嫁接与施氮对甜瓜产量和氮素吸收、利用的影响

通过裂区设计田间试验,主区为2种栽培方式(嫁接栽培和自根栽培),副区为4个施氮水平(0、120、240、360 kg N·hm^-2),研究了栽培方式和施氮量对甜瓜产量和品质、氮素运移和分配,以及氮素利用率的影响.结果表明: 嫁接栽培的甜瓜商品瓜产量较自根甜瓜提高了7.3%,可溶性固形物含量降低了0.16%～3.28%;生长前期嫁接栽培甜瓜氮素累积量较自根栽培低,结果后嫁接栽培氮素累积量显著升高,收获时植株氮素累积量较自根栽培增加了5.2%,果实中的氮素累积量提高了10.3%;嫁接栽培植株氮素向果实的转移量较自根栽培提高了20.9%,嫁接栽培果实中的氮素分配率在80%以上,自根栽培的分配率在80%以下;在同一施氮水平下,嫁接栽培的甜瓜氮素吸收利用率较自根栽培提高了1.3%～4.2%,氮素农学效率提高了2.73～5.56 kg·kg^-1,氮素生理利用率提高了7.39～16.18 kg·kg^-1;从商品瓜产量、氮素吸收量和氮素利用率综合考虑,施氮量240 kg·hm^-2为本区域嫁接甜瓜较适宜的氮素用量.     

Available soil nitrogen in relation to fractions of soil nitrogen and other soil properties

The available N of 27 soils from England and Wales was assessed from the amounts of N taken up over a 6-month period by perennial ryegrass grown in pots under uniform environmental conditions. Relationships between availability and the distribution of soil N amongst various fractions were then examined using multiple regression. The relationship: available soil N (mg kg^–1 dry soil)=(N_min×0.672)+(N_inc×0.840)+(N_mom×0.227)–5.12 was found to account for 91% of the variance in available soil N, where N_min=mineral N, N_inc=N mineralized on incubation and N_mom=N in macro-organic matter. The N mineralized on incubation appeared to be derived largely from sources other than the macro-organic matter because these two fractions were poorly correlated. When availability was expressed in terms of available organic N as % of soil organic N (N_ao) the closest relationship with other soil characteristics was: N_ao=[N_inc×(1.395–0.0347×CN_mom]+[N_mom×0.1416], where CN_mom=CN ratio of the macro-organic matter. This relationship accounted for 81% of the variance in the availability of the soil organic N.The conclusion that the macro-organic matter may contribute substantially to the available N was confirmed by a subsidiary experiment in which the macro-organic fraction was separated from about 20 kg of a grassland soil. The uptake of N by ryegrass was then assessed on two subsamples of this soil, one without the macro-organic matter and the other with this fraction returned: uptake was appreciably increased by the macro-organic matter.     

氮肥形态对冬小麦根际土壤氮素生理群活性及无机氮含量的影响

采用大田盆栽方法研究了硝态氮肥、铵态氮肥、酰胺态氮肥3种氮肥形态对冬小麦品种豫麦50生育中后期(拔节期、开花期、花后14 d、花后28 d)根际土壤氮转化相关微生物活性、酶活性和根际土壤NH+4离子、NO-3离子含量的影响。结果表明:随着生育期的推进,除脲酶外,氨化细菌、硝化细菌、亚硝化细菌、反硝化细菌和蛋白酶活性变化的均为"倒V"型变化特征,以花后14 d活性最强;而脲酶活性在拔节期最强,并且其活性远大于其它微生物及酶。氮肥形态对根际土壤氮素生理群及无机氮的影响不同。酰胺态氮肥促进了根际氨化细菌、反硝化细菌、脲酶、蛋白酶的活性,而硝化细菌、亚硝化细菌在硝态氮肥条件下活性较强。除拔节期外,土壤中NH+4离子在铵态氮肥处理下含量较高,NO-3离子在酰氨态氮肥处理下含量较高。因此,酰胺态氮能够促进小麦根际土壤有机氮的分解,硝态氮肥可以促进土壤中氨的转化,以利于小麦根系的吸收与利用。氮肥形态主要是通过影响土壤中氮素生理类群及酶的活性,从而影响土壤中无机氮的含量。

