The effect of glucose addition (0 and 500 μg C g−1 soil) and nitrate (NO3) addition (0, 10, 50 and 500 μg NO3–N g−1 soil) on nitric oxide reductase (cnorB) gene abundance and mRNA levels, and cumulative denitrification were quantified over 48 h in anoxic soils inoculated with
Pseudomonas mandelii. Addition of glucose-C significantly increased cnorB
p
(P. mandelii and related species) mRNA levels and abundance compared with soil with no glucose added, averaged over time and NO3 addition treatments. Without glucose addition, cnorB
p
mRNA levels were higher when 500 μg NO3–N g−1 soil was added compared with other NO3 additions. In treatments with glucose added, addition of 50 μg NO3–N g−1 soil resulted in higher cnorB
p
mRNA levels than soil without NO3 but was not different from the 10 and 500 μg NO3–N g−1 treatments. cnorB
p
abundance in soils without glucose addition was significantly higher in soils with 500 μg NO3–N g−1 soil compared to lower N-treated soils. Conversely, addition of 500 μg NO3–N g−1 soil resulted in lower cnorB
p
abundance compared with soil without N-addition. Over 48 h, cumulative denitrification in soils with 500 μg glucose-C g−1 soil, and 50 or 500 μg NO3–N g−1 was higher than all other treatments. There was a positive correlation between cnorB
p
abundance and cumulative denitrification, but only in soils without glucose addition. Glucose-treated soils generally had
higher cnorB
p
abundance and mRNA levels than soils without glucose added, however response of cnorB
p
abundance and mRNA levels to NO3 supply depended on carbon availability. 相似文献

Afforestation has become an important tool for soil protection and land reclamation in Iceland. Nevertheless, the harsh climate
and degraded soils are growth-limiting for trees, and little is know about changes in soil nutrients in maturing forests planted
on the volcanic soils. In the present chronosequence study, changes in C, N and total P in soil (0–10 and 10–20 cm depth)
and C and N in foliar tissue were investigated in stands of native Downy birch (Betula pubescens Enrh.) and the in Iceland introduced Siberian larch (Larix sibirica Ledeb.). The forest stands were between 14 and 97 years old and were established on heath land that had been treeless for
centuries. Soils were Andosols derived from basaltic material and rhyolitic volcanic ash. A significant effect of tree species
was only found for the N content in foliar tissue. Foliar N concentrations were significantly higher and foliar C/N ratios
significantly lower in larch needles than in birch leaves. There was no effect of stand age. Changes in soil C and the soil
nutrient status with time after afforestation were little significant. Soil C concentrations in 0–10 cm depth in forest stands
older than 30 years were significantly higher than in heath land and forest stands younger than 30 years. This was attributed
to a slow accumulation of organic matter. Soil N concentrations and soil Ptot were not affected by stand age. Nutrient pools in the two soil layers were calculated for an average weight of soil material
(400 Mg soil ha−1 in 0–10 cm depth and 600 Mg soil ha−1 in 10–20 cm depth, respectively). Soil nutrient pools did not change significantly with time. Soil C pools were in average
23.6 Mg ha−1 in the upper soil layer and 16.9 Mg ha−1 in the lower soil layer. The highest annual increase in soil C under forest compared to heath land was 0.23 Mg C ha−1 year−1 in 0–10 cm depth calculated for the 53-year-old larch stand. Soil N pools were in average 1.0 Mg N ha−1 in both soil layers and did not decrease with time despite a low N deposition and the uptake and accumulation of N in biomass
of the growing trees. Soil Ptot pools were in average 220 and 320 kg P ha−1 in the upper and lower soil layer, respectively. It was assumed that mycorrhizal fungi present in the stands had an influence
on the availability of N and P to the trees.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of N fertilization and the presence of N2 fixing leguminous trees on soil fluxes of greenhouse gases. For a one year period, we measured soil fluxes of nitrous oxide
(N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), related soil parameters (temperature, water-filled pore space, mineral nitrogen content, N mineralization potential) and
litterfall in two highly fertilized (250 kg N ha−1 year−1) coffee cultivation: a monoculture (CM) and a culture shaded by the N2 fixing legume species Inga densiflora (CIn). Nitrogen fertilizer addition significantly influenced N2O emissions with 84% of the annual N2O emitted during the post fertilization periods, and temporarily increased soil respiration and decreased CH4 uptakes. The higher annual N2O emissions from the shaded plantation (5.8 ± 0.3 kg N ha−1 year−1) when compared to that from the monoculture (4.3 ± 0.1 kg N ha−1 year−1) was related to the higher N input through litterfall (246 ± 16 kg N ha−1 year−1) and higher potential soil N mineralization rate (3.7 ± 0.2 mg N kg−1 d.w. d−1) in the shaded cultivation when compared to the monoculture (153 ± 6.8 kg N ha−1 year−1 and 2.2 ± 0.2 mg N kg−1 d.w. d−1). This confirms that the presence of N2 fixing shade trees can increase N2O emissions. Annual CO2 and CH4 fluxes of both systems were similar (8.4 ± 2.6 and 7.5 ± 2.3 t C-CO2 ha−1 year−1, −1.1 ± 1.5 and 3.3 ± 1.1 kg C-CH4 ha−1 year−1, respectively in the CIn and CM plantations) but, unexpectedly increased during the dry season. 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

