摘要

在从传统农业到有机农业的早期过渡阶段,人们对氮转化动力学知之甚少。通过量化硝化/矿化率、胞外酶活性(EEA)和氮转化基因(硝化和反硝化),研究了从传统耕作方式向有机耕作方式过渡时农田微生物氮循环的变化。我们调查的耕作方式包含三种二元处理:管理系统(表示一般方法和肥力来源),耕作和覆盖作物。4年后,我们发现,将传统管理的农田转变为有机农业的过程显著降低了净硝化速率,这可能是由于氨氧化古菌(AOA)和氨氧化细菌(AOB)的丰度降低。除了与实验处理有关的术语外,我们还在模型中加入了一个术语“年”,以控制由于经济/覆盖作物轮作和天气相关差异而引起的噪声。研究发现,净硝化作用、土壤NH4+-N浓度、NAG:BG的EEA比值、AOA、AOB和反硝化基因nosZ的丰度对年份变量的影响非常显著。与大多数已发表的文献相反,我们的结果表明,在四年的转化后,对耕作和覆盖作物处理没有显著的响应。结合每年的变化通常比耕作和覆盖作物处理更重要的影响,我们的结果表明,营养过程随着耕作方式的变化而逐渐变化。因此,结合对年际变化的研究可能会产生预测模型,这不仅对研究人员有用,而且对从事传统向有机转化项目的农民也有用。

Little is known about the nitrogen transformation dynamics during the early transition phase from conventional to organic farming. We investigated changes in microbial N-cycling in agricultural fields transitioning from conventional to organic farming practices by quantifying nitrification/mineralization rates, extracellular enzyme activity (EEA), and nitrogen transformation genes (nitrification and denitrification). The farming practices we investigated contained three binary treatments: Management System (denoting both general approach and fertility source), Tillage, and Cover Crop. Four years after the transition, we found that the process of converting conventionally managed fields to organic agricultural practices significantly reduced net nitrification rates, likely as a result of lower abundances of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). In addition to terms pertaining to the experimental treatments, we included a term, Year, in our models to control for noise due to the cash/cover crop rotation and weather-related differences. We found that the Year covariate to have highly significant variation related to net nitrification, soil NH4+-N concentration, the EEA ratio of NAG:BG, and the abundances of AOA, AOB, and the denitrifying gene nosZ. In contrast to much of the published literature, our results showed the absence of a significant response to the Tillage and Cover Crop treatments after four years of conversion. Combined with year-to-year variation being generally more important of an influence than the Tillage and Cover Crop treatments, our results suggest that nutrient processes change gradually in response to farming practices. Therefore, incorporating research about the inter-year variations may yield predictive models that would be useful not just to researchers but also to guide farmers engaged in conventional-to-organic conversion projects.

期刊介绍: The scope of Ecosphere is as broad as the science of ecology itself. The journal welcomes submissions from all sub-disciplines of ecological science, as well as interdisciplinary studies relating to ecology. The journal''s goal is to provide a rapid-publication, online-only, open-access alternative to ESA''s other journals, while maintaining the rigorous standards of peer review for which ESA publications are renowned.
