施N对不同水稻品种N肥利用率及根际硝化作用和硝化微生物的影响

发生在水稻根际的硝化作用对水稻的氮素（N）营养受到人们越来越大的关注。在田间条件下研究了不同N效率粳稻品种（4007、武运粳7号和Elio）在无肥（0kgN/hm^2）、中肥（180kgN/hm^2）和高肥（300kgN/hm^2）水平下籽粒产量、吸N量、N肥利用率、根际土壤铵态氮（NH4^＋-N）和硝态氮（NO3^--N）含量、硝化强度和氨氧化细菌（AOB）数量。结果表明不同水稻品种的籽粒产量在3个N处理中差异极显著,4007在中肥处理中获得最高产量11117kg/hm^2,而Eilo在所有处理中籽粒产量均最低。各品种地上部吸N量随施N量增加而增加,但各品种之间差异不显著。不同水稻品种N肥利用率差异显著,4007显著高于武运粳7号和Elio。本试验根据不同品种水稻在不施N肥水平下的籽粒产量与N肥利用率的大小,将3个品种分为N肥高效敏感型（4007）、N肥高效不敏感型（武运粳7号）和N肥低效不敏感型（Elio）。在水稻中后期干湿交替的水分管理条件下,无肥和中肥区的水稻根际土壤以NO3^--N为主;而在高肥区则以NH4^＋-N为主。随着施N量增加,水稻根际土壤铵、硝态N含量也随之增加。NH4^＋-N含量在无肥、中肥和高肥水平下分别为0.88、0.94mg/kg和13.5mg/kg,而NO3^--N含量分别为1.61、1.73mg/kg和2.33mg/kg。不同水稻品种根际土壤硝化强度之间差异极显著,在3个施N水平下均表现为4007〉武运粳7号〉Elio。其平均值分别为6.94、5.46μg/（kg·h）和2.42μg/（kg·h）。在3个施N水平下,Elio根际土壤AOB数量均显著低于4007和武运粳7号。4007根际土壤AOB数量在高肥水平下达最大值2.02×106个/g土,而最小值为中肥水平下Elio的根际土壤（1.89×105个/g土）。相关性分析表明,水稻根际土壤硝化强度在无肥、中肥和高肥条件下与产量呈极显著正相关关系（r=0.799,0.877,0.934）,而且在中肥条件下与水稻N肥利用率显著相关（r=0.735）。水稻根际土壤AOB数量分别和硝化强度以及水稻籽粒产量呈极显著正相关关系。试验结果表明,水稻根际的硝化作用较大程度上决定着水稻籽粒产量或水稻N肥利用率。     

不同氮素形态及水分胁迫对水稻苗期水分吸收、光合作用及生长的影响

采用室内营养液培养,聚乙二醇（PEG6000）模拟水分胁迫处理、HgCl2抑制水通道蛋白活性的方法,在3种供氮形态下（NH4^＋-N／NO36-N为100／0、50／50和0／100）,研究了水稻苗期水分吸收、光合及生长的状况。结果表明,在非水分胁迫下,水稻单位干重吸水量以单一供NO3^--N处理最高,加HgCl2抑制水通道蛋白活性后,单一供NO3^--N、NH4^＋-N和NH4^＋-N／NO3^--N为50,50处理的水稻水分吸收分别下降了9．6％、20．7％和16．0％;但在水分胁迫下,单一供N03^--N的处理水分吸收量显著降低,低于其它2个处理,加HgCl2抑制水通道蛋白活性后,水分吸收量分别降低了1．0％、18．8％和23．5％。在2种水分条件（水分胁迫与非水分胁迫）下,净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和细胞间隙CO2浓度等指标均以单一供NH4^＋-N处理最大,NH4^＋-N／NO3^--N为50,50处理次之,单一供NO3^--N处理最小。HgCl2处理结果表明,不同形态氮素营养能够影响水稻幼苗根系水通道蛋白活性。在2种水分条件下,NH4^＋-N／N03^--N为50,50处理的生物量（干重）均最大。本研究为水稻苗期合理施肥以壮苗提供了理论依据。     