During microbial breakdown of leaf litter a fraction of the C lost by the litter is not released to the atmosphere as CO2 but remains in the soil as microbial byproducts. The amount of this fraction and the factors influencing its size are not
yet clearly known. We performed a laboratory experiment to quantify the flow of C from decaying litter into the soil, by means
of stable C isotopes, and tested its dependence on litter chemical properties. Three sets of 13C-depleted leaf litter (Liquidambar styraciflua L., Cercis canadensis L. and Pinus taeda L.) were incubated in the laboratory in jars containing 13C-enriched soil (i.e. formed C4 vegetation). Four jars containing soil only were used as a control. Litter chemical properties
were measured using thermogravimetry (Tg) and pyrolysis–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry–combustion interface–isotope
ratio mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS–C–IRMS). The respiration rates and the δ13C of the respired CO2 were measured at regular intervals. After 8 months of incubation, soils incubated with both L. styraciflua and C. canadensis showed a significant change in δ13C (δ13Cfinal = −20.2 ± 0.4‰ and −19.5 ± 0.5‰, respectively) with respect to the initial value (δ13Cinitial = −17.7 ± 0.3‰); the same did not hold for soil incubated with P. taeda (δ13Cfinal:−18.1 ± 0.5‰). The percentages of litter-derived C in soil over the total C loss were not statistically different from one
litter species to another. This suggests that there is no dependence of the percentage of C input into the soil (over the
total C loss) on litter quality and that the fractional loss of leaf litter C is dependent only on the microbial assimilation
efficiency. The percentage of litter-derived C in soil was estimated to be 13 ± 3% of total C loss. 相似文献

Study included seven soils, an adjacent spring and brook and was conducted to estimate CH4 source and sink strengths of forest soils along a wetness gradient, i.e. their exchange with atmosphere (direct emission), and hydrosphere (indirect emission). Soils are represented by anaerobic Histosol, oxic Cambisols, Histosol with degraded peatlayers and Gleysols having
intermediate redox state. They could be separated into three emission groups: CH4 emitting (248–318 kg C ha−1 a−1), CH4 uptake (−0.1 to −5 kg C ha−1 a−1), and soils on the edge of CH4 uptake and release (−0.2–20 kg C ha−1 a−1). Although soils with CH4 uptake were dominant (75%), the soil specific CH4 budget identified the study field (6.53 ha) as CH4 source (40.9 kg C ha−1 a−1). Not only CH4 emissions, but also dissolved CH4 in soil solution varied regularly with soil type. Individual soil solutions contained 0.008–151 μmol CH4 l−1. CH4 vanished to negligible loads, when dissolved CH4 passed an oxidative downslope soil zone, but promoted CH4 uptake was measured at this soil. In turn, CH4 was discharged to the atmosphere, when the soil solution left the pedosphere across an anaerobic soil zone. These measured
indirect emissions were low (34 g C a−1), but the values of individual soil solution indicate possible higher discharges (3.9 kg a−1) at a different soil pattern. The results suggest that CH4 uptake rates of temperate forests are overestimated. 相似文献

