Offsetting N2O emissions through nitrifying CO2 fixation in grassland soil
Soil Biology and Biochemistry(2022)
摘要
This paper presents data on the net greenhouse gas balance (measured as CO2 equivalents) of N2O emitted and C fixed in nitrifying pastoral soils over a 10-week laboratory incubation period. In a low nitrogen environment without urine deposition, typical of large areas of grassland, archaeal-dominated nitrification increased soil organic carbon (SOC) to the point that these offset N2O emissions. In a very high N environment typical of urine patch, where bacteria dominated nitrification, N2O emissions were offset by C fixation for 3 weeks but were then overwhelmed by a rapid increase in N2O production. Given the very large area of grasslands globally and the importance of nitrification in grassland soils, our finding provides a basis for re-evaluating the budget for net greenhouse emissions from grassland.
