Abstract Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, provide vital support for human life, but overloading nutrients to the Earth system leads environmental concerns, water air pollution on local scales climate change global scale. With an urgent need feed world's growing population concern over nutrient change, sustainable management has become a major challenge this century. To address challenge, body of research budgets, namely inputs outputs given system, provided great opportunities...

Abstract Low molecular weight organic acids exuded by plants roots enhance inorganic P i release into soil solution and thereby increases plant‐available Pi in soils. may also induce (P o ) solution, but kinetics of both Po displacement from the matrix agricultural soils is poorly understood, mechanism for not well explained. This study used kinetic experiments to determine concentrations rates induced oxalic acid, citric malic acid calcareous, neutral acidic Kinetic data were described...

Abstract Nitrogen (N) fertilization has boosted grain production during the past century, while excess N with declining use efficiency (NUE) led to severe pollution in many regions. To achieve goal of sustainable food production, Technologies and Management Practices (TMPs, e.g., optimum application rate methods, N‐transformation inhibitors) have been developed improve crop yield NUE reduce losses. However, it remains unclear how fate changed by environmental factors TMPs. Here, we compiled...

Climate change has intensified the frequency of extreme drought events in desert ecosystems, accompanied by uneven distribution annual precipitation. Whether precipitation at different phenophases have equivalent impacts on plants is an unverified topic, yet it crucial for understanding mechanisms vegetation adaptation to changes This study focuses typical plant Artemisia ordosica and employs situ control experiments using rain shelters simulate (30 consecutive days removal) three...

There is limited knowledge regarding the impact of nitrification inhibitors (NIs) and straw application on fertilizer N retention in-season release. We conducted a trial to study transformation 15 N-labeled urea in soils during growing season maize. To facilitate multiple destructive samplings throughout season, we utilized larger plot (25 m 2 ) lower abundance N-fertilizer (1.193%) than usual. Soil extractable mineral N, fixed ammonium, organic (ON) recovered 20 ± 21% (mean standard...

Abstract Well-acclimatized nitrifiers in high-nitrate agricultural soils can quickly nitrify NH 4 + into NO 3 − subject to leaching and denitrifying loss. A 120-day incubation experiment was conducted using a greenhouse soil explore the fates of applied fertilizer N entering seven pools examine if green manure (as ryegrass) co-application increase immobilization relatively stable thereby reduce accumulation We found that 87–92% 15 N-labelled rapidly recovered as since day only 2–4% microbial...

Ammonia (NH3) volatilization from agricultural lands is a main source of atmospheric reduced nitrogen species (NHx). Accurately quantifying its contribution to regional NHx deposition critical for controlling air pollution. The stable isotope composition (expressed by δ15N) promising indicator trace sources, presupposing reliable isotopic signature NH3 emission sources. To obtain more specific seasonal δ15N values soil partitioning, we utilized an active dynamic sampling technique measure...

Reducing fertilizer-N rate, applying a nitrification inhibitor (NI), and incorporating straw are widely recommended to improve N use efficiency of crops decrease losses. A field 15N tracer study was conducted compare their effectiveness on fates during the maize growing season in Northeast China. The following six treatments were used: (1) no fertilization (control); (2) 200 kg urea-N ha−1 (100%N); (3) (100%N + S); (4) 160 (80%N); (5) NI (Nitrapyrin this study) (80%N NI); (6) ha−1, NI, S)....

As nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is one of the most important greenhouse gases, N O emission pathways and regulation techniques in soils with different vegetation types have become a research focus. Currently, diverse array exists on emissions from types, e.g., forest, grassland, agriculture. Few studies investigated microbial processes lawn soils. Fertilization levels are often similar to or much higher than those agricultural ecosystems, thus fertilized an source atmospheric O. In study, we...
