The nitrous oxide and molecular N emissions from 5-cm length subsamples taken from 20-cm length sample corers containing eutric Cambisol soil fertilised either with urea, ammonium or nitrate for 1 year have been examined using gas chromatography. At the beginning of the incubation, the same N rate (260 kg N/ha) was added to the soil and kept constant during the experiment. The total abundance of the soil Bacteria and Archaea and that of nitrifiers and denitrifiers was estimated by quantitative PCR of the corresponding biotic variables 16S rRNA, amoA and napA, narG, nirK, nirS, norB, nosZI and nosZII genes. The abiotic variables dissolved oxygen, pH, exchangeable NH 4+-N and NO 3?-N contents and total C and total N were also analysed. None of the three fertilisers affected the total abundance of Bacteria and Archaea and nitrification was the main driver of nitrous oxide production in the 0- to 5-cm and 5- to 10-cm soil layers while denitrification was in the 10- to 15-cm and 15- to 20-cm soil horizons. Parallel to the reduction in the content of dissolved oxygen along the soil profile, there was a decrease in the total and relative abundance of the bacterial and archaeal amoA gene and an increase in the abundances of the denitrification genes, mainly in the 10- to 15-cm and 15- to 20-cm soil layers. A non-metric multidimensional scaling plot comparing the biotic and abiotic variables examined in each of the four 5-cm soil subsamples and the whole 20-cm sample showed a disparate effect of N fertilisation on N gas emissions and abundance of nitrifiers and denitrifiers bacterial and archaeal communities. 相似文献

Arctic soils emit nitrous oxide, which is a potent greenhouse gas and also represents an important loss of nitrogen to oligotrophic Arctic ecosystems. However, little is known about the temperature sensitivity of nitrous oxide release in Arctic soils or the organisms mainly responsible for it. We investigated controls on nitrous oxide emissions in an Arctic soil across a typical temperature range (between 4 and 13 °C) on Truelove Lowland, Devon Island, Canada (75°40′N 84°35′W) at two different moisture contents. When fertilized with ammonia or nitrate, nitrous oxide emissions and temperature dependence of nitrous oxide emissions were insensitive to soil moisture content but linked to nitrification rates. Stable isotope analysis revealed that nitrous oxide was predominantly released by nitrifiers. However, nitrous oxide emissions were not linked to nitrifier prevalence with an insignificant ( P < 0.219) increase in amoA genes and a ( P < 0.01) decrease in archaeal nitrifiers. In contrast, denitrifier nosZ prevalence was 10,000 times greater than that of nitrifiers and was related to nitrous oxide emission potential when soils were fertilized with nitrate. Manipulating water-filled pore space should have changed the pattern of N 2O emissions. We used selective inhibitors to further explore why denitrification did not occur under field conditions when we manipulated water-filled pore space or when we used 15N analysis. When fungi were inhibited in the soil, nitrous oxide emissions from denitrifiers increased with no change in nitrous oxide released by nitrifiers. When fungi were active in the soil, there was little available nitrate but when fungi were inhibited, available soil nitrate increased over the incubation period. The dominance of nitrifiers in nitrous oxide emissions from Arctic soils under field conditions is linked to the competition for nitrate between fungi and denitrifiers. 相似文献

A trial was conducted in 2004 and 2005 to evaluate the effect of a stand‐off winter stock management system on nitrous oxide (N 2O) emissions from a dairy farm in New Zealand. The management system consisted of removing cows from pasture after grazing for 6 h per day and keeping them on a stand‐off pad for the rest of the day during the late autumn/winter seasons in order to reduce soil physical damage because of grazing on wet soils. The N 2O emissions were measured on pasture that was grazed either for all day or for 6 h. The N 2O emissions from the stand‐off pad were also measured. A closed chamber technique was used for measuring N 2O fluxes. The New Zealand International Panel for Climate Change inventory methodology was used to calculate annual N 2O emissions from land application of farm effluent, leached and volatilized N. Significantly lower ( P < 0.05) N 2O emission rates were found when the stand‐off grazed pasture was compared to the control in the winter seasons when soil was wet. Total N 2O emission rates measured over one grazing interval in the late autumn/winter (May–August) in 2004 were 2.72 and 1.21 kg N 2O‐N/ha for the control and the stand‐off grazed pastures, respectively. The respective emissions in 2005 were 0.97 and 0.22 kg N 2O‐N/ha. When all possible sources contributing to emissions of N 2O (both measured and calculated from the non‐measured sources) were included, total annual emissions of 7.7 and 7.0 kg N 2O‐N per hectare of grazed pasture in the control and stand‐off treatments, respectively, were estimated. These results suggest that the use of stand‐off pads as a management practice during the wet seasons can be effective at reducing N 2O emissions from dairy farm systems. 相似文献

