Interaction effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer on nitrogen mineralization of wheat residues in a calcareous soil

Abstract

Because of the high pH of the soil in semiarid regions, phosphorus adsorption is unfavorable. So, considerable amounts of phosphorus fertilizers are used annually, where this fertilizer may affect the plant residues' decomposition. To examine the interaction effects of nitrogen and phosphorus on nitrogen mineralization in calcareous soil, a factorial experiment was performed in a completely randomized design with three replications. The first factor consisted of various C:N ratios (20, 40, and 60 or three levels of nitrogen N₁:0, N₂:11, and N₃:43?kg N ha^?1, respectively) and the second factor consisted of various C:P ratios (87, 174, and 260 or three levels of phosphorus P₁:0, P₂:12, and P₃:45?kg P ha^?1, respectively), under incubation conditions. The results indicated that the cumulative mineral nitrogen content in all treatments, except for N1P2 and N1P3 treatments, started from a positive amount and remained positive until the end of the incubation period. The highest amount of cumulative mineral nitrogen among treatments was related to N3P1 treatment, while the lowest was associated with N2P3 treatment. Mineralization of nitrogen during 60?d of incubation was the dominant phenomenon, except for the N1P2 and N1P3 treatments which remained in the organic phase. The effect of phosphorus on the cumulative mineralization of nitrogen was significant. With increasing the amount of phosphorus, the total inorganic nitrogen diminished. Nitrogen release begins earlier with lower C:N ratios, and therefore the available nitrogen can be released more quickly to the plant. It is generally concluded that, in calcareous soil, the use of nitrogen fertilizer to adjust C:N ratio and to improve the mineralization of wheat residues will be a suitable option.     

氮肥、土壤湿度和温度对稻田土壤甲烷氧化的影响

Effects of nitrogen fertilizer,soil mosture and temperature and temperature on methane oxidation in paddy soil were investigated under laboratory conditions.Addition of 0.05 g N kg^-1 soil as NH4Cl strongly inhibited methane oxidation and addition of the same rate of KCl also inhibited the oxidation but with more slight effect,suggesting that the inhibitory effect was partly caused by increase in osmotic potential in microorganism cell,Not only NH4^ but also NO3^- greatly affected methane oxidation.Urea did not affect methane oxidation in paddy soil in the first two days of incubation,but strong inhibitory effect was observed afterwards.Methane was oxidized in the treated soil with an optimum moisture of 280 g kg^-1 ,and air-drying inhibited methane oxidation entirely.The optimum temperature of methane oxidation was about 30℃ in paddy soil.while no methane oxidation was observed at 5℃or 50℃。     

长期有机培肥模式下黑土碳与氮变化及氮素矿化特征

土壤氮的矿化是土壤氮素肥力的重要指标,是影响作物产量至关重要的因素。本研究依托黑土长期定位试验,通过取样分析研究了32 a不同培肥模式下黑土碳、 氮及主要活性组分的变化,采用淹水培养法研究了不同施肥模式下黑土氮素的矿化特征。结果表明,施肥显著提高黑土可溶性碳（DOC）、 氮（DON）的含量及其比例。在氮、 磷、 钾化肥的基础上配施有机肥,显著降低了土壤微生物量氮（SMBN）占土壤总氮的比例,提高了土壤微生物量的C/N比值（SMBC/SMBN）,促进了土壤氮的生物固持。施肥32 a后,单施常量和高量有机肥处理的土壤氮的矿化量（Nt）显著提高,分别相当于不施肥的8.2倍和10.2倍,而单施氮或氮磷钾化肥对黑土氮素矿化量无明显影响。施用有机肥显著提高了土壤氮素的矿化率（Nt/TN）,但有机肥配施化肥（氮或氮磷钾）的处理与单施有机肥相比,黑土氮的矿化率显著降低,降低幅度分别为23.5%~32.1% 和14.1%~17.8%。土壤氮素矿化量与土壤有机质、 全氮储量、 活性碳、 氮组分均呈极显著线性相关,但氮素的矿化率随着有机质和全氮含量的提高而提高至0.4% 后基本稳定。表明尽管土壤氮的矿化与有机质的含量直接相关,但土壤有机质的品质同样决定着土壤氮素的矿化能力。施有机氮是提高土壤供氮能力的重要途径。     

