Ground water inputs and outputs of N were studied for a small ground water discharge swamp situated in a headwater drainage
basin in southern Ontario, Canada. Darcy's equation with data for piezometers was used to measure inputs of shallow local
ground water at the swamp margin and deep regional ground water beneath the swamp. Ground water flux was also quantified by
measuring ground water discharge to the outlet stream draining the swamp in combination with a chemical mixing model to separate
shallow and deep ground water components based on chloride differences. Estimates of shallow ground water flux determined
by these two approaches agreed closely however, the piezometer data seriously underestimated the deep ground water input to
the swamp. An average ground water input-output budget of total N (TN) total organic nitrogen (TON) ammonium (NH4
+-N) and nitrate (NO3
--N) was estimated for stream base flow periods which occurred on an average of 328 days each year during 1986–1990. Approximately
90% of the annual NO3
--N input was contributed by shallow ground water at the swamp margin. Deep ground water represented about 65% of the total
ground water input and a similar proportion of TON and NH4
+-N inputs. Annual ground water NO3
--N inputs and outputs were similar whereas NH4
+-N retention was 4 kg ha-1 representing about 68% of annual ground water input. Annual TON inputs in ground water exceeded outputs by 7.7 kg ha (27%).
The capacity of the swamp to regulate ground water N fluxes was influenced by the N chemistry of ground water inputs and the
hydrologic pathways of transport within the swamp. 相似文献

Nitrogen (N) dynamics were evaluated from 1 June 1995 through 31 May 1996 within the Arbutus Lake watershed in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, USA. At the Arbutus Lake outlet dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), NO3
- and NH4
+ contributed 61%, 33%, and 6% respectively, to the total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) flux (259 mol ha-1 yr-1). At the lake inlet DON, NO3
-, and NH4
- constituted 36%, 61%, and 3% respectively, of TDN flux (349 mol ha-1 yr-1). Differences between the factors that control DON, NO3
+, and NH4
+ stream water concentrations were evaluated using two methods for estimating annual N flux at the lake inlet. Using biweekly sampling NO3
- and NH4
+ flux was 10 and 4 mol ha-1 yr-1 respectively, less than flux estimates using biweekly plus storm and snowmelt sampling. DON flux was 18 mol ha-1 yr-1 greater using only biweekly sampling. These differences are probably not of ecological significance relative to the total flux of N from the watershed (349 mol ha-1 yr-1). Dissolved organic N concentrations were positively related to discharge during both the dormant (R2 = 0.31; P < 0.01) and growing season (R2 = 0.09; P < 0.01). There was no significant relationship between NO3
- concentration and discharge during the dormant season, but a significant negative relationship was found during the growing season (R2 = 0.29; P < 0.01). Biotic controls in the growing season appeared to have had a larger impact on stream water NO3
- concentrations than on DON concentrations. Arbutus Lake had a major impact on stream water N concentrations of the four landscape positions sampled, suggesting the need to quantify within lake processes to interpret N solute losses and patterns in watershed-lake systems. 相似文献

Nitrogen (N) cycles through air, water and soil and plays an important role in the synthesis of complex N compounds in all forms of life on the planet earth by combining with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (O). Besides, natural fixation of N by microorganisms, advertent and inadvertent fixation of N by human activities (e.g. landscape transformations, fossil fuel burning and use of N in agricultural fields) are altering the global cycle of N. As a result of human activities, N enters in water bodies (e.g. streams, estuaries and coastal regions) making them hostile for aquatic life and contaminates ground water (used for drinking) through nitrate () leaching which causes a number of health problems to human beings and animals. Hence, reduction in level of in water bodies and ground water is a prerequisite that can be met through sustainable management of natural and modified ecosystems. More specifically, agricultural management practices need to be better designed to synchronize the availability of with that of the crop N demand. These management goals can be achieved by thorough understanding of the origin and fate of N, by using isotopic analysis of N and O in , which can provide the best management options for N in the environment. Overall, an integrated approach would be required to limit N production/use and release to prevent critical environmental limit being exceeded. 相似文献