PurposeThe aim of this research was to quantify the effect of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) on soil nitrification rate, functional gene abundance of soil ammonia oxidisers, and the concomitant effect on nitrous oxide emissions from urine patches in a shallow, free-draining soil in Canterbury during late autumn/winter season. Materials and methodsUrine was collected from dairy cows grazing either ryegrass/white clover (RGWC), 30% plantain (P30) mixed in with RGWC or 100% plantain (P100) pasture, and applied at two rates (700 or 450 kg N ha?1) to intact soil blocks growing either RGWC, P30 or P100 pasture. Results and discussionResults showed that increased plantain content reduced N-concentration in urine from 7.2 in RGWC urine to 4.5 and 3.7 g N L?1 in P30 and P100 urine, respectively. Total N2O emissions and emission factors (EF3) from urine-treated pastures were low, <?2 kg N ha?1 and <?0.22%, respectively. Urine application at the lower urine N-loading rate of 450 kg N ha?1 (i.e. representative of that in a P30 urine patch) resulted in 30% lower N2O emissions (P?<?0.01) and 35% lower soil nitrate concentrations (P?<?0.001) compared to those at the higher urine loading rate of 700 kg N ha?1 (i.e. representative of that in a RGWC urine patch). Increasing plantain content in the pasture sward from 0 to 30% and 100% with urine N applied at the same loading rate did not reduce N2O emissions or nitrification compared to the standard ryegrass-white clover pasture. Cow urine derived from the different pasture diets had no effect on N2O emissions, N transformation or ammonia-oxidiser abundance in soil compared to the RGWC urine applied at the same rate. ConclusionsThe main effect of plantain in this study appears to be related to the reduction in urine N-loading rate, rather than factors related to urine properties or plantain-soil interactions. 相似文献

Abstract. Agricultural soils are important sources of the tropospheric ozone precursor NO and the greenhouse gas N 2O. Emissions are controlled primarily by parameters that vary the soil mineral N supply, temperature and soil aeration. In this field experiment, the importance of soil physical properties on emissions of NO and N 2O are identified. Fluxes were measured from 13 soils which belonged to 11 different soil series, ranging from poorly drained silty clay loams to freely drained sandy loams. All soils were under the same soil management regime and crop type (winter barley) and in the same maritime climate zone. Despite this, emissions of NO and N 2O ranged over two orders of magnitude on all three measurement occasions, in spring before and after fertilizer application, and in autumn after harvest. NO emissions ranged from 0.3 to 215 μg NO-N m –2 h –1, with maximum emissions always from the most sandy, freely drained soil. Nitrous oxide emissions ranged from 0 to 193 μg N 2O-N m –2 h –1. Seasonal shifts in soil aeration caused maximum N 2O emissions to switch from freely drained sandy soils in spring to imperfectly drained soils with high clay contents in autumn. Although effects of soil type on emissions were not consistent, N 2O emission was best related to a combination of bulk density and clay content and the NO/N 2O ratio decreased logarithmically with increasing water filled pore space. 相似文献