Evidence for abiotic immobilization of nitrogen (N) in soil is accumulating, but remains controversial. Identifying the fate
of N from atmospheric deposition is important for understanding the N cycle of forest ecosystems. We studied soils of two
Abies pinsapo fir forests under Mediterranean climate seasonality in southern Spain—one with low N availability and the other with symptoms
of N saturation. We hypothesized that biotic and abiotic immobilization of nitrate (NO3
−) would be lower in soils under these forests compared to more mesic temperate forests, and that the N saturated stand would
have the lowest rates of NO3
− immobilization. Live and autoclaved soils were incubated with added 15NO3
− (10 μg N g−1 dry soil; 99% enriched) for 24 h, and the label was recovered as total dissolved-N, NO3
−, ammonium (NH4
+), or dissolved organic-N (DON). To evaluate concerns about possible iron interference in analysis of NO3
− concentrations, both flow injection analysis (FIA) and ion chromatography (IC) were applied to water extracts, soluble iron
was measured in both water and salt extracts, and standard additions of NO3
− to salt extracts were analyzed. Good agreement between FIA and IC analysis, low concentrations of soluble Fe, and 100% (±3%)
recovery of NO3
− standard additions all pointed to absence of an interference problem for NO3
− quantification. On average, 85% of the added 15NO3
− label was recovered as 15NO3
−, which supports our hypothesis that rates of immobilization were generally low in these soils. A small amount (mean = 0.06 μg N g−1 dry soil) was recovered as 15NH4
+ in live soils and none in sterilized soils. Mean recovery as DO15N ranged from 0.6 to 1.5 μg N g−1 dry soil, with no statistically significant effect of sterilization or soil type, indicating that this was an abiotic process
that occurred at similar rates in both soils. These results demonstrate a detectable, but modest rate of abiotic immobilization
of NO3
− to DON, supporting our first hypothesis. These mineral soils may not have adequate carbon availability to support the regeneration
of reducing microsites needed for high rates of NO3
− reduction. Our second hypothesis regarding lower expected abiotic immobilization in soils from the N-saturated site was not
supported. The rates of N deposition in this region may not be high enough to have swamped the capacity for soil NO3
− immobilization, even in the stand showing some symptoms of N saturation. A growing body of evidence suggests that soil abiotic
NO3
− immobilization is common, but that rates are influenced by a combination of factors, including the presence of plentiful
available carbon, reduced minerals in anaerobic microsites and adequate NO3
− supply. 相似文献

Impact of long-term nitrogen addition on carbon stocks in trees and soils in northern Europe 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of fertiliser N on C stocks in trees (stems, stumps, branches, needles,
and coarse roots) and soils (organic layer +0–10 cm mineral soil) by analysing data from 15 long-term (14–30 years) experiments
in Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris stands in Sweden and Finland. Low application rates (30–50 kg N ha−1 year−1) were always more efficient per unit of N than high application rates (50–200 kg N ha−1 year−1). Addition of a cumulative amount of N of 600–1800 kg N ha−1 resulted in a mean increase in tree and soil C stock of 25 and 11 kg (C sequestered) kg−1 (N added) (“N-use efficiency”), respectively. The corresponding estimates for NPK addition were 38 and 11 kg (C) kg−1 (N). N-use efficiency for C sequestration in trees strongly depended on soil N status and increased from close to zero at
C/N 25 in the humus layer up to 40 kg (C) kg−1 (N) at C/N 35 and decreased again to about 20 kg (C) kg−1 (N) at C/N 50 when N only was added. In contrast, addition of NPK resulted in high (40–50 kg (C) kg−1 (N)) N-use efficiency also at N-rich (C/N 25) sites. The great difference in N-use efficiency between addition of NPK and
N at N-rich sites reflects a limitation of P and K for tree growth at these sites. N-use efficiency for soil organic carbon
(SOC) sequestration was, on average, 3–4 times lower than for tree C sequestration. However, SOC sequestration was about twice
as high at P. abies as at P. sylvestris sites and averaged 13 and 7 kg (C) kg−1 (N), respectively. The strong relation between N-use efficiency and humus C/N ratio was used to evaluate the impact of N
deposition on C sequestration. The data imply that the 10 kg N ha−1 year−1 higher deposition in southern Sweden than in northern Sweden for a whole century should have resulted in 2.0 ± 1.0 (95% confidence
interval) kg m−2 more tree C and 1.3 ± 0.5 kg m−2 more SOC at P. abies sites in the south than in the north for a 100-year period. These estimates are consistent with differences between south
and north in tree C and SOC found by other studies, and 70–80% of the difference in SOC can be explained by different N deposition. 相似文献