不同施肥模式调控沿湖农田无机氮流失的原位研究——以南四湖过水区粮田为例 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
为探索山东南四湖沿岸麦玉轮作区玉米季内减少土壤无机氮素淋溶和径流损失的施肥策略,降低其对湖区水质产生的潜在威胁,采用田间原位安装淋溶水采集器和地表水径流池收集水样结合室内分析不同形态氮含量的方法,研究了不同施肥模式下无机氮素淋溶和径流损失特征。结果表明:土壤淋溶水量及地表水径流量与降水呈显著正相关关系,其水量受秸秆类物质还田的影响;硝态氮(NO3--N)与铵态氮(NH4 -N)随地表水径流损失的浓度及总量均明显高于淋溶水,由径流方式损失的氮素占2/3以上,是氮素以水溶液形式流失的主要途径;淋溶和径流均以NO3--N损失为主(径流损失中NO3--N占总量的82.9%-90.8%,淋溶损失中NO3--N占63.5%-72.9%),地表径流水NO3--N浓度对水质有较大影响,但土壤淋溶水NO3--N浓度对地下水污染不构成威胁;农民习惯施肥处理在玉米整个生育期淋溶和径流氮损失最高。在保证玉米产量前提下,降低氮素流失造成湖区的污染,平衡施用氮磷钾肥、施用控释氮肥、有机替代无机和秸秆还田等措施均可在沿南四湖区农田使用。 相似文献

Nitrogen Dynamics in Ice Storm-Damaged Forest Ecosystems: Implications for Nitrogen Limitation Theory 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Despite the widely recognized importance of disturbance in accelerating the loss of elements from land, there have been few empirical studies of the effects of natural disturbances on nitrogen (N) dynamics in forest ecosystems. We were provided the unusual opportunity for such study, partly because the intensively monitored watersheds at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF), New Hampshire, experienced severe canopy damage following an ice storm. Here we report the effects of this disturbance on internal N cycling and loss for watershed 1 (W1) and watershed 6 (W6) at the HBEF and patterns of N loss from nine other severely damaged watersheds across the southern White Mountains. This approach allowed us to test one component of N limitation theory, which suggests that N losses accompanying natural disturbances can lead to the maintenance of N limitation in temperate zone forest ecosystems. Prior to the ice storm, fluxes of nitrate (NO3
–) at the base of W1 and W6 were similar and were much lower than N inputs in atmospheric deposition. Following the ice storm, drainage water NO3
– concentrations increased to levels that were seven to ten times greater than predisturbance values. We observed no significant differences in N mineralization, nitrification, or denitrification between damaged and undamaged areas in the HBEF watersheds, however. This result suggests that elevated NO3
- concentrations were not necessarily due to accelerated rates of N cycling by soil microbes but likely resulted from decreased plant uptake of NO3
-. At the regional scale, we observed high variability in the magnitude of NO3
- losses: while six of the surveyed watersheds showed accelerated rates of NO3
– loss, three did not. Moreover, in contrast to the strong linear relationship between NO3
– loss and crown damage within HBEF watersheds [r
2: (W1 = 0.91, W6 = 0.85)], stream water NO3
– concentrations were weakly related to crown damage (r
2 = 0.17) across our regional sites. The efflux of NO3
– associated with the ice storm was slightly higher than values reported for soil freezing and insect defoliation episodes, but was approximately two to ten times lower than NO3
– fluxes associated with forest harvesting. Because over one half of the entire years worth of N deposition was lost following the ice storm, we conclude that catastrophic disturbances contribute synergistically to the maintenance of N limitation and widely observed delays of N saturation in northern, temperate zone forest ecosystems.