不同施肥措施对黄河上游灌区油葵田土壤N2O排放的影响

农田土壤已成为大气氧化亚氮(N2O)最大的人为释放源,为了解长期有机肥与无机肥配施对后茬作物土壤N2O排放的影响,本研究基于宁夏河套地区典型冬小麦-油葵复种农田生态系统,利用静态箱-气相色谱法对后茬作物(油葵)种植期内土壤N2O通量特征进行了测定.结果表明:前茬施肥对后茬油葵土壤N2O排放具有显著的刺激效应,N300-OM(210kg N·hm-2无机肥、90 kg N·hm-2有机肥)、N240-OM1/2(195 kg N·hm-2无机肥、45 kg N·hm-2有机肥)、N300(300 kg N·hm-2无机肥)和N240(240 kg N·hm-2无机肥)处理下土壤N2O生长季平均通量为(34.16!9.72)、(39.69!10.70)、(27.75!9.57)和(26.31!8.52)μg·m-2·h-1,分别是对照样地的4.09、4.75、3.32、3.15倍.施肥处理下油葵生长季内N2O总累积排放量高达1242.5~796.7 g·hm-2,是对照组的4.67~2.99倍;在整个生长季,有机肥与无机肥配施处理N2O排放速率都维持在较高水平,各月累积排放量间无显著差异;而单施化肥处理N2O排放速率逐渐下降,生长季初期为主要排放阶段,7月累积排放量占总排放量的41.3%~41.8%;不同施肥方式下,有机肥与无机肥配施处理N2O总累积排放量显著高于单施化肥,但相同施肥方式下高氮量处理与减氮优化处理(N300-OM与N240-OM1/2,N300与N240)间差异不显著.受干旱影响,土壤水分是控制油葵田土壤N2O排放的主要环境因素.有机肥与无机肥配施处理下N2O排放速率与NH4+-N含量呈显著正相关,而所有处理下N2O排放速率与土壤NO3--N含量均不相关,表明添加有机肥会持续改善土壤NH4+-N供给进而增加N2O排放.     

莴笋对不同形态氮素的反应

探讨了不同形态氮素对莴笋生长发育的影响及其营养特性。结果表明,莴笋幼苗根系对NH4^+ -N的亲和力稍大于NO3^- -N的亲和力;分别供给NO3^- -N+NO3^- -N及NH4^+ -N,莴笋的生物学产量和吸N量均依次递减（分别为100：56.9：12.4,100：48.9：8.6）,因此在水培条件下,NO3^- -N是最适合莴笋生长发育的氮源,NH4^+ -N与NO3^- -N各占50％时对莴笋的生长发育已有一定的抑制作用,仅以NH4^+ -N作氮源则莴笋很难生长;NH4^+ -N与NO3^- -N各占50％时,莴笋倾向于吸收较多的NH4^+ -N,而且在培养不同阶段NH4^+/NO3^-吸收比例均大于1,莴笋表现出喜铵性,但NH4^+ -N并非莴笋很适合的氮源;营养液中NO3^- -N不足,主要影响莴笋茎叶的生长,而NH4^+ -N所占比例达50％时,莴笋根系生长受到抑制,且有明显的受害症状;以NO3^- -N作氮源预培养两周,以含微量NO3^- -N的自来水为水源,再单独以NH4^+ -N为氮源,对莴笋生长有极大的促进作用,同时还大幅度降低了体内硝酸盐的含量。尿素作氮源莴笋未出现受害症状,但莴笋的生长发育状况明显劣于其它氮源。     