Nitrous oxide (N 2O) emissions comprise the major share of agriculture's contribution to greenhouse gases; however, our understanding of what is actually happening in the field remains incomplete, especially concerning the multiple interactions between agricultural practices and N 2O emissions. Soil compaction induces major changes in the soil structure and the key variables controlling N 2O emissions. Our objective was to analyse the ability of a process‐based model (Nitrous Oxide Emissions (NOE)) to simulate the impact of soil compaction on N 2O emission kinetics obtained from field experiments. We used automatic chambers to continuously monitor N 2O and CO 2 emissions on uncompacted and compacted areas in sugar beet fields during 2 years. Soil compaction led to smaller CO 2 emissions and larger N 2O emissions by inducing anoxic conditions favourable for denitrification. Cumulative N 2O emissions during the crop cycles were 944 and 977 g N ha −1 in uncompacted plots and 1448 and 1382 g N ha −1 in compacted plots in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The NOE model ( Hénault et al., 2005 ) simulated 106 and 138 g N 2O‐N ha −1 in uncompacted plots and 1550 and 650 g N 2O‐N ha −1 in compacted plots in 2007 and 2008, respectively, markedly under‐estimating the nitrification rates and associated N 2O emissions. We modified the model on the basis of published results in order to better simulate nitrification and account for varying N 2O fractions of total end‐products in response to varying soil water and nitrate contents. The modified model (NOE2) better predicted nitrification rates and N 2O emissions following fertilizer addition. Using a fine vertical separation of soil layers of configurable, but constant, thickness (1 cm) also improved the simulations. NOE2 predicted 428 and 416 g N‐N 2O ha −1 in uncompacted plots and 1559 and 1032 g N‐ N 2O ha −1 in compacted plots in 2007 and 2008, respectively. These results show that a simple process‐based model can be used to predict successfully the post‐fertilizer addition kinetics of N 2O emissions and the impact of soil compaction on these emissions. However, large emissions later on during the cropping cycle were not captured by the model, emphasizing the need for further research. 相似文献

Urine patches in dairy pastures are major sources of nitrous oxide (N 2O). Wet winters result in compaction damage to pastures because of animal trampling. The nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD), is effective at reducing N 2O emissions from urine patches. Here, we assessed the extent of damage to the physical quality of the soil by trampling and whether this influenced the ability of DCD to mitigate N 2O emissions. A field experiment was conducted where a sandy loam soil was trampled by a mechanical hoof just before urine and DCD application. Trampling reduced air permeability and pore continuity, but this had no effect on bulk density. Urine appeared to have contributed to pore collapse and blockage. Trampling increased average cumulative N 2O emissions from 1.74 to 4.66% of urine‐N applied. This effect was attributed to increased water‐filled pore space, aggregate destruction and suppression of grass growth. DCD was highly effective in reducing N 2O emissions, with the N 2O emission factor of the urine‐N being decreased by 58–63%. Trampling did not significantly affect the effectiveness of DCD in reducing N 2O emissions. 相似文献

AbstractMicrobial nitrification and denitrification are responsible for the majority of soil nitrous (N 2O) emissions. In this study, N 2O emissions were measured and the abundance of ammonium oxidizers and denitrifiers were quantified in purple soil in a long-term fertilization experiment to explore their relationships. The average N 2O fluxes and abundance of the amoAgene in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria during the observed dry season were highest when treated with mixed nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer (NPK) and a single N treatment (N) using NH 4HCO 3as the sole N source; lower values were obtained using organic manure with pig slurry and added NPK at a ratio of 40%:60% (OMNPK),organic manure with pig slurry (OM) and returning crop straw residue plus synthetic NH 4HCO 3fertilizer at a ratio of 15%:85% (SRNPK). The lowest N 2O fluxes were observed in the treatment that used crop straw residue(SR) and in the control with no fertilizer (CK). Soil NH 4+provides the substrate for nitrification generating N 2O as a byproduct. The N 2O flux was significantly correlated with the abundance of the amoA gene in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (r = 0.984, p < 0.001), which was the main driver of nitrification. During the wet season, soil nitrate (NO 3?) and soil organic matter (SOC) were found positively correlated with N 2O emissions (r = 0.774, p = 0.041 and r = 0.827, p = 0.015, respectively). The nirS gene showed a similar trend with N 2O fluxes. These results show the relationship between the abundance of soil microbes and N 2O emissions and suggest that N 2O emissions during the dry season were due to nitrification, whereas in wet season, denitrification might dominate N 2O emission. 相似文献

Abstract It is well known that some fungal species are remarkably tolerant of high copper concentration, although copper is toxic to most fungi (Garraway and Evans 1984). Bedford (1936) and Jurkowska (1952) reported that Penicillium and Aspergillus species can grow in liquid media saturated or nearly saturated with copper sulfate. Okamoto and Fuwa (1974) isolated Penicillium ochro-chloron from the laboratory air, and found that the fungus was able to grow in a medium saturated with copper sulfate. 相似文献