To identify the controls on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) production, we incubated soils from 18 sites, a mixture of 52 forest
floor and peats and 41 upper mineral soil samples, at three temperatures (3, 10, and 22°C) for over a year and measured DOC
concentration in the leachate and carbon dioxide (CO2) production from the samples. Concentrations of DOC in the leachate were in the range encountered in field soils (<2 to >50 mg l−1). There was a decline in DOC production during the incubation, with initial rates averaging 0.03–0.06 mg DOC g−1 soil C day−1, falling to averages of 0.01 mg g−1 soil C day−1; the rate of decline was not strongly related to temperature. Cumulative DOC production rates over the 395 days ranged from
less than 0.01 to 0.12 mg g−1 soil C day−1 (0.5–47.6 mg g−1 soil C), with an average of 0.021 mg g−1 soil C day−1 (8.2 mg g−1 soil C). DOC production rate was weakly related to temperature, equivalent to Q10 values of 0.9 to 1.2 for mineral samples and 1.2 to 1.9 for organic samples. Rates of DOC production in the organic samples
were correlated with cellulose (positively) and lignin (negatively) proportion in the organic matter, whereas in the mineral
samples C and nitrogen (N) provided positive correlations. The partitioning of C released into CO2–C and DOC showed a quotient (CO2–C:DOC) that varied widely among the samples, from 1 to 146. The regression coefficient of CO2–C:DOC production (log10 transformed) ranged from 0.3 to 0.7, all significantly less than 1. At high rates of DOC production, a smaller proportion
of CO2 is produced. The CO2–C:DOC quotient was dependent on incubation temperature: in the organic soil samples, the CO2–C:DOC quotient rose from an average of 6 at 3 to 16 at 22°C and in the mineral samples the rise was from 7 to 27. The CO2–C:DOC quotient was related to soil pH in the organic samples and C and N forms in the mineral samples. 相似文献

Czerniakowski, B., Crnov, R., Smith, I. W. and Luck, J.E. 2006. Mundulla Yellows (MY) is a progressive dieback syndrome of Eucalyptus and other native species that was first reported in the 1970s. Despite being observed in Australia for over 30 years, the cause of MY has not been determined. To investigate the role of soil properties in MY, foliage and soil from underneath 40 Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., E. leucoxylon F. Muell. or E. cladocalyx F. Muell. trees from ten sites in South Australia and Victoria, Australia, were analysed. Soil from sites with symptomatic trees had significantly higher pH, EC and lower available iron when compared to soil from sites with asymptomatic trees. High levels of carbonates (CO32−/HCO3−) dominated the aqueous soil extract from sites with symptomatic trees. Foliage analysis of 20 symptomatic trees indicated lower levels of total Fe and Mn and higher levels of Na and Cl, compared to 20 asymptomatic trees. This is the first report that associates soil and nutrients with Mundulla Yellows tree decline. 相似文献

Nitrogen Transformations in Flowpaths Leading from Soils to Streams in Amazon Forest and Pasture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The modification of large areas of tropical forest to agricultural uses has consequences for the movement of inorganic nitrogen
(N) from land to water. Various biogeochemical pathways in soils and riparian zones can influence the movement and retention
of N within watersheds and affect the quantity exported in streams. We used the concentrations of NO3
− and NH4
+ in different hydrological flowpaths leading from upland soils to streams to investigate inorganic N transformations in adjacent
watersheds containing tropical forest and established cattle pasture in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon Basin. High NO3
− concentrations in forest soil solution relative to groundwater indicated a large removal of N mostly as NO3
− in flowpaths leading from soil to groundwater. Forest groundwater NO3
− concentrations were lower than in other Amazon sites where riparian zones have been implicated as important N sinks. Based
on water budgets for these watersheds, we estimated that 7.3–10.3 kg N ha−1 y−1 was removed from flowpaths between 20 and 100 cm, and 7.1–10.2 kg N ha−1 y−1 was removed below 100 cm and the top of the groundwater. N removal from vertical flowpaths in forest exceeded previously
measured N2O emissions of 3.0 kg N ha−1 y−1 and estimated emissions of NO of 1.4 kg N ha−1 y−1. Potential fates for this large amount of nitrate removal in forest soils include plant uptake, denitrification, and abiotic
N retention. Conversion to pasture shifted the system from dominance by processes producing and consuming NO3
− to one dominated by NH4
+, presumably the product of lower rates of net N mineralization and net nitrification in pasture compared with forest. In
pasture, no hydrological flowpaths contained substantial amounts of NO3
− and estimated N removal from soil vertical flowpaths was 0.2 kg N ha−1 y−1 below the depth of 100 cm. This contrasts with the extent to which agricultural sources dominate N inputs to groundwater
and stream water in many temperate regions. This could change, however, if pasture agriculture in the tropics shifts toward
intensive crop cultivation. 相似文献

