
loading rate was tested at two levels, sequentially, 3.75 and 7.5 cm day−1. Some of the monitored variables were removed more efficiently by the planted beds in comparison to unplanted CWs (biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP); p < 0.007) but there was no significant difference between the A. donax and P. australis CWs in removal of BOD, suspended solids (SS) and TN (p > 0.007) at 3.75 cm day−1 or SS and TN at 7.5 cm day−1. At 3.75 cm day−1, BOD, SS, TN and TP removal in the A. donax and P. australis CWs was 71%, 61%, 78% and 75% and 65%, 60%, 73% and 41%, respectively. Nutrient removal at 7.5 cm day−1 in the A. donax and P. australis beds was 87%, 91%, 84% and 71% and 96%, 94%, 87% and 55%, respectively. As expected, the A. donax CWs produced considerably more biomass (10 ± 1.2 kg wet weight) than the P. australis CWs (2.7 ± 1.2 kg wet weight). This equates to approximately 107 and 36 tonnes ha−1 year−1 biomass (dry weight) for A. donax and P. australis, respectively (assuming 250 days of growing season and single-cut harvest). The performance similarity of the A. donax- and P. australis-planted CWs indicates that either may be used in HSSF wetlands treating dairy factory stormwater, although the planting of
A. donax provides additional opportunities for secondary income streams through utilisation of the biomass produced. 相似文献

The photochemical degradation of two widely used organophosphorothioate insecticides, fenitrothion and diazinon, was investigated
in aqueous solutions containing three separate dissolved constituents commonly found in natural waters (NO3−, CO32− and dissolved organic matter (DOC)). The effect of these constituents on pesticide photodegradation was compared to degradation
in “constituent-free” pure water. Solutions were irradiated in an Atlas solar simulator fitted with a UV-filtered Xenon arc
lamp with light irradiances (500 W m−2) measured using a spectral radiometer to allow derivation of quantum yields of degradation. Fenitrothion absorbs light within
the solar UV range (λ, 295–400 nm) and underwent direct photolysis in pure water whereas diazinon (λ
max ∼250 nm) showed no observable loss over the experimental period. However, photodegradation conforming to pseudo-first-order
kinetics was observed for both chemicals in the presence of the dissolved constituents (at concentrations typically observed
in natural waters), with the rates of photodecay observed in the order of NO3− > CO32− ≅ DOC, with the highest rates observed in the 3 mM NO3− solutions (k
Fen = 0.155 ± 0.041 h−1; k
Dia = 0.084 ± 0.0007 h−1). For diazinon this rate was comparable to fenitrothion photolysis in pure water (k
fen 0.072 ± 0.0078 h−1), highlighting the importance of NO3− on a non-photolabile pesticide, with indirect photodegradation probably attributable to the light-induced release of aqueous
hydroxyl radicals (·OH) from NO3−. Suwannee river fulvic acid (serving as DOC) did not statistically affect the rate of photodecay for fenitrothion relative
to its photolysis in MilliQ water, although measured rates in DOC solutions were slightly lower. However, measurable rates
of photodecay were apparent for diazinon in the DOC solutions, indicating that fulvic acid, possibly in the form of “excited”
triplet-state-DOC plays a role in diazinon transformation. Hydrolysis was not apparent for fenitrothion (in buffered solutions
of pH 5–9) but was notable for diazinon at the lower pHs of 5 and 3 (k
Dia-hyd 0.3414 h−1 at pH 3 and 0.228 h−1 at pH 5), resulting in the formation of the degradate, 2-isopropyl–6-methyl–4-pyrimidinol. This work highlights the importance
of dissolved constituents on abiotic photodegradation of pesticides and it is recommended that these constituents be incorporated
into laboratory-based fate-testing regimes. 相似文献