为了解全球气候变化背景下氮沉降对土壤氮矿化的影响及硅添加对土壤氮矿化的促进作用, 该试验设置不同浓度的氮肥单独添加(0、20、40、60 g·m ^-2, 分别为对照CK、N20、N40、N60)以及与硅肥配施(硅酸4 g·m ^-2, Si4), 测定不同处理下0-20、20-40、40-60 cm土层土壤硝态氮含量、铵态氮含量、净硝化速率、净氨化速率以及净矿化速率。结果显示: (1)单独添加氮肥, 各土层土壤硝态氮和铵态氮含量均随处理浓度的增加而增加, 0-20 cm土层N20、N40、N60处理下土壤硝态氮和铵态氮分别较CK增加63.48%、126.04%、247.03%和80.66%、152.52%、244.56%; 随着土层深度增加, 土壤硝态氮、铵态氮含量均有下降, 20-40、40-60 cm土层较0-20 cm土层硝态氮含量分别平均减少53.90%、76.05%, 铵态氮含量分别平均减少48.62%、68.23%。(2)土壤净硝化速率、净氨化速率及净矿化速率随着氮肥浓度增加均呈上升趋势。相同氮肥添加浓度下, 土壤净硝化速率、净氨化速率和净矿化速率随着土层深度增加逐渐下降(除CK外)。(3)与单独添加氮肥比较, 氮硅肥配施, 土壤氮含量有显著提高, 在0-20 cm土层硝态氮和铵态氮较CK分别增加98.78%、192.62%、330.16%和99.96%、195.82%、306.32%, 20-40、40-60 cm土层也有类似趋势。同时, 氮硅配施促进了土壤氮矿化行为, 在0-20 cm土层, N60Si4处理下的土壤净硝化速率、净氨化速率较单独施氮时分别增加35.88%、27.41%。以上结果表明, 与单独氮肥添加相比, 氮硅配施不但能提高土壤氮含量, 而且能促进土壤氮的矿化作用, 对大气氮沉降有一定的缓解作用。     

陕西果园主要分布区氮素投入特点及氮负荷风险分析

为了研究果园氮素投入特点及分析氮素负荷特征,加强果园氮素管理、指导果农科学合理施肥。以陕西省果园主要分布区土壤氮素分析、农户投入调查等统计数据为基础,采用盈余法从果树种类和区域角度分析果园生产体系中的氮素输入输出特点及氮素盈余状况。结果表明,陕西果园主要分布区平均化肥氮投入量927.2 kg/hm2,主要来源于尿素和复合肥,其中尿素占调查样本量的40%以上;通过有机肥投入的氮仅为139.4 kg/hm2。94.8%的果园氮素处于盈余,总体平均盈余量为876.3 kg/hm2,其中氮盈余量超过500 kg/hm2的样本占57.5%,盈余量超过1 000 kg/hm2的样本亦占了27.3%。不同果园相比,猕猴桃园氮素投入及盈余量最高,分别为1 432.9、1 186.9 kg/hm2。不同区域果园比较,土壤氮环境负荷以关中灌区果园较高,达1046.1kg/hm2。果园氮素施用与养分盈余量之间存在极显著的正相关。陕西果园氮素的高量投入给土壤环境带来较大的氮素负荷,这对土壤环境和周围水体造成很大威胁。     