四川都江堰地区桢楠林、杉木林和常绿阔叶林土壤N库的季节变化

通过对四川都江堰地区桢楠（Phoebe zhennan）林、杉木（Cunninghamia lanceolata（Lamb．））林以及常绿阔叶林为期1a的研究,比较不同森林群落类型中N库各组分的大小以及季节动态,同时研究不同群落类型中N库各组分之间的关系,探讨植被、土壤特性以及微生物对N转化的影响。结果表明：①3种群落类型中土壤NH4^＋-N含量有明显的季节变化,均在冬季（12月份）达到最大。随着植物的生长,NH4^＋-N含量逐渐下降;②3种类型的群落土壤中NO3^--N含量的平均值差别很大,同一个森林群落类型在不同季节NO3^--N含量有明显的季节变化,但并不是所有的季节之间都存在显著差异;③3种森林群落类型在采样期内的土壤平均全N含量存在显著差别,在不同季节,土壤全N含量变化并不大;④微生物量N在采样期内的波动很大,就每个样地来说也具有一定的规律。得出的结论认为：不同的森林群落类型中的N循环同该群落内的土壤和植被类型有密切的联系,土壤微生物量N同环境因素（土壤温度和湿度）的关系存在时空变化。     

哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林不同干扰强度下土壤无机氮的变化

在云南哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林地区,选取了木果柯原始林、栎类次生林和人工茶叶地3种群落类型代表人为干扰强度从小到大的梯度,研究了人为干扰强度对土壤NH4^+—N、NO3^-—N等特征的影响．结果表明,3种群落的土壤无机氮含量(0～15cm)存在显著差异：表现为随干扰强度增加,土壤有机质、全N降低,C／N比增高,NO3^-—N流失的潜力在增加,说明干扰不利于土壤肥力的保持和群落正向演替．同一群落类型下不同空间位置土壤的有机质、全N、C／N比、pH值和NH4^+—N基本一致,但NO3^-—N有较大变化,表明土壤中NO3^-—N的不稳定性．此外,NO4^+—N为无机氮的主要存在形式,约占无机氮总量的95.5％～99.2％     

不同供氮水平下施硅对辣椒产量与营养品质及其养分吸收利用的影响

为探究不同供氮水平下施硅对辣椒产量、果实品质及养分吸收利用的影响，以辣椒品种‘奥黛丽’为试验材料，采用基质栽培，设置正常施氮肥（1.0N：260.9 kg/667 m2）、氮肥减施40%（0.6N：149.1 kg/667 m2）、氮肥减施60%（0.4N：104.3 kg/667 m2）、不施氮肥（0N：0 kg/667 m2）4个不同供氮（基施）水平和2个硅肥（根施）水平（0 mmol/L、1.5 mmol/L），研究不同供氮水平下硅对辣椒产量、品质及氮肥利用效率的影响效应，并筛选出最佳施肥处理，旨在为辣椒的增产提质提供理论基础和技术参考。结果表明：（1）0.6N供氮水平较1.0N、0.4N和0N供氮水平下的辣椒果实产量分别提高了7.18%、74.14%和87.99%，施硅处理后则进一步促进了果实产量，其中0.6N供氮水平下施硅较正常供氮量下的辣椒果实产量提高了15.33%；（2）0.6N供氮水平更有利于促进辣椒果实中可溶性糖、还原糖、可溶性蛋白、维生素C含量的提高和可滴定酸、NO3?含量的降低，施硅后不同供氮水平下辣椒果实品质均显著提高；（3）0.6N供氮水平更有利于辣椒果实矿质元素的积累与土壤氮肥利用率的提高，其中0.6N供氮水平较1.0N供氮水平下的氮肥利用率与氮肥农学效率分别显著提高了97.57%和69.20%，施硅处理后不同供氮水平下辣椒果实矿质元素含量与土壤氮肥利用率均显著提高；（4）通过对辣椒产量及果实品质指标的主成分分析，结果表明，0.6N+Si处理下的综合得分最高，即氮肥减施40%配施1.5 mmol/L的外源硅肥对辣椒产量、品质及氮肥的吸收利用促进效果最佳。     