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined or individual effects of biochar and nitrapyrin (a nitrification inhibitor) on N 2O and NO emissions from a sandy loam soil cropped to maize. The study included nine treatments: addition of urea alone or combined with nitrapyrin to soils that had been amended with biochar at 0, 3, 6, and 12 t ha ?1 in the preceding year, and a control without the addition of N fertilizer. Peaks in N 2O and NO flux occurred simultaneously following fertilizer application and intense rainfall events, and the peak of NO flux was much higher than that of N 2O following application of basal fertilizer. Mean emission ratios of NO/N 2O ranged from 1.11 to 1.72, suggesting that N 2O was primarily derived from nitrification. Cumulative N 2O and NO emissions were 1.00 kg N 2O-N ha ?1 and 1.39 kg NO-N ha ?1 in the N treatment, respectively, decreasing to 0.81–0.85 kg N 2O-N ha ?1 and 1.31–1.35 kg NO-N ha ?1 in the biochar amended soils, respectively, while there was no significant difference among the treatments. NO emissions were significantly lower in the nitrapyrin treatments than in the N fertilization-alone treatments ( P?<?0.05), but there was no effect on N 2O emissions. Neither biochar nor nitrapyrin amendment affected maize yield or N uptake. Overall, our results showed that biochar amendment in the preceding year had little effect on N 2O and NO emissions in the following year, while the nitrapyrin decreased NO, but not N 2O emissions, probably due to suppression of denitrification caused by the low soil moisture content. 相似文献

In temperate regions, a majority of N 2O is emitted during spring soil thawing. We examined the influence of two winter field covers, snow and winter rye, on soil temperature and subsequent spring N 2O emissions from a New York corn field over two years. The first season (2006-07) was a cold winter (2309 h below 0 °C at 8 cm soil depth), historically typical for the region. The snow removal treatment resulted in colder soils and higher N 2O fluxes (73.3 vs. 57.9 ng N 2O-N cm −2 h −1). The rye cover had no effect on N 2O emissions. The second season (2007-08) was a much milder winter (1271 h below freezing at 8 cm soil depth), with lower N 2O fluxes overall. The winter rye cover resulted in lower N 2O fluxes (5.9 vs. 33.7 ng N 2O-N cm −2 h −1), but snow removal had no effect. Climate scenarios predict warmer temperature and less snow cover in the region. Under these conditions, spring N 2O emissions can be expected to decrease and could be further reduced by winter rye crops. 相似文献

Winter forage grazing systems in New Zealand cause compaction of soil by grazing animals, especially when the soil is wet. However, there is little information on the effects of animal trampling on denitrifiers in soil, despite their importance for N 2O production. Here, we report a field study of the abundance of the denitrifying genes nirS, nirK, and nosZ and N 2O emissions following the application of dairy cow urine in a free‐draining stony soil. Importantly, we found that simulated animal trampling altered some of the denitrifying microbial communities, thus leading to increased N 2O emissions. Over the 111 day measurement period, the abundance of nitrite (NO 2?)‐reducing nirS gene copy numbers increased significantly by 87% in the trampled soil with urine ( P < 0.01) and increased by 40% in the trampled soil without urine ( P < 0.05), but the nirS gene abundance did not change significantly in the nontrampled soil. The abundance of NO 2? reducing nirK gene copy numbers was not affected by trampling, but increased significantly following urine application. The abundance of N 2O‐reducing nosZ clade I and nosZ clade II gene copy numbers increased significantly in the trampled soil, but did not change significantly in the nontrampled soil. N 2O emissions from the trampled soil were about twice that from the nontrampled soil without urine (1.20 and 0.62 kg N 2O‐N per ha, respectively) and about eight times greater (6.24 kg N 2O‐N per ha) than from nontrampled soil (0.80 kg N 2O‐N per ha) when urine was applied. These results strongly suggest that animal trampling during winter forage grazing can have a major impact on denitrifying communities in soil, which in turn stimulate greater denitrification with increased N 2O emissions. 相似文献