氮素水平对初花后棉株生物量、氮素累积特征及氮素利用率动态变化的影响

在大田栽培条件下,分别在长江流域下游棉区(江苏南京)和黄河流域黄淮棉区(河南安阳)设置棉花氮素水平试验,定量研究氮素水平对花后棉株生物量、氮素累积特征及氮素累积利用率动态变化的影响,结果表明:棉株总生物量和氮素累积量随花后棉株生育进程的动态变化符合S型曲线,安阳、南京试点分别以360kg.hm-2、240kg.hm-2氮素水平的总生物量、氮素累积最多,其动态累积模型的特征参数值最为协调,皮棉产量最高。因此,可以通过改变施肥量来调节初花后棉株生长特征值,从而获得高产。棉株氮素累积利用率随初花后棉花生育进程的推进,呈现为不规则的S型曲线变化趋势,计算两试点的氮素累积利用率、瞬时利用率,安阳试点以360 kg.hm-2的施氮水平为最优,南京以240 kg.hm-2最高;施肥过多不仅利用率低,而且易造成营养器官比例加大,棉株虽可获得较大的干物质和氮素累积,但不能适时向生殖器官转移,皮棉产量降低。     

Global soil nitrogen cycle pattern and nitrogen enrichment effects: Tropical versus subtropical forests

Tropical and subtropical forest biomes are a main hotspot for the global nitrogen (N) cycle. Yet, our understanding of global soil N cycle patterns and drivers and their response to N deposition in these biomes remains elusive. By a meta-analysis of 2426-single and 161-paired observations from 89 published ¹⁵ N pool dilution and tracing studies, we found that gross N mineralization (GNM), immobilization of ammonium ($I_{{\mathrm{NH}}_4}$) and nitrate ($I_{{\mathrm{NO}}_3}$), and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) were significantly higher in tropical forests than in subtropical forests. Soil N cycle was conservative in tropical forests with ratios of gross nitrification (GN) to $I_{{\mathrm{NH}}_4}$ (GN/$I_{{\mathrm{NH}}_4}$) and of soil nitrate to ammonium (NO₃⁻/NH₄⁺) less than one, but was leaky in subtropical forests with GN/$I_{{\mathrm{NH}}_4}$ and NO₃⁻/NH₄⁺ higher than one. Soil NH₄⁺ dynamics were mainly controlled by soil substrate (e.g., total N), but climatic factors (e.g., precipitation and/or temperature) were more important in controlling soil NO₃⁻ dynamics. Soil texture played a role, as GNM and $I_{{\mathrm{NH}}_4}$ were positively correlated with silt and clay contents, while $I_{{\mathrm{NO}}_3}$ and DNRA were positively correlated with sand and clay contents, respectively. The soil N cycle was more sensitive to N deposition in tropical forests than in subtropical forests. Nitrogen deposition leads to a leaky N cycle in tropical forests, as evidenced by the increase in GN/$I_{{\mathrm{NH}}_4}$, NO₃⁻/NH₄⁺, and nitrous oxide emissions and the decrease in $I_{{\mathrm{NO}}_3}$ and DNRA, mainly due to the decrease in soil microbial biomass and pH. Dominant tree species can also influence soil N cycle pattern, which has changed from conservative in deciduous forests to leaky in coniferous forests. We provide global evidence that tropical, but not subtropical, forests are characterized by soil N dynamics sustaining N availability and that N deposition inhibits soil N retention and stimulates N losses in these biomes.     

Human activities and nitrogen in waters

Shenzhen was a famous typical rapid-urbanization city in China, and this study compares plant species diversity in urban parks from the start of urbanization through 2011. Results show that the plant species biodiversity increased rapidly: the rate changed from 140% to 980% and the average increasing rate was 406.90%, but only 12.59% of plants spread into the park naturally. Shrubs had the highest rate; with change increasing from 20.70% to 43.54%, they replaced trees to become the dominant type. The biodiversity of native plants also increased, but their proportion relative to all species had declined. The homogenization of plant species in the parks increased; more than half of the plant species (62.24%) are located in 5–7 parks at once now, compared with 65.52% of species located in only 2–3 parks at the start of the study. The increase of species was faster than the increase of families; many new species planted belong to a few specific families. The ratio of species to families declined from 0.40 to 0.32. Results indicate that the rapid increase of plant species diversity as well as their homogenization happened in the initial stage of urbanization, and so rapid urbanization might be the major factor in the changes in plant species diversity in municipal parks. Rapid urbanization was an important cause of change in plant species diversity.     