If the quality and quantity of yields from cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) are to be maximised, a complete understanding of the N nutrition of the plant must be achieved. The N requirement for developing pods of this species may come from mobilization of N in vegetative tissue, biological N fixation and uptake of N from soil. In this study, the fate of a pulse of fixed 15N2 or of 15NO3-given to different cowpea plants during pod development was determined. The plants were grown in vermiculite in plastic pots that were able to be sealed with silicone adhesive and equipped with a rubber septum so that 15N2 gas could be injected into the air space above the vermiculite, and gas losses would be eliminated. Nineteen days after injection of 15N2 the pods, leaves, nodules and roots contained 65%, 15%, 9%, and 4%, respectively of the quantity of 15N2 fixed. When 15NO3-15N was taken up by other plants during this period, these plant parts contained 40%, 26%, 3% and 19%, respectively, of the total plant 15N. The percentage 15N in roots was greater, and that of 15N in nodules was lower, when 15NO3-15N was applied than when 15N2 was utilised by plants. These results indicate that, while a high percentage of fixed-N or NO3-N given to cowpea plants moved to the developing pods, other sinks were competing for this newly-aquired N. 相似文献

Red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) trees were labeled with15 NO-
3 or15 NH+
4 using the stem-injection method. Leaves were sampled 3 and 15 months subsequent to injection within several crown positions, including top, bottom, proximal, medial, and distal. Stem injection of both15 NH+
4 and15 NO-
3 at levels approaching 1% of crown N effectively labeled red alder trees. Although more variable, 15NO-
3 may have been more efficient in initial labeling. The distribution of 15N in the crown was uniform 3 months after labeling, but was diluted in the distal and top positions by the following year. In both years there was a clear increase in total N concentration toward the periphery of the tree. This increase became more pronounced with increasing crown size and crown closure. Crown position with respect to light availability may be the most important determinant in N allocation in red alder foliage. 相似文献

Tomato root growth and distribution were related to inorganic nitrogen (N) availability and turnover to determine 1) if roots were located in soil zones where N supply was highest, and 2) whether roots effectively depleted soil N so that losses of inorganic N were minimized. Tomatoes were direct-seeded in an unfertilized field in Central California. A trench profile/monolith sampling method was used. Concentrations of nitrate (NO3
-) exceeded those of ammonium (NH4
+) several fold, and differences were greater at the soil surface (0–15 cm) than at lower depths (45–60 cm or 90–120 cm). Ammonium and NO3
- levels peaked in April before planting, as did mineralizable N and nitrification potential. Soon afterwards, NO3
- concentrations decreased, especially in the lower part of the profile, most likely as a result of leaching after application of irrigation water. Nitrogen pool sizes and rates of microbial processes declined gradually through the summer.Tomato plants utilized only a small percentage of the inorganic N available in the large volume of soil explored by their deep root systems; maximum daily uptake was approximately 3% of the soil pool. Root distribution, except for the zone around the taproot, was uniformly sparse (ca. 0.15 mg dry wt g-1 soil or 0.5 cm g-1 soil) throughout the soil profile regardless of depth, distance from the plant stem, or distance from the irrigation furrow. It bore no relation to N availability. Poor root development, especially in the N-rich top layer of soil, could explain low fertilizer N use by tomatoes. 相似文献

