常年淹水稻田甲烷产生潜力和产生途径的季节变化

甲烷的减排问题已成为各国政府和科研人员关注的焦点。稻田是温室气体甲烷的重要排放源,甲烷产生是排放的前提条件,主要有乙酸发酵和CO₂/H₂还原两条途径。常年淹水稻田甲烷排放量高,减排潜力大,但关于这类稻田甲烷产生途径的季节变化规律尚少见报道。于四川省资阳市的常年淹水稻田,采集水稻4个重要生育期(分蘖期、孕穗期、抽穗期、成熟期)的新鲜土样,通过室内厌氧培养试验观测了甲烷产生潜力,并采用稳定性碳同位素方法和氟甲烷(CH₃F,2%)抑制法,量化CO₂/H₂产甲烷的碳同位素分馏系数(α(CO₂/CH₄)),从而定量评估乙酸产甲烷途径的相对贡献率(?乙酸)。结果表明：添加CH₃F显著降低甲烷产生,甲烷产生潜力在成熟期最大,变化范围为3.22～12.71μg·g^–1·d^–1;产生CH₄的δ¹³C值(δ¹³CH_...     

Effects of split nitrogen fertilization on post-anthesis photoassimilates,nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield in malting barley

Abstract

Split nitrogen applications are widely adopted to improve grain yield and enhance nitrogen use effective in crops. In a two-year field experiment at two eco-sites, five fractions of topdressed nitrogen of 0%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% were implemented. Responses of radiation interception and leaf photosynthesis after anthesis, dry matter accumulation and assimilates remobilization, nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield to fraction of topdressed nitrogen treatments were investigated in malting barley. Net photosynthetic rate of the penultimate leaf, leaf area index and light extinction coefficient increased with increasing fraction topdressed nitrogen from 0% to 30%, and then decreased from 30% to 50%. The putative gross maximum canopy photosynthesis was the highest for fraction of topdressed nitrogen of 30%, which was concomitant with the highest amount of post-anthesis accumulated assimilates. The remobilization of pre-anthesis stored assimilates from vegetative organs into grains was hardly significantly affected by fractions of topdressed nitrogen. Grain yield was the highest for fraction of topdressed nitrogen of 30%, which coincided with the highest plant nitrogen uptake and physiological and agronomic nitrogen use efficiencies. The enhanced nitrogen use efficiency was corresponding to the improved photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency in the leaves at fraction of topdressed nitrogen of 30%. In conclusion, appropriate fraction of topdressed nitrogen application on malting barley improved assimilation rate and nitrogen use efficiency resulting in higher grain yields and proper grain protein content in malting barley.     

Soil respiration as affected by vegetation types in a semiarid region of China

There are variations in soil respiration across vegetation types; however, it is unclear which factors are mainly responsible for the variations. A field experiment was conducted in 2008 and 2009 in a semiarid region of China to investigate the daytime and monthly variation of soil respiration across vegetation types and to determine the factors controlling the variation. An automated portable soil carbon dioxide (CO₂) flux measurement system was used to measure the soil respiration in shrubland, grassland, fallow land, and cropland during the growing periods. The results showed that the relative daytime variation amplitude of soil respiration in the fallow land and cropland was as small as that of shrubland and grassland during July, but greater than that of shrubland and grassland during August and October. A hysteresis effect for the relationship between the daytime soil respiration and daytime soil temperature was observed for all four vegetation types. There was also a hysteresis effect for the relationship between the daytime soil respiration and daytime air temperature for the grassland. Over the study period, the monthly soil respiration rates of the fallow land and cropland were statistically comparable and significantly lower than those of the shrubland and grassland, with the exception of August, during which the monthly soil respiration of the cropland was as great as that of shrubland and grassland. The factors responsible for the monthly soil respiration variation across the vegetation types differed from month to month. In general, the soil temperature and soil water content were mainly responsible in August and September; however, the root biomass predominated in July and October. The results are valuable for accurately estimating regional carbon fluxes by considering the temporal variability of the soil respiration variation across vegetation types in the Loess Plateau of China.     