甘蔗//大豆间作和减量施氮对甘蔗产量、 植株及土壤氮素的影响

通过田间试验探讨了甘蔗//大豆1 ∶ 1、1 ∶ 2间作模式和施氮(300 kg/hm²,525 kg/hm²)水平对甘蔗鲜重产量、甘蔗单株氮含量、土壤硝态氮、铵态氮以及微生物量氮的影响。结果表明:减量施氮(300 kg/hm²)水平下,间作甘蔗鲜重产量较单作显著下降,但间作的土地当量比均大于1,且大豆产量为1.52和3.25 t/hm²。不同施氮水平对甘蔗鲜重无显著影响,施氮水平和种植模式对甘蔗单株氮吸收量、甘蔗收获后土壤硝态氮和微生物量氮均无显著影响。土壤氮素随甘蔗大豆的不同生长时期而变化,在甘蔗分蘖末期(大豆收获期)达到最低值,此时期减量施氮水平下甘蔗//大豆间作模式(1 ∶ 1)土壤硝态氮显著高于单作。综合以上结果,从提高土地利用率和保护农业生态环境考虑,甘蔗//大豆间作模式下减量施氮具有一定的可行性。     

Contemporary and pre-industrial global reactive nitrogen budgets

Increases and expansion of anthropogenic emissions of both oxidized nitrogen compounds, NO_x, and a reduced nitrogen compound, NH₃, have driven an increase in nitrogen deposition. We estimate global NO_x and NH₃ emissions and use a model of the global troposphere, MOGUNTIA, to examine the pre-industrial and contemporary quantities and spatial patterns of wet and dry NO_y and NH_x deposition. Pre-industrial wet plus dry NO_x and NH_x deposition was greatest for tropical ecosystems, related to soil emissions, biomass burning and lightning emissions. Contemporary NO_y+NH_x wet and dry deposition onto Northern Hemisphere (NH) temperate ecosystems averages more than four times that of preindustrial N deposition and far exceeds contemporary tropical N deposition. All temperate and tropical biomes receive more N via deposition today than pre-industrially. Comparison of contemporary wet deposition model estimates to measurements of wet deposition reveal that modeled and measured wet deposition for both NO ₃ ^– and NH ₄ ⁺ were quite similar over the U.S. Over Western Europe, the model tended to underestimate wet deposition of NO ₃ ^– and NH ₄ ⁺ but bulk deposition measurements were comparable to modeled total deposition. For the U.S. and Western Europe, we also estimated N emission and deposition budgets. In the U.S., estimated emissions exceed interpolated total deposition by 3-6 Tg N, suggesting that substantial N is transported offshore and/or the remote and rural location of the sites may fail to capture the deposition of urban emissions. In Europe, by contrast, interpolated total N deposition balances estimated emissions within the uncertainty of each.Abbreviations EMEP European Monitoring and Evaluation Program - GEIA Global Emissions Inventory Activity - NADP/NTN National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network in the US - NH Northern Hemisphere - NH_x=NH₃+NH ₊ ⁴ NO_x=NO+NO₂ NO_y total odd nitrogen=NO_x+HNO₃+HONO+HO₂NO₂+NO₃+radical (NO₃ ^.)+Peroxyacetyl nitrates+N₂O₅+organic nitrates - SH Southern Hemisphere - Gg 10⁹ g - Tg 10¹² g     

棉花蕾花铃生物量、氮累积特征及临界氮浓度稀释模型

在大田栽培条件下,于河南安阳（黄河流域黄淮棉区）和江苏南京（长江流域下游棉区）设置了棉花氮素水平试验,对不同氮素水平条件下棉花蕾花铃的生物量、氮素累积及氮浓度的动态变化进行分析,并依据Justes的临界氮浓度稀释模型确定方法,研究棉花蕾花铃临界氮浓度稀释模型。结果表明：棉花蕾花铃的生物量增长和氮吸收累积均受氮素水平的影响,其动态变化符合S型曲线,氮累积的快速起始时间较生物量早1～5d;氮浓度过高或过低均不利于产量形成,蕾花铃等器官存在氮奢侈消费现象;氮浓度随施氮量的增加而升高、随生育进程的推移而降低,其生物量累积量与氮浓度间符合幂函数关系,两试点蕾花铃氮稀释曲线模型形式相同,但模型参数a不同,不同生态区存在独立的临界氮稀释曲线模型。由于临界稀释模型具有明确的生物学意义,可以作为定量诊断蕾花铃氮营养动态变化的指标之一。     

