Abstract

In the catchments predominantly occupied by citrus orchards in central China, the discharge of nitrate (NO3) poses a significant threat to the downstream aquatic ecosystems, elevating the risk of eutrophication. It is imperative to comprehend the origins, factors influencing, and methods of regulating NO3 release in these catchments to effectively manage and mitigate NO3 pollution. This research utilized a continuous catchment-scale monitoring experiment in areas with varying percentages of citrus orchards (CW: citrus orchards catchment; RR: cropland catchment with few citrus orchards), along with a field experiment involving different treatments (CK: no fertilizer; CF: conventional fertilizer; OM: CF with organic manure; GM: CF with green manure) to investigate the sources and influencing factors of NO3 output as well as to evaluate control measures. The results indicated a noteworthy increase in NO3 output with an increase in the percentage of citrus orchards, with NO3 loss predominantly stemming from runoff and leaching as a result of soil organic nitrogen (SON) mineralization in citrus orchards. The implementation of green manure mulching emerged as an effective measure to reduce NO3 output caused by SON mineralization, leading to a substantial 33.2 % reduction in NO3 loss compared to conventional fertilizer and a 10.5 % reduction compared to organic manure. These findings offer valuable insights for the regulation of NO3 output and the enhancement of agricultural sustainability in agricultural catchments.
通过绿肥覆盖使柑橘园集水区土壤有机氮矿化产生的硝酸盐量最小化
在中国中部以柑橘园为主的集水区,硝酸盐(NO3-)的排放对下游水生生态系统构成了严重威胁,增加了富营养化的风险。为了有效管理和减轻 NO3- 污染,必须了解这些流域 NO3- 排放的来源、影响因素和调节方法。本研究在柑橘园比例不同的地区(CW:柑橘园集水区;RR:柑橘园较少的耕地集水区)进行了连续的集水区尺度监测实验,并采用不同处理(CK:不施肥;CF:常规施肥;OM:施有机肥的集水区;GM:施绿肥的集水区)进行了田间试验,以研究 NO3- 排放的来源和影响因素,并评估控制措施。结果表明,随着柑橘园比例的增加,NO3-的产量也显著增加,NO3-的流失主要来自径流和柑橘园土壤有机氮(SON)矿化过程中的淋溶。绿肥覆盖是减少 SON 矿化造成的 NO3- 流失的有效措施,与传统肥料相比,NO3- 流失量大幅减少了 33.2%,与有机肥料相比,减少了 10.5%。这些发现为调节农业集水区的 NO3- 产量和提高农业可持续性提供了宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Hydrology publishes original research papers and comprehensive reviews in all the subfields of the hydrological sciences including water based management and policy issues that impact on economics and society. These comprise, but are not limited to the physical, chemical, biogeochemical, stochastic and systems aspects of surface and groundwater hydrology, hydrometeorology and hydrogeology. Relevant topics incorporating the insights and methodologies of disciplines such as climatology, water resource systems, hydraulics, agrohydrology, geomorphology, soil science, instrumentation and remote sensing, civil and environmental engineering are included. Social science perspectives on hydrological problems such as resource and ecological economics, environmental sociology, psychology and behavioural science, management and policy analysis are also invited. Multi-and interdisciplinary analyses of hydrological problems are within scope. The science published in the Journal of Hydrology is relevant to catchment scales rather than exclusively to a local scale or site.