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, soil microbial community structure, bulk density, total pore volume, total C and N, aggregate mean weight diameter
and stability index were determined in arable soils under three different types of tillage: reduced tillage (RT), no tillage
(NT) and conventional tillage (CT). Thirty intact soil cores, each in a 25 × 25-m2 grid, were collected to a depth of 10 cm at the seedling stage of winter wheat in February 2008 from Maulde (50°3′ N, 3°43′ W),
Belgium. Two additional soil samples adjacent to each soil core were taken to measure the spatial variance in biotic and physicochemical
conditions. The microbial community structure was evaluated by means of phospholipid fatty acids analysis. Soil cores were
amended with 15 kg NO3−-N ha−1, 15 kg NH4+-N ha−1 and 30 kg ha−1 urea-N ha−1 and then brought to 65% water-filled pore space and incubated for 21 days at 15°C, with regular monitoring of N2O emissions. The N2O fluxes showed a log-normal distribution with mean coefficients of variance (CV) of 122%, 78% and 90% in RT, NT and CT, respectively,
indicating a high spatial variation. However, this variability of N2O emissions did not show plot scale spatial dependence. The N2O emissions from RT were higher (p < 0.01) than from CT and NT. Multivariate analysis of soil properties showed that PC1 of principal component analysis had
highest loadings for aggregate mean weight diameter, total C and fungi/bacteria ratio. Stepwise multiple regression based
on soil properties explained 72% (p < 0.01) of the variance of N2O emissions. Spatial distributions of soil properties controlling N2O emissions were different in three different tillages with CV ranked as RT > CT > NT. 相似文献

Influence of nitrogen on cellulose and lignin mineralization in blackwater and redwater forested wetland soils 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Microcosms were used to determine the influence of N additions on active bacterial and active fungal biomass, cellulose degradation
and lignin degradation at 5, 10 and 15 weeks in soils from blackwater and redwater wetlands in the northern Florida panhandle.
Blackwater streams contain a high dissolved organic C concentration which imparts a dark color to the water and contain low
concentrations of nutrients. Redwater streams contain high concentrations of suspended clays and inorganic nutrients, such
as N and P, compared to blackwater streams. Active bacterial and fungal biomass was determined by direct microscopy; cellulose
and lignin degradation were measured radiometrically. The experimental design was a randomized block. Treatments were: soil
type (blackwater or redwater forested wetlands) and N additions (soils amended with the equivalent of 0, 200 or 400 kg N ha–1 as NH4NO3). Redwater soils contained higher concentrations of C, total N, P, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, B and Zn than blackwater soils. After N
addition and 15 weeks of incubation, the active bacterial biomass in redwater soils was lower than in blackwater soils; the
active bacterial biomass in blackwater soils was lower when 400 kg N ha–1, but not when 200 kg N ha–1, was added. The active fungal biomass in blackwater soils was higher when 400 kg N ha–1, but not when 200 kg N ha–1, was added. The active fungal biomass in redwater wetland soils was lower when 200 kg N ha–1, but not when 400 kg N ha–1, was added. Cellulose and lignin degradation was higher in redwater than in blackwater soils. After 10 and 15 weeks of incubation,
the addition of 200 or 400 kg N as NH4NO3 ha–1 decreased cellulose and lignin degradation in both wetland soils to similar levels. This study indicated that the addition
of N may slow organic matter degradation and nutrient mineralization, thereby creating deficiencies of other plant-essential
nutrients in wetland forest soils.