), a final breakdown product of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, applied to soils and/or that produced upon decomposition of organic
residues in soils may leach into groundwater. Nitrate levels in water excess of 10 mg L−1 (NO3–N) are undesirable as per drinking water quality standards. Nitrate concentrations in surficial groundwater can vary substantially

in the vadose zone and in the surficial aquifer can affect differential concentrations of NO3–N in the groundwater at different points of sampling. The denitrification capacity and potential in a shallow vadose zone
soil and in surficial groundwater were studied in two large blocks of a citrus grove of ‘Valencia’ orange trees (Citrus sinensis
(L.) Obs.) on Rough lemon rootstock ( Citrus jambhiri (L.)) under a uniform N rate and irrigation program. The NO3–N concentration in the surficial groundwater sampled from four monitoring wells (MW) within each block varied from 5.5- to
6.6-fold. Soil samples were collected from 0 to 30, 30 to 90, or 90 to 150 cm depths, and from the soil/groundwater interface
(SGWI). Groundwater samples from the monitoring wells (MW) were collected prior to purging (stagnant water) and after purging
five well volumes. Without the addition of either C or N, the denitrification capacity ranged from 0.5 to 1.53, and from 0.0
to 2.25 mg N2O–N kg−1 soil at the surface soil and at the soil/groundwater interface, respectively. The denitrification potential increased by
100-fold with the addition of 200 mg kg−1 each of N and C. The denitrification potential in the groundwater also followed a pattern similar to that for the soil samples.
Denitrification potential in the soil or in the groundwater was greatest near the monitor well with shallow depth of vadose
zone (MW3). Cumulative N2O–N emission (denitrification capacity) from the SGWI soil samples and from stagnant water samples strongly correlated to
microbial most probable number (MPN) counts (r2 = 0.84 – 0.89), and dissolved organic C (DOC) (r2 = 0.96 – 0.97). Denitrification capacity of the SGWI samples moderately correlated to water-filled pore space (WFPS) (r2 = 0.52). However, extractable NO3-N content of the SGWI soil samples poorly (negative) correlated to denitrification capacity (r2 = 0.35). However, addition C, N or both to the soil or water samples resulted in significant increase in cumulative N2O emission. This study demonstrated that variation in denitrification capacity, as a result of differences in denitrifier
population, and the amount of readily available carbon source significantly (at 95% probability level) influenced the variation
in NO3–N concentrations in the surficial groundwater samples collected from different monitoring wells within an area with uniform
N management.

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

Stream export of nitrogen (N) as nitrate (NO3−; the most mobile form of N) from forest ecosystems is thought to be controlled largely by plant uptake of inorganic N, such
that reduced demand for plant N during the non-growing season and following disturbances results in increased stream NO3− export. The roles of microbes and soils in ecosystem N retention are less clear, but are the dominant controls on N export
when plant uptake is low. We used a mass balance approach to investigate soil N retention during winter (December through
March) at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest by comparing NO3− inputs (atmospheric deposition), internal production (soil microbial nitrification), and stream output. We focused on months
when plant N uptake is nearly zero and the potential for N export is high. Although winter months accounted for only 10–15%
of annual net nitrification, soil NO3− production (0.8–1.0 g N m−2 winter−1) was much greater than stream export (0.03–0.19 N m−2 winter−1). Soil NO3− retention in two consecutive winters was high (96% of combined NO3− deposition and soil production; year 1) even following severe plant disturbance caused by an ice-storm (84%; year 2) We show
that soil NO3− retention is surprisingly high even when N demand by plants is low. Our study highlights the need to better understand mechanisms
of N retention during the non-growing season to predict how ecosystems will respond to high inputs of atmospheric N, disturbance,
and climate change. 相似文献