我国主要植烟土壤氮素矿化潜力研究

为研究我国植烟土壤潜在供氮能力及其分布状况,从18个烤烟主产省的317个县采集了500多个土壤样品,采用Stanford的间歇淋洗好气培养法,测定了土壤氮素矿化势和矿化速率常数。结果表明,植烟土壤氮素矿化速率常数（k）平均为0.017/d,土壤氮素矿化势（No）平均为130.6 mg/kg,变幅为5.5～372.0 mg/kg,0—30 cm土壤累积潜在供氮量达到了470.2 kg/hm2。不同植烟区土壤矿化势差异显著,黄淮烟区、北部西部烟区、东北烟区、南部烟区、长江中上游烟区、长江中下游烟区、西南烟区土壤矿化势的分别为:64.1、78.8、99.0、119.9、127.8、135.0 和160.5 mg/kg。其中南方烟区（南部烟区、长江中上游烟区、长江中下游烟区、西南烟区）的矿化势显著高于北方烟区（北部西部烟区和东北烟区）和黄淮烟区。不同类型土壤矿化势存在显著差异,即使是同一类型土壤,其矿化势变异仍很大。因此应从宏观上把握全国植烟土壤的供氮潜力,对于土壤供氮潜力过高的区域,在植烟土壤区划中应考虑进行调整,而对较高的区域,可以考虑采用农艺措施进行调控,减少烟株生育后期氮素供应;而对于土壤供氮适量的区域,应作为优先发展烤烟生产的区域。

长期不同施肥对水稻土有机氮素矿化特性影响的研究

通过定位试验研究了长期不同施肥措施对水稻土氮素矿化特性的影响。结果表明,长期不同施肥措施显著影响水稻土氮矿化势及矿化速率。与不施氮肥相比,单施氮肥使水稻土氮矿化势下降,矿化速率加快;氮肥与有机肥配施可极显著增加水稻土氮矿化势,降低矿化速率。在氮肥与有机肥配施的基础上,水稻插秧后接种“Azolla”固氮菌体可降低氮矿化势,提高矿化速率。     

Influence of soil moisture on sulphur oxidation in brown earth soils exposed to atmospheric pollution

Summary Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the influence of soil moisture on S oxidation in atmospheric-polluted brown earth soils. Elemental S was oxidized to sulphate over a wide range of soil moisture treatments (10%–60% w/w), but occurred optimally at around 40%–50% soil moisture content (0.08 MPa). Thiosulphate and tetrathionate were found only in soils incubated at low moisture contents. S-oxidation generally acidified the soils, but an increase in soil pH occurred at high moisture levels, where soils were waterlogged. The S oxidative ability of soil samples collected at monthly intervals and incubated with elemental S in the field-moist state was also strongly influenced by soil moisture content. The rate of sulphate production was greatest in the brown earth soil exposed to heavy atmospheric pollution from a coking works.     

长期调控施肥对京郊保护地土壤无机氮含量及矿化特征的影响

通过研究5年连续调控施肥保护地的土壤无机氮含量状况,结合田间原位培养的方法研究其表层土壤矿化特征,以了解不同调控施肥的土壤供氮能力,为京郊保护地氮素调控提供理论与现实依据。结果表明,不施肥和单施有机肥处理在作物生育期内,土壤表层无机氮处于耗竭状态;其它处理无机氮含量呈逐渐增长趋势,接近收获时又有所下降,表现为习惯施氮处理>1.5倍推荐施氮处理>推荐施氮处理>0.5倍推荐施氮处理,且各处理间差异显著。各处理矿化速率的差异在追肥后开始显现明显效果;至收获时,单施有机肥、推荐施氮和1.5倍推荐施氮处理累积矿化量分别达81.5、86.3和97.7 kg/hm2,已接近推荐施氮量(100 kg/hm2),习惯施氮处理达164.7 kg/hm2,较其它处理显著提高82%～438%。可见,5年调控施肥对降低土壤无机氮含量有积极作用,但土壤矿化量仍然非常高,可见,忽略土壤氮矿化量,将影响氮肥用量推荐和作物氮素平衡。     

Influence of increasing temperature and nitrogen input on greenhouse gas emissions from a desert steppe soil in Inner Mongolia

