秸秆还田量对培肥农田黑土氮素初级转化速率的影响

秸秆还田是土壤培肥的重要措施之一,但培肥后土壤对氮素循环的调控功能是否具有可持续性以及与后续秸秆还田数量的关系尚不清楚。本研究对黑土旱地农田进行9年培肥处理后,设置了连续3年秸秆还田处理,秸秆还田量分别为年均秸秆产量(7500 kg·hm^-2)的100%、67%、33%和0,探讨不同秸秆还田量对培肥土壤(0～10 cm)氮素转化过程的影响。结果表明: 秸秆还田通过影响氮素初级转化速率,控制培肥土壤NH₄⁺-N和NO₃^--N的产生与消耗过程。当秸秆还田量低于67%时,NH₄⁺-N生成速率显著降低,而其消耗速率显著提高,土壤保留NH₄⁺-N的能力下降,而NO₃^--N生成速率增加,土壤NO₃^--N固持能力下降,增加NO₃^--N的积累及淋溶损失风险。对于东北旱地农田,利用秸秆归还进行黑土培肥,需要不低于67%收获量的秸秆持续还田才能维持土壤对氮素的保持功能。

Effects of different straw returning amount on the potential gross nitrogen transformation rates of fertilized Mollisol.

Straw returning is one of the important measures for improving soil fertility. It is unclear, however, whether the regulation function of soil on nitrogen (N) cycle after fertilization is sustainable and the relationship between the regulation function and the amount of straw returned to the field. In this study, a 3-year straw returning field trial was set up in a field had been carried out straw returning of all the havested straw for nine years. The amount of straw returned was 100%, 67%, 33% and 0 of the average annual straw yield (7500 kg·hm^-2) to identify the effects of different straw returned amount on N transformation in the fertilized soil (0-10 cm). Results showed that the amount of straw returning affected the production and consumption of NH₄⁺-N and NO₃^--N by affecting the potential gross N transformation rate. When the amount of straw returning was less than 67%, the production rate of NH₄⁺-N significantly reduced and the consumption rate significantly increased, and thus led to the decrease in soil NH₄⁺-N retention capacity. The NO₃^--N production rate increased and the retention capacity decreased, and the NO₃^--N accumulation and leaching loss risk increased. Therefore, returning more than 67% of harvested straw was necessary to maintain the function of soil N conservation.
