Nitrogen (N) losses through gaseous emission of ammonia (NH) and nitrous oxide (NO) can contribute to both economic loss and environmental degradation. This study examined the effect of biochar and a chemical nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD), on N transformation and N losses via gaseous emission of NH and NO from agricultural soils treated with a range of organic and inorganic N sources. The addition of DCD reduced NO emission from both organic and inorganic N sources treated soils by 75%, but increased ammonium (NH) concentration and subsequently induced high NH emission from the soils. In contrast, the addition of biochar reduced both NO and NH emissions from organic and inorganic N sources treated soils by 23% and 43%, respectively. The effectiveness of biochar and DCD in reducing NH volatilization and NO emission depends on the nature of the N sources and their initial mineral N concentration. The study demonstrated that biochar can be used to mitigate N losses resulting from NH volatilization and NO emission.
氮(N)通过氨气(NH)和一氧化二氮(NO)的气态排放损失可能导致经济损失和环境恶化。本研究考察了生物炭和一种化学硝化抑制剂双氰胺(DCD)对施用各种有机和无机 N 源的农业土壤中 N 转化和通过气态排放 NH 和 NO 损失的影响。DCD 的添加减少了 75%来自有机和无机 N 源处理土壤的 NO 排放,但增加了铵(NH)浓度,随后导致土壤中产生高浓度的 NH 排放。相比之下,生物炭的添加分别减少了有机和无机 N 源处理土壤中 23%和 43%的 NO 和 NH 排放。生物炭和 DCD 减少 NH 挥发和 NO 排放的有效性取决于 N 源的性质及其初始矿化 N 浓度。研究表明,生物炭可用于减少因 NH 挥发和 NO 排放而导致的 N 损失。
