华北平原冬小麦/夏玉米轮作体系土壤硝态氮的适宜含量

采用冬小麦季不同施氮处理(夏玉米季不施氮)研究了华北平原冬小麦/夏玉米轮作体系夏玉米季土壤硝态氮的适宜含量.结果表明:在播前土壤无机氮含量较高的条件下,冬小麦季施用150kgN.hm-2即可满足冬小麦/夏玉米两季作物的氮素需求;各氮肥处理在冬小麦季的氮肥施用当季的利用率仅为11%～23%,在夏玉米季氮肥残效利用率则高达30%～52%.当夏玉米播前0～90cm土层硝态氮含量达到82kg.hm-2时,无需施氮即可保证夏玉米十叶期的生长,达到151kg.hm-2时,无需施氮即可保证整个生育期的生长.夏玉米十叶期和收获后0～90cm土层硝态氮含量低于46和65kg.hm-2时,则影响作物正常生长.综合考虑产量和环境效应,冬小麦/夏玉米轮作体系中0～90cm土层硝态氮含量应控制在65～151kg.hm-2之间.     

减量施氮对冬小麦-夏玉米种植体系中氮利用与平衡的影响

研究了冬小麦-夏玉米种植体系中减量施N对作物N利用与平衡的影响,结果表明,与原有高量施N处理(N240和N360)相比,在冬小麦季减半施N未引起产量和吸N量的变化。但在原有低量施N处理(N120)下减半施N显著降低了小麦产量和吸N量;在夏玉米季,在上季减半施N的基础上停止施N后作物产量和吸N量均比原固定施N处理显著下降,N平衡计算结果表明,减量施N条件下0～1m土壤N残留和表观损失的数量均显著低于原有施N量处理,作物N利用率显著提高,但在1～2m层次中累积的硝态氮却不因减量施N而下降,说明这一土层的硝态氮可能难以被作物吸收利用,由此可见,在前茬高施N量下减少氮肥用量有利于提高作物的氮肥利用率、减少N残留与表观损失。     

Nitrate cycling in streams: using natural abundances of NO3--δ15N to measure in-situ denitrification

Contamination of surface- and groundwaters as a result of anthropogenic nitrate loading is of concern in regions subjected to intense agricultural activities. The capacity of watersheds to absorb, process or release nitrate to outflow drainage waters, however, is poorly constrained.An investigation of in-stream denitrification was conducted in a small stream draining a heavily fertilized agricultural watershed by analyzing natural isotopic abundances of nitrate-nitrogen. Using 15N isotopic signatures, we show that denitrification plays a large role in reducing nitrate levels during stream transport over a relatively short distance. We found in-situ nitrate losses of up to 50% and a corresponding shift in NO3--15N values of 10 over a 600 m distance downstream consistent with denitrification. Our results suggest that in-stream nitrate losses must be considered when examining nitrate cycling and contamination in watersheds. Not only should attempts to identify nitrate contamination sources using NO3--15N signatures be carried out with caution (as nitrate-N isotopic values can be altered during stream transport such that they no longer reflect the original nitrate source), but in-stream measures of nitrate concentrations aimed at monitoring contamination levels may underestimate nitrate inputs to surface waters due to denitrification during transport.     

Plant response to nitrate starvation is determined by N storage capacity matched by nitrate uptake capacity in two Arabidopsis genotypes

In a low-input agricultural context, plants facing temporalnutrient deficiencies need to be efficient. By comparing theeffects of NO-starvation in two lines of Arabidopsis thaliana (RIL282 and 432 from the Bay-0xShahdarapopulation), this study aimed to screen the physiological mechanismsallowing one genotype to withstand NO-deprivation better than another and to rate the relative importance of processessuch as nitrate uptake, storage, and recycling. These two lines,chosen because of their contrasted shoot N contents for identicalshoot biomass under N-replete conditions, underwent a 10 d nitratestarvation after 28 d of culture at 5 mM NO. It was demonstrated that line 432 coped betterwith NO-starvation, producing higher shoot and root biomass and sustaining maximal growthfor a longer time. However, both lines exhibited similar featuresunder NO-starvation conditions. In particular, the nitrate pool underwent the same drastic andearly depletion, whereas the protein pool was increased to asimilar extent. Nitrate remobilization rate was identical too.It was proportional to nitrate content in both shoots and roots,but it was higher in roots. One difference emerged: line 432had a higher nitrate content at the beginning of the starvationphase. This suggests that to overcome NO-starvation, line 432 did not directly rely on theN pool composition, nor on nitrate remobilization efficiency,but on higher nitrate storage capacities prior to NO-starvation. Moreover, the higher resistanceof 432 corresponded to a higher nitrate uptake capacity anda 2–9-fold higher expression of AtNRT1.1, AtNRT2.1, andAtNRT2.4 genes, suggesting that the corresponding nitrate transportersmay be preferentially involved under fluctuating N supply conditions.