We investigated the effect of increasing soil temperature and nitrogen on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O)] from a desert steppe soil in Inner Mongolia, China. Two temperature levels (heating versus no heating) and two nitrogen (N) fertilizer application levels (0 and 100?kg?N?ha^?1?year^?1) were examined in a complete randomized design with six replications. The GHG surface fluxes and their concentrations in soil (0 to 50?cm) were collected bi-weekly from June 2006 to November 2007. Carbon dioxide and N₂O emissions were not affected by heating or N treatment, but compared with other seasons, CO₂ was higher in summer [average of 29.6 versus 8.6?mg carbon (C) m^?2?h^?1 over all other seasons] and N₂O was lower in winter (average of 2.6 versus 4.0?mg?N?m^?2?h^?1 over all other seasons). Desert steppe soil is a CH₄ sink with the highest rate of consumption occurring in summer. Heating decreased CH₄ consumption only in the summer. Increasing surface soil temperature by 1.3°C or applying 100?kg?ha^?1?year^?1 N fertilizer had no effect on the overall GHG emissions. Seasonal variability in GHG emission reflected changes in temperature and soil moisture content. At an average CH₄ consumption rate of 31.65?µg?C?m^?2?h^?1, the 30.73 million ha of desert steppe soil in Inner Mongolia can consume (sequestrate) about 85?×?10^6?kg CH₄-C, an offset equivalent to 711?×?10^6?kg CO₂-C emissions annually. Thus, desert steppe soil should be considered an important CH₄ sink and its potential in reducing GHG emission and mitigating climate change warrants further investigation.     

Seasonally dependent impacts of grazing on soil nitrogen mineralization and linkages to ecosystem functioning in Inner Mongolia grassland

Previous studies have suggested grazing may alter nitrogen (N) cycling of grasslands by accelerating or decelerating soil net N mineralization. The important mechanisms controlling these fluxes remain controversial, and more importantly, the consequences on carbon storage and site productivity remain uncertain. Here we present results on the seasonal patterns of soil inorganic N pools and net N mineralization and their linkages to ecosystem functioning from a grazing experiment in the Inner Mongolia grassland, which has been maintained for five years with 7 levels of grazing intensity (0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0 sheep ha⁻¹). Net N mineralization and nitrification rates were determined using an in situ soil core incubation method. Our findings demonstrated that, in the non-growing season, the net N mineralization rate was reduced by 181% in the lightly and moderately grazed plots (1.5-4.5 sheep ha⁻¹) and by 147% in the heavily grazed plots (6.0-9.0 sheep ha⁻¹), and the net N immobilization was observed in all grazed treatments. In the early growing season, however, it was increased by 107% in the lightly and moderately grazed plots and by 128% in the heavily grazed plots. In the peak growing season, grazing diminished the net mineralization rate by 71% in the lightly and moderately grazed plots and 108% in the heavily grazed plots. The seasonally dependent effects of grazing on soil inorganic N pools and net N mineralization were strongly mediated by grazing-induced changes in soil temperature and moisture, with soil moisture being predominant in the peak growing season. Grazing alterations of soil inorganic N and net N mineralization were closely linked to the changes in aboveground primary productivity, biomass N allocation, N use efficiency, and soil total nitrogen. Based upon the five year study, we conclude that grazing at moderate to high intensities is unsustainable in terms of productivity and soil N cycling and storage in these systems.     

长期施肥对华北平原一种潮土有机氮组成的影响

In order to illustrate the change of nitrogen （N） supply capacity after long-term application of manure and chemical fertilizer, as well as to properly manage soil fertility through fertilizer application under the soil-climatic conditions of the North China Plain, organic N forms were quantified in the topsoil with different manure and chemical fertilizer treatments in a 15-year fertilizer experiment in a Chinese calcareous alluvial soil. Soil total N （TN） and various organic N forms were significantly influenced by long-term application of chemical fertilizer and manure. TN, total hydrolysable N, acid-lnsoluble N, amino acid N and ammonium N in the soil increased significantly （P 〈 0.05） with increasing manure and fertilizer N rates, but were not influenced by increasing P rates. Also, application of manure or N fertilizer or P fertilizer did not significantly influence either the quantity of amino sugar N or its proportion of TN. Application of manure significantly increased （P 〈 0.05） hydrolysable unknown N, but adding N or P did not. In addition, application of manure or N fertilizer or P fertilizer did not significantly influence the proportions of different soil organic N forms.     

