哀牢山木果柯林及退化植被下土壤氮素矿化和硝化作用

采用封顶埋管法,我们于11月21日至次年4月15日,分3个培养期共165天(包括干季初期、中期和末期),对哀牢山原生木果柯林(Lithocarpusxylocarpusforest)、栎类次生林(secondary oakforest)和人工茶叶地(teaplantation)三种群落类型的土壤氮素矿化和硝化作用进行了研究.结果表明:在3个培养期中,不同群落下土壤的氮素矿化和硝化作用都具有明显差异;而且它们均具有明显的干季动态,但变化趋势不尽相同.净氨化速率远高于净硝化速率,后者约为前者的0.5%～10%.结果表明,培养期、群落类型和样方诸因子对净氮矿化速率和净硝化速率的影响均存在不同程度的交互作用.人为干扰能导致氮素矿化和硝化速率等生态系统过程的变化,我们的研究结果为此提供了证据支持.与木果柯原始林相比,茶地和次生林的氮素转化过程更多地受物理因素的控制(如温度和水分).这意味着哀牢山地区的木果柯原始林的保护应该受到重视.     

Formate dependent nitrate and nitrite reduction to ammonia by Citrobacter freundii and competition with denitrifying bacteria

Citrobacter freundii, Paracoccus denitrificans and Pseudomonas stutzeri were grown either singly or in mixed culture in anaerobic nitrate or nitrite limited chemostats with formate and/or succinate as electron donors and carbon sources. C. freundii reduced nitrate or nitrite stoichiometrically to ammonia. Maximum molar growth yields for nitrate (nitrite) were 15.3 (9.9) g/mol for C. freundii on formate with succinate as carbon source, 15.3 (9.5) g/mol for Ps. stutzeri on succinate and 32.3 (20.4) g/mol for Pa. denitrificans on succinate. The almost identical growth yields indicate that the ATP output of the anaerobic processes in the nitrate (nitrite) ammonifying organism and Ps. stutzeri are nearly the same. In mixed cultures with either Ps. stutzeri or Pa. denitrificans, C. freundii was the best competitor for nitrate. These results show that in anaerobic environments C. freundii may compete successfully with denitrifying organisms.     

Seasonal and inter-annual variations of nitrogen diagenesis in the sediments of a recently impounded basin

The Méry-sur-Oise (France) storage reservoir is an artificial basin of 9 m average depth, fed by water from the river Oise with a mean residence time of about 4 days. Sediments are accumulating at a rate of about 0.7 cm/month. In the sediments, two fractions of organic nitrogen with different rates of bacterial degradation could be distinguished, one associated with fresh phytoplankton, the other made of detrital and more refractory compounds. The fluxes of oxygen, nitrate and ammonium across the sediment-water interface were measured with a bell-jar system at different seasons during a 3 year period following flooding of the basin. The measurements show clear seasonal variations in relation with the variations of temperature and input of fresh phytoplanktonic material to the sediment. In addition, a long term trend of increasing ammonium was observed. Measurements were also carried out after dredging of all accumulated sediments of the basin. They showed a considerable reduction of the flux of nitrate to the sediments and a significant reduction of the flux of ammonium to the water column.These results are interpreted in the light of a non stationary model of N diagenesis in accumulating sediments. This model is able to predict at least the general trends of benthic N cycling of basins during the early stage of their ecological succession.     

Nitrogen mineralization rates in salinevs. salt-amended soils

Studies were conducted to compare N mineralization rates in salt-amended nonsaline soils to naturally-occurring saline soils. NaCl, CaCl₂, and Na₂SO₄ were added to nonsaline soils at rates that produced electrical conductivities of the saturation extracts (EC_e) of 5, 10, 15, and 20 dS m⁻¹. Saline soils with similar properties were leached to the same EC_c levels. N mineralization in the Chino soil was inhibited by salt addition, particularly with sodium and calcium chlorides. In the Domino soil there was some inhibition of N mineralization with the chloride salts, but enhancement with Na₂SO₄ was observed. Nitrification in both soils was more sensitive to salt addition than ammonification. N mineralization occurred more slowly in both leached saline soils compared to the salt-amended soils. Leached saline soils often accumulated greater amounts of inorganic N compared to their native saline counterparts, particularly with the 5 dS m⁻¹ Chino soil (native, 44 dS m⁻¹) and with the 5, 10, 15 and 20 dS m⁻¹ Domino soils (native, 32 dS m⁻¹). Kinetic parameters were estimated by the linear least squares (LLS) and the nonlinear least squares (NLLS) methods. Generally, the LLS transformation estimated greater values of potentially mineralizable N (N_o) and lower rate constants (k). With the NLLS equation, N_o values for the leached saline soils were usually lower, and k values usually higher than in the salt-amended soils. The nonsaline controls generally had the highest N_o and lowest k estimates. Average LLS rate constants for the salt-amended and leached saline soils were 0.055 and 0.083 for the Chino, and 0.104 and 0.137 week⁻¹, respectively, for the Domino soils. With the NLLS equation, average k values for the salt-amended and leached saline soils were 0.087 and 0.089 for the Chino, and 0.181 and 0.387 week⁻¹, respectively, for the Domino soils. These results suggest that N mineralization rates obtained in salt-amended nonsaline soils may not be representative of those in naturally-occurring saline soils.     