Influence of nitrogen on atrazine and 2, 4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid mineralization in blackwater and redwater forested wetland soils 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J. A. Entry 《Biology and Fertility of Soils》1999,29(4):348-353
Microcosms were used to determine the influence of N additions on active bacterial and fungal biomass, atrazine and dichlorophenoxyacetic
acid (2,4-D) mineralization at 5, 10 and 15 weeks in soils from blackwater and redwater wetland forest ecosystems in the northern
Florida Panhandle. Active bacterial and fungal biomass was determined by staining techniques combined with direct microscopy.
Atrazine and 2,4-D mineralization were measured radiometrically. Treatments were: soil type, (blackwater or redwater forested
wetland soils) and N additions (soils amended with the equivalent of 0, 200 or 400 kg N ha–1 as NH4NO3). Redwater soils contained higher concentrations of C, total N, P, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, B and Zn than blackwater soils. After N
addition and 15 weeks of incubation, active bacterial biomass in redwater soils was lower when N was added. Active bacterial
biomass in blackwater soils was lower when 400 kg N ha–1, but not when 200 kg N ha–1, was added. Active fungal biomass in blackwater soils was higher when 400 kg N ha–1, but not when 200 kg N ha–1, was added. Active fungal biomass in redwater soils was lower when 200 kg N ha–1, but not when 400 kg N ha–1, was added. After 15 weeks of incubation 2,4-D degradation was higher in redwater wetland soils than in blackwater soils.
After 10 and 15 weeks of incubation the addition of 200 or 400 kg N ha–1 decreased both atrazine and 2,4-D degradation in redwater soils. The addition of 400 kg N ha–1 decreased 2,4-D degradation but not atrazine degradation in blackwater soils after 10 and 15 weeks of incubation. High concentrations
of N in surface runoff and groundwater resulting from agricultural operations may have resulted in the accumulation of N in
many wetland soils. Large amounts of N accumulating in wetlands may decrease mineralization of toxic agricultural pesticides.

Temporal depositional rates are important in order to understand the production and occurrence of perchlorate (ClO4−) as limited information exists regarding the impact of anthropogenic production or atmospheric pollution on ClO4− deposition. Perchlorate concentrations in discrete ice core samples from the Eclipse Icefield (Yukon Territory, Canada) and
Upper Fremont Glacier (Wyoming, USA) were analyzed using ion chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to evaluate temporal
changes in the deposition of ClO4
− in North America. The ice core samples cover a time period from 1726 to 1993 and 1970 to 2002 for the Upper Fremont Glacier
(UFG) and Eclipse ice cores, respectively. The average ClO4
− concentration in the Eclipse ice core for the time period from 1970 to 1973 was 0.6 ± 0.3 ng L−1, with higher values of 2.3 ± 1.7 and 2.2 ± 2.0 ng L−1 for the periods 1982–1986 and 1999–2002, respectively. All pre-1980 ice core samples from the UFG had ClO4
− concentrations <0.2 ng L−1, and the post-1980 samples ranged from <0.2 ng L−1 to a maximum of 2.6 ng L−1 for the year 1992. A significant positive correlation (R = 0.75, N = 15, p < 0.001) of ClO4− with SO42− was found for the annual UFG ice core layers and of ClO4
− with SO42− and NO3− in sub-annual Eclipse ice samples (R > 0.3, N = 121, p < 0.002). The estimated yearly ClO4− depositional flux for the Eclipse ice core ranged from 0.6 (1970) to 4.7 μg m−2 year−1 (1982) and the UFG from <0.1 (pre-1980) to 1.4 μg m−2 year−1 (1992). There was no consistent seasonal variation in the ClO4− depositional flux for the Eclipse ice core, in contrast to a previous study on the Arctic region. The presence of ClO4− in these ice cores might correspond to an intermittent source such as volcanic eruptions and/or any anthropogenic forcing
that may directly or indirectly aid in atmospheric ClO4− formation. 相似文献

