The interactive effects of various nitrogen fertiliser formulations applied to urine patches on nitrous oxide emissions in grassland
2017
AbstractPasture-based livestock agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O). Although a body of research is available on the effect of urine patch N or fertiliser N on N2O emissions, limited data is available on the effect of fertiliser N applied to patches of urinary N, which can cover up to a fifth of the yearly grazed area. This study investigated whether the sum of N2O emissions from urine and a range of N fertilisers, calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) or urea ± urease inhibitor ± nitrification inhibitor, applied alone (disaggregated and re-aggregated) approximated the N2O emission of urine and fertiliser N applied together (aggregated). Application of fertili…
Land-use and other biogeochemical constraints modulate priming effect at the landscape scale: a fingerprinting approach using analytical pyrolysis
2021
Soil has the potential to sequester or to emit great amounts of CO2, since soil carbon stocks constitute the largest terrestrial reservoir of carbon. Land-use is among the main factors affecting the net storage or the net mineralization of soil organic carbon (SOC) and land-use policies are currently aiming to increase soil organic carbon stocks.However, adding labile sources of carbon to soil (e.g. more crop residues or manure) may alter the carbon cycle, increasing the microbial degradation of the existing SOC pools, a process called “priming effect” (PE). PE could significantly reduce the net storage of carbon and taking into account this effect into carbon storage models may alter their…