Accumulation characteristics of biomass and nitrogen and critical nitrogen concentration dilution model of cotton reproductive organ

Several nitrogen (N) field experiments were carried out in Nanjing and Anyang, China, to study the dynamic characteristics of biomass accumulation and N uptake, and to define the dilution curve for critical N concentration in cotton reproductive organ over the growth period. The results show that the total biomass and N accumulation were affected significantly by the rate of N application, exhibiting a sigmoid curve over time. The beginning time of fast N accumulation was 1–5 d earlier than that of biomass accumulation. The cotton lint yield was correlated with N concentration in the reproductive organ and fluctuated with varying N concentration, indicating the existence of luxurious N consumption in the cotton reproductive organ. The N concentration increased with increasing N application rates, and decreased gradually during the growth period. The relationship between biomass and N concentration can be described with a power equation. The patterns of the N concentration dilution model were consistent at both experimental sites, but the model parameter values of a differed. The results presented in this paper indicate that a critical N concentration dilution curve for cotton reproductive organ is independent of ecological region and can be described with a power equation.     

Variation in rates of nitrogen fixation in termites: response to dietary nitrogen in the field and laboratory

Abstract. Termites contribute nitrogen to their habitat through the nitrogenase activity of their bacterial symbionts. Previous studies indicate that high levels of dietary nitrogen suppress nitrogen fixation in termites. We examined the effects of dietary nitrogen on fixation rates in termites in both field and laboratory experiments. Ten field cplonies of Reticulitermes were collected and assayed for nitrogenase activity in July 1993, October 1993, January 1994, and April 1994. The nitrogen content of the wood collected with each colony was determined. There was no correlation between termite nitrogen fixation rates and the amount of nitrogen in their food for any of the four collection periods. In laboratory experiments, nitrogen fixation rates decreased when termites were fed filter paper treated with 2% and 5% ammonium nitrate or a 5% mixture of the amino acids proline, tryptophan and leucine, compared to water-treated controls. By contrast, the nitrogenase activity of termites fed filter paper treated with 2% and 5% ammonium phosphate, a mixture of the amino acids histidine, serine and aspartic acid, or 2% and 5% urea did not differ from the controls. However, nitrogenase activity increased when termites were fed with 2% uric acid. No clear association exists between termite nitrogen fixation and the nitrogen content of their food.

不同小麦品种氮效率与氮吸收对氮素供应的响应及生理机制

以具有典型特征的不同氮效率小麦品种为材料,研究了低氮和高氮条件下小麦的生物学性状、生理参数和氮同化代谢酶活性.结果表明:低氮条件下,不同氮效率小麦品种根系干质量、茎叶干质量、植株氮累积量基本上为氮高效品种>中效品种>低效品种.低氮条件下,氮吸收高效品种（冀97-6360）的根系活跃吸附面积、TTC还原力、叶片硝酸还原酶活性和叶片NO₃^-含量最大;生理高效品种(石新5418)具有较高的叶片亚硝酸还原酶活性和谷氨酰胺合成酶活性,较低的植株全氮含量、叶片NO₃^-含量和硝酸还原酶活性.低氮条件下植株氮利用效率与氮吸收系数显著相关.不同小麦品种在高氮条件下的生物学性状、生理参数和氮同化代谢酶活性与低氮条件下不尽一致.     