A survey of N2 fixation in farmers’ fields of Northern (>1,000 mm rainfall), Central (800–1,000 mm rainfall), and Southern (<800 mm rainfall)
Zambia revealed some significant differences in plant growth and symbiotic performance of different food grain legumes. Of
the three grain legumes (i.e., Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.), and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)) grown in Southern Zambia, cowpea showed greater shoot biomass and significantly lower shoot δ15N values than groundnut and Bambara groundnut. The lower shoot δ15N resulted in greater %Ndfa (59%) in shoots and higher amounts of N-fixed, whether per square meters (6,394.0 mg N), per plant
(650.8 mg N), or per hectare (63.9 kg N) relative to groundnut and Bambara groundnut, even though the number of cowpea plants
per square meter was significantly lower than that of groundnut or Bambara groundnut. Although the shoot δ15N values of cowpea, Bambara groundnut and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were significantly lower than those of groundnut in Central Zambia and their %Ndfa values, therefore, greater, the higher
number of groundnut plants per square meter resulted in significantly greater shoot N content, as well as N-fixed per square
meter and per hectare relative to the other species. Despite having similar plant density as cowpea in Central Zambia, common
bean could fix only 6.0 kg N ha−1 compared with 35.4 kg N ha−1 by cowpea. In Northern Zambia, Bambara groundnut showed the lowest mean shoot δ15N value (0.54 ± 0.3‰), followed by groundnut (1.59 ± 1.0‰), and then common bean (the three grain legumes grown in that region).
As a result, %Ndfa and N-fixed were significantly greater in groundnut (69.7% and 566.0 mg N per plant) and Bambara groundnut
(62.9% and 440.1 mg N per plant) than in common bean (2.6% and 2.4 mg N per plant). In Northern Zambia, groundnut, Bambara
groundnut and common bean fixed 78.7, 67.6, and 0.9 kg N ha−1, respectively, even though the plant density per square meter of common bean (which fixed the lowest amount of N per hectare)
was twice that of groundnut and Bambara groundnut. A species × site analysis showed that cowpea fixed relatively greater amounts
of N per plant, per square meter, and per hectare in Southern than Central Zambia. Bambara groundnut and common bean also
had significantly lower δ15N values and higher %Ndfa in Central than Northern Zambia. 相似文献

In a 2-year field study, denitrification loss was measured from an irrigated sandy-clay loam under cotton receiving urea-N
at 158–173 kg ha–1. An acetylene inhibition-soil core method was employed for the direct measurement of denitrification, considering also the
N2O entrapped in the soil. Taking into account the N2O evolved from soil cores and that entrapped in the soil, a total of 65.7 kg N ha–1 and 64.4 kg N ha–1 was lost due to denitrification during the 1995 and 1996 cotton-growing seasons, respectively. Most (>70%) of the denitrification
loss occurred during June–August, a period characterized by high soil temperatures and heavy monsoon rains. On average, 35%
of the denitrification-N2O was found entrapped in the soil and the amount of entrapped N2O was significantly correlated with head space N2O concentration and with water-filled pore space. 15N-balance during the 1996 growing season revealed a loss of 71.8 kg N ha–1. It was concluded that a substantial proportion of the fertilizer-N applied to irrigated cotton is lost under the semiarid
subtropical climatic conditions prevailing in the Central Punjab region of Pakistan and that denitrification is the major
N loss process under irrigated cotton in this region.

The aim of this work was to quantify the soil organic C (SOC) stock in the top 30 cm of mineral soil for the whole Italian
territory, according to the different land use types of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) cropland category
(arable land, agroforestry, vineyards, olive groves, orchards and rice fields), as a basis for future land use scenarios and
to address mitigation policy at country level. A database for SOC stock was created with the data from the national project
denominated SIAS and partly from regional map reports. All data were referred to the year 2000 since they were derived from
surveys conducted from 1995 to 2005. The data were stratified according to the Italian climatic regions, the landscape position
and the IPCC cropland subcategories. Taking into account the uncertainty in the estimate, the mean SOC stock values of the
different subcategories show significant differences (p < 0.05) among climatic regions and landscapes, ranging from 41.9 ± 15.9 Mg C ha−1 in the vineyards to 63.3 ± 27.9 Mg C ha−1 in the rice fields. Generally, a small decrease of the SOC stock from the temperate regions toward the Mediterranean ones
is observed. Taking into account the mean value of each subcategory and the country area they occupied in 2000, the total
C stored in the upper 30 cm of soil was estimated at 490.0 ± 121.7 Tg C. The resulting estimate represents the 17% of the
value reported by another study for the soil of the whole country down to 50 cm depth, suggesting the importance of preserving
this large C pool. Considering the cropland category as a whole, the estimated mean SOC stock is 52.1 ± 17.4 Mg C ha−1, similar to that reported for other European countries, 50–60 Mg C ha−1. In conclusion, the assessment of the mean SOC stock of the different cropland land uses, landscape position and climate
regions could notably help when assessing the impact of different agricultural practices and future stock change evaluation. 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

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