Effect of simulated forest fire on the availability of N and P in mediterranean soils

The effect of soil burning on N and P availability and on mineralization and nitrification rates of N in the burned mineral soil was studied by combustion of soils in the laboratory. At a fire temperature of 600°C, there was a complete volatilization of NH₄ and a significant increase of pH, from 7.6 in the unburned soil to 11.7 in the burned soil. Under such conditions ammonification and nitrification reactions were inhibited. Less available P was produced immediately after the fire at 600°C, as compared to P amount produced at 250°C. Burning the soils with plants caused a decrease in NH₄-N and (NO₂+NO₃)-N concentrations in the soil as well as a reduction in ammonification and nitrification rates. Combustion of soil with plants contributed additional available P to the burned soil. The existence of a non-burned soil under the burned one played an important role in triggering ammonification and nitrification reactions.     

Magnitude and variations of groundwater seepage along a Florida marine shoreline

Direct groundwater inputs are receiving increasingattention as a potential source of nutrients and otherdissolved constituents to the coastal ocean. Seepageinto St. George Sound, Florida was measuredextensively from 1992 to 1994 using seepage meters. Spatial and temporal variations were documented alonga 7-km stretch of coastline and up to 1 km from shore. Measurements were made at 3 transects perpendicular toshore and 1 transect parallel to shore. The generalresults indicated that seepage decreased with distancefrom shore (2 of 3 transects), and substantialtemporal and spatial variability was observed inseepage flow from nearshore sediments. In addition,trends in mean monthly integrated seepage rates weresimilar to precipitation patterns measured at a nearbycoastal weather station. Based on these measurements, weestimate that the magnitude of groundwater seepage intothe study area is substantial, representing from 0.23 to4.4 m3 sec-1of flow through the sediments, approximately equivalentto a first magnitude spring. Although it is unknown howrepresentative this region is with respect to globalgroundwater discharge, it demonstrates thatgroundwater flow can be as important as riverine andspring discharge in some cases. Our subsurfacedischarge rates suggest groundwater is an importanthydrologic source term for this region and may beimportant to the coastal biogeochemistry as well.

Nitrate leaching and soil nitrous oxide emissions diminish with time in a hybrid poplar short‐rotation coppice in southern Germany

Hybrid poplar short‐rotation coppices (SRC) provide feedstocks for bioenergy production and can be established on lands that are suboptimal for food production. The environmental consequences of deploying this production system on marginal agricultural land need to be evaluated, including the investigation of common management practices i.e., fertilization and irrigation. In this work, we evaluated (1) the soil‐atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide (N₂O); (2) the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks; (3) the gross ammonification and nitrification rates; and (4) the nitrate leaching as affected by the establishment of a hybrid poplar SRC on a marginal agricultural land in southern Germany. Our study covered one 3‐year rotation period and 2 years after the first coppicing. We combined field and laboratory experiments with modeling. The soil N₂O emissions decreased from 2.2 kg N₂O‐N ha^?1 a^?1 in the year of SRC establishment to 1.1–1.4 kg N₂O‐N ha^?1 a^?1 after 4 years. Likewise, nitrate leaching reduced from 13 to 1.5–8 kg N ha^?1 a^?1. Tree coppicing induced a brief pulse of soil N₂O flux and marginal effects on gross N turnover rates. Overall, the N losses diminished within 4 years by 80% without fertilization (irrespective of irrigation) and by 40% when 40–50 kg N ha^?1 a^?1 were applied. Enhanced N losses due to fertilization and the minor effect of fertilization and irrigation on tree growth discourage its use during the first rotation period after SRC establishment. A SOC accrual rate of 0.4 Mg C ha^?1 a^?1 (uppermost 25 cm, P = 0.2) was observed 5 years after the SRC establishment. Overall, our data suggest that SRC cultivation on marginal agricultural land in the region is a promising option for increasing the share of renewable energy sources due to its net positive environmental effects.