不同分子量壳聚糖对土壤碳、氮及呼吸的影响

考察了不同分子量壳聚糖对土壤微生物量C、N、土壤呼吸及矿质N的影响.研究发现：不同分子量的壳聚糖施入土壤后,土壤的微生物量C、N、呼吸及矿质N均明显提高.微生物量C、N及土壤呼吸有相似的变化趋势： 随壳聚糖用量的增加而增大.低分子量壳聚糖施入土壤后,微生物量C、N及土壤呼吸均先快速增加,然后下降;中等及高分子量壳聚糖施入土壤后则是开始时变化较小,第14天开始快速增加,34d后下降.研究还发现,NO3^--N与NH4^＋-N变化趋势不完全相同,NO3^--N开始时变化较小,第14天开始快速增加,34d后快速下降;低分子量壳聚糖处理时,NH4^＋-N开始时快速增加,之后缓慢下降;中等分子量壳聚糖处理时,因加入量不同而不同;高分子量壳聚糖处理时则是从第24天开始变化显著.     

两种微生物菌剂对西番莲果渣高温堆肥腐熟进程的影响

研究了在西番莲果渣堆肥体系中加入两种微生物菌剂（福贝和榕风）后的温度、C／N、NH4^＋ -N和NO3^- -N的动态变化及对西番莲果渣堆肥产品品质的影响．结果表明,在西番莲果渣中加入微生物菌剂能增加高温分解持续时间,加快物料C／N降低的速率,促进NH4^＋ -N向NO3^- -N转化,加快西番莲果渣堆肥腐熟化进程．添加福贝和榕风菌剂后,堆肥高温持续时间分别比对照（4d）增加7d和8d;腐熟后堆肥的NO3^- -N浓度分别比对照增加58．0％和64．2％．添加菌种显著增加了西番莲果渣堆肥的N、P、K养分含量,降低了堆肥容重,提高了堆肥总孔隙度和持水孔隙度,改善了堆肥产品的品质．两种菌剂间对西番莲果渣高温腐熟进程的影响没有显著差异,但福贝菌剂更有利于改善堆肥品质．     

不同氮效率水稻生育后期根表和根际土壤硝化特征

通过田间试验研究了不同氮效率粳稻品种4007(氮高效)和Elio(氮低效)生育后期在N0(0 kgN hm-2)、N180(180 kgN hm-2)和N300(300 kgN hm-2)水平下根表、根际和土体土壤pH值、铵态氮(NH+4-N)和硝态氮(NO-3-N)含量、硝化强度和氨氧化细菌(AOB)数量.结果表明无论是齐穗期、灌浆期还是成熟期,根表土壤pH值均显著低于根际和土体土壤.土壤pH值范围在5.95至6.84之间变化.土壤NH+4-N含量随水稻生长显著下降,且随施氮量增加而显著增加.根表土壤NH+4-N有明显亏缺区,且随距水稻根表距离增加,NH+4-N含量逐渐升高.土壤NO-3-N含量随水稻生长显著增加,施氮处理均显著高于不施氮处理,但N180和N300处理差异不显著.NO-3-N含量表现为根际>土体>根表.水稻根表和根际土壤硝化强度随水稻生长显著下降,而土体土壤硝化强度随时间延长小幅增加.施氮显著提高4007水稻根表土壤在齐穗和收获期硝化强度以及Elio在齐穗期根际硝化强度,但在施氮处理N180和N300中无显著差异.在整个采样期间,土壤硝化强度均表现为根际>根表>土体.水稻根表和根际AOB数量随水稻生长而显著降低,而土体土壤AOB数量无显著变化.例如,根表土壤AOB数量在齐穗期、灌浆期和收获期分别为16.7×105、8.77×105个g-1 dry soil和8.01×105个g-1 dry soil.根表和根际土壤AOB数量无显著差异,但二者显著高于土体土壤AOB数量.就两个氮效率水稻品种而言,土壤pH值基本无差异.4007土壤NH+4-N含量均显著高于Elio.在齐穗期水稻根表、根际和土体土壤NO-3-N含量在N180水平下均表现为Elio显著高于4007.而在灌浆期和收获期,水稻根表、根际和土体土壤则表现为4007显著高于Elio.在所有采样期,两个水稻品种土体土壤硝化强度和AOB数量在3个施氮量下均无显著差异.Elio根表和根际土壤硝化强度和AOB数量在水稻灌浆期之前一直显著高于4007,而在灌浆期之后则显著低于4007,且最终产量和氮素利用率(NUE)显著低于4007,这可能是由于4007灌浆期后硝化作用强,根际产生的NO-3-N含量高,从而4007根吸收NO-3-N的量也高造成的.因此水稻灌浆期和收获期根表和根际硝化作用以及AOB与水稻高产及氮素高效利用密切相关.     