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N 2O) from animal excreta in grazed pasture systems makes up a significant component (c. 10%) of New Zealand's total greenhouse gas inventory. We report an effective method to decrease N 2O emissions from animal urine patches by treating the soil with the nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD), in a simulated grazed dairy pasture system under spray irrigation. The soil was a free-draining Lismore stony silt loam (Udic Haplustept loamy skeletal) and the pasture was a mixture of perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne ) and white clover ( Trifolium repens ). By treating the soil with DCD, N 2O emissions were decreased by 76% following urine application in the autumn, from 26.7 kg N 2O-N ha −1 without DCD to an average of 6.4 kg N 2O-N ha −1 with DCD over the 6-month experimental period. N 2O flux was decreased by 78% following urine application in the spring, from 18 kg N 2O-N ha −1 without DCD to 3.9 kg N 2O-N ha −1 with the application of DCD over the 3-month period. A single application of DCD immediately after urine was sufficient to effectively mitigate N 2O emissions from the urine. The results showed that repeated applications of DCD after urine application, or mixing DCD with urine, offered no advantage over a single application of DCD immediately after urine deposition. 相似文献

Nitrogen (N) losses via nitrate (NO 3−) leaching, ammonia (NH 3) volatilization and nitrous oxide (N 2O) emissions from grazed pastures in New Zealand are one of the major contributors to environmental degradation. The use of N inhibitors (urease and nitrification inhibitors) may have a role in mitigating these N losses. A one-year field experiment was conducted on a permanent dairy-grazed pasture site at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand to quantify these N losses and to assess the effect of N inhibitors in reducing such losses during May 2005-2006. Cow urine at 600 kg N ha −1 rate with or without urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (nBTPT) or (trade name “Agrotain”) (3 L ha −1), nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) (7 kg ha −1) and the use of double inhibitor (DI) containing a combination of both Agrotain and DCD (3:7) were applied to field plots in autumn, spring and summer. Pasture production, NH 3 and N 2O fluxes, soil mineral N concentrations, microbial biomass C and N, and soil pH were measured following the application of treatments during each season. All measured parameters, except soil microbial biomass C and N, were influenced by the added inhibitors during the three seasons. Agrotain reduced NH 3 emissions over urine alone by 29%, 93% and 31% in autumn, spring and summer respectively but had little effect on N 2O emission. DCD reduced N 2O emission over urine alone by 52%, 39% and 16% in autumn, spring and summer respectively but increased NH 3 emission by 56%, 9% and 17% over urine alone during those three seasons. The double inhibitor reduced NH 3 by 14%, 78% and 9% and N 2O emissions by 37%, 67% and 28% over urine alone in autumn, spring and summer respectively. The double inhibitor also increased pasture dry matter by 10%, 11% and 8% and N uptake by the 17%, 28% and 10% over urine alone during autumn, spring and summer respectively. Changes in soil mineral N and pH suggested a delay in urine-N hydrolysis with Agrotain, and reduced nitrification with DCD. The combination of Agrotain and DCD was more effective in reducing both NH 3 and N 2O emissions, improving pasture production, controlling urea hydrolysis and retaining N in NH 4+ form. These results suggest that the combination of both urease and nitrification inhibitors may have the most potential to reduce N losses if losses are associated with urine and improve pasture production in intensively grazed systems. 相似文献

Abstract. Intensively managed grasslands are potentially a large source of N 2O in the North Coast of Spain because of the large N input, the wet soil conditions and mild temperatures. To quantify the effect of fertilizer type and management practices carried out by farmers in this area, field N 2O losses were measured over a year using the closed chamber technique. Plots received two types of fertilizer: cattle slurry (536 kg N ha –1) and calcium ammonium nitrate (140 kg N ha –1). N 2O losses were less in the slurry treatment than after mineral fertilizer. This was probably due to high, short‐lived peaks of N 2O encountered immediately following mineral N addition. In contrast, the seasonal distribution of N 2O losses from the slurry amended plot was more uniform over the year. The greater N 2O losses in the mineral treatment might have been enhanced by the combined effect of mineral fertilizer and past organic residues present from previous organic amendments. Weak relationships were found between N 2O emission rates and soil nitrate, soil ammonium, soil water content and temperature. Better relationships were obtained in the mineral treatment than in the slurry plots, because of the wider range in soil mineral N. Water filled pore space (WFPS) was a key factor controlling N 2O emissions. In the > 90% WFPS range no relationships were found. The best regressions were found for the mineral treatment in the 40–65% WFPS range, 49% of the variance being explained by soil nitrate and ammonium content. In the 65–90% WFPS range, 43% of the variance was explained by nitrate only, but the inclusion of soil ammonium did not improve the model as it did in the 40–65% WFPS range. This fact indicates that nitrification is likely to be an important process involved in N 2O emissions at the 40–65% WFPS. 相似文献