温度和水分对华中地区菜地土壤氮素矿化的影响

为研究华中地区菜地土壤的矿化特征和矿化规律,拟定菜地土壤合理的氮肥施用量,本文以华中地区两种典型菜地土壤——黄棕壤和潮土为研究对象,利用室内连续培养试验研究了温度、水分对菜地土壤矿化的影响。结果表明,黄棕壤的矿化速率和氨化速率均随着温度的升高而升高;硝化速率在15%和25%含水量下随温度的升高而升高,而在35%含水量下随温度的升高而降低。潮土矿化速率在15%含水量时随温度的升高而升高,而在25%和35%含水量下随温度的升高先增加后减小;硝化速率在15%和35%含水量时随温度的升高而增加,25%含水量时随温度的升高先增加后降低;氨化作用随温度的升高而降低。黄棕壤的矿化量在含水量为25%、温度35℃时高达34.9 mg.kg 1;潮土的矿化量在含水量为25%、温度为25℃时最高,为63.9mg.kg 1。不同温度下潮土矿化量均大于黄棕壤。黄棕壤的氨化速率随含水量的增加而增加,硝化速率随含水量的增加而降低,矿化速率则在含水量25%时最大。潮土的氨化、硝化和矿化作用随水分变化不明显。本研究还发现,25%的含水量是黄棕壤微生物活性的水分临界点,潮土的水分临界点不明显。通过对土壤氮素的矿化速率与水分含量和温度之间的函数关系模拟发现,黄棕壤模拟效果好于潮土。     

Effect of crop growth on the distribution and mineralization of soil sulfur fractions in the rhizosphere

The effect of plant growth on the mineralization of organic matter and distribution of soil S fractions (plant available SO₄^2—, adsorbed SO₄^2—, carbon‐bonded S, ester‐bonded S, and residual‐S) in the rhizosphere was studied in a greenhouse experiment using a rhizobag technique. In this study wheat, oilseed rape and radish were grown on two soils, a Haplic Acrisol and a Hortic Anthrosol. Significant differences between S fractions in the rhizosphere and non‐rhizosphere were determined in dependence on soil type and crop species. In all cropped treatments lower amounts of ester‐bonded S and higher levels of residual‐S were found in the rhizosphere than in the non‐rhizosphere, while the amount of carbon‐bonded S fractions was similar. These results indicate firstly, that the arylsulfatase activity was higher in the rhizosphere than in the non‐rhizosphere and secondly, that mass flow of SO₄^2—‐S to the rhizosphere increased after mineralization of residual‐S. Compared to the non‐vegetated soil, the ester‐bonded S fraction of wheat and oilseed rape decreased in the rhizosphere revealing that the mineralization of organic S in the rhizosphere is related to the crop type.     

长期施肥和秸秆还田对红壤水稻土氮素分布和矿化特性的影响

为明确长期施肥和秸秆还田对稻田土壤生态系统氮素循环过程的影响,探索维持稻田土壤长期供氮潜力的途径,利用始于1990年的湖南红壤水稻土长期定位试验,研究了长期施肥和秸秆还田对水稻土剖面氮素迁移分布和C/N的影响,比较了不同温度下土壤氮素矿化曲线变化和不同施肥方式氮素矿化动态差异,分析了氮素累积矿化量与有效积温的关系。结果表明,长期施肥或秸秆可以促进红壤水稻土氮素的积累,其主要影响020cm土层,而化肥和秸秆配合施用作用更明显;长期施NPK化肥使土壤C/N降低,而秸秆还田使土壤C/N明显升高。在两种温度下的土壤矿质氮含量和累积矿化量曲线比较相似,10℃下土壤矿化速率达到稳定所需的时间要比30℃下长;30℃下不同施肥处理之间的矿化过程存在显著差异,而10℃下的差异较小,其在56d内矿化出来的矿质氮是10℃下的近两倍。化肥NP（仅施化肥NP）及NP+C（施化肥NP+秸秆还田）处理均有较高氮素矿化量,秸秆还田对土壤氮素矿化的促进作用比仅施化肥明显。在30℃下,土壤积累矿化量与有效积温的关系较好地符合有效积温方程式（EATM）（p0.01）。仅施化肥处理和对照方程中的K值相差不大,而秸秆还田与化肥配施处理方程的K值则有增大趋势,NPK+C（施化肥NPK+秸秆还田）处理的矿化潜力较大,且养分供应能力较强;秸秆配施化肥处理方程中n值的绝对值有减小趋势。随着培养时间延长,秸秆还田配施化肥处理土壤的累积矿化量保持在一个较稳定范围。

Effects of prescribed burning and seasonal and interannual climate variation on nitrogen mineralization in a typical steppe in Inner Mongolia

Fires in grasslands significantly alter nutrient cycling processes. Seasonal climatic changes can interact with fire to further modify nutrient cycling processes. To investigate the effects of fire on soil nitrogen transformation processes and their seasonal change and interannual variability in a typical steppe in Inner Mongolia, we determined the rates of net nitrogen mineralization and nitrification over two growing seasons and a winter following a prescribed spring fire in May 2006. Fire significantly decreased rates of both net nitrogen mineralization and net nitrification during the first growing season and winter following burning. Cumulative net nitrogen mineralization in unburned and burned plots in the 2006 growing season was 133% and 183% higher, respectively, than in the drier 2007 growing season. Nitrogen mineralization apparently occurred in winter and the cumulative net nitrogen mineralization from October 2, 2006, to April 27, 2007 in unburned and burned plots amounted to 1.18 ± 0.25 g N m⁻² and 0.51 ± 0.08 g N m⁻², respectively. Cumulative net nitrogen mineralization was higher in a wet 2006 than in a dry 2007 growing season, indicating that the net N mineralization rate was sensitive to soil moisture in a dry season. Our study demonstrated that a one-time prescribed fire decreased net N mineralization rates only for a short period of time after burning while interannual variation in climate had more significant effects on the process of nitrogen mineralization.     

