Long-term exposure of native vegetation to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations is expected to increase C inputs to the soil and, in ecosystems with seasonally dry periods, to increase soil
moisture. We tested the hypothesis that these indirect effects of elevated CO2 (600 μl l−1 vs 350 μl l−1) would improve conditions for microbial activity and stimulate emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a very potent and long-lived greenhouse gas. After two growing seasons, the mean N2O efflux from monoliths of calcareous grassland maintained at elevated CO2 was twice as high as that measured from monoliths maintained at current ambient CO2 (70 ± 9 vs 37 ± 4 μg N2O m−2 h−1 in October, 27 ± 5 vs 13 ± 3 μg N2O m−2 h−1 in November after aboveground harvest). The higher N2O emission rates at elevated CO2 were associated with increases in soil moisture, soil heterotrophic respiration, and plant biomass production, but appear
to be mainly attributable to higher soil moisture. Our results suggest that rising atmospheric CO2 may contribute more to the total greenhouse effect than is currently estimated because of its plant-mediated effects on soil
processes which may ultimately lead to increased N2O emissions from native grasslands.

The Impact of Nitrogen Placement and Tillage on NO, N2O, CH4 and CO2 Fluxes from a Clay Loam Soil 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

To evaluate the impact of N placement depth and no-till (NT) practice on the emissions of NO, N2O, CH4 and CO2 from soils, we conducted two N placement experiments in a long-term tillage experiment site in northeastern Colorado in 2004.
Trace gas flux measurements were made 2–3 times per week, in zero-N fertilizer plots that were cropped continuously to corn
(Zea mays L.) under conventional-till (CT) and NT. Three N placement depths, replicated four times (5, 10 and 15 cm in Exp. 1 and 0,
5 and 10 cm in Exp. 2, respectively) were used. Liquid urea–ammonium nitrate (UAN, 224 kg N ha−1) was injected to the desired depth in the CT- or NT-soils in each experiment. Mean flux rates of NO, N2O, CH4 and CO2 ranged from 3.9 to 5.2 μg N m−2 h−1, 60.5 to 92.4 μg N m−2 h−1, −0.8 to 0.5 μg C m−2 h−1, and 42.1 to 81.7 mg C m−2 h−1 in both experiments, respectively. Deep N placement (10 and 15 cm) resulted in lower NO and N2O emissions compared with shallow N placement (0 and 5 cm) while CH4 and CO2 emissions were not affected by N placement in either experiment. Compared with N placement at 5 cm, for instance, averaged
N2O emissions from N placement at 10 cm were reduced by more than 50% in both experiments. Generally, NT decreased NO emission
and CH4 oxidation but increased N2O emissions compared with CT irrespective of N placement depths. Total net global warming potential (GWP) for N2O, CH4 and CO2 was reduced by deep N placement only in Exp. 1 but was increased by NT in both experiments. The study results suggest that
deep N placement (e.g., 10 cm) will be an effective option for reducing N oxide emissions and GWP from both fertilized CT-
and NT-soils. 相似文献

In a combined field and laboratory study in the southwest of Burkina Faso, we quantified soil-atmosphere N2O and NO exchange. N2O emissions were measured during two field campaigns throughout the growing seasons 2005 and 2006 at five different experimental
sites, that is, a natural savanna site and four agricultural sites planted with sorghum (n = 2), cotton and peanut. The agricultural fields were not irrigated and not fertilized. Although N2O exchange mostly fluctuated between −2 and 8 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1, peak N2O emissions of 10–35 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1 during the second half of June 2005, and up to 150 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1 at the onset of the rainy season 2006, were observed at the native savanna site, whereas the effect of the first rain event
on N2O emissions at the crop sites was low or even not detectable. Additionally, a fertilizer experiment was conducted at a sorghum
field that was divided into three plots receiving different amounts of N fertilizer (plot A: 140 kg N ha−1; plot B: 52.5 kg N ha−1; plot C: control). During the first 3 weeks after fertilization, only a minor increase in N2O emissions at the two fertilized plots was detected. After 24 days, however, N2O emission rates increased exponentially at plot A up to a mean of 80 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1, whereas daily mean values at plot B reached only 19 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1, whereas N2O flux rates at plot C remained unchanged. The calculated annual N2O emission of the nature reserve site amounted to 0.52 kg N2O–N ha−1 a−1 in 2005 and to 0.67 kg N2O–N ha−1 a−1 in 2006, whereas the calculated average annual N2O release of the crop sites was only 0.19 kg N2O–N ha−1 a−1 and 0.20 kg N2O–N ha−1 a−1 in 2005 and 2006, respectively. In a laboratory study, potential N2O and NO formation under different soil moisture regimes were determined. Single wetting of dry soil to medium soil water
content with subsequent drying caused the highest increase in N2O and NO emissions with maximum fluxes occurring 1 day after wetting. The stimulating effect lasted for 3–4 days. A weaker
stimulation of N2O and NO fluxes was detected during daily wetting of soil to medium water content, whereas no significant stimulating effect
of single or daily wetting to high soil water content (>67% WHCmax) was observed. This study demonstrates that the impact of land-use change in West African savanna on N trace gas emissions
is smaller—with the caveat that there could have been potentially higher N2O and NO emissions during the initial conversion—than the effect of timing and distribution of rainfall and of the likely
increase in nitrogen fertilization in the future. 相似文献

