摘要
传统农业在收获后往往会留下多余的矿质氮(Nmin),增加了氮素损失的风险。施用高碳改进剂(HCA)可以在不适宜种植作物的情况下促进微生物氮的保留。然而,土壤类型对HCA施用对微生物氮固定作用的影响尚不清楚。在这里,我们将50 kg N ha−1作为15n标记的(NH4)2SO4, 4 t C ha−1作为淀粉或纤维素施用于四种不同土壤有机碳(SOC)和质地的对照农业土壤的Ap层:碱性粉质Luvisol (SOC 0.93%)和Regosol (SOC 0.35%),酸性砂质Luvisol (SOC 0.58%)和Gleysol (SOC 1.72%)。模拟德国北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚州收获后的土壤条件,在8.6°C和65%的保水能力条件下培养98天。在收获后98天后,根据土壤类型不同,施用纤维素可使Nmin减少50-140 kg N ha - 1,而淀粉可使Nmin保持较快,随后在孵化期结束时逐渐重新释放。hca改良土壤表明,15N的大部分被回收到无法多次提取的土壤氮库中,而不是在微生物生物量中。在hca改性的粘土中,Nret对15N的恢复大约是对照的两倍。在砂质酸性土壤中,HCA使Nret中15N的恢复达到与碱性土壤相当的水平,而在富含soc的砂壤土中,只有纤维素使Nret略有增加。孵育后,高达41%的标记Nmin以氨基酸的形式稳定下来,当添加HCA时效果更明显。我们得出的结论是,不稳定的有机C可以促进多余的Nmin转化为更稳定的N形式,如氨基酸或肽,这些形式能够在收获后时期稳定N。
High nitrogen retention potential of cellulose and starch applied to four soils under simulated post-harvest conditions
Conventional agriculture often leaves surplus mineral nitrogen (Nmin) after harvest, increasing the risk of nitrogen (N) loss. Applying high soil carbon amendments (HCA) can promote microbial N retention when catch crops are not feasible. However, the effects of soil type on microbial N immobilization in response to HCA application are insufficiently understood. Here, we applied 50 kg N ha−1 as 15N-labelled (NH4)2SO4 and 4 t C ha−1 as starch or cellulose to the Ap horizon of four contrasting agricultural soils in different soil organic carbon (SOC) and texture: alkaline silty Luvisol (SOC 0.93 %) and Regosol (SOC 0.35 %), and acidic sandy Luvisol (SOC 0.58 %) and Gleysol (SOC 1.72 %). Soils were incubated for 98 days at 8.6 °C and 65 % water-holding capacity, simulating post-harvest conditions in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. After 98 days under post-harvest condition, cellulose application reduced Nmin by 50–140 kg N ha−1 depending on the soil type, while starch induced faster Nmin retention, followed by gradual re-release of Nmin towards the end of the incubation period. HCA-amended soil showed that most of the 15N was recovered in the soil N pool inaccessible to multiple extractions (Nret), rather than in microbial biomass. In HCA-amended clay soils, the recovery of 15N in Nret was approximately twice that of the Control. In sandy acidic soils, HCA increased the recovery of 15N in Nret to levels comparable to those in alkaline soils, while in SOC-rich sandy loam soils, only cellulose caused a slight increase in Nret. After incubation, up to 41 % of labeled Nmin was stabilized in the form of amino acids, with a more pronounced effect when HCA was added. We conclude that labile organic C can promote the conversion of excess Nmin into more stable N forms, such as amino acids or peptides, that are able to stabilize N beyond the post-harvest period.