Tree species and wood ash application in plantations of short-rotation woody crops (SRWC) may have important effects on the
soil productive capacity through their influence on soil organic matter (SOM) and exchangeable cations. An experiment was
conducted to assess changes in soil C and N contents and pH within the 0–50 cm depth, and exchangeable cation (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, and Na+) and extractable acidity concentrations within the 0–10 cm depth. The effects of different species (European larch [Larix decidua P. Mill.], aspen [Populus tremula L. × Populus tremuloides Michx.], and four poplar [Populus spp.] clones) and wood ash applications (0, 9, and 18 Mg ha−1) on soil properties were evaluated, using a common garden experiment (N = 70 stands) over 7 years of management in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Soils were of the Onaway series (fine-loamy, mixed,
active, frigid Inceptic Hapludalfs). The NM-6 poplar clone had the greatest soil C and N contents in almost all ash treatment
levels. Soil C contents were 7.5, 19.4, and 10.7 Mg C ha−1 greater under the NM-6 poplar than under larch in the ash-free, medium-, and high-level plots, respectively. Within the surface
layer, ash application increased soil C and N contents (P < 0.05) through the addition of about 0.7 Mg C ha−1 and 3 kg N ha−1 with the 9 Mg ha−1 ash application (twofold greater C and N amounts were added with the 18 Mg ha−1 application). During a decadal time scale, tree species had no effects—except for K+—on the concentrations of the exchangeable cations, pH, and extractable acidity. In contrast, ash application increased soil
pH and the concentration of Ca2+ (P < 0.05), from 5.2 ± 0.4 cmolc kg−1 (ash-free plots) to 8.6 ± 0.4 cmolc kg−1 (high-level ash plots), and tended to increase the concentration of Mg2+ (P < 0.1), while extractable acidity was reduced (P < 0.05) from 5.6 ± 0.2 cmolc kg−1 (ash-free plots) to 3.7 ± 0.2 cmolc kg−1 (high-level plots). Wood ash application, within certain limits, not only had a beneficial effect on soil properties important
to the long-term productivity of fast-growing plantations but also enhanced long-term soil C sequestration. 相似文献

We examined the hydrologic controls on nitrogen biogeochemistry in the hyporheic zone of the Tanana River, a glacially-fed
river, in interior Alaska. We measured hyporheic solute concentrations, gas partial pressures, water table height, and flow
rates along subsurface flowpaths on two islands for three summers. Denitrification was quantified using an in situ 15NO3− push–pull technique. Hyporheic water level responded rapidly to change in river stage, with the sites flooding periodically
in mid−July to early−August. Nitrate concentration was nearly 3-fold greater in river (ca. 100 μg NO3−–N l−1) than hyporheic water (ca. 38 μg NO3−–N l−1), but approximately 60–80% of river nitrate was removed during the first 50 m of hyporheic flowpath. Denitrification during
high river stage ranged from 1.9 to 29.4 mg N kg sediment−1 day−1. Hotspots of methane partial pressure, averaging 50,000 ppmv, occurred in densely vegetated sites in conjunction with mean
oxygen concentration below 0.5 mgO2 l−1. Hyporheic flow was an important mechanism of nitrogen supply to microbes and plant roots, transporting on average 0.41 gNO3−–N m−2 day−1, 0.22 g NH4+–N m−2 day−1, and 3.6 g DON m−2 day−1 through surface sediment (top 2 m). Our results suggest that denitrification can be a major sink for river nitrate in boreal
forest floodplain soils, particularly at the river-sediment interface. The stability of the river hydrograph and the resulting
duration of soil saturation are key factors regulating the redox environment and anaerobic metabolism in the hyporheic zone. 相似文献

