为了探明水稻土落干过程对温室气体排放和反硝化微生物的影响,通过模拟水稻土淹水落干过程,系统监测了落干开始后24 h内N2O的释放和氧化还原电位(Eh)的变化,并利用实时PCR(qPCR)方法测定了反硝化功能基因narG和nosZ的丰度.结果表明:落干开始后4 h N2O释放量就明显增加,在24 h时N2O的释放量比淹水对照增加了5倍多;narG和nosZ基因丰度也随着落干过程的推移而快速增加;而且N2O排放通量与narG基因呈极显著相关(P<0.01).表明水稻土短期淹水落干过程中,含narG基因反硝化微生物是驱动N2O释放的主要功能微生物.
Nitrification inhibitors, such as dicyandiamide （DCD）, have been shown to decrease leaching from urea- and ammoniumbased fertilizers in agricultural soils. The effect of nitrification inhibitors on nitrifier and denitrifier in short- and long-term intensive vegetable cultivation soils was poorly understood. In this study, the pot trial was conducted to investigate the differential responses of nitrifier （amoA-containing bacteria） and denitrifier （nirK-containing bacteria） to DCD in short-（soil S） and long-term （soil L） intensive vegetable cultivation soils. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction （qPCR） and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism （T-RFLP） were employed to detect the abundance and composition of amoA- and nirK-containing communities. The results indicated that application of DCD led to a consistently higher NH4＋-N concentration during the whole incubation in soil L, while it was quickly decreased in soil S after 21 days. Furthermore, DCD induced more severe decrease of the abundance of amoA-containing bacteria in soil L than in soil S. However, the abundance of the nirK- containing community was not significantly affected by DCD in both soils. Long-term vegetable cultivation resulted in a super-dominant amoA-containing bacteria group and less divergence in soil L compared with soil S, and DCD did not cause obvious shifts of the composition of ammonia-oxidising bacteria （AOB）. On the contrary, both amoA- and nirK-containing bacterial compositions were influenced by DCD in soil S. The results suggested that long-term intensive vegetable cultivation with heavy nitrogen fertilization resulted in significant shifts of AOB community, and this community was sensitive to DCD, but denitrifiers were not clearly affected by DCD.