采用水培法,研究了旱柳苗在外源添加不同氮水平(贫氮、中氮、富氮、过氮)的铵态氮(NH+4-N)和硝态氮(NO-3-N)的生长、氮吸收、分配和生理响应。结果表明:一定范围氮浓度的增加能够促进旱柳苗的生长,但过量氮会抑制其生长,且NH+4-N的抑制作用大于NO-3-N;两种氮处理下,旱柳表现出对NH+4-N的吸收偏好,在同一氮水平时,旱柳各部位氮原子百分含量Atom%15N(AT%)、15N吸收量和来自氮源的N%(Ndff%)均为NH+4-N处理大于NO-3-N处理,且随着氮浓度的增加,差异增大,且在旱柳各部位的分布为根﹥茎﹥叶;2种氮素过量和不足均会对旱柳根和叶生理指标产生不同的影响,其中在过氮水平时,NH+4-N和NO-3-N处理下根系活力比对照减少了50.61%和增加了19.53%;在过氮水平时,NH+4-N处理柳树苗根总长、根表面积、根平均直径、根体积和侧根数分别对照下降了30.92%、29.48%、19.44%、27.01%和36.41%,NO-3-N处理柳树苗相应的根系形态指标分别对对照下降了1.66%、5.65%、1.49%、5.06%和25.72%。可见,高浓度NH+4-N对旱柳苗的胁迫影响大于NO-3-N,在应用于水体氮污染修复时可通过改变水体无机氮的比例,削弱其对旱柳的影响,从而提高旱柳对水体氮污染的修复效果。 相似文献

秸秆和地膜覆盖对渭北旱作玉米农田土壤氮组分与产量的影响 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
基于田间定位试验,研究了秸秆和地膜覆盖措施对旱作春玉米田土壤氮组分和作物产量的影响。试验包括无覆盖对照,秸秆覆盖和地膜覆盖3个处理,观测指标包括土壤全氮(STN)、颗粒有机氮(PON)、潜在可矿化氮(PNM)、微生物量氮(MBN)、硝态氮(NO_3~--N)、铵态氮(NH_4~+-N)含量及作物产量。结果表明:试验进行5到7年后,与对照相比,秸秆覆盖处理0—10 cm土层STN、PON、PNM、MBN和NO_3~--N含量3年平均分别提高了13.11%、64.29%、17.51%、16.94%和55.37%,10—20 cm土层STN、PON、MBN和NO_3~--N含量3年平均分别提高了5.93%、33.33%、15.78%和27.57%(P0.05)。而地膜覆盖处理0—10 cm和10—20 cm土层NO_3~--N的含量较对照分别提高了189.14%和135.75%(P0.05),其他氮组分与对照处理差异不显著。秸秆和地膜覆盖处理玉米产量较对照处理3年平均分别提高了6.90%和36.74%(P0.05)。玉米产量与0—20 cm土层NO_3~--N含量和NO_3~--N/STN值呈显著正相关关系。总的来看,秸秆覆盖能显著增加旱地土壤全氮和活性有机氮含量,促进氮素固定,但需注意作物生长后期补充氮肥以满足作物生长需要。而地膜覆盖能显著提高土壤氮素有效性和作物产量,但不利于土壤有机氮的固定,且表层土壤存在潜在氮淋失风险。 相似文献

Seasonal variations in nitrate and organic nitrogen content along the wing and midrib of Alaria esculenta (L.) Grev. lamina have been compared with the NO3- cycle in the sea and yearly growth pattern of the blade. Throughout the year, organic N is highest in blade meristem, while NO3- distribution is less consistent. NO3-in blades reaches a peak in March (ca. 25–28 μM), whereas maximum relative accumulation, 3,300X ambient seawater level, occurs in October. Content of NO3- and organic N in the blade decreases in concert with the decline of seawater NO3- in April. The three periods of rapid blade growth are not correlated with a specific organic N content in the blade meristem. Laboratory experiments suggest that low NO3- and elevated seawater temperature are not the major factors retarding Alaria blade growth during summer and early fall in nature. 相似文献