Importance of point sources on regional nitrous oxide fluxes in semi-arid steppe of Inner Mongolia, China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
J. Holst C. Liu Z. Yao N. Brüggemann X. Zheng X. Han K. Butterbach-Bahl 《Plant and Soil》2007,296(1-2):209-226
The aim of the present work was to estimate the contribution of different point and diffuse sources to the regional N2O emission strength of steppe in the Xilin river catchment, Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China. Transect studies showed
that the topographic effect on N2O emissions from upland soils was negligible and that upland steppe is only a very weak net source of N2O during the growing season (0.8 ± 0.4 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1). Slightly higher emissions were found for riparian areas (1.8 ± 0.3 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1), which cover ∼4% of the landscape. Even faeces or urine additions stimulated N2O emissions from steppe soils only weakly (<2.5 μg N2O–N m−2 h−1 for a 5 days period). Due to low moisture contents, N2O emissions from dung heaps were also rather low (6.2 ± 0.8 μg N2O–N kg−1 dry matter h−1). In contrast, three orders of magnitude higher N2O emissions were found at sheepfolds (2.45 mg N2O–N m−2 h−1 on average). By calculating N2O emissions on a landscape scale, we show that point sources, and especially sheepfolds, become the dominating regional N2O source during the growing season if stocking rates are >1 sheep ha−1. Our results indicate that the common grazing management in the Xilin river region leads to a translocation of nitrogen from
large source areas towards defined spots. This finding is further supported by measurements of NH3 concentrations at different sites. Since most of the nitrogen accumulated in these hot spots is finally lost through burning
of the dried excrements by the farmers for heating and cooking purposes, the ecosystem faces a significant human perturbation
of regional N cycling, which may contribute to an accelerated degradation of steppe in the Xilin river region.

Effects of Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations on CH4 and N2O Emission from Rice Soil: An Experiment in Controlled-environment Chambers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 on CH4 and N2O emissions from rice soil were investigated in controlled-environment chambers using rice plants growing in pots. Elevated
CO2 significantly increased CH4 emission by 58% compared with ambient CO2. The CH4 emitted by plant-mediated transport and ebullition–diffusion accounted for 86.7 and 13.3% of total emissions during the flooding
period under ambient level, respectively; and for 88.1 and 11.9% of total emissions during the flooding period under elevated
CO2 level, respectively. No CH4 was emitted from plant-free pots, suggesting that the main source of emitted CH4 was root exudates or autolysis products. Most N2O was emitted during the first 3 weeks after flooding and rice transplanting, probably through denitrification of NO3− contained in the experimental soil, and was not affected by the CO2 concentration. Pre-harvest drainage suppressed CH4 emission but did not cause much N2O emission (< 10 μg N m−2 h−1) from the rice-plant pots at both CO2 concentrations. 相似文献