Estimation of nitrification rates in flooded soils

Three techniques for estimating nitrification rates in flooded soils were evaluated in short-term incubation experiments using three soils. The techniques were based on inhibition of either ammonium or nitrite oxidation and ¹³N isotope dilution. Of four inhibitors of ammonium oxidation evaluated, one (allylthiourea) was ineffective and two (2-ethynylpyridine or phenyl acetylene dissolved in ethanol) promoted immobilization of ammonium. Emulsified 2-ethynylpyridine and acetylene were equally effective inhibitors of ammonium oxidation and had little or no effect on gross rates of N mineralization and immobilization. Four inhibitors of nitrite oxidation were evaluated, but this approach was compromised by the nonspecificity of three of the compounds—potassium cyanide, 2-ethylamino-4-isopropylamino-6-methylthio-s-triazine (ametryne) and 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea (DMU)—and by the partial effectiveness of another (potassium chlorate). Two methods based on isotope dilution gave similar estimates of nitrification rates. These rates were similar to those estimated by inhibition of ammonium oxidation in one soil but were lower in the other two soils. In the latter two soils, nitrification of labeled ammonium derived from dissimilatory nitrate reduction resulted in underestimation of nitrification rates by isotope dilution.     

The biogeochemical controls of N2O production and emission in landfill cover soils: the role of methanotrophs in the nitrogen cycle

Emissions of N2O from cover soils of both abandoned (> 30 years) and active landfills greatly exceed the maximum fluxes previously reported for tropical soils, suggesting high microbial activities for N2O production. Low soil matrix potentials (<-0.7 MPa) indicate that nitrification was the most likely mechanism of N2O formation during most of the time of sampling. Soil moisture had a strong influence on N2O emissions. The production of N2O was stimulated by as much as 20 times during laboratory incubations, when moisture was increased from -2.0 MPa to -0.6 MPa. Additional evidence from incubation experiments and delta13C analyses of fatty acids (18:1) diagnostic of methanotrophs suggests that N2O is formed in these soils by nitrification via methanotrophic bacteria. In a NH3(g)-amended landfill soil, the rate of N2O production was significantly increased when incubated with 100 ppmv methane compared with 1.8 ppmv (atmospheric) methane. Preincubation of a landfill soil with 1% CH4 for 2 weeks resulted in higher rates of N2O production when subsequently amended with NH3(g) relative to a control soil preincubated without CH4. At one location, at the soil depth (9-16 cm) of maximum methane consumption and N2O production, we observe elevated concentrations of organic carbon and nitrogen and distinct minima in delta15N (+1.0%) and delta13C (-33.8%) values for organic nitrogen and organic carbon respectively. A delta13C value of -39.3% was measured for 18:1 carbon fatty acids in this soil, diagnostic of type II methanotrophs. The low delta15N value for organic nitrogen is consistent with N2 fixation by type II methanotrophs. These observations all point to a methanotrophic origin for the organic matter at this depth. The results of this study corroborate previous reports of methanotrophic nitrification and N2O formation in aqueous and soil environments and suggest a predominance of type II rather than type I or type X methanotrophs in this landfill soil.     