Several boreal and alpine forests are depleted in nutrients due to acidification. Fertilization may be a remedy, but rapidly-soluble salts (N, P, K, Mg) may pose nitrate problems for the groundwater or decrease microbial activity.With the aim to investigate potential nitrogen leaching after fertilization we set up an experiment employing intact soil cores (11 cm diameter, 20–40 cm long) from a mixed forest and a Picea abies stand (soil type Rendsina) in the Northern Calcareous Alps of Austria. The cores were fertilized with a commercial NPK fertilizer or a methylene-urea-apatite-biotite (MuAB) fertilizer at a rate corresponding to 300 kg N ha-1 and incubated for 28 weeks together with unfertilized controls. Both soil water (retrieved 5 cm below the soil surface) and leachate were analyzed for nitrate and ammonium in regular intervals. After the incubation, soil microbial biomass and basal repiration were determined and a nitrogen mineralization assay was performed.For the control, in the soil water and leachate maximum NH4
+ and NO3
- concentrations of 5 and 11 mg N L-1, respectively, were found. Compared to that, MuAB fertilizer resulted in a slow increase of NH4
+ and NO3
- in the soil water (up to 11 and 35 mg N L-1 respectively) and in the leachate (4 mg NH4
+-N L-1 and 44 mg NO3
--N L-1). Highest nitrogen loads were found for the fast release NPK fertilizer, with NH4
+ and NO3
- concentrations up to 170 and 270 mg N L-1, respectively, in the soil water. NH4
+-N levels in the leachate remained below 5, while NO3-N levels were up to 190 mg L-1. Fast- release NPK caused a significant decrease of microbial biomass and basal respiration. These parameters were not affected by MuAB fertilizer.The results suggest that the MuAB fertilizer may be an ecologically appropriate alternative to fast-release mineral fertilizers for improving forest soils. 相似文献

Chlorsulfuron (15 g a.i. ha-1) inhibited growth of wheat (Triticurn aestivum L. cv. Rongotea) especially on high nitrate (NO3) supply. Decreased growth at high NO-3 was associated with higher concentrations of reduced nitrogen (N) and NO-3 in the shoots. Seven days after spraying (DAS), shoot dry weight (dry wt) of sprayed plants was similar with NO-3 or branched chain amino acids as main N supply but 28 DAS, shoot dry wt was greater with the amino acid treatment. One DAS, chlorsulfuron caused substantial decreases in extension of the youngest leaf and acetolactate synthase activity and valine content of shoots of plants supplied with NO-3 or branched chain amino acids. Total amino acid content of shoots was greater in sprayed plants than in unsprayed plants 1 DAS. Acetolactate synthase activity of sprayed plants supplied low NO-3 returned to normal 14–21 DAS. For sprayed plants transferred from low to high NO-3 supply 7, 14 or 21 DAS, shoot dry wt 50 DAS increased with increased time of transfer to high NO-3 while shoot NO-3 content decreased. Shoot NO3 content of sprayed plants transferred to high NO-3 supply 7 or 14 DAS was similar to that in unsprayed plants at applied NO-3 concentrations which inhibited growth. It is concluded that inhibition of acetolactate synthase is likely to be the primary mode of action of chlorsulfuron in this wheat cultivar; data are consistent with the proposal that subsequent NO-3 accumulation can also inhibit growth. 相似文献

Ecologists have found a close relationship between the concentrations of nitrate (NO3
-) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in ecosystems. However, it is difficult to determine the NO3
- fate exactly because of the low coefficient in the constructed relationship. In the present paper, a negative power-function equation (r
2 = 0.87) was developed by using 411 NO3
- data points and DOC:NO3
- ratios from several agricultural ecosystems during different rainfall events. Our analysis of the stoichiometric method reveals several observations. First, the NO3
- concentration demonstrated the largest changes when the DOC:NO3
- ratio increased from 1 to 10. Second, the biodegradability of DOC was an important factor in controlling the NO3
- concentration of agricultural ecosystems. Third, sediment was important not only as a denitrification site, but also as a major source of DOC for the overlying water. Fourth, a high DOC concentration was able to maintain a low NO3
- concentration in the groundwater. In conclusion, this new stoichiometric method can be used for the accurate estimation and analysis of NO3
- concentrations in ecosystems. 相似文献