Land-use changes such as deforestation have been considered one of the main contributors to increased greenhouse gas emissions,
while verifiable C sequestration through afforestation projects is eligible to receive C credits under the Kyoto Protocol.
We studied the short-term effects on CO2 emissions of converting agricultural land-use (planted to barley) to a hybrid poplar (Populus
deltoids × Populus × petrowskyana var. Walker) plantation in the Parkland region in northern Alberta, where large areas are being planted to hybrid poplars.
CO2 emissions were measured using a static gas chamber method. No differences were found in soil temperature, volumetric moisture
content, or soil respiration rates between the barley and Walker plots. The mean soil respiration rate in 2005 was 1.83 ± 0.19
(mean ± 1 SE) and 1.89 ± 0.13 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1 in the barley and Walker plots, respectively. However, biomass production was higher in the barley plots, indicating that
the agricultural land-use system had a greater ability to fix atmospheric CO2. The C balance in the land-use systems were estimated to be a small net gain (before considering straw and grain removal
through harvesting) of 0.03 ± 0.187 Mg C ha−1 year−1 in the barley plots and a net loss of 3.35 ± 0.080 Mg C ha−1 year−1 from the Walker poplar plots. Over the long-term, we expect the hybrid poplar plantation to become a net C sink as the trees
grow bigger and net primary productivity increases. 相似文献

Riparian nitrogen dynamics in two geomorphologically distinct tropical rain forest watersheds: nitrous oxide fluxes 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

Fluxes of N2O at the soil surface, dissolved N2O in near-surface groundwater, and potential N2O production rates were measured across riparian catenas in two rain forest watersheds in Puerto Rico. In the Icacos watershed,
mean N2O fluxes were highest at topographic breaks in the landscape (≃ 40–300 μg N2O-N m−2 h−1). At other locations in the riparian zone and hillslope, fluxes were lower (⩽ 2 μg N2O-N m−2 h−1). This pattern of surface N2O fluxes was persistent. In the Bisley watershed, mean suface N2O fluxes were lower (<40 μg N2O-N m−2 h−1) and no identifiable spatial or temporal pattern. Although the spatial patterns and intensities of N2O emissions differed between the two watersheds, surface soils from both sites had a high potential to reduce NO3 to N2O (and perhaps N2). This potential declined sharply with depth as did soil %C, %N, and potential N-mineralization. Simple controls on denitrification
(i.e. aeration, nitrate, and carbon) explained characteristics of potential N2O production in surface and deep soils from riparian and upslope locations. In the field, spatial patterns in these controlling
variables were defined by geomorphological differences between the two watersheds, which then explained the spatial patterns
of observed N2O flux 相似文献

N2O emission from soil following combined application of fertiliser-N and ground weed residues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Emissions of N2O and CO2 were measured following combined applications of 15N-labelled fertiliser (100 μg N g−1; 10 atom % excess 15N) and organic olive crop weed residues (Avena sativa, Ononis viscosa, Ridolfia segetum and Olea europea; 100 μg N g−1) to a silt loam soil under controlled environment conditions. The objective was to determine the effect of varying combinations
of inorganic fertiliser and plant residues on these emissions and soil mineral N dynamics. Emissions were generally increased
following application of residues alone, with 23 ng N2O–N g−1 soil (2 ng N2O–N g−1 soil mg−1 biomass) and 389 μg CO2–C g−1 soil (39 μg CO2–C g−1 soil mg−1 biomass) emitted over 28 days after addition of the Ridolfia residues in the absence of fertiliser-N. N2O emissions from these residue-only treatments were strongly negatively correlated with residue lignin content (r = −0.91; P < 0.05), total carbon content (r = −0.90; P < 0.05) and (lignin + polyphenol)-to-N ratio (r = −0.70; P < 0.1). However, changes in the net input of these compounds through application of 25:75, 50:50 and 75:25 proportional mixtures
of Avena and Ononis residues had no effect on emissions compared to their single (0:100 or 100:0) applications. Addition of fertiliser-N increased
emissions (by up to 30 ng N2O–N g−1 28 days−1; 123%), particularly from the low residue-N treatments (Avena and Ridolfia) where a greater quantity of biomass was applied, resulting in emissions above that of the sum from the unfertilised residue
and fertilised control treatments. In contrast, fertiliser application had no impact on emissions from the Olea treatment with the highest polyphenol (2%) and lignin (11%) contents due to strong immobilisation of soil N, and the 15N–N2O data indicated that residue quality had no effect on the denitrification of applied fertiliser-N. Such apparent inconsistencies
mean that before the potential for manipulating N input (organic + inorganic) to lower gaseous N losses can be realised, first
the nature and extent of interactions between the different N sources and any interactions with other compounds released from
the residues need to be better understood. 相似文献