Effect of high concentrations of nitrogen on mixed populations of nitrifying bacteria isolated from industrial nitrogenous wastewaters.

The effect of high concentrations of different forms of nitrogen (NH4+, NO2-, NO3- and urea N) on nitrification by mixed populations of nitrosobacters isolated from nitrogen fertilizer plant wastewaters and nitrobacters isolated from effluents from a biological bed treating these wastewaters was determined. The inhibitory activity (within the concentration values for industrial wastewaters) of only the reaction products was observed, i.e. nitrites for nitrification phase I and nitrates for nitrification phase II. A mixed population of phase II nitrifying bacteria is highly resistant to high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen (50% inhibition at 3,000 mg N/l).     

秸秆在土壤内分解初期氮素矿化与固持的模拟测定

利用模拟软件Modelmaker对3种作物秸秆在土壤内分解初期氮素循环转化过程进行了模拟,取得了土壤铵态氮、硝态氮、微生物氮及其¹⁵N丰度等个变量模拟值和测定值的良好一致性.模型模拟对氮转化速率测定的结果表明,土壤微生物主要固持铵态氮,对硝态氮固持非常微弱.氮矿化主要发生于作物秸秆,腐殖质氮的矿化极其微弱.一级动力学方程对秸秆氮素矿化过程的描述优于零级动力学方程.微生物固持氮的再矿化过程落后于氮固持过程,假定再矿化不发生或认为再矿化与固持化同时进行可导致氮矿化与固持速率测定的严重误差.忽略氮硝化过程和挥发损失将导致氮矿化和固持速率的测定值偏低.净固持或净矿化的产生不仅与秸秆碳氮比有关,而且与秸秆在土壤内分解时间有关.     

Effects of forest management on soil N cycling in beech forests stocking on calcareous soils

The effects of forest management (thinning) on gross and net N conversion, the balance of inorganic N production and consumption, inorganic N concentrations and on soil microbial biomass in the Ah layer were studied in situ during eight intensive field measuring campaigns in the years 2002–2004 at three beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest sites. At all sites adjacent thinning plots (“T”) and untreated control plots (“C”) were established. Since the sites are characterized either by cool-moist microclimate (NE site and NW site) or by warm-dry microclimate (SW site) and thinning took place in the year 1999 at the NE and SW sites and in the year 2003 at the NW site the experimental design allowed to evaluate (1) short-term effects (years 1–2) of thinning at the NW site and (2) medium-term effects (years 4–6) of thinning under different microclimate at the SW and NE site. Microbial biomass N was consistently higher at the thinning plots of all sites during most of the field campaigns and was overall significantly higher at the SWT and NWT plots as compared to the corresponding untreated control plots. The size of the microbial biomass N pool was found to correlate positively with both gross ammonification and gross nitrification as well as with extractable soil NO₃⁻ concentrations. At the SW site neither gross ammonification, gross nitrification, gross ammonium (NH₄⁺) immobilization and gross nitrate (NO₃⁻) immobilization nor net ammonification, net nitrification and extractable NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ contents were significantly different between control and thinning plot. At the NET plot lower gross ammonification and gross NH₄⁺ immobilization in conjunction with constant nitrification rates coincided with higher net nitrification and significantly higher extractable NO₃⁻ concentrations. Thus, the medium-term effects of thinning varied with different microclimate. The most striking thinning effects were found at the newly thinned NW site, where gross ammonification and gross NH₄⁺ immobilization were dramatically higher immediately after thinning. However, they subsequently tended to decrease in favor of gross nitrification, which was significantly higher at the NWT plot as compared to␣the␣NWC plot during all field campaigns after␣thinning except for April 2004. This increase␣in␣gross nitrification at the NWT plot (1.73 mg N kg⁻¹ sdw day⁻¹ versus 0.48 mg N kg⁻¹ sdw day⁻¹ at the NWC plot) coincided with significantly higher extractable NO₃⁻ concentrations (4.59 mg N kg⁻¹ sdw at the NWT plot versus 0.96 mg N kg⁻¹ sdw at the NWC plot). Pronounced differences in relative N retention (the ratio of gross NH₄⁺ immobilization + gross NO₃⁻ immobilization to gross ammonification + gross nitrification) were found across the six research plots investigated and could be positively correlated to the soil C/N ratio (R = 0.94; p = 0.005). In sum, the results obtained in this study show that (1) thinning can lead to a shift in the balance of microbial inorganic N production and consumption causing a clear decrease in the N retention capacity in the monitored forest soils especially in the first two years after thinning, (2)␣the resistance of the investigated forest ecosystems to disturbances of N cycling by thinning may vary with different soil C contents and C/N ratios, e. g. caused by differences in microclimate, (3) thinning effects tend to decline with the growth of understorey vegetation in the years 4–6 after thinning.     