Acidification of Soil in a Dry Land Winter Wheat-sorghum/corn-fallow Rotation in the Semiarid U.S. Great Plains 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Soil pH is decreasing in many soils in the semiarid Great Plains of the United States under dry land no-till (NT) cropping
systems. This study was conducted to determine the rate of acidification and the causes of the acidification of a soil cropped
to a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]/corn (Zea mays L.)-fallow rotation (W-S/C-F) under NT. The study was conducted from 1989 to 2003 on soil with a long-term history of either
continuous NT management [NT(LT)] (1962–2003) or conventional tillage (CT) (1962–1988) then converted to NT [NT(C)] (1989–2003).
Nitrogen was applied as ammonium nitrate (AN) at a rate of 23 kg N ha−1 in 1989 and as urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at an average annual rate of 50 kg N ha−1 from 1990 to 2003 for both NT treatments. Soil samples were collected at depth increments of 0–5, 5–10, 10–15, and 15–30 cm
in the spring of 1989 and 2003. Acidification rates for the NT(LT) and NT(C) treatments were 1.13 and 1.48 kmol H+ ha−1 yr−1 in the 0–30 cm depth, respectively. The amount of CaCO3 needed to neutralize the acidification is 57 and 74 kg ha−1 yr−1 for the NT(LT) and NT(C) treatments, respectively. A proton budget estimated by the Helyar and Porter [1989, Soil Acidity
and Plant Growth, Academic Press] method indicated that NO3− leaching from the 30 cm depth was a primary cause of long-term acidification in this soil. Nitrate leaching accounted for
59 and 66% of the H+ from the acid causing factors for NT(LT) and NT(C) treatments, respectively. The addition of crop residues to the soil neutralized
62 and 47% of the acidity produced from the leaching of NO3−, and 37 and 31% of the acid resulting from NO3− leaching and the other acid-causing constituents for the NT(LT) and NT(C) treatments, respectively. These results document
that surface soils in dry land W-S/C-F rotations under NT are acidifying under current management practices. Improved management
to increase nitrogen uptake efficiency from applied fertilizer would help reduce the rate of acidification. The addition of
lime materials to prevent negative impacts on grain yields may be necessary in the future under current management practices.

The carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage capabilities of Pinus densiflora in six different stand ages (10, 27, 30, 32, 44, and 71 years old) were investigated in Korea. Thirty sample trees were destructively
harvested and 12 were excavated. Samples from the above and belowground tree components, coarse woody debris (CWD), forest
floor, and mineral soil (0–30 cm) were collected. Tree biomass was highest in the 71-year-old stand (202.8 t ha−1) and lowest in the 10-year-old stand (18.4 t ha−1). C and N storage in the mineral soil was higher in the 71-year-old stand than in the other stands, mainly due to higher
soil C and N concentrations. Consequently, the total ecosystem C and N storage (tree+forest floor+CWD+soil) was positively
correlated with stand age: increasing from a minimum in the 10 year old stand (18.8 t C ha−1 and 1.3 t N ha−1) to a maximum in the 71-year-old stand (201.4 t C ha−1 and 8.5 t N ha−1). The total ecosystem C storage showed a similar sigmoidal pattern to that of tree C storage as a function of the age-sequence,
while N storage in the CWD, forest floor and mineral soil showed no significant temporal trends. Our results provide important
insights that will increase our understanding of C and N storage in P. densiflora stands and our ability to predict changes according to stand age in the region. 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

Soluble Organic Nitrogen Pools in Forest soils of Subtropical Australia 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Soil soluble organic N (SON) plays an important role in N biogeochemical cycling. In this study, 22 surface forest soils (0–10 cm)
were collected from southeast Queensland, Australia, to investigate the size of SON pools extracted by water and salt solutions.
Approximately 5–45 mg SON kg−1, 2–42 mg SON kg−1 and 1–24 SON mg kg−1 were extracted by 2 M KCl, 0.5 M K2SO4 and water, on average, corresponding to about 21.1, 13.5 and 7.0 kg SON ha−1 at the 0–10 cm forest soils, respectively. These SON pools, on average, accounted for 39% (KCl extracts), 42% (K2SO4 extracts) and 43% (water extracts) of total soluble N (TSN), and 2.3% (KCl extracts), 1.3% (K2SO4 extracts) and 0.7% (water extracts) of soil total N, respectively. Large variation in SON pools observed across the sites
in the present study may be attributed to a combination of factors including soil types, tree species, management practices
and environmental conditions. Significant relationships were observed among the SON pools extracted by water, KCl and K2SO4 and microbial biomass N (MBN). In general, KCl and K2SO4 extracted more SON than water from the forest soils, while KCl extracted more SON than K2SO4. The SON and soluble organic C (SOC) in KCl, K2SO4 and water extracts were all positively related to soil organic C, total N and clay contents. This indicates that clay and
soil organic matter play a key role in the retention of SON in soil. 相似文献