施氮量对夏季玉米产量及土壤水氮动态的影响

在黄土高原南部旱地有大量氮素残留背景的田块上,研究了不同氮肥用量对夏玉米生长及对土壤水分、硝态氮、铵态氮累积及其剖面分布的影响。结果表明：适量施氮可以提高作物产量;过量施氮没有表现出增产效果,其氮肥利用率只有3．9％,残留率则高达87．2％。施氮240kghm^-2时,0～200cm土层土壤水分达到593mm,且可以下渗到200cm土层;不施氮和施氮120kghm^-2以小区土壤的蓄水量分别为561和553mm,可下渗到180cm。对矿质态氮而言,施氮量可以显著影响土壤中硝态氮的累积和分布,但对铵态氮的影响较小;施氮0,120,240kghm^-2时．收获期土壤硝态氮累积量分别为78,148,290kghm^-2,硝态氮的下移前沿分别到达60,60,140cm。可见,适量施氮会促进作物对土壤水氮的利用。提高作物生物量和产量;过量施氮导致硝态氮在土壤中大量累积,提高硝态氮随水分淋溶危险;但硝态氮向下层土壤的移动显著滞后于水分。     

稳定性铵态氮肥在黑土和褐土中的氮素转化特征

以稳定性氯化铵为氮源,采用室内培养的方法,研究0.20、0.50、1.00 g N·kg^-1干土3种浓度的稳定性铵态氮肥在黑土、褐土中的氮素转化特征.结果表明: 在褐土中,随着氯化铵添加量的增加,土壤中发生硝化作用的时间逐渐推迟,添加0.20、0.50 g N·kg^-1干土处理开始发生明显硝化反应的时间分别为第3、7天,在高浓度氮量(1.00 g N·kg^-1干土)添加下硝化作用受到明显抑制;在黑土中,各浓度氮量添加处理开始发生硝化反应的时间相同,均为第3天,且随着添加量的增加,硝化作用潜势逐渐减弱.只加铵态氮肥的处理中,添加0.20 g N·kg^-1干土的氯化铵氮肥在褐土和黑土中的硝化反应时间分别可维持3周和2周左右;添加0.50 g N·kg^-1干土的氯化铵氮肥在褐土和黑土中的硝化反应时间分别可维持4周和3周左右.与单施氯化铵相比,黑土和褐土在0.20、0.50 g N·kg^-1干土添加浓度下,按纯氮量的1.0%添加3,4-二甲基吡唑磷酸盐(DMPP)、4.0%添加二氰二胺(DCD)均能显著抑制硝化作用,降低硝态氮的含量,抑制硝化作用潜势.综上,在褐土中,随着氯化铵添加浓度增加,土壤硝化作用受到抑制效果大于黑土.在0.20、0.50 g N·kg^-1干土外源铵态氮时,添加抑制剂可以显著抑制铵态氮的硝化作用.因此室内硝化抑制剂培养试验时,建议铵态氮添加量不超过1.00 g N·kg^-1干土,以0.50 g N·kg^-1干土效果最好.     

VARIABILITY IN NITRATE UPTAKE KINETICS IN THALASSIOSIRA PSEUDONANA (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE)1

Short-term (1–9 min) nitrate uptake kinetics were measured in Thalassiosira pseudonana (Hust.) Hasle & Heimdal grown in nitrate-limited, ammonium-limited, and nitrate-sufficient continuous cultures. For all cultures, maximal nitrate uptake rates did not develop until approximately 3 min after nitrate addition; thereafter, nitrate uptake rates remained constant or declined slightly. The K_s and V_max for the nitrate-limited cultures were higher at any growth rate than those for the ammonium-limited or nitrate-sufficient cultures. Thus, much higher nitrate concentrations would be required to saturate nitrate uptake in nitrate-limited Thalassiosira pseudonana than is usually considered necessary. The lack of data for other species grown under a range of environmental conditions makes it difficult to generalize about the effect of preconditioning on nitrate uptake kinetics.     

Nitrate assimilatory properties of barley grown under long-term N limitation: Effects of local nitrate supply in split-root cultures

The effect of nitrate availability on characteristics of the nitrate assimilatory system was investigated in N-limited barley (Hordeum valgare L. cv. Golf), grown with the seminal root system split into initially equal-sized halves. The cultures were continuously supplied with nitrate-N at a relative addition rate (RA) of 0.09 day^?1, which resulted in relative growth rates (RG) that were ca 85% of those observed under surplus nitrate nutrition. The total N addition was divided between the subroots in ratios of 100:0, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. For comparison, standard cultures were grown at RAs ranging from 0.03 to 0.18 day^?1. Initially, biomass and N partitioning to the subroots responded strongly and proportionally to the nitrate distribution ratio. After 12-14 days no further effect was observed. The V_max for net nitrate uptake and in vitro nitrate reductase (NR) activity were measured in acclimated plants, i.e., after > 14 days under a certain nitrate regime. In subroots fed from 20 to 100% of the total N addition, V_max for net nitrate uptake increased slightly, whereas NR activity was unaffected. Uptake and NR activities were insignificant in the 0%-subroot. Uneven nitrate supply to individual subroots had negligible effect on the whole-plant ability for nitrate uptake, and the relative V_max (unit N taken up per unit N in whole plant tissue and time) remained about 7-fold in excess of the demand set by growth. Balancing nitrate concentrations (the resulting external nitrate concentrations at a certain RA) generally ranged between 2 and 10 μM at growth-limiting RA, both when predicted from uptake kinetics and when actually measured. When comparing split root and standard cultures when acclimated, it appears that uptake and NR activities in roots respond more strongly to over-all nitrate availability than to nitrate availability to individual subroots.