Influence of the phenolic compound bearing species Ledum palustre on soil N cycling in a boreal hardwood forest

The effects of the understory shrub Ledum palustre on soil N cycling were studied in a hardwood forest of Interior Alaska. This species releases high concentrations of phenolic compounds from green leaves and decomposing litter by rainfall. Organic and mineral soils sampled underneath L. palustre and at nearby non-Ledum sites were amended with L. palustre litter leachates and incubated at controlled conditions. We aimed to know (i) whether L. palustre presence and litter leachate addition changed net N cycling rates in organic and mineral soils, and (ii) what N cycling processes, including gross N mineralization, N immobilization and gross N nitrification, were affected in association with L. palustre. Our results indicate that N transformation rates in the surface organic horizon were not affected by L. palustre presence or leachate addition. However, mineral soils underneath L. palustre as well as soils amended with leachates had significantly higher C/N ratios and microbial respiration rates, and lower net N mineralization and N-to-C mineralization compared to no Ledum and no leachates soils. No nitrification was detected. Plant presence and leachate addition also tended to increase both gross N mineralization and immobilization. These results suggest that soluble C compounds present in L. palustre increased N immobilization in mineral soils when soil biota used them as a C source. Increases in gross N mineralization may have been caused by an enhanced microbial biomass due to C addition. Since both plant presence and leachate addition decreased soil C/N ratio and had similar effects on N transformation rates, our results suggest that litter leachates could be partially responsible for plant presence effects. The lower N availability under L. palustre canopy could exert negative interactions on the establishment and growth of other plant species.     

水分对林地和草地土壤氮初级转化速率的影响

水分含量是与土壤氮转化相关微生物活性的重要影响因素。本研究以黑龙江省北安市的草地和林地土壤为对象,通过室内培养试验,利用¹⁵N同位素标记技术和FLUAZ数值优化模型研究60%和100%田间持水量(WHC)条件下土壤氮初级矿化速率、初级固定速率、初级硝化速率和初级反硝化速率,以探讨土壤氮初级转化速率对水分含量变化的响应,阐明不同水分条件下土壤中氮的产生、消耗、保存机制及其生态环境效应。结果表明: 土壤水分变化不影响草地和林地土壤氮初级矿化速率和铵态氮固定速率,水分含量由60% WHC增加至100% WHC后显著增加了林地土壤的初级硝化速率,但对草地土壤的初级硝化速率没有显著影响。60% WHC条件下草地和林地土壤的初级反硝化速率可以忽略不计,水分含量增加至100% WHC后土壤初级反硝化速率显著提高,且草地土壤的初级反硝化速率显著低于林地土壤。100% WHC条件下林地土壤初级硝化速率与铵态氮固定速率比值(gn/ia)和N₂O排放量均显著高于60% WHC;100% WHC条件下草地土壤的N₂O排放量显著高于60% WHC,但两个水分条件下的gn/ia值无显著差异。表明短期内水分含量的增加可能会增加草地和林地土壤氮转化的负面环境效应,且对林地土壤的影响尤为显著。     