Lowlands comprise 87% of the 145 M ha of world rice area. Lowland rice-based cropping systems are characterized by soil flooding during most of the rice growing season. Rainfall distribution, availability of irrigation water and prevailing temperatures determine when rice or other crops are grown. Nitrogen is the most required nutrient in lowland rice-based cropping systems. Reducing fertilizer N use in these cropping systems, while maintaining or enhancing crop output, is desirable from both environmental and economic perspectives. This may be possible by producing N on the land through legume biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), minimizing soil N losses, and by improved recycling of N through plant residues. At the end of a flooded rice crop, organic- and NH4-N dominate in the soil, with negligible amounts of NO3. Subsequent drying of the soil favors aerobic N transformations. Organic N mineralizes to NH4, which is rapidly nitrified into NO3. As a result, NO3 accumulates in soil during the aerobic phase. Recent evidence indicates that large amounts of accumulated soil NO3 may be lost from rice lowlands upon the flooding of aerobic soil for rice production. Plant uptake during the aerobic phase can conserve soil NO3 from potential loss. Legumes grown during the aerobic phase additionally capture atmospheric N through BNF. The length of the nonflooded season, water availability, soil properties, and prevailing temperatures determine when and where legumes are, or can be, grown. The amount of N derived by legumes through BNF depends on the interaction of microbial, plant, and environmental determinants. Suitable legumes for lowland rice soils are those that can deplete soil NO3 while deriving large amounts of N through BNF. Reducing soil N supply to the legume by suitable soil and crop management can increase BNF. Much of the N in legume biomass might be removed from the land in an economic crop produce. As biomass is removed, the likelihood of obtaining a positive soil N balance diminishes. Nonetheless, use of legumes rather than non-legumes is likely to contribute higher quantities of N to a subsequent rice crop. A whole-system approach to N management will be necessary to capture and effectively use soil and atmospheric sources of N in the lowland rice ecosystem.IRRI-NifTAL-IFDC joint contribution. 相似文献

Soybean response to nodulation by rhizobitoxine-producing bradyrhizobia as influenced by nitrate application 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Foliar chlorosis of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) resulting from nodulation by rhizobitoxine-producing (RT+) strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum is commonly less severe in the field than under greenhouse conditions. Differences in nutritional conditions between the field and greenhouse may contribute to this phenomenon. In particular, field-grown plants obtain some N from soil sources, whereas in the greenhouse soybean is often grown in low-N rooting media to emphasize symbiotic responses. Therefore, we examined the effect of NO3
- on the expression of RT-induced symptoms. Soybean plants inoculated with RT+ bradyrhizobia were grown for 42 days in horticultural vermiculite receiving nutrient solution amended with 0.0, 2.5, or 7.5 mM KNO3. Foliar chlorosis decreased with increasing NO3
- application whereas nodule mass per plant was generally increased by NO3
- application. Total amounts of nodular RT remained constant or increased with NO3
- application, but nodular concentrations of RT decreased. Chlorosis severity was negatively correlated with shoot dry weight, chlorophyll concentration, and total shoot N content. It was concluded that application of NO3
- can reduce the negative effects of RT production on the host plant. This suggests that any NO3
- present in field soils may serve to limit chlorosis development in soybeans.Abbreviations RT