土壤易矿化有机态氮和微生物态氮作为土壤氮素生物有效性指标的评价

通过盆栽试验研究了土壤易矿化有机态氮和土壤微生物态氮与土壤净矿化氮及植物吸氮量之间的关系。结果表明,种植前土壤易矿化有机态氮和土壤微生物态氮以及种植前后土壤易矿化有机态氮的变化量均与土壤氮素净矿化量和植物吸氮量之间存在显著的相关性。在盆栽试验条件下,土壤易矿化有机态氮和种植前土壤微生物态氮能够较好地反映土壤氮素的矿化和供应能力,可以作为土壤氮素的生物有效性指标。     

Effects of elevated ozone and nitrogen addition on leaf nitrogen metabolism in poplar

臭氧和氮添加对杨树叶片氮代谢的影响 臭氧(O₃)污染和氮(N)沉降/施肥都能同时影响植物的生长。然而，几乎没有研究探究O₃和N添加对植物叶片N代谢过程的复合影响。本研究在开顶式气室(OTC)中对杨树进行了为期95 d的熏蒸实验，包括两个O₃水平(NF，环境O₃水平；NF60，NF + 60 ppb O₃)和4个N处理(N0，没有N添加；N50，N0 + 50 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹；N100，N0 + 100 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹；N200，N0 + 200 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹)。测定了与叶片N代谢相关的一些指标，包括叶片N代谢酶的活性、总叶片N浓度、NO₃⁻-N浓度、NH₄⁺-N浓度、总氨基酸浓度(TAA)、总可溶性糖的浓度(TSP)。研究结果表明，相对于NF，在8月份NF60处理显著刺激了硝酸还原酶(NR)的活性，使其升高了47.2%。当平均所有的N处理和两次取样时间时，NF60处理下谷氨酰胺酶(GS)的活性比NF处理下的高57.3%。但是O₃处理并没有显著影响TSP浓度，并且在8月也没有降低TAA的浓度。相对N0，高的N添加处理(N200)显著增加了杨树叶片的饱和光合速率(A_sat) 24%，并且分 别在8和9月增加了总叶片N浓度70.3%和43.3%。但是在8月份，N200处理下光合N利用效率比N0的低26.1%。这表明N添加导致的A_sat和叶片总的N浓度的升高是不匹配的，高N处理下，叶片中一些剩余的N没有被用于优化植物碳的同化。同时，也发现高N添加显著刺激了叶片N代谢过程，叶片中的NO₃⁻-N浓度、NH₄⁺-N浓度、TAA浓度、NR和GS活性都显著升高。然而，O₃和N添加对杨树叶片所有N代谢相关的指标都没有交互影响。这些结果将有助于更好地了解在高O₃污染和N沉降/施肥下植物的N代谢过程以及生物地球化学循环过程。     

间作对氮调控玉米光合速率和光合氮利用效率的影响

研究间作后作物光合碳同化和光合氮利用效率(PNUE)对氮投入的响应, 对阐释间作产量优势的氮调控效应, 指导间作氮肥管理有重要意义。本研究设置玉米(Zea mays)单作、玉米间作两种种植模式的4个氮水平(N0, 0 kg·hm ^-2; N1, 125 kg·hm ^-2; N2, 250 kg·hm ^-2; N3, 375 kg·hm ^-2), 分析间作与施氮量对玉米叶片特征、光合参数、PNUE和产量的影响。结果表明: 与单作相比, 间作显著增加玉米叶片的叶干质量和比叶质量; 各施氮水平(除N3)下, 间作中靠近马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum)侧的玉米叶面积均显著高于单作玉米。单间作对比发现, 间作提高了玉米光饱和点和暗呼吸速率。单作、间作靠玉米侧(I-M)、间作靠马铃薯侧(I-P)的玉米PNUE均随施氮量增加而降低, 降幅以I-P最大; 施氮量低于250 kg·hm ^-2时, 相同施氮量下的玉米PNUE和净光合速率(P_n)均以I-P最高, I-M和单作次之。间作显著提高了玉米产量(土地当量比>1)。该研究中当施氮量≤250 kg·hm ^-2时, 间作I-P的玉米叶片P_n和PNUE显著提高可能是间作玉米产量提高的重要原因。