Plant carbon substrate supply regulated soil nitrogen dynamics in a tallgrass prairie in the Great Plains,USA: results of a clipping and shading experiment

Aims Land use management affects plant carbon (C) supply and soil environments and hence alters soil nitrogen (N) dynamics, with consequent feedbacks to terrestrial ecosystem productivity. The objective of this study was to better identify mechanisms by which land-use management (clipping and shading) regulates soil N in a tallgrass prairie, OK, USA.Methods We conducted 1-year clipping and shading experiment to investigate the effects of changes in land-use management (soil microclimates, plant C substrate supply and microbial activity) on soil inorganic N (NH 4 + ? N and NO 3 ? ? N), net N mineralization and nitrification in a tallgrass prairie.Important findings Land-use management through clipping and/or shading significantly increased annual mean inorganic N, possibly due to lowered plant N uptake and decreased microbial N immobilization into biomass growth. Shading significantly increased annual mean mineralization rates (P < 0.05). Clipping slightly decreased annual mean N nitrification rates whereas shading significantly increased annual mean N nitrification rates. Soil microclimate significantly explained 36% of the variation in NO 3 ? ? N concentrations (P = 0.004). However, soil respiration, a predictor of plant C substrate supply and microbial activity, was negatively correlated with NH 4 + ? N concentrations (P = 0.0009), net N mineralization (P = 0.0037) and nitrification rates (P = 0.0028) across treatments. Our results suggest that change in C substrate supply and microbial activity under clipping and/or shading is a critical control on NH 4 + ?

脲酶／硝化抑制剂对土壤有效态氮、微生物量氮和小麦氮吸收的影响

研究了脲酶抑制剂(NBPT)、硝化抑制剂(DCD)及二者组合在草甸棕壤上施用对尿素态N转化及土壤总有效态N、微生物量N的影响．结果表明,尿素配施NBPT、DCD及抑制剂组合能够增加尿素水解后土壤NH4^+含量2％-53％。显著降低了氧化态N的浓度,抑制了土壤中铵态N的氧化,增加土壤总有效N34％-44％,小麦吸N量增加0．26％-6．79％。其中以脲酶抑制剂与硝化抑制剂组合的效果最明显．抑制剂施用增加了微生物在小麦生长初期对有效态N固持,有利于后期土壤有效态N的矿化．     

Inhibition of nitrification in forest soil by monoterpenes

Nitrate production was detected in untreated soil of a Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) stand only after clear-cutting the stand. The aim of this study was to determine whether allelochemical inhibition of nitrification by monoterpenes played any role in inhibiting nitrification in the stand. Therefore, soils from a clear-cut plot and from a forest plot were studied. In the field, monoterpenes (mostly - and -pinenes), measured by soil microair diffusive samplers, were intensively produced in the forest plot, but not in the clear-cut plot. In the laboratory, soil samples taken from the forest plot produced only small amounts of monoterpenes, indicating that monoterpenes were mainly produced by the roots and not to great extent by the soil microbial population. The effect of a mixture of monoterpenes (seven major monoterpenes detected in the field) on net nitrification, net N mineralization and denitrification activities of soil from the clear cut plot, and on carbon mineralization of soils from both the forest and clear-cut plots, was studied in the laboratory. In both aerobic incubation experiments and in soil suspensions with excess NH4-N, nitrification was inhibited by exposure to the vapours of monoterpenes at similar concentrations at which they had been detected in forest plot. This indicates direct inhibition of nitrification by monoterpenes. Exposure to monoterpenes did not affect denitrification. However, it increased respiration activity of both soils. This could also indicate indirect inhibition of nitrification by monoterpenes, due to immobilization of mineral N. Thus it seems that monoterpenes could play a role in inhibiting nitrification in the forest soil.