Stream water exports of nutrients and pollutants to water bodies integrate internal and external watershed processes that
vary in both space and time. In this paper, we explore nitrate (NO3) fluxes for the 326 km2 mixed-land use Fall Creek watershed in central New York for 1972–2005, and consider internal factors such as changes in land
use/land cover, dynamics in agricultural production and fertilizer use, and external factors such as atmospheric deposition.
Segmented regression analysis was applied independently to dormant and growing seasons for three portions of the period of
record, which indicated that stream water NO3 concentrations increased in both dormant and growing seasons from the 1970s to the early 1990s at all volumes of streamflow
discharge. Dormant season NO3 concentrations then decreased at all flow conditions between the periods 1987–1993 and 1994–2005. Results from a regression-based
stream water loading model (LOADEST) normalized to mean annual concentrations showed annual modeled NO3 concentration in stream water increased by 34% during the 1970s and 1980s (from 1.15 to 1.54 mg l−1), peaked in about 1989, and then decreased by 29% through 2005 (to 1.09 mg l−1). Annual precipitation had the strongest correlation with stream water NO3 concentrations (r = −0.62, P = 0.01). Among land use factors, corn production for grain was the variable most highly correlated to stream water NO3 concentrations (r = 0.53, P = 0.01). The strongest associative trend determined using Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) was found between
stream water NO3 concentrations and N-equivalence of dairy production (Bonferroni adjusted P value = 0.0003). Large increases in dairy production were coincident with declining nitrate concentrations over the past
decade, which suggest that dairy management practices may have improved in the watershed. However, because dairy production
in the Fall Creek watershed has been fueled by large increases in feed imports, the environmental costs of feed production
have likely been externalized to other watersheds. 相似文献

九龙江河口区养虾塘沉积物-水界面营养盐交换通量特征 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:5
通过对九龙江河口区陆基养虾塘水样和沉积物样品采集分析及结合室内模拟实验,探讨了虾塘在不同养殖阶段沉积物-水界面营养盐通量时间变化特征及其主要影响因素。虾塘沉积物向上覆水体释放NO_x~--N(NO_2~--N和NO_3~--N)、NH_4~+-N和PO_4~(3-)-P能力均呈现随养殖时间推移而降低的特征。沉积物在养殖中期和后期分别呈现对上覆水体NO_x~--N和PO_4~(3-)-P的吸收现象,但总体表现为释放(平均通量分别为(1.87±1.15)、(1.58±0.52)mg m~(-2)h~(-1)和(1.22±0.62)mg m~(-2)h~(-1))。沉积物-水界面溶解无机氮交换以NH_4~+-N为主(沉积物平均释放通量为(46.18±13.82)mg m~(-2)h~(-1))。沉积物间隙水与上覆水间的营养盐浓度差(梯度)及温度对上述交换通量的时间动态特征具有重要调控作用。研究结果表明养殖初期或中期沉积物较高的无机氮(尤其是NO_2~--N和NH_4~+-N)释放是养殖塘水质恶化的一个极具潜力的污染内源,可能会对虾的健康生长产生负面效应,控制沉积物无机氮释放是养虾塘养殖初期和中期重要的日常管理活动之一。 相似文献

The nitrogen relations of an inbred line of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) thought to exhibit an abnormally low capacity for NO3
– uptake (line LNU) were compared with a line regarded as normal with respect to NO3
– uptake (line NNU). Growth, nodulation, N2 fixation and NO3
– uptake were measured over 7 weeks in flowing solution culture (Experiment 1) by plants dependent for N acquisition on either (i) NO3
– uptake, (ii) NO3
– uptake +N2 fixation, or (iii) N2 fixation only. Effects of plant N status on the short-term uptake and translocation of 15NH4
+ and 15NO3
– were also investigated (Experiment 2). Nitrate uptake per plant by –fix/+NO3
– line LNU was 50% of uptake by line NNU over 35 days, and there were significant differences in specific uptake rates of NO3
– between the lines over the first 24 days. The `low NO3
– uptake' phenotype was indistinct under +fix/+NO3
– treatment. Nitrate lowered specific rates of nitrogen fixation by line NNU but had no effect on line LNU. Only low N status line LNU plants had lower short-term rates of NH4
+ and NO3
– uptake than line NNU. It is concluded that the `low NO3
– uptake' phenotype of line LNU is inconsistently expressed. Circumstantial evidence points to increased NO3
– efflux and decreased xylem translocation of NO3
– as possible explanations for the lower NO3
– uptake by line LNU. 相似文献