Responses of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrogen fertilization and precipitation increment in a typical temperate steppe in Inner Mongolia

As the first and rate-limiting step of nitrification, ammonia oxidation can be realized either by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) or archaea (AOA). However, the key factors driving the abundance, community structure and activity of ammonia oxidizers are still unclear, and the relative importance of AOA and AOB in ammonia oxidation is unresolved. In the present study, we examined the effects of long-term (6 years) nitrogen (N) addition and simulated precipitation increment on the abundance and community composition of AOA and AOB based on a field trial in a typical temperate steppe of northern China. We used combined approaches of quantitative PCR, terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and clone library analyses of amoA genes. The study objective was to determine (1) AOA and AOB diversity and activity in response to N addition and increased precipitation and (2) the relative contributions of AOA and AOB to soil ammonia oxidation in the typical temperate steppe. The results showed that the potential nitrification rate (PNR) increased with N addition, but decreased with increased precipitation. Both N addition and increased precipitation significantly increased AOB but not AOA abundance, and a significant correlation was only observed between PNR and AOB amoA gene copies. The T-RFLP analysis showed that both N and precipitation were key factors in shaping the composition of AOB, while AOA were only marginally influenced. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that all AOA clones fell within the soil and sediment lineage while all AOB clones fell within the Nitrosospira. The study suggested that AOA and AOB had distinct physiological characteristics and ecological niches. AOB were shown to be more sensitive to N and precipitation than AOA, and the ammonia oxidation process was therefore supposed to be mainly driven by AOB in this temperate steppe.     

Nutrient composition of leaves and fruit juice of grapevine as affected by soil and nitrogen fertilization

Effects of soil type and nitrogen (N) fertilizer–application rates on the nutrient composition of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Riesling) leaves during a growing cycle were compared with the composition of the resulting grape juice. Grapevines were planted in 75 L containers that had been installed in a vineyard and filled with three different vineyard soils (loess, shell lime, and Keuper). Four typical levels of N fertilizer (40, 80, 120, and 160 kg N ha^–1) were applied. Elemental composition of mature leaves sampled seven times during the growing cycle as well as of the extracted grape juice was analyzed. The time of sampling affected all measured elements (C, N, Ca, K, P, Mg, S, Fe, Zn, Mn, and B) in the leaves. Nitrogen‐fertilizer rate affected the concentrations of all elements except Ca and Mg, while the soil type had significant effects on elemental composition of the leaves with the exception of N, B, and Ca. Soil type had a significant effect on K, S, Mn, and B in the grape juice. Increasing rates of N fertilizer increased C concentration in the grape juice significantly and affected its elemental composition similar to the effects in leaves. This may be explained with the role of leaves as the source for supplying the grapes during ripening via phloem transport. Cluster analysis for the elemental composition of soils, leaves, and grape juice revealed no consistent relationships indicating that other soil characteristics in addition to the mineral concentration influence the elemental composition of grapevine leaves and grape juice.     

黄土高原小流域土壤水分及全氮的垂直变异

为了研究黄土高原土壤中水分及全氮垂直分布及变异情况,对陕北神木县六道沟小流域中苜蓿地、荒草地、农地、柠条地以及油松地5种不同植被类型下0～800 cm土层中土壤含水率和土壤全氮进行了测定和分析。土壤含水率在垂直方向上呈现出干湿交替的层状分布。植被类型影响土壤水分含量的垂直剖面分布;各植被类型下相对高湿层和低湿层出现的深度不同;不同深度土层平均土壤含水率不同。农地及退耕荒草地土壤水分涵养较好,垂直方向上含水率变化较大;人工植被苜蓿、柠条消耗土壤水分较多,土壤含水率变化相对平缓;油松地平均土壤含水率及变化幅度居中。研究区域中,土壤全氮含量水平较低,表层发生陡降后,在20 cm以下土层中仍以很小的变幅降低,变化平缓。柠条地土壤全氮含量高于其他植被类型。