Subsurface CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Dynamics in Temperate Beech and Spruce Forest Stands 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rates of soil respiration (CO2 effluxes), subsurface pore gas CO2/O2 concentrations, soil temperature and soil water content were measured for 15 months in two temperate and contrasting Danish
forest ecosystems: beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.). Soil CO2 effluxes showed a distinct seasonal trend in the range of 0.48–3.3 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1 for beech and 0.50–2.92 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1 for spruce and were well-correlated with near-surface soil temperatures. The soil organic C-stock (upper 1 m including the
O-horizon) was higher in the spruce stand (184±23 Mg C ha−1) compared to the beech stand (93±19 Mg C ha−1) and resulted in a faster turnover time as calculated by mass/flux in soil beneath the beech stand (28 years) compared to
spruce stand (60 years). Observed soil CO2 concentrations and effluxes were simulated using a Fickian diffusion-reaction model based on vertical CO2 production rates and soil diffusivity. Temporal trends were simulated on the basis of observed trends in the distribution
of soil water, temperature, and live roots as well as temperature and water content sensitivity functions. These functions
were established based on controlled laboratory incubation experiments. The model was successfully validated against observed
soil CO2 effluxes and concentrations and revealed that temporal trends generally could be linked to variations in subsurface CO2 production rates and diffusion over time and with depths. However, periods with exceptionally high CO2 effluxes (> 20 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1) were noted in March 2000 in relation to drying after heavy rain and after the removal of snow from collars. Both cases were
considered non-steady state and could not be simulated. 相似文献

Response of soil respiration to simulated N deposition in a disturbed and a rehabilitated tropical forest in southern China 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Responses of soil respiration (CO2 emission) to simulated N deposition were studied in a disturbed (reforested forest with previous understory and litter harvesting)
and a rehabilitated (reforested forest with no understory and litter harvesting) tropical forest in southern China from October
2005 to September 2006. The objectives of the study were to test the following hypotheses: (1) soil respiration is higher
in rehabilitated forest than in disturbed forest; (2) soil respiration in both rehabilitated and disturbed tropical forests
is stimulated by N additions; and (3) soil respiration is more sensitive to N addition in disturbed forest than in rehabilitated
forest due to relatively low soil nutrient status in the former, resulting from different previous human disturbance. Static
chamber and gas chromatography techniques were employed to quantify the soil respiration, following different N treatments
(Control, no N addition; Low-N, 5 g N m−2 year−1; Medium-N, 10 g N m−2 year−1), which had been applied continuously for 26 months before the respiration measurement. Results showed that soil respiration
exhibited a strong seasonal pattern, with the highest rates observed in the hot and wet growing season (April–September) and
the lowest rates in winter (December–February) in both rehabilitated and disturbed forests. Soil respiration rates exhibited
significant positive exponential relationship with soil temperature and significant positive linear relationship with soil
moisture. Soil respiration was also significantly higher in the rehabilitated forest than in the disturbed forest. Annual
mean soil respiration rate in the rehabilitated forest was 20% lower in low-N plots (71 ± 4 mg CO2-C m−2 h−1) and 10% lower in medium-N plots (80 ± 4 mg CO2-C m−2 h−1) than in the control plots (89 ± 5 mg CO2-C m−2 h−1), and the differences between the control and low-N or medium-N treatments were statistically significant. In disturbed forest,
annual mean soil respiration rate was 5% lower in low-N plots (63 ± 3 mg CO2-C m−2 h−1) and 8% lower in medium-N plots (61 ± 3 mg CO2-C m−2 h−1) than in the control plots (66 ± 4 mg CO2-C m−2 h−1), but the differences among treatments were not significant. The depressed effects of experimental N deposition occurred
mostly in the hot and wet growing season. Our results suggest that response of soil respiration to elevated N deposition in
the reforested tropical forests may vary depending on the status of human disturbance.