Effects of rainfall and manure application on phosphorus leaching in field lysimeters during fallow season

Purpose

Transformation and transport of soil phosphorus (P) from chemical fertilizer or manure are affected by agronomic practices (i.e., fertilization, irrigation, and tillage) and numerous abiotic factors (i.e., temperature, drought, and rainfall). Previous studies on the effects of manure application on P loss were mostly conducted during cultivation and often using the laboratory column approach. Validated field observations by integrating P availability with the risk of P loss are few. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of rainfall and manure application on P leaching during fallow season.

Materials and methods

An in situ field lysimeter experiment was performed. Leachate was collected and analyzed for total P (TP) and dissolved reactive P (DRP). At the end of the lysimeter trial, soils were sampled incrementally to a depth of 40 cm with the following depth intervals: 0–4, 4–10, 10–20, 20–30, and 30–40 cm. Soil water extractable P (P_w) was analyzed and degree of P saturation (DPS) was calculated after oxalate and Mehlich-3 (M3) extractions.

Results and discussion

Phosphorus loading was found below 40 cm in all treatments and P was most concentrated in the 4–10 cm soil layer. High rainfall enhanced P leaching and consequently led to lower P_w and higher leachate DRP and TP than low rainfall. Furthermore, P leaching was observed regardless of manure application, with the highest leachate DRP (1.83 mg L^?1) and TP (7.46 mg L^?1) concentrations found at the end of experiment (day 53). Observed P leaching loads during fallow season (53 days) varied between 0.08 and 1.21 kg ha^?1. The thresholds of DPS indicating P leaching were identified at 18.9% DPS_M3(Ca) and 12.9% DPS_M3(Ca+Mg), respectively. In this study, the DPS_M3(Ca) and DPS_M3(Ca+Mg) values exceeded the corresponding thresholds in the upper 30-cm soil layer but did not reach the thresholds at 30–40 cm. Nevertheless, the leachate DRP and TP indicated soil P leaching.

Conclusions

The results showed that intensive rainfall could significantly increase P leaching from manure application. Moreover, P leaching could occur in fallow season even in the absence of manure input, which should be assessed by not only soil P sorption capacities, but also soil fertilization history and hydrologic conditions. Implementation of soil P level evaluation is critical before spreading manure on land to avoid P pollution. Cost-effective and applicable soil test methods are required to generate environmental indicators to classify agricultural lands for risk of P loss, providing basis to safe manure disposal.     

pH-dependent distribution of soil ammonia oxidizers across a large geographical scale as revealed by high-throughput pyrosequencing

Purpose

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) are ubiquitous and important for nitrogen transformations in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the distribution patterns of these microorganisms as affected by the terrestrial environments across a large geographical scale are not well understood. This study was designed to gain insights into the ecological characteristics of AOA and AOB in 65 soils, collected from a wide range of soil and ecosystem types.

Materials and methods

Barcoded pyrosequencing in combination with quantitative PCR was employed to characterize the relative abundance, diversity, and community composition of archaeal 16S rRNA gene, and AOA and AOB amoA genes in 65 soil samples.

Results and discussion

The operational taxonomic unit richness and Shannon diversity of Thaumarchaeota, AOA, and AOB were highly variable among different soils, but their variations were best explained by soil pH. Soil pH was strongly correlated with the overall community composition of ammonia oxidizers, as measured by the pairwise Bray–Curtis dissimilarity across all sites. These findings were further corroborated by the evident pH-dependent distribution patterns of four thaumarchaeal groups (I.1a-associated, I.1b, I.1c, and I.1c-associated) and four AOB clusters (2, 3a.1, 10, and 12). The ratios of AOA to AOB amoA gene copy numbers significantly decreased with increasing pH, suggesting a competitive advantage of AOA over AOB in acidic soils.

Conclusions

These results suggest that the distribution of ammonia oxidizers across large-scale biogeographical settings can be largely predicted along the soil pH gradient, thus providing important indications for the ecological characteristics of AOA and AOB in different soils.
