    Notes: [Auszug] Only a few studies of emissions of N2O from soils have been carried out over extended time periods in commenai aricul-tural conditions. In the US Hutchinson and Mosier5 measured a loss of 2.6 kg N2O-N ha-1 during corn growth in typical Colorado conditions and emissions of N2O ranging from 6 to 40 ...

    Notes: Abstract The goals of sustainable food production and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions may be in conflict when green manures are used in flooded rice systems. A field study was initiated in early spring 1992 near Sacramento, California to quantify the potential for enhanced methane emissions following a green manure amendment to rice. Replicate flux measurements were made twice a day every 3–4 days throughout the growing season in four treatment plots: burned rice straw, spring incorporated rice straw, burned straw plus purple vetch and spring incorporated straw plus vetch. Seasonal methane emissions ranged from 66–136 g CH4 m−2 and were 1.5 to 1.8 times higher from the straw plus vetch treatments relative to the straw only treatments. No significant differences in emissions were found between the two straw only treatments or the straw plus vetch treatments. Methane fluxes were exponentially related to soil temperature, but no effect of redox potential or floodwater depth were observed. The potential impact of these results on the global methane budget is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of widely spaced trees ofAcacia tortilis andAdansonia digitata on their understory environments were investigated in four savannas located along a gradient of increasing livestock utilization in Tsavo National Park (West), Kenya. Plant species composition and biomass and the physical and chemical properties of soils that occur below tree crowns were compared to open grasslands. The tree-crown zones at lightly and moderately grazed sites had a unique understory flora and higher plant biomass, lower temperatures and bulk densities, and higher levels of P, K, Ca and mineralizable N than their associated opengrassland zones. In the heavily grazed savanna, few differences between tree-crown and grassland zones were found. The beneficial effects of savanna trees on their understory environments appear to diminish with increasing livestock utilization.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we discuss three topics concerning N2O emissions from agricultural systems. First, we present an appraisal of N2O emissions from agricultural soils (Assessment). Secondly, we discuss some recent efforts to improve N2O flux estimates in agricultural fields (Measurement), and finally, we relate recent studies which use nitrification inhibitors to decrease N2O emissions from N-fertilized fields (Mitigation). To assess the global emission of N2O from agricultural soils, the total flux should represent N2O from all possible sources; native soil N, N from recent atmospheric deposition, past years fertilization, N from crop residues, N2O from subsurface aquifers below the study area, and current N fertilization. Of these N sources only synthetic fertilizer and animal manures and the area of fields cropped with legumes have sufficient global data to estimate their input for N2O production. The assessment of direct and indirect N2O emissions we present was made by multiplying the amount of fertilizer N applied to agricultural lands by 2% and the area of land cropped to legumes by 4 kg N2O-N ha-1. No regard to method of N application, type of N, crop, climate or soil was given in these calculations, because the data are not available to include these variables in large scale assessments. Improved assessments should include these variables and should be used to drive process models for field, area, region and global scales. Several N2O flux measurement techniques have been used in recent field studies which utilize small and ultralarge chambers and micrometeorological along with new analytical techniques to measure N2O fluxes. These studies reveal that it is not the measurement technique that is providing much of the uncertainty in N2O flux values found in the literature but rather the diverse combinations of physical and biological factors which control gas fluxes. A careful comparison of published literature narrows the range of observed fluxes as noted in the section on assessment. An array of careful field studies which compare a series of crops, fertilizer sources, and management techniques in controlled parallel experiments throughout the calendar year are needed to improve flux estimates and decrease uncertainty in prediction capability. There are a variety of management techniques which should conserve N and decrease the amount of N application needed to grow crops and to limit N2O emissions. Using nitrification inhibitors is an option for decreasing fertilizer N use and additionally directly mitigating N2O emissions. Case studies are presented which demonstrate the potential for using nitrification inhibitors to limit N2O emissions from agricultural soils. Inhibitors may be selected for climatic conditions and type of cropping system as well as the type of nitrogen (solid mineral N, mineral N in solution, or organic waste materials) and applied with the fertilizers.

    Notes: Abstract Soil management practices that involve additions of organic materials may influence plant sulfur availability in highly-weathered, acid soils. This study evaluated the effects of organic additions on sulfate adsorption and sulfur availability in a limed (3,4 t ha-1) and unlimed Typic Haplustox soil of the Cerrado Region of Brazil. In unlimed soil, the proportion of applied sulfate (600 kg S ha-1 as gypsum) that was adsorbed temporarily decreased over two cropping seasons by incorporation of 10 t dry matter ha-1 crop-1 of guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) but not when a similar quantity of a tropical legume, feijâo de porco (Canavalia ensiformis L.), was added. Liming reduced sulfate adsorption and resulted in sulfate leaching to a depth of 30 to 45 cm. Both plant materials temporarily reduced sulfate adsorption in laboratory studies when added to an unlimed soil at a rate equivalent to 40 t ha-1. Analysis of soil properties affected by organic additions and liming showed significant correlations between sulfate adsorption and soil pH, extractable aluminum, calcium and magnesium, and surface charge. Maize dry matter yields increased by 1.3 to 3.5 t ha-1 with addition of both organic materials. However, only the feijâo de porco treatment resulted in increases in sulfur uptake for the years in which organic materials were applied. Determining the effects of organic material additions on plant sulfur availability is complicated by the combined effects of sulfur mineralization, sulfate adsorption, and the plant's ability to utilize adsorbed subsoil sulfate.
